1:03 pm
millions displaced famine and outbreaks of cholera and diptheria have turned yemen into what the u.n. calls the world's worst humanitarian crisis now an offensive by pro-government forces on what data could result in another quarter million casualties and leave seventy percent of yemen's population without access to food medicine or relief supplies the coalition says rebels have been using the port not only to import food but also ballistic missiles that have been fired at targets inside saudi arabia but the u.n. fears this attack could spark and humanitarian crisis nearly two hundred people have been killed since the offensive for the key red sea port began on wednesday. the u.n. says nearly five thousand families have had to flee their homes to stay alive wasn't really here we were safe at home and pro-government forces and who are fighting continuously we managed to flee but some others were killed and got stuck . displaced yemenis are seeking shelter from not only street fighting but also
1:04 pm
aerial attacks some of the families caught in the crossfire are camping in schools or makeshift shanties you know how. we started walking carrying our children while the apache helicopters hovered above we were not nine with the will be shot or not we prayed we wouldn't get it there was nothing we could do. shuttle diplomacy by un special envoy to yemen march and griffiths hasn't succeeded so far the spokesman has told al-jazeera that the un special envoy has not asked with the fighters to hand over their weapons in return for saudis stopping there are strikes that. the un envoy did not ask to hand over arms in return of stopping the saudi airstrikes he also did not ask us to hand over her data airport the saudi government and the u.a.e. government are lying to people by claiming that the un and voice carrying such demands this is because they are trying to justify their military defeats and
1:05 pm
failures the discussions are part of ongoing search for a comprehensive solution that covers her data analysts believe the best outcome to keep thousands of people from being killed and millions from starving to death is for the two warring sides to reach a ceasefire agreement somehow. al-jazeera. either joins me live now from djibouti tell us what you are hearing about the fighting and have data. well done with. by the united nations to obtain a cease fire visiting there's no letup in the offices on. the soda led coalition. bombardment of the city targeting the airport and some of the both the militias that are still. holed up in that they also help corpses targeting these my place on the rooftops of other buildings some of
1:06 pm
them in presidential areas and this has led to a months of displacement of people on something that could have. led to the un high commissioner for human rights making that statement in which he expressed concern about seeing father civilian casualties in this conflict but so to let coalitions that. taking. off from the movie why this is. one of them want to take it to bring back the government about. the in control of yemen they say they need to. supply routes with the man on the move. up with ease and that is what they the means for them and staying with the humanitarian situation considering its proximity what impact is this having on djibouti.
1:07 pm
well the pope of one of them just behind me. over the years become a humanitarian. but they don't account for seventy. seventy percent of the for human rights in. a huge chunk of it comes through the. almost all. bases here so governmental organizations. that desperation that they have not been able to deliver any sort of aid. to yemen in the past one week since the offensive began. we've been talking to officials of the of the. u.n. children. who say that. to take a. very small scale. that they have
1:08 pm
taken to something because they. allow the ships to talk into the now they say they're considering other options like drops in some of the places where some of them just got out of the population and also bringing aid from neighboring on mon as well as from across the border. of the soda in the cornish thank you for that mohammed let's bring in adam baron specializes in yemen and middle east politics he joins us live from beirut skype good to have you with us so the cease fire it's clearly not working the u.n. is there that's not working either where does it leave it tends to put a stop the fighting. yeah i mean we haven't heard an official statement from martin
1:09 pm
griffiths the u.n. special envoy on the state of the talks that he has been having with the road in sa but at this point it doesn't seem like there's a significant amount of room for optimism that tells you you've got to i mean can you blame the youth is for not wanting to relinquish their weapons which is the trust to so i mean let's face it there's been a complete collapse of trust between both sides the coalition the yemeni government on the earth is probably since the collapse of the quit talks more than a year ago. so at that point it is there is now a very very unsettled unsettled situation now that you've had the talks it appears and doing without without any results this would seem to pave the way for. and off the backs forces as part of the saudi led coalition to support the president up that up on the moving to take hold and push the who is out of the key port city of data and that will be a terrific battle went and considering that they all armed to the teeth many of the
1:10 pm
things rules are living among things civilians there. yeah i mean who did it is a city of roughly seven hundred fifty thousand people while the coalition has openly and privately stated that they aim to avoid engaging in urban warfare there is still a risk of street to street fighting something that will have devastating effect potentially on one civilians particularly since that with is have been quite clear at this for the moment that they aren't going to give up without a significant fight and you may say i don't need a coalition has successfully handled change the balance of power quite dramatically when it. yes certainly and i think that's part of the reason why they're pushing for for this. for this battle forward in order to take her data you've had statements i believe just yesterday. on going to gosh. prominent democrats
1:11 pm
