access was present the shoes that you are using and the height is the attitude now is reason means you're going to access to those who are really most in the document you. would your job easier if these allegations were not circulating saying the early warning system either didn't work properly or it wasn't used properly and they are just claims but there is a sense of frustration on the ground for some of the people who survived this indeed and then where did their house their station on the ground taking the drawing attention from all of us why are they interested what the national response under crisis is first a focus of the humanitarian needs and to see how we might support and getting urgent needs to do is who are injured are those who have lost their houses their whole lives and those who need access to this name critical of humanitarian assistance and. ok i need to know wrote it thank you very much thank you very much

. we move on there's a new threat to the people of her data in yemen suspected cases of cholera have almost tripled this past summer the port city is at the center of a fierce battle between the saudi an erotic coalition and the rebels a save the children report says that there were one thousand three hundred forty two cholera cases in august up from fewer than five hundred in the month of june according to the world health organization thirty percent of the cases are children under the age of five but smith joins us live from across the red sea in neighboring djibouti bernard why is there been this bike in color of cases. pretty save the children pin this on two particular incidents first of all the rainy season in july and august when there would be expected to be a spike in cholera but also particularly the destruction in an air strike of one of the main water supply water treatment facilities in her data the plies most of her data city the water got contaminated after that and not is where most of the

infection in the cholera seems to have been contracted from those infected water supplies unicef incidentally said that they fear there could be now a third wave of a much larger color cholera outbreak in yemen and they say they have been they think some ass trying to deliberately targeted water facilities is an island just off the data where they cite five wells have been blown up in a strike another ten have been destroyed and in the north of yemen colors out breaking into data in the north of yemen we've had severe malnutrition these are areas of the country where aid groups find it very very difficult to get any aid through in the last four years and one aid worker made it up there told al jazeera she found many people that had just given up online. 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 age 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 here under siege and we have nothing some of these crimes have been here for four years sprouting up as people escaped fighting in towns fell under who the control let's say i don't go to school because my father has no money to buy a sports and pings when i see girls come from school i get jealous i want to be a doctor aid agencies so a combination of armed groups checkpoints airstrikes and bureaucracy often make it impossible to reach these people. we appeal again to the international and humanitarian organizations to respond rapidly to displaced people and effective community many of whom sleep on the ground out in the open with no shelter from the summer heat or the called of the winter today's only mirrors a plate of plain boiled rice between the family and some days there's not even this

it's nowhere near the amount of nutrition these children need if they're to have any chance of surviving through this conflict but a tell us how do they stop the color of spreading if it's got such a grasp on these people already. well the biggest challenge for save the children and other aid groups is getting in the right treatment fairly easy to treat cholera the issue is getting in what people need to die or a lot of these sort of rehydration salts the sort of material that the aid groups need to get in there the problem with getting any aid in to all a lot of a lot of yemen is simply conflict the aid groups need a cease fire they say ceasefire is the only way they can really ramp up the delivery of aid but to get a cease fire you need to get the warring parties around the table no indication of that yet but that is why the u.n. special representative for yemen says his priority in the coming weeks to try and get those warring parties around the table peter thanks very much.

a spokesman for save the children he told us earlier how serious the crisis is on the ground. our team spoke to a mother of two who suffers from acute watery diarrhea and their whole family is forced to drink water from an open and a dirty well because they just don't have any other choice and her husband hasn't been paid a salary for over a year and so they don't even have enough money to buy their cooking gas to boil the contaminated water that they that they collect and this story is repeated hundreds of thousands of times across yemen this is not a unique story so we need to get clean water to these communities and to these families but we also need to urge the warring parties to come to the negotiating table in good faith and actually find a political solution because they're losing an entire generation of children. well hundreds of yemenis meanwhile are protesting in the western city of tire use

percent has already been redistributed according to one local union most of the farmland in namibia is still owned by the minority white population. toby is a human rights lawyer and the author of the land is ours south africa's first black lawyers and the birth of a constitution he joins us now from johannesburg back or you could toby there are people who are claiming the outcome of this conference is pre-determined is it. no it's not pretty determined that's the very point of the conference to begin with but of course the premises for the conference are highly contentious the two main questions that have to be resolved at the end of the conference the first question is that a turn of traditional lent and the second issue that has to be determined is the pace at which the farmland is that are distributed to and the millions that are

indigenous currently landless so it's open for contestation but it is highly intractable. but the government's line is there was the leak or a leak of a so-called position paper which detailed the government's position on this when the government found out about the leak the government said people had seen the wrong position paper. yes i understand that but that is a question of did too we've got to look at this in the broad historical context and if we look at it in broad historical context what we know about the maybe is that although five percent of that country's population comprises the descendants of german settlers and some afrikaners they currently are all about seventy percent of

commercial farmland and the question is how is that going to be distributed across without reference to race and without regard to the question of historical position now the government is entitled to go to any conference with a position but it's not entitled to go to a conference and to fix up on that position and to refuse to be moved from that position so rather than debating whether or not there was a fixed position by the government we should be debating the primary question how is the historical crisis about land in namibia going to be resolved. now namibia of course as we are debating now is a unique situation but at the end of the day we've got to look at land as a original question rather than as another national question a question of land in namibia in south africa and in zimbabwe is still reflective of colonial power relations and that is the true issue that must be resolved so

this is in fact the time that we in south africa where we. are debating how are we going to resolve the legacy of colonialism and how are we going to resolve the enjoyment. of such a colonialism and so it seems to me that we have to be focusing on the broader question as to how is the namibia land issue going to be resolved signing people are just let me answer actually there first a little glimmer is a solution to what is mild point from a very very briefly how does the government therefore absorb all the views that will come out of this conference and take that and boil that down into a fair situation for everyone. yes i think of the men issue that the government should be focusing on is here in the views from below upwards the critical problem what the government has made a mistake on is to concentrate and to focus too much on the views of the landless

