the un's yemen envoy lands in the capital sanaa for talks with the rebels as strikes by the saudi led coalition intensifying. again i'm adrian forgetting this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up a storm surge sends huge waves into hong kong as the city is forced into shutdown by typhoon month course at least forty nine people have died in the philippines after the typhoon wrecked homes and cut off many towns. they call themselves.

they lived in this neighborhood for centuries and now they say dorothy's want to throw them out on the fashion popular reporting from. the u.s. envoy to yemen has landed in the capital sanaa to meet with the leadership mohsin griffiths was flown there after last week's talks in geneva had failed before they'd even begun griffiths held three days of meetings with a yemeni government delegation but the who didn't show up they accused the saudi led coalition of blocking them from traveling to the peace talks griffiths arrives as a new wave of airstrikes have been launched targeting a key highway in the data province let's go live to djibouti just across the red sea from yemen andrew symonds is covering events in yemen from andrew. let's begin with this this offensive in the data is it fair to say that it is at its heaviest

point well. it would be a fair comment because of all the multiple reports of course we don't have new neutral observers on the ground but multiple reports of fighting on a grand scale on a really bad scale there are so many airstrikes going on there were thirty five within a matter of hours on sunday morning and there has been sacked on the radio station we're told by huth is that four people died three of them security staff trying to keep order around the area and inside one member of staff now military sources on the coalition side say that there were three deaths and they were who's the fighters this is a situation where it would seem the saudi u.a.e. led coalition is targeting strategic points it would seem along killer sixteen and ground forces government forces yemeni government forces part of that coalition are

attacking on the ground but there are disputes about who controls what part of this road it may not be over but the overall objective of the coalition is to surround completely who data they've already got a partial sea blockade on the port but they want the airport under their control they want to cut off supply lines to sana'a the capital and the cost of course the actual result of that cut in supplies will be an even worse situation in the way that people are trying to survive humanitarian crisis that gets worse by the day anyone trying to bring peace to yemen may not need reminding of what's at stake nevertheless those without a voice of influence a crying out loud to him. one hundred sixty kilometers from her data they try to keep babies alive malnutrition could potentially soon be the biggest killer in

this conflict. nearby families are eating wild vine leaves to survive. or not we cook tree leaves we have no nutrition we will die here we have no one but god. personally i don't you believe but since my salary has been cut it's only mean mean for my children even though these cars into each of us in drowsiness but what can we do. in her data the fighting has taken another quantum leap as saudi led coalition forces and government troops on the ground continue their campaign to cut all supply lines from the red sea port the saudis are accusing who the fighters of opening fire on grain silos in order to claim it was the coalition that's responsible whoever did watch the un pressure to stop the fighting has never been greater the u.n. special envoy martin growth this is now in the capital center for talks with the

the leadership what may help him is a memorandum of understanding signed by the un which gives safe passage by for injured who's these needing medical treatment it's reported they'll go to cairo in egypt but is this enough to get dialogue going even though the number of civilian deaths is still rising there is a coalition diplomatic initiative trying to convince the u.n. that her data has to be taken for the huth is to be pressurized to talk of peace this conflict is now a lethal mix a very ng motivation for diplomacy fighting and suffering no one would predict the outcome. try to picking up on what you are saying is there any way of telling if if this martin griffiths mission to somehow to revive the efforts to get some sort of dialogue going has any more chance now. well

these youngster that is only muslim group is knows on a serious basis no one would really predict what could happen however that's a look at what's the stack of hope right now it's limited because of the weak infighting that we've seen. that break up break up all the any hope to get the huth is to geneva the reasons for that still totally unclear really because they say that they were trying to get clearance clearance safe clearance to get injured people out of the urgent medical treatment however the saudi u.n. a coalition insist on the yemeni government goes along with this that the only thing that can bring the whole. effort to get peace to the table is for them to take the data because that would put such pressure on the who say it's now whether or not mr griffiths obviously would accept that because he was warning about

