he's here with me because he is going to keep thinking and kind of man i see him in afghanistan with some taliban fighters a new call to arms for taliban leaders a threat to their authority take a shot to see the loss of children and stave off learning something along the islam they will only love no less. unprecedented access i still and the taliban at this time on al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. this is news are live from london coming up in the next sixty minutes said the u.s.

holds back sixty five million dollars in aid for palestinians in line with a threat made by double trump just weeks ago on twitter. we cannot and will not accept you as a nuclear state. the u.s. secretary of state sends a message to north korea a nuclear pyongyang is not acceptable. pope francis expresses pain and shame over sex abuse by priests in chile. in doha with all the baseball including well larry. i'm here not to tell someone but to tell every almost one hundred victims of sexual abuse by a u.s. gymnastics team doctor tell a judge these stories as he prepares to be sentenced. so then donald trump has threatened to pull a. from palestinians earlier this month in

a post on twitter and he now appears to have gone through with that threat the u.s. government has announced it will withhold sixty five million dollars in money earmarked for palestinians it's a move that could prove catastrophic for hundreds of thousands of people in need let's go straight to our diplomatic editor james bays is at the united nations and joins us now live as we said james donald trump threat that this might happen let's now to be in place what more do you know what it's going to be a big blow to the palestinian people those that rely on this u.n. agency in the west bank and gaza where they do vital work education schools are hospitals health care and social services to palestinians from an rather un relief and works agency one of the oldest parts of the united nations set up nearly seventy years ago and not just operating in the west bank in gaza are also

operating in neighboring countries the camps that are run in places like jordan and lebanon are not run by the un refugee agency u.n.h.c.r. they're run in those countries by annorah so this is an important blow because this is the first funding of the year the first tranche of funding and the u.s. is withdrawing more than half of it or at least withholding it for now and it's clear that although the u.n. knew that something was coming they were not warned in advance of the details the u.n. secretary general antonio good terrorist happened to be giving a news conference as word of this started to emerge from washington he said he not being told any details at all and made this appeal. audra is providing vital services to the palestinian refugee population both in the occupied territories and in jordan. and in. lebanon.

those services are of extreme importance not only for the wellbeing of these populations and that is syria's you many daily and concern he but also in my opinion and they'll be that is shared by most international observers including some israeli ones it is an important factor of stability so. if all around we'll not be in a position to provide the vital services and the emergency forms of support that longer has been providing these will create a very very serious problem and we will do everything we can to avoid the situation to walk. what do you think what might be the motivation by the the u.s. administration that by putting this move through. well they say that they don't think it is a very well managed agency and they don't like everything that has been doing but clearly a lot of what does is a very important great importance to the humanitarian situation to the living

conditions of palestinians there is also of course a political dimension to all of this remember that president trump has said that he's going to come or try to come up with the deal of the century between israelis and palestinians and yet now we've heard him recognize jerusalem as the capital of israelis we've heard him now cutting the funding to under a it's clear he wants to come up with a deal with the two sides and yet one of the sides i think feels very strongly now that he is not an honest broker or a james thanks very much indeed james bass reporting there from the united nations . yes actor state rex tillerson says a nuclear armed north career is not acceptable and is calling for continued pressure on pyongyang until it take steps to undo its nuclear program to listen when speaking at a meeting in canada that's looking at ways to better implement u.n. sanctions imposed on the north officials from twenty countries that have but to

keep less that's russia and china well they're absent if the object of negotiations if and when we get there is the complete verifiable and irreversible denuclearization of north korea all nations here today are united on that go we all must insist a full enforcement of us security council sanctions as this is the letter of the law we especially urge russia and china in this matter full implementation is an essential measure for the security of their people and a clear indication of their willingness to honor their international commitments we cannot abide lapses or sanctions evasions we will continue to call attention to and designate entities and individuals complicit in such evasive actions between other rose jordan who's in bank and rose what does this meeting trying to achieve.

