oh i'm so robert you're watching officer like what headquarters here in the hall so coming up in the next thirty minutes an armed group. and i'll just there a crew in syria captures the moment a suspected russian airstrike hits a camp where families are sheltering. fighting in the democratic republic of congo adds to the business really of a country already suffering from a cholera of urgency and a natural disaster we'll hear from our reporting in charter. seven years after the revolution we look at why many to the seals feel their hopes of a better life have been damaged. but welcome to the program a member of the qatari royal family says he's being detained in the united arab emirates share. time he released a video statement saying that if anything were to happen to him cateye is not at fault he's been living in saudi arabia since the blockade by some of qatar's

neighbors began the kingdom the u.a.e. had earlier presented him as a potential alternative to catalyze amir saudi arabia the u.a.e. bihari in egypt all ties with qatar last june accusing its government of supporting terrorism an allegation that doha denies budget sorry is professor of political sociology at qatar university joins me now on the phone from doha this is a significant development in the story of the blockade so far many people who are tuning in to al-jazeera will not know who this man is can we just discuss how important he is in terms of the royal family. i'm going to lead the eyes on the head with a member kindly and hiking member if you will as he calls it a good candle resilin and he had. many contacts within something within the walls

family called only he wanted me to get to before we moved which was completely understandable when he supported the blockade on. the government building the located in the beginning but for a. couple of months you have maybe visible on that location feed media. on. channels like a lot of the examples seen. fit to sit down with the king for example we've seen him with the prince without baby and we've seen him we didn't listen to him because being on the. other has been doing a lot of the want to do with supporting the. position that he disappeared from the couple of ago we could not see him for a while now we have not heard from him for a while in any type of media media on the beginning of the crisis he was circulating that he was. tentative to. me in point of view of the

country when they were pushing for him to be. marketing him as a policeman probably. going to said that did not think i've been kind enough to take it i. am a i'm now a full sixteen guy go ahead and it and get anything he wants he's now detained in the lobby for making him as we said on the. plane for his own safety is afraid that's what happened to previous people who what i came to the other with him that . you thought i'll just give and i'll just cut and. just stop you there before you quote him even more let's actually just listen to what the. shaykh had to say earlier in a message it was recorded on twitter. so look i'm going to the apollo i'm currently

in abu dhabi hours hosted by chef mohammed i'm now confined to my residence i'm not allowed to leave i fear anything may happen to me and tend to blame is put on qatar therefore this is my way to notify you all that in case i suffer any harm qatar cannot be blamed i'm currently hosted by shaikh mohammed and he shall be responsible for anything i may happen to me finally i want to salute the people of qatar the people of the u.a.e. and of saudi arabia and all the people of the gulf thank you well guarded and sorry is a professor at qatar university and still with us on the phone let's talk about the fact that he is being hosted by shaikh mohammed and that the fact that shaikh of dollar did commute between the u.a.e. and saudi what makes him a or what made him a viable candidate to potentially replace the current amir of qatar. well the only thing that. made him actually in that position was his approval of

going into saudi arabia doing it they've been meeting with that company now we have . knowledge about what happened moment back and the frame of how they can actually be circulated i'll be marketed as the men here don't want to have any qualms with them but that isn't exactly going to blow a family that much has gone on for that many people he's not that well known member of our family but if he did he was not and. he did not show any opposition tendencies in the past. there were no. reason for choosing him except for the fact that he was actually there. he was outside the. embassy and he said yes when invited to five years ago the only reason behind him being there going to that size box with i was saying before you in the clip is that this is actually now the way saudi arabia that is the way abu dhabi db with their friends

and for their enemies i mean we've seen what happens when he was flown into egypt and he had actually two published and very similar videos to the ones they don't face we have seen what happened to the climate. levanon who was bespoken detained in saudi arabia and also has to had to speak against his will saying that given time this is not the behavior that we expect to be going to behavior that's international. i mean and i only see it from them and you are just waiting for this development to unfold as he directly how this will affect his own position and the pain of the way if you will suggesting the kids perhaps not being held hostage maybe the cry touched if we can use as you say it is a style that we have seen over the last few weeks with you might even saad hariri the lebanese prime minister that you mentioned but. also the detention of many saudi princes. by the new saudi. apparent bomb of

bin psalm on how do you expect saudi arabia to try and extricate themselves from shaikh abdullah if they wanted to if he is of no use to the money ball and if he is of no use to the u.a.e. who we see of use to well obviously tell us what we can understand from typical thing is that. he himself thinks that it all has and then he himself has to call his wife and he himself think that how to meet him would be a way to implicate come back and then pony's coming out first of all to protect themselves saying that kind of thing should happen but that it should not be plain as as he is under the protection of. the hospitality of the dice and therefore that nobody can return from a couple of anyways even if they wanted to do their children to be ok and therefore he would like to. he actually said this and that because being in

