a saudi panel investigating these alleged war crimes in yemen saying it's. transparent nor independent monitoring developments from neighboring. civilians again the victims after saudi led coalition air strike in yemen. iranian backed the fighters say at least thirty one people including women and children have died in an attack on their vehicles in the western province of although some sources say the number of dead is. dead children and women discussed in crime. the victims were trying to escape a camp in which the coalition says was being used to launch missiles. hit us while we were on the road. this little boy survived but it's just two weeks since another thirty coalition air strike hit a school bus that killed forty children and eleven adults in what saudi arabia declared to be an appropriate military action it was promised to investigate. as

morphemes prepare to weep over their children's graves the charity save the children estimates an average of one hundred forty children have been killed every day since the beginning of the circulate coalition strikes against the united nations will not conduct their own investigation will not send a team d.m. and to investigate those type of crimes i believe that the saudi led coalition will continue to do so meanwhile human rights watch has criticized the panel investigating alleged work crimes in yemen the really what we're seeing is you had this investigative body that says it's credibly investigating but is in fact not at all an accepted and acceptable sort of substitute for the states themselves actually carrying out credible investigations the charity save the children says that yemen is the most dangerous place in the world to be a child right now the leaders have in the last few hours called an international bodies to do more to stop the fighting in yemen and they say the international

community silence on the attack two weeks ago and this most recent attack is nothing short of shameful alan fischer al jazeera djibouti the united states is causing more than two hundred million dollars in aid from its programs in gaza and the west bank has already withheld sixty five million dollars from the u.n. relief agency for the palestinians state department official now says the money will be used for issues that align with u.s. national interests and that provide value to american taxpayers. released one hundred eighty nine people have been injured on gaza's border with israel on friday these protests been going on for months dubbed the great amount of return israeli government says some of the demonstrators the terrorists wanting to cross into its territory to carry out attacks more from child stratford who's on that council israel border this is the twenty second week in a row that we've seen these protests on friday along the gaza israel we've seen a lot of gas fired in the last couple of hours what sounds like live ammunition as

well i think it's fair to say though that there are less people here this week than we have seen in recent weeks how massa says that the protesters have every right to continue these demonstrations and will continue them i must say until israel's near twelve year land air and sea blockade is lifted now so many people here we've been speaking to this speculation that one of the reasons why the protests the protests have been less this week is because we are expecting a resumption of these talks being mediated by the egyptians in cairo between hamas the armed factions and israel israel denies that there is any direct conversation going on between them and how mass but we do know that the egyptians have been very keen i've been working very hard to get both parties to. agree to some sort of lasting cease fire here we also understand that fatah will be sending a delegation from ramallah to participate in those talks as well there are concerns

that anything that is seen by either side as being a provocation could initiate another escalation in violence between hamas and israel and of course that would seriously jeopardize those talks in carro. turkey's foreign minister is warning a military solution in the syrian province of idlib would be a disaster he made the comment after meeting the russian foreign minister in moscow the assad regime is sending soldiers to surround the last remaining rebel held region government forces have been on the move in neighboring hama and aleppo and the government dropping leaflets urging people not to resist negotiations with rebel groups are said to be ongoing now it's a rory chalons with more from moscow now. turkey's foreign minister came to moscow with a message that ankara does not want russia and damascus to hand out the same kind of treatment as they handed out to the other deescalation. full on bombardments

leading to rebel surrender they say that such an approach would be a catastrophe and disaster turkey points out that it already has three million refugees the implication being that it doesn't want any more flowing across borders yes turkey says as they put it terrorists have to be separated from the civilian population but that this needs to be done carefully and there shouldn't be a full scale military assault is russia listening to that well it's difficult to tell was a bit circumspect when asked whether there would be a military assault saying that the situation was complicated obviously trying to balance the demands of its partners here trying to balance the demands of damascus with the hands of ankara and the impression i have is that it hasn't quite yet made up its mind which way it's going to turn there was also talk about an upcoming

meeting between. rouhani of iran and. turkey we are told that this meeting the date has been agreed on but we don't yet know when it's going to be the announcement has been made so we're going to have to wait a little bit further to find that out. the been protest in the iraqi city of basra demonstrators are calling on local authorities to provide access to clean drinking water the city seen weeks of protests over poor public services health officials warn thousands of hospital patients having to drink contaminated just. ahead for you on this news i will find out how activists are helping to mark the un reported deaths of those who tried to make it into the united states nigeria's busiest bridge is shut down for repairs and look at the impact of that. sport for me one is back from the summer break and looking good ahead of the belgian grand prix find out a little easier. hello

thousand people have died in the last fifteen years this does it covers an area of more than a quarter of a million square kilometers in the summertime temperatures exceed one hundred degrees at night it gets very cold and yet those seeking a better life continue to try and cross and they continue to lose their lives what's happening here in the borderlands of arizona is nothing short of a humanitarian crisis you can see we have some of them along bones from the lower extremities and we have portions of the power of us around one in three of those found to go unidentified at corner gregory heads who helped develop the map wants to change that if somebody is missing and people are looking for them clearly that provide can provide a sense of closure if they are found even if it is kind of tragic but it also provides us a sense of satisfaction to try to answer those questions for families activists say was the number of illegal crossings has fallen migrants are being forced to take

bigger risks this is the consequence of paramilitary techniques being used over fifteen years of death mapping what we see people are dying closer to the international line and farther from towns in roads we're literally pushing people to their death there's so nor and that's what has a secret three thousand people have died here two thousand missing over a will continue to plant crosses in the desert but says he doesn't have enough to pay tribute to those who lost their lives and a guy like rogers era tucson arizona. the world health organization says the ebola outbreak in the democratic republic of congo has reached a point it had been dreading a doctor in the east has become the first likely case in one of the country's most violent and inaccessible zones as light as our probe declared in the town outbreak declared in a town in north kivu where aid workers and government officials are being held hostage the full story now the charlotte bellus this is a united nations video of a thirteen year old boy in manga the a.p.
