12:00 am
when you have plenty of experience with live where harkens away over to hurricanes florida and north carolina where i'm actually originally from and sometimes the best way to really get to know what's happening in a place is simply by looking at what people are posting on social media there are thousands of videos coming out of the east coast so far so much so that snap chat has a special story dedicated to the storm and to those trying to wait her out take a look. the biggest concern. right. now are here. how. we've done. in the. city of st. hurricane florence where like
12:01 am
hurricane floyd let's get out of here where go in on a trip floors that's got our car on our way because we live in zone a. of our governor and what he. thinks coming out yeah thank you. for crazy. got the concept of marines to sleep ever are you ready for the hurricane you're ready. well you still have power if you're one of the lucky ones and if it safe to do so send us a video about what this storm is like for you how you're waiting it out all of our different handles there the best one perhaps twitter hash tag. there thank you for that we're going over to rob and tell we now at the video wall is going to take us through what happens next rob yes well andy gallo has already given you most of
12:02 am
what's coming up next if we can put the the radar picture up here when this thing came on shore and couple of hours ago it went to his wilmington it's still a pier really going a little bit slowly but science so he's taking half its energy from what was very warm water in the gulf stream goes quite close to here so it's picking up a lot of energy and it's been rains been story so far yeah we've had gusts of hundred fifty calories for us so getting them that's done some damage but as you might work out most of the trouble that comes from these cygnus overlay this the satellite picture not worth the trouble from hurricanes is the rain not so much the wind there are exceptions for example that was a windy hurricane but this is going to be a rain problem now thousand to his a meter of rain you know that much is likely to go on top of the tide in the next high tide is an hour and a quarter i think and of course you got the storm surge rain potential meeting somewhere over the lowland in science or north carolina probably science carolina and this thing is persistent as you already got it is moving very slowly so it
12:03 am
could spend the next two days sitting over south carolina raining continuously now the storm surges will die but that means the freshwater flooding is going to be a big prognosis i'm not learn to sing at the moment but you already know we've got the problem in the western pacific is the peak season a super typhoon with a huge eye and a very visible eyes on its way to the philippines that this is the equivalent and we measure these things by wind strength of a category foreign hurrican so winds around about three hundred kilometers they will be wind damage in this luckily in the northern philippines it's pretty mountainous. so once he does go across and he will go across in the next twenty four hours or less it will lose some of his panic about maybe a category three and then it goes across the south china sea probably towards the southwest to china it might just catch all go but we don't think so more of that in the days to come all right rob thank you for that just if you want to rob and i were measuring just before that video was about three and
12:04 am
a half meters high so when he talks about a two to four meter storm surge that's well above his head there super typhoon monkhood as rob was talking about let's have a look at that as well heavy rain strong winds started battering parts of the philippines ahead of its arrival as you saw rob showing thousands of people evacuated from coastal areas in luzon island as the storm gather strength expected to make landfall on saturday wind speeds of up to three hundred twenty five kilometers an hour one of the strongest snow actually the strongest of fifteen storms which have hit the philippines so far this year so let's get this from jamila island the latest in northern province. the government says that preparations are well underway for the more than five million filipinos expected to be affected by this size two and they come from agricultural communities they're farmers and fisherman who basically work in their own farms all across the region the von which is really the food basket of the country with spoken to farmers who
12:05 am
say they had to harvest whatever they could they went through a similar situation in two thousand and sixteen a less stronger typhoon and it took them years to recover residents of to be guilty more aware now they are more adaptable to. the possibility in fact that they think that we are all in form yet i just look at my mom's nervous we're very nervous because our house might get blown off again or lose everything that we have . we are one of the local community schools here that have been turned into an evacuation center for over one hundred families they were evacuated just a few hours ago and they are taking temporary shelter here most of them come from low lying villages and from communities near calgary and river with spoken to some of them who say that there are so family members who decided to stay behind to look
12:06 am
