12:01 am
our schools whose first goals in its least shortly after three goalless games for your own sense were schools torn and it's. a very warm welcome to the news our fighting in yemen data province has intensified with the who sees it reporting more than thirty five airstrikes by the saudi and marotta coalition in the past twenty four hours they're targeting a main highway as have the port city which is a key supply route to the rebel held capital of sana coalition strikes are also hitting the north of the country several children were killed in an attack on saturday under simmons has been following the story from nearby djibouti and a warning you may find some of the images in his report disturbing. my.
12:02 am
it's an airstrike by the saudi u.a.e. led coalition. whatever the target may have been this is the result civilians searching for missing children it isn't a rescue they find one dead child. i mean i know where i am what's his guilt why is he being killed says one of the men who rarely are rescued the child's mother the father wasn't in his home when the bomb hit the girl's name is mood cedar she's carried away by one of the helpers he knows it doesn't end here. and the evidence from. the searching continues and some moods brother neville has recovered and i was feeling that was what everyone had dreaded to do the children didn't. they're very proud of us are these are civilians the little kids are the only words this man can manage it happened on saturday in
12:03 am
modern man inside a province which shares a border with saudi arabia these people are internally displaced having fled the fighting yemen's turmoil is a lethal mix of the tactics of warfare the tactics of diplomacy from negotiations that could be a touch with that and a humanitarian crisis the fighting isn't just on the battlefield the suffering goes right across yemen but it's getting worse. in the stillness of a remote village and how just province they're eating the leaves of trees to survive they're cooked and mashed into a paste and. i personally i don't you believe this is my cellar has been cut it's a main meal for my children even though this is causing them each of us and drowsiness why what can we do. we cook tree leaves we have no nutrition we will die here we have no one but god this is the nearest medical center to the village
12:04 am
where they had to resort to eating leaves no nutrition could end up being the biggest killer in this conflict 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 for help now more than ever before. well the u.n. envoy to yemen martin griffiths has spent the day holding talks with the rebel leaders in the capital sana and andrew sent us this update. margaret is has a major job on his hands trying to convince the warring sides that now is the time to actually start talking about dialogue when there's been more than a week of really heavy fighting in the wake of those talks in geneva that never got off the ground the fighting obviously is most intense in the red sea ports in which
12:05 am
cruises are trying to defend they say the huth is that they are repelled in some places. from these. to get control of the supply line to the capital so. the sixteenth is the biggest major focal point of the fighting but also further towards the port city in other points and there is a point such as kilo seven kilo ten there are also battles going on it certainly doesn't seem to be the case that things are at a point when you can say that this supply line is actually cut but certainly the coalition is putting every effort into trying to get full control of this area and control of the port city ahead of any possible dialogue with seem they are insisting that there has to be
12:06 am
a success in taking her data to force as they say the who thing is to talks offer more in the middle east analyst. joins us live from washington d.c. sort of a warm welcome to the program any signs at this stage that the or the are in ready to engage in any sort of meaningful dialogue. absolutely we have seen that the u.n. special envoy. for yemen martin griffin has been engaging in the shuttle diplomacy over the past week last week he was in moscow for talks with the omani leadership where the part of the who think delegation that would represent the who to government for peace talks are located and they who chief negotiator. mohammed abdul saleh him located there he has also been in the regular contact with u.s. diplomats who are pushing behind the scenes to ensure the peace process on the u.n.
