if i did a political issue. with the people we need to tell the real stories does us mend if he's to be we're in debt and the reason we don't feel in fear of a good audience across the. partisan issue.

this is al jazeera. and live from studio fourteen here it out to their headquarters and welcome to the news group saudi arabia says it has intercepted a ballistic missile getting its proper. videos appear to show the missile in the sky and smoke from the explosion after it was intercepted we will have the very latest. trying to russia hit back after the u.s. president calls them strategic rivals during his national security strategy notes with donald trump also dropped climate change as a security threat they don't see advice of the pentagon. they had no written script until the 1980's but soon man was persecuted ranger will be able to use an alphabet to send text messages and e-mails we'll examine how this will help preserve. and i don't. force rankings are still suffering three months after hurricane rita and scientists are warning are thousands of this not made change will become more

frequent downside to fight it and you can tweet me at any time during the life cycle of the hash tag a.j. please print. your weather news gridlock on air and streaming online through you tube facebook dot com now than saudi arabia says it has intercepted a ballistic missile targeting in the capital riyadh i'm going to pitches they show what looks like the missile in the sky and smoke from an explosion yemen's three fighters say they fired it and the target was a meeting of saudi leaders at the royal palace in the capital another missile from yemen was fired at riyadh's airport last month but it was also destroyed before it hit its target. has this report. this is the moment he fired ballistic missile was apparently shot down by saudi forces based. the say they were

targeting the royal palace which is west of the capital riyadh a large group of saudi leaders were meeting there at the time including king some money and crown prince mohammed bin some money and i think there were these wanted to make a statement that they're still up and running and that they're still fighting this fight the fact that you know in recent days and weeks there's been allegations that there were these are we can buy the base. and they would not be able to shoot missiles further into territory but they proved otherwise. the missile attack happened just hours before saudi arabia was due to announce a tangible budget as well as members of the world family senior ministers were also expected to attend a social media post from a government agency confirmed the missile had been intercepted but that no casualties were reported the saudi led coalition which has been conducting air strikes against who think fighters in yemen for nearly three years retaliated with more strikes in the southern part of the capital sanaa speaking on the group's t.v.

channel to the leader of the molecule who said the missile attacks marks one thousand days since the start of the war in yemen. he today kent tool missile was launched. palace in the heart of free yacht city of saudi arabia this is our answer to them and the whole world the more crimes you perpetrate the more to renig. you will meet nothing but more missiles the war in yemen has created what the u.n. describes as the world's worst humanitarian crisis since the start of the conflict at least ten thousand civilians have been killed and millions are on the brink of famine and as the fighting continues many fear the situation on the ground could get worse if your style of al-jazeera. well if we know it's about us she ran who's the yemen project coordinator for human rights and year reprieve joins us now from london on skype mr brown welcome to the program so this is the second missile

entering saudi arabia what do you think the motivation for is right now well. i think the teams want to show. a symbol that they are still capable of hitting in size. and specially just recently the sat the last territory inside yemen with the other yemeni factions which made an indication for many yemeni observers that actually they have been weakened with the recent split between them and the and the under former president so i think they're trying to show that they are still capable of being inside inside saudi and for them it's also they they kind of use these. anniversaries as a way to show that they are that they're still not hiring that they are still capable of getting inside saudi and the war still going on so a lot of the other yemeni factions have been tied to it by the by the consideration of this conflict they want to show they're still not quite right and it's

interesting isn't it because it's all very well these missiles being intercepted but no question that it's going to have an impact on people living within riyadh isn't it. i mean i think most of the if you're not really at the southern border of saudi you haven't actually known of itself how what's the conflict but i think they want to make sure now that it is on to make sure that the people inside the other feeling left that actually what muhammad and someone promised as a prosperous minority will not happen if the citizens don't feel don't feel i don't feel safe so. i'm not sure they they thought feel that at the at the moment although there have been many maybe bordering towns have been evacuated for security reasons. we got a facebook question from return who says is it a rainy and made missile and it's interesting because this comes on the back of the

