10:06 pm
children have been sleeping on the street they're tired hungry and some of them. as she has been told there is no space inside and. they say there is no space. for rinks under there. which is the pressure jeff wilkinson of the u.n. refugee program says the situation is challenging with a priority shifting to help the new arrivals to quickly move on to other brazilian cities and that they are now looking at how to. make the process. more agile to identify and new locations and to negotiate. to push this because at the end of the day i think everyone realizes that. i mean that really is the priority and that takes the pressure off. in spite of the difficulties they face in brazil

hundreds of venezuelans continue to cross the border every day escaping an economic crisis and willing to risk it all in search of a better life. well let's get more on this now we're joined by phil gunson he's senior analyst covering the andes region at the international crisis group and he's joining us live from very good to have you with us on al-jazeera mr gunson so an absolutely terrible situation that we've been covering for venice my venezuelan migrant some who are you know living on the streets of brazil waiting for a place in shelters when what needs to happen to remedy this now. really. a limit change of government but the government is like you know with. the billions of venezuelans facing that and the latest package of economic measures and then we're going to make things worse now right or serious measures but economists
10:08 pm
say will make the hyperinflation that we're already very very. good at giving it. a bit of a spiral. maybe be able to survive. so while there was no hope for the situation improving in venezuela what about the reaction from neighboring countries you know ecuador is no longer aps accepting national ideas from venezuelans trying to enter asking them for passports instead when many don't have them through this planning to do the same what is this going to mean you know for venezuelans for colombia which these migrants are trying to cross from and that already has a million venezuelan my friends. yeah the situation regionally is becoming manageable and the only way to deal with it really is by some kind of multilateral agreement involving all the countries that are affected and also u.n. agencies u.n. agencies are already on the ground in border. helping to sort out the situation
10:09 pm
much much more meat the result is. that the structure structure the put in place to do you. need to be the strength of this is a crisis which is running to be a really big and seven. how far away i mean you know from having that sort of a multilateral agreement and strategy for how to deal with what is the biggest humanitarian crisis that south america has seen in a very long time. well things are starting to move countries are getting together they're discussing them in ecuador for example by nationalists talking to colombia about what to do with that problem go to ecuador hosted or if i was doing i think a beating of a number. i think everybody would realize.
10:10 pm
that it's actually a very. good solution here in minnesota right now not to be speculated on my wife with a gun from me thank you very much for your time on the set of the international crisis group so gunson joining us live from caucus thank you. now to south africa where the president says he totally rejects donald trump's claims on plant land reform and an allegation of the large scale killing of white farmers the us president has announced that he'll get his secretary of state to investigate reforms in south africa he tweeted that mike pompei would closely study the south african land and farm seizures and expropriations and the large scale killing of farmers tribes twitted followed a segment on fox news that said south african government is nasties in land from white farmers. well the south african government is insisting that land reform will go ahead after gaining consensus from all major parties the ruling african national
10:11 pm
congress wants to change the constitution to allow the expropriation of land without compensation seventy two percent of the land is in the hands of white farmers while the white south africans form just eight percent of the population the killing of farmers is at a twenty year low forty seven were killed last year compared to one hundred fifty three in one nine hundred ninety eight well let's get more on this now we're joined by correspondent farmer the village she's live for us and bella bella and south africa's poor poor province a very strong reaction in south africa. from not just the government but you know online turn. in opposition parties like the if not welcome the state was asking who she is in terms of his position and wanting to intervene in what's happening in south africa the government there were also saying that it strongly rejects these statements it's also called food. but they have said they will pursue diplomatic channels to
10:12 pm
deal with the u.s. president this point. at the land summit as you mentioned genuine vocal with this issue of language creation without payment is being discussed of course a very emotive and since it of one in south africa but to give us an idea of the sentiment you are speaking to under these cries from say enemies the issue of land expropriation is a debate that's continuing in south africa. some we've spoken to have said that they don't think it is the ideal scenario do you think it's a workable solution in terms of land redistribution a lot of this because you do have the. land question much much broader than just the express reaction without compensation one of the present is that we have a review committee. actually i was going the wrong question to the wrong people so yes language land divided trees gritty core we must have that to buy in some
10:13 pm
