indeed another barrier good be the saudi u.a.e. coalition saying there's a new assault is underway in her data. that's right i mean the rhetoric is coming at just the same sort of fast pace as the fighting really we are hearing the latest line we have from inside from the who thing is is that they are saying again that they are repairing a lot of the attacks and there is still no control over the key routes between between her data and the capital sanna that is. really a condemnation of claims by the coalition that they have control of it now the fighting is still going on the latest is of course what you mentioned earlier the attack on the fishing boats reported by huth is this is a little old it's twenty four hours old simply because the reporting of such events . has to wait for news reaching the shoreline but we have an eighteen in this

hasn't been confirmed by a neutral source eighteen fisherman killed or from the same village the line taken before with other similar attacks by the coalition naval ships is that they suspect arms smuggling going on that is denied point blank by the who thinks so that's one incident another issue is the grain silo storage a very large complex data called the red sea mills lots of controversy about this the the blaze was still. still actually taking place there was still flames seen on site on monday and reports from who theme media and we understand still that there is a dispute over who is responsible the coalition claims that it is did it themselves who is say it wasn't an asteroid it was shelling by yemeni government forces right anderson is bringing that from djibouti thanks very much.

livelihood on the u.s. east coast heavy rain is still disrupting rescue efforts in the carolinas storm florence has been downgraded to a tropical depression and thirty people have been killed in north and south carolina christian salumi reports from wilmington in north carolina it may not be the strongest storm to hit north carolina but florence is the wettest rivers continue to rise as rain continues to fall as much as a meter across the state so far among the lives lost in the storm a one year old boy swept away from his mother as they tried to escape their car in floodwaters. tens of thousands of homes have been damaged with more misery predicted for those who live along rivers which have yet to crest thousands remain under evacuation orders. closer to the coast the sun came out but many roads remain impassable the city of wilmington was cut off from the rest of the state for nearly

a day here in wilmington electricity and basic supplies remain scarce people who wind up here for hours trying to get ice they're trying to preserve what food they have left for. many years in a lot of whom many expressed relief for the break in the weather and a chance to take stock. of travel we've had. water on the floor. but we make it everybody in our neighborhoods pigeon in working together i've been here all my life i've never seen anything like do you see it's just is so unusual the way not as much when the more rain but even as utility crews work to restore power to the hundreds of thousands still without florence has begun wreaking havoc elsewhere moving on to west virginia and virginia where they are on the lookout for tornadoes as well as more rain major rivers are expected to remain flooded for the

next two to three weeks kristen salumi al-jazeera wilmington north carolina. well the one hundred people have died in flooding across ten states of nigeria heavy seasonal rains caused the niger and ben rivers to bust the banks floods have spread across the country over the last two weeks. iraq is running out of water this ministry says around ninety percent of land is now the fama say the future is a dying with the crops and reports from baghdad. this is what's left of this section of the once mighty tigris river. barely enough water to escape iraq's burning daytime heat the tigris and the euphrates rivers were the main water supplies for these once lush rice fields. farmers like raman used to be able to grow up to eighty square metres of rice. that's only a little over one percent of the size of an average football pitch but it helped to keep his family alive now he produces barely

a fraction of what if you grow before. now as i have said look how dry this land is we can't get enough water even the water irrigation canals are empty and. iraq's ministry of water resources says that levels in rivers like the tigris here in baghdad have dropped up to forty percent over the last twenty years they say that partly to blame our dams and reservoirs which are being built in turkey to the north and they're restricting the flow of water southwards but also in the last nine months iraq's only had about half the amount of rainfall it normally gets over the course of a year and that's making things even worse it's estimated iraq's strategic water reservoirs contain eight billion cubic meters of water less than the minimum the country needs so the government says it's stepping in the military i didn't feel when we planned to cultivate around fifty square kilometers of rice as well as sixteen thousand square kilometers of orchards and vegetables for people to use in

their homes but we can't provide as much water for crops as we did in previous years. farmers tried digging wells to reach water underground but it's often saturated with salt and that's deadly for plants. in the past we made more profit and we were rich with crops now we can hardly grow enough underground water isn't a solution it's a big problem to not have much water to irrigate your crops many farmers are taking jobs as laborers in the streets and on building sites leaving behind their drilling fields rob matheson al-jazeera back down. as in germany say a member of the russian punk band pussy riot who came to the country for treatment was like a point sent. to a clinic in moscow last week after falling ill following a court hearing is a flame to fight a further treatment doctors that save us love is not in danger but still needs

envoy trying to bring peace to the middle east how is negotiations with him helped save thousands of jews from nazi concentration camps and how these mediation skills put him at the vanguard in the quest for peace in the middle east. killing the. on al jazeera. al-jazeera. hello and welcome to this al-jazeera news hour live from. team dennis coming up in the next sixty minutes russia says its military planes been shot down by syrian forces but plain visceral for the incident that killed fifteen servicemen. all

smiles as the leaders of north and south korea meet to discuss denuclearization. the saudi emirates he led coalition steps up its attacks on yemen today the poll. trouble in paradise the moodies government's accused of corruption following an al-jazeera investigation. i'm joining with the sports and a big game in the champions league on cheese day between liverpool m.p.'s cheap plus. zero point zero zero. zero. what has a small london football club got to do with the spanish civil war i'll tell you why the team shuts the selling out because of the link. the russian defense ministry says fifteen military servicemen have been killed after their plane was shot down by syrian anti aircraft fire but it says israel is

