and the u.s. had threatened sanctions if the elections were not free and fair. the message is loud and clear the people of the most want change just this instability in the next five years we will get their democracy by guarantee and human rights and then should in accountability be with established peaceful than just so society for all military commission will announce the official results in seven days but with president yemen conceding what is left now is to see if the hill will keep its election promises and try to reform the country he will morgan al-jazeera. we've got patricia goetzman with us now an associate director at human rights watch joining us from brussels to talk about this hi patricia my first thought actually is even though we have had a concession from the president is this also not good do we should we still wait for official results and have it one hundred percent confirm because you just feel it could be a chance he might still want to hang on to power well of course that is

a concern and i think it's always wise to leave get down to the actual final official results in but him to a larger question there is even if in fact he does step aside is that they president elect solely now has to deal with the machinery that's been put in place that helped carry out many of the kind of autocratic sort of moves that took place under president yemen in the to sherry sorry terry legal structure and so that's also what he's going to have to confront and how does he confront that does he do it by bringing back all the people who were exiled getting people out of jail i mean they were opposition people who were pushed aside shall we say but they're going to have it's going to be very fragmented i guess. well there are of course people who've been illegally jailed or exiled obviously and should have the right to to be freed and to return home the more the critical question is going to be that he'll face the problems that former president nasheed faced which is basically

in the judiciary at the mall these does not have a history of an independent judiciary and that's been the judiciary that has functioned as a way for any president to carry out any kind of autocratic moves he want to make or corrupt moves they want to make reforming the judiciary has to be a priority as as well as dismantling laws like the defamation law that have been used to crack down on the media that's where i'm sure present telling knows he needs to move but he's head of a coalition i mean he's head of a party but it's a coalition opposition group the one and there will be groups pulling in different directions now that the election is over even sort of. the the vote itself the way it happened the fact that there was strong turnout in this seems to have been at the science of result that seems to be a good result for the multi-verse and democracy as a whole given everyone was so pessimistic about how the vote or how they thought the vote was going to go oh absolutely i think there it's exhilarating i was on the

phone with people through last night and the mood shifted once it became very clear that this was going in that direction and i think a lot of people just couldn't believe it themselves that the turnout was as use noted very high and i think it became clear even to the ruling party they couldn't they couldn't manipulate the numbers to that extent i think they tried to up until a few days before there were threats the vote counting process and so on but in the end yes the people spoke and it's phenomenal patrik also from human rights watch thanks for joining us there appreciate it. surprise result which i'm guessing was greeted with all sorts of cheer on one a lot of celebration online kemal in fact says that melodies will go down well history as a country that kicked out two authoritarian regimes at the ballot box and without resorting to violence and that's of course a reference to the two thousand and eight election that led to the country's first democratic transition of power in the she defeated the mon. who ruled the country

for thirty years but in a she'd was ousted only four years later and has lived in exile ever since. old drunkard. we do not want to see president jiang mean but it's. not also been. normal marshmellow. normal emergency rule. no one thought. we will hopefully again build a beautiful country and moldavian citizens are also tweeting out their demands for the new government this is a says it's only you must not make the same mistakes as his predecessors and ask him to prevent china and india from interfering too much and there is also a lot of concern about china's influence in the multis as you can see from this graph from royce's the debt from the rest to china is actually far higher than its

g.d.p. and that's because china is heavily involved in the building of roads and bridges and even the new airport in the maltese is estimated the country owes beijing around one point three billion dollars the exiled president the sheet says the actual debts could actually double that. and people are also worried about india's influence so swami is an indian member of parliament he tweeted that people in the multis dead to come out to vote fearlessly because india may have intervened if the polls were rigged well the competing narratives we're actually seeing online are all part of china and india's battle for influence in asia as a whole many people say presently i mean was backed by beijing well certainly had india's backing and generous comment suggests that something else is at play here too he points out that incumbents have been voted out in all of the major south asian elections this year what do you think about this change and what do you

think it will bring to the maltese and also asia in general to the us is the hash tag aging is great and a reminder about the big al-jazeera investigative unit film called stealing paradise it was made two years ago exposing a one and a half billion dollar money laundering scheme it involved singapore and malaysia and it led straight to the mall they've caused a lot of discussion at the time as online for you to watch and all the supporting documents are there as well as our investigative unit always does stephen paradises in the investigation section at al-jazeera dot com now we're getting reports from u.s. media that the u.s. deputy attorney general rosenstein is leaving his job remember this is the man who's ultimately in charge of the russian investigation and it's just a week after reports that he suggested he had secretly recorded. conversations with president trump now was broken just a wanna go this is the article we see from x. ers saying is resigning it talks about he is expecting to be fired so he plans to

