12:00 am
now the cell signal is a little patchy but we're going to try to talk to david medicine now he's on his way to the disaster zone david tell us about way you are or how long it's taken to get there bring us up to date ok looks like i actually have just walked up to that is that the circle around there right now they might be in the top tier i'm not sure you can land basically i'm on a highway that connects. to the event people to the coast and that put it. right across tell us what. she married how did the state treated for can right now trying to clear the roads trying to allow the theobald emergency vehicles to get closer to the area that suffered the worst. destruction and i can see those areas here basically when the lava comes down from that's from the gulf they know as a rule that only follows but it got pushed off the roof because of some heavy rain
12:01 am
and it basically came right through this village on the side of the highway people were saying they pulled around twenty nine bodies out of this area so far in the last. two and still continues to try to find survivors even though that's looking more and more remote all the time but it's a very public scenes here actions covering all of the trees here leads that were once green vibrant are not. lots of people with well backpacks you know they've filled up carpets running that they can fit all their belongings into and they're walking out of here so not much hope here in the town of evelyn or oh i just started on to guatemala david tell me more about the sort of atmosphere there i mean the pictures tell an extraordinary story but i'm trying to imagine what it's actually like being in there breathing it in feeling it it experiencing.
12:02 am
well the first thing we have to do is wear a dust mask have to take an option right now but there is the whole can of dust everywhere it's covered absolutely everything you can say to the rescue workers that i can see right now they're covered in the fall. and it's certainly a lot of people here trying to trying to trying to cover bodies or search for search during the missing so there's certainly no shortage of people but i think right now there is also some worry that some of the ground could be unstable there was another lava flow this morning which sent rescue workers in media running and so now they're being very cautious very careful about just how far they can access but it's quite an apocalyptic apocalyptic scene just very very bleak and grey out here right now quite a cloudy day as well. but in so far the volcano hasn't been erupting we don't see much smoke coming from it so that's certainly a good sign and no rain which is also it's on extraordinary thank you for that
12:03 am
david but you guess moscow you just might pick on ben david mercer in guatemala. for some expert opinion we spoke to david roth areas of o'connell just professor at the open university in the u.k. who told us it's not actually the lava flows that poses the biggest danger have a listen. there's a pirate trusted slows a lover is molten rock relatively slow moving lots about erupting in hawaii at the moment what's how what happened at the way you go is an explosive eruption and it was a fast cascade of fragmented hot rock and gas sweeping down the mountainside troubles of one hundred kilometers an hour very difficult to escape from and it's coming towards you and that seems to be what killed the people in the case of flake oh it's it's been. particularly active on new year and the have been some smaller events. with hindsight people might start to ask why were people not evacuated
12:04 am
because people were killed tooling the fields if this is being in indonesia people would perhaps have been evacuated before her seismically it has gone quiet so there's limited information good i can see from the quotes in my book knowledge is they are suggesting that the eruption is over and there is more of these amazing pictures from the eruption in guatemala or al-jazeera dot com and in pictures gallery which has been speedily put together by the online tame it is hard to imagine without actually experiencing it isn't it but reports from david in these pictures close as you can get to it have a look for the in pictures section it is in the main top menu at al-jazeera dot com . and now taking a look at social media hundreds are expressing their condolences and sorrow for the lives that have been lost and so far we've seen more than three hundred thousand tweets about the situation since the volcano erupted many are using the hash tag a volcano for
12:05 am
a go and pray for the tamala most of it is coming from people there and in neighboring countries like mexico honduras el salvador and ecuador officials say this is the most violent eruption from sway go in more than four decades well chris the jarrow was hiking just when the volcano erupted and this is what he posted on facebook. i don't have any update but it's raining water and there is an old smelly yeah well he was close enough to the volcano that he managed to get these shots of the thick plumes of smoke and ash raining on the area and seeing the sheer magnitude of the smoke was one thing but listen to the sound of this powerful eruption.
