pence tweeted deeply troubled to hear reports about saudi arabian journalist jamal khashoggi if true this is a tragic day violence against journalists across the globe is a threat to freedom of the press and human rights the free world deserves answers yes. spoken journalist was a u.s. resident and well known in the halls of power here in washington from his big platform as a columnist at the washington post where his writing was often very critical of saudi arabia's government particularly crown prince mohammed bin solomon to show his disappearance now as many people in this city demanding answers i think it's very disturbing. it's very unnerving we just need to get clear facts from both governments senator lindsey graham tweeted we agree if there was any truth to the allegations of wrongdoing by the saudi government it would be devastating to the

u.s. saudi relationship and there will be a heavy price to pay economically and otherwise he means that there's going to be reexamined nation of the relationship of aid by the a military by the united states all military sales to the saudi government and there's going to be once again a distance between the united states and that government it's now clear washington has joined the chorus of coals to saudi arabia for answers on the growing international scandal his disappearance gave rosendo how does it go washington john yearwood as from the international press and stick to it and president of the year would media group is urging saudi journalists in the kingdom to demand answers on jamal where abouts. i think it's critical that they also speak out in terms of calling for answers about what happened because that silence within the in the kingdom gives the impression that they are in agreement with what the government may or may not have done in istanbul because as as i've said to other

journalists around the region today it's missed the show again to morrow it might be you it's critical that you speak up to tell your government to work aggressively to finances to either allow mystica shogi to leave if he's inside the consulate or to explain what's happened to him the committee to protect journalists says that shocked by the murder and rape of a t.v. reporter in bulgaria that tory american over his body was found in the northern town of ruse police say the thirty year old had been beaten and suffocated it's unclear for killing is linked to her investigation into alleged corruption involving european union funds. a court case has begun in the netherlands which pits the united states against iran iranian lawyers at the international court of justice are trying to win back two billion dollars from the u.s. government iran says the americans are violating in one thousand fifty five

friendship treaty which the us terminated days before the case began as lawyers argue iranian leaders have been coordinating worldwide attacks for decades say about the reports from tehran. it was nine hundred eighty three in the lebanese civil war had been fought for eight years in an attack the united states would blame on iran a truck bomb explosion killed two hundred forty one marines at their barracks in beirut. fast forward to two thousand and sixteen the u.s. supreme court upheld a ruling in the case of bank markazi versus peterson the judges froze two billion dollars in iranian assets and held iran financially responsible for acts of so-called state sponsored terrorism. in a fight u.s. is defending that decision at the international court of justice in the hague just in iran comes to the corner with unclean hands. indeed it is a remarkable shown a bad face that iran now seeks relief from this corner because of the outcome of the peterson proceeding which arose from iran's support for

a brutal and deadly terrorist attack an act which the iranian leadership post in iran denied any involvement in the beirut blast but at the time celebrated the incident the u.s. legal team linked today's iran to wars of the past you will also see the name of hassan rouhani the current president of iran who was at the time a member of the supreme security council as a representative of iran's supreme leader ayatollah khomeini. in other words mr president members of the combes there is a continuity at the most senior levels between then and now. as the americans made their case missing perhaps was historical context to the attack itself u.s. back to iraq had declared war on iran in one nine hundred eighty. lebanon was halfway through a complicated civil war exacerbated by the israeli invasion of southern lebanon. in the weeks leading up to the barracks bombing a u.s. warship in the mediterranean sea backing israel and its proxies in lebanon launched missile strikes on neighborhoods in beirut with links to iran and syria where

america is trying to paint a picture in black and white iranians are likely to see regional conflicts in shades of gray at home because. america cannot put itself in the position of an international judge accuse iran in their domestic court and then condemn iran implement the ruling and confiscate iran's assets it's obvious that their evidence is illegal and the incident itself is also under question while the world court has no power to enforce decisions for iran there's more on the line than two billion dollars which this case is another chance for iran to take america to task on a world stage opening remarks by the u.s. legal team looked to be a tough act to follow lawyers representing the iranian side begin their opening remarks on wednesday. a deal between russia and turkey to prevent a syrian government offensive in the last. word armed groups have removed all heavy

president vladimir putin is already calling the zone effective ruling out military action in the near future. doesn't want an armed confrontation with turkey that's why it's afraid to publish the reject the deal it's still trying to reach a peaceful solution turkey wants to prevent armed conflict but it's challenge is to implement the deal but tension is growing between the hate a sham and turkey backed rebels there could be more incidents of armed confrontations if the so-called radical groups refused to cooperate turkey has signaled readiness to use force against those who don't comply seven for their baby out. brazil's far right presidential candidate terrible sonar zero says he won't be toning down his rhetoric ahead of the second round of voting he looks most likely to become the next leader of latin america's largest nation after easily winning the first round on sunday theresa who has more from south. there's lots of mixed