step down let's see if we can get more on this with kimberly how catch is our white house correspondent what more do you know kimberly. right well what we know at this hour is being widely reported here in the united states and we are watching this cameras very closely as well for an appearance by rod rosen signed the deputy attorney general so essentially the man who is overseeing that russia probe into whether or not there has been collusion between donald his presidential campaign and russia that he is headed to the white house now what we are told is that he expects to be fired or he has already verbal e said that he wants to leave his post in anticipation of being fired this is a little unclear and we're still working on getting further details about that but again he is the highest ranking official at the department of justice under the attorney general jeff sessions and make no mistake about it even as recently as

friday night donald trump was certainly hinting at the possibility that rod rosenstein would be losing his job when he said that there is a lingering stench one that he implied that he needed to get rid of so certainly we're chasing this and there are a number of angles and given the fact that donald trump has been criticizing rod rosenstein for the past year just wanted to lead into kambli develops and i don't know how long you've got to give us some of the reasons why don't we try to watch him go and what what what problems i guess is the cause for the president's. first i've got as long as you need me and second i'll tell you that yeah there's a lot going on when it comes to this relationship so going back a year you know he's complained about rod rosenstein being a democrat even though we know that he was selected for the job from the list of republican lawyers so that's the first thing he approve search warrants against michael cohen and you'll remember michael cohen is donald trump's personal attorney

that certainly has been facing some hot water legally and is working out sort of deals with the special prosecutor robert muller in exchange for his testimony and then of course he's also been attacked by donald trump for being essentially a supporter of james comey the former f.b.i. director that of course toronto famously fired so these two men have certainly not a lot of love lost between the two in fact just the opposite but most recently of course are those reports that have surfaced that rod rosen science suggested possibly invoking the twenty fifth amendment wearing a wire potentially to secretly record donald trump because of concerns of chaos in the white house something that he has said is factually incorrect but that others have said that they can corroborate that he at least sarcastically suggested this that may be the tipping point that may have prompted the president to to be mulling the actions we think are unfolding and we are watching very carefully to see all

right kimberly i think that's enough for now because i know we're going to be talking to you more as the day progresses clearly how it gets in washington d.c. reminder that breaking news that was the u.s. deputy attorney general rod rosenstein reports that he is leaving his job now is the time of year when global leaders head to new york for a meeting of the united nations general assembly or is lots to discuss but high on the agenda things like ways to reduce the illicit drugs trade and the deteriorating humanitarian situation jews or the war in yemen let's start with this from victoria . the united nations general assembly is where problems that affect people around the world take center stage leaders and policy makers a meeting on monday to discuss some of the world's most important pressing issues the first is the worldwide addiction to illegal drugs the united states is hosting this event and president donald trump is the main speaker the world health organization says two hundred seventy five million people worldwide that's around

one in twenty five have used an illicit drug at least once in the last two years is with the global trade worth an estimated three hundred twenty two billion dollars annually drug related violence and corruption have risen next is there a hinge or crisis this is the first time world leaders have gathered since the un called the violence against the muslim minority genocide the united nations human rights council recently detailed systematic forms of violence used by myanmar security forces against the range of including torture imprisonment mass rape arson and indiscriminate killing third is the war in yemen fighting has devastated what was already the poorest country in the arab world at least ten thousand people have been killed since the saudi amarok alliance intervened to support yemen's government three years ago the un says eight and a half million yemenis face starvation. child soldiers are number four on the list

rights groups say children were recruited by more than one hundred on forces in groups last year and used in conflict by at least fifty six of them former british prime minister gordon brown is hosting an event on global education unicef says two hundred sixty four million children aren't in school finally representatives from un member states a holding a meeting on global peace it's in on a dissenting array of the birth of nelson mandela the form of south african leader and champion against apartheid yes a plenty to talk about this week and it is going to keep our diplomatic editor james bays particularly busy there in new york hi james let's start with just seeing john bolton national security adviser speaking at the moment on our russia story from earlier. yeah john bolton the spin speaking along with nikki haley the u.s. ambassador to the u.n.