well as we heard from the secretary of state rex tillerson this really is about shoring up the enforcement of existing u.n. security council resolutions which call for very targeted sanctions but very broad sanctions against the north korean government trying to cut down on any efforts to import materials and equipment and money that could be used to build and design nuclear warheads as well as ballistic missiles which would be the way that these nuclear warheads would be used theoretically against other countries it's also perhaps an opportunity to try to get some ideas from countries that normally don't have a seat at the table when dealing with the north korean question to try to get some insight and perhaps some new ideas on how to get north korea to stop the development of its weapons programs and to reenter the six party talks which

basically have not been taking place for the last several years and in fact some suggest that the process is practically dead in the water and. any progress here without russia and china the permanent members of course of the u.n. security council in any steps decided upon would need their approval and then the. well there is a lot of skepticism starting first with officials in moscow and in beijing in fact the chinese government called this meeting on tuesday illegal we don't know what such a gathering of world leaders would be considered illegal but that's beijing's perspective certainly there is a real concern that washington or at least some elements within the trumpet ministration have been pushing much harder than others would prefer for some sort of military resolution to the crisis even though the official line policy of the u.s. is that there is ultimately. only diplomacy that can end this situation with north

korea but that said both china and russia are considered to have considerable influence with the government impelling yong in fact the british foreign minister boris johnson made that point when he addressed reporters in the past couple of hours here in vancouver so it's really a question of will the briefing that happens after this meeting here in vancouver with officials in moscow and beijing be enough to keep these powers that all sit on the u.n. security council as permanent members keep them all on the same page as it were to try to resolve this crisis that's really the big objection that russia and china have which is that this meeting is nothing more than a distraction from the real work that has to be done within the auspices of the united nations are all signs very much indeed rose jordan reporting that while china will significant influence over pyongyang wish to pen's on it for ninety

percent of its trade and its rubber bride reports now from beijing china wants to play missy to work first instead of tougher measures. tensions have increased and tensions have eased but the trains and trucks have continued to roam. but the friendship bridge undone don't some of the essential food and supplies that keeps north korea going a arrives from china. ninety percent of north korea's trade is with china while chinese leaders say they fully implement un sanctions they seem equally determined not to allow north korea to collapse the whole time on north korea might be able to adapt well still managed to survive. so china wants to take a bribe to measures to a computer to cut off north korea despite sanctions there's evidence that some north korean businesses such as restaurants and hotels that should have been closed

have stayed open. from china's perspective now is not the time for tough measures with the resumption of talks between north and south korea beijing wants to encourage the signs of a thaw. toss in north korea and south korea have started talking to the eleven pics will be held at the start of next month i'm not sure if china has the political motivation to impose further severe sanctions. the fear for china is that just as there's a hint of an improvement in relations with north korea the u.s. and its allies are preparing to ratchet up the pressure and that will only harden pyongyang to position. the north korean leadership say nuclear missiles capable of hitting the u.s. on the did for survival against hostile powers more threats from the u.s. and its allies might give leader kim jong un the justification to speed up the

weapons program not slow it down rob mcbride al jazeera beijing well let's take this on we can speed up to greg choose executive director of the committee for human rights in north korea was discovered your welcome to the program what do you make of this meeting that's going on in any progress that you think. make my pleasure of the point of this meeting is to ramp up pressure on north korea to find ways to better implement the sanctions regime grounded in the un security sanctions resolutions and to stop the development and probably for ration of north korean nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles this is a meeting of sending nations nations that answered the call of the united nations on june the twenty seventh one thousand nine hundred fifty eight coal to repel the

north korean surprise attack an invasion of june the twenty fifth nine hundred fifty eight united nations coal to resort the territorial integrity and the sovereignty of the republic of korea south korea this is a gathering of nations that paid the heavy price in blood lives treasure ok we're going to make sure does that mean that these that you talk about this meeting about ramping up pressure on north korea but what hope is there of ramping up pressure if two of the members of the of the u.n. security council to permanent members of the un not actually present that is russia and china. well certainly russia and china were on the other side of the korean war now you are absolutely right indeed north korea shares a long border with china north korea shares seventeen kilometers of border with russia in order to be sure of effective implementation of the sanctions regime certainly china must be on board china has showed signs that it is more serious

about implementing un security council sanctions we have to keep in mind that u.n. security council sanctions are a very serious matter pursuant to chapter seven action to ascertain threats to international peace and security if sanctions do not work there is a frightening question to ask what comes next right meanwhile we have these talks between the north and the south direct talks what hope lies dead do you think south korea has a short term objective here that objective is to ensure a successful winter olympics even kill me on there are just two potential spoiler c.-o. one being very harsh weather very cold weather the other being kim jong than and this regime so by engaging in the stocks of the north koreans the south koreans are trying to ensure some peace and quiet during the games in their turn the north

