water an essential resource for all humankind across europe pressure to recognize water as a human right and put its management back into public hands is increasing i think that the european commission would be very very. water privatization on anybody they really feel. people who see every two years something to invest the profit of the one dollar. to the last drop on al jazeera.

this is al-jazeera. hello i'm daryn jordan this is the al-jazeera news hour live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes the u.s. accuses russia of tampering with a side to this expect a chemical attack in duma. but i don't think he's medically unfit to be president i think is morally unfit to be president fired f.b.i. director james comey says donald trump may have obstructed justice as a war of words between the two escalates. war and disease the growing fear in yemen as more patients are becoming resistant to antibiotics. and in sports stars the n.b.a. playoffs with unwanted career first james experiencing defeat in game one of the series as cleveland lose out to indiana.

we begin this news. an emergency meeting of the global chemical watchdog is underway on syria in the last hour the u.s. representative to the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons or. accused russia of tampering with the site of a suspected chemical attack in early this month. inspectors on the ground in syria to investigate if chemicals were used on separately the e.u. is calling on russia to prevent syria from any further use of chemical weapons let's talk live not to say no harder she's in the lebanese capital beirut santa so what more details are we hearing about the chemical weapons inspectors in syria. well that team of chemical weapons inspectors they are in the syrian capital damascus what we understand is that they still have not visited the site the alleged site of that chemical weapons attack the reports we are getting is that that team may have to do that alleged attack later today but like you mentioned

earlier the organization holding an emergency meeting at the hague they are discussing. the united states accusing russia of tampering with the evidence now we have to make clear when this chemical weapons attack happened or alleged attack happened the rebels were in control of they then surrendered and left the town and russian police military police entered and investigated the site themselves and according to russia they did not find any trace of chemical weapons in fact russia is accusing the united states of you know tampering with the credibility of the o.p.c. saying that you know its work undermining undermining its work we have to point out that the united states along with its allies did not wait for this fact finding mission to come up with its findings they carried out the airstrikes they targeted the chemical weapons facilities in and around damascus on saturday without waiting for the findings of the opi c.w. but we have to make clear that the o.p.c. mandate is only to determine whether an attacker. actually happened it cannot

determine or apportion blame and say no so how is the syrian government responding to all this and it seems they're gearing up for more military action. yes the syrian government in a very comfortable position following the victory in eastern that was really a threat to the capital damascus now the rebels have been moved away from the capital and now what we understand is the army gearing up for a number of offensive offensives one of them is in the south of damascus they want to target i still i still controls a number of districts in the south of damascus they're also piling more military pressure on rebels in other pockets of territory in the northern countryside of homes in western culture moon what we understand is that they're telling the rebels there you must surrender or leave or else face the military assault so the government really celebrating in the streets of damascus and not just following those who have air strikes they're also marking independence day and like i mentioned since the start of the conflict the government has never been this strong or design to hold in beirut saying up thank you meanwhile the u.s.

is planning to impose new sanctions on russia for continuing to support the syrian government's use of chemical weapons washington's ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley says they'll target companies involved in syria's alleged chemical weapons program so you will see that russian sanctions will be coming down the secretary will be announcing those on monday if he hasn't already and they will go directly to any sort of companies that were dealing with equipment related to assad and chemical weapons use and so i think everyone is going to feel that at this point i think everyone knows that we sent a strong message and our hope is that they listen to it french president emanuel micros taking credit for convincing donald trump to keep u.s. troops in syria only a trumpet said he wants to withdraw american forces from syria very soon. in a place you don't ten days ago president trump was saying the u.s. should withdraw from syria we convinced him that it was necessary to stay i think

that on a diplomatic level beyond what happened abroad to those three strikes which are one element for me the most important thing we convinced him that we needed to stay for the long and went to. former f.b.i. director james comey has accused donald trump of being morally unfit to be u.s. president he says there may be some evidence that trump obstructed justice made the comments in an interview to an american network earlier launched a twitter tirade against me saying the man he sent should be jailed from washington d.c. government is on the reports. in a remarkable rebuke former f.b.i. director james comey is saying u.s. president donald trump is not fit to be commander in chief he's donald trump unfit to be president. yes but not in the way i often hear people talk about it i don't buy the stuff about him being mentally incompetent or early stages of dementia strikes me as