after their cattle and to look after their farmland basically they don't know how long they can see here but what they know at that they are still fine for now there's still a chance to see there's a running water there is so food but they the know for how long. and isn't it ironic because well you think about jamila they think about andy north carolina carolina telling us all about how people are being evacuated and yet they're the ones going straight in there to bring us the stories and they're both doing a fantastic job all at ames of course out there in the field now there's been a historic step forward in the increasingly close relations between north and south korea they have opened a joint liaison office that's what they're calling it it's in case soem north korea the first time that south korean officials have been permanently stationed in the north since the end of the korean war florence that he has the story. another step towards cooperation and perhaps business officials from north and south korea officially open an office in the border town of case all in north korea. from today
12:07 am
south and north korea and discuss issues regarding the improvement of israel relations peace and prosperity of the three in ten years some you know for twenty four hours and three hundred sixty five days we will meet face to face and to exchange ideas and solve difficult problems together. it's a first for the two countries who are technically still at war when the korean war ended sixty five years ago they signed an armistice but not a peace treaty and went into korean relations website and the west officials had to communicate using loud hailer across the border. named by opening the north south jointly as an office candidly discuss issues regarding into green relations and take necessary measures relations between the two countries have improved this year there was a historic summit between south korean president. and north korean leader kim jong
12:08 am
il and that led to another first a summit between a sitting u.s. president and a north korean leader which brought renewed optimism that north korea may dismantle its nuclear weapons program but things haven't quite progressed as hoped a recent report by the u.n. nuclear agency says north korea is still developing a new player obs last month u.s. president donald trump canceled secretary of state might pompei is visit to pyongyang at the last minute citing the lack of progress in denuclearization talks but south korea is still committed to improving ties with the north leaders from the two countries will meet next week and the white house has said it's open to holding a second summit with north korea and understanding perhaps that the best way to neutralize a nuclear threats from north korea is to keep the lines of communication open florence louis al-jazeera. when we told koreans we took pride in false to cause
12:09 am
a korea analyst and senior research fellow at leeds university joins us and skype from exeter nice to see you and what i really want to focus on is how much north and south korea are achieving on their own let's take donald trump let's take the united states out of it three face to face meetings and now a joint liaison officer is this moving faster than you expected. yes possibly sometimes ten to pessimism having been disappointed often before i mean the twenty year history of interpreting relations or you can take it back much further when they have to cater to the lot of ups and downs and we had a pretty lean decade for a while under conservative governments in the south and of course because the north under kim jong un had this massive program in two hundred sixteen and seventeen of nuclear missile tests but now south korea's got a pro sort of center left government which they were they've always wanted dialogue and engagement like the sunshine decade some people might remember at lunch in
12:10 am
ninety eight to two thousand and seven that a lot of what they've been doing me of the takes us back to the russians and medics it's good to see it like sports cooperation joint teams family reunions but some of it is new and yes the sly as well of this trip not have anything like that before and the pace of summits you know that we're just to have a seventeen year moon alone has had three and a start including the ones he's about to have so yeah i think things are going for them it's rather different from the u.s. north korea and it does is it showing that maybe they are best left to their own devices sorting out their own problems after how many years after the korean war finished sort all that out first and then move to the more international issues. that's the key question really is the sequencing and the constraints yet it's i think it's important to recognize you know the whole tragedy of korea's diversion seventy years ago and the there's a huge agenda that the two koreas have with each other by definition that goes beyond the stuff that the rest of us fixate on the stand that really like north
12:11 am
korea has nuclear threats and so on the trouble is that all the processes interact i mean because of the nuclear issue north korea is now hemmed about by very big sanctions which prohibit most forms of economic interruption that's a huge difference in the area sunshine era when the south koreans could pretty much do what they like economically that's going to be a big constraint moon would very much like to move forward with economic cooperation really linking roads and railways should stop but we already saw at the u.n. command in south korea that's a relic of the war in place in in washington blocking a south korean train from going across for a survey on the north star is getting down to one of the details level but so this it moon is a bit hemmed in the two koreas come from their own to do exactly as they please and then you have the trump factor which is something else again ok let's talk about the compact and we top not talk about it when we have where are things that that now really bearing in mind that they sort of signed the norm deal in singapore despite all the talk in the bluster is that is there any movement there. i think
12:12 am
