has been sick for days and says she would have liked to stay at home but that's not an option for her because there's no food there so she had to come here to an aid distribution center to register and get food all of their lives. i've had a fever and headache for days and then came the car but it had to come here to get food if not the only thing i can have is porridge so i came to get aid. simon is one of more than one hundred thousand people in my own county who rely on aid civil war in south sudan has forced seven million people more than half of the country's population to depend on aid the war started in twenty thirteen when president salva kiir accused his former deputy rick machar of attempting a career tens of thousands have been killed and a third of the twelve million population displaced landing guy had to walk for two days to come to my own for eight she also says she's not feeling well. my back hurt

my kidneys hurt we get to space to go to the bush suffer from hunger and get sick i've seen people die in the bush due to hunger and diseases like diarrhea hundreds of thousands of hunger related deaths were reported last year when famine was declared in south sudan and while the famine is over there are fears that the figures will rise. millions of thousands are suffering from food shortages and as a result many are getting sick with violence and the rainy season slowing down aid operations they are concerned that preventable diseases will instead become fatal the un has recently threatened to extend sanctions on south sudan if the fighting continues there is fighting all over this state and these are farmers who have led to this place their land is not being killed at the moment and that totally dependent on this crude date that had to be brought here by air drops is a desperate measure in desperate times in this. south sudan area

where we've seen food drops now for twenty nine years what is needed here is peace it's reconsideration peace that may seem calm and many others like her not get sick simply because they can't get enough food to remain healthy people morgan al-jazeera my own county in south sudan. let's go to guatemala now in central america where the worst may not yet be over new evacuations have been ordered where the mount trager volcano has been spewing even more lava at least seventy five people have been killed hundreds more are missing after sunday's eruption rescuers have been sifting through hot ash in search of survivors while many have chosen to flee entire villages have been destroyed. many people have left my neighborhood everything is silent shops are closed pharmacies are closed there's no bakery bret's tools are closed. well rescue efforts have been put on hold until the

volcanic activity calms down more than one point seven million people have been affected by the crisis yet. we were working on the search localization and recovery of the deceased here in the san diego area when we suddenly heard the alarm by the commander telling us to evacuate so we all headed to the highway where we gathered now. lost five members of my family five of them and i haven't found them. i don't sell it but my brothers managed to get out but they lost everything my brothers were never told anything when they fell to the lava from the volcano was less than four meters away. more now from our correspondent david. which is close to the volcano. the acid is still incredibly hot the ash i mean there's a couple of metres of ash that have covered this entire town and it's very hot you feel it coming up through the soles of your feet if you don't have proper boots on and it can really it can really lead to a lot of heat blisters and things like that so they've got these hot conditions

we're down near the coast of guatemala or in the tropics of course there's the sun and the general heat they're having to contend with and then there are these other explosions so you know you just start getting work working on getting a house dug out and then suddenly you hear a whistle and you have to run out and hop in a car and drive down to the highway so that's certainly hampering issues and then the other thing i'll just mention quickly i don't know if you can see the flashes of lightning around me at all or you can hear the thunder we're in rainy season here in guatemala and flash floods are common at this time of the year and so if the heavy rain comes down and enters into some of these valleys up on the volcano that can lead to massive mudslides or it could really further volcanic the jury also launches of different risks and lots of different dangers for their emergency workers challenges for them in the coming days and coming weeks and why is can a way of ok now which has been erupting for weeks now has destroyed more homes overnight to entire communities on the big island and now displaced there are no

immediate reports of casualties but that's still unsure how long this eruption is going to last for. still to come on this al-jazeera news why it's taken ethiopia eighteen years to accept to board a decision that ended a costly war with eritrea. all protests in july dislike the king's assets to address people's anger. i would just say were we to go into the world cup egypt that confident that mohamed salah will be set to play jail will have the details coming out in school. days here if he has agreed to abide by an agreement that. was signed in two thousand that ended its war with eritrea now that decision awarded the border town of bad made to eritrea but ethiopia stayed in control of this town now the

