special envoy to yemen offers hope after another round of talks to end the war fails to take off. again i'm peter dhabi you're watching al-jazeera live from doha also coming up a death sentence confirm for seventy five people a leading preacher among them over twenty thirteen sitting in the egyptian capital plus. iran's summons iraq's ambassador consulates is set on fire during protests in the southern city of basra also ahead. i'm joined now in sweden a country anticipating its most important election in new years a battle over values and identity with the rise of the far right. our top story the latest attempt to search for an end to the war in yemen has

failed to take off the official government delegation is leaving the swiss city of geneva after waiting two days for the hoofy rebel representatives to join the u.n. brokered talks the goofy say they didn't fly to switzerland because of concerns about their safety they didn't have an aircraft or permission from the u.s. and saudi governments to leave yemen but the u.n. special envoy says he still remaining hopeful we're going to moscow to take up the issues that we will have discussed this is what i mean by we have begun this is what i mean by we have begun. it's too early for me to say when the next round of consultations will take place or will be held that's obviously going to be high on the agenda it was so that we don't go through a repeat of this week and i think it's important to note that. answer are also wanted to be here and they're disappointed not to be here and it's important to

make that point very clear. we have had extensive discussions with their representatives. and it must got this past week and i've no doubt about that whatever you may think and they're very keen to take this process forward and so is the international community who are who are remarkably united david chase following developments out of geneva it's not exactly what anybody wants to hear it's not exactly what the people of the yemen themselves want to hear but he said essentially that trust is not being built between them it's being widened this was meant to be a framework for peace it was meant to bring trust between the two sides about the member of the delegation who i spoke to said that essentially now the yemen government think that the only way to get the who to rebel delegation to the negotiating table is to force them to the table and he pointed out that the one

thing that really is the choke point for the who tease in the north of yemen is the port of hard data and he said that you can expect increased activity military activity to try and cut off that source of supply to the who tease and to their economy and not only to their qana mean of course that would also mean that the supplies of relief aid and vaccinations and medicine would also be cut off so that is not a promising start and it clearly shows that the line from the yemeni government is hardening. well the yemeni foreign minister accused the hoofy rebels of sabotage and he was also critical of the un if you couldn't be mad about. each time these talks face the wall of irresponsibility by these coup plotters these groups who are exploiting the international efforts of the yemeni government to reach peace they are being totally irresponsible the special envoy was

unfortunately accommodating the coup plotters and giving them excuses the statements of mr martin griffiths with us and other partners had expressed his dissatisfaction with their unjustified position i feel i need to thank the government delegation for its work despite the many many provocations. ok let's take a closer look now at previous efforts to get yemen's warring parties in the same room to end the three year long conflict well the first round a u.n. led peace talks was meant to be held in geneva in june of twenty fifteen three months after the saudi led coalition intervened in the conflict but that meeting collapsed after the yemeni government in exile accused the representatives of refusing to turn up later that year the u.n. did manage to get the rival sides around the same negotiating table for six days they'd agreed to a mass prisoner swap but no other breakthrough then fast forward to april twenty sixth scene that was the last time the rival sides met in kuwait but the u.n.

brokered talks then collapsed again after they failed to reach a power sharing agreement following one hundred eight days of negotiations. as a columnist for the l could sell out of the newspaper he says the lack of political experience. unfortunately the whole of these. think the spoiled child of the international community because they said that is the beginning there is no mission from the saudis not qualify to their flight. to geneva and then they mention that they want all money not i not to nation fly. a plane and then they come with this issue of their injuries to be brought with them. to musket or to any other country to be treated so i think about trying to make it an execution is not to act in geneva because they know they know for sure that a peace agreement in yemen and employment in this process in the country will mean

