a storm surge sends huge waves into hong kong as the city shut down by typhoon man called. hello and welcome i'm peter dhabi you're watching al-jazeera live from doha also ahead the death toll expected to rise and many lives to rebuild in the philippines after the typhoon wrecks homes and leaves many towns cut off. a deadlock is broken and iraq says parliament finally elects a new speaker. also ahead on safe living conditions mean one of europe's biggest refugee camps could be shut down by the greek or thora trees.

but first this half hour will begin with the news coming to us out of yemen where the rebels are reporting more than thirty five airstrikes in which data provinces early on sunday morning the saudi em iraqi coalition strikes have been targeting what's known as kilo sixteen the highway heading east out of the red sea port is one of the main supply routes to the capital sana'a which is held by the hoofy rebels under simmons as our correspondent covering the conflict from djibouti and just get us right up to date what's been going on. well a number of attacks more than thirty five that information is a few hours old now so one could guarantee that is increased both sides the is the saudi u.a.e. a u.a.e. led coalition are reporting that there has been an increase in this offensive

around the red sea port of the data we know we are told by both sides that a radio station has been hit the who thing is reporting that four civilians have been killed at that radio station in her data the saudi media are saying that this was an attack on a military installation in the radio station we can't verify any of these reports because there is no neutral observers on the ground now aside from this there has been a stepping up right away along the lines of government forces on the ground attacking and trying to take the hold of kilo sixteen that is the main highway between the rebel held capital soon as santa and data which is the red sea port that is a crucial supply line we've said before that this is a red light for humanitarian agencies the united nations itself they believe that this will signal an even bigger crisis on the way in terms of malnutrition because

food supplies will be getting through and also all across the range of medical supplies and indeed food the other aspect of this is that the united nations is still hoping despite all of this fighting that there can be some developments on the attempt to get talks going in geneva or anywhere else for that matter and of course we now have at least got on day signing a memorandum of understanding with the who these peter is the future of. that key to resolving the conflict one way or another because depending upon who's fighting over who dated they would pitch it as it has fallen to our sport it's been liberated by us. well that is a very intelligent question because the point is this that we've heard from the

u.a.e. u.a.e. side quite categorically we've been campaigning with the united nations to say we must take her data and now we must finish it who data this is hundreds of thousands of civilians in this city by the way we must take her data to force the who theses to the negotiation table now beyond that we have a separate dynamic we have martin griffiths the u.n. special envoy on his way it would appear to santa itself to get first hand information on the ground but proceeding that he was in may still be in because there's no public announcement of his movements right now not surprisingly and he has been talking in oman in muscat the capital with the hooty delegation that was supposed to be in geneva and the result of that was what i alluded to earlier that peace agreement or not peace agreement that agreement that memorandum of understanding which will allow the number of people will show whether their

fighters will civilians that's probably the former to be transported for medical treatment urgent medical treatment we understand to cairo in egypt not amman as was demanded an issue lee by the who thing is when they were putting preconditions down ahead of the geneva talks a lot to take in here but the bottom line is no one can guarantee that this is a breakthrough for the simple reason that a lot of fighting has happened in the past week an immense amount of fighting an unknown number of dead an unknown number of injured and an unknown future really in terms of supply lines and we have the world food program warning that their grain silos in the red sea port are under threat and there was already some damage where we hear but this is not been verified and the u.n. itself has been warning that millions of people. pend on that supply of food over the coming months now all of it is escalation political escalation attempt to try

and get some level of sense into the situation because when you hear from civilians in directly sadly they are in a situation now that is worse than ever peter and thank you. the storm has already left twenty five people dead in the philippines is now pushing huge waves into hong kong the city is in a state of complete shutdown with the highest alert level in place that's a typhoon ten signal typhoon has blown down cranes and shattered windows in high rise buildings across the city many main roads have been blocked as dozens of trees have fallen with winds of up to two hundred ten kilometers an hour businesses are closed and all public transport has been shut down media thousand flights from the airport have either been delayed or canceled in nearby macau the government there has for the first time shut down all their casinos due to the extreme weather the former portuguese colony also issued its highest storm alert officials have come

