4:02 pm
in the region nobel committee has decided to award the nobel peace prize for twenty eighteen to dennis mcclure yeah and now german rod for their efforts to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war and armed conflict. both laureates have made a crucial contribution to focusing attention on and combating such war crimes. dennis is the hill who has devoted his life to defending these victims. is the witness who tells of the abuses perpetrated against her and others each of them in their own way. to give great visibility
4:03 pm
to war times. so that the perpetrator is. accountable for their actions. from human rights watch and she says the nobel committee is sending a message to the victims of sexual assault they shouldn't have to wait for justice any longer this recognition is so badly needed you know any iraq also in syria you have thousands and thousands of women who are victim to abuse by this including sex slavery and other forms of sexual violence these women to date have not seen any day in court have not had access to justice in iraq and courts and they're still waiting so today this is the thinking all from the nobel peace prize committee that these women should not have to wait any longer or most of the community that stayed inside iraq and has not physically left the country is living
4:04 pm
in northern iraq they are living most families in camps settings these are camps where conditions are getting worse every year as humanitarian aid is diverted to other areas other crises these are also camps where you have dwindling resources for things like psychosocial support psychosocial support is one of the most important ways to help women particularly as you said you see the women who were held by by these fighters word used to effect slaves and experience such severe trauma that they're still now years later struggling to process the trauma. and al jazeera will have the first exclusive interview with the nobel peace prize winners after they receive their awards in december. thousands of women and children held after the defeat of i saw in iraq are being held in detention facilities human rights watch as nations to. hold fair trials for those accused of being associated
4:05 pm
with the armed group. has more for all came on the iraqi syrian border. the children in a nice or camp in syria tease each other and play like most others their age but because their family members lived there i saw they are not treated like ordinary children their movements are restricted just like their mothers who were married twice and fighters are supporters. could they do is among them she was brought to syria by her husband now for the journey her children cannot go home to his you know he can my husband used to fight in aleppo and he was killed there i saw brought us to a hostel which was run by cruel woman one woman even gave birth in a toilet but she wasn't allowed medical help no one could go outside if they were not married i married this injured man needed someone to take care of him we decided to flee but the trafficker took us to a kurdish area we were arrested the woman comes come from around forty countries almost all share similar stories. to live in what i still called its color for
4:06 pm
after the group took control of large parts of syria and iraq but everyone who lived with the group is now seen as an accomplice. this eerie and teacher says her first husband was killed by the syrian government and she remarried a moroccan man so her three children would be taken care of we have nothing to do in the now i says we don't care about them they are very bad people you know and they put my in prison my husband and one month in prison and i don't know which prison he is all the time i was looking for him and they told me just go back to home you are a woman it's forbidden to go alone you know the reason why they imprisoned him it's just for smoking you are thinking that you are flowing from hell to her. i've been there and you know actually we are in another hell it's miserable situation here. some iraqi and syrian women have been sentenced to death for their alleged crimes but rights workers say finding women guilty by association is not a fair process first and foremost trials should be fair there's no there's no way
4:07 pm
around that i mean we can start from the assumption that trials will be fair and examine talking about international rights you have a right to ask a fair trial anywhere you u.s. forces have trained fighters from the syrian democratic force on how to treat prisoners and some efforts are underway to repair treat at least some of the women and children it's a difficult situation and very tragic expression for the children i know a lot of countries have expressed interest in bringing the children back to their country depending on where the fighters are from but right now that problem still needs to be saw rather than just putting them in a camp but many countries do not want anything to do with the people who lived under rice all rights activists see injustice breeds contempt and instability and the danger from a lack of free trial and indifference from home countries is a continuing cycle of vengeance and not something that groups such as i still have taken advantage of some of the data on the iraq syria border. and turns on saturday for part three of osama bin job or ports from home while
4:08 pm
a look at rebuilding efforts in towns destroyed by fighters. we've got plenty more still ahead here on the news hour including a growing diplomatic crisis between turkey and saudi arabia of the disappearance of a prominent journalist. why a court in south korea has sentenced a former president to fifteen years in prison. and in sport to. voice concerns about rape allegations against the footballer. exactly one week ago today this is an earthquake and tsunami struck in the days since the scale of the humanitarian catastrophe has only grown we have extended look now at the situation in indonesia and the efforts to bring aid to the tens of thousands of people struggling with the often mouth of this disaster. at five pm