a person of above average intelligence who's tracking conversations and knows what's going on and i don't think he's medically unfit to be president i think is morally unfit to be president of the exclusive interview with a.b.c. news george stephanopoulos was part of the rollout of coleman's new book titled a higher loyalty truth lies and leadership in the interview komi says trump lies has obstructed justice and like to an insecure mob boss and he also says russia might have compromising information on the president do you think the russians have something on donald trump i think it's possible i don't know i mean these are more words i never thought i'd utter about a president but it's possible and he accused the president of wrongdoing of a possible crime yeah structure of justice hours before the komi interview aired the president unloaded on twitter calling komi a slimeball slippery and not. smart in one tweet trump insists komi committed numerous crime some self and needs to go to jail tweeting in part how come he gave

up classified information jail why did he lie to congress jail in another message trump tweets komi will go down as the worst f.b.i. director in history by for trump adding with an exclamation mark for good measure you know more for him is that me yeah komi was fired by trump in may saying it was for his handling of the hillary clinton e-mail investigation but trump later said in an interview it was because of the russian vest a geisha and the firing prompted a series of events that led to the justice department to appoint robert mueller as special counsel overseeing the russian investigators that has expanded to look into whether trump obstructed justice by firing komi komi says trump privately asked him for a loyalty pledge trump denies this this isn't the first book to rattle the white house in january fire and fury sold more than a million copies in four days written by journalist michael wolff the book revealed

salacious details that painted a picture of a white house in chaos khomeini's book however poses even more of a threat to the white house given it was written by the former director of the highest law enforcement agency in america and based partly off notes that he took after private meetings with the president the book is scheduled to be released on tuesday and certain to set off a firestorm in washington and beyond and particularly with an administration that seems to go from one crisis to another gabriel zonda oh al-jazeera washington and american pastas going on trial in turkey in a case that's heightened tensions between two nato allies under brunson's accused of espionage and having links to muslim clerics the two laguna and the outlawed kurdish group the p.k. k. goons accused of staged. a failed coup in turkey in twenty sixteen brunson faces thirty five years in prison if found guilty has denied all allegations. now an

uproar has forced china's biggest and most popular social media network to reverse its decision to ban online gay content sina weibo china's equivalent of twitter received a huge backlash when it blocked videos from comics related to homosexuality the company said it was trying to comply with cybersecurity laws edge and brown has more from beijing. well reversals like this are very rare in china now things all came to a head on friday when sino weibo which is china's equivalent of twitter announced it was going to delete all gay themed content now this provoked a predictable outcry there were letters angry posts hashtags one hash tag in fact called i am going receive more than three hundred million views three hundred million before it was deleted on saturday so clearly online there was a lot of anger but as quickly as those posts appeared they were deleted now the

company defended its actions by saying it wanted to create quote a clear and harmonious environment online and was simply complying with president xi jinping has new cyber security laws the internet has become a real battleground for the l.g. bt community and president xi jinping appears to have that community in his crosshairs he wants to clean up the internet he doesn't like what he's seen and so i think this this battle is by no means over it's going to continue and continue for weeks months and years to come now the l.g. bt community here in china says they are still persecuted and discriminated against even though it's no longer illegal to be gay in this country to be a practicing homosexual now china has one gay parade game archie year that happens in shanghai the next one is in june and now in other parts of the world world leaders take part in those parades it happened with justin trudeau in canada but i

think it's fair to assume the for now you're not going to be see president xi jinping doing that. lots more still to come here on the news hour including how far fighters in australia are battling to control a bushfire burning near sydney. residents of gaza struggle to cope with a crippling water crisis plus. drinks all round as manchester city celebrate the premier league title with fans at the pub and they will have a sport still to come. on the former police chief of spain's catalonia region has appeared before a judge concerning his role in last year's secession referendum he and other probing dependance leaders facing charges of sedition and rebellion on sunday thousands of people protested in barcelona calling for the release of what they call political prisoners but the central government in madrid says they broke the

