controlled by a process and organization that buys and builds homes in occupied east jerusalem now palestinians with homes here have petitioned the high court the state's attorney in the case admitting procedural failings in the way the land was transferred the residents argument is that the ottoman era law which is being used in the attempt to a victim has been misinterpreted that it should have implied ownership only over the buildings that were once lived in by jewish occupants here not ownership of the land it still remains and they point out that in a separate dispute over land elsewhere in east jerusalem the government ruled that land ownership was not conferred by the law judging in that case that a muslim trust shouldn't be awarded the rights to it or get it locks our problem is that we oppose the jewish claims that this area is a jewish and even the court has issued a verdict against the arabs. the right wing jewish organization involved a terror at carni declined our request for an interview on the court case but it is generally happy to promote its work increasing the jewish presence in east

to head to russia the fans were willing to leave it all behind. i hope missy gives the best of him selfe for the national team and i hope that he can pick up the cup which is his dream and the dream of all arjun tines since making it to the final in two thousand and fourteen there's been financial difficulties accusations of political corruption and mismanagement that saw star player you name ac quit the team at one point it appeared as though they may struggle to make it to russia. yet and same team is the only one qualified to the sward cup that had three trainers in the qualifiers we've had a lot of your. nothing. when you have three different training and the last months the situation hasn't gotten any better if we didn't have messi it would be a real mess for the national team but we have

a cup thing with a genius so anything can happen even though we don't have a team we don't have a goal create the mightiest we know. we are going to play so many many questions surrounding the team the latest scandal was when the national team suspended a warmer match with israel prior to the cup many accused israel of moving their match from haifa to jerusalem to reaffirm its claim over the city as israel's capital the argentine football association said it was due to security concerns things have not. been easy for argentina in recent years despite having what many consider the best player in the world in your nail messy but we guard less of the difficulties problems and scandals we have seen it takes seven matches to win the world cup and people here are hoping that this time luck will be on argentina's side. was one of the winners in one thousand nine hundred six he says that times

have changed since then. but the problem for the coaching for the team these days is that there's almost no time to be together to practice and that's bad for the team the players are in different countries it was different in my time. it's been over thirty years since argentina won the cup and even though they're not among the favorites. is the one thing people are not ready to lose yet. time for is a take a look at the top stories here it out there are growing fears of an international trade war as china vows to respond to us tariffs on its goods president trump says hill imposed charges on fifty billion dollars worth of chinese imports and beijing is promising to retaliated the same scale and intensity i spoke with china

very happy i actually they were much happier now they may not be as happy today because of what i'm doing with trade you probably heard that so much been announced by now but we're putting tariffs on fifty billion dollars worth of technology and other things because we have to because we've been treated very unfairly but china's been terrific president she has been terrific. the yemeni government says its forces backed by a saudi m r r t coalition have taken the airport in who data from whom the rebels this vital pull city is the main gate way for humanitarian deliveries and the u.n. has said it should remain open nicaragua's government and opposition activists have agreed to allow an international investigation into the last two months of political violence the catholic church is mediating between the two sides and has called on president danielle ortega to cool early elections but the president has

al-jazeera coming up next it's inside story. the nature of news as it breaks this is one of the areas where protesters had blocked the road using binding higher than anything else they could find with details coverage of this extreme. heat. from around the world this museum aims to be a repository of our region's history and its projected war that has divided tribes here for generations. as the biggest battle of the three years will sell the end the loss to your claims pound area south of yemen is main political data as troops close and rebels remain defiant the un is urging restraint fearing the humanitarian catastrophe but is there any hope of a diplomatic solution this is inside story.

i welcome to the program on the news of a problem the push to say is the portal for that as well and truly on the way the sol the coalition is intensifying its offensive and pro-government yemeni troops edging closer to the city a stronghold of what the rebels they have been casualties on both sides and heavy fighting and how they the itself the population is bracing for the worst lower burden manley has more. yemen's port city of hadera was bustling with people buying food on thursday bought this is also a city bracing for a heavy bombardment and the. people here living in these unemployment are no data there are no jobs the person your looks to me is daily living there would be

a big crisis if the fire china moved into the city and with poverty and hunger and the war the residents would. victims people are dying from hunger the country will be destroyed. the coalition has captured a town south of the data as fierce fighting and as strikes pound the area the u.n. security council has had to closed door meetings this week both concluding that the only solution to the crisis is a political and not a military one the u.a.e. ambassador says there are ships on standby to supply her data once the military operation and even our ships i just. see waiting so we have a fright we have a very we're very well organized and we are ready to. every assistance for. the council meet for further discussions on monday but many analysts agree

