with airstrikes on who positions before the coalition troops and militias allied to them calmed ports from at least three different fronts now there was panic in the bill hoops abounding the airport once the bride your missile started hitting the airport making many people leave their homes in search of shelter from the falling missiles it was the same case on monday when a talk hell corpses targeted. snipers who use my perspective on the roofs of mosques schools as well as the residential buildings in neighborhoods around. today has been held by the heathy since twenty fourteen and the latest military offensive has been described as one of the biggest battles yet in this three year civil war here's where things stand at the moment as we mentioned earlier there's a fierce fight over the airport while the terminal has been destroyed taking the runway depending on its condition is vital for the saudi emirates he led coalition

to fly in reinforcements government troops are approaching from the strip of land to the south along the coast elsewhere airstrikes of targeted hooty supply lines to the north and east while ships offshore have been used to bombard targets in the city and then there's the datas port which receives eighty percent of yemen's food imports it's vital for delivering goods and much needed aid the coalition though accuses the who theses of using it to smuggle in weapons and says it provides huge revenue to the armed groups pass and yet is a professor of international relations and security issues at sultan qaboos university he says if they lose a day they could be surrounded and cut off from supplies. or he's going to be a big boss for the have for that would be fun it could be. five days he says. and consequently some kind of

a second event because he's there's also a reason for the airport is extremely important psychologically important problem that. if you've got a movie is important also. that next would be part of who they are if that's what they. thought that would be a trip to jihad for the. recall of. days have sucked dry. consequently more pressure on them three put the. attention because it has struck the city patience for timid of the geminids. for good it would be a very very big if this situation continued this day on duty go to mark a three day march and be forced to be calm and quiet raise up forests and to conduct a different type of warfare against the coalition the

whole violence and persecution of forced more people to become refugees than ever before the latest u.n. refugee agency report finds that more than sixty eight and a half million people displaced worldwide as of last year it has met in a hundred with a closer look at the numbers. every two seconds a person is forced from their home over a day that's forty four and a half thousand people over a year more than sixty million this is the un figure for newly displaced people in two thousand and seventeen the un's refugee agency says it's part of a worrying upward trend a number that's risen every year for the last five years and is fueled by war violence and persecution crises like those in the democratic republic of congo war in south sudan the hundreds of thousands of muslim or head injury flooding into bangladesh from neighboring million man most of them

a children fifty three percent of the world's displaced and often unaccompanied or separated from their families one in every one hundred ten people is a refugee internally displaced or seeking asylum that adds up to more than sixty eight and a half million people to put that in perspective if the world's refugees were single nation that roughly equal the population of the united kingdom and in the time i've been talking at least thirty four people more than half of them children have been forced from their homes earlier we spoke to philip or grundy the high commissioner for refugees at the united nations about those findings there is a sense of urgency but the response is continue to be too fragmented and to isolate this is a global phenomenon that requires international so be very thin cooperation on

a global scale and this is what these raise the rising figures and the world's response to these political positions are not right. refugees are fleeing violence war persecution we have an obligation to help them and they're not even effective you can see easily you just reported on if you cross avenues on one side be open on another we need to look at the root causes we need to address the reasons why these people leave violence war we need to help the countries where they are in majority let's not forget that eight million refugees and displaced eight five percent are not the rich countries they are poor middle income developing countries and then we need to maintain asylum systems that are effective there to receive those in need of protection of refuge and give other options for those that move for different reasons now many of those

refugees migrants especially from africa been heading to spain in their attempt to get into europe more than fifteen hundred try to cross from africa to spain just over the weekend it's the largest single influx of migrants to the area in four years and it comes more than six hundred migrants arrived in the spanish city of valencia on sunday after their ship was turned away from italy and malta kulpa now has more from america on the southeast coast of spain. we're here in the control room of spain's marine rescue center in the port of ameria and personnel here in front of screens in a radar are on high alert for the possible arrival of more refugees and migrants aboard these rickety fishing vessels they call potatoes now if you look out that way that's one hundred miles or one hundred sixty kilometers to the coast of morocco and that is from where in the last four days fifteen hundred refugees and