a means to protect himself and to every other now that he thinks that comes then there is no way of using his death so how are you doing any harm that may come to him as a way of indicating and right now he is of no use to these countries because their plans they could face a coup in qatar has failed failed miserably their plan to actually push for an exile a government in exile also failed miserably and that under pressure now from the united states and other countries to not collate this crisis anymore because they are just trying to find a way out in a way always have done it as well just see what does happen certainly what else we can get from the u.n. he had tons of news lines all whether shake up the speech and for the moment amounted island sorry from qatar university thanks for joining us. that's called today's other news now sustained attacks by syrian government forces helped by russian air strikes are continuing against rebel held areas now their push into

italy province is causing a new wave of people to flee the violence about one hundred twenty thousand have been forced from their homes in recent weeks but rather than finding places of century many continue to face danger. no la la la da da da da we know what's more yeah. i know that. you know law. and al jazeera crew shot these pictures while filming a makeshift camp in a deliberate attack happened now they show missile strikes close to civilians including families who fled earlier attacks from nearby hama countryside i was there a correspondent there can be seen among the men women and children desperately trying

to find cover well aid agencies say they're overwhelmed by the scale of need in syria and they've warned that if the bombardment continues a million displaced people will amass near the turkish border said in consumer reports now for more than in syria. up til kerry mohammed lost his home when the syrian government bombed aniston hama in december he arrived in ram a refugee camp in adler province fifteen days ago with his wife and five children the fifteen year old former stays he had a very good business back home but he had to leave it all behind the family went to singe or first taking refuge in a cave but the safety they found there didn't last for long government forces were advancing on the area abdel and his wife shammy ass say they were afraid of being killed and i'm not happy i'm not used to living right this here you don't feel free we are sleeping with our children one we were hiding in a cave with the regime forces advance towards our lads were afraid they would kill

us and left us in the after the bombardment. a lot of people moved to sunder we faced a few bombardments of deisel of the regime started their fight we had to leave again and stay out in the wild sleeping under trees aid organizations came to us to this camp but you see this is not home. was built only a couple of weeks ago and is already full five thousand people are here but still more are arriving every day most of them are poor families from instant how much as the weather gets colder the main fear here is illness hygiene is a major issue so much of the prevention falls on the women here as they are the ones responsible for feeding and cleaning in dire conditions. is the primary needs are tents and things like marshes blankets and carpets also items that are specially needed by children and women you name it people and syrian leaders even

finding a nail clipper is an issue. survival mother cation is the priority here many of these children have been on the run from the bombings for some time some of them haven't been to school in years they're left to think an escape from the fed reality of their homeland people have managed to escape the regime's air strikes and the fight against saw is still they were able to find rafa's here in these camps in northern lead for now they're safe but no one knows what will happen if broader syrians come to the region saying i'm close to a little al-jazeera northern had let. in another rebel held area of the besieged suburb of east and cuter several people are in hospital after a bombing by government forces aid workers at the scene say the victims are being treated for suffocation from what they suspect is chlorine gas still ahead here on

out there and i hope the survivors after a burning rain or tiger stranded in east china sea sick sad story straight right. hello there there's plenty of dry weather to be found across the southeastern parts of china at the moment temperatures are on the rise you can see shanghai there up at fourteen degrees and the winds all feeding up from the south dragging in that slightly milder air form kong will be up around twenty as we head through into chews day here is where we're going to see a little bit more cloud begin to develop that cloud will be squeezing out a few outbreaks of rain but later on tuesday it will begin to fizzle out once more over towards the west and for many of us in india and pakistan is dry and fine at the moment to the far south of india and across the lanka just the outside chance

of one or two showers but i think even here for the majority of us it should be dry the problem across india at the moment is in the north it's to do with the quality new delhi they're getting to around twenty or twenty one degrees but the visibility will be quite low here in doha is pretty warm as we head through into monday twenty six degrees will be our maximum temperature will also be quite hazy though as the winds pick up or it will be a lot clearer a force on tuesday twenty three degrees at the temperatures dropping and it will be quite a blustery day elsewhere muscat twenty four degrees of fine sunshine here and for solar it's warmer here we're twenty eight. news has never been more available it's a constant barrage that they're putting out every day but the message is a simplistic you have been brain that good logical rational person crazy monster and misinformation is rife dismissal and denial of well documented accusations and

evidence is part of genocide the listening post provides a critical counterpoint challenging mainstream media narratives at this time on al-jazeera. with about two of us arrives a whole rather wide of our top stories above the qatari royal family says that he's been detained in the united arab emirates. tanuja released a video statement saying that if anything were to happen to him qatar is not at fault the kingdom the u.a.e. had earlier presented him as a potential target of to qatar samir after the gulf diplomatic crisis began in june

