the past year but they also point to possible crimes by hoofy rebels who are battling against the coalition and yemen's government a social teens been putting together this video explaining the main points of the reports.

individuals in the government of yemen and the coalition including saudi arabia and to your knowledge of the emirates may have conducted attacks in violation of the principles of distinction proportionality and all precautions which may amounts to war crimes. all the minister of states for foreign affairs anwar ghosh has posted two tweets in response to the report in one he said regarding the report by the un experts we should review it and respond to what it said about the horrors and the crime committed by the hoofy militias how they targeted the civilians wars always carry a lot of suffering we saw that in afghanistan iraq and syria but at the end of the day he says we are responsible for our security and stability here lies op

priorities now as we saw in the report earlier the video the un also urged the international community to refrain from providing arms that could be used in the conflict an apparent reference to countries including the u.s. and britain will help on the saudi led code. ssion and iran to which a coalition has accused of backing the hoa fees james mattis u.s. defense secretary and the joint chiefs chair jones have dunsford have been speaking together to the media matters says the u.s. support for the saudi coalition in yemen is not unconditional taken this at no time have we felt rebuffed or ignored when we bring concerns to them the training that we have given them we know has paid off we have seen staff procedures that put no fire areas around areas where there is hospitals or schools we we recognized every mistake like this is tragic

in every way but we have not seen any callous disregard by the people we're working with. al jazeera spackle hain is at the pentagon will be speaking turn later on the news great but for now i want to bring in. a visiting fellow at the brookings doha center not before we talk about the reaction there from the u.s. defense secretary i want to get your overall opinion of this report the first effort at presenting an extensive look at the situation the people in yemen are facing by the united nations does it go far enough in your view well i mean these reports are of course extremely important it's also a sign that there's growing international pressure to halt these crimes that are being committed in yemen however it is it's not enough you know it's not the first time that we've seen reports based on you know investigations on the ground detailing the horrific atrocities that are being that are being committed in yemen and also these reports offer really just a glimpse of the death and destruction caused in yemen it's not just death by

airstrikes right it's a death by starvation disease directly caused you know as a direct result of this war and so what what is interesting about this report however is it does make reference to sort of the more widespread devastation that are and yemenis have suffered not just from the strikes but also from from the resorts as you say they've been a lot of reports on yemen but this is seen as an accomplishment by the u.n. human rights council because it's the first you know from from the u.n. however despite blaming all sides it seems and correct me if i'm wrong that they're being a bit cautious even though they say the saudi led coalition has been responsible for the death of civilians the most they blame is put on everyone in the conflict what does that suggest to you the fact that they're not putting the blame entirely on the saudi led coalition despite the fact that they're responsible for the most civilian casualties well look i mean i think the report has made clear that all in

all parties are responsible for crimes because that is the reality and. so it you know it would be it would be worth some of the reports place the blame on you know on only one side or not the other now of course it has explicitly said that most the most direct civilian deaths have been caused by the yemen yemeni government and its allies and the saudi and emirates he led coalition this is significant it's also issued a confidential list of individuals who may be responsible for these crimes and who should be held accountable so these are sort of new and important steps taken by this report to now of course the question remains what happens next in the end you know in the absence of any sort of international recourse for criminal accountability this is a difficult question but it's an important one and it's good that it's on the agenda and also interesting in the record is that they condemned international players who were providing weapons to the warring sides but didn't specifically mention names didn't specifically mention the united states the u.k.