a minister saying that one of the aims of this is to set conditions prior to. some sort of some sort of peace talks so i think the idea is that this can shift momentum onto the side of the coalition shift momentum away from the who it is and perhaps push the who is to make concessions in any future peace talks but let's leave it there adam baron thank you thank you at least twenty eight people have died in an offensive by the libyan warlord targeting oil terminals in the east his forces lost control of the town of ras lanuf on thursday often attacked by rival groups the so-called oil crescent was seized by huffed us forces in twenty sixteen it's get more now from mahmoud a go ahead live in tripoli tell us what the status is on the ground them a whip. well the situation is still very tense in the. area after the clashes that they adopted
1:12 pm
between forces loyal to the former head of the petroleum facilities guards a broom of children and others loyal to warlord have to now. staff in the area says that they have received twenty six bodies of fighters that most of them belong to have to the forces. plus two civilians two girls were killed yesterday in an airstrike launched by. have to his forces and now forces that is the adversary of have to have the forces of all children have taken control of the two major oil terminals and rustler north and is the largest oil terminal in libya with the production capacity of around four hundred forty seven thousand barrels per day and the second largest oil terminal is
1:13 pm
also in the hands of forces. of oil terminal with the production capacity of around two hundred twenty thousand barrels. a day now sources security sources in s.w. that's around one hundred fifty kilometers to the southwest of say that have to those forces are currently mobilizing and they are a it seems that they are planning to launch a new offensive to recapture the two terminals of said that are on the ras lanuf and meanwhile the end we see that is the national oil corporation based here in tripoli says that the clashes the military confrontations in the end the old christian could lead to an environmental disaster and has one and both conflicting sides against it is collation in the area now. ok when does it feel like it is listening. and i want to hear much more and what does that suggest about the bigger
1:14 pm
bigger battle at play here i mean what are we looking at at the moment is that there is the land grab is there to try and get as many resources as possible to sniff out the other groups. will first of all the christian is one of the most strategic areas in libya it includes the four major oil terminals in the country and as you know the oil production is the bag born of libya's income and now whoever controls this oil crescent area can control most of libya and control the income of libya and since september two thousand and sixteen have the forces took control of that of the oil area and before that it was controlled by a judge run who is now leading an armed group to. run is the
1:15 pm
former leader of the petroleum facilities guards and currently he does not belong to the national accord government here in tripoli so he is trying to recapture the oil crescent and he has forces allied with him for the tribal fighters from from the area so the conflict now is who who is who is going to control the oil because who ever controls the oil across an area can control the income of libya all right thank you for that market. more ahead on the news on creating what lies ahead for the hundreds of migrants who entered spain after being stranded at sea for over a week. while syria's government is accusing the u.s. of bombing its military to military positions in the east. and the biggest shock of the world cup so far as defending champions germany used to mexico's sun i will have the action coming up in sport.
1:16 pm
it's not just in football that there's uncertainty in germany chancellor angela merkel is scrambling to hold together her governing coalition and fun is a deepening divide over her handling of the european migrant crisis now conservative allied christian social union is on the verge of splitting the government dominic cain is live for us in berlin tell us what's going on and why this is all happening. well jane the thing to say is that developments have begun already today we understand that was dizzy hole for has secured some form of compromise he is as you recall viewers who recall he and his party have been calling for the four people who were referred to as falling into the dublin three regulations of the european union other words people who came to germany claiming asylum here but had already claimed asylum in a different e.u. country where he had been calling for them to be sent back well now we understand
1:17 pm
that some form of compromise may be emerging in which people who've been placed under a travel ban can be turned back from the german borders that's what seems to be emerging so far but we'll know more about that as the day unfolds but to analyze this situation i'm joined by the political analyst with the high office mr frank of this idea of compromise this idea that something may have been agreed or suggested at least between was dizzy a whole for and and ms merkel is that likely to defused this situation it can lower down the tensions and your parents also if there is a summit on the european level and if that is somehow successful and that includes a kind of compromise not hundred percent of feel for what's behind this right this idea of immigration control this idea coming from bavaria that more needs to be done is there something specifically in bavaria politically which is motivating
1:18 pm
zero for in the c.s.u. in your opinion i think so because they're very serious your sister also cereal is going far away of the center of course of the city you. more nationalistic against europe or distant to europe of course and using the asylum seekers issue and that has to do with the fight between the c.s.u. and the dean of the right here in populous rhetoric or party and they want to a degree to imitate the. a of g. in the with the mindset. of bring their victory but i doubt it and one of the things that really has been emerging here over the course of the last week or so is this idea of anger machall finding herself for the wrong reasons as it were being exposed here because her party is a euro cent is a party that that believes in the european ideal and yet she's finding herself having to defend her party's policy to her historic allies to the c.s.u.
