people are confirmed dead a figure expected to rise substantially recovery efforts are taking place across central sort of ways the province. spanish police and demonstrators have been fighting in basra known as catalonia marks one year since the referendum on independence protesters want more action from the council on the regional government to push for secession. the deadlines passed for palestinians to leave the village to make way for illegal jewish settlements in the occupied west bank and israel ordered the bedouins to. by midnight on monday honesty international says it's a war crime to forcibly remove them. ok let's go back now to our top story and the disaster in indonesia i'm told this is in totally it's on the way to part of the city i'm sure we were hearing from our correspondent jamila onondaga earlier on about the problems that the government and the rescue services are facing in some think getting to the area that's been affected give us some indication of what it's like for you on. we're in
2:02 pm
a sense you've got the perfect snapshot here we along with ambulances trucks carrying digging equipment military people are all stuck in a traffic jam about twenty five kilometers out of power and the reason we're stuck is about four kilometers further up this road there's been yet another landslide there was an earthquake overnight another one on monday into tuesday in the early hours now whether it was that that sent the rocks and boulders on the road we don't know but it may well have done but either way four kilometers from where i'm standing the road has been blocked for about the last four hours just in the last three minutes two ambulances have come down through this traffic so i imagine and i'm looking about across the valley about four kilometers in that direction i can see now what appears to be most advice at least and other emergency vehicles coming down the road so it does look as though the digging equipment got up there that that road has reopened but in a sense it's less about what is happening right here and more about the bigger
2:03 pm
picture of all this i trying to get into part of a different direction. really against that situation as i say emergency workers are in traffic jams like this military people digging in their own trying to get the pollard but only a limited amount of activity. coming down to going out they're going to burst to get through and then in theory the vehicles will follow but we've been here for hours now and many in this traffic jam have spent longer than that but i'm directing imagine that one of the other problems is the fact that there will be people who are trying to get to the area simply to find members of the families and friends who have been lost and affected by what's happened there what's the mood like amongst the crowds of people who have been trying to get their necks out there with you. it's very somber reflection actually you know we've been here with the same people now to four hours and they are desperately worried about relatives most of the vehicles you can see around me carrying learned people
2:04 pm
in things that every single one of these cars is full of water and food because if i do find relatives if they do find missing or if they're simply going to try to get things in there which we want to bring things with them so a very somber mood and frustration of course as well this should normally be from the coastal city that we pass through just about twenty minutes further down the mountain road to follow should normally be a drive of about an hour but as i say so far it's taken us by we're expecting a long drive from here probably not a free hour there's not many more hours than that and all these people have got relatives in. real concern among them so i was. really not. very very somber mood of the people desperately trying to get in and. people are leaving. the city. but. thankfully i have to write down the middle but i think it. has now been cleared
2:05 pm
i don't know we're going to be checking in with you as you try to make your journey towards probably but for now thanks very much indeed. the number of suspected cholera cases in yemen is port city of hadera has almost tripled between june and august the charity save the children says heavy fighting has damaged sewage systems about one million people in northern yemen are living on the verge of famine in makeshift camps there in an area controlled by who the rebels and smith reports from neighboring djibouti. you can safely bet with a spoon at the ready this girl is thinking of her next meal but she doesn't know when it will be where it will come from in northern yemen as many as a million people are living in camps beyond the reach of aid groups while yemen isn't officially in a state of famine it must feel like it here. lunch has been cooking for two hours and it's not ready yet we have no gas or proper firewood we are under siege and we have nothing some of these camps have been here for four years sprouting up as

2:07 pm
a famine and there are three million children and new mothers in yemen battling malnutrition but declaring a famine makes no difference to people trapped in areas out of the reach of aid groups because of conflict they need a ceasefire and that might only come when the warring parties sit down until bernard smith al-jazeera djibouti. the u.k.'s minister for braggs it says his government is preparing for a no deal divorce from europe just weeks ahead of a crunch meeting with the e.u. leaders the u.k. is due to leave the block by march that's deep division within the governing conservative party which is holding its annual conference in the city of birmingham where lawrence leave reports. we're told the points of brecht's it is to make britain grace again restore some rule britannia and victorian global significance first top then the people who say the only way is to jettison entirely the european projects they talk of swashbuckling trade agreements with mexico in china we know