or iran who are supporting the whole thesis what does that say and do you think you know we heard from maddest the defense secretary of the united states there saying that the u.s. support to yemen is not unconditional will this put pressure on these countries that are supporting these warring sides to perhaps review their positions in this conflict well i don't think so and i hope i am wrong but it is it is noteworthy that this report has specifically called for the halting of these arms sales because this is one very concrete step that can be taken to help alleviate the you know the death and destruction happening in yemen i think that you know there needs to be there need to be stronger statements the fact that as you said the u.s. and the u.k. france australia and other countries have not been named this is of course extremely frustrating there implicitly referred to but they they must be named and they are they also must be held to account for their complicity in this war but given how polarizing and how controversial and how lucrative this war has been i

don't think that we will be seeing such you know. naming. and you know as you said an important report a very significant one but is it likely in the immediate to stop the suffering of the people in yemen it's not going to change anything to the situation on the ground is it. unfortunately i don't think so we know that on the sixth of september there will be peace talks in geneva led by the un special envoy for yemen martin gryphus and so we can only hope that some sort of an agreement will be reached despite the string of failed peace talks in the past. i have always good to get your thoughts on yemen thank you very much for joining us here on the news great now worth reminding you again of the parties directly or indirectly involved in yemen's conflicts the u.s. u.k. france among others have offered military and intelligence support to the saudi led coalition which consists of saudi arabia the u.a.e. rain among others and on the other side you have backing the hoofy rebels iran who

are who the rebels who are in control of yemen's capital sanaa and much of the north won backing the healthy side so a very complex conflict with a lot of different actors and also if you get a chance watch this interview with the outgoing u.n. human rights chief done by a team at talk to al jazeera saying discusses the situation in yemen extensively and also the future of human rights defenders it's on our website at al-jazeera dot com. now a day earlier the united nations accused myanmar's military of the brave its crimes including genocide and call for top military generals to be prosecuted a u.n. fact finding mission examines particularly the military offensive in rakhine state that's for seven hundred thousand ring of muslims to feed to bangladesh myanmar's government has dismissed the allegations but forty five writes an asia base human rights group says the refugees have captured the genocide on their mobile phones and have enough wrong video to make

a case at the international criminal court the organization is urging prosecutors to work closely with refugees and quickly because they worry that evidence will be lost if phones are damaged in squalid flooded camps a salon if a car is a human rights lawyer for the burma task force speaking earlier to my colleagues here raman he said there is strong evidence but un politics could get in the way. the first important thing to keep in mind is that the united nations they don't use the word genocide lately genocide under international law is a term of art and it actually triggers protections under both the genocide convention and other treaties which now the u.n. security council must take forward to decide whether or not they recommend the international criminal court the i.c.c. eight to issue genocide indictments against maurice military but is a good first step in the right direction going to go to the u.n. security again because this fact finding mission to find that i mean was committing

genocide and now the security council is going to have to decide whether or not to or referred to the i.c.c. the problem here. is the fact that shot both china and russia which are bulls permanent members of the u.n. security council have been tested this reporting to me and my government and it will be true and so again there's going to need to be more international mounting pressure you're going to start to see many security council member countries issue sanctions against madam our travel freezes similar to what the united states and our u.s. treasury department has recently done so they were going to start to see the retching up of pressure against man as government with this genocide finding. iftikhar the and we're getting quite a few comments on the u.n. report on a yemen a one here from a wanda on facebook who says the u.n. is toothless why don't they impose sanctions on the countries which are fighting in yemen another comment here from yasmeen who says it's disgusting that the u.s. and u.k. are selling arms to the saudi led coalition they have blood on their hands will

love to hear from you on this story and others we're covering on the news great today get in touch with us using the hash tag a.j. news great on social media and all the different ways to get in touch on your screen right now again the hash tag news great moving on now to other world news and canada is coming back to the negotiating table with the united states and mexico to try to salvage the north america free trade agreement nafta or a new version of the pact there under pressure after u.s. present donald trump announced he had reached a deal with mexico that would replace not-a all three countries had been working on a new agreement since last august but mexico and the u.s. recently began negotiations on their own canada's foreign minister interrupted a trip to europe to rush to washington on tuesday we're all over this with daniel standing by for us in toronto we'll go live to him in just a second but let's go to kimberly in washington d.c. first kimberly donald trump it seems is trying to start strong on canada into