government says it will withdraw its forces charlotte ballasts reports. it was may nine hundred ninety eight when clashes broke out between the eritrean military and ethiopian police patrols near the town of bad me bad me was in a disputed border area which at that time was under the control of ethiopia within a week. eritrea sent soldiers and tanks to attack bad me and over the next two years the conflict spread to long almost the entire ethiopia eritrea border the war ended in december two thousand with the algiers agreement a commission to decide blame and claims for the war each country presented their position ethiopia charge that eritrea attacked military and police units as well as civilians it says eritrea killed and injured its people by shelling mines murder rape detention and abduction eritrea says it was acting in self-defense as ethiopia was unlawfully occupying its territory the claims commission concluded that eritrea

was to blame for starting the war and had invaded ethiopia in may one thousand nine hundred ninety eight but it drew up new boundaries that put bad may in eritrea and territory deemed ethiopia had to give it back ethiopia for the decision and its troops refused to leave bedmate until now sixteen years later ethiopia's ruling party under the leadership of a new prime minister agreed to honor the decision it is. a difficult a decision because more than seventy thousand lives are secure right there in darkness and after all of the war is going to last giving up a but the man who is a little bit creating a discontent in ethiopia but for eritrea it's a victory africa's unfinished war is finished the day will get bad me the small town that started this conflict. right now we can speak to a lemon who is editor in chief of the ad

a standard that's an online english language magazine he's joining us via skype from for. in germany thank you very much indeed for talking to us now we knew that the new prime minister. going to restore peace with eritrea he said so in his maiden address to parliament but it didn't really come as a surprise that he announced withdrawal from about me no but you know we've been following what to he was doing so far for those who are following this doesn't come as a surprise of course as expected. it's deeply divided but . this isn't a surprising announcement because most people would like to have an end to this no war no peace state that the two countries south lived in for the last sixteen years so why is opinion likely to be divided in ethiopia on this matter and surely restoring peace with the neighboring country is

a good thing. well it's important to understand that quite a significant number of ethiopia decide not only disapprove of the decision of the boundary commission but also that they disapprove. you know the decision to see their trip from ethiopia. you know they're referring to the one thousand nine hundred one has not been fully accepted by a lot of its europeans so they were you know the division of opinion here this dates back to the one nine hundred ninety four decision to be very trad its independence from ethiopia so and to that is the issue of port asset which many therapists claim as the natural gets way too to ethiopia and the historian says the debating about that historic mistake ethiopia made it's a city of a low is an attractive they're trying territory so opiates are still divided and that wasn't the only extraordinary announcement to come from the first day of the executive committee meeting and this was it they also had lifted the state of

emergency and furthermore announce measures to liberalize the economy shattering a lot of the state monopoly as which many of have said have actually hindered the economy in the ethiopian so an awful lot of change was announced. it is of course i mean the pace in which recent announcements are being made prime minister began it came to power. it's quite quite cross that we're struggling to cope with spent. remember these are not the decisions that the prime minister is making overnight i think the party that he's a chairman to has been preparing the ground for that it happens to be that it's during his reign that they're announcing the sat this decision and i still believe this is a party decision send the former prime minister highly might have decided you also give a hint a few weeks ago that he initiated the liberalization of the economy and that he

hoped the executive council of the party the p.r. event would approve of that so this is not a decision that i made is doing overnight this is a party decision i think the biggest challenge is not there what's now we know what it is but it is the how and how they go about it and what kind of procedures that they will be following as they go around this drastic changes implementing the stressed changes so they're laying them out talking to us live from frank thank you very much. israel's prime minister heads to the u.k. to meet the british prime minister theresa may benjamin netanyahu has been touring europe he wants to convince all of its leaders to pull out of the iran nuclear deal so far though his efforts haven't completely paid off in france at least as the touchup up to now explains. benjamin netanyahu i arrived at the lease a few talks with a man who will not call just a few hours off iran had announced it was increasing its uranium enrichment

capacity the israeli prime minister said the move was proof that tehran weapons netanyahu is in europe to either leaders to stop supporting the twenty fifty iran nuclear deal. and a cool that he's convinced will collapse i didn't ask france to withdraw from the just because i think the jews who is basically going to. be dissolved. by the way the economic forces but i think that there are two possibilities either iran dismantles its nuclear activities unilaterally under this pressure or there may be in the future in negotiations for better. a better deal the french president said the iran nuclear deal wasn't perfect but should remain the basis for a wider agreement to his own because there's a need if we think it's not enough but it's a useful building block better than what we have a full of the best things to keep it because as we say