12:07 am
supervision is moving forward what about these reports of airstrikes and ever closer to home data what can we read from from reports of those. what we saw just last week was that the united states government spearheaded by secretary of state mike brown pale and certified the united arab emirates and saudi arabia are meeting. the required steps to ensure that civilian casualties are not increasing or and that they are being dealt with was a compromise most likely what the american congress was pushing and increasing pressure on the administration to ensure a political solution is moving forward for yemen and that message has also been received in dhabi and in riyadh so all the indications are clear the
12:08 am
united states wants this war to end the united states is engaging with the leadership through the mediation and helping accelerate the u.n. peace process for yemen i suppose one of the big difficulties here secret is of course they want to expedite a solution to help the humanitarian side of things but all of this they want to step carefully and potentially will need to do that slowly in order to get some sort of political compromise or a. absolutely some of the talks that are under way to establish a transitional government and what we have also seen this that the united states as essentially without naming the word red line but has essentially for all practical purposes declared that taking the a red sea port of who are they would be a red line not just for the united states but for the international community. precisely so that humanitarian supplies can continue to enter into yemen so i think
12:09 am
that all everything considered including as you reported in your segment that the u.n. envoy was today and sana for talks with the who is the foreign minister these are all signs that things are finally coming together of course it's a treacherous process and there are many variables to it so we don't quite know how it will play out but all the signs that the united states is supporting in a peace process are there at the see good what about what about the denial dynamic with oh man here and of course these reports from the hooty the who the leadership and all men saying that they've actually been prevented from leaving the country. oman is say trust a party of both for saudi arabia and forty united states and even for iran so it is in a unique position to help spearhead a political process and support the u.n. in this regard what we have seen there who things have demanded that some of their
12:10 am
voted fighter should receive medical treatments either in oman or in europe we also know that oman has provided. medical treatment to fighters fighting to who the so this is a humanitarian gesture from oman to all of yemen citizens regardless of their political affiliations so oman is a really a trusted broker there and that is. regarded as such both by the u.n. by the united states including. by saudi arabia so so there are duress a lot of momentum there. sigurd new buyer there joining me from washington d.c. star thanks very much for joining us thank you well the two million people have been forced to evacuate as typhoon mungo tears through china's wind province at least two people have been killed in the storm nearly fifty thousand fishing boats have been called back to port as part of an effort to minimize damage the typhoon is carrying winds of two hundred kilometers per hour

evacuation centers are also damaged. we drove further to reach the town of get around this is what's left of cornfields here a few hours of a thai food took a year of their earnings. for farmers here. with a battered much of northern and so on leaving a trail of tift and destruction. across the gun power and communication lines have been destroyed leaving many farming communities isolated after several hours we reached the town. he took two years and. then to build just the frame of their home but it's all gone in an instant and again it hurts us to see this to recover what we lost we have to make painful sacrifices again indigenous comanches
12:15 am
like this one have been living in abject poverty for generations and they are held back even further by natural disasters that is because the government assistance they need to start over is barely enough. farming is their livelihood now they don't know how the can survive their story is one that's repeated a hundred times in wars. the damage into province is extensive. what we've just seen so far is just a fraction of the devastation. has caused the full extent. in the coming. in al-jazeera the province northern philippines. where coming up on this news hour the worst is yet to come residents in the u.s. state of north carolina are warned about the flooding threat posed by storm florence. sick and starving really report on the plight of the tens of thousands of
12:16 am
side sidney's children suffering from malnutrition. and in sport we'll hear from the kenyan running great who set a new world record at the berlin marathon. well the u.s. has ordered the palestinian mission in washington d.c. to close the bank accounts of vacate their offices within a month it has also revoked the visas of the family of the head of the p.l.o. delegation to the u.s. was comes a week after the trump administration and i was the closure of the palestinian liberation organization office in washington d.c. palestinian leaders have called the move indictive and cruel well for more on this that speak to mohammed away say he's a palestinian american political analyst and he joins me live from washington d.c. sort of a warm welcome to the program what do these latest moves tell us about the current
12:17 am
