coalition air strike that's according to the linked media they say it happened of one island that's part of her day that province the coalition says the boats were being used to smuggle weapons well alan fischer has the latest from neighboring djibouti. as ever with breaking news coming out of yemen the picture is slightly confused what we were told initially was that seventy pressure men were missing after the coalition targeted three ships near this island that has no been revised media reporting that nineteen freshmen are missing presumed dead although no one can get to the area of what exactly what has happened certainly the saudis are saying that they targeted three boats that they believe were carrying weapons to the no that comes just twenty four hours after the u.s. stopped a ship which they say was carrying one thousand seven rifles again heading towards there who think but it's not clear at this point if the coalition tried to stop

these vessels or they just simply attack there are those who would suggest that these were simply fishermen going about their mission but certainly it shows the concern that fisherman along the red sea have they believe they're being targeted by the coalition but also they have to navigate past the mines that are being laid all around this area and they say it's almost making it untenable for them to go out to sea to try and make a living and it's not just then. i don't think he mistook planning a future but know it will be different from how you hope to imagine his life changed forever in an instant. he was working at the popular fish market who did on the red sea when it was hit in early august after the first bombs landed he thought he was safe he was. getting nothing happened to us in the sense rate we saw the dead people we went to risk you and helped them win the second rate

happened i was busy rescuing and saving the wounded people certainly i lost my arm has been cut off the raid took place in sons of three a winter then i was so down i started screaming and howling. he was one of more than thirty injured that day those were the lucky ones twenty eight people died. suddenly i heard a big explosion i went out and nothing happened some of my friends had been injured i went to save my friends then the second right took place and i was hit still shrapnel was inside my body. the water fish market fuel is hard to come by so traditional methods are used to keep the boats at sea but because the area has been hit several times by the saudi led coalition and with the risk of mines in the water fewer fisherman are willing to take the risk of working but the one got about all of them although now. here we have only the war planes that target us who died

of hunger and our children died because we don't work due to these. kind of the. crime we have children and wives and we need to feed them we don't support any want to get the other why are we being targeted like this. abdul hakim can go home no there's nothing more the hospital can do he was the main source of income for his family his mother father brother and three sisters live very simply but they could eat because he had a job. my son as a breadwinner made a lot bless him he is the father and the mother may allow give him health and wellness and he'll am i know this is. i will never give up and i will return to work in the fish market i have no other job and i'm not going to give it up alan fischer al-jazeera djibouti. ok we can now go to some breaking news out of ukraine where the leader of the russian backed separatist done

that's region alexander is believed to have been killed we can now go to moscow where our correspondent rory challenge's is standing by hi rory what more can you tell us. well yes i was on a. seems has been killed in a bomb blast which took place at a cafe where he was with a few. colleagues and other people earlier on today. he seems is the only person of the moment dead though there are other injuries as well he was the de facto leader the head of the donetsk people's republic one of the two breakaway regions of eastern ukraine backed by russia he had risen to prominence as commander of one of the militias there and he was elevated

into the role of leader of the d.n.r. at a time when it seems that. this was a movement that was being tried to make there was trying to make itself or being commanded to make itself more home grown and less russian and as a native of he was he was considered to be a good man for the job of leading the republic. this is not the only command or leader of the militias and the republic still have met an end in similar ways there have been other commanders people who go by the names of strange calls signs like motorola and give the they have been killed as well in what looked like targeted assassinations there of course are going to be big questions about who was behind this could be the ukrainian secret services the s.b.u. it could be infighting amongst his colleagues it within the separatist movements in

eastern ukraine or it could be you know perhaps some kind of clearing up or operation ordered from moscow the russian foreign ministry has already said that it considers the. to be something that was orchestrated by kiev therefore it was it was the ukrainians strettle services the did this and inside the dome you have a republic we're being told that already ukrainians have been arrested that's where a trial is there in moscow for us thank you. russia's foreign minister says the syrian government has every right to chase what he called terrorists out of the last rebel have on clay buffett led some three million people live there including more than ten thousand rebel fighters the un has warned against a major government offensive saying that it would lead to the mass displacement of people by addressing all these issues and we're making progress on some of them

