main arteries there were also almost that were attacked and my understanding so far for speaking to people and from some of the statements read by a government official is that there were other doctors political actors who had an interest in investigating these violence and you can imagine the possibility of the younger people turning against one another as well as the dark force behind these young people are doing. really interesting talking to you our lalo joining us from out a suburb out thank you thanks for having me south korea's president traveling to pyongyang right now in order to kickstart a stalled peace process his aim is to convince the north's leader kim jong un to give up his nuclear weapons but it's been somewhat overshadowed by a u.n. security council meeting in new york the u.s. called the meeting saying it was urgently needed to discuss countries undermining sanctions on north korea and its ambassador nikki haley has been pointing the

finger of blame at russia why after voting for sanctions eleven different times is russia now backing away from the. we know the answer it's because russia has been cheating and now they've been caught. despite its repeated support for u.n. sanctions russia is actively working to undermine the enforcement of the security council sanctions on north korea. also russia has claimed it has proof that ukrainians down the malaysia airlines flight m.h. seventeen back in twenty fourteen an incident that really shocked the world remember all two hundred ninety people on board were killed two hundred ninety eight people on board were killed the kremlin's defense ministry says the missile had been produced in one thousand nine hundred six and it was owned by ukrainian authorities over a dutch led investigation previously concluded the missile was russian made and was

transported to ukraine from a russian military base in the city of curse we heard from alexander the traverse a little bit earlier a security expert and coordinator of the security studies program at the university of geneva he reckons at the time the ukraine was not capable of operating the military network used in this attack. there is definitely contradiction towards a very significant dutch investigation reports but there is also a contradiction between the russian vision of events and nearly all of the different international investigations that have taken place regarding this this terrible event the russian government definitely has the interest of of maintaining this situation unresolved just like the entire conflict of dumbass just like the question of south of setia essentially russia is not fighting to try and convince anyone that their version is the correct version but they are going to attack just

about every international investigation as they have pressured the investigators in two thousand and fourteen two thousand and fifteen because what the russian would like in this affair is essentially an unresolved affair it's very difficult to imagine any other variant than the international investigations have confirmed because simply we have had international investigators on the ground we also know that the air defense system that was used is actually part of a much larger network so it's not possible and it's ultimately not a question of the individual person who has pressed on a button you need an entire network an entire military radar sensor network in order to operate such a such a missional and absent that particular time ukraine could not have engaged such a weapon. international criminal court has fined the former vice president of democratic republic of congo three hundred fifty thousand dollars for bribing

witnesses during his war crimes trial bemba sentence was reduced to time already served meaning his conviction stands but he won't serve any more time in prison he was acquitted of a separate charge of war crimes in june after an appeal member has been barred from standing in december's presidential election in d c because of his convictions more now from the baka the international criminal court has sentenced. to twelve months in jail and fined him three hundred fifty thousand dollars but the court said that this sentence should be considered already served after bamber spent ten years in jail in the hague on only a charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity carried out by his movement for the liberation of congo in the central african republic in the early two thousands that only a convention conviction was quashed in june allowing him to be able to return back to the d r c to bounce a presidential bid but the electoral committee of the d r c said that he should be

prevented from standing as president while this particular verdict was pending well now that the verdict has been given now that it has been considered already served there is in theory nothing stopping bemba from returning to the d r c to be able to mount a presidential bid but he is one of four opposition leaders who have been prevented from challenging the current leadership the possibility for violence should he be prevented from standing is very high indeed ever since the country gain independence from belgium in one thousand nine hundred sixty there has not been a single peaceful transfer of power. zimbabwe's government has banned all public gatherings and ordered food vendors off the streets of the capital as it battles a cholera outbreak the disease has already left at least thirty people dead and thousands more ill i was how do we toss reports from harare not everyone even supports the decision. the streets of harare are much quieter than usual there has

been since the government imposed its ban on stalls selling street food it says has had to take such measures to stop the spread of cholera vendors try to keep their distance from right police who have orders to remove anyone who refuses to leave but some people say they have no choice but to ignore the ban they say they need to make money you must find a way to care about two things. or just say you know. them doesn't just kick you out. probably to get zimbabwe has one of the highest unemployment rates in the world. one hour early one month my child is one month old i'm on the street every day so i get money to freedom and by the police are chasing me away how am i supposed to survive. the government recently declared a cholera emergency in the capital some harare residents blame the council for his inability to supply clean water in some suburbs it's been like that for more than

a decade. union leaders say the government is blaming dangerous for the outbreak instead of fixing the real problem dilapidated water and sanitation facilities i understand that issues in their motions being moved to if violently confronting us in the streets and we feel that that is not a proper. process to take it all that good should not be encouraged to be to be done but some city council workers believe removing st hilda's is one way to contain the disease right now we are negotiating with private property owners for them to be able to consume some of them for them to have proper. places opening up and constructing some of the vending stalls designated selling points made public toilets have been proposed in and around the city this is where the government wants some of the bindis to go it's a market in downtown harare it's still being built but some people say the rain