. also sustained offensives by government forces aided by russian airstrikes a continual bubble held areas in syria these dramatic pictures were captured by an al-jazeera team with a make shift camp was attacked. people in the democratic republic of congo are facing three separate crises at the moment there's a military operation against an aa group accused of killing peacekeepers of widespread flooding has destroyed many homes during a major cholera outbreak catherine sort of ports from the capital kinshasa. it's hard to imagine just a week ago holmes a stude here this is a neighborhood on the outskirts of kinshasa when floodwaters came crashing down from a nearby river many people didn't even have a chance to rescue their loved ones and belongings. this month salicylates

shows me what you mains of the two bedroom house he shared with his wife and three children he says he knows if you take his family to higher safer ground but they're still here despite the obvious danger. i am afraid because he still leaning but i don't have any money to move them we've got no help from anyone moving from here means lending the house. but the rains are expected to continue for the next three months and this means more trouble for a country that is facing a cholera outbreak the worst in two decades about a thousand people have died since last year more than fifty thousand from across the country have so far been affected the government has declared cholera a national emergency and set up treatment centers the government has set up this facility here in the most affected area in the city we're not allowed to go to the wards where the patients are because of the nature of the disease since november at

least thirty people mostly children have died in kinshasa alone. cholera is highly infectious also easy to treat if detected early but with a poor health system and financial problems doctors are overwhelmed. a government international appeal for eight million dollars has not helped less than two million has been raised and first. on the a few countries in africa can deal with this situation make a deal by themselves this is why the government launched an appeal for help in november and declared a national disaster so here health is focus on prevention talking to anyone they can about the importance of good hygiene and visiting centers like this one ali enough. they are preparing themselves for more difficult times ahead in this rainy

season catherine sewing al jazeera kinshasa now the boss of the french dairy company alike teles has revealed the extent of a global sell the scandal after the firm was accused of trying to cover up the outbreak in a rare media interview about her best years says the it affects at least eighty three countries where about twelve million boxes of powdered baby milk are being recalled now lawsuits are being filed against the company by families who say their children suffered salmonella poisoning after drinking the milk at least thirty are known to have fallen ill in france and want it spayed like tell us all so exporters products to countries across europe africa and asia latasha butler has more from paris. well there's been a growing sense of anger among the families whose children have been affected by this contaminated milk a sense that perhaps lacked alyssa's french milk firm just hasn't been transparent enough about what has been happening in that perhaps they were even trying to hide or cover up some of the facts and once contributed to that as well is the fact that

the c.e.o. of the company has not responded until now emmanuel benyon has now given an interview to the demarche a french newspaper here and in that interview he denies trying to cover up anything he says that a large investigation has been launched in the company and that all the families will be compensated but there's no doubt there's been a lot of pressure on lightness over the past few weeks and the french government is now you saying that they are considering penalties against it and we're talking about a situation a scandal that was thought to just affect france but now it's much bigger than that more than eighty countries around the world have been affected there is contaminated milk possibly in some of those countries and also talk about twelve million boxes of this product having to be recalled by like tillis. the really good that's been burning in the east china sea since last week has sunk the tanker was carrying nearly one million barrels of all when it collided with a cargo ship trying to correspond brown has more from beijing. well according to

chinese state controlled television the senshi sank at around noon local time on sunday before it went down there was a large explosion and also a large plume of smoke more than a thousand meters high these pictures were recorded by china's coast guard now the senshi was involved in a collision with a hong kong registered freighter the crew of that freighter all survived all twenty one crew members sadly the crew of the century were less fortunate so far only three bodies have been recovered the senshi was carrying a cargo of one hundred thirty six thousand tons of ultra light crude oil known as condensate what concerns groups like greenpeace is how much of that crude could potentially leak over the coming days weeks or months we know that some of the oil has been burned off but not all of it now this vessel has gone down in waters that

are part of japan's economic zone so presumably japanese authorities will now be investigating to see how much of their waters have now been contaminated because of course fishermen in that area depend on those waters for their livelihood plainer skidded off the runway at an airport in turkey ending up teetering on the edge of a cliff and this turned out there. was an incredibly there were no serious injuries of of the one hundred sixty two passengers on board the pegasus airlines flight the boeing seven three seven jet came just within three meters of the shoreline in tribes on in the north eastern part of the country authorities are trying to work out what caused the accident. now thousands of people on the streets of the tunisian capital to mark seven years since the revolution that sparked the arab spring. many of the issues which brought people to the streets back when there are still

