4:07 pm
of a sudden another man comes across you asking you for some spare money to buy food for his kids and you feel confused whether to cry for your bad situation or for his worse situation. critics of the united nations and aid agencies say the world either doesn't care or just pays lip service while bombs continue to fall then is leaving over four hundred thousand people who live or living there even them to free to face their fate by shelling by starvation. even in areas where fighting has finished such as isis mines in what was the fight to self declared capital continue to kill and maim as well as unexploded bombs dropped by u.s. and coalition aircraft the group doctors without borders is calling on all warring parties and their allies as well as demining organizations and donors to increase mine clearance in russia and its suburbs and to help inform people of the risks to protect them from avoidable deaths and injuries. and that suffering is being

4:09 pm
skype from geneva not a good to have you with us what difference to the business of getting aid into yemen will these four cranes at her data make the make a huge difference is there anybody can use when they need by far the last one hundred men they want to make it doesn't matter if what used to come in you know as i'm looking in the majority of human relations though if you need think go back normal maybe your friends own. the director of not even home one yet. not the normal again you know the saudi led coalition said some time ago that it was allowing more aid into the country what is the situation on the ground are people getting access to the aid that they need. when ags got me into the country even though not us weekly us will be needed there are long queues for example that what aid but the problem is that you really do need is not enough
4:10 pm
this is a country of twenty seven million people so many different agencies. and who would end medicine for the whole country what we need is for commercial flights to grammy and the leverage of those inside insufficient what about the fight against disease the cholera epidemic that the concerns over diptheria which would seem to be getting worse is there any light on the horizon as far as that's concerned well actually we are extremely concerned and if you enter as you know he's going to break that. all over one million yemenis in nine months is not quite over yet you can do it we could be creeping back as well mentioning just yet has it close to six hundred cases and then it you that you know why did you get well because children are not getting vaccinated so we are very concerned because you
4:11 pm
have gone and yet most earth health structures and hospitals are not bugs and the doctors and nurses have not been been already in months there is not enough men and then yet a hundred other population that meet our children and elderly and mothers well enough problems there the even extremely problem. believe me when you are all of the action and if kids aren't getting vaccinated so there's not just diptheria things like measles mumps rubella meningitis. absolutely and that's the nation has bought. late yet but it has been you've got in the meantime and of course the coverage of the vision now when it comes yes there is you know. one way to go but the new pope going to go. in under good to talk to you many thanks dee for being with us you learned from the
4:12 pm
i.c.r.c. . bangladesh says that around seven hundred fifty thousand raw hinge refugees will be repatriated to neighboring miramar within two years the bangladeshi government says the deal was settled on this week but there's no official word yet from me and ma no confirmation of when the refugees will begin to go home the hinges are living in squalid overcrowded camps in bangladesh after fleeing ethnic violence and me in ma the un's reminding both countries that the must go home voluntarily with safety and should more now from scott high blood in bangkok. after two days of talks in naples or myanmar's capital officials from bangladesh and myanmar have started to talk about the implementation of agreement they reach those two nations on the repatriation of those more than six hundred fifty thousand refugees who fled from rakhine state over into bangladesh now they say that within two years they want all of the refugees to have returned to
4:13 pm
a kind state now there are discussions over the two days of exactly how to implement that one is coming from myanmar side they are saying they have announced that they have to rate repatriation centers that they are constructing in rakhine state one is ready and will be online next tuesday they say to receive at least one hundred fifty refugees per day nothing really coming from the bangladesh side is how that's going to be implemented but myanmar officials saying they're going to be ready starting next week now the united nations has come in and said that they're concerned about the repatriation process they say it needs to be verified that those repatriations are voluntary it's very important for that because of obviously the horrors that these people fled they said they fled back last year that they need to make sure it's a safe environment for them to go back into so it will be a slow process at the beginning but both nations myanmar and bangladesh saying that that's going to start to go online very soon the president of france says that he'll never allow another migrant camp to spring up in the northern port city of
4:14 pm
cali emmanuelle mccrone visit is a migrant center before traveling to cali that's where the so-called jungle camp was used by thousands of migrants until it was torn down and twenty sixteen they'd amassed that try their luck making it across the english channel on trucks bound for the u.k. a crony is currently pushing ahead with immigration reforms and will discuss border security with britain's prime minister's reason may play to this week that's come live now to kelly and a serious potential butler is there so how significant is it the this visit to cali by the president comes just two days before he's due to meet with britain's prime minister. it was very significant and he brought it up himself a man was just speaking to police officers here in cali and he said he had come to show solidarity with the city and also to bring a message from kelly to the british prime minister when he needs to resume a on thursday and more demand on my call is really looking for is some sort of new
4:15 pm
deal on color he wants the u.k. to do more to help with security here and to take in more asylum seekers is specially children because you're talking about a city where many people feel simply fed up that they have had to deal with so many refugees on their doorstep because the refugees they say of course don't want to be here in cali they don't want to be in france they are only there because they are trying to get across the english channel and reach the united kingdom so it should be a u.k. problem when you talk to people here in cali many of them will tell you that they would really like to see the end of the u.k. border which was established here after two thousand and three after a deal between france and the u.k. they want that border scrapped they say should go back to the u.k. and that it should be the british the deal with their own refugee problem so people there are set up what sort of reception is mark on got.