it's so contradictory yes you're right i mean whereas the two koreas side of quite substantial looking at the parliament on declaration is saying they would do half a dozen things or say mostly done the right they say i mean the thing the bit for a liberal who says it which seems to continue you know the warm tweets that little trump produces about conduct that nonetheless advises pointing out you know a lack of progress and trumpeted as you as you said as was said in the package before he counseled as it by pump air sectors that player because of the lack of press i can't quite see where this is going but it looks like it's heading for another crash i hope he's gone but you know a a mismatch at least south korea basically is going to want some sanctions lifting i mean so china already is behaving beginning to behave again as if they want a sections boosting its economic cooperation with the middle sanscrit would like to get in the habit is more law abiding it has to be because of us as its ally will it get some relief but that train cross the border i don't see what shouldn't quite honestly it's a sovereignty if i would've thought all kinds of michigan he like that and who
12:13 am
knows what will wake up tomorrow morning and fail what if he thinks he's been i wrote a fifth of the consequences just look at his twitter feed and find out one way i didn't fosdike ali while talking korea with us thank you and it was a pleasure i think you very much the interactive team al-jazeera dot com handily put all our info graphics on the koreas in one place everything on they the two koreas history at a glance there it goes more into the north korean nuclear history and its testing of weapons the economy as well it is the full picture and most importantly easy to understand nice and simply laid out that the page is called north korea all you need to know explained in graphics you just have to search for north korea and click on the in for graphic filter on the left hand side it's here's what some of us saying on the korea's online as a propaganda example of peacemaking in a world with so many animosities and i want to message cheetos to all the koreans for the reunion thank you for your comments is plenty coming in about and the
12:14 am
a preview decision really about cameron. we know a lot of you look to us for coverage on tamarind so that's coming up a little bit later on do stay tuned but that's this is the news grid and for those of you watching on facebook bloody to find out why natural disasters in the u.s. are making the poor poorer but also the rich richer and imo that is southern brazil for global mazing on the future of all the whales some nations about him for protections others say whales should be hunted we'll explore the reason some countries say well our excellent. had others a hint that to the might be a few showers running into afghanistan set in the satellite picture you go outside in the general area it's not going to be wise for the have to say more significant shots been showing in turkey and just catching a funnel to syria as well but if anything they can stay near the black sea not

america seen on algis their. van. from al jazeera dot com and what's trending friday september fourteenth. read on
12:18 am
suspected chemical economic attacks linked in with everything happening in syria huge coverage on syria on our website the serious war type you can click on there more on hurricane florence as well. tropical storm isaac moving into the caribbean looks like we're going to be talking about storms for a few weeks yet that is what you can have a look at which are actually what you're reading at al-jazeera dot com this friday . tempers flared at a gathering of the international whaling commission in brazil a japan led proposal to lift a thirty two year ban on the commercial hunting of whales has been rejected by the global body for the conservation of the mammals a move backed by forty one members with twenty seven voting against two member states russia and south korea abstained monaco did not participate at all just a little background on this program in countries say the practice increases net ocean park typically it boosts fisheries it provides jobs it enables some groups to
12:19 am
keep their traditions or their ancestral lot stronger going to be talking about that more shortly countries include places like north learn north norway ice land and japan that japan alone killed up to one thousand two hundred whales every year since one thousand nine hundred six including young and pregnant animals despite the moratorium it gets around this summer a so-called scientific whaling permit which has been described as basically commercial whaling in disguise because some of the meat does end up the sale in the high class japanese restaurants so we're going to talk to a latin america editor to see a neumann she is in the brazilian city of floating in the hope of said that right with the conference is taking place let's see what happens next. and yes you're absolutely right that's a very good pronunciation floridian or police where people activists and conservationists in the world over have come here precisely to put pressure on the members of the international whaling commission to make sure that that ban remained
12:20 am
in effect and indeed it was a victory for conservationists but japan the big loser here at the end of the vote indicated that it might just withdraw altogether from the commission because it's been said that the members who are opposed to this had not to projected or had not proposed anything else as an alternative they seemed very very angry indeed so it remains of very very controversial and a very contentious issue joining me now to talk more about what just happened here is amy for. us from the new zealand whaling commission who new zealand of course being one of the countries which has been most keen on maintaining this ban in effect thank you for joining us amy. this this whole controversy about whether or not to lift the ban according to the japanese there is no reason in the longer to maintain it because they say that the stocks of whales