and in the militias call in the country they know how to fight but unfortunately do not know how to negotiate maybe it's due to their lack of experience and politics because they are quite you know they are not even a political party that i'm a registered. the death penalty has been confirmed against seventy five people for their part in protest against the twenty thirteen military coup in egypt many of them involved in the city in the. square in cairo way ended in the massacre of hundreds of people among the defendants is the former muslim brotherhood spiritual leader mohammed but i received a life sentence about three other senior brotherhood officials were sentenced to death by hanging a photo journalist cop is expected to be released in the coming days after being handed a five year jail term he was arrested for taking pictures of the city and he's already served almost five years anyway well hussein bayoumi is the egypt

campaigner for amnesty international he says the trial had many inconsistences. you consider trying to be a completely unfair one because of its nature it's a master. there has been a lot so let's see so was in the trial. you are not able to reasons or defense according to some of the five people actually from source insisted this were not even. cleared you think it's personal because you were is a foreigner is a spiritual and leader and it was a case. you can see you can see how this is a very problematic trial. iran's minister for foreign affairs to summon the iraqi ambassador to protest in iraq's southern city of basra attacked the iranian consulate a week of violent demonstrations a seen several major buildings in the city going on fire set on fire at least twelve people have died the iraqi government is holding an emergency session over

the violence in basra you know from tehran. the foreign ministry condemned these attacks and said that the iraqi government needs to find out who is responsible and they demanded the maximum penalty for this crime and they also summoned the iraqi ambassador to teheran to protest the burning down of this consulate now the foreign ministry spokesman said that this action was an attempt by overt or perhaps covert actors to try to drive a wedge between iraq and iran and hurt the historically friendly relations that the two countries have enjoyed so while he did seem to place blame on perhaps forces outside of government control for this happening in the same breath he also said that not protecting this diplomatic mission was a failure of the iraqi government and he said that the police in basra should have done more to secure this iranian facility now the spokesman of the parliamentary

committee for national security and foreign policy has also made a statement and said that the parliament will investigate exactly what led to the destruction of the iranian consulate in bus routes so political leaders and government federal leaders here are taking this incident very seriously here and are on. the turkish president says he may intervene if the syrian government backed by russia and iran carries out a full military offensive in the province the rebels' last stronghold in syria. tweeted he would need to watch from the sidelines nor participate in such a game if the world turned a blind eye to killing thousands of people have rallied across rebel held areas to show their opposition to an all out on slaughter on it live to three million people the u.n. has warned of a humanitarian disaster on a scale not seen in the seven year conflict the u.n. special envoy to syria has called for the people it led to campaign for rebel fighters to leave built up areas and go to the countryside stephanie mistura

presented his plan aimed at preventing bloodshed to the un security council stephanie decker is in and tuck here on the turkey syria border. what is clear is that there was no consensus reached into and in fact of the back and forth between the three leaders playing out live on the air turkey's position is that it wants to manage it wants to limit what is expected to be this offensive on it live of the syrian government backed by russia to take it back from opposition forces the turkish president tweeting after he left the summit this is something he rarely does taking to twitter seven tweets in turkish but also in english russian and arabic basically saying if there was an assault on it live that turkey would not watch from the sidelines neither watching the sidelines nor petition paid in such aggression turkey's worry is of course that of a mass movement civilians towards its border area one making it very clear that turkey had reached capacity already hosting over three million syrian refugees it

is down to turkey to talk to the opposition groups inside it that is an extremely difficult task there are many different opposition groups differentiating between those certainly when it comes to hire the hit all sham this is the group for me there isn't a strike front linked with al qaida both all sides in fact saying that it needs to lay down its arms at the moment from what we understand the group is not willing to do so still ahead here on al-jazeera courts in the middle the u.s. and china battle for influence with north korea's future plus. i'm going to be reporting from colombo where the sri lankan government says it's trying to clear up a mountain of debt left behind by the previous administration we'll tell you what it disperses wants to avoid in the next year.