greenhouse gas emissions is possible they are options available there are signs that mitigation is going on but if this is to be achieved there's an urgent need to accelerate. three years ago at the paris climate change conference many governments gave themselves a pat on the back they pledged to take action to limit temperature rises to one point five degrees celsius above pre-industrial levels now the experts say they're failing and time is running out the i.p.c.c. says meeting that one point five degrees target requires a forty five percent cut in carbon emissions by twenty thirty and alarmingly zero net carbon emissions by twenty fifty with steep cuts in other greenhouse gases like methane it's a question of whether we can make certain decisions in the coming years. with the benefit of fisheries gone that with our children and grandchildren and. coming generations the i.p.c.c. says by the end of this century global sea level rises would be ten centimeters

lower with warming of one point five degrees compared to two degrees and the arctic is likely to be ice free in summer around once a century at one point five degrees but at least once a decade if warming reaches two degrees none of this is academic faster action will reduce flooding giving people living on the world's coasts islands and river deltas time to adapt to climate change then there are the millions affected by drought many on the african continent we need to look at climate finance and strategies that ensure that we sort of speed up climate climate action related to issues like our culture our food security livelihoods and migrations and that's because migrations and migration is no longer a choice for lots of people in the continent it is now in moscow because of global warming the i.p.c.c. report says renewable energy must account for at least seventy percent of electricity by twenty fifty compared with twenty five percent now to stay within

the one point five degree limit carbon will have to be sucked out of the air by machines installed on the ground and billions of trees will have to be planted and they'll be tough choices between using land for food or for biofuel crops we've been. the solutions now it's over to our politicians and to us that. more than a decade of blockade war and economic collapse have taken a huge toll on the mental health of palestinians in gaza recent protests at the border adding to the stress harry has the second a port in our three part series on global mental health issues. the recent friday protest in gaza near the border fence with israel. the israeli snipers shot more than fifty protesters killing one as usual many suffered leg wounds. and at the chaos a small group broke through the fence into israeli territory. tell us how you me says he was one of those who got through he had his leg amputated after being shot

during a protest in april but he keeps going back his family says he wants to die he's even written notes to be published after his death and i wish i lost part of my body why should i live either let me out of gaza to get an artificial limb or i'll keep going to the border al-jazeera filmed with a toddler just after he was injured following him through surgery he was defiant then but his family soon noticed changes in his behavior his mother says he became demanding and prone to outbursts of temper at home but it's worse she says when he goes out i have a have an image of the men have a very eyes and i used to be a normal mother now i live in fear a soon as he leaves the house i start getting anxious i keep trying to convince him not to go to the border but he doesn't listen. gaza's health ministry says at least five thousand palestinians have been injured by israeli gunfire since the start of the protests in march sixty eight have had a leg amputated psychologist somee

depths of the depression she experienced while i've got the i love that i thought about committing suicide several times i wanted to die rather than live such a difficult life because of my religious beliefs i didn't go through with it or tell us how you meet sees a counselor three times a week he says the sessions make him feel better but still he keeps going back to the border perry force it out zero gaza and in the final report in our series on world mental health we go to sweden to look at an unconventional approach to help those who need support that's on wednesday here on al-jazeera the number of severely malnourished children in afghanistan is on the rise aid organizations warneke your breach two million and trees are sending in food but that is only half the battle often armed groups like the taliban prevent the food from being delivered to those in need tony brooklier reports from herat. up son is seven months old she weighed less than seven kilograms when she entered this camp almost

half the weight would a child her age should be. she is one of a growing number of severely malnourished children who are suffering from lack of food and one high gini living conditions they have fled to camps like these in herat their families are too poor and helpless to survive without outside help. her family traveled three hundred fifty kilometers to herat to escape hunger and conflict it's an all too familiar story in afghanistan more than forty percent of children under the age of five have stunted growth through lack of food and poor nutrition and ten percent are wasting away to skin and bones it leaves them prone to illness and disease and sometimes an early death by the end of this year it is estimated that around two million children could suffer from severe malnutrition. the u.s. is the largest food donor here this year it has donated nearly seventy million dollars to support food and nutrition programs but the food lifeline can easily be

cut afghanistan always needs more food but the question is how to get it through to the people who really need it the volatile security situation means that one group or another has to give agreement with the prize to get through is not always easy but the terrain is difficult often crisscrossing territory controlled by armed factions food and medical convoys are dependent on the permission from these groups no security means no food deliveries more and. we had to leave our area because there was no food coming stopped it i don't know why instances of convoys being stopped have reduced in the last few years but they still happen that access is essential for mobile medical teams to help needy civilians aid workers have been attacked and killed in the past and they too need protection from police and. we can't go everywhere because areas are too prisca and then we can help children it

is uncertain if stopping aid is a deliberate policy of armed groups or it's an inevitable consequence of this long running conflict. my call to all the policies of the conflict is give people a break they've really had enough this has been going on for nearly forty years for different reasons but you know there are a lot of people here who know nothing but war. for peace and they deserve that unless the doc show me that conflict and improvement in times of livelihoods to all communities this intuition affected and we may come to us. happily not for up son who wages increased by seven hundred grams in just a week soon she'll no longer be acutely malnourished baby she doesn't know it yet but hers is a story of hope. al-jazeera. the nobel prize for economics