a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush with you so i agree with you c.p.o. isn't enough but it's better than what we had before all iran says it's boosting its uranium enrichment in case the twenty fifteen deal collapses the head of iran's atomic agency said it informed the united nations that book had begun our home court rule of austerity right now ideological infrastructure and utilities in the towns are ready for hundreds of thousands of asked w. years. the deal limited iran's nuclear activities in return for lifting sanctions united since the us withdrawal last month european leaders have been trying to salvage it and find ways to block looming u.s. sanctions european leaders all struggling to save the iran deal and some analysts say the tehran's decision to increase the pressure on the now may only make it harder iranian officials are not seeing much rush in the. decision making process

that's what they want to keep all options available and at strategic levels that means also a threat to the europeans not to you know hit with iran not to joke with iran the french president has called for a deescalation of tensions on all sides but unless european leaders come up with a plan to save the deal soon and keep u.s. sanctions a bay iran's patients with his allies may soon run out and sasha al-jazeera paris. they may have had a lot about the upcoming summit in singapore between donald trump and kim. now we know more of the detail as to where the meeting that take place every post let's just cicle challenge is such an event. with the date set the starting time confirmed we now know the location for donald trump and kim jong un's first meeting the ultra exclusive capella hotel singapore's sentosa island a colonial era building transformed into a six star hotel by renowned british architect norman foster the decision has

amounted to being the choice has not just been about security to see but on top of the hard security considerations it's also been about the aesthetics the optics of the summit as well this is a hotel that sits right smack in the asia pacific right by the same time it has cost more politan western story to it so east and west if you like it's been reported that the north korean delegation favored the hotel and sentosa when they were in town last week negotiating with just some singapore's resort island of sentosa is known for its beaches casinos theme parks and golf course with the personal interest of these two leaders a perfect setting for the summit or even a joint family holiday the city state has set up two special event areas that will start just before the leaders arrive sentosa island will be one as well as the waters off its southwestern beaches where the capella hotel sits and another one about nine kilometers away in the tangling area of singapore this is where the

shangri-la and the st regis hotels are thought to be where the two leaders and their delegations will be staying in the run up to going to see an increased signature of security personnel security equipment but also good income but commensurate with that we're going to see an increase in the chill of the public now that we know what a location is everyone is curious and i think the security operations will have to be have to be brought to bear already in managing the crowd managing v. there will also be a clampdown in the sky parts of singapore's airspace will be restricted during the summit the area building uses the pitch for singapore's formula one race is being transformed into a huge media center more than three thousand accredited media will use the center but thousands more are expected in singapore over the next few days to cover the summit it's got other al-jazeera singapore. and just a moment here with the weather and also coming up on new day

a week. from the fields to the streets in. dozens of workers are rescued after an explosion at a mine in northeastern china. this is no walls. and no president will tell us why stars of the n.b.a. say they would celebrate a title at the white house. and the news from. the weather sponsored by. seasonal rains across china have been really enhanced in the last twenty four hours or so by tropicals still briefly it was told it's not oppression as it was the winds have reduced but it's quite obviously the the white heart of it is given of

a two hundred millimeters on the island of high none now given this is a wet area anyway you get an idea from the line of rain is hardly a surprise is going to enhance it it's not particularly windy one winds eighty kilometers per hour have brought in waves of for me to submissively but they're all dying down but the rainfall potential compared to four hundred men because you're adding to what's already in the system in the next twenty four hours this whole area from granddaughter ranchi through almost up to shanghai to be arts bottom right hand corner we'll see it in hartford at least two hundred images this whole area could produce two hundred they'll be pockets of four hundred expect flooding that this is southern china of course other parts of china are enjoying thoughts different sort of what has been particularly hot recently in beijing forty degrees celsius now that is hot for any weather for beijing the average is thirty and the maximum recorded is forty one for june so obviously this affected people quite