tolls are too high. cost a few hundred dollars depending on the size some vendors prefer selling on the street so they don't pay rent. but selling on the street means dodging right police who have been arresting people and confiscating much advice health workers say the show of force won't stop the spread of cholera if the political will to deal with a crisis once and for all isn't the. al-jazeera. haters president has dead congress to dismiss his cabinet to push for a referendum on anti-corruption measures and it's got to has ordered the opposition controlled congress to debate his proposal if a blockade and a no confidence vote out of will then be able to dissolve congress something he has threatened to do his campaign to reduce corruption follows a leak of videos showing judges negotiating bribes to settle cases still morphew on the sport with them they will find out which big sports stars have been inspiring

a war climate change and technological disruption facing realities whatever it is they have to korea is not in me it is in the people of you gotta hear their story on talk to al-jazeera. the leaders of turkey and russia agree to set up a demilitarized zone an adlib province to separate syrian troops and rebels. oh i maryam namazie and london you know with al jazeera also coming up sexual assault allegations threaten to derail the confirmation of president trying to print court nominee brett kavanaugh. rescues keep searching for thousands of people feared buried by a huge landslide after typhoon man good hit the philippines. and australia

a strawberry scare spreads to all six states with disastrous repercussions for the first industry. leaders of russia and turkey have agreed to set up a demilitarized zone in syria's a province to keep government forces and rebel fighters a pause russia's defense minister says that means there will be no military assault russian president vladimir putin struck a deal with his turkish counterpart russia type at the talks in sochi zone is expected to be established in just under a month's time ago on had warned of a bloodbath and it led the syrian government forces backed by russia and iran attempt to recapture the last rebel held territory the u.n. won that a full scale offensive on ad lib elites the worst humanitarian catastrophe of the twenty first century. so we decided to create a demilitarized zone between the rebels and the government by the fifteenth of

october this year it will be fifteen to twenty kilometers wanted rebels must withdraw from there including old news reform and according to our proposal by the tenth of october heavy artillery must be removed from the source. tanks of the machinery guns all removed from the stone by opposition forces so. in i believe we will prevent a humanitarian crisis which is important and we will continue to do our duty as far as russia and other countries are concerned it is a very important achievement furthermore there are terrorists active in syria outside of it it is important to underline the national security of turkey but you have the y.p. and this organization is doing ethnic cleansing for the future of syria and turkey beyond it there are terrorists in the eastern part of syria and we have to target these areas or we challenge brings us the latest on this now from moscow well for some two weeks now we have been talking about certain imminent offensive against

the last remaining rebel strongholds the deescalation zone of it in syria i think we can shelve that toll now because the announcements made earlier in sochi by russia type. person constructs a very different scenario for that area what they have talked about is setting up a fifteen to twenty kilometer demilitarized buffer zone essentially separate thing the syrian forces of the government from the rebel groups have been kind of caroll that into the. town and and countryside. what this will mean is that they essentially have to pull back the heavy weaponry except her and opposition groups will have to pull back from this buffer zone the buffer zone will be policed by russian and turkish troops it amounts i think

to a fairly significance diplomatic victory for ratchet tiverton when for some time now he's been stridently voicing his opposition to the looming offensive and russia although it was never particularly enthusiastic about the humanitarian disaster that you know a full bore offensive on it live would have entailed would have gone through it had it not not been for turkey's opposition well stephanie decker has more now from antakya near turkey's border with syria on what this deal will mean for people on the ground. i think we need to see this as a temporary plaster yes the turkish president has gained more time but huge challenges remain the first question is this when you look at the ground whether these kinds of deals actually take shape whether they are successful will the group

. which is a real sticking point is the group formerly known as the mr frontin believed to be associated with al qaeda will they agree to give up their happy will have the weapons in this area and retreat it will be seen as a capital ation of the group to turkey and to the demands also of russia and of the syrian government many people will tell you that they will not do this but i think again we need to be patient and see how it plays out on the ground also with key point made in that press conference saying that by the end of the year they expected the highways the highway that runs from aleppo to damascus and from aleppo to the top here to resume normal traffic while this gives you a sense that they believe that over this time they will take back let's say around hoffa vidlin province the question is this the rebel fighters are they going to agree what about the civilians are they going to accept being under as we understand an area that is patrolled by the russians as well i think still many questions moving forward complications as to whether rebel groups are going to go are they going to disarm remain i think we need to take this step by step and first

take a look at the next couple of days in the next couple of weeks to see if this first step will be implemented. the future of the highest court in the united states hangs in the balance of a sexual assault allegations which threaten to derail the confirmation process of president trump supremes court nominee christine blasi ford alleges brett kavanaugh tried to assault her when they were in high school and her lawyer says she is prepared to testify publicly to the senate judiciary committee vote on his appointment this week that some members of aust for a delay cavanagh has called the accusations completely false and says he is also willing to talk to the committee to defend his integrity let's go live now to our white house correspondent kimberly how kit what's been the reaction that to christine blasi willingness to testify publicly now.