12:21 am
in the oceans are now beginning off that there's a more danger in the more of extinction and the it's time to say enough is enough and to have a sustainable way of of fishing or of harvesting whales what do you say to that i think for the government in new zealand who i'm representing here at this commission that we think the commission really needs to focus at the moment on conservation leadership there's so much we don't know about whale and dolphin populations and we think that a step back to commercial whaling would really be a step backwards for global conservation efforts but there are still is still a lot of whaling going on there are thousands of whales that are being killed anyway every single year under the guise of scientific research or even just fishing it does. in this commission really do enough to prevent that yet this commission is making great strides in reducing the number of whales and small cetaceans of what is by catch and that have been straight to fishing gear so this meeting we've adopted out comes on working with other organizations such as
12:22 am
fisheries organizations to reduce the deaths of whales and small cetaceans through fishing activities we've also taken steps forward in respect of strong opposition to japan so called scientific whaling in the southern ocean there's simply no need to kill whales in the name of science and japan's minister for whaling very angrily said after the vote that the countries like yours had not proposed to would turn it to anything else that basically the japan they were forcing japan to leave empty handed and possibly withdraw from the commission altogether which of course could have a devastating effect this has been an ongoing conversation in this commission for some time and we fully respect the right of any contracting partial to bring forward any for pozole at any time for discussion and what we've had at the station is a healthy and robust debate which has reflected the divergent views but at the end of the day is the vote today showed that there's still really strong support for
12:23 am
maintaining that global moratorium on commercial whaling in the lawyers and thank you very much for sharing your views with us well there you have it the commission remake of the conference continues they will be finishing very shortly this was again a big victory for some conservationists others say that it hasn't gone far enough back to you know of a thank you to see a new floater you know put us brazil and on skype now from i've got to get another proposition right here a cute radio i think it is right to loan a johnston or law professor at the university of arkansas and the university of green the specializes in polar law that looks at the governments of the arctic and antarctic so perfectly placed to talk about what's going on here i am interested to understand more about places. like norway the places where each are in favor of whaling. why do they continue to do it i guess is the broad question. thank you for inviting me so i sense additional waiting is not so much why should
12:24 am
they rant but but they would ask the question why should he not real and given that we've already heard is that the numbers of males are quite high now he says he said i said take which is that and i mean he well i said accepted the moratorium in one thousand nine hundred eighty on the basis that it was a moratorium that it was a temporary ban. in one thousand nine hundred two when it became apparent that it was not going to be a commercial. that at bat the fact to be a kind of permanent. i say less the recognition and rejoin the reading commission with a reservation in respect to the moratorium that means the ice and doesn't consider it thank you that moratorium so i sent waving it. is not commercial is not scientific training it doesn't use the scientific exception it is. the commercial whaling and then you come to this sort of and i think the definition of of phrases
12:25 am
that is interesting here a proposal of coexistence somewhere between commercial whaling and conservation is that possible. so i'm not entirely sure what's intended by craig's instance and in this context i know in a nice and you talk about court system between bill watching and pressure waning and i think what they're hoping for in the commission is coexistence of the two sides of what is a very heated political debate about whether real should be hunted or not need arises mind you it's not a conservation issue as his perspective was already given to your watchers that the numbers are are high of the rounds he takes a difference that they mean to us over the last two years i sense taking a few doesn't really hear. much higher than that if not fill the corner last year to take seventeen this year to only six and they start because of changes to their winning century nice that under domestic law of the fenway we didn't take any last
12:26 am
two years because it was impossible to get it to market and the market when we hit fenway japanese market but the numbers are of the crude are less than one percent of even the very lowest estimate and we'll start in the area in which is hunting and so i sense the dishes that you can still conserve while you having sustainable use just like we do with fishing for caught or mackerel or any other living worry that source doesn't see whales having specials that is this different from other other marine resources right you have had a question or a comment really from one of our viewers watching on facebook live has said iceland has been exempt or exempt itself because they have no other source of protein now i think that may have been the case maybe many years ago maybe not so much now but as a food source does it does it get exported from there ways where does the demand come from. so i sense that market for real meat is two fold to many what it is sold
