some people saved their lives by climbing six metre trees. indonesia's president djoko we don't do is said to visit paolo on sunday some eight along with military reinforcements has been flown in but officials fear the worst is yet to come. prone to earthquakes as it lies on the ring of fire the line of frequent quakes and volcanic eruptions that circles virtually the entire pacific rim door such a party al jazeera let's get the latest from tommy so gypped oh he's a journalist in jakarta so how do things look at this point in time we hear that hospitals are struggling tell us about the sort of challenges relief workers are facing. it's been more than twenty four hours since the quake struck the waters off so obviously and just a couple hours ago the chief to create a minister mr around so spoke to one of the local journalists and he just arrived

he's actually on the ground right now along with officials from the disaster agencies we know now that some aid delivered from newcastle and also from from jakarta have indeed arrived via air the airport the commercial airport that was closed for for half a day has been opened for humanitarian purposes also another. two military planes have actually evacuated more than two hundred victims of the quake most of the injured one and there have been evacuated to the provincial fifty of now the next challenge is of course is we do know that aid are coming via roads from the southern city of macassar and also via a medical bed because we're now none of those none of the none of the emergency officials who are on the road have actually arrived in palo due to the reports of

the damaged roads so that's the that's the top priority right now which is to bring the larger quantity of eight via roads but at least now we've we've received. heartening news that eight have indeed particularly the emergency kits have indeed arrived in provincial city of palo. do we have any idea at this point how many people may be trapped in areas which relief workers cannot reach it. what we do know is the number of displaced people is around sixteen thousand people and that number of alone is only coming from the area just from power area as well as by the number of people among debris is. looking at the safety of the building to nisha i think we're

looking at a really really large number paolo is the is the capital city of around three hundred thousand people. which will be there is no. safety that the international. the international requirements so even though there is no exact numbers but we are actually looking at quite. a number of casualties or tommy subject thanks so much tsunami is a series of waves caused by earthquakes or volcanic eruptions under the sea they are common in indonesia because it lives on the so-called ring of fire on half of the world's active volcanoes above sea level are part of the ring for those tsunamis came less than a month after the southern island of lombok was hit by a series of powerful earthquakes more than four hundred fifty people were killed and fourteen years ago one hundred twenty thousand people were killed after a magnitude nine point one earthquake off of some entre island triggered

a tsunami that swept away entire communities around the indian ocean peter jensen is professor and director of the copenhagen center for disaster research at the university of copenhagen he joins us now via skype good to have you with us so first of all what what went wrong with the whole warning system when they issued the tsunami warning when they withdrew it and the tsunami then hit. yeah i hear different rumors and that one and i cannot confirm it. as such but according to the official reports that i have see that they have put this tsunami to come a bit before then it actually it's but apparently there was something. with the seabed and so on so you couldn't predict it as. as precise as they would have liked to do it but i don't know i cannot say oh in to my information i don't know if.

if that warning had been read groom before this would not be here well i don't want to of course to speculate about what happened but let's talk in general terms in a situation like this where one expects a tsunami to come earlier. than that that he actually did does technology currently allow us to keep in touch with what's happening in the sea bad in other was is there a way to not make a mistake like this yeah this is it's of course it's a tricky one and also in this case where you have an earthquake that's really close to the shore so you have very very little time to to. to sort of fit through to the warning to come i mean if you compare it with the other tsunamis we have seen it's you had a good bit more time to be aware of that also this is a very very powerful earthquake we have to remember that all right indonesia of

course is no stranger to worth cakes what do you make of the state the general state of preparedness. normally it indonesia is well prepared but you have to see we have a seven point five earthquake then followed by a tsunami this is like worst case scenario first your infrastructure collapse and then you are being hit by something really really big and when i hear reports about six me that we. really start to worry. i think this oh i hope not but i fear that this is going to be way worse than we can see it right now . all right thanks so much for your thoughts on that we're going to. go in japan nearly two hundred thousand homes are without electricity power after a powerful typhoon hit the southern island of aki now one dozens of flights have