4:16 pm
well it's interesting to note that of course this region and this town voted very much for the far right marine le pen in the in the last general election this is a place where many people feel that the government simply hasn't listened to them so it wasn't ever going to be an easy visit for him at all mark or now he has met with refugees he has met with police and he will meet with local politicians later but nearly everybody has something to say to him the charities feel that not enough is being done to look after the refugees and the police feel they are overwhelmed and fed up we just heard from a lot on my own self that more than one hundred fifty thousand attempts were made by refugees to get on lorries all trains to come. over into person on the public feel that the city's image has just been tarnished over the past few years so this is not an easy visit but there are all those of course who do appreciate that the president will bring their concerns to the british prime minister. many thanks. to their live in cali here with the news out still to come on the program foreign
4:17 pm
ministers from twenty countries gathered to discuss north korea but china isn't in vises plus. here in rural kentucky far away from the big cities many people still support president donald trump we came here to find out why i gave rose dando that story. and olympic gymnastics champion simone bile says that she was a victim of sexual abuse by the usa team's doctor more on that coming up a little later in sports. it's a move that threatens to offend nearly a quarter of a century of formal relations between israel and palestinians the palestinian liberation organization second highest decision making body once the p.l.o. to suspend its recognition of israel. and run com reports now from the occupied
4:18 pm
west bank. late on monday night the palestinian leadership issued a statement that could have far reaching consequences for the peace process the statement includes the call to suspend recognition of israel suspend security coordination with it and unite the palestinian factions through reconciliation the statement comes from the central council of the p.l.o. after two days of meetings it will be discussed further by the p.l.o. executive committee and it's up to that committee to implement most policy at some point in the future. the statement also said that the u.s. is no longer a partner for peace and that the palestinians want international involvement but given that the us is perhaps the only country that can put pressure on israel will this work. we have to utilize different forms or back on to believe it has to know that this occupation this form of brutal colonialism can no longer be accepted and therefore we have to go to the international criminal court we have to go to
4:19 pm
international court of justice we have to join an organization. accede to charters and conventions that would protect us on the one hand count the u.s. president donald trump has said he will cut u.s. aid to the palestinians if that happens there will be an economic impact this factory produces extractable it leave tablets and he's part of a multi-million dollar project to encourage enterprise in jericho the occupied west bank the factory was set up in this industrial zone with japanese investment without it it wouldn't have been successful for the operations manager here it shows that there are alternatives to the u.s. for example the ship any. interest in helping. me there is a chance once it's completed at this japanese funded industrial zone will house around five thousand workers and that's going to have a positive impact not just a locally but across the palestinian territories now if you speak to palestinians
4:20 pm
what will tell you is oftentimes foreign aid unlike u.s. aid comes without strings and preconditions. but it's not just economics politics also plays a key role according to one analyst palestinian president mahmoud abbas has options trying to tell the international community that i will be going to the united nations. and he's trying to say that i will have i will be patient i will stop. looking for. solutions if you are not ready for it. despite palestinian confidence that there is no alternative to u.s. involvement in the peace process how the international community will react is key at some point the israelis and the palestinians will need some sort of framework for talks without the u.s. while that will look like is currently on line imraan khan al-jazeera occupied west bank if you know from gil hofmann the chief correspondent at the jerusalem post who
4:21 pm
says that palestinians will only hurt themselves if they go ahead with their plans . that security cooperation that there's been with israel since the mid one nine hundred ninety s. results in there being order in the west bank results in palestinians being able to work in live their lives with the israeli security forces and the palestinian security security forces working together cooperating and protecting them and the palestine liberation organization as it is that wants to wipe israel off the map deciding that it won't cooperate with israel anymore doesn't hurt israel in any way it only hurts its own people the israeli government is being welcomed all around the world right now and it's now is an india has been six continents any attempt to isolate israel has failed pathetically and when the nets now goes around and meets with these world leaders they only bring up the palestinians for about thirty seconds and then change the subject to things that they care about more so i think the palestinians need to not be running away from the table they need to be running