a lot. so whether. it's been one year since it's neighbors imposed a blockade on my land and. a move that shattered the region's two political landscape alliances have shifted and qatar has grown more self-reliant. but what caused the rift between the g.c.c. countries is there an end in sight and can the go for ever be the same again. on a. a new series of rewind bring your people back to life and . i was the first. and the others to. this was my return to kosovo and the little village of one decade on i've come back to find out what

happened to those hopes and dreams on al-jazeera. take a look at the top stories here on the news. of the world cup warm up match against israel in jerusalem after a campaign. did a boycott over the location of the game and in protest against israel's killing of palestinians at gaza's border. new evacuations have been ordered. there after more lava flowing down the mountainside at least seventy five people and then to have

died and hundreds more are missing. the libyan national army has entered the city of after weeks of heavy fighting is led by the renegade general. of the united nations assigned to the agreement with me amal that could lead to the return of refugees from bangladesh and outlined steps towards a voluntary and safe. of some of the seven hundred thousand refugees they fled an offensive by a million miles army which the u.n. has described as ethnic cleansing the u.n. says conditions yet secure enough for the refugees but the deal is an important development. well india's ruling party is under pressure from hundreds of thousands of farmers who are demanding officials help them get more for their produce zero zero zero zero zero. dollars in new england and western the states are in the middle of

a ten day strike spilling their milk and vegetables over the ridge to block the highways and it's already pushed up vegetable prices in some cities by as much as ten percent farmers want the government to intervene by waiving loans and they want them to deliver on promises to ensure that they are paid more ordered. me because i was in the business men are getting richer and families are losing the middlemen not g.d. poor farmers and as the prices are going down the number of farmers committing suicide is going go. let's take a closer look at the issues involved more than half the population works in farming that the average annual income in twenty sixteen for a fall move is less than three hundred dollars more than hoff of farming households are in debt and since ninety ninety five more than three hundred thousand farmers have killed themselves the true figure is thought to be much higher than that and all of this is piling on the pressure on the political parties to deliver on

campaign promises just last week the ruling party suffered defeat in the parliamentary election in uttar pradesh after payments for farm produce were late. well there we can speak to dave chandra his assistant professor of government at georgetown university here in doha and he's here in the studio with me. this farmers comprise such a huge. number of the population in india more than a billion people it's about seventeen eighteen percent and yet they seem constantly to be ignored by him ever is empower yes it's a structural problem in agriculture and truly india in general are being neglected for the last twenty twenty five years and it's not clear which government or which party actually cares about these issues beyond the immediate the next election cycle in a particular state or nationally family was of kind of become

a political football there when you're in opposition this is a card you want to play once you're in power it's not like you actually coming up with the national farm policy on minimum support prices or debt or anything and given that with outlined how many how many the huge proportion of indians who are either farmers or who are dependent upon farming for their livelihoods presumably any political party ignores them at their peril ultimately yes but you know they know the next party over the next politician isn't going to deliver either and i think it has something to do with the pro the pro corporate buyers of the indian economy since liberalization began in one thousand one and i mean this is really the dark underbelly of the economic boom that we've seen in indian cities and globally kind of you know but i mean this is something this is the cost that the vast majority of the population pay for you know the for good fortune of you know twenty to thirty percent of the population and the render major some years ago when

he was first elected made a huge from a sydney in terms of guaranteeing product product prices for the farmers. have not been not the message talking presumably now we're in the election cycle yet again general election is next year this is it going to be made relieving them of their debt for these farmers is that the answer because this seems to be what they're asking for but is that the is that the panacea i mean debt relief is something that every opposition party offers the b.g.p. offered to me u.p.a. elections and it won on that promise actually it stopped the congress party in two thousand and four when they ousted the b j p and accused it of neglect in the countryside so it's something that every party you know every major party has been playing the game the been playing but once they're in power they completely ignore those issues and that's only if you have to wait till the next election cycle so

what is needed i mean it is suggested that ultimately for the country's well being this is a very dangerous policy a policy of ignoring them and neglecting them what is needed in order to reform substantially the agricultural sector i think you need to have a national farm policy and you need to set out what minimum support prices need to be and how they're going to be worked out what's the bargaining structure between farmers and the government between what that what the rules for corporates for example entering drool india i think you need some clear rules land acquisition i think all of these things are kind of you know they're not there's no real answer at a national level certain states are doing well but most aren't so what you need is a kind of national response to what is a kind of widespread agree and crisis and it's not just about this about this about state of or any particular party i think it's it's much bigger than that. thank you