4:09 pm
last friday a magnitude seven point five earthquake struck indonesia just north of the city of palu on the island it was so powerful that it generated a tsunami warning boys didn't detect the huge waves as they roared towards palu bay the largest waves first struck the town of dongola before it flooded south hitting the city of. at five twenty two pm now this is the moment that it hit the coastline waves as high as six meters pushing. six hundred and fifty thousand people but some two point five million live in the area hit by the earthquake and tsunami more than sixty six thousand homes were washed away and only seventy one thousand displaced left scrambling for basic supplies the death toll has jumped from the hundreds to more than a thousand in the week hospitals are overwhelmed with the more than twenty five
4:10 pm
hundred people who have been critically ill when they begins our coverage from a camp in part it's been set up for some of the thousands who've been displaced. difficult to believe isn't it that it's been a week already since that disaster since the earthquake and tsunami as you mentioned that destroyed so many homes killing so many people particularly the tsunami that rolled down the coast taking everything with it before crashing into the city all still so much going on there is a search and rescue mission that is of course still underway right around the effected areas although as each day has passed it's increasingly turned into a search for bodies rather than a search for survivors still so many communities around the disaster zone crying out for help saying that they have not received substantial assistance in the form of aid from the outside and then the homeless as you mentioned the government saying around seventy one thousand people rendered homeless other estimates put it
4:11 pm
at around three hundred thousand many of them sleeping now out in the open in areas like this waiting for substantial assistance. people here escaped the earthquake and tsunami but the fight for survival goes on in palo parks have become refugee camps for those who have nowhere else to go their houses were destroyed many family members killed. yan and now they use whatever they can find to build shelters while still struggling to comprehend what's happened to them. a lot of my sister was trapped and they're all they managed to get her out but she died my mother in law is still missing. i mean there is some food being given out by our own but it's well short of what's needed there's still a lack of basic supplies around the affected areas including here in the heart of parlors city where people have been camping for
4:12 pm
a week despite all the money from the indonesian government and all the offers of assistance from foreign governments no one's been able to supply the people here with temporary toilets or adequate shelter and part of this camp is on the grounds of the mayor's office though sheltering here say he's only been to see them once when the indonesian president was in town we asked the mayor for an interview but his staff declined the refugees say die a grateful for the land to sleep on but they need more help i'm going out at eight that i can tell you there are some toilets over there but they are full of excrement so i eat only once a day so i don't have to go maybe everyone is ok at the moment but if they don't sort it out we will have to hear some people are waiting for space on military flights out others say they have nowhere to fly to everyone is scared of more earthquakes and wondering when or if they'll be able to go home. so clearly some desperate situation some desperate scenes in areas like this where people are
4:13 pm
camping out as is always the case in situations natural disasters like this some of the most vulnerable children and with me now to talk more about this is the baby from save the children thank you for joining us so what are you seeing out there. in affected by this disaster we had in. more than forty thousand children out are protected by disease. some of them already been transported from this place to the nearby city and then we are just. one hundred children are. being displaced and experience. all of them have experience. and also some of them already suffered from these psychological distress so a lot of concerns going forward in the weeks months and years ahead what are some
4:14 pm
of the vulnerabilities in the immediate aftermath of a disaster when we're talking about children. been separated from their parents and then we tried to register and then doing the family tracing and a new creation for them and obviously you're specifically involved with children with save the children but a lot of criticism of the government's performance in response to this disaster that it's been slow people haven't received enough aid if any why is it seemingly taking so long in your opinion. the access is the biggest challenge just to reach those affected by tsunami. yes and that's one of the concerns that we couldn't manage. and distribute the supplies on that area and it's improving now it's improving the government actually dropped the
4:15 pm
supplies by air and also we. have been or so i think all been all right thank you very much that is a baby coaching from save the children clearly doing a very important job we mentioned criticism. the government one of the main ones has been a lack of heavy equipment here from the outset rarely to begin clearing away the rubble to speed up the search and rescue operation and the recovery operate operation right now the government says from departments it has eighteen excavates is in the disaster areas continuing that work there are some from private companies as well helping but the government says it needs hundreds more to continue with that work effectively well let's go now to my colleague andrew thomas who is across town in part of city outside the rural hotel which is one of the most severely damaged buildings still some people missing inside that building and drew you have