giving it some idea i think of what president trump might speak about in twenty four hours time in his speech and our lead story about those russian missiles being given to the syrian government the s three hundred misao certainly condemnation coming from the u.s. saying this would be a major mistake and as it would significantly expand the syrian war so very strong comments coming from the national security adviser comments to coming criticizing iranians role in syria i think that showing you the sort of thing that we might hear from the u.s. president in twenty four hours time of course all of these conflicts we're going to hear about have humanitarian impact and i want to discuss that now with my guest joining me as hell of polling schmidt the former prime minister of denmark the chief executive of save the children let's start where we were just talking about

syria the crisis continues it's now longer than the second world war the syria war has been going on do you think the the problems that we rule for seeing it live have been averted or are you still wondering well we're still waiting to see this new agreement become a reality and let's not forget that it was announced as a deescalation so some ab some years back and people fed to it live now they actually threatened all of a new this season of it let and then what we have mostly worried about is that people in need live and also the at the humanitarian access into it that is what we've seen time and time again and the first thing that gets caught in situ many town access people get trapped and of course there is say no if there is a tax on what should be safe places like schools hospitals and where people that they. that data lies now the other thing that it lip deal was done by russia and turkey the other thing russia and turkey seem to agree on they don't agree on many

things but they do agree on they want to get the refugees back as soon as possible in your view is it safe for refugees to return to syria right now i don't think it's safe at this stage i mean we have a situation in egypt that we have to deal with and i can't say anything on best we get humanitarian access on and less disagreement actually becomes every aleksey and we have seen so many things before that didn't work and where deescalation so it's turned in so actually escalation soames saw and i don't trust those before we see the crema become reality can the people return to syria i certainly hope so and i hope that at some stage we can we can move into a conversation where people have the can return unless i make sure it has to be on a voluntary basis we have to be able to guarantee their return ease their security and it has to be in a dignified way so let's be clear about that but i'm very happy as some states to start discussing this given the horrors of syria it's quite amazing that there is

another country rivaling it's in terms of the humanitarian catastrophe i'm back says yemen and the game is a focus point and it's the data absolutely we are seeing x. many of the same traits in yemen as we saw in in syria where we are seeing besiegement of cities and the worst thing about this is this is such an old fashioned way of war and the people who are suffering most in those proceeds point is actually actually children they they are suffering when that attacks on safe places and that's exactly what we're seeing in yemen in yemen we have a rise in sicknesses that we stop talking about hundreds here in europe and the u.s. where we're standing today we have outbreaks of cholera and it's getting worse we have famine we have four hundred thousand children who are suffering from acute severe malnutrition which is the most extreme. of hunger i sat with the baby when i was in yemen not long ago she was eight months old she weighed the same as

a new born and had she not been given the help from save the children who was in that health facility that day i'm not sure she would have survived this is a situation for children in yemen and what we are seeing people inside the u.n. building to do this week is to come to push the warring parties to the negotiating table and at least agree on a cease fire ever around the port city of what data and particularly push the coalition because they're the ones involved in the offensive on the data and they have countries like the u.s. the u.k. and france who have real leverage don't they with the saudis and you are we are not taking sides in this and i want to point out that both warring parties have a responsibility and there's been great violations from both sides so that's not the point here the point is to say that when both sides signed gage they also have a responsibility to come to the negotiation table and that is perfect perfectly possible this is a manmade crisis and of course it can it is beyond is not beyond our imagination

that it can be solved by man as well so we are urging people to listen to the voices of the children of what data i spoke to our stuff this morning on the ground in what data they're saying the situation is getting worse children are suffering from hunger and famine in the data in india and yemen as such i seen it with my own eyes this is a crisis that needs to be solved at the negotiation table and. both parties to come to that table both only schmidt and save the children thank you very much for joining us on al jazeera yemen clearly an issue that's been going to be the spotlight many world leaders will be talking about it interesting to see in twenty four hours time whether president trump actually mentions yemen in his speech thanks james looking forward to talking to you this week james bases our diplomatic editor as we say there is always a lot to talk about that at the general assembly you saw victoria's report earlier there's an online version as well everything from ranger to north korea all the key issues to be scots at this year's that session in new york have a look the itself

a few nights in the featured section at al-jazeera dot com. to haiti now where people are going out protesting about fuel prices about tax hikes about corruption you name it they are protesting at raila to get through this one that's right come also these are the scenes that we saw on the streets of the capital port au prince hundreds of demonstrators set fire to thai is clashed with police and reportedly threw rocks and government buildings and they're protesting against state corruption and the alleged misuse of funds for an oil program called petro curry bay. we are protesting to ask for justice and to arrest any of those who stole money from me we want those who stole money from parliament and government to resign if they do not we will seek justice for ourselves or pitch or create a started in two thousand and five it was set up by venezuela's president hugo