reaching a deal what sort of reception is a canadian foreign minister likely to receive in washington. well daniel might have a better understanding of sort of the position of canada but in terms of the reaction in washington there seems to be judging from the stock market's reaction to the announcement by the president with this sort of bilateral part of the deal formalized between the united states and mexico very strong and favorable reaction because what donald trump is essentially done which is pleasing a lot of american workers as well as american businesses is sort of laying the groundwork with these nafta negotiations for combating china the top economic adviser in the traveling ministration larry kudlow speaking on national television saying that's really what this is all about when donald trump and mexico's president decided that what they'd like within nafta is a requirement that seventy five percent of cars be made in the united states or

mexico those components what they're saying is that china has been flooding this market with cheap parts and that's hurting both countries so this is the argument that's expected to be laid down before the canadians that there is a mutual interest it's sort of signing on to this because it would benefit not just the u.s. and mexico but it would also benefit canadian companies and canadian workers as well standing up to the behemoth china and this is also again the groundwork for of course the fact that donald trump has other trade wars going on not just in north america but also issues with the european union and of course with china this is the first step in negotiating those in the oval office he said the next steps would be taking on those other countries thank you for life force in washington let's cross over to donny unlike in toronto not so you know don what's reaction in canada to the us mexico deal are they worried. frankly i think they were

a bit surprised that it was announced in such a way by president from what we're hearing from the people in the foreign minister's office minister chrystia freeland office is that this is progress by two negotiating partners they're carefully avoiding the use of the word deal and they're saying canada will take part now in the modernization of nafta the north american free trade agreement and they will only sign a deal it's a benefit to this country it's the sort of thing that they would say wouldn't they have to say that they're representing this country on the other hand i think they're worried about what they might have to give up the u.s. and mexico as kimberly was saying and made quite a bit of progress on the auto file that's important to canada but canada also has many concerns of its own and it's really not clear what they're going to do especially if the deadline of reaching agreement this week is going to be enforced by the other two countries danielle i have a comment here from one of our viewers on facebook who says there is no i don't turn it in to survive in trade in business canada has to compromise with the united

states so i wonder what kind of a deal this kind of want to exactly with the u.s. and one of the sticking points right now. well many of the sticking points the u.s. and mexico have addressed and one of them i think is of quite concerned to canada because mexico has basically said there's no need for a dispute resolution panel between where two countries have a dispute they can get a neutral third party to resume it to to resolve it that's pretty much gone the other problem canada has is with its dairy poultry and eggs sector heavily protected here and indeed president trump has talked about it he wants u.s. access to that market he says duties of three hundred percent or sometimes imposed on u.s. products on the other hand very politically sensitive for canada to open up those markets possibly leading to job losses economic losses in those sectors this is the sort of detail in the weeds that need to be gone into this week if possible and that's why the minister is racing to the u.s. and is expected to join the talks if not later today then very very soon thank you

for that danny unlocked live in toronto on the news great and an interesting opinion piece by award winning journalist andrew emitter of a sour on the future of u.s. kansa relations under donald trump and just introducing the police despite the threats by the u.s. not much will change he says trump is not the first and certainly will not be the last u.s. president to try to scare canada into submission when it comes to trade it's an interesting perspective on our website at al-jazeera dot com. now russia has called for an emergency meeting of the u.n. security council about an expected offensive in syria as it laid province earlier the kremlin warned the u.s. against taking any reckless steps after the u.s. vowed a strong reaction to any chemical or biological attack in italy it is a last remaining opposition stronghold and his encircled by syrian government forces osama bin job it has been taking a closer look at what's been happening in italy. ga syrians in rebel held areas are

rejecting russian warnings of an imminent chemical attack staged by the opposition russia's ministry of defense says what it calls terrorists are planning to fake a chemical weapons attack which will be blamed on the syrian government western governments and syrians such as these protesters from the northern town of covers it there say russian claims are meant to sow confusion and to be of the way if we get in a little chemical weapons massacre how large this is our reply to these claims everyone here is the reply they say only terrorists and militants are here are these terrorists and militants those who killed our children in good or in concha khun plan to kill them here as well but they will never take our roots from these lands your claims mean nothing russia means nothing in the homicide we are here in the city telling the brutal killer and criminal regime and its gangs as well as the russian and iranian occupiers that we will stay firm in this city. syria's war is complicated with many countries involved using proxy armies the northern

