1:03 pm
they have made to over the years in this statement they're even calling on for the creation of a new military council clearly they are not happy with all of the rebel leaders on the ground this crisis group if you like is made up of civilian and military representatives so like you mentioned earlier there seems to be a split at the end of the day when an area comes under a military offensive in areas being battered by airstrikes and shelling people really have little choice they have nowhere to go so some leaders some civilian authorities believe it would be better to make a deal with the government and that is that is what happened in several towns in recent days a handful of towns the last one. and so so there is a split at the end of the day the russian military as well as the syrian government they will only want one thing and that is for the opposition to surrender and four states will. to return to our province are not interested in anything else what the
1:04 pm
rebels are trying to do is to find a way to stay there to be able to in one way or another control the area without the syrian army or the syrian police entering you mentioned people fleeing i mean with israel and jordan closing off the borders what is the situation the people who are escaping the fighting. well it is dire and desperate according to the united nations one hundred sixty thousand people have been uprooted from their homes since the military offensive began on june the ninth team and more and more people are on the move we're seeing video of people packing whatever they can and heading towards the border area because the military there is a military escalation on the ground every time talks collapse this is what happens you see intensified airstrikes shelling to really put pressure on the rebels and the people to surrender the government forces are now concentrating in the eastern

1:07 pm
a left wing populist and respond. to lead them better known as he represents social change and the pope all honesty was. i will not let you down i will not disappoint you i am conscious of my historic responsibility i don't want to go down in history as a bad president. says he will begin by a radical corruption which he says is the principal calls poverty and violence but just through college tuition expects to achieve his ambitious goals this mystery because he has been credibly short on details about how he wants to implement what he calls a radical transformation of mexico. he has explained that he'll pay for ambitious social programs and subsidies to the poorest with an estimated twenty five billion dollars he says corrupt politicians steal and that he'll even sell the presidential
1:08 pm
plane to save money he says his opponents say he has a messiah complex and warned that he will undermine democratic institutions and send investors flee but for millions who voted for. he represents the change this country desperately needs that. the government cannot do it alone but the sea will say we cannot do it along either so we have to join forces in a vase is of honesty in a vase is of a real fight against corruption and in a basis of a good judicial system to give justice for all. the money all that of course is easier said than done and given the extraordinary expectations he's awoken to those job will be all the more daunting seen human and just see the mexico city. all over or is getting more congratulations from up north canada's prime as a just in two days says he looks forward to working with the new mexican leader to
1:09 pm
renegotiate the north american free trade agreement on nafta talks so far have struggled to satisfy us present donald trump's demands and as for trump well he tweeted congratulations to andres manuel lopez obrador on becoming the next president of mexico very much forward to working with him there is much to be done that will benefit both the united states and mexico. and during his victory speech lopez obrador addressed his country's relationship with the us which has been under strain since president trump took office. this goes on us with the government of the united states we will seek to have a friendly relationship and cooperation for development it will always be based on mutual respect and the defense of our countrymen the migrants who live and work on ridley in that country. the un's actually general antonio terrace in bangladesh for his first visit to camps hosting around one million refugees from man mom about
1:10 pm
investing government is seeking more support for the refugees. has this report. when sabera back home fled the horrors of me and more and crossed into bangladesh she thought she'd found some safety for her daughter and the rest of her surviving relatives then the rains came and then i knew that then. a landslide damaged part so we had to move to another part of the house and then we all had to have one small corner. so there is among the approximately forty two thousand people here identified by aid agencies as being at high risk from the elements which means that for her and many other ranger refugees things are beginning to change for the better together with humanitarian partners who have been working hard to try and mitigate the effects of the monsoon all season here especially for theses reliving the settlements in the camps xabi amman to tells me many of the areas were hinder refugees settled in this sprawling campsite are prone to natural
1:11 pm
