looking wet again as we head through thursday and friday so for the south coast of china and for many of us in luzon in the philippines expect things to be very very wet and they could well be reports of flooding as we head through the next few days meanwhile out towards the west of course we've had devastating flooding in parts of india carol of areas where we've seen the worst of it and fortunately now the skies are now more or less clear instead this more cloud up towards the north and that's where we've seen the worst of the way the recently plenty more showers here as we had three thursday and friday on friday we'll just see the showers push a little bit further northwards new delhi that certainly isn't looking for all the way out towards the west and here in doha the winds are changing a little bit now so over the next few days they'll begin to come in more from an easterly direction that means here in doha it will be a little bit more humid the air feeling more sticky for the south more cloud to around moscow.

capturing a moment in time snapshots of how the lives of the stories. provide an eclipse into someone else's work. inspiring documentaries from impassioned filmmakers everybody's going to know what we did. may. be so let's remember it. and go. on al-jazeera. well i got a reminder the top stories here on out there are u.s.

president donald trump is going on the defensive this cases against two of his former top aides of a speed he's accused of making up stories to secure a plea deal with a friend of his former campaign chairman who's been found guilty of fraud. trumps national security adviser says the united states is ready to ramp up pressure on iran john bolton said regime change was not washington's goal but the u.s. does want quote a massive change in the regime's behavior. zimbabwe's court has started hearing the opposition party's challenge to last month's presidential election result the opposition says the vote was rigged in favor of president amisom gaekwar. now russian president vladimir putin is called a new set of u.s. sanctions against moscow counterproductive and senseless the sanctions which ban certain exports to russia including electronic devices are in response to the poisoning of a former spy in the u.k. which has been widely blamed on moscow here now for joins us from moscow and rory

how is president putin constructing his message what is he what does he want washington to hear. well he's got two different audiences in washington d.c. there is of course the man who sitting in the white house donald trump and him write him a person wants to convey the message that essentially the door is still open i mean putin is not blaming personally donald trump for the souring of relations between russia and the united states and essentially he wants to keep the relationship with trump pretty good so he says that the meeting that they had in helsinki recently was a positive one it was useful nobody was hoping to remove all the problems between russia and the united states in one meeting but he thought it was getting things back on the right track then of course there's another audience that it is talking to and that's the kind of d.c. establishment who he believes is firmly anti russian and putin thinks that it's

from this quarter the all the sanctions are originates in and so the message for them is they're not going to work the senseless the counterproductive adventure the when he hopes the d.c. establishment realizes this then they can get back to making relations better again he also says the sanctions are essentially a kind of unfair trade war essentially designs to shoulder rusher out of the european gas market leaving space for america to get in. russia of course has weathered several rounds of sanctions over the last four years how much difference will anymore make how much pain will it inflict on the russian economy. well the economy minister is saying things like well we're going to revise our economic forecasts so that you know the the g.d.p. is going to be growing point one of

a percent less in two thousand and eighteen that we thought it would so revising it from one point now is nine percent growth down to one point eight they also see the ruble as being slightly weaker capital outflow picking up inflation picking up as well because of the weakening ruble that basically anticipating that this is going to hit the economy with the economy essentially will withstand it i mean certainly the markets are not liking what they're seeing at the moment when it's when it comes to investing in russia it's not just about sanctions though it's also about there's other news that swirling around in america with the mayor the man of force and current case is basically cornering donald trump making his room for maneuver smaller making the cause for a tougher stance on against russia louder in america even making donald trump perhaps take a tougher stance against russia himself to prove his you know his his credentials

on that regard and none of this really is good news for the russian economy or iraq really would have been that's bitchy for muscular or a challenge. the deputy speaker of you gun his parliament has met popstar opposition leader bobby wine in prison and says he's been severely beat why and was arrested nine days ago these detentions for violent clashes between his supporters and police on the streets of the conflict kampala where you whine is a face opponents of uganda's president yoweri museveni the government denies allegations of assault catherine so has been that an opposition demonstration in kampala. was on the. city and that struggled to get the right. feeling like you know do you think that if. you come to the brink make the struggle to. get out of the make nothing that can be wrapped

i mean anything that. that would. be. military force that was happening is because of the nature of the title against him he has been charged with possession of firearms and i mean the sun which are the military p.d.f. and that's why you think i'd buy the middle of a lot of people are saying that these are just i trying top them fabricated they want to release it even deeds they have a case to understand that he has to be tried in the civilian courts around one hundred migrants from sub-saharan africa have jumped overboard a fence in america and entered the spanish city of ceuta the migrants is said to have attacked spanish police with acid injuring seven of them and unknown number of migrants were also injured last month more than six hundred migrants jumped over the same border fence trying to get to spades. the conflict in yemen has been

described by the united nations as one of the worst humanitarian disasters in modern times the civil war has left millions struggling to afford basic goods it's estimated three point four million yemenis are on the verge of starvation with many more eating just one small meal a day alan fischer reports from neighboring djibouti. the fight to survive comes in many ways for military conflict to stoneage his country for almost four years abdul karim ali faces a daily battle just to feed his family he goes to the market in the city of aden when he can but find every day that the little money has buys less and less today it's bread and milk for abdul karim and his four children it makes life harder harder to support growing children harder to keep that knowing hunger away harder to believe tomorrow will be better. as. i choose moken bread

according to my potential to eat because as i consider this is a main meal for me and my family and today we cannot see meat and it was usual to eat meat and fish on fridays but unfortunately we are now eating only one meal a day because it is all we can afford. all the stores in the southern port city of aden receive full fewer people can afford what's on display the value of the yemeni reale continues to drop against me to foreign currencies that mixed importing everything the country needs much more expensive prices have gone up across the board for us they doubled then tripled its no estimated food and medicine is five hundred percent more expensive. shuttle most of the low dollar our local currency is now in constant decline and the central bank has not done what it should do which is to inject foreign currency into the market and consolidate the exchange rate but the different prices and the big rise in the price of the dollar is very difficult as the more the currency loses the more we and our country.

last year the yemeni government moved the central bank from who controlled capital center to it it was a step many experts predicted could bring the country to the verge of economic collapse around yemen went bankrupt after moving the central bank to the city of aden a legitimate government spends a long time recovering some of the central banks functions and activation them in aid an illegitimate government has not been able to restore the state institutions especially the revenues institutions and therefore could not maintain revenues in the liberated areas the internationally recognized government relies on saudi arabia for cash injections which helps pay some public sector wages which goes some way to halting a complete economic collapse and stop the country running out of food it's estimated almost eighteen million people in yemen like access to good regular nutritious meals but it point four million are on the verge of famine they simply don't know where their next meal is coming from. abdul karim ali in this family eat
