a man made botanical garden in africa draws crowds as the continent's rain forest face the threat of extinction. i'm joining us go with the sports manchester united say they'll stand by their under pressure manage chose a marine gary has demanded respect i one more premierships alone then the other ninety minutes of. for me for them to receive research. has been described as the world's forgotten war where all sides in yemen a responsible for blatant human rights violations un experts accuse the yemeni government and its supporters saudi arabia and the u.a.e. of possible war crimes including torture rape and illegal detention the fighters and other rebel groups are also blamed for similar crimes the u.n.

says all sides have been recruiting children to fight on the front lines of the war which has killed at least ten thousand civilians. now the un is calling for an immediate end to fighting and for countries to stop selling weapons but millions of yemen is losing their homes and facing famine the u.n. says they have suffered enough both saudi arabia and the u.a.e. say they will review the report and respond accordingly alan fischer reports from neighboring djibouti. non have clean hands a u.n. panel three experts investigating and a damning conclusion individuals in the government of yemen and the coalition including saudi arabia and the united arab emirates may have conducted attacks in violation of the principles of distinction proportionality and all precautions which may amount to walk crimes. the u.n.

top human rights body commission the investigation into the ongoing fighting in yemen of war that has lasted almost four years the panel of experts meet fourteen fact finding missions spoke to victims and eyewitnesses and express concern about the targeting of civilians the use of child soldiers and the use of sexual abuse as a weapon which was described as horrendous. conscripting or enlisting children under the age of fifteen or using them to participate actively in the still it is is a war crime. the panel called for an end to the fighting and without naming names or just the international community to stop providing weapons for the conflict iran has been supplying hooty fighters or the u.s. in the uki has been backing the saudi led coalition the panel also criticized the who the site in what was a strongly worded report they need to send investigators into yemen and which have

been welcomed by the whole of the many many time so when they have a good evidence then they can bring anyone to justice either for all and solidarity movement or from the saudi led coalition oh lord in yemen erupted in march twenty fifteen saudi arabia and the united arab emirates and leading a western backed coalition trying to restore the internationally recognized government of exiled game any president. who was forced out of the capital sanaa by really impact the fighters it's the second report in twenty four hours criticizing the saudi led coalition on monday human rights watch cleaned it it field to adequately investigate reports of human rights abuses and too often whitewash the results all the governments named in the forty one page report received an advance copy the panel says it has compiled a list of the names of people it believes may be responsible for war crimes and

passed it on to the appropriate authorities and there are those who hope that this report will put pressure on both sides as we approach un sponsored peace talks starting on september the sixth alan fischer al-jazeera djibouti. well bar chevron is a middle east and north africa researcher with the engine reprieve and he agrees with alan says the timing of this report is important because it's just before these u.n. political tools to take place in geneva and it's none i think the publishing of this report at this time is basically before the u.n. human rights council are meeting in geneva next month so i think it is if you would like to say basically trying to prepare the ground coming for a possible coming u.n. resolution coming coming in next month so i think we'll see next month again another round of a struggle happening between. mainly saudi arabia and of course the yemeni

government which saudi arabia is backing it and the u.n. and the u.n. agencies and then we'll see another round of course of conflict happening at the u.n. human rights council saudi arabia will try to convince member states to. vote . on a compromised resolution while i think the u.n. and the u.n. agencies will try to push for international mccann ism so i and this has been going by the way for the last for the last for the last three years usually member straight member states tried to resist the attempts of u.n. to form such macan isms and at the end of the day we need to remember that all of this at the cost of the yemeni people who continue to suffer and i think will enter now the is entering another the fifth year of the fifth year of conflict with no end in sight. the u.s. has told the un's top court that it has no jurisdiction to rule on terror on's

legal challenge against its renewed sanctions iran wants the international court of justice the i.c.j. to suspend the sanctions after washington pulled out of the twenty fifteen iran nuclear deal terror on has accused the u.s. of plotting what it calls economic strangulation morrissey has this from the hague well they serve this hearing it's been the united states states to iran's core allegation that the u.s. has been in breach of this obscure nine hundred fifty five agreements of friendship between the two countries by the reimposition the sanctions and the overwhelming overarching all came from the u.s. side is that iran's argument is entirely deceitful because it's effectively confusing legal and political arguments the u.s. is argument is that iran's complaints isn't really about the nine hundred fifty five agreements it's all about the united states pulling out of the nuclear deal and re imposing sanctions and based on that it says the call doesn't actually have