countryside of hama and in the province are the last remaining rebel held areas the syrian government is vowing to recapture so-called terrorist areas as syrian troops continue their build up around russia and turkey have shown willingness to find a solution which doesn't involve an all out attack. iran's defense minister discussed post-war reconstruction at a recent meeting in damascus i mean to me says the syrian government invited iranian troops his beloved forces and shia militias which are backed by iran have been instrumental in recapturing rebel held parts. the u.s. and its allies want to end iran's influence in syria as an american envoy made clear in territory controlled by us by kurdish fighters we remain focused on ensuring the withdrawal of iranian forces and their proxies from the joint syrian russian command post the message is clear that the bill faced the same attacks as all of the rebel held areas in what they call liberation from terrorism. this is

what that liberation looks like whether in homes or aleppo areas back into the control of president bashar al assad's forces backed by russia and iran. there can pierce the u.k. ambassador to the united nations she says the situation in adelaide is getting worse we are extremely concerned about the situation around its lip where there are almost three million civilians we believe they are at risk every shima sult we have some interesting questions we want to pry away of excitement the machine forces have been located. and of course at the back of everyone's mind is the risk of another chemical weapons attack such as we have seen in east. let's just remind you of who controls what in syria that's in the northwest corner as you can see there pocket of rebel rebel. rebel area and green net and it's

surrounded by government tell territory in a red that's not speak to high tide in paris via skype he's a syria researcher at chatham house thank you very much for being with us we've seen a wave of s. strikes and shelling this month in italy possible possibly rather pay you to a full scale government offensive there but a number of countries including turkey are very wary about a full scale battle in italy do you think you know a military offensive can be averted at this stage well this is what everyone is looking to do it goes on. and to negotiations for the order. really well he's going through and. this is why they have not been able to reach any kind of agreement on this is why. there has been orderly.

that has not been there is the. right people on the ground don't know what will. this is why everyone is just waiting to see what would happen there as you say they've been they've been differences even between pro-government on eyes about what happens next in italy where do they differ exactly and if there is a final push what allies which countries do you think are likely to get involved. well so far and previous of. the iranian militia militias are the ones who are basically carrying out the guys on the ground while their actions are providing air support what we would most likely be seeing you know if there is uncertainty of where iran and personnel will cooperate with. forces underground or that capture is if indeed it is not. so that the those are the two main i have to if you run on and brush up when it comes to what their defense the difference

between them are so far that up to the is planning to think is there is basically an imminent attack when it is late to prevent the iranian militias and. others from basically taking some sort of. base in areas around the diffuse border meaning and. the at the start sorry to interrupt i just want to talk about the americans and you know what they're likely to do that said that they if there were any chemical attacks they would get involved that that would constitute a red line as we've heard in the past there are those who say that perhaps because the americans have said things that we could see an attack of this nature from some of the rebels in its lead in order to get the americans involved what do you make of that. well so far it has not it has been here that rebel forces don't have the capacity to produce or produce or carry our chemical or her. previous

investigations into chemical or rocks in syria showing that the regime is the number one responsible for the extreme measure it is or that. isis was responsible for a small percentage of that while the rest of river forces don't have any kind of gray are so this is why it's extremely unlikely for where those forces to be able to carry our search at that first and second they cannot really count on the u.s. to carry out large scale attack against the regime because in yours there is there is a. one an attack and then we will most likely be seeing one of from they rest it's on lies in order just to say that this is a red line and we are serious about it but they are cannot expect anything more and so then carrying out that in order to reach the u.s.