disasters so today we've had relocations the very very safe families who are living in areas that are high risk of landslides and flooding and we've pretty light headed them to new sides here in the camp on safer ground where they can be better protected in this extension to the camp it's a race against time these days the construction is constant one of the reasons that a program like this is so important is so that an already vulnerable population that's been uprooted that's been so traumatized does not also fall victim to the weather and it's not just the landslides in this not just the floods that pose such a threat during monsoon season the risk of contracting water borne diseases like cholera goes up severely. for so there is family at last some relief a first meal in their new dwelling. on my then when i got. over there we suffered
1:12 pm
a loss with the little ones we complained so many times but no one repaired our homes finally the aid workers told us we would move to a better place and funny today they moved us here it may not look like much but for them right now it makes all the difference in the world. and joins us now live from. being offered an umbrella of a lot of it must be dreadful tell us what it's actually general has speaking about today. yeah yeah it's been raining all day. you know every now and again and it's happening again right now there's a current corner really just underscores the very difficult conditions that they're in they're refugees you know have to live with have to contend with that's one of the reasons why general actually came here because he's saying that the international community simply isn't doing enough you know the u.n. in the past few months trying to do a donation drive to get money for the war hindu refugee population it's only been
1:13 pm
twenty four percent funded thus far that really goes to show how much this population is neglected secretary-general good terrorism spoke a lot about the fact that there were hindu population is perhaps the most discriminated against population in the entire world he said that he went to wrack kind state you know ten years ago and saw the kind of difficulties that they were living with even then and it's only gotten so much worse now one of the things that i asked secretary-general to terrorist specifically about is something that's become a bit of a bone of contention here there was a middle of understanding that was signed between the you in the government of myanmar and that memo of understanding was leaked in the past week to the press and as it turns out it did not mention the name as the ethnic group of this people and it did not talk about if they would be granted citizenship if they were to return to me and mark some point in the future when i asked secretary-general to terrorise
1:14 pm
about that he said that this was just a starting point that this was a document that they had to enter into it was nothing perfect it was nothing binding that there must be a lot more work that needs to be done he says that any citizen of any country needs to have a right of return and that anybody from any country country needs to be able to be considered a citizen of that country so clearly he's saying that the government of myanmar is not doing nearly enough that they have not been nearly cooperative enough in the hopes that they will be able to take steps to ensure the rights of the religious population let me just show you how much. people that are standing behind but they are talking about the fact that they are very concerned that the word row hinge is not included in these documents that row him leaders are not being included in talks that the un is having with the government of myanmar so there is great concern here also today what we found out is that the world bank it.
1:15 pm
ok i think the weather has got the better of us. and get under that umbrella man which i'm jim joining us that from. there's so much more still to come here and this program hitting a rallying call by teachers across the u.s. they demand better pay and conditions. and in northern thailand the search goes on for a group of teenagers trapped in a flooded cave. and find out why roger federer is feeling nervous ahead of his opening match at wimbledon later coming up in sport with jack. personally and are protesting the occupied west bank against the u.s. peace plan for the middle east what present donald trump of called the deal of the century high force that has more now from ramallah. several hundred years ago on
1:16 pm
the street in the sense of the british as we call the leadership you see the yellow actually very much a part of factional protest called by the leadership really to expound its position on the u.s. attempt to restart the middle east peace process between israelis and the palestinians they say that the deal of the century is donald trump is trying to sell it is dead that they will not accept it i think the leadership was very much stung by a two interventions from the u.s. envoy jason green and on from subtle jarrett cush the when they were in the region i just a few days ago each talking to the media here and be more critical of the p.a. leadership the president mahmoud abbas and the p.l.o. said you general erekat they were complaining of an attempt to sort of bypass or even overthrow the p.a. leadership as the u.s. tries to drive this through appealing to the palestinians on grounds of economic
1:17 pm
