the mourners shelter slogans again so that every year and who they say is its biggest ally and supply the united states these people have come from various parts of the country to give a proper sendoff to those who died in the latest sodium to coalition strike. but security was tight at the ceremony which was attended by several high ranking officials the funerals was supposed to take place on saturday but while postponed due to security fees the children want to tunning from a school summer camp but when their boss talked of the busy market it was targeted by airstrikes unicef has called the carnage the single biggest attack on children since the war in yemen escalated in two thousand and fifteen. images of the children covered in blood and reeling from shock provoked into mush. request all parties to the conflict to end the attacks against civilians against children in particular against infrastructure and we plea for them to enter into

a situation of hostilities to put an end to these war the cerruti i'm about to call you should initially denied aiming at civilians and defend the incident as a legitimate military operation a response it's a top ballistic missile fired into so that if you're the previous day but hours later the coalition promised to investigate i don't think it will be accepted that the side that has committed this crime. is allowed to investigate it because we know that it's old idea that coalition has investigated many. crimes like the great feeling that a whole lot of strikes they did and that is not a sole task come from this investigation the united nations security council has called for a credible and transparent investigation into the talk the war in yemen has left

ten thousand people to what the u.n. describes as the world's wast humanitarian crisis the u.n. special envoy to yemen might think that if it has invited parties in the conflict the talks in geneva from the sixth of september. to get a cease fire deal before them so far failed. the world is either djibouti still ahead for you on this new sound from london. the mobley's president makes his first public address since winning the disputed election again blaming the opposition for inciting violence. a year on from sierra leone's devastating mudslide we talked to survivors whose loved ones remain buried under this amount and now after hitting the heights in toronto rough on the dull decides to skip is next i want to have that story a bit later in school. now

donald trump has taken to twitter to lash out at former white house aide omarosa manigault newman who was fired late last year u.s. president described the former apprentice contestant as wacky and not smart i want house correspondent kimberly joins us now kimberly what prompted trump to make these comments. well certainly omarosa manigault newman is selling a book so this is certainly been a reaction to some of the revelations from her book that she's using to promote the sales that will go out on tuesday that she has secret recordings of her being fired by the chief of staff john kelly and also the president's reaction to the news that she was being fired in the second recording this is obviously raising alarm bells given the fact that these recordings were done in an area that should be secure and has broad national security issues but as well this is sort of adding to the

already low public discourse and inflaming tensions particularly when it comes to race given the fact that. she have a long standing relationship with the president but is also was one of the few african-americans being put employed in the west wing of the white house so certainly this is concerning to many americans as well though the white house saying that this is a perhaps ad and missed opportunity for a woman they say was given the opportunity to influence or to perhaps try and use her status to heal relations in the united states particularly when it comes to race but instead they argue is doubling down on division in order to promote her upcoming tell all book that is going on sale on tuesday and yet as you say president was already facing problems with i q's ations that he deliberately fuel racial tensions in the u.s. how much how much of a dilemma is this for him. it's

a problem that there are the ongoing low approval ratings among african-americans in the united states but at the same time it is important to note that some polls do show that well those ratings were dismal when the president took office they have increased slightly essentially from the teens to the low twenty percent that has a lot to do with a strong economy in the fact that black unemployment rates are among the lowest they have been in decades so certainly there are some that believe that there is an improvement in relations but it certainly are is not a positive relationship overall according to most polls and that stems from the fact that when the president has had an opportunity perhaps such as charlottesville a year ago where there were white nationalist protestors and there was violence the president many argue should have come out denouncing that but instead he denounced violence on both sides so what many people say may have been an attempt at objectivity in fact has only harm to lead to further divisions in the united states

and so this is sort of another example of where many believe the president had an opportunity he could have been having fact invited more african-americans into the white house instead what we have now is one that was given an opportunity the white house says really using and squandering that opportunity and now taking to the airwaves to essentially call the president a racist thank you can but i want house correspondent well now zimbabwe's president elect is urging the country to move on from last month's disputed election as it marks the as he eight years of independence i'm assuming it was supposed to be sworn in on sunday but the ceremony can only go ahead with approval from the constitutional court harm in the capital harare. president elect a muslim and i got asked political leaders to remain calm it's his first public appearance since his inauguration was postponed after the main opposition alliance filed court papers on friday preventing it from going ahead zimbabwe is even more

