report that conical the extent of human rights violations and documents possible war crimes in yemen the findings presented to the security council a shop be critical of saudi that coalition as strikes which of course the majority of civilian deaths in the war the report also bolsters accusations by the us that iranian weapons have been supplied to the rebels which breaks a u.n. embargo the united arab emirates is accused of running torture camps in yemen where people have allegedly been beaten and electrocuted their report paints a devastating picture of a conflict which has left more than ten thousand people dead and led to widespread famine and displacement of diplomatic editor james bass who saw this report has more. this report which hasn't been made public but which i have read will be very tough reading for the fifteen members of the u.n. security council is critical of all sides in the war in yemen critical of the saudi led coalition for civilian casualties it says that some of those who planned and

executed airstrikes which have ended up targeting civilians might be subject to sanctions that some of the security council will have to decide on it says that one of the countries involved in that coalition of the u.a.e. has been responsible for torture in yemen it talks about beatings electrocution constrained suspension the use of what it calls the cage confinement in a cage in the sunlight and the denial of medical treatment criticism too though for the who theories and for iran it says that there appears to be evidence that military equipment and drones have actually been transferred from iran to the who theses again that could be a breach of u.n. resolutions. we spoke to adam baron who is a visiting fellow at the airplane council on foreign relations in tell us it's unlikely the u.n. or pole be followed up by any diplomatic action on yemen these were crime

allegations have been going around and been voiced by a number of u.n. officials for some time don't get me wrong i think this is very important that these things are being documented if not you know perhaps for immediate action for the sake of the future and for it to be recorded in history but i think in a lot of ways unfortunately and particularly with. i would say the lack of u.s. leadership in the region at this point it's really hard to imagine there being sustained diplomatic action on yemen at this point despite the i would say severity of the allegations that we're seeing in this report and the deep severity of the situation in yemen right now. when you look at it it's easy for them to for people to kind of deflect and that goes not just for the states that are involved in this conflict with the risk taking saudi arabia whoever it on. but this is also in terms of internal parties and you've seen i guarantee you that you will have significant reporting on this document by media aligned with all of the key working parties

that being said which are going to see is you know when say the who fees and they're allied media are talking about this report they leave out all of the stuff criticizing the hoodies and when you see you know. media aligned with some of the coalition member states they'll completely report on the allegations against the who it is and the documented uses by the these but will leave out other things so i think that's kind of an in issue at this point is there is this climate really of of impunity in the conflict in yemen and when you have all sides really committing these kind of violations it makes it even harder to really hold anybody to accounts unfortunately this just underlines the extent that this conflict continues to be just a horrific tragedy for the yemeni people who while the leaders are largely crying rich off this war continue to suffer the world's worst humanitarian crisis. well dozens of pro who see women have demonstrated in an honor to protest in yemen's capital sana this leaders called on female supporters to hold the rally is

a show of support against the sound of that coalition the protesters said they are committed to finding a solution to the crisis and they would support yemen's army and missile force and you know i mean as you know what and we came out today to prove to the saudi led coalition that our men and women are capable of facing them for a thousand years not only a thousand. little we want to show the arab world that we're up to the task and the women will stand by the men. as ready forces a fight against some palestinians protesting against the detention of a teenage palestinian activist. the. supporters of i had to mimi have been marching in the occupied west bank demanding her release she was detained last month when a video of her slapping israeli soldiers went viral a sixteen year old is change her pair in court on monday she could face jail time if she's convicted of the charges and non-con was out the protest. protesters

gathering outside of the house of i had to mimi and there's really two messages that they want to impart the first is to the palestinian leadership they want determined nonviolent resistance movement the other of course is to the israelis that i mean the family now we saw like this whole area will not be bowed will not be broken and that they should release both the mother and i had to be me as soon as they can now this is a head of a court appearance taking place. on monday now we've been speaking to palestinians here this is what they've had to say still no message today is really liked we government. united behind i'm behind her passion behind her resistance we are all here. from all over i was going to include more people to this program i have is not alone to me family is not alone not be solid is not alone in the other hand we ask our friends all over the world to show a bitter sort of duty and to start really we can create action to isolate israel

and increase the cost of accumulation on those leaders and the kids to eat i want to tell the israelis we as palestinian people and palestinian children we will continue to defend palestine we will get x. a mosque in jerusalem back and we will make jerusalem the eternal capital for palestine. israel started firing tear gas canisters into the crowd to push them back. now this was a peaceful protest the protesters are now very angry and the israeli army are using as much as they can to push them back. the artist who created one of the most iconic depictions of che guevara has also now produced a likeness of teenage palestinian activist i had to meany. when jim fitzpatrick betrays her as wonder woman the character currently played by israeli actress gal gadot syrian government forces have made significant gains in the southern