that a basket of her data would not draw yemen's three year war closer to an end. supposing that there will be a successful sort of military takeover of there are many questions remain what will happen to other parts of the country you know what will happen to who will run how data what will happen to you know the deep divides among among yemenis i think that you know it's important to recognize that who sees as as a political actor as they were back in two thousand and thirteen fourteen. as saudi led coalition forces a military victory over the strategic port the formerly exiled president of a drop of months a hearty has arrived in the southern city of aden for the first time since february two thousand and seventeen to oversee the operations. but the u.n. wants the attack on her data could kill up to a quarter of a million people and shut down the main route food and humanitarian aid to the rest

of the country this would have a devastating impact on survival of a population already teetering on the brink of famine or about him only al-jazeera or whatever lies on yemen's red sea coast seventy percent of the country's food supplies enter through the port which has been under the control of healthy rebels since two thousand and fifteen the coalition believes its assault on the port is necessary if it's to have an opportunity of retaking the capital sama the risk is it will exacerbate what the u.n. already considers the world's worst humanitarian crisis. least grander is the united nations humanitarian coordinator for yemen and she's joining us on skype from the capital sanaa thank you very much for your time misc randi how concerning is this offensive given who day there's importance to the country. ninety percent of all of the basic commodities that people in europe are

demons depend upon come through the single port of who gate or if there's any cut up the that court even for a long period of time the impact will be immediate and it will be very serious this is one of the reasons that we are so concerned about the military assault on the port in the city were so deeply concerned because the six hundred thousand innocent civilians inside of who dated right now last year in the world's largest color out one of the epicenters was for data and many of the people who are suffering the most in the country are in that city this is another reason that we are so concerned about the humanitarian impact of the assault responded the saudis are saying that they are pending on retaking the airport at the seaport and the route from the whole day that to the capital sanaa but that they have no plans to engage in urban warfare but are you as certain that this fighting is not going to reach the city of six hundred thousand people. if finding were to be in the center of the

city i think we would have to face the fact that impact would be very serious it could in fact be catastrophic who data is very densely populated and if there is a ground conflict then we know that civilians will have very great risk we would probably have to assume that there could be a large number of casualties it's the it's important point for all of the parties to the conflict you know in under international humanitarian law the course of the conflict are large to do absolutely everything possible to ensure that civilians survive they are the one that's responsible for ensuring that people live but unfortunately none of the parties in this conflict same to be doing that we have the and the russians who are saying that they carrying out this operation because the arab coalition could actually better manage the port and the flow of aid what

do you make of that you know how have the who things done as managing the port and have there been any issues with the flow of aid during their control the port of who did the if line for a game in any cutoff of that port as we said earlier is going to have dramatic impact for the past several years as the war has waged the united nations and all of the humanitarian purposes called on the whole of the parties to the conflict to that port open nothing is more important than that right now seventy percent of all of the humanitarian assistance that the united nations frontline partners bring it into the country comes through who dated just five or saying it's got to stay open would you rather the whole thing stayed and control of the port if it meant that there was no fighting. from a humanitarian point of view what matters is that the port is open it doesn't matter who manages the pork it matter is the poor his open and then humanitarians are able to bring in the assistance humanitarians are neutral in the context of the

war what matters is that parties to the conflict do everything that they are obliged to do to protect civilians and assure that billions have the assistance that they need that's what counts and misconduct you've spoken about the impact that any damage to the port could have on civilians and yemen tell us more about this impact you know what does it really mean what does it look like three quarters of all of the people who live in yemen aren't penned up on some form of humanitarian assistance and protection in order to survive there is no other country in the world right now for a larger percentage of the population is dependent on eight out of the twenty two million yemenis who need help eighteen million are food insecure they rely on food that comes in through ports like data and also to ports like aid this is why we are so concerned about the military assault on today that if something happens

to that court if we're not able to bring in food either humanitarian supplies or commercial in ports we know that literally millions of people even will be in a very desperate situation and this is why the u.n. met about this i think they had a meeting for about two hours but did they actually take any action to ensure the safety of civilians and who they the and to ensure that aid and food supplies keep plowing. so the united nations security council yesterday had a closed door session to discuss exactly this issue the security council called on all of the parties to the conflict to do everything possible to ensure that they protect civilians and they make sure that civilians have access to food and medicines that water all the things they need in order to survive you know humanitarian law is a collective responsibility all of the member states the united nations all the countries world are responsible for upholding it so when the security council calls