4:22 pm
to the table ok let's bring in out a serious moment bashara put senior political analyst he's live with us in london what do you make of that the palestinians are going to hurt themselves if they suspend recognition of israel. or yeah that does make sense if you consider that occupation is an acceptable order because as the right wing israeli journalist just said that it is a normal situation here i was actually asking the president don't normalize their own occupation by israel after fifty years of more of the same adding to it some six hundred thousand illegal jewish settler so from a colonial perspective it makes sense for the colonialized to cooperate in security terms. for the colonialized it makes very little sense to continue to cooperate if
4:23 pm
there is no. hole risin if you were if agreements are not implemented if promises are not fulfilled and what the palestinians have noticed especially after the recent american declaration on jerusalem that twenty five years of promises twenty five years of agreements especially seven interim agreements have led to more of the same occupation more of the same repression more of the same refuge and hence when the palestinian take a position that is kind of courageous i would say not to say reckless but courageous and would confront their occupier they're not taking it lightly they might hurt themselves in the process in the intermediate run but it seems there is no other option but to confront israel one of the things that that killed off and went on to say we didn't see it there but but he went on to say it in that interview was that the reason for this lack of a horizon as you call it is purely down to the p.l.o.
4:24 pm
and that they haven't come for having a proactive enough that the palestinians should be looking to change their leadership and then maybe there would be this this horizon that you speak of. just exactly and that's what they said and the one nine hundred ninety s. and after the camp david accord the camp david summit failed in two thousand they said the problem was but a sunni leadership and so they did everything possible with the help of the united states to unseat yasser arafat then chairman of the p.l.o. in order to bring their favorite person ever. president mahmoud abbas who became prime minister and then became president but when they faced. a bus with the same dilemma meaning can we have independence can we have a deal occupation of palestine can palestinian people be people be free and they said no then president abbas became the unacceptable leader and hence the israelis are demanding for yet another by the syrian leader really the problem in israel
4:25 pm
palestine is not the absence of a mandela because already the palestinian people and the palestinian leadership have accepted israel within the one thousand nine hundred seven borders have accepted its right to exist have recognized it and in fact have committed to live in normalized peace with israel and committed to help israel normalize peace with all arab and muslim nations if israel does withdraw from all occupied territories and resolve the palestinian refugee issue fairly and yet these really do not come through why it's because israel does not have a do cleric israel does not have a leader certainly not in it and you know or any of his lieutenants willing to accept israel saudi willing to accept an independent palestinian state and to freeze the settlements and to live in peace with palestinians on equal footing so
4:26 pm
if you hear from mr hoffman i think that's his name from israel you'll probably hear more of the same colonial perspective if you hear from the palestinians you will hear more of the same colonialized perspective but really in the end of the day after twenty five years of failures the international community needs to step in because it is responsible for the kinds of occupation that went on for fifty years and hence is solution is to be forthcoming when the sponsor of the talks meaning the united states not only fails miserably in fifty five years but also commits to support israel in its core anonymization of palestine. i want always good to see many thanks indeed moment bashar they live in london in hong kong three pro-democracy activists are having to wait longer to find out whether they're going to jail or not judges adjourned final appeal against conviction for their role in
4:27 pm