12:06 am
meanwhile other videos showed rescue teams working overnight into the morning searching for survivors and attending to charred bodies of victims and the injured the government says it will make sure that people have the latest information on the volcano. from responding to emergency calls to offering assistance to residents we're here to help we're also setting up our operations center at a local school so that our government agencies and even the president of guatemala can access the latest information. well over one million people are now affected by this irruption and many of them are now currently in relief shelters but some people online like astrid urging people to retreat about what tamala instructing them to point out the central location where items like food and clothing can be found like this post which refers to pine info university now in terms of international assistance israel's foreign ministry tweeted that it will be sending emergency aid including medicine and food as well and the red cross is also sharing
12:07 am
this post online informing people of the risks you could suffer from symptoms like difficulty breathing and also skin allergies so they recommend that people stay indoors where a face mask i go goals and also to wash their hands and they're also asking for donations but i must point out though that there are some pictures being shared at the moment about guatemala that off ache this one is actually of hawaii's kind of way a volcano which has been erupting for for weeks now and has forced thousands of people from their homes well if you are currently in guatemala or hawaii you get in touch with us and let us know what's going on there connect with us on any of the platforms using the hash tag a.j. news grid thanks we're here and you're just as rita said the killer whale volcano on hawaii's big island still erupting we have got a what we call a when why and what's what is it when one what's next for you down to zero dot com with more of those incredible pictures and videos of the slow moving rather which
12:08 am
is causing out havoc on the on the team keeping that one up to date all the time that is hawaii's killer whale volcano and al-jazeera dot com. well as the weather improves into the summer migrants are once again risking everything in their attempts to reach europe six hundred sixty have died in the mediterranean sea this year already more and more groups are setting off from tunisia because a lot of control has been tightened in libya they're often aiming to get to italy officials there say the crisis is putting huge pressure on their already struggling economy and they want the e.u. to do more to help italy far away bears the brunt of the migrant crossings these numbers are from twenty sixteen and twenty seventeen and while there was a big drop off in the number of people reaching greece that's down here italy has stayed consistently high close enough to one hundred thousand arrivals in the first six months of both years and not just arrivals but unfortunately deaths as well these circles you say they represent the number of dead or missing refugees on the
12:09 am
three main roads and we're going from twenty fifteen to twenty seventeen and they were massive numbers of lives lost heading to sometimes seven hundred fifty six hundred seven actually just drawn over that have a six hundred seven at a time and so if these new interior minister has made a declaration that the italian island of sicily in the south will no longer be what he calls europe's refugee camp his promise to fast track deportations for those who arrive in italy illegally because these are emergency centers my interest is to work in order to reduce the number of people arriving and increase the number of deportations this isn't easy to do nor is it possible to do in a quarter of an hour but in the coming weeks we want to give new signals to cut costs and coat migrant detention generations has learned or now director of major in communication at the international organization for migration he says in order to prevent migrants from risking their lives it is the situation in their home countries than it is from perth. if there are people who are in need of protection
12:10 am
from persecution asylum seekers then that they need to be given the protections urgently as possible before take going to see because obviously they can lose their lives as we've seen and there's no protection and that obviously there's been across the board efforts to prevent or star smugglers taking advantage and exploiting them and as they do that the smugglers take the more desperate measures are they trying new markets at the moment the biggest number of people crossing to italy are coming from china is the that's relatively new and it's surprising to many but in the day he will see a better life whether it's on their smartphone or they hear about it from their friends and they want to try it if they feel they are stuck where they are at the moment there are all sorts of efforts being made but the bottom line is that people are leaving whether because they are in dire economic straits are because they just simply want to better life and they feel that their economy isn't doing very well
12:11 am
