a crowded markets. let's bring in. she's coming to us via skype she's a spokeswoman for the and sasha committee of the red cross thanks very much for being with us we know that the i.c.r.c. has been in the forefront of treating those wounded in affected by this attack on a school bus can you tell us a little bit about the kind of injuries we were saying and who it was who was injured. the words we knew from our medical teams that we couldn't answer says. you know. we have a six twenty nine and i'm going to have the children. to move. to keep. putting injured. children. we have a greater mission especially. the casualties we have to see. inside the. i.c.r.c.

also. this executive action. where we are also to see the casualties in addition to medical equipment to reconsider center. which is very close to where it now how can this my. apologies dave the phone line is a little bad have already answered this but i'm just trying to get an idea of how difficult it is to treat these sort of injuries i mean these children are coming in with severe. covers and blood supplies are running very low in yemen at the moment . i mean yes of course and we have. a smiling. now in its fourth year of the conflict is this in if we can. the to a large extent. this is why the i.c.r.c. believe this is more it's changing. across san francisco plus because it's
11:07 pm
equipment care centers and so on and so course to the eight years to actually respond to all of those needs and especially the wounded and the world needed this is where we are. now you could imagine. the i.c.r.c. supports the goal is to build an army in the north and south but also in italy and indeed. in the south ok what sort of protection no or even warning do civilians get from attacks such as that. i mean. the i.c.r.c. is truly trying to make to make sense about with this money and i'm going to international humanitarian law says the news must keep you take two during a conflict like this to the conflict the i.c.r.c. urges them to sexism in life but i think every considered measure it took effect civilians and putting children in harm's italy is the lure of coolness
11:08 pm

11:09 pm
of this sort it's important its investigative story on the conclusions that investigation said i'll learn from be calling for that in this instance as. well as their cool from cultural the terrace he's involved in working in yemen who are dealing with the off the mouth of of this attack for the un security council to take some action how likely is it that it's going to well it's not clear whether or not this would be brought up as an issue for discussion the ambassador mr allen said that it's simply too early to say if that would be the case let's not forget just one week ago today yemen was the matter before the security council and it was there that the special envoy for yemen martin griffiths announced that he would be convening representatives of both the who these as well as of the yemeni government and was presumably there are saudi backers would
11:10 pm
be there in the wings to advise them for direct talks in geneva on september sixth whether or not this incident is going to to rael those plans at mr griffiths house to try to bring the yemeni war to an end is one of the outstanding questions but certainly the few people who are here at the united nations headquarters are aware of this deadly attack ok well glenn tilton joining us there from the u.n. thanks very much. now one of them bob weighs leading opposition figures has appeared in court after zambia deported him back to harare despite a court order allowing him to seek asylum tendai biti of the movement for democratic change will face charges for inciting post-election violence the m.d.c. was defeated in last week's vote which it says was rigged in favor of the ruling zanu p.f. rusher is under new pressure of the poisoning of a former double agent and his daughter in the u.k. the u.s. is imposing sanctions on moscow over the poisoning of sergei script while the state
11:11 pm
department accuses russia of using the nerve agent to poison them in the city of seoul very russia has called the allegations far fetched or a challenge as the latest from moscow. well the kremlin response is that this is categorically unacceptable illegal under international law they say they've claimed again that they had nothing to do with the poisoning of the script and that these new sanctions are essentially inconsistent with the atmosphere of corporation that they felt they got from donald trump of the helsinki summit with runaway putin some weeks ago now or they're saying that washington is an unpredictable actor on the international stage and they don't know yet what they're going to do to respond because the kremlin says it doesn't have enough information about what these u.s. sanctions actually are. however this in concert with another package of sanctions that looks to be shaping up in washington d.c.