the so-called umbrella protests four years ago and its child nathan will remain on bail wang says the eventual ruling will have big implications for protest movements across asia. japan's public broadcaster n h k is issued an apology after giving a false alarm about a north korean missile launch it's not the what caused the false report but an error correction was issued several minutes later the mistake comes just days after the us state of hawaii experienced a similar false misawa alert that caused panic across the islands china has denounced a meeting in canada on strengthening sanctions against north korea as illegal officials from twenty nations will gather in vancouver for the talks hosted by the u.s. secretary of state and canada's foreign minister the china says the meeting is irrelevant because it's russia we're advices adrian brown has more now from beijing. i don't think china expected to receive an invitation to attend this international
4:28 pm
gathering in vancouver after all it is not an ally really of the united states or canada any more than russia is russia of course is also going to be absent both these countries have very different ideas about how to reduce tensions on the korean peninsula neither country favors military action or more sanctions against north korea what russia and china want is this freeze for freeze formula whereby north korea would cease development of its nuclear program in return for the united states and south korea halting their annual military exercises will the united states are said that is a nonstarter so i think perhaps that if russia and china had been present at this conference they would have proved to be a distraction now china is pouring scorn on this conference they say without key players or the important players it says in this crisis it's doubtful that anything meaningful can be achieved. one tends to think of the richest as
4:29 pm
a holiday paradise not at the moment it's not here to tell us more is with us and folks yeah that's absolutely right a.j. we're looking at the really heavy rain coming in over the next couple of days this is part of the world which is no stranger to maybe a meter of rain in one day we're going to see those kind of amounts but we are looking at huge amounts of rainfall over the next few days for riches you can see we have this circulation here with a clearly marked on the storm that is our tropical cycle and trouble side climate gate and it's making its way towards marisha it'll push down across lower union as we go what is the nine hundred one we're going to see the worst of the weather coming in at the moment sustained winds around one hundred seventy five kilometers per hour they will ease off as we go on through the next couple days but still plenty of heavy rain already saying one hundred thirty five millimeters of rain in twenty four hours i suspect says we go on through wednesday night into thursday rishis and later larry union will see some of the totals of around maybe three hundred four hundred millimeters of rain in
4:30 pm
a twenty four hour spell so certainly plenty enough to cause some flooding we've had flooding rains too you can follow this chain of cloud across madagascar into northern mozambique two hundred millimeters of rain here in twenty four hours even johannesburg seen some really wet weather recently hundred forty three millimeters of rain in twenty four hours for south africa it's going to brighten up is drying up nicely also find some of sunshine coming through that's not the case northern parts of mozambique into southern towns and there we've got more heavy rain coming in here as you go through wednesday and only to thursday and well towards the weekend day three in. everybody thanks still to come here on the on sudan's border with eritrea each country is blaming the other for rising tension will tell you more about that but in sport pele criticizes the lack of great players in modern football tatiana has the details at around twenty minutes.
4:31 pm
when diplomacy fields and fear sweep then our borders are wide open wide open to drugs terrorists we've proven the barriers are built to impose division and external to sixty's instead of being an obstacle to tell wastes into became another obstacle to peace in a four part series al-jazeera revisits the reasons for divisions in different parts of the world and the impact they have on both sides walls of shame at this time on al-jazeera. we have a news gathering team here that is second to none and they're all over the world and they do a fantastic job when information is coming in very quickly all at once you've got to be able to react to all of the changes and al-jazeera we adapt to that. my job is is to break it all down and we held the view on the stand and make sense
4:32 pm
of it. that is good said he with us adrian for going to here in doha with the news hour from zero to zero our top stories this hour the saudi led coalition and yemen as old arrived for cranes at the port of today to begin operations to receive and distribute basic necessities it comes as a defeat area outbreak is spreading quickly in the country with six hundred seventy eight cases of forty eight deaths since august. bangladesh says that around seven hundred fifty thousand refugees will be repatriated to neighboring within two years the bangladeshi government says that the deal was settled upon this week the u.n.
