it's a of the stories we don't often hear told by the people who live down. the master barber of berlin this is erupting on al-jazeera. a a. revolt. at least five people have been killed after a car bombing in the capital of somalia will bring you the latest from mogadishu. i know that i'm sure you're watching al jazeera live from doha also coming up in the program using starvation as a weapon of war more than one child could die of hunger every minute this year in conflict zones. one of europe's most liberal nations takes

a turn to the right we'll tell you about sweden's political deadlock. the cambodian opposition leader kevin accused of treason is released from prison. afghanistan tries to protect its female police officers by building them fortress. at least five people have died in an explosion that has taken place in somalia's capital mogadishu and we're getting reports that the blast was caused by a car bomb near a government building and that huge clouds of smoke can be seen above the city witnesses have told reuters news agency that gunfire followed that blast in the somali capital mogadishu this is where al shabaab has for more than the last

ten years been waging a bombing campaign against the u.n. backed government in mogadishu this particular suicide car bomb we are hearing a local government office and casualties have been reported we're hearing of five people. killed this is just after the beginning of september another suicide bomb attack targeted a government district office there in the capital mogadishu and this is shattered aperient of calm there in the somali capital when we can speak to someone inside mortgage issue will come straight back to this story. turning to other news six hundred thousand children that's more than one a minute are expected to die from hunger in war zones this year that's according to a report by the charity save the children it says four and

a half million children under five will need treatment for severe malnutrition this year that's a twenty percent increase in two thousand and sixteen tens of thousands of children could die in yemen afghanistan and sudan but the biggest number of fatalities is expected in the democratic republic of congo where three hundred thousand are at risk save the children is warning that starvation is increasingly being used as a weapon with warring parties blocking food and medicine leading to devastating consequences understands as reporting on the war in yemen from nearby djibouti and under the numbers of children affected by war on the rise it seems this year in yemen is one of those conflicts where civilians are most bearing the brunt of conflicts. that's certainly the case of or overall when you look at the figures has to be said right now that to bring you up to date with the escalating conflicts in the data there have been

a number of further attacks in this twenty four hour period that saw twenty at least twenty asterix in one area and another forty around the city itself those are the sort of thing is that verified that we've been dancing with schools of people killed mainly fight as it has to be said but many civilians also the minorities of it is but out of the number of civilians we don't know if all of the number of children affected and certainly we know children have been injured but in terms of fatalities not sure but getting to the central thrust of your question indeed the situation regarding hunger in yemen is colossal and it's been touched on in direct me and directly by martin griffiths the u.n. special envoy who at the moment is desperately trying to get things back on track in terms of getting the two warring sides together he failed in geneva he says they can talk in on

a phone in any place in the world to try to get peace the would cease fire hasn't been used yet in any of the diplomatic language is just to try and gain confidence of confidence could be the would use because right now this hatred and the determination to carry on fighting and we're seeing the situation get worse not better and of course the issue of hunger is right up there in neon lights. ok andrew thanks very much for bringing us up to speed on the latest film is that in hundred days or and in yemen more broadly stephy deca is also following this story for us and she joins us from are hardly in turkey in the reports we're hearing that starvation is being increasingly used as a weapon of war and this has been particularly evident hasn't just over the border from where you are in syria. that's right over the years it's been incredibly effectively employed by both the syrian government the allies of the syrian government and the rebel forces all sides are

complicit in using this trying to achieve their military and political aims the bigger picture is this laura over the last couple of years you've seen an element you know a lot of places that were besieged by government forces or rebel forces but particularly a wave of government areas besieging opposition areas like eastern close to damascus we had horrific images of model norrish children skeletal children coming out also the elderly after those areas were besieged for years also watch out in homs yet who camp in damascus at some point the u.n. put out a picture of thousands of people crammed between destroyed buildings waiting for food handouts this kind of pressure has been employed to to starve so to speak the opposition into submission into making some of these reconciliation deals that has over time seen the government take back more and more territory some of that is evident behind me that's province in syria that's an account for the internally