u.s. ambassador to the u.n. the quixote just a couple days ago accusing iran of supplying who sees with missiles. i think there is no doubt that they have been signs of more iranian involvement into the into the conflict i mean yes it's not the same way how iran is involved in other places like iraq and syria but definitely as time is passing the iranian involvement is not becoming just a. just a statement and talks actually becoming a reality where i know for sure from my interactions with yemeni military officers who have served under saddam they didn't have these types of miss i'll inside the military inside the any military so this missile have definitely came in during the course of this of this three war so for me yes i think it is that's an alien iranian missile and i think it has been introduced the technology is has been shared by the iranian side who sees it would be will be and has been already i think a force for response from the saudis who feels for their part presumably trying to

force some kind of a deal but having this to and fro almost a stalemate is that what is a stalemate totally. but i think it is want to show the wanted to tell the saudis that actually there is only yemeni counterpart part that they have to talk to the they're not willing to engage with the any legitimacy government they don't consider them as important so that's why they're trying to make the threat so real to saudis or to them to come and talk to the saddam hussein is directly so far the formal statement coming out of the others that we are backing it it just means government and the talks that happen between those two but the main it's trying to make to make it more clear that actually they don't consider having any part of any of the yemeni faction and if somebody wants to talk they have to talk to them and only and only to that but of course let's not forget that this all of this come on the back of the of the regular normal yemenis that. alright but

a show about it's great to get your perspective on this important story very much appreciate it thanks very much indeed thank you know that china and russia have hit back at the united states for labeling them rivals that pose a threat to america's security president donald trump laid out his framework for america saying the country faced a number of threats namely from beijing and from moscow china responded to trump's comments calling for the united states to stop distorting his strategic intentions and to abandon the cold war mentality russia called trump's strategy imperialist and said it showed a lack of willingness to give up on unilateralism is more of what trump had to say . we will attempt to build a great partnership with those and other countries but in a manner that always protects our national interest but while we seek such

opportunities of cooperation we will stand up for ourselves and we will stand up for our country like we have never stood up before. the trouble so the climate change out of the security strategy is whether that's a big issue because of course it's more or more biggest storms coming through and scientists of making the link oh they are they are actually in fact two new very very new reports independent ones have estimated that the likelihood of more devastating storms happening has at least triples because of global warming now on monday nasa said the last three november's have been the warmest in fact in the hot last one hundred thirty seven years of record keeping and says a rise in sea levels warm oceans temperatures and extreme rainfall have all increased damages caused by recent hurricanes like harvey and maria now this is

that once a car cane season is already estimated to cost over two hundred billion dollars in damages and lost revenue hark an area which hits puerto rico three months ago is bodies have caused the knowledge of an longest blackout in u.s. history now according to the local government forty percent of the island still has no elections d. and five hundred people living in shelters now puerto rico was already in financial trouble and before the maria hearkened hit and it has been in a recession for a decade and the government had declared it bankrupt now to restructure one hundred twenty billion dollars debt puerto rico is struggling to rebuild after hard korea's slammed into the island three months ago in fact the scale of the devastation is so big that the governor has ordered a review of the official death toll which company stands at sixty four and a lot follows investigations from several news outlets and nonprofit organizations that have questioned that official figure and it's thought the death toll could

actually be more than a family's and now u.s. based refugees are human refugees international has actually criticized the local and federal harken response in puerto rico saying not enough is being done something u.s. federal emergency. management eight management agency has rejected and i'm just wants to show you find. it's not coming up is that there's a link next one poetry consult also taking matters into their own hands and they're using social media to spread the world they've actually started a campaign called our power payout to rebuild the island and what they want to do is really build it in a very sustainable way and they've been using the hash tag which says hey power of course puts reka that's the one that's being used of course on social media across social media as well now under the banner of just recovery thousands have come together to design what they're calling a holistic plan for the island to be rebuilt and that's to be rebuilt away from

disaster capitalism which if you've not heard of before that's when you see private companies and big conglomerates come into a disaster area to rebuild it without the input of the locals and it's usually they are the ones that suffer and as this tweet just hit the homie highlights sustainability without justice is just green disaster capitalism if i scroll up there you just see of course this is all i want for christmas is climate justice and a just recovering that's the hashtag for puerto rican of course christmas is just around the corner now this story is not going anyway it's not going away anytime soon so here watching us from puerto rico then get in touch with us we want to hear from you the hashtags a.j. nice grade and you can always tweet me. carol thanks very much indeed a fascinating well let's take this all and we can speak now to jake smith who's american director of natural resources defense council and environmental advocacy organization jay welcome to the program this pullback by donald trump own the