well u.s. president donald trump has just spoken publicly about it and i'm just getting those lines now essentially he is. defending his supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh saying that he is one of the great he is a great intellect and one of the finest people i'd like everybody to be happy on the vote to confirm him he says you know it takes a little delay it will take a little delay shouldn't be much to lay i'm sure it will work out very well whether he has spoken with brett kavanaugh he would only say that he has not and with regard to the withdrawal of that nomination u.s. president donald trump says what a ridiculous question so what this seems to say mariam is in fact the white house is doubling down on their defense of brett kavanaugh this kind of echoes the statement that was put out a few hours ago from the white house in fact saying that brett kavanaugh in his words calls these allegations that sexual misconduct completely false what this

essentially is is a very very pivotal moment with regard to this nomination the white house knowing the clock is ticking that this is something that they need to push through before the midterm congressional elections because that election could change very much the makeup of the congress moving forward and could put that nomination in peril but having said that it needs to get out of committee before the full senate can vote on this and that is very much a question the committee hoping to vote on this on thursday but now there are ten democrats and at least one republican on that committee that are saying we need to hear from this accuser we may need to hear from brett kavanaugh before this vote can go ahead so the possibility of that vote happening now seems very much in doubt so what bearing then do these allegations have on the confirmation fight presumably it does slow things down. it not only slows things down it

potentially could derail it completely because if this doesn't happen before the u.s. election those dynamics could change having said that what this will further do is polarize the already divided america over this issue because one of the big reasons that donald trump got into the white house is because there are many in the united states that believe that the supreme court the highest law in the land has become too liberal and there was a need for more conservative judges and so that's why many conservatives evangelicals even went behind the nomination of donald trump and they are expecting to get him to deliver on that he has already done that in the form of milk or such and they were counting on the nomination of brett kavanaugh despite the fact that it's been somewhat rocky of being pushed through so if that does now not happen expect that you could see republicans going out full force for these pivotal congressional elections in november but at the same time many of call that election

a referendum on donald trump's agenda expect that democrats will do the same just as they have done with bringing forward the information about this accuser because we do know that while these allegations happened thirty five years ago the democrats have had this information for many months but have threatened all along to do rael this nomination it seems that tactic has proven somewhat successful given the fact not just democrats but republicans say they need to hear from this accuser despite the denials by cravat brett kavanaugh that he ever participated in any way in this type of sexual misconduct this being alleged thank you very much can really help get to the white house. now more than one hundred people have died in flooding across ten states and nigeria heavy seasonal rains caused the rivers to bust the banks floods have spread across the country for two weeks a national disaster has been declared in four states and the nigerian government

has approved twenty one million dollars for medical and relief support will rescue in the philippines is still searching for survivors buried on the landslides caused by typhoon that more than fifty people have already been confirmed dead in northern parts of the country teams of people are digging through mud in a to go in town trying to find dozens of miners trapped in a bunk house off to heavy rain there's little hope that any of them are alive hundreds of police and soldiers a working at the site with hand tools as heavy equipment comb be brought in jim allen dogan is at the rescue site in it on. what the local government is trying to do is to expedite the process of its emergency response for example these backhoes have been working all day trying to clear the roads and this should be the way for a speedier rescue and retrieval operations and this is something that is expected to last many days i'm just going to show you the work that's being done here by

local government officials have set up a temporary emergency response center and over there is the list of those who have been missing families are there eagerly waiting for news from their loved ones and also behind me is a small processing area for the bodies that have been recovered by operatives here we were told that they have set up a small embalming process behind. me and this should actually make the process easier they would like to turn over the bodies to the families very quickly now this whole operation is expected to last for over a week and that is because the full scale of this devastation has yet to be realized we were told that two backhoes have been attempted to be brought in in order for in order to help with retrieval operations only for those machines to be stuck on the top of the cliff and so right now what is happening really is a man while our ritual operation done by volunteers this is devastating not just

for the community basically but for the many others who are dependent on these small scale mining operations for their livelihood but the government assured those who are waiting here the community here that help is very much on the way. four people died as time moved on to guangdong province in southern china scott hyder brings us more on that now from beijing the world's strongest storm of the year typhoon man could made landfall in china's mainland on sunday night it weakened as it reached guandong province in the south one of the world's most densely populated regions home to one hundred million people. this after a near direct hit on hong kong and macau lashing the islands with high winds waves and flooding. thousands of people were without power either knocked out by the storm or shut down for safety reasons in china two point four million people had to be evacuated from their homes hundreds of flights were canceled the high speed