opportunity that might be available to them if the us. peace plan were adopted they say the palestinian authority continues to say that the us declaration on jerusalem recognizing it as israel's capital disqualifies united states a speech of much of what about his words just read out over the last twenty four hours again says that the united states is morally and politically unfit to take part in the peace process they are keen to show that their supporters are very much behind them in that message how germany's interior minister has threatened to resign rather than support chancellor angela merkel's new migration deal horses a office been discussing the agreement with his c.s.u. party which is a crucial coalition partner in their calls government last week safa threatens to turn asylum seekers away from germany and mccain joins us now live from berlin with all the latest in the make up to marathon talks there yesterday was are the chances of a rapprochement between the two parties. throat feels almost like
1:18 pm
a kind of groundhog day where all main participants in this crisis are meeting again going through the same thing they did yesterday with the exception but mr hoffa has already offered his resignation yesterday question is whether he would offer it again today he's due to meet anger merkel in the next few hours at. fifteen g.m.t. and the question then will be is he prepared to precipitate this sort of collapse potentially of the government is he so attached is his party so attached to the philosophical purity of their position that they're prepared to see losing control of the interior ministry losing control of the ability to influence policy in this country rather than to accept the sort of compromise that anglo-american has been offering she came back from the brussels summit offering the c.s.u. much of what they had that party had said it needed to have rather in order not to
1:19 pm
go it alone today to force border can. in a way which would send turn migrants back that's what's at stake here it's been going basically this brewing over the whole of the weekend today the two protagonists in this meet as i say at fifteen g. the question will be what will emerge from that ok and what happens that dominic if there is no compromise how bad will it be for the german government. well this is the fundamental thing here is that if you look at the coalition that governs this country right now it's called the grand coalition effectively the center left party which is the social democrats a one hundred fifty three seats on the right behind you americans party the christian democrats c.d.u. for short two hundred seats and then zero hope his party the christian social unit c.s.u. with forty six seats if that bloc those forty six seats are taken away from the grand coalition then it no longer has a majority but it's very close to run the question then would be who could govern
1:20 pm
now angle america's party has the largest amount of seats we know that the green party that she negotiated with viewers will remember after the general election but those talks failed we know that the greens share many policy ideas with the christian democrats they govern with the christian democrats in some of the states of germany and last night one of the lead spokes persons for the greens was making clear that there may be some sort of accommodation so the point here is if the c.s.u. does want not to take part in this does want to leave the government it may not necessarily precipitate new elections because clearly there is a majority right now in the bundestag which does not favor try to border controls it does not want to see unilateral actions and that's what mr as a whole for his party executive are bearing in mind that they have to either accept two thirds to three quarters of what they wanted or go with the philosophical purity but get nothing of what they wanted and potentially go out of government and
1:21 pm
see angle americal continuous chancellor for the next three years in a different kind of coalition so all eyes on that meeting and five hours time just under five hours time don it may thanks and they are. now the saudi amorality coalition has launched more and ground strikes against paucity of head data in its campaign to take the area from who's the rebels now that despite your. as foreign minister announcing a pause in the offensive the upsurge in fighting has made life even more difficult for millions of civilians in what the u.n. calls the worst walls worst humanitarian crisis record gupta reports. it's a picture often buried under the buzz of warplanes and barrage of shells the picture of yemen citizens caught in a tree a war between the government their allies and who the rebels the man whose family live just outside the port city of the scene of one of the biggest battles yet but
1:22 pm
for them the rumble of empty stomachs echo louder than the bombs of the saudi and the rotty led coalition. and we can hardly earn our daily bread i do all i can to earn a living sometimes i work in a farm picking crops if not i have to borrow money this is how we are living. if we manage to have lunch with cannot afford the dinner and if we eat a late meal we can't afford an early one yemen was already the poorest country in the middle east before the region's richest nations went to war against the who the rebels but now it's been plunged into what the u.n. calls the world's worst humanitarian crisis nearly three quarters of yemen's population now needs aid that's three million more than last year and many more are on the brink of starvation half of the health facilities are closed because of airstrikes shelling lack of money and no doctors
1:23 pm