been canceled and hundreds of people have been evacuated typhoon trami is made landfall on saturday in this expected to reach the mainland in twenty four hours western japan is recovering after typhoon gebbie which tore through the country earlier this month funerals are being held for the seven palestinians including two children who were killed by israeli forces in gaza on friday thousands of people were rallying along garza's barrier fence with israel as part of protests that began in march demonstrators have been demanding the right of return of palestinian refugees in em to more than a decade long israeli blockade more than one hundred and ninety two palestinians have been killed so far. live now to iran joins us from the obama so why was yesterday such a deadly day in particular. well given that the numbers of protests were spread out across five or six different sites. clearly not taking any chances what they're

saying is that they have real problems with what they're calling terra kites that are flying into their territory now these kites are effectively kites i can't put it any other way there are cuts that are flying flown by the palestinians they have a condom attached to them filled with. liquid that set alight once that gets across into israeli territory they cut the wire and it drops down setting fire to israeli property causing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of damage however these radio. issued a statement on friday saying none of their soldiers were injured and no property was damaged yet resource seven palestinians including two children be killed so it's been a very somber day in gaza as the funerals have taken place there but still there's been a message of defiance from him out saying that these protests will continue. emraan . there must be some kind of diplomatic moves afoot to ease this blockade after the

collapse of those talks what are you hearing. what we're hearing that the egyptians and the palestinians are in talks to try and bring some sort of rest back to the gaza strip however those are long term talks and they've been going on for a very long time and without any kind of rest for rest point for all these rallies for the palestinians there's really three different types of talks going on the first one is between the palestinian factions themselves between fatah and hamas and who gets to lead the palestinian authority within the gaza strip then those talks between general talks with trying to be mediated by the egyptians between israel and the palestinians and then there's one very specific one that the u.n. are trying to do with israel and hamas within the gaza strip all of those talks seems to be failing at the moment they seem to be stalling however everybody is trying to risk trying to stop the risk of any kind of escalation escalation is really what both hamas and the israelis are worried about iran thanks so much.

by them all still ahead on the news hour including legalizing witchcraft the senegalese his government's new plan to ease the burden on hospitals and the red defeat for the german football champions father who have the details coming up in sports. our coalition of opposition figures in the democratic republic of congo holding a rally in the capital kinshasa in the run up to presidential elections in december twenty one candidates have been approved but the exclusion of some key opposition figures has thrown the votes fanless into doubt outgoing president joseph kabila is backing emanuel shutout. his main opponents are likely to be the leader of the

largest opposition party felix. who came third in the two thousand and eleven election among those ruled out former vice president. was banned over a witness tampering conviction. provincial governor was. in exile was prevented from returning to register his candidacy catherine soy has more now from kinshasa. france one boy. got anything. are on their way to band in the west of democratic republic of congo for three strangers sharing this barge with many others on a two day journey home along the congo river. it's the only way for them to travel cheaply in a country with crumbling infrastructure in december they go to the polls hoping that whoever the elect will improve their lives they will for the first time use electronic voting machines. i do not know anything about this machine no one has

told us the only thing i know i have is my voter's card. opposition leaders and other civil society groups say the new system is not secure enough the technology was created by a south korean company which built similar machines for lections in argentina last year but the devices were then rejected because of security issues that made them vulnerable to hackers for russian what is no. one requires it in i will we we speak. about. electoral commission officials deny suggestions the machines could be used for wreaking and say changing the system means delaying the election they have the support of members of the ruling coalition. every mission has been taken by the

electoral commission to ensure that the process is secure opposition politicians are going is this afraid they will lose about one hundred thousand machines will be distributed across this vast nation the second largest in africa to be used by forty six million registered voters most people in d.r. congo live in rural areas of this port in the capital kinshasa travellers tell us that they are worried about the election in the new voting system but on many also say that they are more concerned about the basics food shelter security and better ways of getting home than this rickety boats. we are expecting a lot from this election in the country is not good people are suffering. i fear the addicted leader. with less than three months to go before the polls changing the system seems highly unlikely but opposition leaders are standing their ground

that are not for media and questionable technology dead. let's get more now from katherine sawyer she's long so what options does the opposition have some of the concerns some of the demands are not met. that catholic church has been trying to get the fifty. together. with the electoral commission to try and get up to try and so far has not worked out another thing is that the opposition another option is that the opposition continue having rallies such as this just about to begin just basically to put more pressure on the electoral commission. and agree to their demands and joining me to discuss this is martin. presidential candidate and part of this.

