normal civilian casualties and have a disastrous impact on lifesaving humanitarian aid to millions of people which comes through the port. nearly two hundred people have been killed since the offensive for the important red sea port began on wednesday and there were five thousand families forced to flee their homes according to the u.n. . we suffer from the aerial raids in the cruel aggression and the indiscriminate shelling that goes on twenty four seventh's this is let us to leave our areas we don't have food we don't have humanitarian support the organizations concerned do nothing for us we're sick i'm hurt my body suffers a lot shuttle diplomacy by the u.n. special envoy to yemen hasn't succeeded so far martin griffiths has been in the capital sanaa and is due to brief the u.n. security council later on monday the united arab emirates which is leading the coalition against who the fight is along with saudi arabia says precautions are

being taken to protect civilians when. we are careful not to hit surrounding residential areas so as not to hurt the people there the current fight for the airport suits us for two reasons the first is it gives us an opportunity to advance and avoid as much as we can the civilians secondly it gives the international envoy a chance to have his say before leaving santa. on monday the management of her data port said it was operating normally. commercial shipments arriving at the port a well known shipments that are arriving from well known ports the claims made by the coalition that shipment of arms have arrived at the port and avoid the current military campaign aimed at targeting the port the coalition countries know well that the port has no military activities at all and is not involved at all in any arms shipment since the intervention of the coalition to back government forces three years ago at least ten thousand yemenis have been killed tens of thousand

a crime in germany is way up big mistake made all over europe in. millions of people in it have so strongly and violently change that culture event added we don't want what is happening with immigration in europe to happen with us well crime is actually fallen in germany. in the midst of a political crisis of immigration policy the interior minister threatened to bring down the government but he has now said he will give the chance for the two weeks to find an e.u. deal that will reduce migration into germany before deciding his next steps is planning to use an upcoming e.u. summit to negotiate an agreement. we are off the zero pin yet the c.d.u. and c.s.u. has the joint goal to better direct migration into our country and reduce the number of people are driving in the country so that we do not have a situation like we had in two thousand and fifteen. and we have correspondents monitoring events for us in washington and by lynn first let's start with our white

house correspondent kimberly how kit and kimberly trump might be attacking the german chancellor angela merkel botts he is also facing a backlash over his own immigration policy from members of his own party that's right democrats as well as members of the president's own republican party growing in outrage as well as public opinion over the truck administration's decision to enforce a policy that's been in place for more than a decade but has recently had an uptick in enforcement in terms of separating children from their parents along the southern border with the united states the idea being that if their parents have been accused of illegal immigration or entering the united states illegally that until they appear before a judge their children are kept away from them this is prompted outrage internally here in the united states domestically but also from the u.n. commissioner for human rights. if the united states are deeply concerned by

recently adopted policies which punish children for the parents' actions in the past six weeks nearly two thousand children have been forcibly separated from their parents the american association of pediatrics has called this cruel practice government sanctioned child abuse which may cause repairable home with my film consequences so both domestic and international outcry over this policy what is trump in saying less recently well the white house is defending this practice in fact not only has the attorney general jeff sessions was speaking about his homeland security secretary here's to nielsen but just in the last hour or so the president himself speaking from the white house say that in his view unless something is done the united states will become a micro cap he says the united states will not be a micro-cap it will not be

a refugee holding facility it won't be again referencing your pieces you look at what's happening in europe you look at what's happening in other places we can't allow that to happen in the united states not on my watch why is the president doing this now well it has a lot to do with the fact that kroger's hasn't done its job mariam in almost twenty years republicans democrats it doesn't matter they've long promised that there would be immigration reform it's long overdue but it's become this political football it seems to be happening once again the president seems to be using the nuclear option not just when it comes to this policy of separating children but also in terms of trying to force congress's hand but given the fact that there is such division in congress even though he's headed up to capitol hill on tuesday to try and force the sea even more it's bound to be an election issue when voters go to the polls to decide control of congress just. at the latest from washington kambli howard gets thank you so let's get more then on the view from

germany in developments there with dominic cain who is in. and so first of all let's focus on trump's comments because he has decided to speak out and put his own spin on on what we've been seeing in germany has there been any reaction there to this. with officially no because i will be very busy today trying to resolve the immigration issue as far as possible but also meeting with other european leaders specifically sepic on to the italian prime minister who's just arrived but if there hasn't been an official reaction certainly on twitter from people in germany the reaction has been pretty clear and pretty quick many people choosing to point out figures that they say show that crime in this country has is effectively the lowest it's been for twenty five years and recent opinion polls which they say point to the fact that anglo-american remains the most popular politician in this country so as i say no official reaction but then

perhaps that's you would expect that there wouldn't be given the events that are going on here in berlin today the public reaction has been pretty risky for us and pretty quick and yet anger merkel is also under attack from coalition partners she's managing to keep head above water for now but this crisis is far from resolved. yes that's right effectively she was staring down the barrel today in the fact that her immediate party allies the christian social union up a varian party that has been effectively political bedfellows clear allies. christine democrat party for decades are basically saying they wanted to change policy on immigration a fundamental policy what she's done today is give some to her interior minister mr is a hopeful host from the christian social union member. various been pushing for a return to the sorts of policies that governed immigration in this country before