to be heavily involved is not generally work and you know that very well thank you very much for speaking to us hide hide joining us on the news great there from paris. let's now go live to washington d.c. and patty cole hain who was at a briefing of the pentagon very shortly with the defense secretary patty talking about a number of issues conflicts in the middle east including syria and yemen of course let's start with syria because we were just talking about a possible american involvement in syria they've said that if chemical weapons were to be used in it late that that would constitute a red line for them any more information about what involvement what role the u.s. could play in syria in the very near future. well we heard from the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff he said there about two thousand u.s. forces in syria and they said again the primary mission is to try and defeat eisel mostly or in the euphrates valley they disputed the one report that said there's many as thirty thousand eisel fighters in iraq and syria wouldn't give an exact

number but said that doesn't seem likely as for chemical weapons and secretary of defense jim mattis was asked about that he said you've seen us act twice when chemical weapons were used in the past and that they will be keeping an eye out they did talk about man bijan that they are working with turkey having different separate patrols right now but that they plan to set up a training facility in turkey so that turkish forces and u.s. forces could patrolman bij together so really this was unusual because we just haven't heard from the secretary of defense very much in this administration that's a change from past administrations so we heard from them today and basically we span the globe everywhere that the u.s. is involved they talked about it ok and they did talk about yemen of course what was the reaction patty to the u.n. report which said that all sides could be guilty of war crimes in yemen and also mentioned international forces international powers of that naming them that are

supporting the difference warring sides in yemen what was the u.s. response to that. really nothing has changed for a u.s. perspective even after we've seen that school children bombed and in their school buses the atrocities are being highlighted by the un but here at the pentagon somewhat of a defensive tone secretary medisave he we didn't start this war and he defended u.s. action say that they work with saudi arabia to make sure civilians are not targeted and said you don't hear about the places it's been successful because it doesn't make news he said saudi pilots are being much more restrained in when and where they'll drop bombs he did talk about that recent attack about forty schoolchildren he said that that wasn't a preplanned mission that that was a pilot who states that saw a target and acted obviously in error but they are investigating that right now they said that he defended saudi arabia he said whenever we've expressed concerns to them they're very open to changes and he gave no indication that they had to

make any changes in yemen he said this was started under the past administration they came in they did a review in his words he said saudi has a right to defend themselves and the u.s. perspective is to try and install what they say is the legitimate government in yemen thank you patty patty forest at the pentagon here with a news great on al-jazeera the facebook my stream a social team looks at how japanese women are being discriminated against when they get pregnant and still ahead on the show britain's prime minister shows off her move says she visits africa looking for post rexy trade digs to status. hello there is generally quite quiet across many parts of the middle east at the moment it's hot and sunny for most of us but there are a few areas where there's slightly different types of weather we're seeing

a bit more cloud up in the far north eastern parts of our map and that's giving us one or two showers and i think for the northern parts of turkey we're also seeing some more cloud there for wednesday and there's a chance of a few outbreaks of rain as well that system gradually edges its way eastwards as we head through thursday though and so most of us here should see dry weather to elsewhere is just pretty hot at the moment with baghdad all the way up at forty seven degrees now here in doha it's not quite that hot because things have suddenly got more humid and they'll stay humid over the next few days to our maximum on wednesday thirty nine degrees but expect it to be a very sticky thirty nine there's a bit more cloud on the south coast to rome and that's pushing its way further inland as we had three thursday so think a cloud over parts of a man into yemen just about into saudi arabia as well and that will be giving us one or two showers around the coast around salada as you'd expect around this time of year at and towards the southern parts of africa largely fine enjoy you can see the winds bringing in a little bit more moisture and that's what we'll see as we head through wednesday so a few showers around mozambique maybe

a couple in madagascar as well but away from there it's fine and dry sixteen the maximum in cape town. when you're from a neighborhood known as a hotbed of radicalism. you have to fight to defy stereotypes. of the meeting going on the stories we don't often hear told by the people who live them but no money joy when men when they. make given subversion is a little. some of the folks us this is europe. an al-jazeera.

al-jazeera. where every your.

headlines on al-jazeera and the top trending stories on dot com south sudan rebel leader refusing to sign a peace deal that number one they will have more or less. a little later on the show also trending a report that saudi arabia's king salmon run calls. and at number three our top story on the news great today and the u.n. report which says that all sides in yemen are suspected of the times one of those stories on our website at al-jazeera dot com. a seventeen year old girl shocking revelations about how she was raped and abuse have been sending shock waves throughout morocco it is looking at that for us what have you found funny the girl known only as could deja says she was kidnapped raped tortured forcibly tattooed and burned with cigarettes while being held captive for two months by thirteen men in central iraq oh here she is speaking on local t.v.