everywhere we must find solutions for every missed find growing quickly but we don't think that the solution lies in expression of it of compensation relations a lot of violent things that there's a lot of really beautiful examples listed at the summit of models that will not and never actually going to me that will not damage the production of food security and that's the. war of rather than. action without government action at least it's a pretty president of south africa's president reassuring farmers that they wouldn't be like crabs and that they would want to deal with this in the best way possible do you see government doing that in a balanced way that does a piece on this look i think this is a very difficult to buy also with the government within government but we welcome the reassurances that were given by the deputy president this morning you also might it's very clear that the government recognizes the importance of the
10:14 pm
agricultural sacred and its contribution to the economy but to the economy and to food security. you know we would like to think from what what he said that productive agricultural land is not primarily for expropriation of the speculation without compensation anneliese be they from agra say thank you for your time or another slant summit will go on for another day and farmers here say they has to be away for government to look at their needs and as the government is also say that it wouldn't affect to production and the other cultural sector as a whole but of course these tweets coming of from the us president donald trump as of course further ignited this debate and some would argue possibly aggravated a very difficult situation in south africa elizabeth father thank you very much for that fanaticism of the. live from better. piper thank you. but it's time for the weather now here's kevin that's right we're going to talk about hurricane lane a very rare occurrence as close as the storm is getting to hawaii i want to show
10:15 pm
you what we're expecting to see it was a category four or five storm at one time right now it's dropped down to a category four storm but take a look at how people are reacting to the storm on the island we are either enjoying the waves right here as you can see this one surfer is doing or we are preparing for the storm as many people are because this storm is going to be getting very very close to the hawaiian islands now only two hurricanes in recorded history have ever made landfall in hawaii this storm a category four right now with winds of two hundred fifty miles per hour does not look it is like it is going to be making landfall but it is going to get in close enough proximity to the hawaiian islands that right now we do have hurricane warnings and watches in effect for all of the hawaiian islands as well as flash flood warnings that flash flood watches as well in this area now the track of the storm is going to keep the hawaiian islands on the right hand side of the storm that is always the worst part of the storm with a lot of rain some locations are expecting well over five hundred millimeters of
10:16 pm
rain some local areas could even see over seven hundred millimeters of rain so that is why the flash flooding is going to be a definite factor we are going to be watching over the next few days so more on this as we go through the weekend but very strong winds and surf with this storm. thank you very much kevin still ahead all the news out disillusionment and many who took part in the literacy campaign in the nineteen eighties so this sacrifices were in vain the un warns of a third wave of the cholera epidemic and war ravaged yemen and the sport spain's top footballers threaten strike action and a sponsor their league's deal for the us. desperate for a better life millions of people have sought refuge in europe sometimes their dreams of sanctuary are realized but sometimes disenchantment and hostility drives

10:20 pm
much their efforts are being hampered by the wall. exactly and certainly we know that the united nations immediately says have been warning since the start of august that there is the danger of a tipping point where yemen goes into its third caller epidemic we've already had two to this point as you see one point one million cases reported two thousand three hundred people killed there certainly has been a vaccination program underway we've certainly seen that just in the last month three hundred eighty five thousand people have been vaccinated that to the more than a quarter of a million people in the southern port city of aden who received vaccinations earlier this year the idiot in seas are doing what they can but cholera is caused by people drinking infected water and also eating infected food and the reality is that the infrastructure in yemen has been severely damaged by the more than three year war of the and despite the efforts of the agencies to try and get
10:21 pm
infrastructure up and running to try and bring clean water to many people they simply can't manage to deal with the extent of the damage that is there the number of people that are impacted by this and therefore cholera added to the conflict is causing real problems for the united nations and also for the aid agencies and that is why they're putting this stark warning saying look you really have to do something about this because it's simply not getting any better and doing nothing is no longer an option alan thank you very much for that for now that is alan session live in djibouti thank you saudi arabia has denied a report that it's calling us plans to sell shares in a state or a company iran cause this news agency any quoted saying it's also saying the flight had been canceled these energy minister insisted it would happen when the time is right the plan to sell five percent of the company could bring in billions of dollars. israel has approved plans to build more than a thousand new illegal settlement homes in the occupied west bank that the latest
