rockets fall clothes dr dollar stars presidential palaces the president delivers and the the message. clocks all wrong when you're watching al-jazeera live my headquarters here in doha coming up in the next thirty minutes a warning from anderson suv chief he says there is a threat of terrorism in me and miles of rakhine state. also making it sound official turkey complains to the world trade organization about u.s. tariffs as president one labels them an attack on his country. and struggling to celebrate inside the camp where hundreds of thousands of syrians are marking unsure when they'll go home.

welcome to the program the presidential palace in the afghan capital has come under attack just a day after president danny pushed for a lengthy new cease fire but he was delivering an either message on choose the morning when it happened those rockets were fired towards the building in kabul they did not hit the palace but several shells fell in the surrounding diplomatic quarter there's been no reports of any injuries afghan military helicopters did fire at the house where they suspect the rockets may have come from. is a specialist on regional security joins me now from kabul good to have you with us live on al-jazeera i mean what does this latest attack tell us about sort of the ongoing lack of security in the capital. well this is absolutely new a sort of tactic by the palace because previously they have been attacking. certain targets but this time they have used rocket launchers to launch attack against. a

distance locations and i bring this change affect certainly what a big government it has created a sense of concern and worry among the general public because it has never minded the public be around about twenty five years. civil war for the general public where these rocket attacks were and taken by different factions within the city so really concerning situation for the public as well as for the government and indeed as yet no be has taken responsibility but we are assuming it's is the taliban if that is the case. in a time like this while the president is delivering either greetings really underlines the covered position of the potential cease fire that was offered by kabul. you see i've been seeing this time and again the taliban have a certain group which believes in military offensive rather than the peace process

and they have been after disrupting the whole negotiation and the peace process back on as identity was part of the ploy and they have been trying to attack different sources who disrupt the peace process sense of what then shall not be should negotiate and they also want to negate the truce the december conditional truce offered by the of one government so not a good sign for the other one peace process and it's certainly an effort to disrupt and hearts the peace process by a challenging the. conditional offer by the afghan government how do you expect that the government to react will a talk at the results is to have a meant to kill a factions all the taliban as you say they're not one cohesive group they are all different factions working and fighting in different parts of the country. well the government has only been disappointed last time when they announced the

ceasefire but due to going to end up ramadan and getting even holidays it was unconditional and whether the taleban announced it or it's appropriate you are not but this time the president announced at least that the fayyad mainly conditioning is on the reciprocation from the taliban side and he ordered the military official then and leadership that they should continue to defy think as long as they hear back from the taliban. in case they don't announce the cease fire it won't get into effect so already the government has responded to the collarbone in the guard to cease fire will we see what happens in the coming hours for the green thanks for joining us from kabul. mere miles leader and sons who chooses the danger of what she calls terrorism is real and present in rakhine state she issued the warning during a speech in singapore. the risks of into communal violence will remain unless the

security challenge is addressed she's been criticized for not speaking out against a military crackdown on ring of muslims in northern rakhine the united states imposed sanctions against the military on sunday the danger of terrorist activities which was initial course of course of the events leading to the humanitarian crisis in rakhine remains real and present today and this is security challenges address the risk of intercommunal violence will remain it is a thread that could have grave consequences not just for myanmar but also for other countries in our region and beyond well france who is our correspondent kuala lumpur been listening in to that presentation but uncertain suchi there's a chance really for suchi to sort of set the record straight as far as the ringarooma concerned i mean what else did she say. well it's no surprise that the myanmar government says the threat of terrorism still exists in recalling states

after all that was the reason yanmar military launched a crackdown on the rear hinge or about a year ago last august now and they said the military crackdown against iraq hinges was. started because there was an attack by ranger fighters on security and border posts in northern rakhine state now this was perpetrated by a small group of range of fighters who call themselves are so this is an acronym and they say the fighting for the human rights of revenge themselves on sun city has come under immense criticism for her and her government's handling of the ranger crisis now and she particularly. for failing to speak up before the break in your mind or a t. for failing to adequately investigate the atrocities committed by the military her government has conducted internal investigations but these have been led by men in the military and all those seven soldiers while timidly found guilty of committing