people are tempted to move for all sorts of reasons and under the undeniably the way to improve that is to prove the development improve the participation of the governance in these countries so that people stay and see a hope and a future in their own country. well france has also seen an influx of migrants especially in the last three years then their makeshift camps are popping up around paris so for the second time in less than a week police in the french capital have cleared up the camps hundreds of people have been living in that temporary accommodation last wednesday police moved more than one thousand people from another camp underneath the main paris ring road the interior minister said they're being relocated for security reasons and for general welfare those who will forced to leave were taken to shelters across the city just a note as well for tomorrow immigration will be one of the main topics at a meeting of a u. interior ministers in luxembourg on tuesday they're expected to discuss the dublin role you might remember this is the law which says migrants must seek asylum in the
12:12 am
first european country that they enter of course that means that it is the nations in the southern part of europe the ones like italy which end up taking in the bulk of the migrants that's where they arrive first and basically says that is unfair for those southern mediterranean countries one more thing obviously so much migrant and refugee related content of al-jazeera dot com but i've chosen this one it's showing on air on the channel at the moment and every it's a very good watch called the new germans it follows newspaper editor and syrian asylum seeker rami scheck as he looks into the historical patterns of arab immigration and how all these latest arrivals are being received in germany it's a special one of al-jazeera documentary as you see the new german's that's all you have to search for at al-jazeera dot com. thank you for getting in touch with us lots of you talking about the jordan story. see people who i think probably live in jordan actually alley i think this is from facebook life facebook dot com slash
12:13 am
al-jazeera who said you know there's a big problem in jordan when it's more expensive to live in amman than it is i think that is the feeling that people have got there that it's difficult enough to live there at the moment and how the government wants to put price hikes and taxes in place and it's only going to make their life more difficult probably heading to sunset around roundabout now in jordan so we will see later on as they come out and protest again for a sixth night another facebook live coming to jordan ultimately witnessed will ultimately witness regime change this person thinks it's good otherwise the whole system will break down to keep your thoughts coming in your comments your questions your contributions the hashtags a.j. newsgroup on twitter facebook and whatsapp this is the news group if you're watching us on facebook live at some of those years where we've got next story coming up for you how some people are beating loneliness just one step at a time but from our friends it educate us and then later almost a year in fact since i saw it was defeated in iraq but recovering bodies in the city of mosul it is still going on we're going to take a look at the obstacles that those crews face.
12:14 am
hello there we're so plenty of showers across many parts of the middle east on the satellite picture you can see the cloud here over parts of iraq also iran and then stretching its way up working its way across tashkent and into mati so we're seeing some fairly shop showers out of this system particularly in the northeastern part of om up and it looks like there's showers are going to stick around as we had to choose day of wednesday two more showers as well through the northern parts of turkey gradually rattling their way towards the east and some of these have been pretty lively recently they have given us some flooding in georgia and we're likely to see some more heavy downpours over the next few days further towards the south and the showers in yemen have eased for now but instead we're seeing the cloud begin to build over the for the pause or of a man so for some of us and see a lot of will be quite grey the chance of seeing
12:15 am
a little bit of drizzle the weather and maybe the old shower at times as well further towards the south of a many of us across the southern parts of africa is fine and dry this latest weather system is now moving its way away from us and that's good news because this developing it's really putting itself together looks quite distinctive on our chart for tuesday it will throw a few showers towards the southern parts of madagascar but other than that it will be largely unaffected a few showers will also be heading further north over parts of mozambique but for the west it's getting dry.
12:16 am
the worlds pollinate says are in decline. in this episode of trying we meet entomologists on opposite sides of the planet protecting insects of all sizes crucial to preserving food chains. i've come to the u.k. to see how old industrial sites are being turned into bug reserves in an attempt to reverse this worrying trend. fighting insect to get on on al-jazeera.