displaced many people there have come from those areas had lived under some current of c. and also you know aid being used as a weapon of war the aid agencies trying hard to get. convoys sorry into these kinds of areas and that checkpoints both rebels and government forces would sometimes remove whether suit items whether it was medical issues so it's been extremely effectively applied inside syria and certainly that is a result of how we see the ground developing today very tragically thanks for bringing us the latest line is that from the. now we're getting reports of gunman attacking the headquarters of libya's national oil corporation and that's in the capital tripoli no witnesses saying they've heard heavy gunfire in and around those . headquarters and security have cordoned off the area and are reported to be engaging with the attackers is another story that we are keeping

a close eye on for you and we'll be getting updates from tripoli as soon as we can . sweden faces a period of lengthy political wrangling after an election which no single party won a majority of the far right sweden democrats made some has made some gains the center left bloc led by prime minister came out with just over forty percent of the vote was the center right opposition alliance say they have been given the mandates and leads the country virtually the same share as the leftist outgoing government bloc and the far right emigration sweden democrats that by. gained support in their vote rise to seventeen percent talks of all the new government will begin on monday but all parties have so far refused to work with and the far right. will diffract of course i'm disappointed that's a party with nazi roots. and it's a party that in this election has had representatives that want

a journalist to die which is glorified hitler and humiliated victims of the holocaust this weekend democrats could never offer a change or improvements in society the only thing they could offer is widening the gap in society and growing hatred. toward our reports from stockholm. the center left social democrats have been the biggest party in every swedish election for a century true again this time but not by far and it's a relief it's be their worst result ever i think it's fine the problem now is how can we make it. how can you be government with this since it's really hard to see. how to how to make a staple of government this is an election that seen support shift from the center to the extremes coalition building will be tough one big winner has been the empty immigrant sweden democrats are not as big as they'd hoped the story of the night is

that while the far right has become a force in swedish politics they won't be taking over just yet what would seem harry is a political earthquake. really brought his political history and i think that they're the leaders of the two big parties social democrats and the moderate party need to listen to this single from the swedish people need to do saying it's the policies that that the sweetest people want to see the rise of the far right in sweden meant voters took to the election with customary enthusiasm even if many harbored deep concerns terrible i just want to cry when i think about it they see. awful things i mean yeah of course we have a lot of refugees here we need to take care of them they come from a terrible place terrible course we can't just throw them out immigration and integration have been front and center in a divisive vote with this country's famous values of tolerance and openness at

stake so sweet and isn't in danger of becoming a far right state and nor are the sweden democrats even likely to make it into government no party at this stage will even talk to them but they are likely to continue to exert and in direct influence on the way ahead having already succeeded to the horror of many. in putting nationalism and identity politics on the swedish agenda peter waller dusky is editor in chief of one of sweden's major daily newspapers the tone has already changed it has changed a lot and i think the major change came in two thousand and fifteen after the big refugee crisis a lot of refugees came in sweden in a very short time span and the systems here didn't work properly a lot of people reacted to that and the sweden democrats sort of logical consequence of the world they searched in the polls as a result of that crisis and they've stayed on that kind of result since some swedes

will tell you the rise of the far right is overblown that this country has never been happier or more prosperous but extreme politics are in sweden to state now many of the swedes see trouble ahead joe the whole al-jazeera stocco. turned out our top breaking news story a huge blast that was heard just in the past hour or so in the somali capital mogadishu i have a double as a radio and t.v. journalist based in mogadishu and joins us via skype from the somalian capital good to have you with us what do we know about the cause of this blast. and their explosion was it was because back to the experience of these exploding in the issues district gets. haven. and the time an explosion was identified as. i was when the explosion was hitting i was the zob it we are the biggest explosion in somalia here. there were reports

while the leadership was in meeting on one hand it also demonstrates military prowess. missiles that hit the targets were very precise they head the very room where the meeting was taken place and there was drone surveillance to take a picture of this so this also sending a message that this iran of today is more powerful than the iran of a couple of years ago when they try to attack some targets in syria and the missiles were subject for ridicule. the group is iran's oldest kurdish movement it's been fighting for more autonomy for kurds in iran iranian government says it carried out the attacks because of what it calls terrorist teams attacking revolutionary guards in towns inside iran's own kurdish region iran says leaders of the group that attacked on saturday have been ignoring its warnings to dismantle their camps this is a rainy an attack comes just a couple of days after violence on the streets of the southern city of basra