under heavy condemnation on how they handled another signal ten typhoon last year which left widespread damage and killed twelve people sarah clarke has the latest now from central hong kong. hong kong the still feeling the brunt of this typhoon it's still a team to win which is the most powerful harken signal on the right and that t. ten is expected to stay in force until this evening now it's been one of most destructive typhoons ever in hong kong in more than a decade we did have one last year but nothing like this some of the damage that we've already witnessed we've had roofs torn off buildings collapse we've had hundreds of people evacuated waterfront hotels have been inundated not just one and number of them so thousands of people have been displaced as a result of this. experience in a witnessing huge swells across victoria harbor normally a very busy day today all we've seen is one ship that's a drift of course when that does hit something it's going to cause more damage so

certainly this typhoon it continues to turn is still in place and it's worked having across the whole extensive took course extensive damage across the whole of hong kong at this stage we believe it's now past the storm has passed hong kong and it's perfect towards milan china they'll be hoping it wakens by the time it hits the mainland simply to avoid the damage that hong kong has witnessed today. across the sea in the philippines at least twenty five people were killed by the same weather system on course we can see after it made landfall on the largest island in the early hours of saturday which left a trail of destruction in the northern province of germany is there. a food arrived just as predicted vicious force pounding over most of the north through saw in the early hours so power and phone lines cut off city in the province. incessant rains and strong winds crippled many of the operations planned

by emergency teams. but the destruction here is nothing compared to what we saw when we ventured out of the city. throughout rural communities we saw homes and farmland destroyed access into these remote areas is difficult which means eight may be slow to arrive to. like so many places here the town of bugout bore the brunt of the thai food sphere marine commanders say many people here lost their homes significant. property and with crops in the power lines so. that the high point can be over soon people here tell us they were aware of the forced evacuation order by the government but following it is easier said than done that is because often their homes and their livelihoods are just in one place and this is all what they've got

these are their lives possessions they went through something similar already two years ago a super typhoon hit their community and they've barely recovered julio salah says her small cafeteria was your only means to support your family now it's gone and. it really hurts us we don't know where it's back and everything happened so fast and now my business is gone the destruction is similar all across luzon the largest island in the philippines the majority of typhoon victims are from small farming communities the impact has yet to be fully assessed and the cost counted. the philippine government says efforts to help are well and do but from past experience filipinos know it's never enough they barely had much space for the typhoon now they have even less. al-jazeera out

of the province north. of the middle east iraqis may finally be getting a working parliament m.p.'s elected a new speaker on saturday ending months of political deadlock but concern is growing the control of iraq's politics may be swinging towards pro iranian parties matheson from baghdad. after months of political deadlock since the last election iraq's parliament may be growing into gear m.p.'s have finally elected a new speaker of the house he's mohamad a sunni muslim with strong support from the parliament's pro around the shia coalition. we need to unify our efforts some members of parliament can reach political consensus and choose our government capable of facing the serious security and economic challenges ahead other posts are expected to be filled soon including the president who will be kurdish according to political tradition he

will ask the leader of the biggest parliamentary bloc to be prime minister and to form a cabinet there are three main blocs to choose from the pro iran shia coalition headed by former prime minister nouri al maliki and. who's head of the fetter bloc the umbrella body for shia armed fighters the pro-u.s. bloc of prime minister hyderabadi and the iraqi nationalist bloc led by the influential shia cleric. he won a majority in the may elections but the result wasn't accepted by the rest of the parties there are two countries who are going to be very interested in what happens in iraq iran and the united states it's well known that iran has a lot of influence in iraq's politics and in its daily life. but in recent days there's been a backlash against the level of influence the u.s. has supported by mr hyde because he is in his turn pro united states but also because the u.s. sees him as a moderate the can pull together

a fractious iraqi government. if however high that all about it loses his power within the iraqi government it may come that the u.s. two loses its influence in iraq. and the government riots recently in basra were directed at politicians including prime minister buddy protesters in the oil rich south blamed political corruption and negligence for failing to provide jobs as well as the collapse of the water and electricity supply lines. the offices of local shia armed groups backed by iran were set on fire. iran has been pushing for a consensus to choose the speaker and his two deputies that would guarantee its interests in iraq the u.s. wants an independent iraqi government and a stable political process away from iran's influence there is an apparent conflict of interests between iran and the u.s. over iraq's political future iraq's political problems are far from over but the
