counting center in dublin joins us live from there and as i said neve results expected in saturday afternoon expected to be quite a dramatic month. definitely in a result that seems to have caught both sides of this fierce debate off guard with almost all of the count stations now conducting the count to clean here in dublin where i am it does look already is if this is turning into a landslide for the yes campaign those people who voted yes to repealing the eighth amendment of the irish constitution introduced in one thousand nine hundred eighty three then pull with them some of the strictest support laws in europe comparable only to poland and malta according to early exit polls conducted by r.t.e. the national broadcaster and the irish times the figures put the yes side of the

debate at roughly around the seventy percent no the around the thirty percent of people here are really trying to sort of understand how a vote of this scale results of this scale was such a disparity is even possible in some parts of the country they do seem that they may need to conduct recounts where they had assumed that it might be very close indeed he said they were expecting the official results towards the mid afternoon local time here in ireland he would doubly know this count probably in a couple of hours time will know exactly how the capital voted an early exit poll here though suggested that as many as seventy seven percent of voters back yes. how is this turnaround being explained there. well people still trying to work it out themselves on the one hand i spoke to the chief of amnesty international here colm o'gorman a short while ago and he believes that in the back of people's minds for quite a long time now they've always wanted the chance to vote on this highly divisive

argument of course for many people they've already been effectively allowed to terminate pregnancies by simply go across the other side of the aisle we see to the united kingdom where it is legal so people have been arguing is why not legislate this situation here in the country allow people under very difficult challenging circumstances to terminate pregnancies also this being the argument that perhaps the no camp dug their heels in didn't concede enough when it came to very challenging questions over whether or not women who had children with fatal fetal abnormalities should be allowed to terminate pregnancies or in cases of rape or incest they should be allowed to terminate pregnancies as far as the no campbell concerned that should be a blanket ban on all abortion and that seems to have polarized society and of course now the majority appear to have believed that the most humane thing to do is to give women the choice. or i will leave it there for now leave barca there. for

the second time in less than twenty four hours u.s. president don trump has raised hopes a scheduled meeting for next month with north korea's leader may actually happen trump canceled his summit with kim jong un blaming it on what he called open hostility from pyongyang as a day later he said he's having a very productive talks with north korea on getting the talks back on track trying to eat through the meeting could still take place on june the twelfth or later in singapore. prospect of the summit between trump and kim is a highly divisive issue in south korea while most people support better relations with the north conservative groups are firmly opposed from abroad reports. these protests by right wing groups have been a regular feature in seoul every saturday afternoon since the president they supported parky and hey was forced out of office a year and

a half ago and the protests have continued against the president who replaced her j n n especially against his policy of engagement with north korea these are people who believe the north can never be trusted and that dialogue with north korea is simply dangerous folly. as well as the korean flag and the other bands you see here often in evidence in the stars and stripes these people believe the strong ally the united states provides the ultimate protection against north korea so the on again off again talks between trump and kim leaves many people here deeply conflicted. south korea and the u.s. are like one body because it might have all the north koreans are all lying is and they use military force and don't respect human rights there are not a good dialogue just for the sake of dialogue won't do any good. presidential

office the blue house now says they're cautiously optimistic that the summit will go ahead in singapore and the majority of people in south korea would agree with them these people may be against it but opinion polls show around three quarters of south koreans support moon and this policy of engagement. well the u.s. house of representatives has approved a measure requiring the pentagon to investigate whether american troops tortured detainees in yemen hundreds of men have reportedly gone missing after a search for al qaeda fighters in the south of the country used to say their forces have interrogated detainees in yemen they deny any of participation in all knowledge of human rights abuses rob reynolds has more from washington d.c. . the associated press news agency was the first to uncover the existence of a network of secret prisons in yemen run by the united arab emirates in

a report published last year the eighteen secret prisons reportedly have as many as two thousand prisoners and those prisoners have been subjected to a variety of brutal tortures including electric shocks beatings burning and sexual abuse those findings were largely confirmed by a special panel of experts appointed by the u.n. now this legislation passed by the house is part of a much larger defense department budget bill it would have to go to the senate to be then sent on to president trump for his signature to become law the senate just recently voted to approve gina haskell as director of the cia his haskell was allegedly involved in activities including torture at u.s. black site prisons in earlier years. according to u.s.