1:19 pm
what does this mean for her situation generally politically her chance or east just over there behind us what does it mean for her you see. she has to withstand n.-g.'s the backing of the whole party of the studio that it's clear in the morning in the last days and it's core it's the core belief system of the studio and to a degree also of the c.s.u. it to be non nationalistic to be a pro european and so they have to she has this e.u. with her has to fight for that course and i think i think she will remain on the opposition is to forget thank you very much for your analysis of the situation so there it is you have a sense there of what's being discussed here in germany the point to make is that there are several news conferences going to be taking place today mr sale for will be speaking to the to the media as well angela merkel and she'll be meeting the
1:20 pm
italian prime minister mr conti later on today and clearly he has his own concerns about migration the immigration situation in europe will be interesting to see what both leaders say later on today but the moment is that back to you jane thank you dominic. six hundred thirty migrants are spending their first day in spain after arriving on ships which were turned away from italy and malta city council leaders in barcelona say the new socialist government in madrid must back up its humanitarian gesture with money and resources to help the african arrivals. has more from valencia. on dry land at last clearly happy to be here. special care for pregnant women mothers their toddlers and others most vulnerable these migrants and refugees were forced to spend the week at sea european union leaders squabble over migration policy and show ships are just doing their work are saving lives as in the ben and humanitarian organization saving lives is not
1:21 pm
a crime or not a course of this situation we're also not a solution what we are at the end this is a symptom of a failing of the european governments relief workers say many migrants landing in spain were tortured in libyan detention centers or may have been traded a six slaves after a health check from medical workers migrants disembarked to be registered by police and assessed it's the start of a months long process while the recounts are scrutinised and the government decides who will be allowed to stay as refugees it's an acceptable the those ones we wish to protect. i don't understand what's going on here i mean imagine that you have to explain to people that they are safe now but the next steps are completely empty spain's incoming socialist government has welcomed the charity ship aquarius and the two italian vessels but not all share that enthusiasm. hours before
1:22 pm
the ships docked and anti immigrant fringe party organized a portside protest they fear a migrant influx will change the spanish way of life but you're going to get you know your number you the other foot. in the next ten or fifteen years the majority of young people in this country will have a religion and culture different from our own we're faced with a problem of survival the arrival of the aquarius means safe haven for some but a political solution to the migration crisis remains remote so that people do not fall prey to traffickers and smugglers so it's about. a human situation that needs to be a manager you know human way for the latest arrivals the politics will have to wait for now a few minutes to play with new toys and celebrate their survival help in whole al-jazeera valencia spain. the syrian regime is accusing the u.s.
1:23 pm
led coalition of bombing military positions in the east on sunday but this is being disputed by the u.s. central command this video posted online allegedly shows the aftermath of the airstrikes on the area which killed a number of iraqi militia fighters the syrian observatory for human rights says the attack killed at least thirty eight people let's cross live to mohammed top of the turkey syria border every been able to get to the bottom of these claims we have it . just doing what we have so far are those conflicting reports about what exactly happened the syrian official media talk about a strike against their forces in that area near come out in a place called and how do you how do you hear the occupy. the syrian observatory for human rights talks about a strike against iraqi militias working with the syrian army in that area as you mentioned talking about about the killing of about forty members of those militia
1:24 pm
the food that is being circulated we couldn't find it on any of the official websites that usually show this type of videos neither militia websites nor his blow up site not also the syrian government of course the syrian government usually doesn't show casualties among its soldiers and we seems from my reading about this that there are two separate strikes one against the militias and probably one against the syrian army but the syrian army as i said doesn't show its casualties this the context of all of this is a mounting type of pressure on conflict tension between the americans and the syrian government both in that area near the iraqi border which is where there is a lot of activity both by die isha i sill and also by the as the advent of the syrian democratic forces which are backed by the americans and by the coalition forces they are trying. to. get rid of the remnants of that area also there is
1:25 pm
tension in the south in the area between the americans and the syrian because the syrians have been building up military equipment and sending troops to that area threatening to invade it in no time the americans have warned recently that they were not going to tolerate are not going to accept that the assad invades out area it's a deescalation zone and it has both a free syrian army in it and also a pocket of two of dice or ice and fighters so i mean both those fronts we have we have the potential for trouble between americans and the syrians which is part of the global picture that is so much complex in inside syria but mohammed thank you. the right wing of the presidential election in colombia is calling for unity but evangel cares pledging corrections to the peace deal with the former rebels say he needs to now show good sense the forty two year old u.k.