divided since last month's disputed election and post election violence we aren't going to. end this. violence post of me there for our elections you see result. there is also what you know since citizens made their souls where did all these. armies do a commission of inquiry. first gate. it is not. we are. heroes day is one of them bob is most important national holidays is to remember those who fought in the civil war to end white minority rule in one nine hundred eighty some of those veterans are still in the government and army opposition supporters blame the ruling party for the violence the main opposition to the genocide released they say

there is nothing to celebrate. he says his supporters are being systematically targeted by the ruling party he won last month's election. earlier this month six people were shot and killed when the army dispersed opposition supporters protesting against election results the international community has called for the military to use restraint zimbabwe isn't limbaugh all people can do is wait the swearing in ceremony will only happen after constitutional judges give the ruling. because. of the. courts the only other implications of the decision. is final so politically it will be the. judges could declare managua the winner and he sworn into office within forty eight hours or they could order a recount or

a fresh election within sixty days if political leaders refuse to accept the court's decision that could create more political and economic instability. hundreds of people are still missing one year after a devastating mudslide on the outskirts of sierra leone's capital the worst natural disaster in the nation's history killed more than eleven hundred people i'm going to address reports now from freetown. seventeen year old much a cutter is returning to where her family home used to be for the first time since last year's disaster. that means of our father mother four sisters two brothers and a brother in law are still trapped under this must of rock like hundreds of other victims rescue workers one able to retrieve their bodies. i cry anytime i remember them live less file when they were around right now i must

work for someone who pays me now with money but with food to eat and. when i would use it as talk to my to last august in hospital she was looking for an aunt she hoped was still alive she didn't fina after three days of torrential rains part of sugarloaf mountain broke away and crashed onto a once vibrant community burying homes and people most could not be saved due to lack of equipment manpower and bad weather so i was of the two thousand and seventeen tragedy still come here to get close to relatives they didn't get the chance to say proper goodbye to hundreds are believed to be buried under the rubble the government plans to build a monument of salt here for the missing and the dead more than five hundred victims of the disaster were buried here their graves tones bare no names some content just body parts are few kilometers from the cemetery i fifty two unit housing estate was

built by three local construction companies. the houses were donated to the government for the survivors but it can only accommodate one hundred fifty of them . yeah the reddest alter eleven thousand people and this eleven thousand people not everybody in here lost it outs steen. then for we stay here we find things difficult the survivors have now been asked to pay monthly rents on the hauser's sugarloaf mountain remains very unstable a few weeks ago huge boulders of rock came tumbling down causing panic among villagers the government has demolished more homes that are considered unsafe on the first anniversary of the disaster survivors including mccotter still without a hole are looking to the government for help and hope that they can get

a new start in life. and i have my joins us live now to tell us what is the the atmosphere like there in freetown a year after this natural disaster. well a lot of a lot of sadness still people a lot of people still remember what happened almost one year ago and this place right behind me is where this vigil is going to take place it looks like it's running behind shuttle but the venue is not far from where this disaster happened on the fourteenth of august two thousand and seventeen if i move from here we'll go straight to the sugarloaf mountain which is just some four hundred meters four to five hundred meters from where the vigil is taking place right over there is the sugarloaf mountain and you can see exactly what happened on the fourteenth of

august two thousand and seventeen chunk of that mountain came down right where those debris are in fact homes from the top down there and then the mud and the and the other debris just cascaded right down and into the ocean which is not far from where we standing right now so a lot of people are still missing it's estimated that one thousand two hundred people have been killed only five hundred people or body parts have been recovered so far so right down there there are a lot of bodies trapped for example at the girl we spoke to in that report pointed to us that that big rock over there is where their house used to be and right beside it another big rock is right on top of several other houses so a lot of people are still expecting some miracle of sort but there is virtually no way those bodies can retrieve right now so much has happened in this place and so

much memories still people are still. i feel attached to this particular environment the site in fact is actually being funded now by the united nations united nations agency which is developing and planting trees to honor the victims of this natural disaster and it's quite quite beautiful and quite sad actually the scene behind you there where parts of this mountain just basically fell down what is being done can you tell us more about efforts to help people that lost their homes people that were displaced as a result of the month slide. well basically what happened or what's even happening right now probably is so far away but you can see heavy duty equipment right there but they've been engaged in demolishing structures that are considered unsafe in this particular environment and it's from all indications nobody is coming back to the place some houses have been built outside of freetown