some are more difficult we can talk about that and there is also another point that i would like to add to those that i have mentioned it is important also that u.n.h.c.r. as the united nations refugee agency plays a role and has a presence is specially in the areas of return now this is sometimes spot simple sometimes more difficult it is linked often to the security situation but he's clear to everybody in the actor that he's playing an increasing role in this situation is the russian federation that they have put forward the ideas thoughts the plan for the return and the same messages that i have described to you i have also fast and to the to our russian interlocutors i meet them in damascus as well. they know it or has the latest from beirut in neighboring lebanon. the united nations reiterating its longstanding position that refugee returns are still

premature to organize large scale returns because the situation in syria is still not safe these returns cannot be in the words of the head of the u.n. h.c.r. sustainable he said philip ground a that they have been talking to refugees and we have been talking to refugees and refugees are concerned for a number of reasons even though the fighting has died down what are they going to return to many of the towns and villages have been destroyed their homes have been destroyed there is a lack of services lack of infrastructure no schools and no hospitals in some areas and they're also concerned about the not finding a job or being forced to join the army if the male the men in the family are forced to join the army who is going to work to feed the children but more importantly a lot of them are afraid of retribution they feel that there are no safety guarantees in place to make sure that the syrian government does not take any measures against them simply for leaving or accuse them of supporting and

supporting the opposition so filippo grand they touring the region talking to officials in damascus both syrian and russian officials about these refugee concerns and telling them that if indeed refugees are to return the united nations needs to have a presence for the program they did not say what response he got he did say that they discussed the russian plan for the refugee returns we asked him to elaborate on that and he may he just didn't give any details so refugees are concerned why because host nations like lebanon like jordan have been stepping up calls for refugees to return home saying that the situation is not safe in syria and that they have been a burden both on the lebanese and jordanian governments and lebanese that the lebanese president told for the program that we don't need to wait for a political solution for it before refugees return so refugees are concerned the united nations. making it clear that it is still not safe for these people to

return home. and still to come on this program an economy and crisis argentina as government battles to stop its currency from sinking any further. rescue workers than me and mar struggle to reach thousands of stranded people and plotted villages cost by a dam collapse. hello welcome to look at the international full cost a place to say we have got some sloppy dry weather now pushing towards taiwan but for the southeast of china the storm clouds stay in place and more heavy showers just around home call never really too far away driven in mona southwesterly winds will have a shot was there for sas day perhaps standing and breaking a little as we go on into sunday but the shot was never really too far away north

of that fine and dry for shanghai a thirty four cells has become for the west hanoi thirty three degrees war very heavy rain coming through here heavy rain continuing to into me a mama for a loss of shower clouds still showing up here heavy downpours into central northeastern parts of india but as the saying that we do have in me a mother still give some cause for concern this is a cause will be so the other that the dam that overflowed burst its banks recently and exceed the widespread flooding that we do have in place here at present i'm hopeful over the next few days it will turn a little less wet shall we say the showers still very much in evidence around that eastern side of the being goal hopefully not quite as washed but as we go through sunday by sunday more heavy showers there into a bit into west bengal and northern india. when you're from a neighborhood known as

a band of radicalism. you have to fight to defy stereotypes. the stories we are told by the people who live them. this is you. again history my different top stories on al-jazeera the lawyer of ugandan opposition politician says he needs urgent treatment after being tortured and

beaten at the hands of the government. and the breaking news out of ukraine the leader of the russian backed separatist done yet its region alexander go is believed to have been killed. and that these a dozen fishermen in yemen have been killed by a saudi emirates the coalition air strike of the island that's according to the link media. argentina's economic crisis is worsening the currency has sunk to historic lows and that's despite the central bank raising interest rates to sixty percent the highest in the world the government is trying to control inflation and rein in a high budget deficit but cutbacks and public spending have already led to protests as this report. the downpour from turbulent economic storms over argentina couldn't stop these university students on thursday night. the students along with their professors braved the rain to march through what osiris and expressed their

outrage over budget cuts in education but i found that i'm here to defend free and high quality public education. salaries don't masturbate of inflation at the market that will be going to that level at the top of the lower university budget the country is in a crisis because of the international monetary fund. the international monetary fund has extended a fifty billion dollar bailout loan to argentina when president asked for an early release of the i.m.f. funds the peso tumbled to a new low against the dollar ending the day at nearly half the value it had on january the first is that we the dollar worth over forty pesos we cannot buy teaching material supplies or to us. inflation is exceeding thirty percent and we are earning less than we need to feed ourselves there are teachers who are living in poverty protesters say basic needs get more expensive every day you took your rates have increased one thousand five hundred percent and businesses