chavez it allowed twelve caribbean countries to buy petroleum products at a discount price and pay their bills of the twenty five years at a one percent interest rate the savings from the fund as opposed to finance projects to rebuild roads markets and city infrastructure the critics in haiti say this has not happened billions of dollars have reportedly gone missing since the ruling ph t.k. party came to power. but this is all part of a much larger story there are a number of social media campaigns of the past few months many online have been using the hash tag challenge calling for more accountability and others also sharing photos of the sign where is the money some of the banners were also posted across the major streets in port au prince and some of the demos of also being organized by the haitian diaspora in the u.s. this one took place in miami. all former ministers from the ruling party were under

a senate investigation in twenty sixteen and twenty seventeen but i get to face justice and pressure is now on for haiti's new prime minister a promise that his government would tackle corruption and help rebuild the country and this all comes as haiti is still recovering from a cholera epidemic and damage from hurricane matthew which hit the country two years ago and also thousands are still living in makeshift camps off of the twenty ten earthquake that killed more than two hundred thousand people well get in touch with us if you are currently in haiti how is this case affecting you use the hash tag news grid or you can to simply message me directly after him ahmed thank you regular mohamed this is the news great if you're watching us on facebook live about us a.j. plus a story for you know about a photographer trying to save libya's ancient sites and then later the trade war between the u.s. and china it is escalating both sides say they won't stop until the other one does send us your comments are staggering.

headlines from al-jazeera dot com and what's trending as well the top stories are well covered there russian missiles to syria the latest from the mole dave's election which turned out to be quite a surprise there on the render motor we talked about his motive care plan on yesterday's great an opinion piece there about how if indeed nationalism is stumbling that's what you can look forward to what's trending this monday i don't as they would call. the united states has started imposing two hundred billion dollars worth of tariffs on chinese goods this is the latest and the largest round

of levies and a growing trade war between the world's two biggest economies the us is now imposed three rounds of tariffs a total of two hundred fifty billion dollars worth of chinese goods that means about one hundred of all chinese imports to the u.s. will now have levies on them china has already hit the u.s. back with tariffs on fifty billion dollars of imports and it saying it will slap another sixty billion with on american made goods hours after the new tariffs took place chinese state news agency should the u.s. of course trade bullyism for. and only last week donald trump tweeted this tariffs of put the us in a very strong bargaining position with billions of dollars in jobs flowing into our country and yet cost increases have been almost unnoticeable if countries will not make fair deals with us they will be tariffs they'll be tariffs and that. is with us now from washington d.c. what has happened here is your pet is outside wal-mart one of the big retailers

there maybe you can give us a practical sense of what these tariffs mean what the chat what changes will will happen well if you listen to the company wal-mart is saying that this is going to dramatically hurt their consumers people come to places like wal-mart because it's cheaper than going to other stores and that's largely because they import so many of their products so people are probably going to notice this because this is such a huge amount of products it's everything from household items to chemicals to food and so what's going to happen is starting today those tariffs are going to go to ten percent in january if there's no deal they're going to go to twenty five percent so what are these companies going to do well some are going to try to absorb the cost but many are simply going to pass it along to their consumers here's why this is potentially a huge problem for president donald trump he often pretty much every single day talks about how great the economy is doing and that's his biggest selling point and that is true when it comes to the stock market or corporate earnings those are

setting records what is not moving as much as wages minimum wage the average wage that people are making so when they start going to the store and they start realizing that their paycheck doesn't go as far because the pain so much more in tariffs for everything they need to survive like food they're going to notice it and that could be a problem for him so patty the way all this plays out then is that just that both sides keep putting more and more tariffs on so one blinks is that how this is looking. it doesn't look like that's going to happen in fact it seems as if the chinese have basically walked away from even negotiating this and so this is how this is the what to watch for politically here in the united states if democrats can make the case to people that when they go to wal-mart and they can't buy as much of their paycheck doesn't go as far it's because president trumps policies and the republicans in congress who will not check his power on this that could impact the midterm elections what we're seeing is this listen to months away so if the democrats are able to take back the house has been widely predicted or even

possibly the senate then you could see the congress step in to stop the president he these powers that he's instituting are a fair fairly what not well known provision and congress does have the power to stop him no republican so far it acted as if they don't want to they've all been saying that this is a bad thing companies are saying it's a bad thing the president though says he's going to go forward and that's likely to continue unless after the november elections a new congress puts his power in check how do you tell hines in washington d.c. for us thanks patty and the background on why the u.s. and china are really got into all of this is that al jazeera dot com i quite often use this on the news grid you can export from china us face to face explains all about the two countries how important they are to the global economy but also how their competition is creating all these big headaches that's the big one the difference between imports and exports which donald trump dislikes so much he said for china u.s. face to face click on the info graphic filter you will find that one.