so a lot of families more than one hundred fifty people have been accommodated there the head of the association of victims all survivors of this disaster this unfortunate disaster is telling me that eleven thousand of them have been registered and only one hundred fifty accommodated so many of them are actually out of freetown right now because they cannot even afford to attend tonight's vigil they are too poor to pay their way and as we understand now the government has even provided buses to bus in victims all survivors of this disaster to even come to attend the ceremony that's taking place here and the one that's happening tomorrow so many families many people especially the orphans have to move out of freetown because the story so expensive for them to leave you have to go to the closest relation they can find some of them travel two hundred fifty kilometers away from frito just to be closer to a member of

a family who can take care of them and that is very very difficult for so many so many people mariam at the moment thank you very much. what is happening there and indeed how the area is recovering from this ahmed address in freetown. point on the program. senior government figures and businessmen in kenya are arrested as part of a nationwide crackdown on corruption. turkey's stepped up efforts to find a diplomatic solution to a looming military escalation in syria's province. and press john are now there makes the perfect stock phrase mean plan b. is here with that story and at a later. hello

a bad of the country's budget is lost to corruption and mismanagement every part of where i'm optimistic is that for the first time it's not just the job of the director of public prosecutions or the and the corruption commission it's a multi agency so we're going at this with everything that we have. and in the spirit of the crackdown demolitions of buildings of good reserves and retired inland say to have been acquired for me is ongoing so this is one of the buildings what millions of dollars that have been brought down by the government in the last few weeks if it's right next to an important stream the next one to go is all sense of that the owners have already started bringing down the path for demolition. this is president at his last time in office and he's promised more jobs through the manufacturing industry he vassal health care affordable housing and food security for that to happen he needs to deal decisively with corruption i

more information about what happened on sunday during the run of vote and that includes allegations of fraud and other violations leveled by the opposition side against the ruling party they mentioned the finding of stocks of ballot papers that have been signed and stamped with the name of presidency by him but also mention the missing ballot papers inside polling stations across the country other violations and disruptions have caused the dysfunctioning of the closure of about one hundred polling stations particularly in the center and in the north the oversea of a polling station in the region of timbuktu was killed by unknown gunmen however today a group of observers representing the. group of nations in africa organized a press conference they mentioned some of these disruptions but they said that they do not amount to what can be used to disqualify this election also we have been in

touch with the electoral commission about the turnout figures some of those some of the sources talked about twenty two points thirty eight percent turnout yesterday the electoral commission denied that and said that the turnout so far is calculated between thirty and forty percent they also mentioned that they have counted up to now more than eighty percent of the ballot papers but the official results can be announced only in a matter of two or three days. now turkey says it's stepping up military and diplomatic efforts to avoid what it calls catastrophe in syria's province it's working with russia to prevent a humanitarian fallout from a possible syrian government offensive to retake the rebel held province say no harder reports. the syrian government says it is going to take the lead army helicopters dropped leaflets telling rebels and civilians in the opposition controlled northwestern province that it is better to join reconciliation

agreements as others in syria have done that rebels have agreed to such deals when on the verge of military defeat so far those in it looks like they are not ready to surrender instead they arrested dozens of people they accuse of promoting a return to state rule know a lot of our security track down people who are promoting reconciliation with the regime they're trying to help the regime into some areas so we arrested them they're waging psychological warfare to weaken the morale of the fighters and people they collaborating with the regime. like in previous assaults the syrian government backs up calls for reconciliation with military action state media showed reinforcements being brought to the conscripts of months of cars were temporarily shattered in recent days dozens of civilians were killed in airstrikes that targeted towns and villages on the fringes of the province but despite this many believe the wide scale assault is not looming. the regime wants to control

not just the place but the turks will play a role in the brawlers is under turkey's protection and turkey will reach an agreement with russia it will force her to leave the show. or join the rebel brigade. the group formerly known as al nasra and al qaida syria affiliate harasser dina have not shown any intention to disband turkey was under pressure from its political allies russia and iran to eliminate them possibly using syrian rebels. the pressure may now turkey had warned russia and iran that a government offensive in adlib would threaten their political alliance the three countries the main stakeholders in the syrian conflict have been cooperate ing through the so-called asked and process their partnership has recently taken a whole new meaning the united states has declared economic war against them.