climate change take it out of the national security strategy to put in there by obama the thing is this totally ignores the view of the pentagon which regards climate change as a national security threat. yeah thanks for having me on you know i think this is another clear sign that the trump administration does not recognize the threat of climate change and take it seriously as you mention the pentagon businesses around the world recognize that climate change is real having impacts now and will have huge economic devastation if we don't act aggressively and you know the pentagon for years has recognized that climate change is impacting their ability to work overseas and potentially put it risk many of the efforts that the u.s. is trying to achieve because climate change has a destabilizing effect on lots of countries if you don't let's just let me know i'm not a bit wiser do depend you can think that this is a national security threat what all the direct threats to the united states because

of climate change there's typically been sort of two conclusions from the military officials in the u.s. and first is that they're feeling it right now in how they operate so there's bases in the u.s. that are seeing sea level rise there's operations overseas that are being impacted by droughts and floods and the second piece is the pentagon obviously usually tries to avoid wars and so one of the factors that leads to wars is destabilize countries and if you have droughts if you have floods those are the kinds of things that tend to destabilize countries in the future and with climate change making those worse the pentagon is worried that they will have to be called on to help prop up governments around the world as they get destabilized by these extreme weather events and he also seems to be ignoring the advice of his own defense secretary james mattis who said the climate change is impacting all stability or is the world where our troops were breaking today which is what you just said and also rex tillerson and mattis are reported to have argued against the united states pulling

out of the paris agreement. yeah i think you know they're part of the large group of politicians of both republicans and democrats that have recognize that climate change is real and causing impacts today but also businesses you know when the trumpet ministration pulled out of the paris agreement there was a clear signal from american companies american mayors and governors that they were going to continue to move forward and i think that they're recognizing that the trumpet ministration we may be trying to take the u.s. backwards but they're going to continue to move forward on a clean energy economy. i think it's very briefly is not working on his own here was a lot of support for his point of view within the republican party and indeed within the united states there is you know i unfortunately strong support within segments of the republican party but you know the american public strongly supports climate action poll after poll has shown that you know upwards of sixty five to seventy percent of the american public wants to continue with climate

action and in fact stay in the paris agreement so i think in some sense this this administration is on the outside of public opinion on this issue all right jake great to get your perspective on this really appreciate that from the national resources defense council thanks very much indeed. and more on the u.s. and global warming right here this is a techno show it's from back in july early this year examining the politics of climate change and how florida is the front line of rising sea levels and his what the met there has to say i don't have any i don't have the liberty all the time to debate why climate change is happening all i have is the opportunity to fix it. which is the bay where the sea levels are rising is not republican is not democrat news no limits find you can find the program in our programs section. all right the new leader of south africa's ruling party the a.n.c. is calling for unity so ram opposes who is currently the deputy president will take

over from president jacob zuma he zuma is exwife because and did ami zuma in the vote at the party conference which was preceded by a but it campaign tell you page and this report. cyril is from soweto most people here are pleased he's the new president of the governing african national congress oh i'm so happy i'm so happy it's a good thing really it is that we were weary no we were drowning we're just around each but now i am happy he may have lived it's noisy busy streets behind to become one of south africa's richest men but some thought he'd never get his humble roots i think you take the country to a bridge and every news business big round i don't think is that much and he's been to school you know and he's you grew he was born and grew up in so it so you know needs of the people and there are many problems increasing numbers of south africans no longer vote for the a.n.c.

