this is al jazeera. hello from doha everyone i'm come all santamaria this is the news from al-jazeera. the bombs rained down once again on syria's last rebel held region after warnings of a humanitarian disaster also fighting intensifies in parts of yemen after the un backed talks to end the civil war failed to take off. and counting the votes in sweden hollings coming to a close in the ruling party is facing a stiff challenge from the nationalists. in school serena williams has been fined seventeen thousand dollars for her conduct during the u.s.

open final. williams accused the umpire of making a sexist remark journey to the street to my only. so the battle for it laban more barrel bombs have been dropped in rebel held parts of syria in just the last few hours on saturday syria and russia carried out the most intense airstrikes in italy problems have been seen in weeks activists and rescue workers are talking about more than sixty attacks the intensified strikes come days after a trilateral summit between iran russia and turkey failed to agree on a ceasefire and still the u.n. warns of a humanitarian disaster seventy deca with this from antakya. death comes from the sky here. it's

a second day of an escalating air campaign targeting the southern part of syria's province and north and how much some people are fleeing their homes to the so far safer north. we came from the south of it live we're leaving because of the bombing the jets and the artillery they're hitting us with all kinds of weapons we're heading to the north now we expect everything at this stage unfortunately there is no other place for us to go to because it will get worse so we are heading to the turkish border at the moment there aren't large amounts of people fleeing the bombardment and that's because the areas targeted are in the countryside and they are less populated now turkey fears if the military offensive moves closer towards the cities that huge numbers could flee towards its closed borders and that situation is worse. hard to avoid turkey's interior minister visited the border with syria on sunday and warned against a possible new wave of refugees all along. the way were migration that will start

here will not be our responsibility alone turkey has been increasing its military presence along its border has also sent reinforcements into italy the turkish government is the opposition's guarantor in the a stone a process that has twelve observer posts inside the province if there is an all out conflict the presence of its soldiers could complicate matters there are around through a half million people in the provinces come to represent the symbolic last stand of the opposition inside syria around a million of those who live here now have already been displaced several times during this seven and a half year war and damascus backed by russia and iran has made it clear that it will not remain in opposition hands stephanie decker al-jazeera antakya how little earlier on the newsgroup i spoke to. a genie hears an academic and activist he is in this is some of our conversation he talked about people being fearful but defiant. people are very worried because it's collation seems to have started

two days ago with air strikes in the southern part of at least countryside and nothing part of the countryside itself very horrible situation as people have no choices to make as the border is a closed and every other day war seems to me both more potential actually and then it covers all aspects of life let me give you one example for some suicide. cases have been spot spotted especially among young girls at the cost of they might have heard some horrible stories about trade when the regime forces might come back to the area people are very frightened now but i have to say that they are determined i mean those who confide are determined not

to leave but to stay and fight and fight can you tell me how and if you can prepare for this you know something is coming is there a way to get i don't know supplies in to. sustain you if and when the bombing starts i just i'm trying to get my head inside this the situation you're in actually i'm unable to imagine what's going to happen when the bomb being as they are strikes just starts on a larger scale and people seem to have some kind of hope that a deal might be done by the end of the suite or some some time like this people. have some hope that turkey would do something to prevent this attack and the main concern for people here just like what happened before that health facilities are going to be the most several top. as for the regime and its allies the russians just like attacked and in french

a school last year in africa and two thousand and seventeen when they first started targeting hospitals and health centers and the civil defense around. before they carried out their tack with chemical weapons so that nobody could take any injured person to any health center or nearby hospital your friends your family how are you coping at the moment i mean what are you what are you doing during the days what are you that this this this waiting actually. very few people have decided what to do for myself and. always keep telling my family that. nothing is going to bill is going to happen but i am not telling the truth sometimes. because you know if you start making fears for your children and they will have many psychological problems so when it comes i am going to evacuated them