12:17 am
the headlines from al jazeera dot com and what's turning out something like this must be over the u.s. steel tariffs situation which probably come to a head again next week when we have to g. c. g. seven leaders summit more on the resignation of the jordanian prime minister and at number five one year on qatar stronger after the blockade we've got more coverage coming up on this one year almost one year anniversary of the g.c.c. crisis that's what's trending at al-jazeera dot com this monday. monday morning it
12:18 am
is right now in the united states and the president's been busy on twitter we are very conscious of not jumping every time donald trump. picks up his phone but there's been a couple of interesting tweets this monday started with some self congratulations this is my five hundredth day in office and we have accomplished a lot many believe more than any president in his first five hundred days massive tax and regulation cuts military invents lower crime and illegal immigration stronger borders judgeships best economy jobs and much more lots of capital letters there and well there were seven more tweets as well each on a different topic so we're going to talk to kimberly how could about this like i say can we don't jump every time but a couple of interesting ones here let's start with well talking about pardoning himself right this one certainly got a lot of people a little nervous a little uncomfortable why is the president talking about the ability to pardon himself and his belief that he does have that ability to self pardon it's kind of
12:19 am
an extension of a legal strategy this been going on for a while now but intensified on sunday when the president's attorney rudolph giuliani his lawyer speaking on some of the sunday chat shows in fact making this very argument saying the president does have the ability to self pardon something we know has been discussed months the legal team for some time as a result of a letter that was leaked to the new york times showing just that but essentially president trump's attorney saying yeah the president has the right to do it it's not necessary that he's going to do this but he does have this ability and that something the president also tweeted about saying as has been stated by numerous legal scholars i have the absolute right to part of myself but why would i do that when i've done nothing wrong will certainly the president has said repeatedly with regard to the special counsel probe into rush inclusion and obstruction of justice that there are in the part of the president he says there has been no collusion. ok
12:20 am
let me check the next one i've got here for a special counsel in this case but with a c c c. what do you think it was in the appointment of a special counsel is totally unconstitutional and exclamation marks and capital it is. well the president's not a lawyer we know he's not a constitutional lawyer but i'm pretty sure that the constitutional lawyers are debating right now what we do know is that in the united states there are equal branches of government the judiciary the executive the legislature that's the executive behind me us congress is the legislative branch those are equal branches that means that the president can't just randomly decide out of the u.s. constitution what can or cannot happen so here's how it works if the president wants to be restrained the u.s. congress are rather if the congress wants to restrain the president they can do that what would happen is the house of representatives would impeach the
12:21 am
president's been done before in the bill clinton years and then the said it would remove the president here's another thing we have to remember is we're talking about the constitution presidential powers the justice department to back in one nine hundred seventy four we're talking about the nixon political corruption scandal his resignation the justice department in fact said no one no president can judge their own case in fact a president cannot pardon himself there's some historical precedence there and i can also tell you the president tried to do any of the things he's discussed on twitter given the divided political column in the united states there would be widespread and rest the president probably should not follow some of the advice of these tweets he's put forward this morning well done keeping a girl said all can be can be how gets our white house correspondent here we are at the long haul having a look at what's happening what is happening there's a meeting going on in washington d.c. actually this is the it's the organization of american states hoping to hear from.