which they feel has failed to deliver on its promise of a better life for all. and ever there is a pink. you know just leave thing together no. option but to be the better. of than what is the border but. to many people once a favorite of nelson mandela symbolizes the kind of leader they need after a decade of president jacob zuma scandals they think his business acumen will lead to a stronger economy millions all south africans live below the poverty line many of them and in shacks like they knees and because economic growth is sluggish they simply aren't enough decent jobs so people can work their way up so generation after generation and a seemingly endless cycle several bongani zita makes a living guiding tourists through so where so he thinks his namesake should do

something about undocumented immigrants who are willing to work for less money in poor conditions in some south africans but he's a bit unsure about. even refer. there was. a bar team. and you know that kind of feeling that kind of vibe. everyone was excited but. at the end. the a.n.c. voted for change and the expectations are high so i has a lot to prove turning a page al-jazeera switch south africa well we can speak to roughen thinker who is a political analyst and specialist on african diplomacy and foreign policy at the university of johannesburg and joins us now live from the rough welcome to the program and want to start with a comment from facebook from south africa from who says congratulations around

oppose it but he's inherited a mess and that's the truth isn't it how hard will it be for him to unite the a.n.c. that is that there is indeed no other way of putting it other than the two a because india is in headed to a mess because people have been disappointed under president jacob zuma see leadership and i think expectations at. an extent where you could say it's under realistic but something very interesting i think is happening in the psyche of south africans last night to deal with a great deal of jubilation i mean on our t.v. screen local t.v. screens and looking at the media but when we wake up this morning listening to what is happening look into into what people are posting the phrase is cautious optimism because people are beginning to realize that. he's surrounded by very questionable characters this part of the top six mike said delimitation as to how far he can go

when it comes to the a.n.c. and the country from the current crisis so what does it mean. if that is the path to the presidency clear for him or no. well the part for him the main question is what is it how far will he be allowed to go when it comes to uprooting corruption in south africa the reality is that corruption has become systemic it has become structural and mr moore will need some allies within his party to help be more brute corruption the problem is that the top six leadership that he has been elected with i don't think he can count on them as permanent allies to help him approved this corruption because some of them are directly implicated we. find himself in a situation where he my attempt to prosecute all leaks and i think that might cause

rumbles within the party i think it's going to be a very intense power struggle within the party he will have to negotiate he will have to cut deals with some within the party in order to achieve his grand course. in the short term. those who must of the president of the county i think that one thing that mr i'm opposed us leadership will have to do is to come up with a program on how do you. exit he's no longer the president of the party he might join the veterans' league as an elder within the agency but we know that there's a possibility that he might have to answer to charges of corruption and i think that mr will have to work a political solution on how to actually deal with the question of mr if he goes to hasty against mr zuma there might be repercussion within the party given the day he's power it will certainly be constrained by some of the allies of mr zuma that

are still remaining within key positions in the party. talk a great to get your point of view very much thank you speaking to us there from johannesburg who is still around and preserve you want to know you can find out here as a full account of his career at al-jazeera dot com how he was a key negotiator in the transition to democracy in south africa and he was even considered his nose in mandela's number two is a picture of him that many years ago but he lost that mission to talk back at al-jazeera dot com onto a story about what we do to bring you the news around the world thousands of journalists are on the front lines of important stories covering everything from war zones to natural disasters but in this era of heightened tension journalists face intimidation and attacks on a daily basis as well as hearing accusations of fake news from the u.s. president and many say the job has become ever more difficult barca as it is now.

the annual round up by reporters without borders paints a bleak picture of media safety and freedom around the world sixty five journalists have been killed this year most while working in their own countries three hundred twenty six are being detained fifty four being held hostage and to a missing. syria remains the world's deadliest country for journalists twelve have been killed this year reporting on the conflict but close behind is mexico with eleven killed many journalists such as having a valdez cut down us were murdered for their coverage of the drugs trade and organized crime most of these murders remain unpunished of the fifty four journalists being held hostage many are being held by armed groups such as i saw in the middle east. ten women journalists were among those killed this year compared to five last year. was murdered by

a car bomb in malta despite receiving threats she continued to denounce alleged government corruption so if we look at bigger pictures of all journalists killed this year sixty percent deliberately targeted because of that. the other forty percent were killed while in the field sort of doing their jobs but when we look at the female journalists that were targeted nearly all of them were specifically into liberally targeted of the three hundred twenty six to ten journalists more than half are being held in only five countries vietnam iran syria turkey and top of the list china many without any solid charge. this is the case for al-jazeera as mahmoud a sane arrested in egypt a year ago while on holiday the detention was one of a string of a rest by the egyptian authorities targeting al jazeera staff in the country reporters without borders findings are alarming but remarkably the number of journalists killed this year is at its lowest in fourteen years better safety