11:12 pm
has rattles russian markets the ruble has fallen to its lowest level in twenty months and russian stocks and shares are being here to the script how sanctions come into bundles the first bundle comes into play on august the twenty second and involves limits on the exports of u.s. goods that's washington considers to be of national security importance then if the d.c. does not get the assurance from moscow that is demanding that it won't use chemical weapons again a new round of sanctions comes in in ninety days time and that will be as they put it more draconian then this separate package of sanctions that is being. cooked up in washington d.c. could further hit russia's oil and gas sector banks and look into the assets of president vladimir putin all of this shows i think really
11:13 pm
that whatever donald trump says to resume putin there is a large and powerful establishment in washington d.c. that does not like what trump is doing with regard to russia and obviously does not trust vladimir putin and is trying to protect itself from the activities of these two men which it feels may not be in the united states' best interest. a cargo ship allergic to soy beans is stranded off china effect in the trade war between china and the u.s. it arrived off the coast on the sixth of july just jump to beijing imposed a twenty five percent tariff on soybeans from the u.s. and ships owners haven't decided what to do next the chinese levies were responsive to u.s. tariffs where thirty four billion dollars. south sudan's president salva care has granted amnesty to former vice president react much r. and others involved in the five year civil war a power sharing agreement was signed earlier this week aimed at ending the conflict

11:15 pm
has said it's become too big too commercial and too expensive thousands of access comedians dancers and musicians perform every year at the edinburgh festival generating millions of dollars in revenue if parker is in the scottish capital. over its seventy one year history the edinburgh festival has grown at breakneck speed during the month of august the city's population more than doubles to festivals take place civil taney asli the international festival showcasing well established acts and the edinburgh fringe where anyone can perform with any type of performance while the other friends are really set up as almost like an act of defiance there were it companies six local scottish companies then to those companies who wanted to participate in the first international festival in one nine hundred forty seven but when damed good enough. so they decided to perform anyway and really that was the genesis of the fringe was this act of defiance this is what
11:16 pm
the festival used to look like a few dozen acts a careful selection of big performances today there were more than three and a half the town was and shows the struggle for spaces led to rising rents and expensive performance licenses some performers believe the festivals become a victim of its own success. a growing number of artists want to recreate a sense of lost all things to city in small scale low budget experimental shows this performance space far from the noise and clamor of some of the biggest shows is about as intimate as it gets with a room for only the tiniest of audiences on this occasion just me. time to still the mind and go somewhere very very different. people describe it as the being on the fringe of the friends and a lot of people like to find venues like that because it reminds them of maybe what
11:17 pm
the fringe used to be like before it became more commercial. elsewhere in the city a team of local performers has spent weeks carefully building a hundred seater amphitheater from dozens of up cycle pianos deconstructing our understanding of what theatre can be the roots of the festival are about experimentation. but unfortunately you know like many things the successful it's kind of built this whole. kind of load of collateral and things around it which are all about making a lot of money. you know it's sometimes quite hard now to find a space where you can be creative and where it's not really expensive to do what you're doing. the edinburgh festival remains one of the most important places for performers to be able to take risks without the luxury of having a big budget and often without charging an entry fee as the festival grows artists

. with all the headlines more news on al-jazeera after the stream media mars commercial capital yangon is a symbol of its rapid economic growth but in its slums families struggle to survive on borrowing money from merciless loan sharks is their hold inside the cycle of debt one when used on al-jazeera. hired by me ok and join the stream today we are joined by a superstar of afro beat femi kuti with me talking about his music his commitment to activism and the inspiration for his latest album i really could be a lot of femi and his band will play some of his best known songs in the studio today and we want to hear your questions and comments join the conversation on twitter facebook and the al-jazeera live stream. femi kuti is one of the leading lights of african music over
11:22 pm
a forty year career jazz and funk intoxicating effect having several grammy award nominations along the way his music is an inspiration to famous musicians including common and most stuff as well as younger african musicians starting their careers and he strongly committed to progressive causes not least to his work as a goodwill ambassador for the united nations children's fund now femi is touring his tenth album the recently released one people one walt ellis. every kid see. i believe my eyes are you out here on the street and welcome.
11:23 pm
to a family in kuti kongs that they have an experience that i have dipped into your instagram account to give people a little flavor so this was santa cruz california i'm just going to quit playing here so you can get the full effect of people. that look like. what i notice is that the audience is a come to see you are so diverse you tell me something about afrobeat about how it reaches such a broad audience why you think you are able to do that i think probably is the character in the music of today because. i think i've been privileged to travel and
11:24 pm