the power the jurisdiction to rule on this it's also effectively trying to get the case thrown out before it gets any further but they have at the same time addressed iran's complaint that the u.s. has been guilty of unfriendly actions by re imposing sanctions bargain that in one thousand nine hundred ninety and on goods from the islamic revolution that's exactly what iran has been doing to the united states mr president iran's request warrants another observation before i proceed it rests on the basis of a treaty who central purpose friendship with the united states iran has expressly and repeatedly disavowed since nine hundred seventy nine in its words and actions by sponsoring terrorism and other malign activity against united states citizens and interests. in other words the situation that the parties find themselves in today is nowhere near what was contemplated when the treaty was concluded in one nine hundred fifty five the us side then went on to list all their complaints about iran's behavior towards the us over the decades unfriendly actions it would say in

breach of the nine hundred fifty five agreements the islamic revolution itself taking of american hostages support his ball and therefore attacks on israel using funding when the sanctions have been lifted to pay for proxy wars in the middle east and support the assad government in syria as well all of these things the u.s. says would be iran behaving in exactly the same whether they're accusing the united states or they also say that nine hundred fifty five agreements actually specifically excludes issues to do with national security and nuclear materials as well but in terms of saying the case has absolutely no merits. and iran's president has time rouhani blamed those sanctions as he defended his economic record in front of parliament and the nation on live television but parliament rejected his explanation that this is the first the first time president rouhani has been summoned to explain iran's economic turmoil which he blamed on u.s.

sanctions on employment rate is high on the iranian currency has taken a nosedive parliament's already voted to sack his labor and finance when this is this month cero you have the entire year care of there why have the people's hopes changed why in regard to ron's future they are in doubt and beyond that even in regard to the glory of the system the strength of the system growth for the future they have doubts this is dealt we must get rid of we will not allow a bunch of anti iranians that today had gathered in the white house to plot against us the white house will not be happy with the end of today's session. ok with me to joel rubin who joins us live from washington he was a deputy assistant secretary of state thank you very much indeed for talking to us is quite a big deal then isn't it to summon the president and then to cross-examine him impala meant on live television it certainly is marty and it's first time that

rouhani has had president rouhani has had to meet with parliament in a public session in his five years in office and he was criticized for is reform and so he's under pressure and the competition between moderates and hardliners in iran continues the external pressures that the united states is pushing for and there are solutions as well as internal mismanagement of the economy are taking a toll on his administration and that's really i mean his his defense seems to be resting upon the reimposition position of u.s. sanctions and yet that is quite a recent occurrence is that what condition was that he was the iranian economy in before donald trump decided to pull the u.s. out of the iran nuclear deal well iran's economy has been mismanaged for a number of years and the iranian people you recall back in january in fact were protesting in the streets about their economic conditions so this is not

a new situation for the iranian people but the sanctions that the trump administration is trying to utilize this window and put pressure on with the sanctions to accelerate the pressure in iran but certainly it's runs management of its own economies a quarter of the challenges the iranian economy faces at this particular point how would you assess how much trouble president rouhani is in along with his reformist supporters. well you know rests in the hamptons of the supreme leader alternately and the supreme leader as long as he is confidence in ronnie daniels but as the political tensions rise in geopolitical tensions that with united states the question then of the nuclear deal and whether or not closer by with european support with the americans were is going to be the key decision point for the supreme leader about how long it will stick with really or really go into more

hardline government which would need replacing rouhani it's actually right now we're on the it's strong but it's a green leader all sides joe rubin thank you very much indeed thank you we've got a lot more to come on this out as our news hour including looking for a business british prime minister to resign may makes a fast trip to africa in order to boost trade his prexy. putting pressure on me i'm always so over thing china weighs in on the ranger refugee crisis. and in sports the same boat reveals what his struggling with most as he makes a transition from athletics to football. that kind of foreign affairs minister is on her way to the u.s. the trade talks the united states a mess mexico they've already reached a new agreement on trade and that was on monday it will replace

a version of contracts which are set out in the north american free trade agreement on nafta and donald trump says he hopes canada will be part of it is our white house correspondent kimberly how it. frequently accusing the news media of not reporting on his accomplishments u.s. president donald trump brought reporters into the oval office. well to listen in real time to a phone call with mexico's president. where you good morning thank you and congratulations together the two leaders jointly announced their breakthrough bilateral deal changing parts of the north american free trade agreement that trump says hurts us workers i like to call this deal the united states mexico trade agreement i think it's an elegant name i think nafta has a lot of bad connotations for the united states because it was a rip off. the now after agreement was signed twenty four years ago between the