law by organizing what it described as an illegal referendum. side the supreme court in madrid some sort of bring us up to date with what's been happening today. but as you mentioned the police chief did. those charges of sedition as well as being part of a criminal organization that is the charge that he's accused of so far but also we . at the supreme court we have the three leaders. attending a hearing today the former vice president of the region. plus two other leaders of civil society organizations which were instrumental in. arranging be illegal referendum. is accused of not just of rebellion a crime which carries a maximum sentence of thirty years imprisonment but also misuse of public funds he

in fact the time. was the in charge of the budgets and approved two to arrange the referendum referendum the other two. p. and georgia the fact they're both also facing charges of rebellion as well but there there is also a lot of concern that with the states is that there is in catalonia remember of course that madrid has in effect taken over the region there is a sense that because there is still very much a limbo there is no not no leader nominated to be able to carry out some kind of resolution politically on this subject that it really affects the the three men who are facing their hearing on monday of those counts of rebellion and in fact it will be it will come down hard on them. that really. summarizes already the stress

that these three are under with that because as far as they're concerned the spanish justice system here in madrid is not going to give way now and certainly at this point now they don't think with all the support that they received on sunday from the demonstration they're not going to use their positions now as well and as you saw you saw them meanwhile the protests continue on the streets those demonstrations there's been a huge amount of public support for those leaders. well that was just in barcelona there were at least three hundred fifteen thousand people that came out to the streets not as much as anticipated they were anticipated to be a million on the street by activists but still quite an impressive number came about mocking the six month anniversary of the imprisonment of the castle and civil society leaders they say the activist said they were joined also by trade unionists

as well saying that in effect what has happened is that it's because they've become political prisoners because of their stance on this but the spanish government of course on the opposing side is saying well this really is much more of a clear cut situation they broke the law the referendum was illegal it is illegal under spain's constitution to in effect break away almost akin to something like i suppose the state of california is succeeding from the united states if you will but the danger is of course is that there is a law that they are being sort of in a way threatened with the most severe response of this that of of rebellion and if that indeed goes on that's going to make it's going to really impassioned people to sort of like to continue to demonstrate against it against that and also to ask for their release and the search for there to be less of what has been happening to. the pretrial detention which they're calling for that for the government to stop doing. in madrid. now there's growing concern among aid agencies operating in

yemen about their ability to contain the spread of infection as more people are becoming resistant to lifesaving antibiotics the middle east poorest countries already fragile health system has been destroyed by years of war a saudi led bombing campaign has resulted in thousands of casualties previously manageable diseases have now reached epidemic proportions last year a million cases of cholera were reported is the worst outbreak in modern history while diphtheria used to treat the infection has killed at least forty eight people in different parts of the country doctors now have concerns about the over use of antibiotics elsewhere in the middle east and when coupled with thousands of injuries poor hygiene and a lack of access to clean water they're concerned diseases antibiotic resistance may spread beyond yemen but on in areas the medical coordinator for doctors without borders in yemen and she joins us now via skype from the capital of santa ana so how big is the problem of drug resistant infections in yemen and why is this story

only coming out now. in yemen around sixty to seventy percent of them both are either infected or call and i organised and these are the same organisms one would find in major western hospitals but what's surprising is the prevalence and widespread situation we are seeing here in yemen we do believe that the main reason you have heard about now is because. agencies are focusing of course that bridges the response so there you got it terror and actors that are working in. it and many analysts point out that after years of bombing by the saudi led coalition that's crippled the food supply it's destroyed basic infrastructure and devastated the health system presumably and of that makes the conditions ripe for superbugs to emerge. of course well when you

have an issue of over usage of went to bellatrix where you had the revolution and rational to cues in the west in the ninety's and two thousand this didn't necessarily reach me to a specially not yemen other than that the majority of the health facilities in the country are either destroyed or nonfunctional deal with the lack of staff and lack of supplies so we have an issue of patients not reaching the hospital because of the conflict itself when they do reach hospitals after this structure as are overwhelmed and other they would have provided the very expensive and specialized treatment that would be resistant bacteria requires so you have basins who are not being treated correctly and this has a huge impact on foretelling. and what sort of challenges then do these antibiotic resistant diseases place on a health care system that already as you say is struggling to deliver even basic primary care. so you have