to a safe area not necessarily to turkey i know it's closed but maybe there are some in the farms maybe in caves in the farms or sometimes just under trees and we have had this experience before many times that throughout seventy years but this time seems to be the most horrible one the most. deadly. action may be the final stage actually every family has got a different plan nobody knows about others of those plans meanwhile the united states again voluntary action on the syrian regime if chemical weapons are used in the threat comes that was rush or is accusing the not effect of dropping bombs of a deer problem we've got more on that with rosalynn jordan live in washington d.c. let's deal with first of all this russian accusation rosamond's. well there is no official reaction as of yet from the pentagon about the russian ministry of

defense's accusation that u.s. fifteen fighter jets are dropping false response on their province or perhaps on the city of darrow's or itself. again we don't have any reaction from the pentagon but it is worth pointing out that paris or is in the far eastern part of syria on the other side of the country from a province where the russians and the syrians instead simply are now bombing positions in the very southern reaches of that province in order to try to reclaim government control of the province the u.s. military in very recent days has been telling the russians to not come east into the area where the u.s. along with kurdish fighters and rebel forces had been spending the last couple of years fighting and trying to defeat members of ice all the u.s. in fact conducted a live fire exercise on september sixth through the seventh as

a warning to the russians and to anyone else for that matter to not approach their military installation which is not far from darrow's or so it's really a question of how would the russians actually know what the americans are doing on the other side of the country if they are obeying the u.s. order to not approach that region not even for going after what the russians were saying were terrorists and then we'll some what about mike pence speaking on the sunday morning shows in the united states. well the u.s. vice president sat down with a number of the u.s. television networks on saturday for interviews that did air on sunday morning across the country and in an interview that he gave to one of the networks c.b.s. news he talked about the u.s. being very firm that if chemical weapons were being used in a province that the u.s.

and its allies would issue a very strong response however there are a lot of questions about what the u.s. would be willing to do if there were any sides of a humanitarian crisis because of the battle for this is what the vice president had to say to c.b.s. news i will tell you that we're watching very carefully as is resources are are being marshalled along the border of live province and i'm confident it will be a decision by the present in the united states but i'm confident that we'll be monitoring that very very carefully to ensure that that we don't see another humanitarian catastrophe like we did before. i should correct myself that clip was from fox news although the vice president did make similar claims that the u.s. would be on guard for any sort of humanitarian crisis but he would not

specify in any of the interviews come all just exactly how the u.s. would respond and whether that response would include mobilizing u.s. forces in order to carry out the response without update from washington d.c. thank you. violence is intensified in parts of yemen after talks to end the civil war failed to take off on saturday the fighting that happened in the red sea port city of her data the saudi led coalition and yemeni forces are battling the hutu rebels for control of that city six hundred thousand people living there and brokered talks in geneva though to end the four year war were abandoned after the hoody delegation did not show up here is andrew simmons in djibouti monitoring events for us from there what more do you know about these deaths since the talks fell apart. we know that there's been a big escalation in this offensive led by the saudi u.a.e.

coalition a lot of us trikes some estimates which we can't verify obviously of at least sixty in twenty four hours aimed at the outskirts of the city and also other parts of the province a large numbers of fighters have died it would seem and have been injured or hurt is a claiming a lot of them. the opposition what they call. mercenaries people insurgents but this far as the coalition goes they're also indicating through reports that we. have made heavy gains and been losses from the enemy now the backdrop to this is of course the geneva talks and the situation there. delegation did not show up because they said categorically that it was down to no safe passage being agreed with the u.n. mediating and the saudis. for not actually agreeing to things about that

a squabble still going on what about the civilians this is some of the feelings related to by relatives who are actually in the area. you know we're living in fear shrouded in night in fear squadrons of forty five warplanes are frequently having about our hats. we cannot sleep at night yesterday the shelling has been living in. saudi coalition no planes to go home and. a shell hit my neighbor's house it destroyed the wall where my neighbor was sleeping it just missed him by few inches. and or anything from the u.n. on this one any reaction given that as we said there does seem to be some sort of parallel between the talks which failed. well definitely a parallel in fact a direct link because the yemeni government said that it would try to fight with