crimes against the ranger many people feel this is just the tip of the iceberg u.n. investigators who've been trying to gain access into the country still have not been able to enter the country and conduct independent investigations and lately she's come under even more criticism for allowing the country to backslide on democratic reforms the best example of that is the trial of two reuters journalists were expecting a verdict on monday they've been on trial for allegedly obtaining state secrets charges that they say were trumped up against them and even a millet even a police officer has gone on trial to say that they were set up for investigating and reporting on a massacre against him jim and in recalling state so that's against that's the backdrop against which she's delivered his speech and when she talks about integrating the community and of how there could be further violence between the recliner and the roof in your minority. in rakhine state it's you know.

the government hasn't done anything adequately to try and reintegrate these two societies so government has to be doing a lot more and it's for this reason that they've come under a lot of criticism just briefly florence i mean even rights groups of these be keeping a very close of what's going on in recalling states a recent report has a narrative from one of them that really does make good reading as i believe you're talking about the human rights watch report now and also answer she was asked a very pointed question during the talk in singapore she was asked whether there was going where the government had set a timeframe to resolve the crisis and she had replied that this is not up to us because we are also depending on bangladesh bangladesh has to send the remainder refugees back to us and that myanmar has been ready to receive the range of refugees since the start of this year but this is a little bit disingenuous and human rights watch. said very recently or just today

that. ranger refugees who have returned to me and i have been tortured and imprisoned by myanmar authorities they were referring specifically to six range of men who had gone over to bangladesh to escape persecution and then returned to me and not to try and find jobs to support their family they were caught they were imprisoned they were tortured and then they were pardoned and presented to a group of journalists as ranger refugees who had voluntarily returned to now human rights watch says this is a blatant example of how conditions still don't exist for revenge or refugees to return to myanmar in a safe and dignified manner for them it will leave it there florence france through the call of the process. the trade war between the u.s. and turkey is escalating turkey has filed a complaint with the world trade organization of u.s. tariffs on steel and alum and even ports donald trump ordered a doubling of tariffs earlier this month after taking a refused to release an american pastor who's been detained for nearly two years

now the turkish government retaliated with tariffs on some u.s. imports if. there's no difference between the direct attacks on our call to prayer in our flag and the attack on our economy the goal is the same the goal is to bring to heel turkey and the turkish nation to hold a captive we're a nation that prefers to be shot in the nick rather than to be chained at the name . molly is a professor of political science at the university of waterloo in canada she says it was right for turkey to take this dispute to the w t o. the united states is claiming that there is some sort of national security imperative and putting on these tariffs and it's up live in too many countries as you said including canada which really finds its way so that's probably the right you know right move to take but of course that's going to be very painful for turkey and i would also point out this hits turkey specifically an air to want and his political base because they're very much dependent on economic growth in the building sector in the construction

sector so this is of course a very important but good having steel in construction is very important so it's going to hurt definitely many of those very close to early ones out we can't really blame the united states for all of economic troubles of turkey because certainly it's been in high debt situation increasingly of manning allowing interest rates to rise enough to sort of combat some of these dilemmas a lot of dollar denominated debt i mean it's very much i think a home grown problem some of which i don't want or making but certainly the announcements of tariffs on turkey and just the overall sort of you know instability brought into the currency market is definitely not to rattle a lot of people and this is going to cause turkey more headache and grief economically for sure of urgency workers in the indian state of carola medicine and disinfectants to prevent waterborne diseases more than one point two million

people are now living in temporary camps after the worst flooding in a century rescues or finding more bodies as the water recedes around four hundred people have died so far under thomas has more from call of it kyra. carolus chief minister says there are now more than a million people living in temporary relief shelters across the state he's also given an update on the weather situation carol and has had two and a half times the normal rainfall in august so far now the waters are receding the weather has improved in the last twenty four forty eight hours it's been more sunny and rainy that's the good news but of course that brings its own problems as the water level drops the problems of disease is increased things like mosquitoes can breed in pools and then of course with this much water around much of it dirty because it's been sewage people are having to deficit in the open because they're not put toilets in the facilities where they are that brings the risk of things

