6:06 am
of the congo issues about climate change migration it is an opportunity when all these leaders are in town to try and deal with many of the world's problems in meetings that will be held in the open but also many meetings that take place behind closed doors just between two leaders discussing various issues for example what we've just seen in the mall deaves we didn't think we were going to have to watch closely the speech by the person who's representing the moldy we do now. trump does have a habit of eclipsing those around him doesn't it should be an interesting week thank you very much our diplomatic editor james bass now in other developments the last british airways flight has taken off from teheran as the carrier suspends flights to iran air france caroline is also stopping flights to iran saying the service is currently not commercially viable but the decision does for any us pulling out of the nuclear deal in may and re-imposing heavy sanctions german

6:09 am
in yemen now where a resurgence of fighting around the port city of data is was singing the country's humanitarian crisis the u.n. estimates that twenty two million yemenis need humanitarian assistance that's three quarters of the population will and eight million are severely food insecure they don't know where the next meal is coming from and rely on food aid to survive and the u.n. says of the ten million also food and secure but are not being reached by aid operations recent collapse in the yemeni ryall has made food imports more expensive making the situation even worse and war and hunger have left two million yemenis internally displaced and almost two hundred thousand have left for neighboring countries al-jazeera is under simmons's an old book refugee camp across the red sea in djibouti when two thousand yemenis a struggling to survive. they're hungry like millions of fellow yemenis they've left behind these men have just arrived in old book huddled together in some shade
6:10 am
having being smuggled out of yemen for two hundred dollars each. it was a life and it's a war we don't want to be part of says this man explaining that he and the others fear they'd be conscripted to join who three rebel forces. this is where they'll end up with families who may have refuge but little else this man has fresh drinking water but can't afford to buy food so his family has to get by soley on emergency aid learn and get lots all are less but there was a lot that we don't receive anything but enough to survive from the u.n. we don't have the instruction needed for our children the elderly even us it's a grim existence here in the sweltering heat of such a dry arid an infertile place the natural focus though of aid agencies is across the water in yemen where by the day the situation for the people is getting
6:11 am
more and more critical. in remote yemeni village they continue to pick leaves from trees is their only means of survival these two brothers know that cooking and eating the leaves will lead to sickness but it provides more mail a day for their extended family and it's a choice between malnutrition or eating leaves. you alone are not enough of the children are suffering from constant diarrhea translates and fever we don't know how and where we can treat them we get no help no one there is no relief organization in our area when we go asking for help we get nothing. some of the children and babies from the village of as lyman had to province have ended up here in this medical clinic. you can see what aid agencies warn is a crisis for the young weak and hungry that's growing bigger. yeah
6:12 am
the war in the famine has caused a spike in the number of those who eat the vine leaves which is leading to an increase of malnutrition cases the vine leaves a highly acidic substance that reduces absorption in the intestines and the stomach this is a very dangerous condition. less than a week ago when i was a reporter on the clinics work this little girl. was waiting for treatment she has since died. the medical staff fighting against one of the consequences of. the losses are higher now than ever before we're hearing that in recent months the number of deaths of children in her job province alone amounts to twenty and so the position for aid agencies is getting incredibly difficult accessing these remote villages where people are literally starving and also accessing areas that are blocked off because of the fighting it is an impossible situation. and they admit
6:13 am
that they are not winning the battle against hunger how different it could be if people could reach camps like this across the water from yemen in small boats is just an hour's ride but that's controlled by smugglers so the situation isn't just desperate for those in yemen as a whole it's also desperate here because some of these people want to go home they don't want to be here in the first place they want to go home the chances of that are pretty remote spain's maritime rescue service says it's rescued more than four hundred people from more than a dozen small soffit southern coast in while the registration of the aquarius to get any private rescue ship operating in the central mediterranean has been revoked by panama and follows a complaint by eating at the ship's captain and to find instructions to return rescued migrants to libya. with dozens of migrants on board including children and pregnant women. here the possibility of another u.k. referendum breck's it is rising off to the leader of the opposition labor party

6:15 am
unico see asians and they want the option of stopping breck's it altogether once we know what the deal is a box on offer i think people are entitled to have a say as to whether they have accepted it and i think that entitled to have on the ballot paper the option of remaining in need you we need to have a say on. it actually i mean because there is no deal and the deal is it's just a complete asshole it's so bad for this country. fresh from love a breakfast referendum a so-called people's vote is clearly growing but the dilemma for the labor party conference here in liverpool is to decide whether the wishes of its membership tally with the wider wishes of labor supporters across the country and indeed whether the country as a whole would regard another one who run them as a great betrayal of. those concerned seemed evident by the random sample of people we spoke to away from the march who showed little affection for the view and no