are closing leaving more people jobless they blame president for what they call neck anomic disaster. economists say the government needs to stop foreign currency from leaving the country however the government has done the exact opposite they totally deregulated markets. sort of setting the grounds for the run on the dollar president is trying to ease panic among investors he has promised to restore economic growth while cutting argentina's budget deficit reducing inflation and making the six hundred forty billion dollars khana me more competitive and i know. that i think you have to give the government times the legacy of the previous government is very pronounced very complicated. but not everyone agrees the time and patience. is economy from a total collapse. and our diplomatic editor lucy newman joins us live from the financial district has areas to see what's

happening there now. hello do you know one this is where you get the pulse of what's happening to the argentine currency with relation to the dollar and it's just a buzz here people really are panicking as you can see there are cameras all over here faced towards the exchange house that is directly behind me and what they're doing is trying to find out if the dollar is going to go up or whether it is going to go down a short while ago the central bank released another six hundred million dollars to try to flood the market to try to bring down the pressure on the peso to keep or rather to bolster the paso and bring down the pressure on the dollar this house exchange houses full of people still buying dollars right now it's gone down just ever so slightly thirty eight point five minutes started at forty early this morning but that's not really much of a change from where it was yesterday and what does this mean it means that this is a problem not just for the financial markets not just for investors but for

ordinary people for arjun times who think and save in dollars which is completely understandable considering this country's absolutely chaotic financial history and so what was worth i mean when the dollar is just a people understand when the dollar goes up the prices on the value of people's salaries come plummeting down one person told me that just in april their salary was worth six hundred dollars as of today it's worth half three hundred dollars and this is why people are absolutely in a panic a lot of anxiety and the government claims it is going to somehow get a bailout package from the i.m.f. to try to bolster the economy and stop this leak of their. of the countries dollars hard currency it is not really convincing a lot of people that it's going to work via. the interest rates has already been raised four times since april i understand now or are people worried about defaults

. you could imagine it's now reached as. my colleague mentioned earlier in the package sixty percent upside is the highest interest rate in the world and that is not really easy that the anxiety and there is there are some economists who are suggesting that it is not unthinkable that argentina could again default on its sovereign debt remember it did so in two thousand and one of the time it was the world's highest sovereign debt default the government says that that is not true another economist is saying that the fundamentals are still solid and it's a problem of liquidity but we'll have to wait and see who's human newman in buenos aires with us keeping an eye on the argentinean economy thank you. the rescue workers in myanmar are struggling to reach thousands of stranded people days after a dam burst and sent torrents of water into at least eighty five villages four people are confirmed dead more than sixty three thousand forced from their homes many are angry that they weren't warned about the dams imminent collapse when he

has this report from neighboring thailand. repair work is underway at the dam site to try to stem the flow of water the breach happened on the dam spillway a structure that was once one hundred twenty meters high vast areas of but go region remain submerged beneath muddy water in some places it's starting to recede but it will be a long time before once fertile farmland can be used again several people are still missing and the military and other rescue personnel and never gauging the murky waters searching for survivors people living in the area had voiced concerns about the water level in the reservoir before the disaster they say they should have been some warning but just days before the breach or thora he's had given the dam the all clear. were going on those when we went before one day before one our people were going to begin the repair work is also started on a bridge that was damaged causing traffic chaos it's on the main yang gone mandalay

highway that links me and miles to biggest cities and it's the wit season in this part of me and ma and flooding is common the questions will be asked why the dam didn't cope this time and whether those responsible for its management and maintenance could have done more when hey al-jazeera bangkok. astray its catholic church has rejected proposed last forcing priests to report sexual abuse of children reveal jenkin to fashion now the decision up of the country's biggest religious group at loggerheads with the government a five year long inquiry had recommended that priests face criminal charges if they fail to report abuse the catholic church has accepted ninety eight percent of the record. as we were all committed that related to the catholic church. the only recommendation we turn to removing the seal of confession or priest penitent privilege as it's sometimes called and that would be no surprise to most of you.