fully to blame for the incident the russian plane went down off the syrian coast near latakia moscow says israeli jets hid behind the russian plane putting it in the path of syrian air defenses rusher is calling it a. brit's provocation israel has yet to respond to the reports that its jets were attacking syrian installations in the area we can go live now to moscow our correspondent there is rory chalons rory the russians of come up with a fairly comprehensive description of what they think happened. yes and the outline you've just given there is pretty much what the russian defense ministry has said that the. israeli jets on their strike runs against targets inside syria last night had basically used this russian surveillance plane this ill twenty that's the type of plane as

a shield so that when the syrian air defense systems launch their missiles it was the russian plane that was caught in the crossfire and was blown out of the sky into the sea fifteen servicemen lost the search and rescue operation has found the wreckage sites twenty seven kilometers off the syrian coast they have found some bodies they found personal effects that sort of thing so we have a very angry russian defense ministry today angry with what they say israel has done they have a de confliction system in operation with israel it's been working pretty well pretty effectively for several years now this seems to be a significant failure in that the russians are angry because they say they did not get enough warning from the israeli only a minutes before the israeli planes started launching their attacks was any information transferred to the russian side so there has been

a conversation between the russian defense minister sergei sure who and his counterparts avigdor lieberman in israel in which russia said israel was to blame for this we're getting words you like hostile provocative irresponsible that's the kind of language being thrown around by the russian defense ministry the kremlin has spoken as well. the spokesperson. dmitri peskov has basically said that the russian defense minister has given a comprehensive account of what's happened but at the moment the kremlin is not echoing kind the. of language that we've heard from the ministry of defense basically saying that it is very concerned by the incident and has transmitted the feelings of condolence to the families of those who've lost their loved ones in this incident but it seems judging by this early reaction from the kremlin that

write to me a person might not want to exacerbate any kind of rift with israel and might want to play this one down rory chalons live in moscow thank you very much now we're going to go to our correspondent stephanie decker she is in taqiyya in southern turkey very close to the border with syria and this incident stephanie is just a perfect illustration is the of the dangers because of the that the business of the skies above syria. absolutely the sky is in the water is martine so you know you have a russians reconnaissance aircraft with fifteen crewmembers on board in the sky you have israeli f. sixteen s you have american vessels british vessels turkish vessels french vessels also israeli submarines all believed to be in the mediterranean you have the syrians operating russian made anti aircraft air defense systems you have iranian militias backed groups on the ground i mean it is

a complete mess and it shows how fissile the situation is as we were all focused on it live and how russia and turkey had agreed on a demilitarized zone which was a verging conflict in lives so far all of a sudden just a couple of hours later martine reports of missiles raining down on latakia we were seeing pictures coming out of massive explosions nobody knew what was going on so again it gives you a sense of how complicated this war is yes we're dealing with an opposition but you're also dealing with many different state actors with their own interests so as we were saying i think certainly it's an escalation when it comes to russia and israel that both countries will not want to escalate and there is a de confliction between the two since two thousand and fifteen but of course this is a very very serious incident absolutely and you are in israel not that long ago stephanie and these really is normally they don't comment on the allegations of their activities over syria but in the past it's been established isn't it pretty much

the israelis are trying to curb in the military presence on the ground in syria what do we know then about the original missile strikes that led to this disastrous outcome. well according to the syrian state news agency what was hit and that some of the pictures that we saw with those massive explosions was what they call an industrial technology park while what we understand this how some kind of syrian military facility syrian army was using it whether they were iranian backed forces present whether there were weapons present that israel deemed to be a threat to its security will be confirmed however looking at these things in the past and in a rare admittance israel recently said that it had launched over two hundred attacks on targets inside syria over the past year and a half reading between the lines you would assume that if israel has indeed carried this out because of course it hasn't confirmed and it won't confirm that there would have been some form of ranya linked presence weapons presence in that area

but of course this is as you mentioned israel's main concern this is why it's been talking so closely to russia and we were in the golan heights just recently watching russian planes and syrian planes taking back territory from iceland that area we clearly heard and we saw a russian plane because it's white in the sky seemed to be crossing into israeli airspace and flying back into the syrian controlled golan heights carrying out its airstrikes so it gives you a sense of the closeness of conversation and de confliction that the two countries have lavrov was also in tel aviv then discussing these issues so i think again complicated dangerous but i think both sides will be keen. to try and find some middle ground to move forward on this all right stephanie decker live in antarctica thank you very much indeed we're here in doha with me is my one couple and he's the director of policy analysis at the arab center for research and policy studies welcome. first of all just your immediate reaction to this incident that's happened

do you think it will have any impact upon the russian appetite for engagement in syria this is the first serious incidents between the russians military intervention in syria start. in late september two thousand and fifteen the two countries they have been able to actually to prevent such incidents by establishing the sort of the conflict mechanism between the chief of staff of the two armies but for me i don't think this is will it's going to be between the russians and there is about it i think the two conflicts actually are very. keen on not actually escalating this i think. the statement by russian defense ministry as well as by the kremlin and i expect that at least we'll be following suit actually by trying actually to deescalate a lot of done escalate the situation between the two and moving back to the situation seems very much as a deal that was struck between presidents. to establish this. this.

is being welcomed by pretty much everyone here because it was the feel of it that i mean everybody was expecting a bloodbath. i thought by the russians and its allies on the on the city so i think everybody must be relieved in addition i think everybody got what he wanted from. a military operation without having a military operation in fact that russians now. have got the syrian opposition factions being moved north towards a far from the mean is. actually having them in the road between now and between how much opened. the turks actually dig got confirmation and accept an acknowledgement in fact by the russians that