the who does and bring them to the table through force and they said that publicly in geneva but then what is the motivation of either side unclear as far as the u.n. goes martin griffis the special envoy has done his level best to make things work but admitted on saturday that he could not get the final details agreed to get the who it is that he said though it is were really upset that they couldn't get there so it's unclear really he said he didn't want to blame game but it's unclear really that whether or not who's to blame for the lack of dialogue but he is supposed to be going to amman to talk to those who are trying to mediate in muscat and he was hoping to go to santa but he was also saying that it didn't have to be in geneva some talking it could be done by phone by video link by a whole variety of things so really this is

a situation now where one has to ask did this backfire or was it planned all along andrew symonds reporting from djibouti thanks. polls are closed in sweden the general election that's been centered on the issue of immigration prime minister stefan loughlin cost his ballot early in the day reiterating his call to voters reject the far right this election one of the most unpredictable races many believe the polls could change the country's political landscape journalist covering events for us from stockholm hi joe now what is the state of play now how long till we get some sort of indication. well we've had the exit polls out kemal and they're traditionally considered to be pretty reliable here two of them on the two main television broadcasters the results don't point complete civilly to who will form the next government here there will be a tight race between the center left and center right blocs that could be weeks

away what they do conclusively show though is that the sort of worst case scenario that many swedes had feared that this sweden democrat the far right party might edge into first place has not come to pass they're sitting at something between sixteen and nineteen percent according to these exit polls let's get a bit more analysis though and turn to peter want to ask you we're standing in his news room he's the chief editor of the duggan's that's the daily news it's a big daily newspaper here in sweden. disappointment do you think for the sweden democrats they will never admit that because i mean they made a historic result tonight but their party leader talked about a result between twenty percent and thirty percent and now it looks as if they will end with around sixteen to nineteen percent might be a little bit more but not twenty to thirty percent and they are not number one so in that perspective it's a disappointment for them still though a significant result for this far right party that ended mainstream politics only

eight years ago with four percent it's now possibly anyway the second big its biggest force and will exit real influence on the way ahead yeah and a major disappointment for the two big traditionally two big parties the social democrats and the moderates to conservatives although i think that the prime minister from the social democratic party staff under way in tonight with twenty six percent in the exact exit poll would never read he would never admit this because it's the worst result for them ever since democracy was introduced in sweden but i think he's relieved so i think you know we had something much worse than this and that didn't happen so politics i mean politics is weird these days. everything is changing all the always a surprise but always a surprise but but still i think he's relieved but not the doomsday scenario that many had feared here how would your newspaper using be reporting this if not the rise the coming of the far right well that the situation is very unclear we don't

know who will form the next government we would probably not know that tomorrow not next week knox not next month i think this will take it will take time because the parties has we have a parliamentary system with proportional representation the parties have to talk to each other and there is no clear majority for anything right and yet peter all of that said i mean what this election does establish is that immigration is a real issue in this country that worries and concerns a lot of people and will continue to be so impacting on the sort of image that sweden has in the world and of itself of openness of tolerance those traditional values now really challenged yeah they are under pressure although i think that sweden even after this election is still a very liberal society a lot of people that don't like to sweden democrats but there is a significant significant proportion in society around twenty percent that have voted for them and the big question is so how do we go on from here and no one has

the answer to that tonight ok peter wanted to ask you many thanks for your time leaving you now from the the newspaper offices of the duggan's and i had newspaper back to you in doha thank you jon i much appreciate it we've got lots more ahead for you on this news hour cost of us president is calling for calm as is so count on it's the region. and sport the rider who was disqualified after he made an illegal rap for victory. now the iranian military says it was behind a missile attack on kurdish forces in northern iraq on saturday this is the democratic party of iranian kurdistan which says fifteen of its fighters were killed and around forty others injured kurdish military sources said it was the