4:33 pm
is reminding both countries that the must go home voluntarily. now yes since president although trump took the oath of office most polls show his approval ratings are languishing at around thirty percent in the first of a five part series we ask who are his most ardent fans and what is it about president trump's so-called america first policies that attract support as al-jazeera as gabriel elizondo went to kentucky to find out. that sound skin tattoo shop there are plenty of people getting their skin in. business is good and the expectation of people here is that it's about to get even better thanks to president donald trump the president promised his tax cut legislation will mean more money in the hands of millions of americans and that is
4:34 pm
one of the many reasons the owner of the shop has no doubt about this president. support president from when i was getting the support president a less. president chavez goes off the wall and doesn't crazy but i mean i'll see that happening i think he's a very smart man that's a common sentiment in this small quiet town of mount sterling kentucky where nearly seventy percent of the residents voted for trump most say they would do it again. on the outskirts of town signs at the manufacturing plants to provide jobs toll most thirty five percent of the local employment base after one major plant closed down last year trump's america first call to keep manufacturing jobs in the u.s. resonated even more we'd like to retain. the why does the money. here trump is still seen as the best hope to do just that well clearly many people here in mount sterling still support president from not everybody does particularly
4:35 pm
african-americans a group that trump has directly challenge during the campaign you're living in poverty you schools are no good you have no jobs fifty eight percent of your youth is unemployed what hell do you have to lose. what we have to. respect. what we have to lose with dignity roy reed is a local city councilman who says it's often forgotten that one fifth of the population in rural america are minorities who he says have been let down by trump made a lot of promises. not of one that benefits this community. feel but back at the tattoo shop trump is seen much differently their support remains permanent just like the ink under the skin.
4:36 pm
sterling kentucky. microswitch is the director of in the institute for public policy and social research at michigan state university he joins us now from east lansing michigan good to have you with us then trumps base is it people in places like sterling kentucky or can you break the demographic studies of that. well at this point his base is just strong republicans we have pretty much moved into a quite partisan era where people have strong party identification and although trumps earliest supporters were a little bit different they tended to be people with lower education who held conservative racial attitudes at this point it's pretty much just the base of the republican party who would be strongly behind any republican president or i could he keep his promises that improve upon that thirty percent.
4:37 pm
well he has pursued a pretty much standard conservative republican policy agenda in the first year they tried but failed to repeal obamacare again and they passed a tax cut on both businesses and individuals so that. moved his supporters more in line with the traditional republican party supporters people who maybe thought he was going to pursue a more liberal agenda might be disappointed those who feared that he wouldn't pursue the traditional republican party agenda might be more positive but the overall decline in his approval rating is really quite a bit across the board and it corresponds mostly to people disliking his his personal style rather than his policy agenda postal style has has led him to be ridiculed in many liberal democracies around the world does that matter to his base the fact that he's a figure of fun that in many places will be
4:38 pm
a rather dangerous one. well i think we just have to think about what the baseline should be i mean president nixon's support on the day he resigned was about twenty five percent of the population so there's going to be a base of supporters for any president no matter what happens and president trump support started low and has declined since he has been serving in office so the public has been responding to what he has been doing and saying but that doesn't necessarily mean that he'll ever lose that core of support that just prefers republicans to democrats on nearly everything and in the year that trump has been in office has the us become more partisan the is the has the political divide groom . well the political divide did grow during the election campaign but it is
4:39 pm
a long term process we have been polarizing that doesn't necessarily mean people hold extreme views it just means that their views are lining up better so people who are republicans tend to be conservatives and they tend to support republican policy positions more than they have in the past and the same is true on the democratic side what happened during the campaign that picks up on things that are been happening in two thousand and eight and in two thousand and twelve but was more severe this year is what we call negative partisanship and that means that whether or not you like your party very much you really hate the other party and trump certainly accelerated that trend everyone abroad wonders whether trump is going to make it through the four years is he. i think it's likely that president trump will remain in office of course we have to wait and see what happens with the mueller investigation but we have
4:40 pm
a political process for moving our presidents that would require the house and senate to decide to impeach and then remove trump on some kind of specific charges and so far there's no indication that that's likely to occur could still to mount many thanks dave mech respond in east lansing michigan on saturday as it will have a one hour special beginning it seventeen hours g.m.t. looking back at donald trump's first year in office and what to expect from his second here police in the u.s. of just a couple with torture thirteen stuffing children were rescued from the family hope some of them chained to the beds one of the children managed to escape and a look police in california as it was many on a hundred ports. a family photo appearing to show david and louise typin surrounded by their thirteen children those children ranging in age from two