united states mexico and canada it saw many manufacturing jobs move south to mexico as a result where labor was cheaper one of the worst trade deals ever on the campaign trail trump promised to renegotiate nafta and bring back jobs particularly in the auto sector the new deal will require seventy five percent of an american car to be made in mexico or the united states up from sixty two percent workers making those vehicles must also be paid a minimum sixteen dollars an hour but missing from this latest agreement is canada will start negotiating with canada relatively soon they want to start they want to negotiate very badly. relations between the two countries have been frosty since trump slapped tariffs on canadian steel and aluminum canada's foreign minister will travel to the u.s. this week to restart negotiations but it's not clear canada will agree to the

changes the nafta changes still need to be approved by the u.s. congress follows weeks of negotiations between the united states and mexico their agreement now puts pressure on canada to remain a part of the pact all right well we can go live now to kimberly house that was a report that she filed earlier in kimberly so we now know that chrystia freeland is on her way the canadian foreign minister that is on her way to washington d.c. what kind of reception do you think she might get i think it still get a warm reception but once those doors close in the begin to negotiating begins both sides have been pretty firm in their position on the part of the u.s. the treasury secretary steve has been making the rounds on the television chat shows in washington this morning saying that in fact that they are very eager to get canada bored quickly they have this lofty goal of trying to get candidates to

make an agreement within the nafta agreement that bilateral now rather trilateral agreement that right now only temodar. a trilateral agree with the right now only the united states and mexico have signed on to and we should point out in order to make a trilateral canada house just sign and so that is where canada really holds the cards in many respects knowing that in order for this nafta agreement to be changed it must have its signature and we know that right now according to christopher lynn's spokesperson they will canada will only sign an agreement that in the words of canada is good for the middle class and good for canada now the sticking point in all of this is that donald trump has long said the nafta agreement is not a good agreement because it hurts american workers he feels there's a trade imbalance and something you hear when he talks about china something that you hear when he talks about the european union in the case of canada when he was making that announcement in the oval office he said look at canada's is putting

terror of three hundred percent on american dairy farmers and then they're complaining about the tariffs that the united states has put on steel aluminum of relatively no low numbers in comparison of twenty five and ten percent respectively so this is something that donald trump is focused on so what happens behind those closed doors is going to be very difficult because both sides feel they have the high ground both at this point not really willing to budge and that's why canada kind of shut things down well the united states negotiated with mexico that took five weeks martine to get that agreement between mexico and the united states so the fact that is now that they're trying to get this agreement between canada and the other players in just a matter of days seems in many respects an almost insurmountable goal but that is the goal that they have set forward so far all right kimberly thanks for that can really how could i want house correspondent live in d.c. . well south sudan's rebel leader ria match on has refused to sign the final peace

deal with the government according to the foreign minister of sudan you'd been trying to mediate it was years of conflict would end after a breakthrough was reached with president salva care both sides had agreed to a power sharing deal and to end the fighting that agreement was made in the sudanese capital khartoum last month we can speak to him or morgan now our correspondent who's here with me in the studio but normally here of course you're based in juba what exactly is really objecting to this time or one of the main points of contention between the two sides is the number of states in south sudan three a good three years ago the number of states was ten and the president went on to change the number of states of thirty two the opposition and the wreck my chair and other opposition groups who have also objected to signing this draft of the peace deal think that this number of states a thirty two number of states give the president more power it gives his tribe more control over not just the landmass but the resources of south sudan so that's one thing that they are against they think that for them to be able to negotiate and

move forward the number of states in sudan should go back from thirty two to ten and then they'll be able to discuss further the fact that really hasn't signed this particular element of the deal doesn't necessarily mean that it's all over there is a window during which it is expected that all sides to this agreement will try to horse trade to get the best deal possible does that mean it's all over earlier this month they signed a power sharing agreement and agreed that the president will remain president and that there would be four different vice presidents they still have to discuss about this will have to talk about the power of the vice president what they should do who gets which ministry they have stuck about security arrangements they have talked about military forces and how to reintegrate them and they've got nearly seven months from from the agreement from today to to form a transitional government so they still have time to try to come together again and try to sign a deal to end the conflict and so we see this then as being part of the negotiation of the cut and thrust. of trying to get the perfect deal yes khartoum sudan and

other regional leaders are trying to do to force a breakthrough between not just the opposition and direct my char and the president but between various other sides and they will continue to bring all the sides together and negotiate hoping that they would sign a peace agreement even if it's one thing or close at a time thank you very much given morgan. britain's prime minister is in south africa looking for business after brics it to reason is in cape town before she goes on to nigeria in kenya britain will serve africa's six largest trading partner last year we have been working with with african nations with african governments in the past what i'm talking about today is a new partnership for the future recognizing the challenges that we both face we've already seen the benefits of the growth in the economy the stability here in south africa in the investment we've seen from the u.k. i think there are huge opportunities for us to work together both the u.k.