12:27 am
domestically and about forty percent of that is still in simple markets in about sixty percent and in restaurants and that means that some people say that it's really for interest and history but that's not entirely true because a lot of ice under that will also eat really make you wait in a restaurant even if it wouldn't necessarily cook it for themselves so there is a strong domestic market and in fact we import make email from nor read because we're not taking enough to meet that demand in iceland if in real untied it is for export it's a japanese market i'm not into no way an instant market around restaurant menus and i sent jimmy haven't turned it very much so it's not it's not a good thing that i sent relies on this and will are making mail for its own protein and that would be true of indigenous way in northern communities and in the arctic for example and here in greenland to canada we're talking about indigenous training we're talking about not having those alternatives but iceland is a sub arctic climate so we have set of agriculture we have sheep horse cattle take
12:28 am
our search in produced and mystically as well as of course vegetable and ice and it's quite welcome in fact it was transporting feels important lot of food ok good to get your perspective directly from me to understand exactly what it is like in iceland right along the johnston thank you for your time. there was an interesting edition of witness on waiting for to the episode itself is no longer available you can read the filmmakers view which is really interesting on whaling in the faroe islands that's between norway and iceland they're they're used to hunting their own food and doing so sustainably. with the laws and waiting for the grey think of some of their traditions if you search for the archipelago in the program section it out to zero dot com you can have a read of that. now you'll be hearing a lot tomorrow saturday about the tenth anniversary of the global economic crisis temba fifteen two thousand and eight it was the day the one hundred fifty eight
12:29 am
year old investment bank lehman brothers collapsed biggest bankruptcy in u.s. history it was and it sent global markets into an absolute tailspin but as you will see today friday the day before the economy was already in all sorts of trouble here's a graph of the dow jones industrial average the benchmark stock market index in the united states we're covering two thousand and seven to two thousand and nine here now here in the crosshairs literally is the lehman brothers fall and you can see what happens after that and tomorrow we'll talk more about that i want to focus on some other points before that so going to mark in three points here and take you through them please forgive my hand rushing ahead of time the first one we're looking at is october of two thousand and seven now the market's at its peak there are about fourteen thousand points but by may of two thousand and eight already it is down a thousand points it's about thirteen thousand in what is that six seven months and then only two months later july two thousand and eight before the lehman's crash
12:30 am
it's down at eleven thousand one hundred so all of that trend which you're seeing from october two thousand and seven that is happening a year before the crash of lehman brothers now let's put all that market talk into real terms the u.s. economy in that time had already been recession for over eight months one point two million jobs in the last at the start of two thousand and eight then president george w. bush had already signed a one hundred sixty eight billion dollars stimulus package although that would be eclipsed by the almost seven hundred billion actually almost eight hundred billion a follow up the next year and then the housing market they've already been a thirty five percent fall in house prices since two thousand and six and remember the housing market is where the crisis began families pursuing the dream of homeownership falling victim to unscrupulous banks and predatory lending schemes rob reynolds has more now on how the subprime housing bubble hit millions from paris california ten years on. what was the why just before
12:31 am
the crash life was good for betty nikka nor her parents and her kids they'd recently bought a brand new house our house was just huge it was a really big house that had five bedrooms four bathrooms all of all of that it just seemed so perfect but the dream house proved to be a cruel illusion a salesman had convinced her father may nardo to sign an adjustable rate mortgage on a property worth seven hundred fifty thousand dollars but the family's income was only sixty thousand dollars a year in two thousand and eight and two thousand and nine the area's housing prices plummeted like they did nationwide and their home payments rose higher and higher unable to make the monthly payments they reached out to their bank and we tried to refinance they wouldn't help us three weeks later menard zero lost his job and the dream house was sold what was the home worth by the three thirty and you
12:32 am
bought it at seven hundred seventy thousand dollars yes and it was worth less than yes the family wound up nearly broke with their credit ruined. for three years i don't think this area of california riverside county was one of the hardest hit during the housing collapse and the recession it had the third highest rate of home foreclosures in the entire u.s. . fabian casa raises organization helps low income people with home ownership it was chaos here we were ground zero the market was just you know upside down here it was it was it was chaos it was total chaos and you know it took years to get out of it and i was there and i was still going to say that we're still in it the nikken orse struggled to get back on their feet my mom was the one who took it the hardest she went into depression you know my dad was just like broken into he was like you