her voice and spirit captivated the united states for more than half a century and now her bodies being laid to rest in the town where it all began hundreds of mourners have gathered at a detroit church for a music infused funeral for a week there franklin the ceremony will include tributes by the former u.s. president bill clinton and civil rights leaders jesse jackson jackson and al sharpton there will also be musical performances from stevie wonder shaka kahn and ariana grande day the queen of soul whose hits include the classic respect died at the age of seventy six earlier this month. john hendren s. in detroit for us at look at monitoring the situation what's going on there so what's the mood like. it's a mood of celebration for several days we've had people showing up at these events where aretha franklin has been lying in state and they've been dancing outside and singing today is

a little more somber event but you have this celebration by nineteen different musical acts you've got a number of politicians it's perhaps the most vicious and star studded funeral in detroit history bill clinton and jesse jackson have not yet spoken but they will and ariana grande a is apparently appearing right now she is of course going to she's going to play a wreath of franklin in an upcoming film. and she is singing right now i understand . so this is really a celebration of the life of a wreath of franklin and already that program has been so packed by such major figures that it's running more than an hour over time it was set to be about five hours now it's looking to be six possibly even longer because the politicians haven't really started speaking in great numbers yet but the people who i think are really celebrating today are the regular people out here about

a day ago it was announced that some some just regular detroiters a thousand of them would be able to come into this ceremony and so they've been lining up this morning you can see some stragglers here who were not able to get in after reach capacity but those are the people who have lived here and watched a wreath of franklin grow into the woman that she became such a talent and a big star in a town after growing up from such humble roots so the celebration will continue through the end of the day and they should be buried in the family cemetery not far from civil rights icon rosa parks that's right jonathan speaking there we are seeing ariana ariana grande singing it seems like she. the natural woman tell us about why franklin has made such an impact not only in detroit but across the world . well part of it of course is the talent i think that's why all of us around the world reflect on a wreath or frankly but it was more than that she was someone who really behind the scenes was very aggressively involved in the civil rights movement she gave

a lot of money for those causes but more importantly for the people here she was a relatively poor child a preacher's daughter raised by a single father and she had one child at twelve another at fifteen so she was singing in her father's church choir at that time and it was later on that she really became the famous person that she was but what people here really appreciate is that she never abandoned her hometown the motor city she stayed here she got involved in the community and i understand it was just announced that the park at which thirty musical bands last night performed is now going to be renamed after a wreath of franklin back gives you some idea of how the people here appreciate or . that's john hendren and detroit for us thank you so much let's listen in then. are you on the ground day one of the stars tonight paying tribute.

all right ariana grande a there amongst the celebrity stars some politicians at the tribute for a week to franklin this is our fourth day lying in state and wraps up four days of tributes to the legendary soul singer. a girl to give you all your respect. joe enjoy this i can see the knock on her cell because people love the great every step of the city of the.

police received. one of the greatest voices. for the urban community. not not not. this is one of the greatest voices not maybe of the greatest ok we are watching and we had just watched a paying tribute to our recent franklin and this funeral for the queen of soul where we're going to see a star studded tribute and detroit us did. well again here's a reminder of our top stories the knowledge is there a ukraine in separatist leader of the russian backed annette's region alexander's zucker chang co is believed to have been killed our correspondent henri schilens has more from moscow. well yes i was on

a soccer trenchard seems has been killed in a bomb blast which took place at a cafe where he was with a few. colleagues and other people here on today. he it seems is the only person at the moment dead though there are other injuries as well he was the de facto leader of the head of the people's republic one of the two breakaway regions of eastern ukraine backed by russia now the lawyer of ugandan opposition politician bobby wine says he needs urgent treatment after being tortured and beaten at the hands of the government on thursday one was detained after attempting to fly to the united states for medical care he was charged with treason in august he was accused of throwing stones at the president's convoy russia's foreign minister says the syrian government has every

right to chase what he called terrorists out of the last rebel held on play vivid live some three million people live there the u.n. warns that it could lead to mass displacement of people it is important also that u.n.h.c.r. as the united nations refugee agency plays a role and has a presence is specially in the areas of return now this is sometimes sponsible sometimes more difficult it is linked often to the security situation. at least a dozen fishermen in yemen have been killed in a saudi m.r.c. coalition air strike according to the links media they say it happened off by an island which is part of a date a province the coalition says the boats were being used to smuggle weapons. well those are the headlines stay with us now for this is europe.

europe at a time of an of this not. something yes books the press who bought books.