causing problems today well the government's promise more cisterns for poor families suffering from tax increases and price hikes after days of recent protests let's go live to our correspondent hashim harborough who's in tunis you've been following the mood of the people there as they commemorate seven years of a revolution is it joy or anger how should. so head it was interesting to see paris with it with children converging here on the how people gave us which was the focal point of the two thousand and eleven. uprising against the for president i would put out a family they're saying basically this is a moment of national pride they want their children to remember those who were killed in two thousand and eleven and. again this was across the room i wanted to build a genuine democracy that good turn into a prosperous tennessee however when you talk to people about the legacy of the two thousand and eleven revolution they would basically tell you different straighted

over their government and the broken promises the promises to cut unemployment and poverty and turned this into some sort of paradise in northern africa so mixed reaction is mixed feelings here on one hand the need to respect those who lost their lives in two thousand and eleven but at the same time the simmering distant turns and frustration over the track record of that is in governments that took over sister thousand and eleven now my colleagues have been jailed with has a look into the most important events that martin is your sister thousand and eleven. i was this was the two new zealand capital seven years ago when protesters made history. with simple demands and joblessness and improved prospects for young people the spark to regional arab spring uprising. the british fear and ended the rule of physicians in a lab a demon ali who had been accused of corruption and rights abuse but also began an

era of political uncertainty. stag then i'm not prepared to be the person who takes decision this which result in the loss of life. and the conservative islamic party banned by ben ali was on its way to win elections. we have seen the popularity of that in that the house around the country. and after the turbulent nine months the ushered in a democratically elected government in october two thousand and eleven. there were more demonstrations a year later despite a ban on protests and the challenge for tunisia is security and law and order especially on its borders but then geria and libya. three years after the revolution demonstrators took to the streets against economic hardship a new technocrat government was still failing to improve living conditions in two thousand and fourteen. but the new zealand's did get a new constitution hailed as an important step towards full democracy. the two

thousand and fourteen elections brought power to the secular new that tunis party which later formed a coalition government but the conservative in the party but the security situation failed to improve. the lives of twenty two people including twenty one foreign tourists were killed when a gunman opened fire at a museum in the capital tunis. in june thirty nine people nearly all of them foreign tourists were killed in a gun attack on a five star hotel in seuss' than easiest tourism industry has struggled to recover since then people were out on the streets once again now they didn't feel safe and also had no jobs in two thousand and sixteen tenn a build a two hundred kilometer barrier along its border with libya to try and keep out fighters and refugees but in march fifty five people were killed when dozens of fine to storm through the town of been going down near the libyan border attacking army and police posts last may president the sipsey ordered the army to protect oil

facilities in the south after protests planned to destroy production. and if he has made major advancements in achieving democracy in improving its institutions but on the streets the economic hardships which sparked the protests seven years still continue. and job aid are there. well the government says it's going to try and take new measures in its stride to try and alleviate the tension and the stress that certainly the poor are feeling at the moment i mean do you think those measures are going to work. but basically so has the government saying is go into now out of kate more than twenty five billion dollars a year to help the poor by either ways to be seen how this is going to trickle down to those mostly affected we're talking about unemployment which stands at more than seven percent and also poverty that's i guess more than eight percent of the

population so the biggest problem that is you're facing is basically poverty and unemployment this government is saying that basically there's absolutely no way it's going spends more because the revenues have been shrinking over the last few years so in needs to implement austerity measures in also in needs to start reforming the public sector there is a walk force of about eight hundred thousand in the government employees that bite into twelve percent of the g.d.p. of tunisia so this is a huge amount of cash we really create a massive budget deficit the government says that the only way out is to slash the . government or the public workforce if you do that if you do it off people very going to get more discontent the biggest challenge facing this government is the need to balance the finest piece one hand but of the same time to allay the concerns of the team is yes how are they going to do it i can't see any way out in

the near future are less the revenues of the tunisian government increased dramatically over the coming years what will continue to follow events for the through the day for the moment how should thank you. well yemeni women have gathered in sanaa to demand the armed group who three rebels released the body of the former alstad president ali abdullah salah local reports say that who these attacked the protesters which led to six women being rude to the line abducted son i was killed by the rebels last month after the switch sides and backed the saudi led coalition in this battle against them. you're watching all this there are a whole robin these are all top stories a member of the qatari royal family says that he's been detained in the united arab emirates shaikh of the time he released a video statement saying that if anything were to happen to him qatar is not at