u.s. strategy. you a strategy if you put your strategy after donald trump became president that means nothing because this president does have any strategy he became the mouthpiece for occupation so what he's doing he's just putting the last cough and it chance for peace in the middle east and by kicking out the two children of the p.l.o. representative to washington he added them to the hundreds of thousands of palestinian children who depend on the honor the united nations work and the relief agency that helps of palestinian children the schools and health care for the palestinians this president has put himself in the camp of israelis one hundred percent and all the actions unilateral actions he's taking he's taking against the palestinians and for occupation and for ending any chance of one sit solution or two sit solution in
12:18 am
the middle east mohamed i want to read to you a comment i saw regarding this story on line and i want to get your view this and it said by insulting the most moderate palestinian faction trumpets open doors to the radicals and i just wonder where you think this could potentially lead. let me say first of all there is no radical or not radical or moderate palestinian we all are patient or we are all refugees outside palestine we want a solution we want the solution like we agreed in two thousand nine hundred ninety three the also accord there was an agreement to reach an agreement within five years now we are twenty five years and three days after that agreement was signed and we are we have lost more land more lives and gaza with two million people are
12:19 am
being. punished for being palestinian and now he is punishing the palestinian the refuses so you cannot put us into categories of this is violent palestinian or this is a mother of pearl a city and or this is. palestinian or sugar free palestinian we all are for since we all are asking for the right of return for independence from occupation and our land back if they do not want to talk about along these lines there is nothing to talk about let me say there's something here that many people maybe people they are not going to like what they say i think with doing all these things against the palestinian people it's very good for us because if the palestinians accept to come and talk to the israelis talk to the people the settlers i call them the settlers that his son in law and. his representative to the peace process if we talk to them if anybody in the palestinian talks so then that means we are
12:20 am
capitulating and giving in to israel's demands and the american demands by dissolving the policy then issue without giving the palestinians and the land or dignity or identity or anything they want to dissolve the issue without solving the core of the issue which is occupation that started in one thousand nine hundred eight so i think what is happening now it's good for us let's wait maybe america will vote for another president who will come back and bring real peace to the middle east or otherwise let it stay like that mohammad away said joining me live from washington d.c. sir thank you. thank you now the woman accusing thomas u.s. supreme court nominee of sexual assault has come forward christine ford has given interview to the washington post she says that brett kavanaugh assaulted her in one thousand nine hundred eighty two when they were teenagers ford says the common i'll pin her to a bed and try to remove her clothes whilst at

a party he though has denied any wrongdoing white house says is still standing with judge cowen us. the death toll from storm florence in the united states has risen to fifteen with residents of carolina's being warned the worst is yet to come bronze made landfall as a hurricane on friday before downgrading to a tropical depression overnight catastrophic flooding has spread across north and south carolina on sunday swamping entire neighborhoods fall several reverse are all projected to burst their banks hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses also been left with power. we're doing as much as you can as an organization but now we need to participate in a bubble and so we are impressing upon them not to be complacent not a thing to the worst is behind is in fact the worst is in front of us we're seeing roads in downtown areas float away and all of those tributaries imprints feed into the river so we have a problem so we're hoping for the best but prepare for the worst and we and we sit in a strong message to people if you decide to stay and not by about
12:22 am
a mandatory evacuation order by three pm today will not be available to you and so we encourage you to do things like notify legal next of kin and let people know what your choices are. christians let me joins us live from fayetteville north carolina hi there kristen so just times serious is the situation where you are right now. with julie it remains incredibly serious even though the rain has let up in the last hour giving everyone a little bit of a sense of relief the rivers continue to rise and that's what people are concerned about flash flooding mudslides going forward the mayor was talking about roads being washed away and if you take a look behind me you see exactly what he was worried about we are in downtown fayetteville a tributary of the cape fear river has overflowed its banks and is washing right through the town and just take a look at how quickly that water is moving that's a real risk for people whether they're walking or in their vehicles there have been
12:23 am
fifteen deaths attributed to this storm so far at least five of them have been related to the it to people being in their cars either being washed away by flash flooding or crashing into trees or other things as a result of the severe conditions and that's why officials are advising people to stay inside they've also called for evacuations mandatory evacuations along the cape fear river and the little river that affects some couple thousand people and that's because the river just simply has not reached its peak yet there have been nine hundred rescues statewide so far some of them by boat some of them by helicopter but we just heard what the mayor was saying if you live in one of those mandatory evacuation zones and you didn't get out when the flooding is really bad you're not going to be able to count on rescue workers to get in there and help you you're on your own they're warning people not to be complacent and christian what