so what the government ought to be doing is to work and seriously about getting the views of the landless and that this was asked and the disenfranchised so it is a critical problem that both the landless and the traditional leaders have expressed their our disagreement with some aspects of the conference or if the best is that i would be passing because i'm also going to the conference on thursday if there's any message that our passing is the necessity of getting the views from below all in the listening to what the solution is and not assuming that the people with the land have the solutions to the problem understood turn back thank you so much. more than sixty two thousand brazilians have died as a result of violent crimes in the last year breaking a record of homicides in the country increases largely because of rival drug gangs battling for territory as mariana sanchez now explains from rio. you know the military operation in the streets of rio this is what poor brazilians in

hundreds of slums of them are going through do you do you how. you see another genius is they're living in fear. and i need to check if there are any shoot outs before i leave my home sometimes i am not able to go to work and the kids clothes go to school it's not safe. receiving michelle to thousands of soldiers and military police to break up organized crimes control of the favelas since the military intervention started in february and then eight hundred people have been killed in confrontations with security forces the military has been doing operations in. well of like this one for six months but human rights organizations say there have been changes but for the worse the number of shootings have increased by at least forty percent endangering civilians. even brazilians who live in protected compounds are afraid. are ready to move to portugal with their fifteen

month old daughter a morning just interviewing going to mean a fish i have seen robberies shootings then your situations that i don't need to go through we live in a garden area but i don't want to live in this golden cage. the justice ministry says twenty one thousand brazilians left the country last year because of the violence. seventeen of brazil's major cities are among the most dangerous in the world experts say the government is staking the wrong approach. that our good result chooses to combat the drug trade with general repression and not by investigating the criminal organizations to track the money and the weapons. the violence has been growing since the economic crisis hit the country four years ago as a result sixty six percent of brazilians favor security operations but some say civilians in the slums are getting the wrong message see to. get if you position

a tank in front of the favela and send in thousands of soldiers you are saying you are the enemy whether they are supporter not we think this is illegal it is wrong and immoral. critics say military operations have always been unsuccessful but until a new president takes office in january they will continue and poor brazilians will have to live in the crossfire unable to leave money on a sanchez i just pleo the janay to. bolivia has lost a legal battle to force chile to give access to the pacific ocean the leaders of both nations travel to the netherlands for hearing of the international court of justice. as coastline to chile in a war one hundred thirty five years ago the stories about. from early in the morning these people in the capital abbas waited for a ruling that they claim would help landlocked bolivia regain what it's not had for well over a century access to the pacific ocean. one of those in the crowd they made

daniel said he was bitterly disappointed with the ruling one of the gilmore. we only want to be able to sit at the same typo and to negotiate. five years ago believe us president he will want allie's to chile. to the international court of justice in an attempt to force his country's neighbor to negotiate over access to seal its link to the ocean was lost to chile in the aftermath of what was dubbed the war of the pacific. since then the andean neighbors have held occasional talks about a possible corridor to the sea but judges ruled that chile is not obliged to actually negotiate one for this reason is. because. by too early voters two or three five days that the republican of chile did not undertake a legal obligation to negotiate a sovereign access to the bus if we kosha for the brewery nation of the state of

bolivia. even what alice bolivia's first indigenous president attended the call truly in the hague and said his country will never stop fighting for sea it. is never going to give up its prosecution the bolivian people know the people of the world know that through an invasion we've been denied so often access to the pacific ocean. for the last forty years and will leave you have not had formal diplomatic relations. in spite of this allows bolivia duty free access to the port of poti near its northern border with. just. insists on continuing on that path to access chilean territory sea or land then we will have nothing to discuss but if bolivia understands that treaties assigned so that they are honored they will always have the door open. for now that door to the pacific will not be

controlled by will live yeah it's fight to break the landlock it's not just about national pride it's about delivering opportunity and economic growth. experts from one hundred fifty countries are meeting in malaysia to discuss the latest scientific breakthroughs on cancer the world health organization says cancer is the world's second biggest killer every six deaths in the world is from cancer related diseases and it says one third of cancer deaths are a result of our behavior like smoking or drinking too much and eating badly up to half of cancers could be avoided with a more healthy lifestyle sanchia rhonda as president of the union for international cancer control she says wider political will is required to address the problem. so what we're saying is as countries rise up the development index cancer becomes one of those diseases that is more prevalent and the absence of early detection systems

so particularly screening for bell breast and cervical cancers and inherently the infrastructure to provide surgery right therapy and came with therapy manes that most people are diagnosed late and therefore don so we see the biggest. difference in something like childhood cancer where in a developed country the survival is between eighty and ninety percent and in the least developed parts of the world survival is less than twenty percent and those those differences are just not acceptable we say some political will around things like tobacco control and that's a really important strategy but cancer treatments acing as being too expensive and part of their treatment for campaign is to show that this economic benefits in preventing premature mortality for the social systems it's one cancer and other. things that tip people into poverty and they listen able to be productive citizens

and in addition to that we also have a city cancer challenge that's running that shows how you can bring governments civil society and the private sector together to create solutions at a city level that really can make these treatments available at an affordable cost . no in some of the most prosperous cities in one of the richest nations in the world many americans live in poverty unable to find affordable housing for more than a century thousands have been spared from homelessness by an expensive single room hotels john hendren reports now from chicago. for many this is the difference between home and homelessness have been this place it gave me a broad vision only lie the rumors about the size of the prison cell ernest roberts once occupied but for less than five hundred dollars this diminutive dome is sile his home they make him productive citizens out of people and there was a call was this place it put