first such attack by iranian forces in more than twenty years the strikes hit an area east of about one hundred kilometers from the iranian border iranian and turkish forces have attacked bases of kurdish opposition parties in northern iraq. in the past i should say they've attacked them accusing them of inciting violence in their countries more from rob matheson he's reporting from baghdad. iran's revolutionary guard say they carried out this attack they said there had been numerous terrorist teams moving into iran's west azerbaijan kurdistan and ken one shot provinces bordering iraq it also said that the k d p i the kurdish democratic party of iran had been recently clashing with the revolutionary guards in iran's own kurdistan region now katie p.-i is one of the oldest kurdish movements in iran and it's been fighting for greater autonomy of iran's kurdish community for many years but it's also seen several of its leaders assassinated by talked to

a jury in that time iran also said that it was carrying out the attack because those leaders had been told to dismantle the camps that they had in kurdistan but they hadn't done so the important thing is the timing of this at least that's important as far as iraq is concerned this is coming just a couple of days after we've seen a significant amount of violence over several days in the southern town of basra which is very close to the iranian border and jewing that the iranian consulate in basra has been burned iran has been extremely angry about that now there's nothing to link these two events but here in iraq there is a lot of speculation that this latest missile attack in kurdistan is iran showing that it can strike back and it can strike back powerfully we've got with us now in iraq analyst a fellow at the washington institute joining us from washington d.c. nice to have you with us below twenty years since such an attack what's your thoughts on why this is happening now. good to be with you

kamau i think the iranian government in this case is hitting three targets three killing three birds with the same stone on the one hand it's sending it retaliating against the kurdistan democratic party of iran and its own iranian opposition groups that have increasing escalated their activism and militancy inside you're going into a tory. and so this is retaliation and of course some of these political arena and critics opposition parties and groups have been trying to approach washington d.c. and find a foothold in the increase american efforts in curbing iranian influence in the region but also pressuring iran to change its behavior so this is very specific to one of the iranians enemies i think the second recipient of this message is iraq key political parties at large including inside the kurdistan regional government

that has been there increased pressure from the united states to side with parties and elements in iraq you politics interest conflicts and factionalism that are farther away from iranian influence that giving their back to iran and iran's influence is going to come with a cost and this probably also a message to the iraqi shield laws and maybe some of the sunni blogs as your reporter mentioned and then finally i think there's also a larger message here to the international community this attack in particular was very well orchestrated very well timed it was an attack on. the kurdish opposition while the leadership was in meeting on one hand it also demonstrates full military prowess the missile that hit the targets were very precise they had the very room where the meeting was taken place and there was a drone some of it surveillance to take a picture of this so this is also sending a message that this iran of today is more powerful than the iran of simply years

ago when they tried to attack some targets in syria and the missiles were. some general ridicule below can you tie any of this into what we are still seeing in basser about particularly i think it was friday when the iranian consulate was set on fire and. i think this is i mean obviously the preparations for this attack preceded the events in basra but the iranian the n.t. iranian sentiment in iraq has been simmering for quite some time and not so much in iraqi kurdistan or within sunni arabs in iraq which is longstanding and not surprising but this time particularly with the shia the town the city of basra the province of basra is a shia majority town they have been immune from sectarian war they have been immune from the war against isis their anger is that they're very leaders the political parties that have been in government since two thousand and five on one hand but

the anger is by extension toward iran because iran has been the protector of domination governance in iraq on one hand but on the other there's also a direct anger at iran for limiting the supply of rivers and fresh water into a shop a lot of been there for increasing the nation of of the potable water for the people of basra so that the. very angry at the government but also angry at iran directly and by extension do you think just finally this can be contained the simmering tensions i know there's been emergency sessions held in the iraqi parliament of what's been going on a bus or but when you start tying all these things together do you think it can be contained. i think the only way to contain this is for the iraq he politicians for the new parliament. to find its backbone

