accusing iran it's true that up to now the united nation did not accuse iran. but given. that that of such fighting is directly related with what's happening. in washington and the change in the american administration coming up with a team that is more aggressive two words it on all of these elements to say that iran is behind this. attack on saudi soil is the. saudi arabia found it difficult to try to either find. eliminate these yemeni soil. because there yemeni is

a huge space because there is always there is of damages and death toll among. and there because i mean at one point we see get control of all countries and. their state and their state of yemeni military was in shambles big b. before saudis tried to intervene in order to protect their small blasts i mean there is more and more pressure to stop this war and to find political settlement but the fact is it's very hard to get of such a use of. only by military means it has been. elsewhere in syria and lebanon it's not. an easy target specially that.

quickly spread through about one thousand six hundred square meters of the building the footage that is being taken by locals on their mobile phones shows thick smoke pouring out of the top floors with emergency services people trying to get access to the building on long ladders lower down in the building the kremlin is saying that it is being kept up to speed with what's going on to be true peskov the spokesperson for the kremlin says but he may pose in the president has dispatched the emergencies minister to camera to oversee the operation rescue in the aftermath we know that various bits of kits like robotics and drones of also being dispatched from moscow and another siberian city cross and i ask there is also the criminal side of things which is swinging into gear this was a new building it was only opened in two thousand and thirteen so all the fire specs exact all that sort of thing should have been up to modern regulations we

know who the detentions police intentions of been made so far one of the bosses of the company that runs this mall has been taken into detention i expect that that side of things is going to be progressing fairly quickly in the days ahead now the emir of qatar is in russia for talks with president vladimir putin he's the first foreign leader to visit moscow since putin was comfortably reelected last week the talks are expected to focus on economic ties the blockade against qatar by other g.c.c. countries and the war in syria. voting is underway in egypt in the presidential election widely expected to return the incumbent of those other seats power opponents have called for a boycott of the vote after all serious challenges to sisi withdrew saying they faced intimidation cc's only rival is. a former supporter who the opposition

says is a dummy candide it jamal a shell looks that ccs first four years in office. although opted for the has he was only named president in june two thousand and fourteen the former army general has been in control of egypt since july the previous year when he led a coup deposing the country's first democratically elected president mohamed morsi since taking power sisi has made numerous promises and pledges to the egyptian people in a bid to win their support first he vowed to defeat what he described as potential violence and terrorism in any digital fleet i call in all egyptians to take to the streets to task me with preventing the potential violence and terrorism that threatens us. in reality however since sisi became president attacks and bombings appear to have increased dramatically across the country i saw which did not have a branch in egypt recruited fighters and began killing soldiers and police officers in sinai but the violence was not limited to the peninsula car bombs in central

cairo and alexandria are testament to cc's inability to deliver on his promise of security another pledge made by the army general was to build a national road network that would connect cities and help improve road safety i will i will build a world class road network within one year that will connect all of egypt. four years have now passed not only does egypt have an extremely poor road network according to the world health organization it ranks amongst the ten worst countries for road safety with deaths being an almost daily occurrence. c.c. had also promised to drastically improve the economy and increase living standards there was initial hope when his government organized the two thousand and fifteen international economic conference billions of dollars worth of projects were announced until now though very little of those have been achieved even the much hail construction of a new administrative capital has seen little to no development similar to the

pledge of building one million new homes with hundreds of thousands of egyptians still either homeless or living in slums one promise that was fulfilled by c.c. was the expansion of the suez canal however the promised revenue from this project has not materialized in fact after convincing the public to help fund the project through investment bonds the government's own figures show revenue from the suez canal has actually dropped as a result of the decline in maritime traffic c.z. has been president for four years and in power for five in the early days he had promised to transform egypt into a world power the reality is that he presides over a country where thirty percent live below the poverty line and the vast majority are struggling to remain just above it his critics doubts that's another four years will bring any significant improvement. well still ahead

here on al-jazeera an adult film star goes public about her relationship with donald trump why she says she feared for her life and the u.s. and south korea agreed to a revised trade deal how are we to dress is america's concerns those stories to the . hello once again we'll stop by look at the weather in southeast asia and here you can see a lot of cloud across parts of borneo philippines not looking too bad but we have had some heavy rain being reported here over the last twenty four hours and then as we look at the forecast much of the philippines slightly drawing you see a circulation developing towards the east now that is a tropical depression which is expected to move away towards the south so although as i move the forecast through to when say it begins to look quite threatening we're not expected to have an impact on the philippines so elsewhere we've got some