and just a couple of quick messages joseph actually like this is said i'm not buying anything new until the tariff was over i bought my last few shirts from the second hand shop this is showing you what people are actually doing carla says maybe i'm in low economic classes by almost everything in retail stores which sell from china like a wal-mart where patty was so they will now become unaffordable for us thank you for your comments hash tag a.j. news good now they are on strike and running out of money stuff from the u.n. agency for palestinian refugees in gaza they say they don't have enough to keep going and so thirteen thousand teachers and health workers have gone on strike to show what life would be like without them it all stems from a decision last month by the united states to pull its funding for the group that's forced job losses that forced a reduction in services in gaza owner needs that funding to run its schools its hospitals camps and social services for millions of palestinians in the middle east harry for that reporting for us now from gaza which has been affected most by the strike. we're here at the h.q.

of the un or agency you can see some of the thirteen thousand local employees who are on strike this monday the consequence of this strike is being felt all across the gaza strip two hundred seventy four under our schools serving two hundred eighty thousand children are closed along with sixteen food distribution centers twenty two medical clinics the reason for this strike can be traced back to a decision by the us administration to cut more than three hundred million dollars in funding for enron and more recently decided to end its funding of the agency in its entirety the workers here say that effects are being unfairly felt by then more than one hundred of them already either sacked or put on early retirement with six hundred being stuck with their jobs being lost by the end of this year they say that an rocket is done more to try to lessen the impact of all that and give people

volunteer redundancy voluntary retirement those sorts of options. here's how the head of the agency here in gaza responds to that charge the rest of the organization has borrowed us forty five million dollars that we don't have for gaza to allow us to continue food to allow us to continue almost three hundred jobs full time and yes sadly move some two part time we've had to make some adjustments but i believe on the basis of fact i can demonstrate we've done a lot to make things as smooth as possible under very very challenging circumstances would be talking to one of the striking employees here and his story does give you a sense of just how deeply these cuts will be felt he says that is twelve hundred u.s. dollar a month salary supports twenty eight family members and that if he does lose his job as he struggled with by the end of this year that's going to have a devastating impact on a huge family and that is a story that is being repeated here many times over so that's why these potential

job losses could be felt so widely now we've talked a lot in the past about the funding of special with those u.s. cuts but i do want to focus on what is it happening with that money how he's touched on it the ways that the services and the people who are in the spotlight have a look at this from the unruh website you're looking at half a million students first of all and that's probably the biggest area to do with education also three point one million refugees accessing health services that's right across the middle east these numbers the big and as i say the education look at that fifty four percent of the budget goes towards that and seventeen percent towards health that tells you why we've seen teaches and health workers walking off the job today we heard from. as well who's worked for an era for thirteen years has just been made part time he shared this with us. we are not to good just over by me and by family of four should did not have the financial commitment to help fight kids in addition to my parents all of these people depend highly completely

depend on my salary i have a financial commitment to the plant i would've bought a dime of fifty percent whole salary you will be when you go to the pound a week for i don't think you survive by family and just a couple more things i want to show you here one is just a really good background and what it does and what's happening as a result of the funding cuts think of assiah better count from the p.l.o. has said there it is by cutting aid the us is violating international law so that peace aid explained well that's what you can search for there down to zero com if you want to read it but there is also this it's a very personal story from ramsey borrowed who says beyond its shoddy schools and stale bread we palestinians see own right as a symbol for our inalienable right to return to school palestine diary of a kid gives you an idea of what the agency really does beyond the numbers some

pictures from back there in the early eighty's it is from the well it's in the opinion section about zero dot com if you want to look so i think a bit different on the u.k.'s largest and often controversial arts competition is all set to open at the tate britain gallery four finalists have been selected to compete for the turner prize and some of the works featured this year focus on human rights issues charlie angela's been to have a book. the turner prize is the best visual arts prize in every garret since it didn't light irritate audiences in equal measure you might remember artist tracey emin's bed in one thousand nine hundred nine but it was in braces that controversy because this prize is about promoting debate around new developments in british contemporary art this year. of political and media accessible we're looking at. politics gender identity police brutality