12:33 am
know i can't believe this happened to was gloria nikken or suffered a series of strokes and heart attacks and earlier this year may nardo nick and nora was diagnosed with colon cancer he had surgery and has to wear a portable chemotherapy pump but he continues to work every day the nikken or save save some money and are now in the process of buying a modest house nearby a step toward security after a decade pain robert oulds al-jazeera parish california. is that it is an edition of people in power here for years after the crisis began focusing on those responsible because so many suffered but no one was held accountable for what was the deepest recession since the great depression that'll start rolling in any second now prosecuting wall street there it goes it's from people in power it's in the documentary section at al-jazeera dot com and some are saturday we have
12:34 am
broadening things out beyond the united states to europe i'm lawrence lee in berlin where ten years alter the financial crash the german economy continues to go from strength to strength but what cost to other european countries ok let's get an update now on our top story that is donald trump's former campaign manager paul man of forts apparently a plane agreeing to plead guilty to conspiracy and update now from patty calhoun who's been monitoring events in washington d.c. what more do you know right now patty. watch me refresh twitter just awaiting for president donald trump reaction paul man of ford is going to cooperate with the u.s. special account special counsel in the united states robert muller this is absolute earth shattering news when it comes to the moeller investigation let's go back and think about who paul metaphor is he is a lobbyist who had deep ties to the pro russian ukrainian government that's where all of these charges stem from he was also president trump's campaign chairman
12:35 am

12:38 am
with the government now the divide now has evolved to be more about identity and regaining national stability separatists in the north west and southwest want a country that they already call amazonia this here is the flag now several human rights groups and countries have accused both the armed separatists and the government forces of murder abduction abductions and destroying villages the government denies these claims we spoke to a man who calls himself a unionists he wants a united country but is also calling for president paul bia to resign. the war in iraq when regions of commerce is very serious. disappointed with president diaz how to have a situation this is totally unlike you which could have been avoided if the president be on this into office amending all of this we call for sincere political measures not a war and we call for started you caress we're fed tries we thought this would be

patty tell us more. i don't think i can overstate just what a critical development this paul man afford is the fifth trump associate to plead guilty to crimes and agree to cooperate with special counsel robert muller's office but this is paul man afore he was actually campaign chairman for the trunk campaign at a critical time now the president likes to dismiss his role in the campaign but he was there he was in that meeting between the president's son and son in law and a lawyer close to the kremlin where we are if they admit that they were offered dirt on hillary clinton then they said they didn't get any dirt well if that is that true paul metaphor would know if that is true and he's telling the special prosecutor what he knows in court they said he's already been telling us information that will likely continue for weeks if not months this is a huge development and of course we heard from the white house they said he had nothing to do with the twenty this is nothing to do with president trump and his

victorious election but we don't actually know that because the charges if you look at the document they stem up until and through the time man of four was working with the trunk campaign so we're waiting to see this one document seventeen pages basically laying out his cooperation what he's going to talk about who he's going to talk about he's still in court as soon as he's out we expect that should be filed and will be able to see exactly what's going on and also we're waiting to see if president donald trump tweets he was saying that metaphor it's a good man and this is a shame he didn't flip but he was brave probably not thinking that right about now right it's really just to clarify the document you're waiting for that could actually lay out precisely what he's likely to say. well it'll lay out probably the areas of which he's going to cooperate if it's if it's likely to be something to do with the campaign that it should be in there of course they could seal that document because it is an ongoing investigation i'll just have to wait and see but the fact that metaphor is cooperate with special counsel is absolutely
12:52 am
a huge bit of news he was the highest up in the admins in that campaign to meet with the special prosecutor to give those details and it's very important to point out that he made a deal where he's losing four of his multimillion dollar houses a whole bunch of bank accounts a life insurance policy he's giving that up to the government and exchange he's hoping for a lesser sentence so you know if he wants a lesser sentence and the prosecution made this very clear they're going to wait and see how much he cooperates how valuable this information is so he now has an incentive to tell them everything he knows all right so it will big development patty thanks very much indeed for that so we'll be speaking to you is the evening goes on there in the united states. now at least three protesters including a fourteen year old boy have been shot dead by israeli fire during friday protest near gaza's border with israel the health ministry in gaza says dozens of others