the summer of two thousand and fifteen viewers will recall that was when i decided to open the borders to refugees to our many people to come to this country the point at issue is that the rules that govern things until twenty fifteen were quite simple if a person claimed asylum in another e.u. country then they shouldn't go on to claim it elsewhere in the un if they did they would be sent back to that country that's what mr hoffa wants to be brought back here on this is merkel has done today is say well that is something we can discuss at the european level for now she's prepared to deny entry to this country to asylum seekers who have a sort of travel ban imposed on them by another country but the point to make here finally is the meeting that's going on right now behind me in the chancellery with the taliban prime minister this is merkel is being clear saying she needs to negotiate not just at the e.u. level but also with individual might member states i buy laterally and she's pinning a lot of hope in trying to find some sort of agreement with the italian government

with the french government with other governments around the e.u. which will allow her to mollify i hope very allies at the end of the e.u. summit taking place in brussels at the end of next week thank you very much dominic came in. with al-jazeera live from london much more still ahead columbia youngest president but what does it mean for the historic peace deal with the fucker and how spall could spiral warming of relations between the two koreas. welcome back here weather conditions across the levant turn to western parts of asia we've still got a few showers across parts of stan and through into did becky stan otherwise around the southern side the caspian sea chance of the old shower i think for tehran will

guinea and arrested on arrival in israel last month on suspicion of acting as an agent of iranian intelligence and relaying information related to the energy market sake of it is said to have met with his operators twice in iran and also met with iranian agents in hotels in apartments around the world. meanwhile the israeli government has endorsed a bill that seeks to out all the filming of israeli soldiers for the sake of shaming them this fall is the release of a number of videos which has which the government has deemed harmful to the army's image rights groups say the bill is a stain on democracy and an attempt to conceal the reality of israel's occupation as harry force it reports from west jerusalem. the killing of abdel fattah sheriff in hebron and twenty sixteen became one of the most controversial incidents involving israel's army in recent years the reason the existence of this video showing soldier. shoot our shareef in the head as he lay on the ground which

military court said happened more than ten minutes after the palestinian was first shot and disarmed while attempting a knife attack as our it was released last month after spending nine months in jail a new bill awaiting consideration by israel's parliament the knesset proposes a maximum ten years sentence for anyone recording similar videos the defense minister avigdor lieberman tweeted his support saying i.d.f. soldiers are subjected to attacks from those who act against the israeli people and tara supporters who try to humiliate the shame and harm them we will put an end to this. the proposed law comes in response to a series of videos recently seen as harmful to the israeli military's image the bills wording though has been questioned it refers to the intent of the person recording a soldier's behavior being to injure their spirit or harm national security israel's attorney general has called the bill in its current form illegal if and when the bill does become lords understood it would be in a very different form the maximum sentence reduced from ten to three years the

offense changed from filming or distributing images of soldiers to impeding them from carrying out their duty the head of the human rights group that circulated the hebron video says that doesn't mean the bill is being watered down rather that it's being incorporated into existing law now that can actually shift the norm and create this gray area in the which it would be under the capacity of you know random soldiers or commanders to just claim that almost any photography is somehow struction of soldiers ability to carry out their duties. but selim says the eventual law could be used against media organizations as well as activists and send a message to soldiers that they can treat those recording them more of. simply it wouldn't however apply in the case of this video of an israeli sniper shooting an unarmed man near the gaza border fence of the celebrations that followed it was taken by a fellow israeli soldier the defense minister called for him to be punished under military law and for the sniper who fired the bullet to be awarded

a medal for sit out west jerusalem to colombia now where the new president event a k has called for unity after winning a divisive runoff against the far left candidate gustavo petro to case promise to rewrite the historic peace deal which the government signed with fought rebels in two thousand and sixteen forty two years old a conservative politician is colombia's youngest ever leader and he gallagher reports from the capital book a ta. i he may be a fresh face in colombian politics but his event duke a took to the stage his supporters were ecstatic to gaze young untested at his promise to tackle some of colombia's biggest issues and we've done it going in order with humility and on our i tell the colombian people that i will give all my energies to unite our country no more divisions let's think about a country for all and everyone for me it's very important to tell you and the whole of columbia that today there are no defeated citizens because i want to be the

president that gives the same love to those who voted for me and those who didn't the polls closed across colombia at four pm but it soon became clear that duke a had a commanding lead hand picked by former president alvaro uribe has promised to modify the peace accords with falk rebels they ended fifty years of conflict but it's not yet clear want any changes he makes will mean for an already fragile process despite losing gustavo put through his 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 it governs with those who helped him win government suffers a fatal injury hopefully he is able 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 this is the first time in columbus history that we are discussing politics as. in other democracies in the world iran dukie has a lot to prove his critics say he's nothing more than a puppet of. a hardline of that's both popular and polarizing but it's what he might do with those peace accords with far the people watch most closely because through may have lost but the less voice here has never been stronger and agalloch al-jazeera bogota colombia. four people have been killed and hundreds injured after a powerful earthquake hit japan second city of soka a magnitude six point one quake struck at the height of rush hour causing buildings