a fact that worries this family which is expecting its ninth member of the heart that. i am due any time soon i have severe pain day and night i am in deep pain without any medical care. this is our condition and it's the condition of many other families here i'm a poor man in the first place god knows and now i'm out of a job we're left without any source of income this is a really dire situation but the internationally recognized government of yemen has different priorities the president of the rebel months are hardly and military officials want to curb iran's influence the accuse it of backing the who the rebels and want them to surrender their weapons for any political talks to succeed a demand the rebels have flatly rejected. priyanka gupta al jazeera. ok now to russia where before the world cup soccer many locals had little hope that
1:24 pm
the home side would amount to much now. celebrating in victory after sunday's massive upset against spain people climb blunt pace and flooded the streets after spaniards were dispatched on penalties on the when the hosts for the quarter finals. is in moscow now so rory few of anyone could have predicted this tell us just how much fun was it in moscow last night. moscow had a party last night the likes of which people can't really remember happening before it was absolute jubilation on the streets this street where i'm standing the crossbar was the heart of it where fans were embracing each other in bracing policeman cars were driving around the city center cheating on their car horns building up a huge copy of noise they were flags flying from everywhere it was mass ecstasy
1:25 pm
let's not forget this is a national scene that was something of a national joke going into this tournament. pretty badly before the first game then they smashed their first game smashed their second game lost their third which basically meant that everyone thought the dream is over the team is going to come down with a bump against spain in the first of the knockout games the first knockout stage of a tournament that russia has actually reached in the world cup in its modern history but they upset all expectations and it was absolute jubilation on the streets and across the country this is a dream that people haven't woken up from yet it's going better than anyone could have hoped for absolutely and getting better as well as some might say for president vladimir putin who has been quite enjoying this distraction.
1:26 pm
well it's interesting the putin didn't show up to them for the match yesterday he sent the prime minister to be treated very divin said perhaps because everyone was expecting a loss and putin might not have wanted to be there when the team went out of the tournament yet this looked national sporting success is always a boost for the national mood whatever country it's in and it allows people to forget some of the day to day problems that their country might be going through but i would be a little cautious about saying that putin is going to reap some massive dividends from this other moment the ecstasy that russians are experiencing is across the board it's a political it goes across ideological divides and there is correspondingly something that else that is going on in the country at the moment which is the announcement of a quite painful series of pension reforms which actually is taking things the other
1:27 pm
way for the government making the government less popular and making producing less popular as well so there might be some balancing out in the opinion polls because of this this national sporting success but i'm not necessarily sure that putin is going to be suddenly soaring up in the in the in the opinion polls like he was they after the crimean annexation that sort of thing this is the moment seems to be something that is unifying russians across the board just purely on a sporting sense and at the moment nothing more but it's good to see the host nation being able to enjoy it to that extent really challenge thanks so much please that from moscow of course we'll bring you more world cup action this hour with joe a little later in sport by now that we have got richard here with the weather in just a moment and then buckyballs and biggest are le bron james twenty genes and a hundred and fifty four million dollars deal general also.
1:28 pm
i. mean the weather sponsored by cattle. wildfires are a way of life if you live somewhere as draw yanis generally hot as california this is the yolo county fog covering something like thirteen thousand hectares of land and is only two percent contained at the moment so obviously a cause for concern well the situation of the moment is that in that part of california there's precious little way of rain around the state but the heat is going to remain dry and enough when they're to keep it a real problem the rain that is across part of the mid atlantic and indeed across more very warm at the moment temperatures thirty seven for washington d.c. thirty four in new york where wildfires on the other side lunch expressively the u.k. are much more newsworthy because no me is never draw enough to to get them going
1:29 pm
but at the moment we are looking at really dry weather in parts of the u.k. in very warm weather in fact for bristol where i've worked for many years it looks those that drew the warmest june in one hundred years well look for that very warm air is going to continue and there won't be much in the way of anything to change it because we've only got that little area of low pressure which might be one or two showers across southwestern areas but across the u.k. the high pressure is going to sit there on the weather is going to stay dry and fine probably for the best part of ten days no change in many other parts of europe either. the weather sponsored by cateye always.