eighteen population id need of humanitarian assistance they face the threat of food shortages displacement and acute lack of access to basic social services hutu rebels have posted video which they say shows an ambush on government fighters in the saudi amorality led coalition near her data so the reports say hooters have been fleeing the battlefield the rebels deny that is a warning that food could come under attack on the pretext of coalition claims that weapons are stored there whatever the truth in this war the attempts to bring calm and some hope of dialogue still rests heavily on the shoulders of the u.n. special envoy martin griffiths he met the hutu delegation that should have been in geneva last week in the yemeni capital muscat on thursday it appears martin griffiths isn't giving up on his attempts to try to build confidence as he describes it between the two sides but they don't appear to want to give up the
12:56 am
fighting now mr griffiths has had talks with the rebels in amman they say those meetings ended up with no agreement whatsoever he plans to come to start with what will take place remains to be seen but he will end his trip in the saudi capital riyadh but time is ticking on this whole process he knows that under a summons al-jazeera djibouti. or take a look at this killing sixteen is the main highway heading east out of the port city of the data and it's easy to see why it has such strategic importance as it's the start of the road supply route from yemen's main port see the capital city sana one hundred forty kilometers to the northeast well amanda bryden from save the children says kilo sixteen is a critic is critical for humanitarian aid. the port is a lifeline for the rest of the country say over eighty percent of the country's
12:57 am
commercial imports are coming through this country through this port sorry and what we're seeing with the fighting is the critical junction at sixteen is the artery towards santa and other parts of the country and so really this is a situation of life and death for yemeni children and their family they can't access their food feel limited supplies though the huge numbers are critically at risk and so coming so for us what we're seeing is that. four hundred thousand children are at risk of severe acute malnutrition so the most severe form of my interest in by the end of the year if we see this lifeline cut off anti-government demonstrations are being held across syria one is in hama rebel positions have been targeted by government strikes the other is in neighboring italy problems the last remaining rebel stronghold in the country and the
12:58 am
protesters are angry at the government's plan to launch a massive military offensive to retake the territory united nations has repeatedly warned against the military assault saying it could unleash a humanitarian crisis unseeing throughout syria's seven and a half year war more than three million people remain trapped and most of them civilians displaced by conflict in other parts of the country. this is what they protest like in hama hundreds of people have gathered to condemn the continued shelling by government forces the u.n. estimates nearly forty thousand people have already fled the area as that strikes intensified over the past two weeks stephanie decker is live now in antakya near the turkish syrian border and they've also been significant protests in newman can you tell us about those. yeah there's been quite a few activists saying over one hundred different locations but certainly made it to. the biggest that is just south in the south of the province further north of
12:59 am
where those airstrikes took place a couple of days ago but certainly crowds that we haven't seen in years in the province next people calling for a stop to the military offensive people saying that they do not want to live under this government that they've sacrificed so much to try to remove but of course the reality is that damascus has made it very clear that it is going to take it back it's interesting that we're seeing this i mean people seem to have lost their fear of course you have definitely very values different rebel groups in charge in the province and i think people are feeling that they really have nothing left to lose many people also don't agree with who is in charge of the now they're stuck between a rock and a hard place it seems they don't want president bashar al assad they're not exactly supportive of the groups that control them in the province and also they have they don't see a future of where they can go if this offensive takes place a very difficult scenario for them but certainly it seems for the first time in
1:00 am
a very long time they have seemed to really have to found resurface the voices of the people the reminder of the scenes that we saw the beginning of the war but maybe significant progress not likely to hold by the syrian government so all the russian outlines of the. absolutely i mean this is the bottom line isn't it that the people have never really had to say about the course of this war and yes i mean these scenes exactly reminiscent people saying that nothing is changing the message is the same but nick so much is change as we all know for seven years of this war millions displaced a hundred thousands people killed a country you know leveled homes and cities and arguably the social fabric of syria destroyed and yes province is the last down the last hope when it comes to the opposition movement and people will tell you one man actually said to us recently you know it libya's are damascus and if the government takes it back it means that our revolution is over and it's.