4:16 pm
traveled around some of these disaster areas over the past week what's your sense of how the government has handled the response well talking to family members of who are missing the response has not been fast enough as you say when the earthquake struck exactly one week ago now this hotel the row row row what is now left of it with one of the buildings most badly damaged there are between fifty and seventy people inside when it collapsed no one to know exactly how many so raw and the search operation which so that was quite saying and watching has been painfully slow so the bodies have been pulled out but they're going through the operation have been too slow and they got going much too slowly as well i think it got going faster i think more lives could have rethought. store row row hotel they're still digging and still finding bodies after the horn sounds the machinery briefly stops
4:17 pm
and the body bag is carried out but it's not debbie one side as husband he is still somewhere inside last friday he was staying at the hotel on business the couple spoke to in the afternoon three hours later their worlds collapsed. and his son drove eighteen hours straight here. when we arrived there was nothing going on even though we could hear people crying for help some local people tried to help using their hands but they couldn't do much without machinery. have now spent six days sitting by the hotel waiting while we were talking the horn sounded again another body had been found but it was another lady's mother and very disappointing from the government of little us are so very late about how more lives could have been saved if they'd go ahead yes i'm sure
4:18 pm
indonesia's government says it brought in twenty one heavy machines to the loo on friday forty six in total since last friday when it's running this operation seems unprofessional but the search started lights and even now it starts each night at nine and we cannot do what i was. we hope that we have more. professionals here just the first of the same lessons must be learnt. without issue of not being able to search after dark has real consequences another hotel why that was really badly affected in the earthquake is the mc you're about two or three kilometers away from where i'm standing and when they were searching about twenty four hours ago now i branched team of specialists sense into very high tech equipment you know why point some way and they thought they detected a heartbeat but it was about this time yesterday
4:19 pm
a couple of hours earlier because it was getting dark they couldn't do any active searching well they say that may have been a false positive their machinery may have given them an era but nevertheless they had to stop for the night when they went back this morning and then that same clever machinery in trying to text signs of life there were none and that's what were you both who we saw around this hotel that they seen in previous days the well but the search operations got going too slowly and they're not going even now at a fast enough pace mine yes certainly a devastating story there the one about the make your hotel one of many of course that we have come across over the course of the past week thank you andrew well we talk about the homelessness there is also nothing for people to do here there is no work the city the affected areas have largely really being closed been shut down since the disaster struck on friday a week ago and that's partly why we have seen so many people those amazing scenes
4:20 pm
at airports thousands of people lining up there waiting for hours trying to get a place on one of the military planes that is getting people out of the disaster areas well let's go now to ellen dogon who is also in. thing shopping mall in palu also severely damaged remember we saw the indonesian president joko widodo in challen twice over the past week he said one of the main priorities is to restart the economy are we starting to see signs of that or is it fun to really talk about those sorts of things well when we're seeing that we're seeing economic movements little by little but i guess what we're seeing is just a response to the needs the emergency response needs of the people here of those who need to respond to the needs of those have been displaced so i am at a one of the many shopping complexes there have been destroyed here in palo i'm going to step aside and just show you the magnitude of the devastation of this
4:21 pm
shopping complex this is just thinking the main street here in for lou and this is part of a big shopping complex as you can see the third floor is completely caved in and it's happened exactly a week ago at this time when mom operations are busy yes there had been looting attempts at losing over the last few days and now this has been basically taken under control by state forces they have just started clearing operations the main area the main entrance of the building complex has been slowly being cleared they're pulling out cars that have been stuck now this whole thing is under control of the minute she should know they have rescuers have not actually access that mall yet no one has been taken out of their retrieval and rescue operations has not started so you can just imagine the agony of so many families waiting for news
4:22 pm
