and if emission going to live. once again we still have a few showers in the forecast into the middle east a little bit of cloud there just moving out of syria into iraq. wanted to show was a possibility here over the next day or so but the wetter weather will be further inland to say a little bit of wet weather never really too far away from southern parts of iraq pushing ever toward secure way more so as you go on into sunday pushing into that western side of iran further east it's generate dry sixteen celsius in kabul some wintry showers there on the western side of the himalayas dry and sunny there for crouchie at around thirty one degrees dry and sunny to cause a good part of the arabian peninsula thirty one celsius to abu dhabi but we got some wet weather not too far from us here and caught out around that eastern side northeastern sort of saudi arabia wanted to shop showers possible as we go on through the next couple of days and that could easily lead to some localized flooding as is usually the case in doha will struggle to twenty nine celsius on

sunday afternoon up hopefully should stay last detroit and a lot of dry weather across southern africa chance of one or two showers into the mozambique channel more concerned about the wet weather making its way towards the northeast of madagascar that is for the whole side cloud that could bring what we do weather here next week. the with the sponsored by cats own race. the u.n. man in charge of middle east and north africa has refugee crisis that the end is still not in sight the world doesn't act like. some other countries. like that there ought to be a new order to make that contribution is a more equitable i mean i was talking to. new yorkers are very receptive. because it is such an international city they are very interested in that global perspective that al jazeera provides.

hello again the top stories on al-jazeera the saudi emirates a coalition fighting the war in yemen has asked the u.s. to stop refueling its aircraft it says it now has the capacity to resupply its own fighter jets the u.s. says it's the or it's got to sit on the u.s. president donald trump plans to limit who can claim asylum his plan rather is facing a legal challenge a civil liberties group has already filed a lawsuit against his new order to deny asylum to people who went to the u.s. illegally turkish police are officially ending the search for. bodies but they will continue the criminal investigation into the saudi journalists murder sources have told al jazeera traces of acid were found at the saudi consul general's residence

police reports. another day in the united states another day to learn the names and the stories of the victims of a mass shooting among them a small business owner a police officer a college freshman just eighteen years old a man who took care of disabled children and a twenty seven year old who survived the mass shooting in las vegas just over a year ago my name is susan are fine with my son with tell her find out if we lost him last night at the borderline shooting my son was unwell spare us with a lot of his friends and he came home he didn't come home last night and i don't want prayers i don't want thoughts i want gun control and i hope to god nobody you know offends me any more prayers i want gun control no more guns think you it has become a familiar pattern each and every time americans are killed in mass by an armed man

the politics break down into two camps for republicans it is about mental health the shooter was trained to be an excellent shot by the u.s. marines he served in afghanistan well he was a war veteran he was a marine he was in the war he served time he saw some pretty bad things and a lot of people say he has the p.t.s.d. and. i just don't feel for democrats it's about guns this is america got to change this doesn't happen anywhere else on planet earth. and we can't let folks forget that can't lose sight of that can't allow this to be normalized it's been a constant conversation with little action while the republicans controlled all branches of government that changes in january and the likely house leader nancy pelosi put out a statement promising house democrats will fight to pass bipartisan commonsense solutions to prevent gun violence in communities across the country and it was going to happen. right now it's much more likely. many new names victims

you stories of loss and long before congress agrees to act. al jazeera washington. after two weeks of turmoil there has been another twist in the political power struggle president. dissolved parliament clearing the way for a snap election two years ahead of schedule problems began on october the twenty six when the president fired his prime minister run over to a single he replaced him with mahinda rajapaksa an ex-president accuse the war crimes since his ousting rick from a single has refused to leave his residence saying the move to fire him is unconstitutional and illegal well the move to dissolve parliament came hours after the president's party admitted it could not muster enough votes to nominate rajapaksa and now for more from. the dissolving of parliament by president my three policy restrain another bolt out of the blue two weeks after he started off this