a system that is unable to offer proper secondary and primary care so this patients they have different types of needs they often have prolonged states so in our hospital instead of staying five days which used to be the average they stay up to six weeks far weeks sometimes even more than that to complete their at about equipment also they require high resource laboratories for these exactions to be detected and trained laboratory stuff which is going the country and more importantly these antibiotics are quite expensive and the absolute by direct of hospitals cannot provide them and just a final thought from it and i mean the problem isn't just confined to yemen is it we're hearing now of disease resistant bacteria emerging in other war torn countries across the middle east like iraq and syria. yes we have reasons to believe that this is a widespread issue throughout the middle east but specially in areas of conflict so our hospitals in jordan. syria and iraq have similar reports unary thank you very

much for talking to al jazeera thank you. clean drinking water is a luxury in gaza waste treatment plants can't work at full capacity because of electricity and fuel shortages which means that sewage is pumped directly into the mediterranean sea israel's ten year blockade on gaza has been blamed for the crisis in the latest in our water series shall start with reports from gaza. the hill who delivers filtered water to thousands of families of gaza with around fifty percent unemployment here he is lucky to have a job. the water from gaza's taps is on safe to drink because it contains dangerous levels of chlorine and sulphate. but the head says israel's ten year long land sea and air blockade has made people so poor many can't even afford to pay for his company's better quality water while there are now visual i know what our business

welcome back up at the mind of the top stories here on al-jazeera the u.s. has accused russia of tampering with the site of a suspected chemical weapons attack in duma representatives of a global chemical watchdog are holding an emergency meeting at the hague o.p.c. double inspectors on the ground in syria to investigate if chemical weapons were used but they still haven't been allowed access. the former police chief of spain's catalonia region has appeared before a judge concerning his role in last year's secession referendum and other probing depend as leaders are facing charges of sedition and rebellion. and china's most popular social media site is reversing

a decision to ban gay content online sina weibo received a backlash when it blocked videos and comics relating to sexuality the company said it was trying to comply with cyber security. our let's return to our top story now the emergency meeting of the global chemical watchdog at the hague really challenge joins us live from moscow recently o.p.c. w.'s meeting at the hague what are we hearing from the russian side. well the russians responders to the accusations both from the u.s. delegation to the o.p.c. w which is that the russians of a centrally being tampering with the duma site and also to the u.k.'s delegation to the o.p.c. w which is accused the russians of basically not allowing the fact finding mission to get to do me yet will both of those accusations of push back from moscow so far

the russian delegation to the o.p.c. w says the the us allegations are essentially the u.s. just trying to undermine the credibility of the fact finding mission before it even arrives at the site and against the u.k. allegations the russian deputy foreign minister has said that if there is a delay of these inspectors arriving in duma it's not because of the russians it's because of the u.s. u.k. and french air strikes over the weekend that's what has delayed this mission but i think it's interesting to say that you know the russians have been claiming for many days now that duma is basically now fully under syrian government control and that russian military police are patrolling the streets establishing law and order well what do you know on that day that o.p.c. w inspectors are supposed to get to duma and start their work there we're hearing

on russian news wires that fighting has broken out in the area between rebels and government forces which is possibly going to delay the arrival of those weapons chemical weapons inspectors even even longer rory thank you. and russia is blocking access to a telegram that's a popular messenger service this is after the company failed to give security services access to use a secret messages russian media says moscow's communications watchdog has written to google and apple demanding their close access on their app stores telegram has strong encryption settings and is used by more than two hundred million people. an heiress to south korea's largest airline has apologized for pushing an employee join a business meeting police are now investigating choice humen she's accused of yelling and throwing water at a manager of korean air's advertising agency last month her sister was jailed in twenty fourteen for ordering

places the french government wants to see an end to camps like this it's proposing a new immigration law which would aim to crack down on so-called economic migrants but speed up the process for asylum seekers but some experts say that's simply the wrong approach. the key purpose of the bill is to trade the migrants and salem's the girls from going to france to build doesn't do anything to try and make the living conditions better for those who are here already. last year one hundred thousand people applied for asylum in france one third were successful for those granted the right to stay integrating into society is an additional challenge today carlos are bellairs studies at one of france's top universities but seven years ago he fled colombia after four months in paris sleeping outside he was taken in by french family it changed his life. no hopers around europe has to realize that the way it has welcomed refugees hasn't worked for me having lived with