12:22 am
mike competitor from that there's a lot to discuss in the americas not just the trade tariffs are plenty happening in places like nicaragua and venezuela so just keeping an eye on that one representative from costa rica speaking at the moment ok here's susan more international news from london now. i ask them all at least seven people have been killed in a suicide bombing in afghanistan's capital kabul it happened as thousands of religious scholars who were leaving a gathering of the city's polytechnic university earlier in the us to decree against the war in afghanistan and the taliban to accept the government's peace offer no group has yet said it was behind the attack jennifer glass has more from kabul. the bomb went off as hundreds thousands of islamic scholars and clerics were finishing their meeting in what we call the jirga tent the loya jirga tent to really a conference hall in kabul as they were accident after a meeting where they condemned of the ongoing war as an islamic and condemn suicide
12:23 am
bombers a bomber went off at the gate the entrance to that gathering where more than two thousand five hundred religious leaders had gotten together to try and persuade the taliban to come to the peace table to accept what the president calls an unconditional offer for peace talks now and just as we heard news of that bombing another bombing in town a smaller bomb went off in a truckload of watermelon that injured three civilians it seems that over and over again we hear these stories we are reporting these stories that either the taliban or i saw are setting off bombs or attacks here in the afghan capital and around the country really a sign of how difficult it is for the afghan government to maintain security of the taliban growing influence around the country despite fifteen thousand u.s. and nato troops as well as a large force of afghan security forces fighting very hard and losing men all over
12:24 am
the country it's been a brutal fighting season and the attacks continue here in the afghan capital. where the gaskets president says he's appointed a new prime minister christiane who's currently a senior official at the un the former prime minister olivier maha filey resigned earlier in line with a court ruling ordering the formation of a new government now they've been in the grip of a protracted political crisis the defense minister warned the military could step in if a new prime minister wasn't found. the president of spain's catalonia region has been meeting the jailed leaders of october's failed bid for secession came torah visited the nine leaders a few days after his government was sworn in he was handpicked by former president carlos push to mount tora is pushing for talks with spain's new prime minister sanchez on the catalan region's future from madrid david chaytor has more. the newly installed catalan president spent more than two hours in conversation that
12:25 am
this prison complex behind me where the five of his former colleagues who are awaiting trial in september and will remain behind bars in custody here now he wanted to talk tactics with them he wanted to make sure that he understood what their feelings were and but of course the main diplomatic focus on this visit comes about the opportunity to open new negotiations with the new socialist prime minister dr sanchez but of course it was confirmed that the two men had been in contact they haven't talked but i think they act actually shane's text messages by phone and this is what he had to say about i think. we have exchanged messages and agreed to meet as soon as possible it's important for me to emphasize that we are going through an exceptional situation in this country we want to know what type of prime minister we're going to find the one who can damage the independence referendum. but of course there are many rallies the last one held
12:26 am
in the spanish capital over the weekend who are saying that the the no confidence vote in the ouster of money on the voyage was nothing but a constitutional truth d'etat and they want. they want us actions they say and a prime minister should be elected and with a majority no majority a tool to cobble together about one hundred eighty votes but there are only eighty four votes in the socialist party out of a three hundred fifty seat parliament so it looks like in the coming days and weeks it's going to be very difficult for the new socialist prime minister to keep that government together to get any sort of government business done it really is a very fragile coalition and it looks like that that right wing belief and hope that there will be new elections could come even soon of the many people expect.
12:27 am
the president of the philippines rugger deter today has once again found himself at the center of controversy and was either a sexist abuse of power or a harmless kiss. the seventy three year old president invited a woman onto the stage during an official visit to south korea and also to kiss him and exchange for a copy of his book is told the crowd it was all a bit of fun rights groups are denouncing the case and pointed to deter tapes record of derogatory remarks about women that fell from a now about to come on in doha thank you so. we're all quite offended by the goodness gracious me. what was it to do next i've lost my train of thought we've actually got some breaking news you know going to believe this this is from the u.s. geological survey have got their web site up now an earthquake just off guatemala this is just happened in the last ten minutes or so it is highlighted here if it
12:28 am
will highlight it doesn't want to there we go one hundred five kilometers off the coast and it is magnitude five point two so an erupting volcano on the on the country initial country and now an earthquake off the coast a depth of ten kilometers they're saying so we'll keep an eye on that not hearing any immediate reports that is as you say off the coast but what extraordinary bad luck you have to say a volcano and an earthquake within twenty four hours now we are approaching the one year anniversary of the blockade on qatar and this monday we're looking at the international impact u.s. president donald trump initially back to the blockading countries that is saudi arabia the u.a.e. behind in egypt before calling on all sides to then resolve the dispute but there's also been a big effort within the united states to win support for cutter political hine in washington d.c. looks at the role of lobbying has played. the nation of qatar on