this room is dedicated to forensic architecture a collective of architects noirs researches filmmakers and journalists who use their skills to dissect human rights abuses this particular investigation is about what happened in two thousand and seventeen when a bedouin villager and israeli policeman were killed during the clearing of palestinian homes in the negev if you satellite images news footage including some from al-jazeera arabic to try and dissect exactly what happened what's fascinating about this is turner prize nominees is it that using moving image forensic architecture with the news footage. with his documentary film shot it podger with a film shot on our i phone. and using sixteen millimeter footage. of new technologies by artists might be unfamiliar to some audiences but tell us something about the world we're living in today and on the fourth of december one of these nominees will receive fifty thousand dollars in prize money that could change their

careers for charlie and al-jazeera and. very pleased to have with us now an art critic and visual arts editor with the london it's joining us from our london studios. do you almost have to do something a little controversial or a little bit something which sort of plays on people's social conscience a bit now to be seen to be recognised to be. relevant. i don't think you have to but it's important to recognize the turner prize is recognizing those artists who are pushing the boundaries of what art is and can be and therefore for art to resonate with people which is what it should be doing it's so nice to tackle the issues that we as individuals are dealing with we see all these things on the news we see on al-jazeera we want our artists to reflect that in their work when they carry their have to but it does have

a particular appeal to our audience when it does. when we have events like this and a big prize like the turner prize in is other prizes in other countries there's always a big sort of talk about who is this arts or what is this or you know does it qualify . again is that important or is it more about what it's making us think about as we just discussed in the stones. yes i think it is important and it's important for a different reason in my mind because the question is this art isn't actually a negative for me for me it's a positive if art is challenging or should be challenging the boundaries is should be challenging the nature of war is so for example we've had assembled who are an architecture who won it before and this year we've got forensic architecture as we saw in that piece they don't even call themselves artists and they were just slightly surprised they were nominated and that's great because it is challenging people it's making us think about things the worst thing or can ever do is make us

feel ambivalent about it it should be provoking whether people love it or hate it that's the nature of it and it that's what we should expect from our artists and from both from the perspective of those who come to see the arts not so much the judges but those who come to the galleries to see it do you think people want to be a challenge like that now that they are actually expecting is not just coming to look at something that is aesthetically pleasing. i believe so and i think that's why people come to the turner prize they want something that provokes them and they go away and then afterwards they catch up with friends back home or in the living in the living room outside a restaurant and they're talking about the work that's the sign of art that's really have an impact on someone and i think that's why people come to modern art museums which are getting more and more popular with each day so it doesn't mean that all can't just be about something that's visually pleasing it's just that this prize is recognising the ones that are really pushing the boundaries and i think that's what we should want from our turner prize of there's been

a few years where i didn't have any emotional resonance with any of the artists and that for me is a poor year and i'd rather have a year where i hate every work than over the year where i know i don't really care about any of the at least a feeling something right to this can joining us from london thank you so much that and he's here to talk about his best awards yes name let's try to find a worthy are you i'm not i'm not i'm not a big fan of the nine births or the players involved are the best in their field faith to hand out their best awards later in london for once little messi isn't in the running for the top prize it's only the third year of the events in twenty sixteen football's governing body broke away from its association with the more historic a bar on the awards which were organized by france football magazine the individual player and coach was voted for by a selection of journalists national coaches team captains on the public shortlisted for the men's prize this year christian aldo luca moderate and mohammed salah well

let's talk now to our sports correspondent leigh welling's. these events normally donated by ronaldo or messi or both or we're about to see that change this year. it feels very unusual doesn't it to not have lain or messy on a shortlist i don't think anyone would dispute here's one of the world's top for footballers i think many many years have seen him as they best focalize certainly got the awards to prove in the past but if you look at what's been achieved over the past year of course he scored loads of goals of barcelona have no k. world cup by his incredible standards for argentina but the three who have been selected were now though has been brilliant as always most salo was fantastic for liverpool before of course he's world cup was a variant by injury for egypt and i don't actually think that that will enable him to win the favorite is low commodity which i quite like that for choice because moderate is never going to score an incredible amount of goes that's not his job