and beauty sponsible and be accountable and then fortunately these two sessions that we have seen in the past we're not seeing the iraqi political elites rising up to the challenge it's still their loyalty is still to the political parties their loyalty is still to getting a seat and getting the perks i mean you saw for example the first session of the parliament actually started with the breach of the constitution by the new parliamentarians seventy five percent of which are actually new members coming in taking the valve to the they were sworn in on one hand and then we was time to actually take action on the constitutional mandate of electing a speaker of parliament they all walked away until the political leaders were to make a decision so on the one hand you have a very angry street that demands change and then you have a political elite that's not the rising up to challenge and sticking to their old guns and the old ways so let's one of these to change our lives that either the people are going to give up which there are no indications of them giving up on the protests and asking for fresh water and electricity then this is probably only

headed toward war as collation and iran is basically showing the iraqi polity and the iraqi people that it's willing to use whatever means at its disposal. pleasure talking to you thank you for joining us today. right here's what's coming up for you on this news of the tragedy of civilians in war zones and seen through the lens of a photographer. in sports. but this kind of camera jonah is landing in mexico now to prove his managerial career is not over. hello maybe not surprisingly this is still the hottest part of the world we get about forty seven daily the southwest of iran there's nothing really in the sky the showers that are potentially around in turkey are pretty rare events to be honest

so if you want still a leper i have to say it's going to be sunny skies here it's also a dancer iraq is still forty six in kuwait and it's not as quite as human as it was around the gulf states is no prevailing breezes just the committee has dropped maybe because it's going up into the sky for the west the potential for thunderstorms the mountains of western society is great and i'm that possibility of something happening in the mountains of amman as well and still you got the on shore crowd and drizzle for part of the coast of oman that has some decent rain recently in africa taking the side south of cassini just goes series gone through swaziland and it's a line that goes up not through the coast well it's really mozambique isn't it so mozambique in madagascar both seen summary recently and in the forecast i suspect the rain is going to be quite substantial as a tree fifteen line that goes out from madagascar but even touch southern tanzania sadly that means it's left behind a rather dry picture for least

the occupied palestinian territories. and the pediatric dialysis unit sixteen month old my i shall be is getting her daily two and a half hour sessions. it takes at least as long for her family to travel here from their home in the occupied west bank probably one will know a little there's no alternative right now not until she reaches ten kilos in weight then she can have a kidney and liver transplant there is no dialysis in the west bank this is the only place. now the augusta victoria along with five other hospitals in east jerusalem is facing a funding crisis after the united states decided to withhold its twenty five million dollar annual contribution it's money that was vital in plugging part of the debt owed to the hospitals by the palestinian authority allowing them to keep going aspinall says that patients will start the family impact of this decision within weeks that without alternative sources of funding it can only afford to maintain the current level of services until the end of september nearby at the

mocassin hospital money is even tighter already medicine is being rationed the trouble ministration has been increasing pressure on the palestinian leadership ahead of the publication of its peace plan withholding two hundred million dollars in aid to the palestinian authority deciding to end entirely its three hundred sixty five million dollars annual contribution to the main u.n. agency the palestinian refugees on raw or goes to victoria's chief executive says he had believed the money for hospitals would still come through given lobbying by u.s. evangelicals and the strength of their case on humanitarian grounds is tourism hospitals have been historically the bad war of the christian and his system or at that they can. only provide the masters so we thought that we are protected by this fact apparently not no more credits us aid in recent years for helping build a hospital strong medical capacity now he says president trump has changed the game

and others need to fill the gap fast after her treatment my and her family have lunch in the hospital grounds they'll need to come here every day for at least another year for the treatment that's keeping her alive are a force at al-jazeera occupied east jerusalem. north korea marked seventieth anniversary with a huge display of military might but it chose to hold back on showing its long range missiles u.s. president donald trump likes that he welcomed the decision calling it a big and very positive statement robert bright has the story from seoul. it had all the usual pomp of previous military displays but lacking much of the hardware especially the missiles compare this with this. particular bill the military parade in april last year commemorating the birth date of north korea's founder kim il song. bristling with the medium and long range missiles it was provocatively testing on