on the parties of the conflict to do what they are obliged to do what they are undermining is the collective responsibility to ensure that innocents billion survive but again given that the more and potties are not listening to these calls and have not so fall for the better part of the three year war is that enough. you know a number of steps have been taken during the war to protect civilians we have for example it de confliction mechanism in place it includes a no start list of more than twenty thousand locations sir hospital and schools and very important public infrastructure that civilians depend on and or to just by all the parties have agreed not to strike the particular locations we also have agreements in place but all of the parties to the conflict when we leave recruit for example we say to all of the parties we're delivering this food don't strike these areas the second isms have been in place for the last several years they are

largely successful we have also asked the parties to the conflict in the case of david to do the same thing to honor these de confliction requests this is an important medical muslim and it's one of the ways that humanitarian partners are working but the parties to the conflict in the midst of the fighting to ensure that civilians survive a lot misconduct thank you very much for your time on this that is the un's humanitarian coordinator for yemen lisa ground day joining us live from santa thank you. well we're now joined from gothenburg also via skype often asa freelance journalist and yemeni blogger and from sun up journalist hussein advocating a very warm welcome to both of you missed of ok let me start with you the whole things have withstood three yes' all of this of attacks on the saudi led coalition but can they withstand this offensive. i believe they will do all it takes to protect the data or it doesn't mean that if they have been defeated or withdrawn

from other areas like in aden that they will give up this second largest city in yemen so easy. well i mean what that is is really really strange that the all the blame is actually on the whole the they heard i believe the humanitarian coordinator from sanaa she said what matters now is that the fourth estate is this mean that the port actually does. is kind of all been on it brink some humanitarian aid to yemen some n.g.o.s say eighty percent of the aid comes through the port so the hoti existant or present in her day the port does a lot of stock any. of the flow of the humanitarian aid into yemen and the side that should be actually asked and called to stop its of an offensive is this idea that coalition has actually now is that i and to invade the port last or the emma

rashi's are saying that the operation is a critical step towards achieving a political solution to the conflict but does it bring this conflict any closer to a political solution do you think does it change the calculus of the overall war not at all i think the back and forth they've just another attempt by the saudi coalition to bring that into the negotiation table but not really to find a political solution there to they're trying to put the whole nation on its knees actually not only the movies because. for anyone to have control or where a human tyrion. channel is going to have you know the ultimate power to. who is feeding the people and the saudi look coalition has a long history in the course of human war where are many reports really showing in

evidence how they are using food as a weapon of war so i'm not i mean even if the who thieves are the ones remaining the poor open today was still undergoing the world's largest humanitarian catastrophe so absolutely they're not doing their job right and if the the saudi led coalition going to have the upper hand on the court as well we're going to see another theories ordered layer of the human tally and the world's largest humanitarian catastrophe in yemen mr because if the who things do lose control of the sport and they might because this is the largest offensive yet in this three year war what will that mean for their position in the war how much will it weaken them. i mean i don't think. we can hope that it could just

damage. just to the british and that they couldn't maybe defend the border but the hoti i mean are really strong in what they did at this point and in any other area under saudi that coalition has been waging a war on a yemen and on the o.t. for for three years and i believe three months and they haven't actually succeeded in the goals that they have put at the beginning as they say to destroy the hope the military capacity and to the story yemeni ballastic missile that in the hands of the host the before the war there was no attacks on the saudi but now the hoti are launching more missiles on the saudi and we see that the yemeni government actually doesn't dare to go to aid in this as they call it the legitimacy so we don't know what was the point behind this war but what was really good that we had all n.g.o.s and un security security council and the u.