climate change are additional threats caretakers here are worried that they'll all be gone from africa in a few decades thirteen thousand square kilometers. that are being wiped out. that's a massive amount of rainforest disappearing we might even be wiping out species before we even know they exist thousands of students tourists and researchers who might not be able to go to the congo basin in central africa home to the world's second largest tropical rainforest or to the coastal rain forest in west africa that has almost all been felled visit this site i fix begins that years ago when commodity pretty every year they are ripped out forests left right and center to plant sugarcane and it seriously worries me because we don't replace the trees the botanical garden is not just a showcase of the ecosystem it's also home to some of south africa's rarest trees

highly prized by poachers one of the things that stands out in this botanical garden is a psycho tree it's critically endangered slow to grow but also very lucrative in the black market so researchers say that in terms of endangered species the sikat isn't as much danger as the rhino a most muslim book or has protected and grown the prehistoric cycad for years and proudly oversees the biggest collection in south africa this is the main requirements of federal. i have to take three months before we open to started tool to pull in it is called in the forest students learn about the different plants and animals how they can system works and just how critical it is to conserve and protect what remains of africa's tropical rain forest catherine saw al-jazeera. south africa. and next in our series

on the world's forests we go to southeast asia a boom in barre fuels is posing a major threat to the region's rain forest floors louis we'll have that story from malaysia as our series continues. right is time for the weather and his turf well we're looking at forest as well in the u.s. because in the western parts of north america at the moment we still have some wildfires this is the holy fire from california it's been burning for three weeks ago three weeks now for the last two days we thought it was under control but it's just flared up once more and you can see the amount of smoke that's pouring out there we've also got more wildfires further north these ones in the western parts of canada they're causing quite a few problems in british columbia the air quality has really been suffering here as a result this one's from françoise lake you can see the amount of smoke that's going up there now fortunately for the western parts of canada over the next few days

looks like we're going to see things stay quite cool and that's also going to be a good deal of most year around in the air as well you can see more cloud sinking in there and that's also bringing us a fair amount of drizzle so that's good news because it should help us to fight those wildfires further east though we've had far too much rain here these pitches from around the great lakes and they show just how much water has fallen here these from thunderstorms that we've seen just over the past twenty four hours in fact if we look at the forecast we can see those storms as they gradually going to be running their way eastwards over the next few days you can see the doctor to say indicating where that heavy rain is at the moment and then gradually it sweeps its way eastward is likely to give us some very strong winds as well as some very heavy rains that could give us more in the way of flooding marty so thank you very much indeed still to come here on the al-jazeera news tens of thousands of venezuelans escaping an economic crisis try to make ends meet in a new country. air pollution affects the way your brain works findings of a new study coming out. and in schools

information researches have been speaking to twenty thousand people in china over a four year period and tested their math along with their verbal skills with the joins us china study found the impact of breathing in polluted air increased with age affecting men with lower education the most they say the results are relevant globally because around eighty percent of us around the world particularly in urban areas we grieve unsafe there because peter one of the authors of that report now she chen is joining us live via skype from beijing is also a professor at the school of public health thank you very much for taking time to explain this rather alarming report that you've been part of what stands out for us perhaps the most the most dangerous element that we should be taking notice elf. thank you for having me so this is a really a global issue because more than ninety percent of the war the population are

living on safe air and this is where the case not only are bearing the us are in china so i think the most alarming message for us is that not only short term exposure to air pollution matters to us in terms of cognition but also long term matters so on so that means picking. be here we are taking actions for example or wear face mask or in-store airfield her me how are you just seeing a short term but in terms of the longer term the cumulative exposure to air pollution we are have a big impact towards old age and. older so when we are older so we usually make very important decisions in our life we examined all making decisions about when to retire what kind of house insurance to buy those are

critical decisions absolutely if our but can you just can you just explain to me i mean there are physiological distinctions out there between men and women for instance men according to the report are much more badly affected by heavily polluted environments and even more so are men who tend to have less education may have them explain that. yeah correct so the gender difference meanings for the to bring functionally is specially the white he showing the brain as we know they are white you sure and we call the y. matter and the green matter and the y. matter of being affected by air pollution so if this individual is exposed to too. excessive amount of pollution that were shrink why matter so so man's brain activated why met her during the cognitive has usually only why in names of that