12:29 am
fortunately has historically been a funder of terrorism it was a shock in washington and across the globe a u.s. president publicly going after cutter a close ally that houses the biggest u.s. base in the middle east siding with the blockading countries. at the time many believe the saudis fawning treatment of him in riyadh played a part but we now know thanks to e-mails leaked to the associated press that the push to get the president to side with saudi arabia and the united arab emirates began months before the emails are from elliott brody a big time republican fundraiser according to the a.p. he was working with george nader who said he was close to both of the crown princes from saudi arabia and the u.a.e. broady reportedly lobbied the president and later received hundreds of millions of dollars worth of defense deals from the u.a.e. in one email bertie boasted about his role writing trumps vocal support of saudi arabia at this summit quote is
12:30 am
a direct result of the campaign we have led over the past two months to highlight the funding of terrorism by qatar and the muslim brotherhood brody is suing cutter he says they hacked his e-mails a charge they deny but cutters facing more scrutiny because of another court case prominent guitars are being sued by rapper ice cube he says they didn't pay him as promised in a business deal and his partner testified that they tried to use them to get to steve bannon in testimony describing their offer as a bribe which they also deny all sides of spent millions of dollars on lobbyist trying to sway the traffic in a straight line country in the gulf region is a threat to global security are put ads in the president's favorite cable channel placing op eds in prominent papers lobbying lawmakers stand with the united states to defeat terrorism and. there are a lot of guys who are making an awful lot of money and mr former lobbyist stephen billet thinks they're likely waste. millions of dollars because you never really
12:31 am
see any evidence of it later on you know you'll see decisions made at a later time that indicate that there was a positive outcome according to the new york times the saudis and u.a.e. offered to help the drone campaign before the election it's unclear if anything was done on his behalf with their money but it's an allegation special counsel robert muller is likely looking at the man at the center of many of these questions george nader is cooperating with the investigation. al-jazeera washington and some are to say as well as for news great you can join me for a special program eighteen hundred hours g.m.t. it'll be nine pm here in doha as we look back at the impact of the gulf crisis on tuesday it will be exactly one year since it began. now governments are always looking for ways to make money that's just how it works but malaysia's governments come up with a pretty unusual way of trying to bring down its huge national debt or yours thank you they're turning to crowd funding much of the conversation online is about
12:32 am
whether this campaign can help malaysia's economy and in fact is some sort of quite well with people giving nearly two million dollars in the first twenty four hours after authorities announced the malaysia hope fund of the goal is to raise enough cash to help repay the country's two hundred and fifty billion dollars debt well the idea came from twenty seven year old nick bhakti she recently set up a private crowdfunding initiative and raised around three thousand five hundred dollars just before the government then stepped in now malaysia's finest minister insists that the fund will be transparent and the statement he added that the people voluntarily want to share their earnings with the government to help ease the burden now after taking office last month prime minister mahathir mohamad promised that the country's debt would be a priority and the finance minister has accused the previous government of the
12:33 am
result of deceiving people about malaysia's financial situation and we've been talking to malaysia's including some ciena who thinks the fund is a great idea i fully support the effort of government in each being there. i believe they're fine we were somehow able to help the government in paying the loons our debts. the country is having at the moment and the malaysian three. really germans or east. are united. well there are others that don't think this fund raising will have much of an impact. the fun is not necessarily to own the vamps of the malaysia but is to provide a platform for malaysians who wish to show down solidarity who wish to show their support for the government in this initiative and yes some on line like who says
12:34 am
that you can't help pay malaysia's debt by paying off your loans pay your taxes and work very hard to increase the country's productivity so we can earn more not by confident doing like this and that i'm sure as a yes debt for a country is normal but it's the sense of belonging that this is creating which is amazing well those who don't give money those who give the money i mean will not be getting their money back and it's also important to note though that malaysia isn't the first country to ask a citizens to help clear the national debt south korea did the same thing in one thousand nine hundred seven during their financial crisis well if you are currently in malaysia to get in touch with us use the hash tag or message me directly about reema khalid interesting story that one thank you for that regular we're going to iraq now where still the search in eleven months now on from the defeat of eisel and rescue teams are still pulling bodies out of the ruins of the city of mosul his chance transfer the report. it's been eleven months since iraqi prime minister