very much indeed. now unions in jordan are holding a one day strike to keep up the pressure over a controversial tax proposal days of protests have already led to the prime minister resigning and. well the king has called for a review of the tax plan opponents say that's not enough. after days of anti austerity protests and the resignation of the prime minister jordan's king abdullah has spoken out on the unrest and what it means for the region in a good you'll motion and then or didn't what i couldn't do anything today's blame cannot be just on the kingdom or citizens a political position in the region played a big role there are many who do not like the jordanian role in the region so this is part of the challenges that we are now facing today but we have confidence in the world and there is a hope the countries will help us in order to move forward we must rely on ourselves and we need to better explain to us citizens these real challenges ahead of us so they can see everything clearly. for most of these protesters it's not

about politics or ideology i guess it would have been enough alienation we need not to travel looking for a job to feed our family we need not to get our education overseas this is our country and it is the right time to feel stable here. the protests in the capital amman have been directed towards the government's plans for tax hikes and austerity measures many of those who have come out are young. while the atmosphere at this peaceful protest appeared almost festive at times the frustration is clear. as mud is an actress she says anyone ignoring corruption in society means they are part of the problem head and what i shall be here to save this country so that people drunk. many jordanian say the message this crowd is sending must be heard lemme see them in a policy that are leading the country to more death and imposing more taxes will

take the country to an unknown time we decided to go to the streets people and youth to put an end to these policies on tuesday king abdullah appointed education minister ahmed eyes us to be the new prime minister and. form of government a former world bank official is considered a leading reformer and his appointment comes after his predecessor and monthly quit amid the growing anger. the protests began after a monthly announced his plans to raise income taxes by as much as five percent taxes aimed at shrinking jordan's thirty seven billion dollars debt the a dependent economy has been struggling with a dramatic cut in donations by the u.a.e. the u.s. and saudi arabia the protesters say they want to make it clear to the government that simply replacing the prime minister will not go far enough. thousands of people have been demonstrating in cities across the czech republic against the appointment of andres bobbish as prime minister for

a second time i has been acting as caretaker since january when his one party minority lost the confidence vote in parliament the billionaire populists is planning to form a government supported by the communist party protests is accuse him of having links to communist era secret police. in china an explosion in a mine has killed at least eleven people in the northeastern city of bend cian rescue is malice to pull out more than twenty workers who were trapped underground mine is in china often face unsafe conditions whilst working underground that the more fallout from donald trump's decision to impose tariffs on u.s. trade allies in retaliation mexico says it'll flop is a twenty five percent on all steel and aquaculture olympos from its nova neighbor the mexican government's also complained to the world trade organization the white house says it may now withdraw from talks to negotiate to renegotiate a should say the north american free trade agreement and deal with mexico and

canada separately. pela is a lesson american political analysts he says although nobody says to gain from a trade war it may be an opportunity for mexico to diversify its economy it's completely a turnaround in terms of how the trumpet ministration is viewing the negotiation the nafta negotiations when nafta was first formulated it was seen as a an attempt to integrate the three economies and the done the trumpet ministration is not seen it in this way it's clear from these actions of creating this trade war that they're trying to see this as a zero sum game in which they're trying to get as much out of it as they can for their own you know particular interests and we're seen the results and it's an escalation of you know with the european union with mexico with canada of this trade war kind of phenomenon i think mexico can withstand

a trade war with the united states obviously it will not be beneficial it's not in its best interest to do so but it could lead towards a diversification of its trade portfolio towards latin america towards brazil argentina china the european union and i'm sure the mexican you know. government has already signaled as much that they would likely do that. they're choosing as the busiest impact the most important election day in the u.s. this year voters in eight states cast ballots to select candidates for november's midterm elections it's seen as a crucial vote for democrats who are eyeing republican controlled seats in the states of california and new jersey hoping to gain a majority in the house of representatives to take back control and block matter president trump's agenda. hollywood producer harvey weinstein has pleaded not guilty to rape and sexual assault charges the sixty six year old appeared in