opposition groups that have organized this really rally misstep by you thank you for joining us my first question the lecture commission on the way to say that it's too late in the day to change the electronic voting system so those demands of yours are not met what are you going to do going forward is the issue of a boycott of the election on the table it's not too late because. there is no where it mentioned that we have to use electronic vote but do we still have time to print to be written. and we are to take what the rules say they didn't tell us that we have to goodwill a clinical vote that's what we are here today to tell our people that we need election. but any kind of election. not chaos we need inclusive and elections and why do you think that there is a possibility that perhaps they're willing party could use this system this

machines to recall election as has been set off but this one this is them a voting machine it was not to use anywhere in the world this is the first time it's congo we've the level of literacy how can we assess that the will however it transparent election that well who said ok let's go to the fundamentals what is the fundamental the fundamental is the law what is the law said you have to use bulletin to vote that's it another issue is just the idea of coming together the opposition to back one single candidate i know you've been involved in talks for that how close people do you think that is possible because that you see that today all of us who are here we have agreed that the we are will have a common candidate that the see we have agreed that my own party we went through the congress and we said that our aim is to have a soul a one

a common candidate to phrase the bill aside and you know there's a lot of pattern of them in the country considering that you know the opposition over the years has been divided that we can everybody wants to be the face of this movement how possible do you think what you think has changed this time the congolese who wants to come on candidates we know dad's side they are moving they're working to divide us but we'll try to keep one unity that's what we're talking about today unity of the opposition. voting machine no trick electoral list voters ten million they have to be removed from their lives rather just thank you you thank. basically. that he mentioned.

that this. electoral commission and that it's not a requirement. that some of these people. are known and the other. people should not be locked out. by the opposition saying that all of these issues have to be addressed before the election. government is considering legalizing witchcraft as a traditional politician say the move will ease the burden on already overcrowded hospitals doctors say the move is irresponsible and dangerous. the latest on our series looking at witchcraft practice is around the world. and here's.

his first patient. from this first hand shake the witchcraft tells him he can sense there's a bad spirit stuck inside his head. here is not surprised he suffers from it has gradually been losing his hearing. been hurting for four years he says . what follows is a treatment that is both illegal and dangerous. it's normally done behind closed doors but const allows us to film it. for twenty minutes the patient inhales fumes of an unknown substance. dazed cuz then pours a mix of herbes in his nose. for. a minute if only the government recognize my work and the service i give to the community i could open a hospital and treat all people suffering in my country this practice is punishable with prison and yet outside our queues of people waiting for treatment there were.

still inside the waiting room where there are about eighty people inside a small room police officers in uniform men in suits women holding their babies all believing that there. can do more to treat them than the medical doctor. with one doctor for fifteen thousand people hospitals are overwhelmed with patients there are not enough medical staff so the government wants to legalise witchcraft tree as traditional medicine the law will now be debated in parliament. he chooses to come in laughing because it is so common that we need to regulate it to protect citizens and alleviate hospitals. but conventional doctors like joseph many oppose the law in his surgery comes another patient suffering from complications from treatment administered by witch doctor. doesn't mean you know

it's dangerous there will be more sickness more people with disabilities and the law will cause unnecessary death you can't have people with any medical knowledge treating. and yet people do advertises his services online promising healing furphy ranging from ten to five hundred dollars. for gary he made this herbal. gives him a prayer wrapped in this belt. in eight days gary will regain his hearing he says telling him now go and tell your friends about me. well that was nicholas hark with the second of al-jazeera three part series looking at practices of witchcraft globally carter's foreign minister says a proposed u.s. sand middle east security alliance won't be credible because of unresolved regional tension last year egypt saudi arabia the u.a.e. and behind enforced a blockade on carter cutting diplomatic economic and political ties but the