12:24 am
is the damage how much damage has already been done. very rough estimates at this point. the governor of north carolina roy cooper said that they put it in the tens of thousands in terms of damage to homes and buildings and the like whether it's you know roofs being blown away doors being blown away flooding and so on really hard to say right now but this is going to be a very expensive and very costly storm a lot of the people whose homes have been damaged haven't even been able to go back and take a look yet we've got about fifteen thousand people staying in shelters about one hundred fifty shelters here in north carolina that are open now and. many more people of course staying with family going to hotels and things like that seven hundred thousand people in the state at last count without power and again the rivers are going to keep rising the rain may be tapering off in places like this
12:25 am
but elsewhere it's continuing to fall it's continuing to feed those rivers the rivers are just picking up steam and taking everything away in its path we were on the banks of the cape fear river earlier and it was still a long way to go before the river reached a nearby building and people told us who had lived there that you know that building had been underwater in a storm two years ago and this storm is forecast to be much worse than that one my point being. as the governor has said as the mare has said the worst is yet to come and people here are not out of the woods yet kristen looming there live from fayetteville and kristen thank you. well it's much more to come on the news hour including a latin america struggles with its worst migration crisis in decades we meet the peruvian businessmen setting up shell says to help venezuelans feed the chaos back

cape town's water running out city all sorts you see people should use no more than fifty liters of time water per person per day. about a third of the city's residents live in informal settlements like this one and only consume about four percent of the water for generations they've already been collecting it through communal taps all sources say the city will reach day zero on the ninth of july that's when they'll turn off the water in the hopes to have it only the communal times will stay on. the city's taps of fed by reservoirs this is one of the largest. because they'll gallop where four years ago they would have been on the twenty five meters of water since then the provinces suffered the worst drought on record. water saving measures have already postponed a zero bytes three months everyone here is hoping the winter will soon bring enough rainfall to make sure the road never comes.

12:30 am
washington and pyongyang at a summit with the north korean leader then j.n. will travel to pyongyang on tuesday to hold talks of kim jong un is said to be the third meeting between the two leaders and the first since ken summit with u.s. president donald trump in chin and is also looking to improve economic ties with the north will be accompanied by a large business delegation robin wright has more now from seoul this is a large delegation that number some two hundred people when you include all of the journalists who will be accompanying moon j.n. as he goes for this third summit in pyongyang with a heavy emphasis on business a number of very senior executives from south korea including from companies like oen day and also samsung reflects a moon jane's optimism about where this dialogue might lead to in terms of future economic cooperation across the d.m.z.
12:31 am
that separates north and south korea but of course there is only so much they can do a lot of the deals that they can talk about can only be talked about theoretically because of course south korea is hampered like the rest of the international community from doing any kind of deals with north korea because of sanctions but the group also includes people from other walks of life such as religious leaders women's rights and labor rights activists are included on the list as well as the odd sports star and musician even if it reflects i think the moon j.n. wants to engage with north korea on a number of different levels not just in terms of the economy but also possibly at a cultural level but also the hope is that this third summit between the leaders of north and south korea will help unblocked the stalled negotiations between north korea and the united states. to think isn't it. the president has explained the
12:32 am
goal of the upcoming summit the first is to improve and develop into korea relations secondly to mediate and catalyze the dialogue between north korea and the u.s. for denuclearization the third is to end military tension and threats of war between south and north korea the big question of course is north korea's denuclearization commitment but south korean officials remain convinced about north korea's sincerity with officials saying only last week that kim jong un accepts the fact he will have to carry out this denuclearization during president donald trump's first term in office which presumably means within the next two years that does seem to be a very tall order given the extent of north korea's missile and nuclear programs are but then this whole dialogue back and forth has seen many twists and turns so nobody i think can rule out what the coming week might bring now years of conflict