constitutional crisis by sacking his prime minister and of the commissioner and appointing the former president mind the rajapaksa as his successor now the many people had been saying there should be a floorboard parliament should be reconvened because the ousted prime minister claimed that he still held on the parliamentary majority he had the support in parliament and he challenge the appointment of mind rajapaksa which was which he said was against the constitution the president had seemed to bow down to pressure and brought the date forward as to when parliament would sit that being the fourteenth of november next wednesday but in recent days we've heard problems and the government seeming to have problems making up that magic one hundred thirty number which would give them a majority in the two hundred twenty five seat assembly now the nineteenth amendment of this country's constitution brought in by the citizen a government expressly forbids the president from dissolving parliament less than

four and a half years into its term this dissolution comes way ahead of that it's one year and three months before that number and critics are up in arms they've said this is against a constitution it's antidemocratic the ousted prime minister's party has already decried it and said they will meet the election commission of tomorrow morning and challenge that so we're bound to see this is not the end of this issue the philippine president's fight against drugs is claiming wives at an alarming rate thousands have been killed in the true years since president ford regretted territory launched the controversial come down and people are becoming increasingly afraid of the police operations jimmy loughran dog and has this report from several in the central philippines. grief has come into the town police say five people were killed in what the police describes as a one time big time operation raid that sweeps through communities for illicit

drugs and other petty crimes. maria remembers how the police barged into their home at dawn looking for her husband he told me don't be afraid there are no drugs in our home they won't do anything. but maria and her children were made to crawl out of their home while her husband stayed inside the police then shot her husband dead. the police are reassures residents that operations here are meant to restore safety in very communities but that's not exactly what many people here feel they tell us they have never been more afraid the recent spate of killings here on scene in recent years. across the province drug related killings have gone up to cebu may be one of the most developed and populous cities in the besides region but police here say they will be relentless that's why the president called it drug war

because even that will be. the police as the fight back and. sometimes we don't even know who only being at the other side of the house in these houses are made of the materials that will it's going to penetrate if we fire our guns. she admits many officers are now less willing to implement the government's so-called war on drugs that is because president hu there to is now halfway through his term and there could be legal repercussions once his steps down from office complaints against the terrorists and other government officials for crimes against humanity are no pending at the international criminal court. police say almost five thousand people have been killed in jug related operations since their they launched these weren't drugs in two thousand and sixteen but the rights groups

believe the number is much higher. they promise to continue their investigation and see witnesses will soon be ready to testify. for some families that is the best they can hope for the see. their loved ones are gone and there will be an end to their grief. dugan al-jazeera province central philippines or scientists are preparing to fire losers into space as part of a cleanup effort causing a quarter poses a threat to space craft and potentially people on earth where honda has more on the out of this world. we've been launching things and people into space since nineteen fifty seven satellites be a favorite programs spacecraft to explore the unknown people to take our first deep sea and in the more than sixty years of space exploration with managed to leave

behind around one hundred seventy million bits of junk to give you a sense of just how big the problem is take a look at this graph from scientists at the university of texas these orange dots a functioning satellites orbiting near earth every day everything else the sea of pink the below is debris junk basically some of it's tiny some of it says big as a bus all of it's hurtling around the earth at speeds in excess of twenty seven thousand kilometers an hour crisscrossing at different orbits and on a potential collision course with the things and people that we want up there. scientists warn it has the potential to create a string of catastrophic even unstoppable collisions that could read up parts of space unusable nesa scientists donald case the first identified the scenario thirty years ago scientists have been trying to come up with ways to clean up after

ourselves if a sentence has the predicted that when the population density of space debris reaches a certain point it will start to collide with self and start multiplying white cells and we're seeing the beginnings of that we see increasing number of satellite reasons. through core you know the best minds on the planet in this to mine we have another ten years we could be very lucky and have twenty years or twenty five we could be very unlucky and it could happen tomorrow scientists are making progress with innovative ways to clear the class but none of it's ready to launch just yet that's where a new use of well established laser technology comes in ataman astray leah working with the experts from around the world is preparing to fire high powered lasers to blast space debris away to a safer orbit yes it is rather cool using simple high browed lasers to gently know which name to side gently gently match the space race one would to another we don't

