fight to survive comes in many ways all military conflict to stone and 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 finds 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 of course 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 sanaa to it it was a step many experts predicted could bring the country to the verge of economic collapse around this lemon went bankrupt after moving the central bank to the city of atlanta the legitimate government spent a long time recovering some of the central bank's functions and activate in an ad in the legitimate government has not been able to restore the state institutions

especially the revenues institutions and therefore could not maintain the 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 eight point four million are on the verge of famine they simply don't know where the next meal is coming from. abdul karim ali and his family today tomorrow. that's another battle. alan fischer al jazeera. this week muslims around the world are celebrating. the festival of sacrifice but an indian administers kashmir the holidays been marred by violence and i am has more on that. the sounds of pellet gun shots yelling and smoke from tear gas

also the indian government is turning down offers of foreign aid saying it can cope with the disaster itself and to thomas with more now from caroline. and team has moved away from where the worst of the flooding is in kerala so i'm not suggesting by any stretch that all the water level has dropped to this sort of level nevertheless it has been sunny across the state on wednesday and that means that we will see levels are dropping that's good news of course but it does mean that pools of water like this are being left behind this is getting pretty stagnant smelly it's the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes and that's a big concern because mosquitoes of course carry diseases now the relief efforts continue they're not yet into a reconstruction phase they're all about getting food and water and other things like that is essential to people the reconstruction efforts will take months if not years in the u.s. government has told the times of india informally that they are going to turn down more than one hundred million u.s.

the moment he is of course talking first of all to the man who sitting in the white house donald trump who he is trying to tell the door is still open. to me putin does not hold donald trump personally responsible for the sanctions against russia he says that the meeting that they had in helsinki recently he views positively and it was useful and that nobody could expect so many years of bad blood to be corrected within a couple of hours of meeting but they made a good start then of course there's another audience in d.c. and that is the wider political establishment. believed to be deeply russophobia in. a lot of the police and police where these sanctions are originating and he wants to tell them that it's not going to work that russia will weather this storm and that when. d.c. realizes this they'll have to come back and russia for better relations essentially

there are more sanctions that are likely to be coming down the line as well we've got this first round that's being unveiled today then there are going to be more likely in ninety days time and we of course got the senate bill is being discussed at the moment that could be even more punitive so none of this is likely to be good for the russian economy. still ahead for you this news on new challenges for some of the fountains of asylum seekers living in greece. we head to the place that's a video game a haven for enthusiasts. and football is in spain not happy with plans to play games united states will tell you what to do about it a little later. from the waves in the south. to the contours of the east.

running to be america's first black female governor we've got john powers with us now an attorney with the lawyers committee for civil rights under law he's joining us from washington d.c. spoke to against a little bit earlier we were discussing the fact that it was apparently the american disabilities act which was being used as an excuse affectively here was saying they were the appropriate ramps or wide enough doorways for people i mean it's all just looks so incredibly transparent certainly from our perspective as to why they're doing this yeah that's absolutely right. we've sent an open records request to the county and the county has responded in response to requests that they haven't actually conducted any. compliance analysis of the existing sites so for them to say that.

is the basis for closing these polling places is a total sham. the obvious thing to do would be to find some other polling places wouldn't it i mean it it seems like this could be easily solved if this was the real reason behind this. is that something being explored or being pushed by by by groups that that's absolutely right the board of elections if it was truly interested in complying with the a.p.a. could have taken simple steps such as identifying potential shortcomings and for example if a bathroom wasn't up to code and. putting in a porta potty or of wheelchair accessability it was a problem adding in a rant. alternatively if a site couldn't have been fixed in time for the election the board could've considered whether there might be alternative locations within the existing voting

precincts they could be used instead of shutting them down entirely and forcing folks to travel long distances for the election and risking being doesn't franchise so let's get to the real issue they know one of the real issues and that would appear to be the the popularity of stacy abrams if she did such a political threat. that groups are feeling they need to they will they want to take such sort of actions. there is no doubt that the upcoming. general election in november is truly historic. if gov abrams were. mr evans were to be elected governor she would be the first african-american female governor in the state's history and there's no doubt that there's a lot of enthusiasm behind her campaign in the area where randolph county is located there is also a hotly contested interracial election for state house representative so there's no

doubt that there's a lot of eyes on this upcoming election and it raises suspicions as to why. polling places would be closed at this time when the county used the same polling places without any problems and may primary in july runoff elections and to keep an eye on this wondering john powers joining us from washington d.c. thank you for your time. some bubblies top court will decide on friday whether to overturn or hold president was narrow election win from july the opposition leader nelson chamisa says the vote was rigged in favor of the president who won with just over fifty percent how to toss has that story from her daughter. so some political analysts are calling it the most important court battle in zimbabwe. cheese and child more than ten years ago the main opposition leader nelson chamisa

we are just expecting everything to be free and the opposition says there was a massive doctrine of results it was a court order a fresh election or declared the main opposition leader nelson chamisa the winner. in this will go to give the best. lawyers representing the rulings on the party say the opposition's case is weak we believe that the results were not fake at all and it's not over the court to decide which version of the two versions is acceptable best on the evidence that the court has before it in its ruling the constitutional court could now throw the case out declare a new winner order a fresh election within sixty days the main opposition leader nelson chamisa says if you lose us as case he lost a regional body side of the african union and the united nations to intervene analysts say you could try and push for a power sharing deal with zanu p.f. but officials in the ruling party say that's not going to happen. judgement has