country's foreign ministers didn't meet on the sidelines of the un general assembly . reports from new york. where gathering of gold fry vel's this is the first time qatar's foreign minister has come face to face with his counterparts from saudi arabia the u.a.e. and egypt since the four countries imposed a land sea and blockade. in july last year new handshakes no smiles and no news conference at the end of the meeting that lasted almost one hour. two days ago saudi foreign minister. accused qatar of financing extremism adding that his country will be ok even if the crisis goes on for another fifty years but that can wait also but we have to

address the challenges in our region first before we talk we talk about just by going like this diplomacy means communications meaning is engaging and this is why did you feel like you said i was doing was going to ask you a question thank you very much but the war of words between gulf rivals but the united states of america in a difficult position the trump administration is scrambling to put together a regional alliance of countries against iran which she sees as a growing threat in the middle east during the past few days the u.s. has ramped up its rhetoric describing to harang one as the world's leading sponsor of terrorism as far as america is going is a sions dishonest by iran and saudi officials blame iran for destabilizing the whole region and the whole how she would do a month on saudi arabia believes that in order to achieve peace and stability in the middle east what is needed is to deter iran in its subversive policies this is

sectarianism and interference in the internal affairs of the region such aggressive conduct constitutes a glaring breach of all international laws and treaties with sergeant crown prince mohammed bin said and will meet on saturday with the i meet of kuwait who is trying to mediate in the gulf crisis but there's no indication of a breakthrough anytime soon. the u.s. wants to address major challenges in the middle east including eisen wars in yemen syria instability in iraq and what it sees as iran's growing into ones in the region but its chances of building a united front remain slim as long as the g.c.c. quizes considers just iraq new york. now typhoon trami is started to accelerate towards japan's major islands rob can tell us what's going on there that is actually good news it's going fast it isn't got time to pick up too

much energy where asked twenty four hours ago it was just wandering around about this place you know you could keep up with it it's still spinning quite fast and there's a huge i would suggest it's a huge typhoon but it's actually category to the time it would pass or canara this is what a category two storm does there's a certain amount of damage as a certain amount of flooding this was waves pretty high waves to be on and some sort of a storm surge now for a typhoon that is getting a wave that really does not huge amounts of damage no one was killed a few injured but you can see where they are is no it's north of okinawa left behind a fair amount of rain but there's been a lot more right ahead of it on what has been a fairly active frontal system sitting over japan so rain is clearly a problem but if the storm goes quickly of course hasn't got time for too much rain down and the strong winds don't last as long nevertheless this is where it's going to go following more or less that curve it will go across the mainland in the next thirty six hours so by monday morning it's gong it's current winds take it to just

super typhoon position but the way far to thirty meters maybe is the telling thing now in the next twenty four hours it will go cross the main island it starts in q shoe and that is tomorrow morning sunny thanks so much for still ahead of al jazeera gulf honest his name for the first time in over a year but there's no end in sight to the region's crisis. delay and a confirmation vote is the f.b.i. looks to investigate supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh. and in sports some big names fall by the wayside on the opening day china open tennis details coming up with fatah later in the show. we're. i have dedicated almost my entire professional life

watching al-jazeera time to recap our headlines now two earthquakes followed by a tsunami have devastated the central indonesian island of soloway sea nearly four hundred people have been killed in the city and how lou alone rescue workers still haven't been able to reach many areas likely to be badly hit funerals are being held for the seven palestinians including two children who were killed by israeli forces in gaza on friday thousands of people have been rallying along garza's barrier fence with israel as part of protests that began in march. the state of palestine has filed a lawsuit against the u.s. with the international court of justice over the relocation of its embassy last year trump said ministration officially recognized jerusalem as israel's capital

