11:02 am
civilian deaths in the war the findings also bold accusation is by the u.s. that a rainy and weapons including ballistic missiles have been supplied to who the rebels breaking a u.n. weapons and bargo report further accuses the united arab emirates of running torture camps in yemen where people have been beaten and electrocuted more than ten thousand people have been killed in fighting in airstrikes more than seven million are on the brink of famine al-jazeera is diplomatic editor james bays has more from the united nations. this is a report to the u.n. security council has not been made public it's only been given to the fifteen members of the security council but i've been allowed to read a copy and it's very hard hitting and very critical of all of the parties in the war in yemen it questions whether yemen can continue to be one country it says in the south because of the length of the war and the divisions that have emerged
11:03 am
there is the real possibility of secession into a separate south yemen it says in the south of the country people displaying the flag of the old country of south yemen and are not loyal to president had the although they're formally under his command it says that president heidi has no longer effective command and control of the military and security forces in the south of yemen it says one of the reasons that there is this lack of stability in yemen is actually the forces that have been built up by the saudi led coalition it says that there are proxy units that they have drawn up but it says that these units will do more to further the fragility of yemen then they will do to hold the state together it says they pose a threat to peace and stability in yemen it is also very critical of the coalition for civilian casualties in yemen it says that it appears that the saudi
11:04 am
led coalition has not been following international humanitarian law and it says it's likely that some of those who are responsible for planning and executing airstrikes fall under the designation of the security council as people who should be subject to sanctions again the another damning part of the report is about the u.a.e. part of the coalition in the camps there running inside yemen it says that there has been torture in these camps it talks about beatings electrocution constrain suspension the use of what it. cause the cage which is confinement in a cage in the sunlight and the denial of medical treatment it says working with the government of yemen gives the u.a.e. plausible deniability so it is a possibility are now now given this report by the panel of experts that the security council must consider whether there should be sanctions against members of the coalition and also sanctions against iran because the who these sides are also
11:05 am
criticized it says that there have been military remnants of military equipment and drones that are of iranian origin and were introduced in yemen after the security council adopted an arms embargo. now u.s. president donald trump has extended the landmark iranian nuclear deal but said that this is the last time he'll do so he's warned that america's european allies that he'll withdraw from the twenty fifteen agreement if his demands for changes are not met alan fischer has more from washington d.c. . europe's diplomats met in brussels to urge the u.s. to continue with the iran nuclear deal seeing they believe it improved global security know donald trump has agreed but says he won't do it again in a statement issued from the white house he called on his european allies to negotiate a supplemental deal in the next one hundred twenty days which would place a fresh restrictions on iran saying today i am waving the application of certain
11:06 am
nuclear sanctions but all the in order to secure our european allies agreement to fix the terrible flaws of the iran nuclear deal this is the last chance in the absence of such an agreement the united states will not again we have sanctions in order to stay in the iran nuclear deal and he warned those who for whatever reason choose not to work with us will be siding with the iranian regime's nuclear ambitions and against the people of iran and the peaceful nations of the world under u.s. law the president has to regularly recertify the deal donald trump has repeatedly called the iran deal the watch he's ever seen and pledged to. for he became president to scrap it at the end of last year he won t. was ready to step away iran is not living up to the spirit of the deal but one of the deals architects says the deal is working there is no dispute that iran is living up to its obligations which we negotiated with iran and it's light that we should live up to all because. that does not mean that we shouldn't address
11:07 am
other aspects of iranian behavior which course concern whether it involves aggressive foreign policy program which human rights record trump white house also knows the new round of non-nuclear sanctions targeting groups and individuals it believes have committed human rights abuses and blocked freedom of speech in iran but insists it is outlined to european allies what it wants to see happen but there's no indication the unit peons are ready to renegotiate a deal in the next one hundred twenty days that took years to craft and put in place alan fischer washington. but iran's foreign minister mohammad javid zarif says the deal is not free negotiable on twitter he called trump's announcement a desperate attempt to undermine a solid multilateral agreement. spoke to people on the streets of tehran. nearly two and a half years after the nuclear deal was signed many iranians say they haven't seen any real benefits and that president hassan rouhani promised more than he could
11:08 am
deliver a huge audience but that's at least they did get a house that had no impact at all in my life the price of rice has doubles me sixpence to millions in rent meanwhile the children of official sleep that people don't exist money goes my pockets out of the pocket of the woman selling things on the street which people but some are still willing to stand by their president communism on television is going to rwanda is doing his best of course there are some problems in the country sanctions pressure from abroad naturally impacts livelihoods and the economic situation. but if we just blame the president and say he is the one who has to do something of course he cannot we should stand next to him with him and tolerate the situation the nuclear deal had some success the lifting of sanctions letter. freely on the international market exports are up to more than two million barrels a day but gains have been overshadowed by u.s. president donald trump's aggressive stance towards iran every few months the
11:09 am
iranian nuclear deal was thrown into chaos and managing that political turmoil takes up so much of the iranian government's time that there isn't a lot of room left for public discourse about much else has created so much uncertainty about the nuclear deal that iranians see it's been as harmful as sanctions that the deal was made to lift many people are frustrated that foreign investors are too scared to come to iran and the value of their currency keeps falling. trump is a person who has a psychological problem his opinions have no balance on any issue changing his mind and for me as an iranian and for most iranians it doesn't matter if the us pulls out of the deal as long as european countries cooperate with us we will stay in the deal the zero zero zero summarize don't care about the nuclear deal and say they simply want to get on with their lives. i just want to make people happy and i don't care about anything else making people happy is
11:10 am
a kind of art and i'm not interested in these kinds of nuclear conversations oh oh . oh oh oh oh iran's government says it's ready to deal with it and. so too it seems are its people. well hillary mann leverett is the chief executive officer at strategic political risk consulting firm she says that the us president has new vision for what he was turnit if agreement. we've seen i think a lot of disarray within the minister. ration and in part over the summer even the cia director here michael pompei o. who himself is a staunch iran hawk a real anti iran advocate when he was in the congress even the cia director pompei all had to admit that he had written a letter to a general soleimani the head of the iranian revolutionary guard corps because there is such there is there's such disarray that i think that people in the
11:11 am
administration even those that are viscerally anti iran like the head of the cia understand that they need to do something they can't ignore the fact that iran exists that it's an important power in the middle east whether you like it or not so i think you'll continue to see president trying trying to stumble forward with all sorts of negative blustery rhetoric but then i think you may also see people like the cia director pompei o perhaps even rex tillerson the secretary of state or defense secretary mattis doing some other things to potentially reach out to iran or to at least try to stop the chaos that is caused by by president trans rhetoric . and the conditions of demanding an apology under traction from the u.s. president over his reported use of vulgar language in the only big ration donald trump is a true of used a swear word to describe the countries as well as he to you know so vital for going to buses to the u.n. of issued a joint statement condemning transfer box the african group of a to the united