law it is illegal for u.s. personnel to be involved in torture however those protections are much less stringent when it comes to surrogates or u.s. allies actually carrying out the brutal acts the u.s. has been supporting the u. the u.a.e. and saudi arabia in their battle against who the rebels in yemen for about the past three years. cyclonic made landfall in one bringing strong winds and torrential rains two people died after it hit the coastal city of salalah at least five other people were killed when it hit the island of culture on thursday forty people are missing thousands have been moved away from coastal areas. as more from somalia. but there is a general sense of relief after the worst of the cycle on has passed and that's because during the last few days that your logical services issued reports talking

about a category two fight alone that could hit this country and could be one of the most destructive in its recorded history however when it's made landfall tonight that's like long lost much of its power and it also did not the eye of the cycle did not directly hit here in the city. that has about two hundred thousand people in it. instead it passed about seventy five kilometers to the southwest of here and that's an area with population in relation. to the finale here or so i mean they force talking about only the two people during the night one of them is a twelve year old girl he's a man who was driving in the streets when his car drifted into a. market. so there is as i said this sense of relief here due to the mobilization that the government has launched in the last few days and

the awareness among the people here the damage was limited talking about material damage we don't have figures yet i think that assessment is still going on and there will be probably more information about this in the next few hours or days. brazil's president has ordered the military to intervene in a nationwide truck drivers strike the government and the truck drivers union reached an agreement to suspend the walkout on thursday but not all drivers are respecting the new deal or a four pts. the strike began last monday with truck driving a few years calling follow a fuel prices brazil is heavily reliant on its cargo being transported by road and after striking drivers erected roadblocks the country was very soon suffering fuel and food shortages especially in the major cities yesterday us forces fed that ice i called the federal security forces to clear the roads and i'm asking the

governors to do the same we will not allow people to go without basic products we will not allow consumers to go without products we will not allow hospitals to go without supplies to save lives. long lines formed outside gas stations where some kinds of fuel ran out while supermarkets reported shortages especially of perishable goods production at many auto factories was carolina just over one million tons of grain could not be shipped out of the ports public transport services were cut in some cities. this is worrying everyone there's no fruit or vegetables at the markets and there's almost nothing it's an absolute shame the markets don't have anything after a full day of negotiations the government to most of the unions reached agreements to suspend the strike the fifteen days the government has offered to lower the price of diesel by ten percent but that will leave it with a bill this year with the economy fragile of more than one and

a quarter billion dollars truck drivers say their income has been hit by higher fuel prices caused by rising world all prices and the weakening of brazil's currency the reality for most of the drivers who want to brasilia never even asked about our demands but they want to reach a kind of an agreement but according to the information we have that are present just look for a meeting where they saw the proposal the government's offer has still to be approved by congress which will debate the issue next week many suppliers say it will take several days to return to normal by which time the tentative truce will be running out and brazil unless a long term settlement can be reached will have to face a similar crisis all over again than a shrine that al-jazeera one of cyrus. still ahead an al-jazeera here remains him are we a year after i was living finds is will push downs of the city in the philippines. and find out why some former rebels in colombia turned away from

a peace deal with the government. hello there we're seeing some very active showers over many parts of southeast asia at the moment the satellite picture is showing plenty of cloud through parts of thailand all the way down through some much or more also seeing one or two showers across java as well java there wasn't looking too bad i think for many of us will see quite a lot of dry weather during the day as we will in the philippines the philippines is also looking mostly dry just a handful of showers coming and going at times during the day over towards australia and we've had some pretty stormy weather around the southwest recently we did have around fifteen thousand people without electricity thanks to this storm system here it's now working its way towards the east for perth and a lot drier a lot calmer than it has been but still a few showers as we head through sunday and into the early hours of monday as well