and later moved the u.s. embassy there from tel aviv in may the palestinian foreign minister says that move breached international law he's asking the i.c.j. to alter the u.s. to move it back let's speak now to ralph wilder now a man he's an international lawyer based at university college in london good to have you with us first of all has the issue of palestinian statehood been sufficiently resolved by the i.c.j. for them to move forward with this case. yes so the case will partly hinge on the question of palestinian statehood and that has never been before the international court of justice however the un general assembly. made an important decision to recognize palestine as a nonmember state which then the court will have to address in this

decision since the court's jurisdiction in this case will only be possible if it can conclude that palestine meets the international law test for statehood as far as the court's jurisdiction relates to that and what do you think the likelihood is that the i.c.j. will endorse palestine as a state a nonmember state and that it does have enjoy statehood. statehood in international law is partly determined not only by the facts on the ground but also sometimes in cases that are marginal in fact in a factual sense by the position taken by other states by the recognition of other

states and that decision by the general assembly can be understood as a as an act of collective recognition by all the states who decided to vote in favor of it palestine will be arguing that therefore it is this state for the purposes of this case. an issue which also will be relevant to the separate proceedings also in the hague being considered by the different court the international criminal court and that court's jurisdiction to address the situations that have been put before it both by the prosecutor and also by the state of palestine will depend in part on whether palestine has. a state for the purposes of the rome statute of the international criminal court so now we have these two courts the i.c.c. and the i.c.j.

both having to determine palestine statehood international or for the purposes of their own restriction in any case can the i.c.j. really enforce anything on the u.s. since washington withdrew from the i.c.j. didn't it. so. the u.s. if you're thinking about the international criminal court not the international court of justice the u.s. was never a. fully party to the rome statute that created the i.c.c. but president clinton i understand it was never heard of passage of the ice and sea but during the bush administration right now as i write a lot of the i.c.j. but the international yes. so as far as the international court of justice is concerned there is a parallel situation with the nicaragua case that was brought against the u.s.

in the one nine hundred eighty s. and in that case as perhaps will happen here the u.s. argued that the i.c.j. didn't have jurisdiction and when the courts found that it did have jurisdiction the u.s. then withdrew from one of the particular ways that the court can exercise jurisdiction but there are there are there's more than one way in which the i.c.j. can assert jurisdiction over a dispute and it's not that particular bases of jurisdiction that palestine is invoking here it's a different basis the basis it would seem although we'll see we'll find out more as the case proceeds that palestine is a member of a u.n. specialized agency and that therefore independently gives the i.c.j. jurisdiction over the dispute but what we might see is the u.s. arguing against this and it may take further steps as it did in the neck or argue

a case for example within the u.n. security council to try to impede any decision of the i.c.j. against it all right thank you so much for analysis ralph while there. turkey's president verge of tiber the lion is in the german city of cologne for the opening of one of europe's largest mosques it's day two of his first state visit to germany since becoming president in two thousand and fourteen other than met german chancellor angela merkel on friday and the two agreed to work to mend the relationship that's been strained in recent years but not everyone is happy with this protesters are gathering in cologne to denounce the one suman rights record and his treatment of kurds. let's get the latest now from jonah how in cologne so how is day two on raveling there.

sami were in cologne outside the central mosque behind me there the building surrounded by pro supporters waiting for the turkish president to turn up here and open this mosque said to be the biggest mosque in europe it's it's an event fair to say stirring some very strong feelings in this liberal city home to a large number of muslims a lot of the three million turkish ex-pats live here in cologne many of them attend this mosque the supporters as i say here but elsewhere there are protesters protests angry with the government really the german government rolling out the red carpet for president one angry about human rights abuses in turkey freedom of the press issues of backsliding democracy and the treatment of minorities like the kurds as you said there. this mosque is run by an organization called digits the turkish islamic union for religious affairs it's the biggest umbrella mosque organization here in turkey itself until relatively recently seen as

a sort of symbol of cooperation and integration in this country but among a great deal of other issues that relationship has soured in the last two years since the failed coup attempt in turkey the crackdown in turkey. here this mosque organization is in seen increasingly or criticize for broadcasting the turkish government line for spying on its own attendees looking for opponents of one and rooting them out he is said we're told to be preparing to make a conciliatory address here to talk about the friendship that ties between germany and turkey will conciliation is what this meeting this entire visit was supposed to have been all about but hiding the deep disagreements that exist between these governments has been extremely difficult and it is so again today john of the visit certainly is evoking strong sentiment is the feeling amongst observers there that it's helping to east tensions between the two countries.