to try and sell the stuff i suppose is. in the new president's vision is to rebuild and renew the party of nelson mandela to use new policies including changing the constitution to allow the government to take mostly white owned land without compensation and free education for poor students to realize the hopes and aspirations of millions of people the song set a celebration. welcoming so obama pours right on him to take his place to build unity and. there is a overriding. but after the party speculation is rife that they could be a push within the a.n.c. as top structures to force president zuma out of office before his term is up next year that for there to be real change zuma has to go tanya page al-jazeera

could be used to make weapons and. model for life and it is known all over the world that at least some of the rubbish should be recycled but in gaza we cannot recycle anything we don't have any factories that could reuse the plastic or steel so the only way to deal with it is to dump it here but with more than forty percent unemployment there's a living to be made here to these men search for whatever they can sell none of them agreed to an interview they told us they're ashamed to be seen here. the city produces nearly two thousand tons of waste every day the site will be full in about two years and as long as the seed lasts dumbs and its rubbish problem only get bigger malcolm webb al-jazeera in the gaza strip. much want to convert comfy on the knees out still there a poll on the slew of corruption scandals tainting argentina's power for labor unions power rally racism burning through some approved most mysterious heritage

welcome back you're watching the news out an update of the stories at the top stories this hour an unpublished u.n. report seen by al jazeera has chronicled extensive human rights violations in the war in yemen a paper documents massive alien casualties due to a saudi led coalition airstrikes as well as backing up accusations that iran is funneling weapons into the country. is ready forces a five ten gas of palestinians protesting against the detention of a teenage palestinian activist supporters of i had to mean we have been marching in the occupied west bank demanding release. the new head of south africa's ruling african national congress is about to crack down on corruption and restore nelson mandela's mission so around the post i was speaking at the party's anniversary events. all mourn our top story now that u.n.

report on yemen. is a senior consulting fellow with the middle east and north africa program at chatham house he joins us live from new york thanks very much for speaking to us this report reiterates the concerns and the rights abuses which we've heard before but which are no less important now all the human rights violations getting worse in yemen. or not not sure that necessarily things are getting worse in so far as we're becoming more aware of them and when i say say we what i mean is that the body of evidence which the u.n. in particular has access to is reaching a point where the evidence is overwhelming that all of the groups all of the parties to this conflict to this this war or probably it seems highly likely engaging in some form of violation of international humanitarian law and in terms of the the body of evidence they've built up all parties that the report is

critical of all sides in the war has anything new come to light in terms of the you ease activities because it details torture taking place or indeed the extent of iran's involvement. well again these are things that we've seen reported since at least twenty twenty sixteen since the beginning of the war you've seen the coalition the saudi led coalition saying iran is involved in the yemen conflict and using this is a justification for its part in the war on accusing iran of helping the who fees with the ballistic missile campaign since the u.a.e. helped take over large parts of the south of yemen and pushed the who these out we've seen accusations of extrajudicial detention of torture of all these other issues so again these aren't new accusations what we're seeing is flesh being put

on to the bones of these these accusations we're seeing evidence coming out and we're seeing the u.n. panel of experts apparently because i'm yet to see the full report. really building up this case that most people who've been watching yemen since the beginning of the war have been making which is that everybody involved has been violating international law in terms of yemen's long term future you mentioned they're the people of southern yemen and they have historically always had their own aspirations will the length of this war make fragmentation of the country more likely because you've spoken you've written about the fact that yemen is not so much a single entity as it is a series of many states now. yeah that's quite right people keep asking this question will the war lead to fragmentation and the correct answer and we just put out a very big report on this for chatham house we put out an interactive digital map

which i encourage people who are interested to take a look at online on the chatham house website but yemen has fragmented into different many states there are different areas of control of governance so on so forth and that goes beyond just divisions between areas controlled by the who thiis and areas controlled by others there are deep divisions in the quote unquote government controlled areas of the country to the extent that different groups can travel between different areas of the country particularly military groups and as those territorial diversions that you describe become more entrenched how much more difficult is it going to be then to bring an end to the war because presumably then it's less and less in the interests of the warring parties to reach a negotiated settlement. absolutely and the issue that we have right now if we have is we have a un the peace process which is really fixed focused on the idea of a single conflict