showers for borneo so heavy showers across java and then moving up through the night pincher has a chance of a shower for singapore but probably dried drying kuala lumpur and northwards towards bangkok is also likely to stay dry here into a straight here than we've seen some huge amounts of rainfall being reported in parts of queens and with the remnants of tropical cyclone nora which continues to drift away towards the south and as this runs into this trough of low pressure would like to see further heavy showers affecting parts of queens and so an extremely wet one intense phil further south we got some showers for breeze front but sydney should be dry and fine because they're for melbourne at twenty one but as we head on through into wednesday see temperatures rising there nicely should be fine in perth with highs of twenty two across new zealand it looks like being a pretty wet one across parts of the south i don't.

i am doing this for the benefit of people. so bad they see the importance of the our guys. who witness documentaries that open your eyes. at this time on al-jazeera are. you watching all jews are welcome back home so robin a reminder of all top news stories saudi arabia says it shot down seven missiles fired from yemen fifty rebels have claimed responsibility for the strikes which

targeted airports in the capital riyadh and three other cities saudi authorities say at least one person was killed. at least sixty four people are dead and dozens missing after a fire was a shopping center in siberia it happened in the city of command of three thousand kilometers east of the russian capital moscow many of the victims also to be children and voting is underway in egypt in the presidential election widely expected to return of the shuttle sisi to power the former military general is running virtually unchallenged up two opponents withdrew saying they faced intimidation. israeli police are questioning prime minister benjamin netanyahu over one of several corruption cases that could threaten his political future police arrived at his home in jerusalem on monday morning israeli media reports the questioning relates to netanyahu is dealings with israel's largest telecommunications. company he's accused of giving him regulatory benefits in exchange for favorable coverage on its news website. the israeli government's also

being given until monday to provide more details of its plan to deport more than forty thousand african refugees the supreme court set the deadline after suspending the program at a hearing earlier this month how he foresaw reports of west jerusalem. among the inmates of saharan imprisoned deep in israel's southern negev desert are dozens of eritrean and sudanese men who have in the narrowest sense chosen to be their stead of deportation to a third country known to be either uganda or wondered what are her son says the inmates have made the right choice he accepted a deal to leave israel for uganda in twenty fourteen but instead found himself delivered to sudan the country he'd fled now he's made it to uganda away studying law but says direct deportees from israel have their documents taken at the airport leaving them unprotected no one is willing to fight or die for this because rights

in israel there's at least there's activists and there's a lot of resistance. israel's government is trying to remove forty thousand africans mostly sudanese and eritrean who entered from egypt before a border fence was completed four years ago the first phase of the detention or deportation policy targets single men but for now it's been frozen pending a decision by israel supreme court on monday the train was running very quickly we at least stopped at seagull coco v.v. is one of those behind the legal petition against the policy she doubts the government has a defensible deal with rwanda to show the court and hopes the freeze will continue but i think it's going to be very hard for the supreme court now to turn this around and say without an agreement without seeing an agreement this can go on israel's prime minister though is determined to press ahead last week he said unrestricted african migration would be more dangerous than terrorism is. long argued that israel has the right to expel people he calls illegal infiltrators

where somebody is granted asylum status he can be expelled but not to the country where he cannot be returned in this case but if another country is willing to accept him it's perfectly legal under international law. it's an argument that holds little weight protests as good on who fled forced service in the eritrean army but how does asylum claim rejected in israel he says neither wonder nor uganda offers the safe haven that should be his right under international law let's though i did what i did to stay in a prison to stay in a prison i prefer to stay in a body that instead of risk of death. i don't give up and so i don't lose hope i don't give up in the short term such hopes depend on the next decision made by israel supremes court but more broadly they rely on the outcome of what's been a vociferously national debate about whether african refugees now deserve the same kind of sanctuary in israel as jews fleeing europe in the twentieth century a recent poll suggested two thirds of jewish israelis supported the government line

speaker of the the parliament that there should not be violence they want to keep this a calm and a peaceful protest but it depends very much on the appearance of colors bustamante in the german court will he be remanded in custody and will he be released on bail to fight the extradition process what happens in that court with very much affect the mood on the streets here in barcelona and across the whole of catalonia so they're saying essentially that the government is running. an oppressive repressive and revengeful campaign against the separatist leaders and they're simply trying to decapitate the democratic process here in catalonia. filmstar who says she had to with u.s. president donald trump in two thousand and six says she was threatened with physical violence after she first tried to go public with the story stormy daniels