that system though that will be working its way across parts of south australia and into victoria still with us as we head through monday giving some or all the shop downpours at times over towards new zealand and for many of us here there's a good deal of cloud it's also not that warm look at that in christchurch a maximum temperature just of nine degrees a few bits and pieces of rain in with that as well but largely a cloudy day and that cloud still sticking around as we head through monday still cool for many of us eight degrees again in christchurch a force in oakland will be up to twelve. on counting the cost we'll look at how investors are reacting to the collapse of the trump kim singapore summit. why it's really has. the rest of europe on the rise we look at some of the pressures pushing up the price of oil. counting the cost.

you're watching i'll just zero time to recap our headlines this hour though counting has begun the island after friday's referendum on relaxing laws on abortion exit polls suggest there the seventy percent of people are in favor of repealing what's called the eighth amendment official results are expected on saturday afternoon. u.s. president dog trump says he's had a very productive talks with north korea aimed at getting the summit back on track

canceled the talks on thursday for the second time in less than twenty four hours he said the meeting with kim jong un could still take place on june the twelfth and singapore. made landfall in oman bringing strong winds and torrential rains seven people have died across oman in yemen and forty people are missing. now indigenous people forced to leave their forest homes in kenya are still waiting to return despite winning a court case against their eviction a year ago the people won the right to remain in the forest but the government does not help them to return or paid the court ordered two million dollars in compensation nor have they apologised the organics say the government wanted them out so illegal loggers could steal from their ancestral land. catherine sawyer joins us now from the northwest of the capital nairobi understand celebrations were planned there catherine how things shaping up now while

they are still celebrations we've been seeing in different communities. we don't just have a community here but also many other communities feel equally marginalized and victimized as well and let me just get out of the shots so that you can get clear of the. people that we're talking about this is the community they want. you are we talked about they say that they have a right to believe in them our forest which is that ancestral land they also say that the government is taking too long to respond to that ruling taking too long to implement that ruling they want the government to act fast to be able to give them those rights to be able to say to apologize to them for the. victimization and the vixen from the forest that they've witnessed over the years. this plenty of land

disputes they're all sort of precedent does this. several presidents this is a fast ruling that we've seen from this week and that was set up by the african union back in two thousand and six and it really gives indigenous communities on the continent a voice feel that they can be heard and i think that a lot of communities in africa are watching to see how the government of kenya is going to handle this and it also really is a question of land ownership this is a very important issue very sensitive issue very important to many africans because it gives them a sense of belonging so like i said a lot of communities not just indigenous communities but even larger communities that are still fighting for recognition still fighting for ownership of land and title deeds are all watching this closely and coming back to kenya you know

a couple of months ago we were in western kenya where we filmed another forest community called them where all the fighting similar issues have been evicted from another area and they say that they what they call the government handles this. is going to very much determine what kind of illegal action they are going to take so this in a way this ruling in a way opens up doors to a lot of other communities and also it puts governments in africa. especially when it comes to how they deal with indigenous communities and their rights to live in the areas that they live in. in the southern philippines thousands remain in evacuation comes to battle between the army and fires is inspired by i saw the people of merari flooded as their city was destroyed along with their lives dog and reports now from in the now.

fatima says there were times when she just wanted to end her life for over her children have been missing for years. not a dream of them every night a dream that their bodies are odd thing i wake up i scream i cry a fear that my daughters were raped but i know that we just borrowed our children from. demise of the thousands who fled when the war broke out. many became separated from their families and they now live in evacuation camps. an armed group inspired by ice so called the mouth to to control of the city last year the fighting that followed lasted five.