training and intensive lobbying by campaign group so helped but in many cases the downward trend is a result of journalists simply leaving the world's most dangerous places and in the absence of journalists fight or voices remain silent they've parker al-jazeera london. who's the beirut bureau chief for the new york times joins us now from the lebanese capital and bob welcome to the program welcome to the newsgroup now we know that journalists face dangers in war zones of course but this issue of being specifically targeted seems to be growing tell us more about that yes well journalists are targeted people will power and people here don't know that journalists can expose wrongdoing or draw attention to act they don't get their propaganda of course we also face dangers without being targeted or huntley if we

travel to areas that are being are being rude they're destroyed where there is no help or where we can be detained by government agencies or militants manned and female journalists particularly are becoming more targeted as time goes on. i'm not sure i mean i think. journalism is becoming more and more. generally people actually at least in terms of correspondents out in the field so maybe the run of the numbers just have to be more women who are armed and doing dangerous work ok well let's not going to play you something that really really demonstrates the challenges that journalists face this is a clip from len o'donnell who is the x. bureau chief of a.p. in kabul so just have a listen to this my name's lino donal until a year ago i was bureau chief in afghanistan for the associated press every day we face the possibility of being caught up or targeted in suicide attacks and

shootings i had one colleague saddo ahmed killed with a shot to the head during a sage in early twenty sixteen i received a threat signed i as horas son the name islamic state he uses for the region that includes afghanistan promising revenge for a story that i had written as subsequent investigations concluded it more likely than not came from within my bureau not unusual a lot of kidnappings were taking place in kabul with the collusion of colleagues so after many years of covering war and conflict i concluded that the odds were moving against me and so with a heavy heart i decided to leave couple so there you have it that's and then o'donnell the experience chief a.p. in kabul really demonstrating the kind of challenges that journalists face around the world yes i know when and those concerns are certainly common to many journalists out there and particularly dangerous when dealing with illicit crime

rings that i'm thinking of mexico particular. yes in mexico there are cartels that have been really brutal in killing journalists most of them are mexican journalists trying to cover an important story in their own country and as we're getting more and more journalists being arrested many held without any kind of solid charge what can be done to try and prevent that from happening well i think number one is to spread awareness that even when people like president trump and other leaders around the world are adopting the phrase fake news journalists are out there covering real news and you know we're finding real people visiting places on the ground when we're physically able to cross checking diligently when we're not and when we're treated like enemies by governments and and others is certainly further endangers us so i think up public awareness number one and strengthening legal and human rights protections for journalists is another

and finally news organizations have to continue improving the way we take care of each other in all ways when we face traumatic events and we struggle with the aftermath of the mass of that and when we have to prepare to go into that . goods get your perspective on this important story do appreciate that that's the bureau chief of the new york times in beirut thank you well the challenges facing egypt's jon the focus of this piece here at al-jazeera dot com suggesting it's the worst time to be a journalist in egypt's history and human rights work has been talked to for years but its extent and level of brutality specifically to journalists has changed. coming up on facebook live the journey of single mothers risking their lives to care for their kids well coming up a new group will be talking about the effort getting underway to digitise the

language of the road the development that's being hailed as a way of strengthening their identity and culture. as i was getting cold in turkey again this cloud streaming out through egypt and through the levant it's mostly just clouds not bearing any rain when the temperature shows the difference ankara's maxon five degrees where i ask given the direction of the breeze even the clouds twenty three in beirut and you could link the clouds for the caspian to north far north of iran and up towards afghanistan i took my stand give you a little bit of spotty right here and there is nothing much to be honest and still last are we talking about clear blue skies sixteen degrees and tara more clouds now stretched across into iraq but with that breeze direction is will the up in baghdad to about twenty three degrees and anchors much the same about the seven mark they

reach got warmer still so will depend on wind direction and there is now no wind blowing down the gulf so twenty three is a nice sunny temperature in dire hard qatar thirty three in the other side of society a ten degree difference which is not uncommon this is a dry part of the world dropping down to where it is now significantly what has been rain showing itself in this part of africa stance through the finals and maybe than towards south africa those showers haven't shown very much. lightning struck me but a rain but mostly it's a dry picture. witness

documentaries that open your eyes at this time on al-jazeera. with bureaus spanning six continents across the globe. to. al-jazeera has correspondents live in the stories they tell. us about it. al-jazeera fluent in world news.