about their loved ones now when that situation is similar all across by little other neighboring districts we drove around coastal areas communities bridges homes schools mosques whole lives. but then you talk about reconstruction it's just not going to be in one year alone it's all about raising one community to another one and as you mentioned you know the issue of the schools basically the vice president actually mentioned earlier that they intend to rebuild and open schools within the next month that emergency operations are going to continue for the next two months and they will continue bringing in more help as much as possible we're seeing foreign volunteers coming in here and getting involved but what we see basically is indonesian government leading all of these operations a lot of missionaries going around trying to clear the days we really expect that to happen many months but then again that's just the clearing part of the
4:23 pm
reconstruction the rebuilding phase is something that is going to last for years and that is something that even the indonesian government. jim thank you very much yes there is still an old whole lot of work to do as i mentioned the search and rescue operation still very much going on even though the cries for help the signs of life slowly but surely over the course of the past week have faded away. or military planes from around twenty countries a flying to indonesia with much needed aid and counsel as one of those countries delivering supplies seventy deca takes a look at the operations. the international aid effort to bring in thing here and now we are in doha qatar capital and this that you haven't heard in a minute time for me and here are some images airport what they're doing at the moment and they're loading it with the aid of course this is desperately needed
4:24 pm
it's a week off for that tsunami and earthquake hit the indonesian island of the lazy so they're bringing in tents they have medicine here you can see their year and drainage pockets written on one of them off so they have also heard much needed medicine medical supplies water food items so this is one of the efforts that is now underway of course lots of challenges still remain because of the the power of the earthquake and the devastation is that it's very difficult to get to these remote places so this is now going to be flown into jakarta into the capital of indonesia and then going to be taken to the more remote places and of course tens of thousands of people still remain without shelter so these kinds of efforts desperately needed but still remaining very very difficult to get this stuff to those who need it folks. let's take a look now at some wise powerful images from still ways the island over the past seven day.
4:25 pm
4:26 pm
a schedule the weather now and has covered that's right we're going to be talking tropics first of all the north north asia where we have trouble let's take a look what's happening right now here is a silent image as it was passing over the rio islands now okinawa has seen a very. very active season with just one last week but right now this is on its way to be making landfall in the korean peninsula i want to show you what the current
4:27 pm
winds are with this particular storm one hundred kilometer per hour winds gusting to what one thirty but it is moving quite quickly up here towards the north what that means is we're still going be seeing quite a bit of. winds with the storm but because it's moves so quickly we're not going to be seeing the rain with the storm so that is good news right there also what is happening here in the arabian sea take a look at all the clouds right here we have a formation and we could be watching very carefully right now a lot of heavy rain is falling on that southwestern part of india in the carolus state of course in august we saw that devastating flooding that one on across that area so more rain here anywhere between two and possibly up to two hundred fifty millimeters of rain now as a system starts to develop this storm is going to be making its way towards the northwest we're going to be watching this very carefully because over the next few days as it makes its way to the northwest it could be impacting oman yemen pakistan or the u.a.e. so flooding is going to be

4:40 pm
before the first round of voting on sunday brazilians are frustrated as an increase in violent crime several high profile corruption scandals and a strong economy reports. the last debate before the elections on sunday something dramatic. did not want to miss the boat with the first i am worried about what is already happening in brazil we need to tackle fascist ideas there is a complex polarization of our society but we can't forget what's been happening in brazil over the last few years it's important we vote on sunday so we can keep its democracy. seven of the presidential candidates attended the debate and religion nato the frontrunner former army captain john edwards a nat'l skipped the t.v. global citing doctor's orders after being stabbed during a campaign event one month ago instead he gave a recorded interview to t.v.

4:42 pm
reasons why are many analysts say brazilians are voting against corruption and against the workers' party whose image has been tarnished by the largest corruption scandal in brazil's history. it can only be explained by the abandonment of the state these are the people who suffered most in brazil's crisis in the last three years with violence unemployment and corruption so maybe they prefer to have a little bit of hope of getting jobs even if that means producing democracy. south america's largest democracy is heading to the polls on sunday the results will indicate which path brazil chooses to take that is how will. a course in south korea has jailed former president lee myung bak for fifteen years for corruption and is found guilty of embezzling around twenty one million dollars and accepting bribes from samsung and other companies reports. the