and they all agree on the importance of this lifeline but on the other hand they kind of agree that the the problem is there is from the whole the i was just mentioned that sweden in the un security council has called on all parties to hold open they say so to give time to the whole thing to withdraw from from their sport and the problem is not the whole the the fault was destroyed by the saudi that coalition they have targeted the main cranes in the port and that's why the port cannot only receive small ships into yemen but i can just i'm sure that the whole thing really dug in. and they will fight for data till the death and the one who should bear the responsibility is the one who started this war against them and on of the world this latest of and against her they. let me bring you in you know it is because of the sort of vital importance of the support that we are now

seeing the u.s. reject a request from the iraqi government this week to provide intelligence recognizance aircraft naval minesweepers because of congressional opposition to that offensive do you think that significant given how much the u.s. has supported the south in the coalition so far i think there is a conflicting stance from the american side so you have the congress level there is a rejection or refused to support the saudi led coalition offensive against what they did but at the same time you have triumph and his administration kind of giving a push support to the saudi the saudis and the iraqis so you have a sort of like conflicting stance and my opinion that's very well for them at least there is an aspect of human terry and concerns towards to what's happening in yemen but now the question i think is what's going to happen next if the the saudi led

coalition going to have to win if the court at any cost yeah whether there is a human course or not in my opinion the alarming consequences will be. if ever the battle of they don't open other france for the other battle and in mind comes a battle for i think the timing for there was for a bad and it comes with the thought of thought the leading this military vision from with the help of the saudis and i t's so it's very alarming what is going to happen next what with the battle is going to be negative because absolutely this is just to push with us to the north of yemen and not really. i find that mitigates to sion well i do want to talk more about this battle that we're seeing now and also more about the international actors involved because even if it is you know

somewhat hopeful that the u.s. rejected the iraqis requests for extra supplies at this time the french actually came in and agreed according to the iraqis to provide them with minesweepers to clear explosives that you know the whole things had placed in the midst of a katy you know various countries are saying that they don't want this offensive that they don't want the saudis and iraqis to fight for control of the port but if they're at the same time also arming this coalition and you know you have the united states version from all doing so does the u.n. is the u.n. working so hard on a political solution achieve anything when these powers continue to arm the fighters on the ground. i don't think the united nation has been working really well to a solution. for me personally i believe that the united nations has been biased in

this conflict because one of the first thing that they haven't mentioned the saudi . led coalition name in any of the statement as a part of this war they always say it's a civil war they try to bring yemeni parties together if they mention the saudi as one part and host the as one part of the world government as one part to bring them all to the table then we can help so the coalition responsible for any break of any ceasefire or any agreement in the future and i would just mention about the that the united arab emirates has united states for support in this operation i think this just lies because they do it in the media to cover up the real involved involvement of the united states and its like to say that the united states is not involved the war was declared on twenty six of march two thousand and fifty from the united states by the saudi ambassador and this is the first war i think that has been declared from another another country and i believe that. many many don't

trust the united nation to give up what they'd up or to be under the control of the united nation just for i would give just some example i mean we see that the united nation. and lebanon what they have done they have taken the obvious from the people there who were fighting against the occupation but at the end. the serbian has killed a thousand surprised at the united nations right so i understand there's a very hostile six that i started to who did not know it was not the united nations i understand but what about iran and its role is it doing everything it can to encourage a political solution to this conflict i don't know why they always try to bring iran in the conflict if they blame iran for. sinden weapons of yemen we have this look it is hard to bring this in into yemen how can iran bring those along the lines missile as they say into yemen and this is just an excuse to fight iran the

same they have done it in other country and on the top of that we see that the united arab emirates claim that iran is a could buy in for the island in the village and gold why they have actually forced it on their did this is just they say it's just an excuse to say that iran is involved i mean right about the weapons that they say they united state is bringing all this weapons to the saudi why they kind of tried to tell someone else if it's true why are you bringing the obvious to the other side they should all stop all i mean just we will see what's going to happen in the battlefield or midst of a mess nasser president of the rebel mansour hadi is back from exile why is he back in the country he's been away for over a year now why now i think your question is a telling question. only in yemen when a president is coming back to his country and becomes like a breaking news and that's unfortunately you know a manifestation of the failure of the obama administration in yemen technically

there is no administration and the cabinet is running the country by rebel control from beyond the or egypt or other arab countries so it's very very frustrating about you see a president. now existing in his country but fortunately people and also very happy that he's finally back and i think this all moves are calculated. his coming back yesterday the first day of also and now in yemen and met many other arab muslim countries so he wants to have a certain you know message. to the people that has their especially you know and parent rights to. battle and also not to not forget that yesterday there

was a speech leaked by published the last. days or one day before he was killed and i think that is also another calculated step. drawn from you know trying to influence the yemeni lordly class so we have we don't have very long left in the program and i would like to ask mr k.t. one last question you have thirty seconds what is it going to take to ensure that this offensive is not going to cost the country even more suffering. if the united nations and the un security council will not have but i'm sure on that side that has caused this disaster in yemen which is so the idea let's listen then of course if the water has been brought into the day we will see the last lifeline will be cut and millions of yemeni will be effected the humanitarian aid that you made generalized should not be used as