use this as a direction to mold my music and so i think this reaches out to everybody and what i talk about happens in every nation really to police is the album when people want war everybody can understand this. we talk about justice peace and love it's very simple catchy wars that. kindergarten kind of so i think this is what cuts across everybody i think our community would agree we got this from edward on twitter who says i believe families music is more optimistic and this latest album his messages are more about is more about inspiring the next generation to be confident and to unite for a collective good africa will be great again is one of my favorite so he mentions her latest album what is it that's made this different than the other i think experience and maturity and then of course my children being a father to willie direct my thinking. your children come daddy
11:25 pm
you have to find answers and you have to find positive answers for your children you can't really be negative if you leave you feel that way so i'm even forced to now find solutions politically socially because my children demand this as a father from me so of i think my whole life has changed and i think this probably have to give this about seventy percent to my children making me more responsible and only sour your eldest son is playing or that i'm from brazil just have a look at my laptop everybody this is this is a matinee and he's playing on the actual hour it was what this is that me it's the greatest feeling a father can have every parent i think when your you see your son doing well not really too in your your line but just seen his smile being involved i mean it was. i don't believe is there a big award their love probably it was so emotional for me. i have to show people
11:26 pm
this picture here because. i've seen a lot of of images of you and your family and there's a picture here of you and your eldest one is a little bit young as he was nine and then i just see love all i'm saying is this is love you're looking at him my dear me was. taller than me. but this is how it started. it's so beautiful it's i mean life is so life is i mean those are the things i've made my music change which is like this i go back in time and i see so my life goes quickly i see beauty in them in the world and i try to put this through my music before i was very i was a fighter you could see with my music from the albums trucks like stories or even seem of life i was wrong or what happened to my father i was trying to live through that grunow and on like i said being a father myself see my children grow up seeing so much love around me or try to
11:27 pm
spread this around the world what goes on in my life you mention your father i mean mention your son this is a tweet we got bridging those two things this is someone who says as much as i think this comparison to your father. is not necessary his children i mean your children for me are doing a great job to me sign it said to carry on the legacy he might just bring and add a new flavor with it so people are recognizing that familial link there but i want to move on just a little to this because someone seeing the video we saw the very beginning of the show with the energy that you had there this person asks a question which i think it's on a lot of our minds how do you find the motivation to give us to almost free world class shows every week whenever you're in lagos at the do africa shrine you in your band have been doing this for over a decade and the quality of the craft on display each time is inspiring i think this has to do with them to the case for love for my people understanding that there's a lot of poverty around me i believe in arcs. contributes in the area where the
11:28 pm
shrine was billed was give people the privilege to just come in free and watch us and then he said to turn professional and the musicians around we have to understand that we shouldn't look down on the audience you never know who is watching you and so you have to respect it will be disciplined by dr house will we have to give the same kind of energy and this will make us more professionally professional and so this was my education to the band i'm happy those that have stood beside me or with alongside me on the stand what i'm doing it you feel this with the audience so we have about probably a thousand people come in we can we can just watch the band for free so i'm looking here is boulder colorado femi kuti in the positive force boulder colorado what is the difference in the show that you did that and the show that you would do at the shrine are you doing femi light when you're on tour and any do hardcore fans at the shying but the difference the difference is we were costumes were more professional on top. light hearted when we were rehearsal we put is like
11:29 pm
it's like a magnet you have to put hundred percent of the competition starts you are flexible so we put like a thousand percent at the rehearsal when we want or even maybe make a mistake on stage you hardly hear and we can play around the mistakes we can joke about it because we have repeated it so many times so we are going to hear from you give one hundred percent in just a moment the first song on our show today no work no job no money but first let's hear from one of his fans i open coalescent us this comment about the impact of families at work. i love for me especially because he created his own mission of funky afrobeat blew our minds and we are connected very strongly with my generation and femi has beauty has worked very hard to maintain that for me the woful be blunt you know since then he is music to me represents african consciousness
11:30 pm
11:31 pm
so where did all the fall be dealt with. i think when i find it difficult to get out of office. regarding glasses or i'm going to get off the bottom of the. nominee of the bar there's not a lot of the. night in. the long haul for longer than say the suffering of the. vision of. a long history. of walking through a campaign of the hard of many on the ticker is the cause of all of the stuff going to the good and skills of the people in the cause it's all. good thoughts all. the suffering enough to back me and to feel nothing and i. agree.
11:32 pm
to talk really move you are. going to result in a small the this is. no no no no it's up on the case with the suffering of the guys back a bit now to try to get all three. more to talk the way you are in. regards to britney salsas we got to produce something behind because. they just tough enough to take missional god like three. teams are truly sometimes people are. under pressure is on. the.