to get hands on. so i do and let us know what you think about all the stories we're covering a tweet this age english or facebook dot com slash a.j. news grid or indeed what's app us at plus nine seven four five one triple one four nine and jamie's grid is the hash tag. israel has arrested a sixteen year old palestinian girl in a night raid in the occupied west bank the israeli military published these images of the detention saying that she was brought in for questioning and later on tuesday police also detained her mother the arrest happened after this video was posted online on friday it shows i had to mimi the girl who's now under arrest pushing an israeli soldier and the incident reportedly took place after her cousin was shot in the face and critically injured in the past few years ahead as appeared in other videos challenging israeli soldiers while the girl's father says that he's

proud of her i had. a head it's a true representative of her generation so we're very proud of her and her strong personality we're proud that she's openly expressing her rejection to be subservient or submissive to these really a capacious. which is the latest palestinian teenager to be arrested by israeli forces on friday this photograph of a blindfolded palestinian boy being led away by multiple soldiers. also last week this week is led to a lot of debate online it shows israeli soldiers holding detain teenage is in a cage officials have responded saying that the teenagers were held in a corridor near the entrance of a prison well according to defense for children international eleven palestinian children have been held in solitary confinement in israel this year fourteen have been killed in confrontations with security services and around three hundred palestinians under the age of eighteen have been detained this year it's on it's

been a class who's the accountability director with the defense for children palestine joins us now from ramallah what's what's your perception why why israel why does israel feel so threatened by children. we believe the mingle or their burst of the israeli military legal system is to a subclass and control people who are living under occupation the men there are parts of the legal system or the military legal system is not to menton justice because it all thier three other rights would better still mention that and who are arrested and prosecuted in the israeli military legal system exposed to different types of illiterate meant and tortured during the last period we noticed that there is in the temporal but esteem in children who exposed to so critical methods of

pressure and the mental bus of all these forms is to extract a confession from paris to mention them and this confessions that extracted by force will be was by the israeli military legal system as the primary evidence before this system saw we believe that the israeli military legal system is a tool of the patient to suppress people who are living and. and all was all its practices israel justify its in the going to practice says under the pretext of security against you what really made liberty us in our community and we have got a great part of the parcel of the writers want to jump in as i had the story of a hurdle to me that we were talking about the girl who is now under arrest for pushing israeli soldiers in the video she's clearly trying to elicit a response from the israeli soldiers while being filmed. in a sense isn't she playing into israeli hands because she was very likely to be

arrested after actions like that she. we believe that the medrol is to threat people who are living. and to prevent them from that is this to the fullest as in the occupy protesters i think that this incident come after him after the severely injuring of a buddhist in a child for the sim village from. zero. distance and now he is still in the very critical situation so all the situation was bitten and that period and what the is about. to control the through the thought a good thing but. children and exposing them to different types of illiterate meant and left of all right

a great story gee thanks very much indeed for talking to us here on news group i had thanks a lot. this is a story we've covered quite a bit here on the newsgroup the persecution of the ranger and meanwhile well now there's an effort underway to preserve their linguistic heritage such as a digitizing the region alphabet to be used in text messages and e-mails the community didn't have a written script until the one nine hundred eighty s. and they're still not recognized by the government alphabet is being added to an international computing industry standard for digital text and this is a way to preserve an important symbol of written culture and identity all we can speak to rebecca petra susie deputy director with translators without borders joins us now via skype from amsterdam rebecca this sounds like a very exciting project just tell us a little bit more about how it works how it's compiled and how it can be used. i