1:30 pm
1:31 pm
hello again you're watching. the top stories this hour the u.n. says more than a quarter of a million syrians have been displaced from the government offensive to retake there are province in the southwest. have been thrown into doubt with splits emerging in the opposition groups and negotiations with government ally russia. lopez obrador is set to become mexico's first leftist a president in decades speaking to ecstatic supporters in mexico city is valid to fulfill his promise of defeating corruption. and germany's interior minister to resign rather than support chancellor angela merkel's new migration deal michael had hoped the brussels deal with tougher measures on immigration would appease the c.s. q. the french government and several companies are being accused of freely selling egypt's president the tools he needs to brutally crackdown on dissent report by the
1:32 pm
international federation for human rights and other non-government organizations look not only of weapons but also sales of powerful surveillance technology. says that between two thousand and ten and two thousand and sixteen french arms sales to egypt increase from forty six million to one point five billion dollars this rapid increase takes in. time and power which began when he staged a coup in two thousand and thirteen according to the report these sales include conventional weapons and hardware warships frigates fighter jets and cruise missiles they've also sold technology to egypt security services to help to monitor citizens through mass interception and data collection there are also high tech drone sales for crowd control and the prevention of protests let's go live now to paris where we're joined by natasha butler and it's actually this is a pretty damning report. yes this report is just come out by the international federation for human rights and as you say there's
1:33 pm
a lot of detail in it i think the title of the report is very telling indeed it's called repression in egypt made in france and that is because as you detailed it says that president and his authorities have been responsible for widespread human rights abuses in egypt over the past five years and during that time weapons arms sales surveillance equipment all those sales from french companies to egypt have actually increased incredibly in that period of time so what the people behind this report are saying is that in some way the french are complicit with some of these human rights abuses it is particularly talking about eight french companies that it says or selling hardware things like a raffle fighter jets mr washington but not only those things also this very complex surveillance equipment which is used by gyptian with or it is to really survey the population survey citizens and crack down on people and light weapons inside bombs and torpedos in fact there's an interesting statistic between twenty
1:34 pm
fifteen and twenty sixteen the export licenses granted by french authorities for those sales to egypt went up from seven hundred thousand dollars a year to over two million dollars it really gives you a sense of how these sales are continuing from france and what the report says is that it has proof it has evidence that some of these weapons sold by the french are being used as part of the egyptians egyptian regime's crackdown on its people for example it talks about the use of french renaud armored vehicles being used to disperse protesters and demonstrators many of those demonstrators of course ending in many fatalities but this hour there are supposed to be checks out there on international arms sales so this is a case of france simply not complying. yes not well that's the point that the report makes because of course france has signed up to the arms trade treaty which is
1:35 pm
a treaty that tries and puts in those checks and balances which in a way tries to put in international rules for the arms trade and as part of that it says that look if if a country thinks that its arms its weapons its a vanes equipment is being used for what it calls negative consequences then those sales should simply be suspended but of course france isn't doing that and we also have the council of europe which is europe's human rights body which talks about the fact that if arms weapons are being used to oppress a population then again those arms should be suspended but france is not only continue to sell arms to egyptian authorities but as i've said it's really increased the numbers and the money it's making from this so really this report is designed to say that france should suspend these weapons sales that is wrong to do so because it really contravenes france's image in stature as a country that tries to defend international human rights ok joining us there from paris thanks and. now libya's national oil corporation is suspending exports from
1:36 pm
eastern libya follows the capture of two oil terminals last month by forces loyal to the warlord for have to up his forces have prevented or oil shipments from being loaded at several oil ports in the so-called oil crescent there is u.n. backed government has warned international companies against dealing with have top up with joins us live from tripoli so what may be libya's national oil corporation make this decision. will the national oil corporation based in tripoli which is allied with you and back the government of national accord has taken this decision to protect itself from. possible potential legal procedures that might be taken by the contracted foreign companies the force merger that is the state has been imposed by by the national oil corporation to protect itself from any legal prosecution that might be
1:37 pm

1:40 pm