11:33 pm
11:34 pm
the three. common faith down by me tell me which the branding. the band member said we can take them this is everybody just isn't everybody that's our band leader where you're me and. you have a lot by. keyboards. who dances. but she's different on stage and we'll get you know without going to see the four and packed of the dancing oh i want to talk about you act and you could hear that in that song every single song you sing i'm going to show an image here and this is you doing some humanitarian work with the international rescue committee surrounding by kids who love you and i'm trying to think what is it that they're drawn to i'm going to show one thing first this is kind of musician do
11:35 pm
a bunch of kids. click play let's have a look. ok if they did nothing that was drawn to you what is it that you bring when you go out and you go out into the community and you say i'm going to use my my fame is what are you doing. i'm taking humility i'm taking my honesty and most importantly the music along with me i took my i took my musical instrument on i think we all saw him and the wall wondering what was in my bag and they could see what's me about what's in your bag so i opened it and. of course i think he realized it was a musical instrument is it politically and i was like all this was in my degree it
11:36 pm
was. do some more and i merely you have to see the the suffering there is beautiful it's really heartbreaking and i wish i had a magic wand to just like change their lives and all i had was my musical instrument i didn't have enough money because they were very they were starving there and i thought all i could do was probably give them some pool play my musical instrument so i did play for them and then they said to follow me around like you obvious in the studio is it by. the what those they said follow me everywhere i was going i said. it was really it was nice very joyful so here are a couple more people that would likely follow you anywhere this is to perkins who is watching you perform on the show and says it was electric then use energy as a rare rocking the extreme studio someone else writes dragon energy that's his hand or he says simply genetic pushing on the topic you were just talking about why people are following you this is
11:37 pm
a world publicist who says his music touches on the true story of nigeria and the need for gerry adams both young and old to read about and remember their history he also addresses societal issues like poverty unemployment and political issues like corruption on his songs those can always be popular topics. you're exposing corruption you're doing it through song these are serious issues that the lyrics that i wrote down different. resources from africa and a lost last fall we heard what's the pushback what do you face in terms of obstacles when you get up very difficult for you to get rid of preboard now these days i get the which is fantastic. and what we build the strike it was we had lots of police raids and for a good eight years this was so hard to move into the shrine and i had to move in with my children and to build somewhere very safe for them on top of the building like in secret compartment where we were just having police raise after police raids and this went on for a good eight years but this reminded me of my father so i stood strong many people
11:38 pm
don't realize all this happened in my life because i had like a complete blackout from the media the the government paid a lot of media people not to write about the raids or what was going on so it was a complete blackout in my life so but at this time i had i still had the opportunity to talk so unfortunately for the government i was still making my name was creating a big impact in san francisco miami wherever i was store in paris i mean i have very strong support outside the country and people back home don't realize this because nobody really talks about it thank god for social media now i compose this shows and people like you talk to people on social media all the time they don't even believe is a. way to write. because i'm very tired or my english can be very bad. forgive me for that people people who come to the shine
11:39 pm
now because it is famous because you are playing them because there is a more i was there i am so glad you see. first of all let's see him dancing everybody so you have to believe that even the president france will be dancing at the shrine of the irony of that this is a very limited. he was trying to move like a knot it. was more like. this i was holding all the moves because it's like you go i am here he's here he's sitting at the shrine have a look at my laptop here and there's a little secret so he's here you say very nice things about president mccall he's
11:40 pm
having a fantastic time the audience haven't you chad. is you obviously boned it is and you don't like politicians because he was very honest i have to see he reached out to me and said he wanted to come to the shrine i mean people like pretended they were bringing him and when i saw interest officials i wanted to calm here what's june two thousand and two and what he what i got from him we spoke about the my great crisis he was willing to address africa's problem and princie and france's role and so the next time i have the opportunity i'll be speaking frankly with him on many of these issues that i'm very concerned about but he was very open he didn't have this kind of barrier like or like a snob kind of thing and he he he insisted he wanted to come to this trying despite all the feedback like don't go and he was like he even said it several times i was fine we could see in two thousand and two people pretend it was my father but to pretend it was because of my father and no matter how many times a mentioned my name they give credit to my father so i took it to another level
11:41 pm
well whether it's for me is still the pull simple it's a game we're playing africa has to be for you making a statement by saying could cause he is the slowest so. it's fine for me the call my father my name the bottom line this rhyme is there for there must be one of africa and we want total freedom for africa to excel and i strongly believe given the opportunity africa will excel and will be their way of the world imagine we had real allies like in europe i mean can you imagine travelling from lagos to dramas but by train those kind of trees we see three hundred center kilometers per hour while the beauty africa will spread in the wall and this is what i see this is my dream with my music that way to this last question from someone also named family if you are not in nigeria. no no you. only here on twitter says please ask her what he thinks about new they do generation of musical activism nigeria and africa. i would want to be critical
11:42 pm
of the artists because we were we were all young and we bought their song that are very. outspoken these days i think i heard one of i can remember the names i think fall i know his outspoken be a few that are speaking out but what my the only thing i fear about is i wish more than musical instruments because what happens in music is a serious law or medicine what happens when they get to my age and is that going green onboard another generation will come and the only reason you'll be relevant is eve you have something to offer for the next generation my father is important because he was a composer historied music you talk of people like miles davis dizzy gillespie your stevie wonder they are only relevant because the music is should be seen as medicine or law or engineering on a little grave and this picture here with you and your fella right you are still growing so they're out and so we're going to end this show with another performance
11:43 pm
from the ferry thank you so much for the new line the positive force. one people one world that's a live thing over on his latest album and while he gets set up let's hear from angelica joe another african music legend who's touring with sammy and had this to say are you working the family for somebody recently also as you said goodwill ambassador both of us will be working on many issues in his image his honesty has always come across very strongly and most importantly being the son of a legend is easy but he kept the torch very high by keeping making africa equal even more than forty. want to be the. one with the well the.