like the favor in the case. or cholera is also another problem to add to the mix snakes that been more than fifty people admitted to hospital with relatively minor snakebites from viper's if such a thing can be minor but that is just another problem to add to those of their state. well still ahead here on al-jazeera taiwan no longer exists for another country well south of the drops its diplomatic recognition as it sounds the deal with china. out of school and on the battlefield the children of on the front lines of yemen the civil war to stay with us. hello again good to have you back well we are watching some active weather here across parts of the philippines of manila you're seeing some rain showers in your

welcome back you're watching on his own cell robin a reminder of our top stories that got his son's presidential palace has come under attack after president danny pushed for a new cease fire with the taliban he was delivering either message when rockets were fired towards the building they landed in the surrounding streets no injuries have been forces be amassed the dancing suchi says the danger of what she calls terrorism is real and present in rakhine state suchi says communal violence will remain unless the security challenge is addressed she's been criticized for not speaking out against a military crackdown on the running of the streets. and turkey has filed a complaint with the world trade organization over u.s. tariffs on steel an element of imports donald trump doubled levies earlier this month after turkey refused to release an american pastor accused of links to the failed coupe of twenty six city. taiwan says it will not bow to

pressure from china after yet another country cut diplomatic ties president sighing when he criticized el salvador's decision to establish relations with beijing instead the third nation to do so china has been pressuring countries and companies to back advise taiwan as part of its territory so i called china's behavior out of control. he ended the war with the today's china is not only a menace to cross straight relations what china is doing right now all over the world no matter if it's interfering in the end if it is of countries or destroying the order of international markets it has already caused a high degree of global instability we need to remind the international community that this is not only related to taiwan that we will not tolerate the serious situation in a more only seventeen countries not have diplomatic ties with taiwan most of them

are impoverished nations in the pacific region or latin america such as haiti prague jurist and nicaragua taiwan's only diplomatic ally left in africa is swaziland both taiwan and beijing have engaged in years of diplomatic tugs of war in developing countries china has offered economic support from the world's second largest economy to smaller nations as a bargaining chip taiwan is not recognized as an independent country by much of the world nor the united nations wagering browed has more from beijing. well this is another important symbolic diplomatic victory for china as it seeks to pick off one by one those countries that still have diplomatic relations with taiwan since zion when became president of taiwan in january two thousand and sixteen five countries have severed ties with taiwan el salvador now joining that lengthening list on choose day taiwan's foreign ministry reacted angrily taiwan's foreign minister

joseph who said that china was luring away taiwan's allies with promises of vast financial aid he said this was a game that taiwan was not prepared to play well of course this all comes just as zion when has been on a stopover in the united states she'd been visiting billie's and paragliding two of the seventeen countries that still recognize taiwan she made a speech in the united states the first time a taiwanese leader has done that in ten years that upset the chinese and then lo and behold literally just a day later we learned that el salvador has decided to sever ties with taiwan now taiwan said that it knew what el salvador was planning to do in fact it had an idea this was going to happen back in june it a try to persuade el salvador not to do this but of course in the end it simply lost out in the inevitable bidding war with china there is now just one country in africa that has ties with taiwan that is swaziland and i think china would very

much like swaziland to come into its orbit before early september because that's when president xi jinping will be hosting an africa china summit here in beijing. the australian prime minister malcolm turnbull has survived a leadership challenge by his home affairs minister peter dutton turnbull won the vote forty eight to thirty five dozen resigned as a minister shortly afterwards turnbull's leadership has been under pressure he was forced to make changes to his energy policy after members of his own party threatened to vote against it that today the liberal party room has confirmed my leadership and julies deputy leadership of the liberal party a reminder of the need for political parties and for governments to be united and determined to keep delivering for the people for whom they work twenty five million australians now we know that disunity undermines the ability of any

government to get its job done and unity is absolutely critical we cannot allow as i said in the party room today internal issues to undermine our work a man suspected of being a former nazi camp guard has been deported from the us to germany the justice department says ninety five year old jack of paoli served at a death camp in nazi occupied poland during world war two he lied to immigration officers about his role when entering the us in one nine hundred forty nine protest as have been calling for his deportation since two thousand and three after he was trying down by federal officers survivors of sex abuse by catholic clergy say a letter of apology from pope francis doesn't go far enough the head of the roman catholic church has to spare no effort to root out sex abuse but attempts to cover it up pull to durgin has more tim was just twelve when he says he was raped by his