but he's like a heartbeat of that same the conductor of an orchestra it's nice to say that recognised it be nice actually to see him when it's just that the mainstay for so many years has been renaldo they messy that's not happening this year we're now down he said to not be going because of his commitments with the events is a little messy has no reason to go pull paulino with our nomination and just tell us who are some of the other awards and some of the other names we should be looking out for tonight. well there's many awards of course you've got the best women's prior best women's coach the best male coach will be between the french and coalition coaches the world cup final in the third is in it in sit down for what he achieved with round madrid are rather like they pushed us toward for the best goal you can see these goals very easily by typing in favor of best towards the post gus is the one with the war of the award if i was hungary employer those ten thousand

people always argue about what's the best darling in the end it seems churlish to actually knock any of them down i really love a go by while i'm a great an australian women's domestic for what we've got to say if we have a flip in the ball overhead our really hope she wins but there were of course some incredible goes in the world cup that provides for france against argentina and he's nominated say they were in is plenty more for me throughout the night as we get news to his warmers awards for now thank you late or tiger woods admitted he was holding back that says he won his first golf tournament in five years twelve months ago his injury problems were so bad he doubted he would ever play competitively again but woods there is required a security escort just to get to the final grain as he closed in on victory that saw championship this win his eightieth p.g.a. tour title has already been made the favorite how to win the first major of next year at the masters still to come for him this week where he's part of the usa team

they live in a country plagued by poverty. billionaires life is all about glamour luxury and. wonder when east meets the new. u.s. deputy attorney general rod rosenstein heads to the white house amid media reports he's about to be fired one of the latest from washington. live from london also coming up. russia agrees to provide syria's government forces with a sophisticated air defense system the u.s.

calls with a significant escalation and urges moscow to reconsider. president trump has a meeting on the global drug problem as world leaders gather in new york for the u.n. general assembly. and celebrating a change of direction of the movie the president concedes defeat after ten years for the new democracy. to begin with breaking news u.s. deputy attorney general rod rosenstein has been summoned to the white house amid reports he may be fired he's been overseeing the investigation into alleged russian interference into the twenty sixteen election bring you more on that story in a moment we'll be crossing to our correspondent in washington. first the u.s. national security advisor john bolton says russia's plan to supply syria with the

s. three hundred missile system would be a significant escalation and is calling on moscow to reconsider russia announced on monday it will supply the surface to air missile systems to syrian government forces despite strong israeli objections comes a week after moscow blamed israel for indirectly causing the downing of a russian military plane in syria which killed fifteen russian service members for a challenge has basis from moscow. a couple of big steps from the russian defense ministry the headline one is that russia is intending to supply within two weeks the syrian military with the s. three hundred air defense system a big improvement on the s two hundred system that it was currently been operating the second is that russia is going to start jamming on board radar systems sat in our systems military communications systems in the eastern

mediterranean off the coast of syria which will make it harder for outside aviation powers to operate in the area now the s three hundred wars a deal that had been signed with syria a few years ago two thousand and thirteen but israel put its foot down and on the goetia ocean with russia russia decided that it was going to hold off delivering these units well in the aftermath of the events last week in which a russian plane was shot down in the area over the syrian coast russia has obviously decided to go against that agreement with israel now there is some difference it seems between the russian defense ministry and the kremlin over the handling of this the russian defense ministry is very angry with israel the kremlin seems to be wanting to play the issue down so it looks as if we might have

a bit of a split between these two parts of the russian hierarchy when asked about this and whether it was directed at israel the kremlin said no it's not directed at any third party the ministry of defense though specifically named israel in its announcements it is possible of course though that this could be being used as something of a bargaining chip by putin and that maybe over the next couple of weeks the situation will change. slightly own negotiation with. its counterparts in his room as we turn now to the top story and news breaking news that deputy attorney general roland risen steen has been summoned to the white house and to push he may have been who he may be about to be fired what has crossed one can be held that is in washington d.c. first there was also a suggestion he might have resigned first has he was on or not. well we're still trying to nail that down certainly there has been an s.u.v. that we believe is carrying rod rosenstein that was spotted headed to the white

house who is ross wrote rod rosenstein will of course is the highest ranking official overseeing the russia investigation that probe into whether or not there was collusion between presidential campaign and russian the twenty sixteen u.s. election now certainly no love lost between donald trump and rod rosenstein certainly the president has criticized his handling not only of the probe but also the fact that his his boss who affectively runs the department of justice jeff sessions has recused himself from that investigation well certainly there has been concern that donald trump may fire rod rosenstein given the fact that they he's not only unhappy with his handling of the partment of justice but also there are many that believe donald trump may be doing so in order to obstruct or impede the investigation so again the latest is that rod rosenstein heading to the white house