cooperation between players could stave off a battle that could affect the lives of billions in limited military operations however are expected to rob the edges of the province the government wants to secure the highways and prevent it little be used to attack it strongholds so. the right. charles lister is a senior fellow and director of extremism and counter-terrorism at the middle east institute he joins us now from washington thank you very much for taking the time to join us on the news hour. has been for a while now the largest remaining rebel stronghold in syria how imminent might a government offensive be into the heart of. it's pretty hard to tell at this point i mean obviously tensions are as high as they've been for a very long time but i think all of the major actors involved probably including the regime know that the task ahead for a major escalation in hostilities towards the heart of it live is you know a major major undertaking with serious serious risks for all involved at the moment

as i think is your package just said we seem to have seen a return to diplomacy for now after a significant ratcheting up of tensions the danger of course is that there's a great deal of spoilers involved here. that could potentially create the conditions in which hostilities just happen whether or not any of the major stakeholders involved want it to or not so i think the eyes need to beyond those kind of actors the groups linked to al qaeda as well as the diplomatic initiatives which mostly are happening behind the scenes at the moment appear to be significant enough that tensions have definitely reduced over the last twenty four hours you have an array of different groups that are active in at the moment how would a government campaign into the province what how would it affect the environment what would they be getting involved in show what i mean i imagine if there was a major escalation in hostilities the vast majority of on groups and it would end up fighting against it there are active regime attempts and they have been for

quite some time to undermine portions of the opposition to encourage them to engage in what the regime calls reconciliation basically amounts to severe pressure ending up in surrender and deals with the government but i think when push comes to shove and if hostilities really did explode in the northwest of syria the threat that that represented would probably at least in an interim period result in the vast majority of those groups fighting and that means the entire array basically of the syrian armed opposition plus al qaida so very moderate free syrian army groups which do remain active on the ground who have had longstanding relationships with the international community. going up all the way through the kind of ideological periphery through the muslim brotherhood up to more committed sufis groups like. then going to hate to hear sham h.t.s. and all the way up to and including the groups that are now more overtly allied with al qaida that whole array of groups would almost certainly end up resisting an

armed campaign but how that progressed over time i think would remain to be seen specially looking at the periphery or one thing that is certain is the broad based government campaign would have serious humanitarian costs we know that turkey has a long struggle to deal with refugees in and around its border with syria would turkey intervene to stop a government campaign ad lib well you're right to point to the humanitarian effects i mean at a major escalation of hostilities and it would make every single of the conflict in syria look like a drop in the ocean in comparison the area is currently home to about at least three million people about a third of whom are already internally displaced in terms of the turks that has a major implication they've solidly shut down the border with that lip and they've said they have no intent of reopening it up so the humanitarian catastrophe that will result inside syria would be huge turkey obviously also has other concerns with regards to terrorism both from al qaida and p.k.

affiliated groups like the white b.g. which has suggested in recent days that it might be willing to cooperate with the regime offensive into eclipso with the turks intervene as you question i think the chances are more likely that they would i think what the reason why we've seen a diplomatic uptick in the last few days is because turkey forced the restart of the real diplomatic talks on this issue they very clearly clearly labeled the question a red line and i think at least for now they intend to abide by that thank you very much appreciate your analysis on this story charles lister a senior fellow and director of extremism in counterterrorism that middle east institute in washington. well now to indonesia where the government is saying that it will take a long time for people to rebuild their lives after this month's earthquake on the island of longbox at least four hundred thirty six people are now known to have died and the damage bill has risen to more than three hundred forty million dollars ever morgan reports rescued alive from the rubble this boy is one of the lucky ones

he's at least being treated for his injuries but his mother says even that was a struggle because the earthquake destroyed thousands of buildings including hospitals and medical centers at mabille and that abacha had i didn't know if my son had fractures or not and there was no facility and i was told to stay away from home remedies that's why i came to the military hospital where there are volunteers . that are. more than a week after the six point nine quake struck the search for survivors is drawing to a close more than four hundred thirty bodies have been recovered but many more remain missing treating the injured has also been a major challenge as many parts of the island are almost impossible to access now. volunteers have been doing their best to find out and it's a route through the destruction of the event that patients with fractures come to us because we have five operation rooms and our doctors of volunteers who join the

military team we have.