have a solution for space debris now we have means to reduce the scale of the problem and. the doomsday event so we get more time space based laser technology dates back to the one nine hundred seventy s. and now has a myriad of applications that already make a real difference to us down here on earth but it's this latest use of laser ranging technology to clean up the cosmic junkyard around our planet that's capturing global attention it's the biggest clean up if it ever the same and this corner of the universe at least madame holland al-jazeera where they have a ball is the chief executive of the space environment research center he says laser technology has never been used this way before. well debris comes in all shapes and sizes we're estimating you know an object with one one centimeter and going to for example a model saw this object try to be like a woman as

a second can cause significant damage to satellites we do have to periodic much larger than that is thirty thousand objects large in a softball some of which is the previous article show that are larger than a school bus also judge and saws all sorts of issues but the energy in these objects is that the problem that we're using the laser technology to stop debris on the break allision so there is an uncontrollable object which could collide with each other so we're looking to use the light as it soon gently nudged the orbit of one of the objects to prevent a collision from occurring to do that we've got to do a whole lot of mathematics in advance to understand the objects to predict it. predict their role what's not to stand what they did doing and pick the pick the two objects which to do to have this collision to stop a collision from happening. hello

again the headlines on al-jazeera the saudi erotic coalition fighting the war in yemen has asked the u.s. to stop refueling its aircraft its as it now has the capacity to resupply its own fighter jets the u.s. says it supports that decision by county has more from washington. the issue of refueling has been under discussion for months pentagon sources have said that the saudis have been getting better at refueling in the last week the secretary of defense james mattis said that lists then one third of saudi aircraft were being refueled by the u.s. so certainly this is a matter that was coming to an end it would appear the saudis now unilaterally announcing that the refueling processes will end the ongoing u.s. cooperation with saudi arabia will go on the u.s. president donald trump's plan to limit who can claim asylum is facing a legal challenge a civil liberties group has filed

a lawsuit against his new order to bar people who went to the u.s. illegally from asylum his move is in the thousands of people from central america currently making their way to the u.s. border turkish police are officially ending the search for a. body but will continue the criminal investigation into the saudi journalists murder there has learned that traces of acid were found at the saudi consul general's residence in istanbul it's believed these killers used chemicals to dispose off his body as they did from urgency has been declared in the u.s. state of california that's where raging wildfires are causing widespread destruction at least nine people have died and tens of thousands have been ordered to leave their homes. presidents my their. parliament clearing the way for a snap election in january two years ahead of schedule a political crisis began two weeks ago when the president replaced the prime minister australian police say the man behind what they're calling

a terror incident in melbourne was inspired by ice cold been identified as. he crossed a car filled with gas cylinders in the city center on friday before stabbing a man to death and wounding two others those are the headlines. coming up next stay with us.

according to the united nations refugee agency there are sixty eight and a half million people forcibly displaced. of these twenty five point four million are refugees. sixty eight percent of all the refugees come from just five countries syria afghanistan south sudan. and somalia. even though they are hosted by several countries and many of them aim for one final destination europe. european union declared a refugee crisis in two thousand and fifteen the crisis intensified as thousands kept pouring into the continent e.u. member states have failed to agree on a solution with increased political tension as a result but whose fault is this crisis and are all the countries in the world doing enough to ease the situation or are only

a few carrying the burden. we find out as i mean our head director for the middle east and north africa bureau of the united nations high commissioner for refugees talks to. mr i mean our ad thank you for talking to agency or. now you are director for the middle east and north africa bureau and regional refugee coordinator for syria and iraq at the united nations high commissioner for refugees office that's quite a long title just explain that to us what your job involves what it is that you do my job is a very difficult one manage the crises of the middle east the wars of the middle east and the consequences of war are the twenty plus million internally displaced. syrian iraq is yemenis libyans and all those plus the refugees are coming out of syria and iraq and other places the situation in the middle east is not really