a binary conflict between the who these formally the who the solid alliance on one side and the government of yemen backed by saudi arabia on the other and when in reality what you have is multiple interlinked sort of overlapping conflicts going on and rivalries going on so that if a peace deal is reached simply between the hoof is on the one hand and the government of yemen on the other hand that means that you're excluding a lot of different groups who are very involved in the conflict who have control over different areas and that in turn creates incentives for them to generate new conflicts again in the future so we might see the big war the big conflict that we're looking at from the other side and being descend into a series of smaller conflicts for regional autonomy thank you very much peter soulsby appreciate your analysis thanks a pakistani official says a serial killer may be behind the rape and murder of

the amount of money and i believe that maybe it was money laundering but he was good with the community and it was none of our business the owner of the land this matter. the leader of an important labor union in neighboring argentina he was arrested here last week and is awaiting extradition to his home country police say they found at least five hundred thousand dollars in cash and weapons they also ceased luxury cars like mercedes and ferraris worth at least two million dollars. not a fellow out of fear owns at least properties in order why this one specifically wholesale had a private so with exotic animals this place was raided by the police at the request of an argentinean charge that is investigating him for money laundering and corruption because his lifestyle is not compatible with his income as a labor union leader well see that he's not alone lever union leaders are being

investigated and detained in argentina most of them are accused of corruption many in argentina are shocked by the amount of money seized by the police in different operations. argentine society is demanding that the leadership be less corrupt and the justice system is reacting we asked people in a poll which would defines labor unions most of them assert corruption since the government of president one played on and he's charismatic wife. labor unions in argentina have had a crucial role in defending workers' rights. precedent says argentina needs to change and he's planning to push for labor reform but union leaders will render the latest arrests are a way of pressuring unions to support the government's plans. if the risk irruption then it should be investigated a new leader should emerge but there are many that are not corrupt i will continue

pushing the government in the poll says it wants to impose that i believe would hurt many of the cheap mints workers of going into argentina as labor unions are among the strongest in latin america but corruption has tainted their image their capacity to tackle this problem will likely decide if they have what it takes to look after the people they represent. as. your ally. well in peru paleontologists and archaeologists have warned that the dakar rally poses a serious risk to some of the wild most mysterious manmade creations they say the vast ancient drawings a numerous fossil deposits could date millions of years on a sanchez has traveled to the desert in southern peru to find out more. this is the world's epicenter of geo glyphs animal or geometrical sand and stone figures in a medic drawings on the desert floor in southern experts say there are solar and

a distance of more than two thousand kilometers sport now with peta. there i am thank you so much in the next half an hour morocco will kickoff against mauritania to get the fifth edition of the african nations championship underway in casablanca it's the biggest tournament on the continent for homegrown talent let's go straight to talk to our reporters sunnah so good to have you with us why is hosting this event such a big deal for morocco. why i have to tell you that today is a big day for barack or obviously the city of lanka this is the day they saw the return of african football to the nation of course if you remember morocco hasn't hosted senior competitions senior continental competition says nine hundred eighty eight that's about three decades the last time they the last time they hosted this

important but then again the african nations cup is very close to the hearts of the fans around here and for one reason is because of the players they're playing in there domestically so they get to be closer to the place i don't know if you remember in two thousand and fourteen when libya as we know that it's a it's a war torn country when they won the championship in two thousand and fourteen there was a kit you can only imagine the joy in their country and the joy in their home fans so it's very special for the players and of course for the fans as well all right so no we're going to leave it there thank you very much good to talk to you and i'm sure we'll hear from you again later on in casablanca as the african nations championship prepares to kick off in casablanca the host nation morocco up against mauritania we're going to stay with african football with cameroon asserts a host the continent's biggest tournament next year the africa cup of nations but there are severe doubts that it will be or not or will not be really somatic reports. cameron's hopes of staging africa's biggest football tournament are on the

last year's women's afcon which cameroon hosted can't present a commitment said cameron isn't tricky to welcome even four teams. algeria and morocco have already signaled their intent to be replacements and the inspectors returning stadiums until january twenty first it's now up to cameron to show what their bid is made of so he'll malik al-jazeera let's move from africa to europe and the english premier league where it was a frustrating afternoon for currently champions chelsea who were held to a draw at home by leicester city chelsea were hoping to win in order to at least go second in the overall standings and close the gap somewhat on runaway league leaders manchester city but leicester who won the league two seasons ago held their owners had finished on his even at stamford bridge. elsewhere there were wins for crystal palace and west ham those two have moved towards the middle of the standings west brom won in the league for the first time since appointing alan pardew whose old club newcastle played out