well i mean i suspect that will only be judged in the aftermath it has not been an easy visit it was very clear in the press conference yesterday between chancellor merkel and president other one that tensions existed between the two once they highlighted areas of mutual concern and cooperation syria the migration crisis refugees the economy of course turkey's economic crisis germany's banks and businesses badly exposed as its major trading partner there's lots that they're interested in working together on the german politicians and leaders at pains to point out the issues they have with human rights with the jailing of german citizens in turkey with issues to do with democracy and that has clearly annoyed deeply president the one who said yes they we must be treated with respect therefore hands off our judiciary and don't lecture us about democracy so there may be a pragmatic view a pragmatic approach to all of this that sees cooperation in some areas but if

they're going to walk away i suspect they won't walk away great friends after this visit. journo how their thanks so much. in a dramatic turnaround u.s. president dog greed to an f.b.i. investigation into a supreme court nominee facing accusations of sexual assault the limited probe was ordered off the one republican senator jeff flake broke ranks in the senate judiciary committee and demanded an investigation before a full senate vote wasn't enjoying reports from capitol hill the need to know what you're speaking another day of political drama intrigue and emotion on capitol hill only because of brett kavanaugh is nomination to become the next u.s. supreme court justice chief dallying the truth on friday morning two women who call themselves sexual assault survivors confronted arizona republican jeff flake a swing vote on cabinet they called on flake not to allow a man accused of sexual violence to sit on the supreme court after that flake voted

to send kavanagh's nomination to the full senate and he insisted the vote be delayed by a week so that the f.b.i. could investigate several sexual assault charges against the nominee we ought to do what we can to make sure. that we do all due diligence with a nomination this important. shockingly the republican party leadership agree they had been stonewalling similar calls from democrats and survivor groups. what may have helped an apparent change of heart on friday from u.s. president donald trump who had also called such an investigation unnecessary i'm going to let the senate handle that they'll make their decisions and they've been doing a good job and very professional development comes at the end of a contentious hearing to recommend kavanagh's nomination with demonstrators getting arrested and senators walking out in protest the big argument whether the

republican controlled panel was taking seriously christine blazin ford's allegation that cavanaugh tried to rape her in one nine hundred eighty two democrat. said the panel was ignoring blazin ford because it wasn't demanding an f.b.i. investigation when it came to these allegations they wanted to cut off that process and you have to ask ron i have to ask them but republican said kavanagh's previous f.b.i. background checks never found any signs he sexually assaulted women and so there was no need for a new investigation all i can say about ms ford i feel sorry for her and i do believe something happened to her and i don't know when and where but i don't believe it was brett kavanaugh congressional republicans and president donald trump say this new f.b.i. investigation can only focus on what they call credible allegations that certain to set off a whole new world of arguments with the russians all democrats what is certain

though is that public pressure to find out whether brett kavanaugh ever assaulted any woman has yielded results at least for now rosalind jordan al-jazeera capitol hill. there's just six months to go until britain leaves the e.u. and no one knows whether a deal is even possible prime minister it's the reason may well get a taste of just how fractious the issue is policies annual conference gets underway on sunday but says col making giant towards it will stall u.k. production in the event of a no deal brags it has more. britain's on the final strait of breaks it but negotiations are in deadlock the use explicitly rejected britain's latest plan their suggested framework for the corporation will not work we will never accept a deal which will damage z. european union to resume a proposal was hammered out of her country retreat checkers in july it was the result of months of work the plan calls for u.k. e.u.