a massive humanitarian crisis with an economy that's on its knees being made so much worse if supply lines were cut however it does seem to be a military tactic the question that we have to answer somehow is whether or not that military tactic is in trying to the political and diplomatic effort if that's the case then you can really summarize differently perhaps on the goings on of the past ten days or so because that could have been the subtext to the way the diplomats were working in the sense of trying to put pressure on the who thing is trying to put pressure on the who these and then finding that they try to try to resist and then end up not going to geneva. the answer really is one of speculation to be honest but really the situation is that is never been more urgent the situation with yemen has never been more crucial to get some sort of formula to get

the sides talking not it necessary in the same room not necessarily around the same table but to get talking to this and trying to find a way to stop the fighting or even a cease fire would be helpful. and really thanks anderson is there live in djibouti . typhoon man could switch has left forty nine people dead in the philippines is now threatening southern china more than two million people in guangdong province have been moved from their homes as the storm begins to his around fifty thousand fishing boats opin recalled to port many people have flocked to supermarkets to stock up on groceries as the storm approached winds of up to one hundred sixty kilometers an hour terentia will rain forecast to last throughout sunday night early as the storm pushed huge waves into hong kong and brought the city to a standstill the territory was put on the highest alert level for only the fourth time in twenty years wind blew down cranes and shattered windows in many high rise

central parts of the city. these waterfront hotels were flooded as wives pounded the coastline the only movement on the harbor was this ship adrift all schools will be closed on monday the typhoon is now headed towards mainland china the province directly in its path. al-jazeera hong kong in the philippines weaken slightly after making landfall on the largest island of luzon in the early hours of saturday but left a trail of destruction of the northern province of car guy on. take food arrived just as predicted vicious force pounding over most of north. the early hours so power and phone lines cut off city in. 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 typhoon spirit marine commanders say many people here lost their homes significant. property and with crops in the power lines. we expect that the hike would 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. 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 our will. but from past experience. it's never enough they barely had much space for the thai food and now they have less. of the

province north. south korea's president is preparing preparing for the first summit with north korea's leader kim jong un since his singapore meeting with donald trump will be accompanied to pyongyang by the c.e.o.'s of the leading south korean companies moon is looking for closer economic ties with north korea despite sanctions over its nuclear program. bride reports from seoul. now the big issue of course adrian is the whole question of did you clear eyes ation and just how committed north korea are to that process but as far as a south korean officials are concerned they seem convinced by the sincerity of north korea kim jong un they said even last week in negotiations with south korean officials seem to accept that he has to give up his nuclear arsenal during president trump's first term in office which would seem to suggest within a time span of two years and the south korean officials believe that he's sincere

about that it does seem to be a big ask given the extent of their development of their of their nuclear and missile programs but we have seen many twists and turns in this diplomatic dance that has taken place this year that nobody can rule out just what might happen in the coming few days and what this delegation might bring back from pyongyang a weather update next here on al-jazeera then more than six million people in south sudan desperate for food will tell you why. trying to save a centuries old language for the next generation in malaysia. hello again it's good to have you back well typhoon man could has made landfall here just to the west of hong kong notice the size of the storm here on satellite

how huge it is what we're still going to be dealing with this over the next several days because it is going to drop from a typhoon down to a tropical storm but the rain is can extend well into parts of china and that means we are going to be seeing flooding across much of the area so do not be deceived by a typhoon going to a tropical storm it can still be very very deadly and still cause a lot of flooding across the region and that is really dealing with here on monday as we go towards tuesday a lot of that moisture pushes over here towards the west notice the rain continues along the coast so hong kong you are still going to be dealing with very very messy situation very windy conditions as well up torching high we do expect to see a temperature there of about thirty two degrees over here towards india well not too bad over here towards the west but we are still seeing some rain showers anywhere from the east down towards the south china rain for you in maybe partly cloudy conditions at times we do think maybe thirty four degrees there up towards katmandu though and nepal we are looking at better conditions you seeing temperatures really staying into the mid to high twenty's up towards new delhi

though plenty of sunshine and your forecast we do see back to see thirty five degrees in crutches at twenty nine. and instantly shifting news cycle we receive in change in america tweet the listening post take sports and questions the world's need will be double will be of the details the kind that cannot be conveyed in two hundred eighty characters or fewer exposing how the press operates it is their language of their culture it's their context and why certain stories take precedence while others are ignored we can have a better understanding of how news is created we're going to have a better understanding of what the news is than listening post on al-jazeera.