thank you very much for having me on the program i can comment a bit about why just as a teaching of a language is important we are not actually involved in the effort but the desire to you know code rohingya zubaan which is gone means language in virginia is one that will allow for greater information to be received by the rohingya refugees in bangladesh and that is something that certainly from a communicating communication standpoint we would definitely. encourage rather than of course of the people do not have a written language is easier to say that they do not exist and they didn't have a written language until the you know through the thing. as a body language yes it was an in the one nine hundred eighty s. when it was developed with the intent of making the true language come across in terms of accents in terms of you know the actual words within the

language any time it's codify it into written language that does help a lot and as opposed to using other scripts to try to communicate with writing with a highly illiteracy rate you need to try to encourage the local language script to encourage the education in the mother tongue well that's right because i mean people may be able to speak a bit to be able to write to different thing altogether in teaching that is what's required i guess in many situations. yes and there have been efforts underway for some time within bangladesh to teach writing as a bond to the actual script which is called the honeybee script because the refugees who have been in the boxes bazaar area for many years have had an interest

in learning it so there have been efforts to do so however it wasn't digitized so you were doing that all just by hand and not in a way that you could use technology in use current tools even text messaging any any all kinds of interesting things that you can do once you know quite a language tell us a little bit more about about the the benefits of making the written language accessible to many many ranger in this case. well i mean ultimately we have a desire to increase information that's available to the refugees in bangladesh and if you are able to teach the refugees who are primarily illiterate the language that they speak in written form you can then also provide them all kinds of information in terms of whether it's a post or you know just basic information for health in the language that they

actually understand so for us from a from the standpoint of passing information and communicating with vulnerable populations having a written text is a much as a great improvement rebecca just fascinating talking to you appreciate it very much for becca petrus from the translators without borders thanks a lot and thank you thank you well thousands of indigenous people in southern mexico have been displaced because of a turturro conflict at least eleven people have died of cold and hunger when will republican response now from the state of she up. these are prayers of desperation by so people who have been internally displaced they are the victims of a decades long dispute over land boundaries between the neighboring municipalities of chinelo until she was done father marcello a member of a nearby parish says that in recent months hundreds of families in just a week done have been driven from their homes by armed groups

a dozen houses have been burned and others sprayed by gunfire and they've got me no or no they will walk the road no one can pass that's where the armed groups hide and then they shoot hearing gunshots at night is a form of psychological control these people. a child has died a two year old who fell sick from exposure their grieving parents say they have nowhere left to go. my daughter became sick when we ran through the woods and i fell down i felt helpless my daughter died i feel the pain in my soul. many of the people living outdoors have coughs and colds and although chelsea has done was already one of the poorest places in mexico living under these conditions for almost two months has pushed indigenous communities to the point of exhaustion to make matters worse the main access roads to and from the we've done were cut off and although passage has been restored human rights observers from the government say the situation still demands urgent action in the book is he losing that we are

calling for humanitarian assistance to guarantee food and to lessen the risk to people's integrity and lives. a federal court recently issued a ruling aimed at settling the dispute so its people however see the decision hasn't lessened tensions there are over five thousand people displaced across the mountains of tennessee we've done the men women and children who are staying at this camp are only facing hunger and illness they say they live in a state of terror too afraid to return to their homes. international organizations like unicef have called it an acceptable for children to continue living under such precarious conditions and while the government of chiapas says that aid and security is being provided many here worry the humanitarian crisis will drag on. to mexico. all right still ahead here on the newsgroups and i will be here with this book find out why i. just got i'm getting dragged into yet another doping

scandal let's look at the world with.

you are making very pointed remarks where on line the main us response to drug use and the drug trade over the last fifty years has been the criminal mind or if you join us on sad no evil person just wakes up other than the morning in the second i want to scull the world in darkness and this is

a dialogue and that could be what leading to some of the confusion i like about people saying they don't actually know what's going on join the colobus conversation at this time on al-jazeera. forced to flee from syria to lebanon many refugee mothers risked childbirth in terrible conditions delivery is very difficult here and i've been on it's ghostly i can go back to syria now because of the war but one lebanese woman is committed to helping them. become friends with nothing woman though. she is important to me. there are a few g.'s midwife at this time on al-jazeera world.