a regular basis. even at the start of the thaw in relations earlier this year north korea was showing off the intercontinental ballistic missiles that had taken it to what appeared to be the brink of conflict with the u.s. now you see them now you don't this parade had far more emphasis on the development of the economy in line with leader kim jong un's promise to improve his people's living standards after years of hardship. but the large contingent of journalists allowed into north korea for this event has been shown apparent signs of success even if they are carefully stage managed to get moving on to one continent you can because this is the seventieth anniversary of our country the workers in a factory here all coming together to do their best to produce more and to make the factory ethics us. but if kim is going to achieve real economic development he needs sanctions on his country to be lifted and the us insists for that to happen

he has to give up his nuclear arsenal not simply keep it hidden from view. with negotiations seemingly deadlocked kim jong un is not doing anything to further antagonize the u.s. seen here with v.i.p. guessed these young shoot from china's ruling politburo rather he is using the event to build on his developing links with the international community trying to emerge from the isolation of the past. robert bright al-jazeera so that the thoughts now robert kelly an associate professor at the department of political science and diplomacy at present national university told us the absence of the intercontinental ballistic missiles does show north korea's willingness to negotiate with the us probably the most important news for those of us on the outside is that there were no i.c.b.m.'s right if the i.c.b.m. canisters and gone down the street i think a lot of hawks in the united states particularly would have said look they're

threatening us again so that's good right i mean north koreans like symbolism and so that's a good thing in itself i think the north koreans are looking for a deal yeah i do i think they're not going to give up everything they want go to zero the president u.s. president should not have talked about complete verifiable your verse will disarm and you know that's just not going to happen but my guess is they probably willing to freeze or cap what they have where they are now in exchange for some kind of sanctions relief maybe a peace treaty maybe we can get them to roll back ten or twenty percent of what they have we give them you know aid or some more you know complete package i do think the north koreans are one idiotic thing the chinese sense that which is sort of where the pressure is coming from but you know the americans are kind of all over the place right i mean donald trump's you know made all these big speeches a few months ago in the calm drop that it's not really clear what the american position is particularly on the very contentious issue of a peace treaty. kosovo's president is urging restraint as his counterpart visits the region alexander forger to address to rally of thousands of people in the tributes are dominated city in the north of course of a could be part of a future territory swap meant to improve ties between the two countries remember

serbia have never recognized kosovo's two thousand and eight declaration of independence so when you go to reports from it that it's. this was the message that these kosovo war veterans wanted to send to serbia's president aleksander of which each had been determined to visit a serbian habited village so rounded by nobody in population the local mayor a man who had lost his entire family in a crackdown by serb forces twenty years ago made it clear that he would not be welcomed. fifteen thousand people were killed here during the war and thousands are still missing the serbian president cannot pass through here with all the apologizing for the crimes that were committed by serbia the wounds run deep in this corner of the balkans. and patriotic fervor runs high serbia lost control of kosovo nearly twenty years ago after a bitter conflict with rebels fighting for an independent state nato as

a defense and eventually bought the fighting to an end but the government in belgrade has never accepted cost of his two thousand and eight declaration of independence addressing one of the most nationalist serve communities in the region was always going to be a challenge from least of which the community care has always railed against compromise but compromise is exactly what mr woods has been urging saying that war and violence of any serve to isolate the septum unity here. there the structural national the idea is to save our people our country our institutions to preserve peace and at least try to build bridges of trust towards the albanians to stride. an agreement even when we know it's nearly impossible because the alternative leads up to an abyss and catastrophe. the crowd may have listened and politely applauded but not quite prepared to let go of the past to the

medulla we got the message that we should continue to stay here to fight for kosovo until we die even then our children will carry on. we have to continue our presence here and i believe better days are coming those hopes rest on how both serbs and albanians can not only live together but also thrive this is one of the poorest regions in europe and both communities are equally affected joining the european union would many here hope help financially but there is much that needs to be done for that to happen missing the only memory of them that the we have no other alternative serbia cannot continue to talk of accession to the you approach normalizing relations with kosovo and kosovo in turn need to fulfill its obligations prior to the parliament elections in the coming spring and in a region where the effects of war are still felt so vividly the instability obrist misty has blown up into conflict its leaders must tread