11:13 am
trump made no apology for his alleged racist comments a day earlier. right in a series of early morning tweets donald trump denied media reports that he had called haiti el salvador and african countries shitholes during a meeting with senators on immigration but he did admit the language used was tough he also denied saying anything derogatory about haitians other than haiti is obviously a very poor and troubled country of my own we're here today standing beside the president in the oval office with dr martin luther king jr's nephew later he told al-jazeera he believes trump has much to learn about tolerance but is not hateful i honestly don't think the president trump is a racist i think he's racially uninformed we've got time to do it democratic
11:14 am
senator dick durbin was at thursday's white house meeting and says trouble made the controversy or comments words he calls vile and racist he said these hateful things that he said there were people. tribes comments have stunned many in the country including the tens of thousands of haitians who came to the united states after the devastating twenty ten earthquake it was kind of disturbing you know it was hurtful to my community. my current members of the president's own republican party have distanced themselves from trump's comments calling them problematic as politicians try to come to an agreement on immigration and funding to avoid an imminent government shutdown i read those comments later last night so first thing that came to my mind was very unfortunate helpful it is incomprehensible that these
11:15 am
words came out of the mouth of the president of the united states of america a country that was founded on. being free from discrimination the calls for the president to apologize for his remarks are intensifying inside and outside the united states but for now it appears that apology is unlikely kimberly helped at al jazeera washington. well still ahead here on al-jazeera the leaders of some of the world's most powerful labor unions have been arrested in argentina we'll examine the allegations also the tank descends on las vegas we check out what's all from the consumer electronics show straight after the break here on auctions that. through tranquil arabian can you. can feel intense and it's in. how i was still got some rather lively showers into central parts of

11:20 am
conditions are really poor right now because. most of the people came here from there. and most of them are place for the. very difficult situation people. on the other hand because they are used to being at this place they just packed up there is. what the people in charge of the camp. i can tell that many people here are actually really poor many many children do not have even. their feet they are walking. barefoot pen there are tents but the hands are not here. two hundred. people

11:24 am
measures and increased taxes officials here say the measures are crucial to eliminate it budget deficit and improve declining revenues from agriculture mining and tourism to his ears vital economic sectors. nobody badly not that we want the government to scrap the tax increases many people are suffering because of the price rises particularly imploring areas like city busied catarina where communities have been grappling with discrimination for decades this is made by the government as against the will of the people. prime minister yousaf has visited some of the areas of the protest has accused the popular front a coalition of leftist opposition parties of inciting unrest but the opposition insists the rallies are legitimate expressions of frustration over a government they say has betrayed its own people. army units have been deployed in
11:25 am
many cities to protect government buildings and prevent it descent into chaos this is a delicate issue for the government if in fact for us all the tax increases the budget deficit will continue to strain the state's finances but if it goes ahead with the austerity measures public anger might lead to further instability. turnus. ah didn't seem as though billions are among the strongest in latin america but their standing has been damaged after several union leaders were arrested for corruption some however believe the arrests are a way for the government to pressure unions to support its policies trees about reports from neighboring europe why. this house in the small city of new y. has raised a lot of questions over the years its size and opulence intrigue people like and on your ts who has been living here for ten years he has just found out that his