market. my thanks for that civil people too little to speak and slow thank you very much while justin gatlin and is making the headlines and trending on social media for all the wrong reasons anti-doping officials and athletics have begun investigation after the u.k. newspaper met allegations about the coach an agent connected to the world champion sprinter while the daily telegraph claimed to his coach dennis mitchell and an

agent connected to him robert wagner offered to supply performance enhancing drugs to undercover reporters sebastian coe president of while the cleric's governing body said these allegations are extremely serious and the independent athletics integrity unit will investigate five year old americans particularly who has served two doping bans that won one hundred meter gold at the world championships and london in all this beating you some bolt his legal representatives had gotten had sacked michel while our sports correspondent wailings is live for us from london elite taken this behind the headlines this is a story that requires cautious will porting doesn't it. you have to be strongly cautious with the story whether you're reporting on it like a whether you're following your own social media have to look behind what's happening here and often with a newspaper investigation you do have to realize that there's going to be a screaming headline and what people want in this instance is the link to justin gatlin he's the star name is the man with the doping past he's not

a popular mind to doping bans when actually when you look into it further what we are dealing with here is no direct accusation against gambling it is against the coach dennis mitchell who is sacked. an agent the partly works with so you can see why i just think got in so quickly distanced himself from this but you can also see why there's so much suspicion around him what is important to remember is that you have to deal with the facts as they're presented and then take your interpretations from that. when you were covering the well championships it back in august you've posted a very interesting tweet and you're fair to it this morning could you tell us more about them. i'm sorry what happened i was inside the stadium just in gallon while it was a huge shock people were simply expecting us and both to win and if what you say they want expecting thirty five year old gatlin to do it and there was an intake of breath there were gasps

a few boos like there being from got laid at the start and i came out and started broadcasting and very quickly when i was broadcasting i saw coach walk past my position the boss of what i thought it's and he looked like he'd seen a ghost and i took my wires off to broadcast where then i chased off the difficult thing of former athlete and i said are you satisfied with that result and he wouldn't speak to me and always spoken to me throughout my career and the reason was this was a terrible result for the reputation of athletics and what really shocked me was a lot of journalists are actually criticizing the crowd for boeing these are people who pipe money to go into the stadium in london and they have every right to boo whoever they want within reason justin gatlin in this instance is a superstar but he made his own bed if you're going to type you're going to have suspicion around you you don't expect people to go into an athletic stadium with a list of people that are the suspected or confirmed as dopers and they choose to bill which one justin gatlin people said was being made

a scapegoat but this is of history and the legacy we see now where actually people are looking to connect him with this there will be suspicion around him i think people need to take a reality check was also crucially dealing with the facts you were talking about how damaged the athletics reputation is can they recover or how are they going to recover from this. they're going to really really struggle to recover son our watch that hundred meters as i say i. you know situation we've gotten crosses the line but we're going to be happy with that we're going to trust what i see i know there was a lot of disappointment that you same boat was built and i get that was the mind that unites the idea but the credibility of art that six is so long and people should not deny that from the top of that it's it's the sun was cyclic it's the same with winter sports small has a massive issue of credibility and trust and incidents like this and investigations

like this are important but people are trying to rebuild it and it's going to be so difficult we went live from london thank you very much for them. while a lot of took to social media expressing their frustration towards the iowa sea for some reason when they took one of the fans has tweeted saying i.o.c. took away medals from at least some banned them for life because of some mythical scratches well they didn't fail the doping test meanwhile gotten perfectly competes after two suspensions well despite the francis forced race and a lot of them have made jokes about this saying that this has to be forgotten just being involved in another doping and though is it surprising has the ending of each scooby doo episode where this has to be my favorite treat actually and finally

damage that man has tweeted from first and now gotten it's like an advent calendar of doping to more expect to read that well those red nose is due to overuse of his asthma inhalers and scientists extraordinary feats of endurance are linked to high . levels. as always don't forget to share your thoughts with us at using the hash tag news grid or tweet me directly at santa school sport i'll be back with more at eight hundred g.m.t. for now it's back to nic so i went. from this newsgroup. that you can get to the bar all these methods back at fifteen hundred g.m.t. .