koreans have a clear short term objective which is to extract maximum benefits they've agreed to send to athletes to ice skaters to solve korea this sending a humongous delegation cheerleaders minder's a one hundred forty member phil or morning orchestra to south korea now presumably south korea will have to pick up the tab all right greg we'll leave it there greg. executive director of the committee for human rights in north korea thanks very much indeed the pleasure all mine thank you. much more still to come here on the news including a prominent politician who was standing trial for war crimes is shot dead outside his office. a stock market milestone in the united states the dow jones industrial average hits twenty six thousand points for the first. federal on the right track for twentieth grand slam

title he has the latest from his turning. chilly pope francis is express what he's called his pain and shame over the country sexual abuse scandal it is the first time is commented on the crisis surrounding a former priest who was found guilty in two thousand and eleven of abusing teenage boys the remarks came before he held an outdoor mass in the capital santiago from the latin america to noon as this report. chilean catholics and immigrants from many parts of latin america spent the night here for the chance to see pope francis up the pope's media never you never read them again it was worth it i love these pipes under schools the name of the social justice which all political parties have forgotten. this is something to spark and

organizers calculated four hundred thousand people came to the pope's first mass in chile less than half of the estimated one million who attended pope john paul the second's mass here thirty one years ago during chile's military dictatorship but those were different times back then john paul's mass was interrupted when riot police began firing massive amounts of tear gas into the crowd to disperse those who were protesting against human rights abuses and calling for the pope's support which they brought three decades on chileans are still thinking about abuses but this time those committed by the church. pope francis wasted no time confronting the issue in his first address here at the presidential palace he asked for forgiveness for clerical sex abuses against innocent minors. here i feel bound to express my pain and shame the irreparable damage caused to

children by some ministers of the church. i am one with my brother bishops for it is right to ask for forgiveness and make every effort to support the victims even as we commit ourselves to ensuring that such things do not happen again. many will be holding him to his word because a lot of that has to be corrected forgiveness is necessary but abuses have to be private no matter what the song during the mass the pope spoke of peace before leaving to meet women prisoners on tuesday he's in the most complex stop of his trip it's the epicenter of a restive territorial dispute by indigenous is a place where chileans are hoping that his message of peace and reconciliation will be heard you see in human santiago. a member of the qatari family who said he was being held against his will in the united arab emirates has

now left the country at a military hospital in kuwait shake up been tanita released a video statement on sunday saying that if anything were to happen to him is not at fault the u.a.e. has denied the allegations saying he was free to leave whenever he chose the saudi led coalition fighting the who the rebels in yemen. for cranes at the port of who did it to begin operation the cranes were bored with u.s. funds and will be used to offload basic necessities such as food and medicine and reports that aid cannot come soon enough. amid the worst humanitarian crisis in the world what could be a sliver of hope these four to die no cranes which are just arrived at her data port in yemen funded by the united states agency for international development that will significantly increase. floating capacity here at the port to

ease congestion and improve ultimately improve delivery of humanitarian and other supplies to the people who desperately need it across yemen the saudi led coalition fighting who the rebels in northern yemen is promising to allow the cranes to begin offloading food medicine and other basic necessities there have been guarantees before but aid hasn't always flowed it can't come soon enough is there anybody can use when needed by fatah enough to yemen they want to make sure and give you what used to come and you know as i believe that the majority of the. the international committee of the red cross stresses however that while aid is arriving in yemen it's not coming quick enough. in the city of tire is dozens of protesters demonstrated against what they said is government negligence

government leaders are accused of failing to control the collapse of the national currency or protect yemenis from rising food prices the companies that you many do need is not enough this is a country of twenty seven even so many different agencies get enough fuel and food and medicine for the whole country what we need is for collusion what's the abbey and the let will those inside of fish. the poorest country in the middle east is facing multiple crises the worst cholera epidemic ever recorded and a dip theory outbreak that is spreading quickly in a country with some of the highest rates of malnutrition in the world and where more than eight million people are on the brink of famine a new report by unicef details how children have been scarred by war and says that since the escalation of the conflict in march two thousand and fifteen three million children have been born in yemen that's approximately three thousand every