it's muscle how does she the i'm full hold on my arms were swollen and there's a lot of them rate me and he was getting paid i was raped for two months i tried to run away so many times but i was over and over there all criminals they would reach me and then they would burn my skin very dangerous again. i'm simply asking for my rights they need to be punished for what they've done to me they raped me they destroyed me and my life is gone amok i feel lost i was never like i used to pray i used to read i had a life i will never forgive them for what they have done all the harrowing story has resonated right across social media thousands have signed an online petition calling for civil society and the rocco's king to help by giving her psychological and medical support to rebuild her life and remove the tattoos. moroccans also expressing their shock online by sharing this drawing that patrol is

a nude tattooed girl with her face covered with a s.o.s. sign along with the hash tag justice for could ija and we are all khadija or people have also been very vocal on twitter rosa he says that this is a rape culture these are not isolated incidents we witness these actions every day and they all reinforce explicit violence if this is the change the culture must change and then i'd adds it's important to note that moroccan judges are yet to enforce the law to punish crimes like these now in a separate case iraq and saddam jarrett is facing a third charge of rape and is being detained in france previous allegations against him did little to dent his fan base in fact when he was arrested in twenty sixteen it's reported that marcos king covered the syngas legal fees now some asks what kind of message is morocco's king sending by continuing to pay the legal bills for recently arrested accused rapist saddam jarryd while the harsh realities of rape

culture and impunity of sexual violence in jaw in morocco now one of our viewers who is a gulf aki he's drawing parallels between the two cases listen what has happened to her is a real shame for humanity the whole world has shown support to the goal and family and i feel that the civil society has to make pressure on the moroccan authorities in order to bring justice to her and to her family otherwise they may treat those monsters today like they have treated saddam so justice for the teacher. well for years activists have criticized light sentences handed to people convicted of rape violence and harassment and a new law will soon come into effect to better deal with violence against women but the moroccan association of human rights is worried that this won't be going far enough and says society has to change fast and. we've been following up

with kitty just case and let me make it clear this is not the first time we've heard of such an incident there's been a spike in rape incidents targeting minors it's a bill in morocco that no one likes to discuss or even mention everyone rushes to blame the victim and that makes the problem a complicated and this is why families avoid discussing the issue with their kids and therefore preventing awareness well if you are in america we do want to hear from you send us your thoughts here's the hash tag aging is great where you can disappear message me directly and after him home and funny right i thank you very much yes not take a look at some of the other stories making headlines around the world and we start in iran where the president delivered a rallying cry against u.s. sanctions to being summoned to parliament to explain the country's sinking economy hassan rouhani tried to reassure them that the sanctions will be overcome and he won't let the white house get away with what he called its untie iran prompts chair no you know. why have the people's hopes changed wife in regard to iran 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 dealt with this we must get rid of we will not allow a bunch of anti iranians that today have gathered in the white house to plot against us the white house will not be happy with the end of today's session. well the two countries are currently facing off at the international court of justice where iran is challenging the u.s. sanctions iran says it's the victim of economic strangulation and argues the sanctions violated a friendship treaty that they signed way back in one nine hundred fifty five the americans say the court has no jurisdiction in this area lawrence lee is at the hague with more 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 ascensions and the overwhelming overarching all human 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. his argument is that iran's complaints isn't really about the nineteen fifty five agreement it's all bus about the united states pulling out of the nuclear deal and really imposing sanctions and based on that it says the cold doesn't actually have the power the jurisdiction to rule on this it's also effects of lee 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 all the 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 u.s. over the decades unfriendly actions it would say in breach of the nine hundred fifty of 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 of they also say that nine hundred fifty five agreements actually specifically excludes issues to do with national security and nuclear materials as