i love the rain is returning with some persistence to the major japanese audiences or part of a slow moving system is a change of scene. really and it suggests two days of rain quite possibly no soccer was tokyo maybe avoiding it because it looks like it's going up the west side of honshu and tailing off through southern her car into the korean peninsula should be fairly dry probably sunny in the same is true back into beijing as well now which is focusing particularly even more especially on soccer a place of course hit by the typhoon not that long ago now that lie in goes down the coast of china so persistent rain maybe in places like for john and then when it turns back up again of the tibetan plateau sichuan could be wet once again and maybe vietnam's coming back into the play but for the most part china's not like what except for specific places hong kong looks dry for example and the rain still falling fairly heavy and it's the southeast asia particularly thailand but increasingly parts of borneo singapore once again the chances are you'll get some

showers and they are trying to get jakarta but i'm not going to put that in the forecast brings showers to jakarta just yet asked for the receding monsoon rain and indeed interesting places it looks like particularly heavy rain is headed for i just. don't like this was our foundation. i tried to do something different when i met daisy it was the best day of my life. i wish that day could have gone on forever. but my past caught up with me. and made us all pay the price d.c.m. back on al-jazeera.

you're watching al-jazeera my name's peter toby your headline so far today the latest attempt to search for an end to the war in yemen has come to an end before it even started the official government delegation is leaving the swiss city of geneva after waiting two days for the goosey rebel representatives to join the u.n. brokered talks with hoofy say they didn't fly to switzerland because of concerns to do with their safety the death penalty has been confirmed again seventy five people for their part in protests against the twenty thirty nine military coup in egypt many of them were involved in the sit in the robot that we're square in cairo which ended in the massacre of hundreds of people among the defendants is a former muslim brotherhood spiritual leader mohammed but i.e. he received a life sentence there as minister for foreign affairs to some of the iraqi

ambassador to protestors in iraq's southern city of basra attacked the iranian consulate a week of violent demonstrations are seen several major buildings in the city set on fire at least twelve people have been killed. the u.s. government has further slashed aid to the palestinians now the latest cuts twenty five million dollars will affect cancer treatment and other critical care issues of jerusalem hospitals and a gallon out from washington. well this is the third week in a row that the trumpet administration has removed or as the state department told us reprogrammed aid to palestinians in this case is twenty five million dollars to the east jerusalem hospital network that is a collection of six hospitals that provide treatment that is not available in guards or all the west bank so we're talking about things like critical care cancer care child dialysis and that twenty five million dollars really does go a long way but this as i said is the third week in a row last week we saw three hundred million dollars in palestinian aid removed

from the united nations the week before that it was two hundred million dollars in humanitarian aid so altogether we're looking at half a billion or just over half a billion dollars in aid to the palestinians removed by the trumpet ministration president trump himself says the angle he's taking here is he wants the palestinians to talk about peace if they don't this is a way of in getting back at them a bit clearly the treatments that have been put in place or provided by these hospitals that really will affect the most vulnerable people among this is dialysis for children so that gives you just some idea of what removing this kind of money will do to palestinians the u.s. president donald trump is threatening to slap tariffs on the all chinese imports mr trump said on friday he has a package of new jersey's ready young goods worth two hundred sixty seven billion dollars now that's in addition to tariffs already announced for imports totaling two hundred billion dollars the move is seen as the most dramatic escalation in the trade war between china and the united states. one of china's most senior officials

encouraging kim to drag his feet over denuclearization so china can gain leverage in its trade dispute with the u.s. china's foreign ministry spokeswoman says the trumpet ministration is in comprehensible i mean the towns here america should reflect on itself first is that a flip flopping and blaming others regarding america's attempt to pass the buck i am sorry we would rather not accept kim jong un and she jinping has met three times this year those meetings all happened in china the last encounter just a week after the singapore summit these get togethers were intended to imply a warm personal relationship between them a year ago they weren't on speaking terms one chinese political commentator says the trump kim she relationship is a complex one based on the new pew lation by all three.