one of the really special things that working for al jazeera is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much empathy and contribution to a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else working for us as you know it's very challenging the body but the good because you have a lot of people that are divided on political issues we are with the people we live to tell the real stories are just mended is to do we work in-depth journalism we don't feel inferior to the audience across the globe. from. killed ten family members and gone to town a hundred. when the war is possible the people in power i mean it's the women heading an eighteen man militia. and dispensing justice with an unforgiving hand and you know you and i friend ali and iraq on al-jazeera. a history of guerrilla warfare. a place

machinery and coal manufacturing and in response china is vowing to retaliate at quote the same scale and intensity with tariffs on american products and they've published a list of more than six hundred goods many of these come from the agricultural sector and they come from the rural parts of the united states that are at the heart of president trump's political base now the trumpet ministrations says the steps will make the trade relationship between the two countries fairer fronts louis rickles. tit for tat that's one way to describe the first shot in what's brewing to be a tariff war between the world's two largest economies the us struck first with a twenty five percent tax on certain chinese imports worth fifty billion dollars china's counterpunch and announcement that six hundred fifty nine types of u.s. goods also worth fifty billion dollars will be subject to tariffs the first round comes into effect on the sixth of july and affects products ranging from soybean to

seafood to cause their china feels like it's been the strong it's at the strongest point that it's been in hundreds of years it feels like it's ascendant and so it's not likely to back out some of the terrorists will likely bite chinese consumers the high a tax on soybean imported from the u.s. some of which is used for pig feed could ultimately drive up the price of domestic pork but the tariffs could also hurt american farmers if china the u.s. is largest buyer of soybeans find substitute sellers elsewhere u.s. president donald trump has been hammering china on trade for months. his protection everybody take care of. the. child if you look at you just going to look at something and we have these countries militarily and. what point does it stop the u.s. tariffs target industries tied to china's made in china twenty twenty five

a blueprint to dominate high technology industries they're also intended to punish the chinese for what the u.s. calls intellectual property theft and unfair trade practices one trade expert says a u.s. trade battle with china will impact global markets it creates instability. reduces particularly investor uncertainty for long term investors private business capital expenses and these types of things trumps summit in singapore may have strengthened his determination to act for years the u.s. looked to china to help restrain north korea but convinced he has built a relationship with north korean leader kim jong trump perhaps feels he's in a stronger position to be tougher on trade with china the trade war seems to have only just begun trump has threatened to slap taxes on more goods if china goes ahead with the tariffs chinese state media meanwhile says china has taken note of the statement and reserves its right to take corresponding measures torrence three

hour jazeera beijing. let's meet now to an attack on the political and economic analysts is joining us from beijing the first tranches these terrorists don't come into play until july the six there's still a window for china to do what the american administration wants in order to avert this impending trade war will china do that. well i mean there isn't really any way to do what trump wants because no one knows exactly what he's driving at he was talking about intellectual property problems but he cited no cases they tried for over a couple of years to find a complaint ins where they could say that they had been forced into some sort of giving over their intellectual property they haven't been able to do that this is just merely donald trump dropping another media bomb in order to try the oxygen away from his domestic problems and this is a quite

a dangerous game isn't it really to be played bearing in mind the time has something like nine percent of the world's arable land and it has something like twenty one percent of the world's population food imports are absolutely vital that china to china has to worry about this if it goes too far. well i've talked to both the argentine and chile and and also the brazilian embassy is they standing by they're very happy to see the opportunity to export more to china given that landmass that we're talking about in the existing trade and the fact that they have already sort of set up a global supply chain i don't think that that's going to be a large problem i do feel though where the american farmers are going to be hit just as they're going into planting season right do you think that and that the sum total of this that is what we can call it at the moment do you think the sum total of this is going to be an eventual trade war. well this is

a trade war remember you know six weeks ago they started the first tranche. tariffs this is actually the second and donald trump has already said i'm going to course you're we've you push back i'm going to get real serious i don't know how serious is going to get but he i don't think he understands that china has other tools in its disposal for instance the three hundred fifty to four hundred billion dollars that merchandise which is sold in china by u.s. companies who were here in china. the tongue for now thank you very much indeed. by this move to yemen now where the government is saying that its forces backed by a saudi a morality coalition have taken the airport in one day there from here the rebels the yemeni army has published the first images from their location on twitter that