1:27 pm
despite losing gustavo petro is colombia's most successful leftist candidate the former rebel secured more than forty percent of the vote and has pledged to continue his fight for a fairer society and less dependence on fossil fuels. if you can governs with those who helped him win government suffers a fatal injury hopefully he is able to hopefully i am able to trick myself about his personality and the one elected has sufficient strength to separate himself from those who helped him become elected because they are the worst associations for colombia this was one of the safest elections in colombia's recent history there were no reports of violence across the country a sign say analysts the democracy here is maturing these are elections that have been peaceful has been polarized because citizens are. not used to have a left option and the right option with very different programs but i do think that
1:28 pm
this is the first time in columbus history that we are discussing politics. in other democracies in the world. if he has a lot to prove his critics say he's nothing more than a puppet of. a hardliner that's both popular and polarizing but it's what he might do with those peace accords with fatah the people watch most closely because through may have lost but the less voice has never been stronger on the gallacher al-jazeera bogota colombia and if you moments we'll have the weather with richard but still ahead on al-jazeera dying with dignity we look at a campaign by doctors to bring a terminally ill refugee to australia plus we look at a program that helps gaza's disabled get back into sport and stay with sports roger federer takes a step closer to a hundred career titles will have those details later.

in the so i am a strong front in the stream. the weather sponsored by qatar airways. well this time yesterday i was saying how erratic this south asian monsoon is at the moment the area in green is the region we should be experiencing rain this time of the year but when we look at the south by imagery it doesn't bear much resemblance that sort of general pattern certainly across parts of india too which will turn the moment but it is looking more lively across the bay of bengal and through up towards me and ma and it is here we've seen the monsoon rain causing all sorts of problems over the last twenty four hours so you see these pulses of these big clouds here giving some very large rainfall totals and having said that monthly rainfall should be something about two thousand millimeters of rain so far they're certainly not out of the ordinary by any means but nevertheless we have had some
1:30 pm
significant problems been calls across in particular where you can see a lot of a temples but godas have been damaged in trying to rescue the starches pull away from those landslip prone areas where the situation here could possibly get worse before it gets better certainly plenty more rain the forecast coming in in that flow from the southwest certainly for many areas further heavier and it's likely i'm fraid also the possibility of further landslides. the weather. pattern. circumstances and facts that point her to the murder confessions are useless without corroboration she thought and they are questioning her about her being a victim of a rape not a suspect in a murder case newly false confession involves a completely made up story some will say anything thinking they can fix it later but there's no fixing it later and these statements are used against them in

1:34 pm
australia for palliative care and because he knows that members of his community are here to support him in his final days and australia's government has accepted that the medical operations on the roof are not adequate for his needs and they've offered to transfer him to taiwan he doesn't want to go there he says he knows nobody he fears people won't speak his language doctors here more than a thousand of them now have signed a petition calling for him to be brought to australia i spoke to one of them about why she'd signed real want to die amongst people who speak their language. and with good medical care death happens to everyone but how you die matters in a sense this one man this one it situation has become representative of the way australia's government is treating all those with medical conditions on mannus island and in the room and doctors in australia are putting themselves at the forefront of calls for change and those cause of change of largely gone unanswered

1:37 pm
it's reached a point where it's denying a dying man's wishes beyond what you know anyone can understand about the about the government and its certain policy i don't think the stunt community is going to tolerate it yeah i was going to ask you about the strain in community and how they feel about the government and the draconian moves here i mean the situation on the island is so bad that we've seen yet another suicide attempt so we've got mental health issues there as well. yeah look it's a i mean the root for it is people are being kept. there is no resettlement or rights or the trumpet ministrations or think of the band iranians and somalis from going to going to the united states so there's a real crisis around on their land on yet minutes. and it died and that's what it's resulted on friday young young iranian you know you're killing south it that we there is no adequate medical facilities there it's not that it is