potentially we believe to be fired this is something that donald trump even suggested or intimated when he spoke to his supporters on friday evening at a campaign rally take a listen to what the president had to say. and we have the true swap in washington a hit just look at wada who is now being exposed in our department of justice and the f.b.i. look at what's going on look i watched i was and i want to tell you we have great people in the department of justice we have great people these are people i really believe you take a poll i got to be at ninety five percent but you had some real bad ones you see in what's happened at the f.b.i. they're all gone they're all gun was they're all gun lobby but there's a lingering stench sure and we're going to get rid of that too. can be what does

this all mean for the russian destination. well that lingering stench that the president says he has to get rid of is what many believe was him referring in directly to rod rosenstein and those f.b.i. officials that he is talking about peter struck lisa page others that donald trump and many of supporters believe certainly have a biased view against the president and some of those attacks were during that that were exchanged between those two f.b.i. officials certainly would indicate that but at the same time when it comes to the russian vest a question where does that leave it well many people scratching their heads and it gets a little bit into some legal language that would make this a difficult one to nail down in terms of who would oversee this of rod rosenstein is fired or whether he resigns but the bottom line is in the chain of command to the partment of justice it would be the solicitor general who would then be the

next highest ranking official potentially to oversee that but again what many people fear is that this could be sort of a pivotal turning point much like we saw in the nixon presidency that saturday night massacre where two department of justice officials resigned because they did not want to fire the special prosecutor overseeing the watergate investigation many people say that these parallels are eerily familiar so watching what happens at the white house in the next couple of hours very closely to see whether or not rod rosenstein the deputy attorney general is resigning or whether he is fired because those would have serious implications for the russia probe committee how could thank you very much. world leaders are gathering in new york for a united nations general assembly that's likely to see some intense discussions

u.s. president donald trump has been at the u.n. headquarters chairing a meeting on the global drug trade but the interest is on the days ahead he said to address the general assembly on tuesday as is the iranian leader hassan rouhani tension between the two powers is growing following an attack in the area in city of allies two days ago our diplomatic editor james bass has more on what we can expect price they are words that will go down in the history of the united nations the united states has great strength and patients but if it is forced to defend itself or it's our allies we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea the far the rhetoric by donald trump in his first visit here is u.s. president stunned diplomats a year on relations between north korea and the u.s. we improved but no one expects the u.s. president will spend three days this time at the u.n. to be much more restrained. this year watch what happens in the united nations is

most powerful body the security council around the horseshoe table where ambassadors normally sit they'll be presidents and prime ministers although russia and china will only be sending their foreign ministers as the us happens to have the monthly rotating presidency president trump will chair the meeting and it's already clear this year he has iran in his sights fact earlier in the year he finally pulled the u.s. out of the iran nuclear deal and agreement the u.s. and its allies had made with iran to end its nuclear program in twenty fifteen while the other signatories are still technically in the deal it looks to be in deep trouble when i asked the un secretary-general antonio could terrorists about it he didn't sound confident it would survive. it's not clear that a lot of contacts have been taking place a lot of asians have been taking place between different members they. and so i

think that is an effort u.s. secretary of state might pompei i will also chair a security council meeting the day after president trump this time on north korea the situation has changed dramatically in a year trump seems to trust kim jong un. the contrast with his approach to iran is something likely to be causing much discussion among the leadership in tehran according to a former obama administration official who dealt with both countries so i think there are some around ians or say also why we need a nuclear weapons and if we have nuclear weapons then we could get his attention and we could get his indorsement of us the same way that trump is endorsed kim jong un there are others who would say listen the north koreans have a completely different security situation they're able to threaten south korean a way that we're not anybody else maybe we need to do that leaders from around the world are here in new york but events of the united nations a likely to be dominated by president trump and the u.s. leader is also likely to be in all the headlines diplomats say that is an

unfortunate distraction from many of the pressing issues that lena should be dealing with. and james joins us live now from the u.n. as you mentioned there president trump expected to dominate events again isn't he james. yes he is and he will get all of the headlines this week i think for domestic u.s. political reasons and because of the focus here we saw him last year focus on north korea this year it looks like iran and maybe also those russian missiles we've mentioned by the president to say diplomats those little concerns that trump takes the oxygen out of this event and really hope that the u.s. not only dominates this event but shows its moral leadership on the international stage let's discuss this a little further with my guest kumi nadu who's the secretary general of amnesty international you've just been inside the united nations.