2:22 pm
government also this week a coffee fix calls for consumers to wake up to challenges the coffee farmers. class twenty look at how the search engine which changed the internet impacts our lives. of this week german conglomerate siemens said it's in discussions to help get iraq's power grid up and running iraqis how the elections in may and the country's in the process of forming a new government so the timing is interesting since the defeat of i saw last year there have been widespread protests about the breakdown in public services rebuilding efforts in iraq have been slow it's estimated that one hundred billion dollars is needed for reconstruction in the next ten years iraq's allies pledged thirty billion dollars a donor conference in february a part of the problem is ensuring the un corrupt use of the country's oil wealth
2:23 pm
and reconstruction funding nevertheless there has been some progress rob matheson rip. boards now from baghdad on a railway project underway in fallujah. to shining rails stretch the west from baghdad snaking through the desert for fifty seven kilometers by the other end is the city of fallujah accessible once again to rail travelers that. flew just today is not like flew in the past the railroad is a sign of life getting back to normal after getting rid of. these wheel tracks were closed when i saw fighters swept through the west of iraq in two thousand and fourteen. when iraqi railways reopens the baghdad the fallujah line we didn't think of the economic benefit this is a message of peace to the people of fallujah after the dark days when eisel used to rule those parts. after the defeat of isobel have been roads that have been
2:24 pm
open between baghdad but the fact that the security checks on that journey can take anything up to several hours but this train doesn't stop for checkpoints. the journey between baghdad and fallujah takes just fifty five minutes by railway and the high cost of fuel means traveling by road is more expensive. basic train tickets for a one way journey cost just under two dollars. is nothing but what about going by the train is much easier we avoid traffic jams many checkpoints across the highway or even deadly car accidents it's also much cheaper than road transport. when the train arrives in fallujah fifty seven kilometers may not seem far but this reopen track is a milestone for iraq's railways. but joining me now from london is she. is a fellow at kings college and the managing director of can do cheek consulting good to have you with us so from the protests in the south it looks like
2:25 pm
a pretty urgent situation how urgent is the electricity crisis from an economic perspective thank you well the electricity crisis in iraq is not one issue that can be resolved overnight there's a compounding spontaneous issues with electricity except for example if you look at the. the power generation and demand completely or with each other especially at peak time if you look at the in the heat of summer for example the month of july there's almost fifty percent shortages in the electricity generation two why is that to my why is this such you know why they such odds with each other why is lectures degrade in such a bad shape to start off with in such an oil rich country well other say there's a plenty of issues i mean one of the main issues for me is they found that the business model for electricity sector in europe doesn't work it doesn't work for
2:26 pm
example it's all government owned there's no enough investment coming into the sector and secondly the government who sort of manages the electricity sector doesn't really collect enough from the consumers when you say you know not enough money is coming in officially forty billion u.s. dollars has been allocated to the power sector over the last what fifteen years where does that money go well if you look at the i mean iraq generally the corruption is sort of eight in the country i live for example if you look at them very good example you mentioned the protests not only electricity even water hasn't been managed to be provided although despite millions billions of dollars are being spent on the sector to try to revive that because of the the way the bureaucracy works and that they get the. corruption you have this one not believe from the private local small power generator very polluting very noisy in
2:27 pm
a neighborhood which charge extortionate amounts of money given what you said then can the solution be you know it's been suggested building more siemens power stations for example which can convert or rely on the conversion of flag gas if the problem is corruption if the problem is much deeper than simply not enough supply of electricity it's waste corruption eccentric store shin racketeering doesn't sound like something you can solve with more flare conversion gas stations definitely a lot i think. the recent news about siemens. bring in three hundred thousand bring electricity to three hundred thousand iraqis is a very welcome news the problem is as eventually you can increase. powered power generation but then the demand increase because the consumer doesn't take responsibility at the same time if you know if you're not paying your bills you wouldn't be keeping tabs on how much how much electricity you use so the more you
2:28 pm
increase generation the consumption grows up and given the iraqi population is growing at a fast rate. this catch up game is just never works i was at an iraqi reconstruction conference in coate last year where around thirty billion u.s. dollars was committed to help iraq particularly with its infrastructural problems if any of that money actually materializing. not really no i think and that's a testament to itself that investors international community are willing to help investors are willing to invest because iraq as you mentioned there's a huge wealth or oil wealth is coming through especially when now with high all prices however when investors go to iraq and look at the regulator environment look at the way. how sluggish the bureaucracy is most investors at the end give up i mean for example they are good ideas they are good projects exam this solar which is you know can resolve
2:29 pm
a lot of the issues especially in the south there is plenty of sun in iraq there's no footage of it and the peak demand usually in iraq in the summer months in during the afternoon where the sun is blazing so air conditioning can easily be in a sun can easily be converted to power our air conditioning or our slats thanks very much sean's allow thank you for your a comments on this thank you u.s. president donald trump second round of iran sanctions targeting all exports are due to kick in november and the e.u. has come up with an idea a special purpose vehicle a legal payments tool to help companies continue trading in buying oil from iran russia and china also one thing but it's unclear how it will work shihab rattansi has more from washington d.c. . the e.u. was reported to have been discussing what it calls a special purpose of vehicles for several weeks the e.u. foreign policy chief said it would be going ahead e.u.

member states will set up a legal entity to facilitate legitimate financial transactions with iran and this will allow european companies to continue to trade with iran in accordance with european union low and could be open to other partners in the what the plans discussed in the past have involved an entity being set up to act as a go between or clearing house which we know iran and other nations to facilitate commercial transactions for example if a country or company wants to buy iranian oil it would send money to or perhaps engage in a barter system involving this entity which will handle the transaction with iran the same were true in reverse for iran's dealings with the rest of the world the idea is to bypass commercial and central banks who are fearful of being frozen out of the us financial system if they help circumvent the new sanctions being imposed by the trumpet ministration against iran in the vendor however the details have yet to be worked out and there is some skepticism that the system will work especially
2:31 pm
given the large number of european companies already curtailing their business dealings with iran. those meeting at the un also announced that iran remained in compliance with the nuclear deal and pledged their commitment to remain participants. still to come on counting the cost argentina gets the biggest loan in the i.m.f. history. but first google is celebrating turning twenty years old began as a simple search engine is now technology giant which is revolutionize the world and the way we do things rob reynolds reports from mountain view california in just a few minutes but first here's charlotte ballasts with a quick snapshot of the rise of google. let's start in menlo park california where google was born on september the twenty seventh one thousand nine hundred ninety eight working out of susan we're just now the c.e.o. of you tube so brin and larry page launched a search engine unlike any other the stanford graduate students decide to list