day unicef says more than eleven million yemeni children need humanitarian assistance just one of the many reasons why few believe the suffering of the yemeni people will end any time soon. there are reports that u.s. president donald trump's folate chief strategist has been subpoenaed to testify on possible russia collusion in the two thousand and sixteen presidential election it's understood that steve ballmer will be required to testify before a grand jury he met with the u.s. house of representatives intelligence committee as part of its own russian investigation on choose day or can we help it has more now from washington d.c. . the subpoena by robert muller for steve bannon to appear before a grand jury is certainly a game changer and marks an escalation in the ongoing probe into trump campaign ties to russia and whether or not there was any collusion it's not likely that bannon will testify before the grand jury but what this does seem to indicate is

some strong arm tactics by the special prosecutor essentially there may be some sort of deal making in the works where there is with the promise to cooperate another promise that bannon will not have to testify before the grand jury but it certainly is problematic for the president given the fact that it is an unraveling relationship between the president and his former chief strategist one that has deescalated into name calling not only has steve van in that book fired fury said that a meeting that donald trump jr participated in with a kremlin linked lawyer was treasonous but of course donald trump for his part has alleged that steve bannon was forced out of the white house because he had in the words of the president lost his mind well this certainly could be some motivation for steve bannon to speak rather open and freely with the special prosecutor this is certainly a marking of an escalation in this investigation one that the white house has

insisted repeatedly would be wrapping up rather imminently but of course has not. jones industrial averages race policy twenty six thousand vote for the first time in history the peak appears to show rising economic optimism and the president really was under his rule. whether it be here in the u.s. or abroad the first year of president donald trump's time in office has been beset by controversies and setbacks he's one of the least popular presidents in modern times with his approval ratings in the thirty's to at best low forty's but one area where trump has seen a lot of success is right here at the stock market many people saying the u.s. economy as a whole is roaring like a freight train now the dow is one of the oldest and most watched economic indicators anywhere in the world it's the weighted average of thirty significant stocks traded on the new york stock exchange and nasdaq it's been around for over

one hundred in twenty years and the dow has reached twenty six thousand points for the first time ever shortly after trading began on tuesday and it's a signal of the strong health of the stock market and the u.s. economy as a whole the g.d.p. growth is up and unemployment is down the stock market started making gains shortly after trump took office on his promise to cut regulations that hinder economic growth and he's done just that cutting hundreds of regulations in the last year and now the markets are responding positively to trump's tax reform legislation which is promising huge tax cuts to corporations and seen as a gift to wall street add it all up and the dow has shot up more than forty percent since trump became president further helping is that crude prices are up to some of the highest prices in the past three years driven up by production cuts by opec and

strong demand fueled by economic growth but going back to the dow and the stock market while without a doubt it is seeing record gains it is mostly benefiting the rich and well connected millions of americans are seeing no or very little effect from it or only one third of the bottom fifty percent of wage earners have stocks in many ways this is a search that's a lot about the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. a city in central japan has used its emergency loudspeaker to recall packages of blue fish meat the regional health office for the city is trying to track down for packages of playfish because they may contain the potentially deadly liver a fifth package has been returned with a liver intact the fish is known as food it's an expensive delicacy but its liver is toxic and it's banned handling and preparing food is very dangerous requiring

store for us so this is wednesday then strong winds yet more of those showers but as we head through wednesday into thursday see this system here galloping its way eastwards that's developing feature we'll see winds while over one hundred thirty kilometers per hour as a system borrows its way towards the east so very strong winds on that and also some very heavy snow even some parts of the u.k. are likely to have around twenty centimeters of snow from it as it gradually edges its way eastward so i'm a just system here there are likely to be reports of power outages and trees down as well for the eastern part of europe generally a lot quieter here but we do have this weather system here this bringing us so rather intense outbreaks of snow as we head through thursday for the northern parts of africa generally a lot quieter for us here we have had a little bit of rain in the far western parts about syria but that's all fizzling out now and we're just seeing a little bit more in the way of clouds roll the breezy though so that could be picking up a fair amount of sand and dust in hades. look