catholic parish priest he believes the pope's low of apology is not enough words words words thoughts on purpose does not make a child safer. he could with the stroke of a pen demand that every diocese in the world release the records no more secret files to him another survivors also want the pope to punish bishops who have covered up abuse the pope's letter comes days after a u.s. state of pennsylvania report estimated that three hundred roman catholic priests in their state alone molested at least one thousand children over the past eight decades what are prayers in penance going to do for folks who are now abusing alcohol and drugs to self medicate because a priest raped down. at three what are prayers and penance going to do

the pope is dealing with similar cases of abuse and cover up around the world in south america chilean authorities raided catholic church headquarters as part of their investigation of sex abuse by members of the marist brothers order and head of the pope's visit to ireland this weekend bishop accountability dot org has added a new database of names of irish priests and church employees accused of child abuse if the vatican was approaching this issue with integrity a pope would have come here and not just kissed the ground when he landed because money is nice and acknowledge the truth of what's happened in this country in the vatican's role in us fifteen years ago and people need to the top of this is nice and far. any acknowledgment of the abuse issue to be a mere afterthought i think it's his reprehensible. but this isn't the first time the pope has acknowledged sex abuse and asked for forgiveness and the us. before god and his people i express my sorrow if it seems in

a grave crimes of clerical sexual abuse committed against you and i have asked for forgiveness. the vatican says the pope's new letter is another wake up call and a plea for catholics to help through prayer and penitence in what it calls an attempt to fight evil this is about ireland this is about the united states and this is about chile but not only pope francis has written to the people of god and that means everyone. and as the pennsylvania grand jury concluded the real number of victimized sholden and abusive priests might be higher around the world since some secret church records have been lost and some victims have never come forward paul chowder john al jazeera the united nations is blaming the saudi and roddy coalition for most of the child casualties from yemen's war this year it's calling for an investigation into an ass trying to killed forty children earlier this month most aboard a school bus many children have also been recruited by soldiers by who the rebels

geneva base human rights group says the number of child soldiers fighting in the conflict is much higher. the who these are taking advantage of the severe poverty families are living in children are being brainwashed to fight and some forcefully sent to training camps who for years are going to schools an orphanage just to recruit children we know of one thousand eight hundred cases but i think the figure is much higher. the u.n. report also found that nearly two thirds of child soldiers in yemen are fighting for the healthy in june human rights watch called on all parties in the conflict to ensure that no children were taking part in the fighting in her data and to investigate and punish officers who allowed children in their units. and i will never forget one of the young children. we describe a young writer. in the area yet that

yet despite the testimonies and witness accounts for the rebels have denied the accusations against from them. we completely deny reports that were used child soldiers and those on frontlines are men of age the law prevents children from being recruited to fight they are still unable to hold a gun. under international law it's considered a war crime to recruit those under the age of eighteen for conflict even yemeni law sets eighteen as the minimum age for military service. as yemen suffers from the world's worst humanitarian crisis with unimaginable poverty and famine thousands of children are bearing the brunt of the conflicts so i don't al-jazeera police in the russian republic of chechnya have shot and killed five men who targeted them the attackers tried to run over two police officers attempted to stab another and failed to set off a suicide bomb eisel says it was behind the assaults but chechen investigators say

a rocket two years ago while driving his motorbike. he lost a leg and an hour he hasn't felt like celebrating heat for the last seven years. he thinks there is no joy for peace but only death pain and war which makes it impossible to be happy. about others they are of the same opinion fabric that at night it doesn't feel like a feast we are away from home and family we hope it is over soon there are thousands of people here but loneliness is the one thing they share more roughage a camp resembles a giant city just meters from the turkish border or crowding is a major problem and there's a distinct lack cost basic facilities and services most of the people here do not have an a jobs but despite all the disincentives they try to maintain as normal a life as possible mainly for the sake of their children and i bought new clothes i will play with my friends this feast requires muslims to share the meat of us