migrants have headed towards both our maria and points further south personnel here say that they have seen nothing like it that level of arrivals in such a short period. time is really putting them under pressure already figures this year at twice as high as at the same period last year what generally happens in this control room is that they will get their first alert perhaps by telephone perhaps by radio from an ngo from another vessel or directly from the terror itself and they will call and say they are in distress from here they make the call to helicopter a helicopter will be up into the air searching the area trying to locate the migrant vessel and then from there the characteristic orange search and rescue vessels will head out trying to locate and pick up those migrants and refugees and bring them back here to shore over the weekend personnel here say that there was a ship wreck they managed to pluck four survivors from the sea but they say that

somewhere out there there is still at least forty bodies of migrants and refugees that simply didn't make it. let's stay with europe and look at the migration situation there the main ports of entry into europe for african refugees migrants spain and italy with most starting their journeys from the coastlines of morocco and libya but this could change as italy's new prime minister is taking a hard line approach on immigration he's closed ports to enjoy a vessel's undertaking search and rescue operations experience you discovered as promised free health care for refugees and says it will investigate asylum applications on a case by case basis france and germany are the big two destinations for refugees and migrants last year france received more than one hundred thousand asylum requests and germany about a hundred eighty six thousand applications french president amanda micron says the easy immigration policy isn't working and this is expected to dominate his meeting

with the german chancellor angela merkel she's also under pressure from her own coalition government to cut immigration it's talk to dominic a news live in berlin what do you think merkel mood kron are trying to get out of this meeting. well jane the point here is both of them in fact many of the e.u. leaders that get america has been meeting in the past week or so they want to see some sort of resolution at the european level some way of agreeing a system which will allow them better to be aware of who is claiming asylum in their countries and what should be done with these people one thing to point out there's a a a draft version of a statement and leaders statement we expect to see in the e.u. summit coming next week this is a merge on the news agency reuters which suggests that the e.u. leaders while they may be working towards a particular plan if you allow me to read what i've been sent it suggests that the

e.u. is actively looking into setting up what it calls regional disembarkation platforms and they would be set up in regions for example in north africa this this draft statement suggests and the important thing here is that those centers would be tasked with trying to work out whether the people who present themselves claiming asylum are economic migrants or indeed people who are fleeing war zones and in need of protection and funds the most important element of this statement if this goes on to be what emerges from that summit and i say a big if this is not corroborated but if this goes on to be what emerges as one element that will particularly interest people in germany because it says that secondary movements of asylum seekers between member states put the integrity of the asylum system severely at risk a member states should take all necessary internal administrative measures to counter such movements of vashti's precisely what the leadership of the christian

social union that's the bavarian allies conservative allies of angela merkel that's exactly what they have been talking about the federal interior minister here in germany is from that c.s.u. party his so-called master plan talks about dealing with exactly the sorts of people who've claimed asylum. somewhere else and are now claiming asylum in germany that's exactly the crux of this matter so it will be very interesting to see whether either mr mark karr or mrs merkel today will be drawn in their news conference that will come in in a few hours time on what this news agency reuters appears to be suggesting and in the meantime a medical yesterday on monday negotiated a compromise with her allies domestically the reaction to that. well the point here is it's all sort of in meshed in this whole idea of what's going to happen in brussels and what is the end game as it were that angle america has in mind because there was this theory that the c.s.u.

was in some ways holding angle americans feet to the fire trying to get concessions from or they did get one concession this idea that people who claim asylum in germany but who have some sort of travel ban attached to their names what other countries will they won't be allowed in the way it's been reported here is that it's almost like the two parties of the of the conservative right of drawn breath favors that at the edge of a precipice looked over and for what we don't want to fall off that just now and so this idea of this stopgap compromise giving angela merkel the best part of two weeks to try to firm up some sort of european deal or at least bilateral deals and of course that's the such sort of thing that she is now talking about with home with the president. today this idea of bilateral deals she's meeting the french president today she met the italian prime minister yesterday last week she met the austrian chancellor all countries that are very important in that route of

migration that many of the people who claim asylum in europe have been taking thank you dominic came. still ahead on al-jazeera suffering in silence the u.n. calls for action what it calls the forgotten victims of war. and the latest effort to end the anti-government protests in nicaragua hits a major head. see some quasi weather coming in to southern japan over the next couple days as some really heavy downpours recently still a little bit of wet weather in the mix over the next dial say pressure that's responsible for it because swathe of cloud coming back in behind across the korean peninsula in the yellow sea we'll see that rain pushing in across southern parts of japan as we go on into wednesday with some big downpours coming through so we see