looking up when it comes to wars and destruction. and there is a lot of work to be done in the humanitarian front leave alone when we talk about the return of syrian refugees for example internally displaced persons again we're looking at thirteen million people that should go back to their homes this will be the biggest return since world war two also and it requires a lot of work on the legal side of things in the security side of seeing on a stabilization or recovery or reintegration stabilization throughout the country shelter home probert the land and physical security for people to go back that's what i do it's been just over three years now since we saw that huge migration of people to europe from places like syria and iraq and other countries in the region that really hit the headlines globally how would you assess this then going forward i mean have we. are we over humble have we reached a kind of new normal with this situation the new normal no as far as the syria

situation i think that what you're asking i think we have new elements of the war by and large stopped hostilities in many part of the country stopped it librium in there and i hope that the peaceful solution will be will be found for italy that a war does not break out over it live as we have seen in homs and other places because that would be a disaster however there's a lot of ground work to be done to create conditions conducive for return for civilization to remove obstacles for it that these are legal protection security livelihood housing. water sanitation health. food security so there's a lot to be done to really want a conflict stops to start rebuilding people life and in turn. of which countries are doing their fair share i mean if we look at syria. for example. it certainly seems that jordan and lebanon and turkey are really taking the brunt of this in

terms of the numbers of refugees that they have taken in but a lot of people would be asking why aren't other countries stepping in a particularly other arab gulf countries and since we're talking about a global problem here as well why not countries in asia like china what to countries like south korea and japan for example shouldn't they be stepping up more here this is war wasn't a local one was not a region was global poor that maybe were involved in the war since the beginning of the war on our repeated appeal from the beginning of the year. the u.n. and as an international coalition received about twenty billion dollars twenty billion dollars went into syria and the surrounding countries that's still not enough because our peers were much much higher five times higher than that now i think the international community have been to a certain extent generously for the syria situation but they're in not so when when

you talk about the international community who you're talking about the traditional donors what we call traditional donors like the european union the member state of european union the arab world the sciences the five countries egypt iraq jordan lebanon. plus turkey that they have received five plus six million over us and others have contributed to the syria of course but we also have iraq we have levy we have yemen we have many other crises in africa that goes you know silent people are also in many places facing problems and shortages of funding not every appeal by the u.n. for example is feeding the fund that is if some of them that is having seven eight ten percent and ways that. i think there ought to be a new international or the when it comes to humility. assistance to stabilize people in their communities people do not move across continents or countries or international boundaries to go from one place to another i think should be given to

proximity in the proximity of work rices are and their national community the donors that maybe after are more responsibly in addressing these crises in a full and comprehensive manner not in a partial manner but you must have had discussions with your member member nations or maybe you haven't i don't know about the burden that some of these countries are sharing i mean if we take for example the case of south korea and. yemeni asylum seekers who a number of them went went to south korea what happened there in june is that they removed yemen from the list of countries that allowed. free access to the island of jeju in south korea how do you square that with the with the responsibility that the international community as you say has to them that's what proves exactly what i said there be enough support to our verts a crisis that's happening in yemen today financially and otherwise. the spread of.

diseases in yemen we would not have had these migration out and far beyond continents across continents to to a place like south korea there are many displaced people from the middle east who tell us that going to other arab countries is not an option for them because in many of these countries they're likely to face more repression. and hostility from people on the refugees arriving in egypt from syria for example have been met with suspicion discrimination violence we've heard lots of stories and i'm sure your graduation is heard the same so europe is still a more attractive option for them what's being done to address that then well if you look at the five point five zero. six million those are five point five you want to share there could be another half a million that in order to use it for a reason or another who checked into egypt we should just mention a case in point from my visit to egypt they had access to education health they

were living among the population not in camps in the bellies of towns and villages and countryside and you know the countryside of egypt when did you last visit egypt because things have changed somewhat since president sisi. during the during the last three or four years since the last five years i visited guy or maybe about a dozen times not only cairo i want to examine the villages i met people a number that are home communities in apartments in collective centers. i have inspected that as we do also in jordan lebanon iraq i think by and large the five point five million people that came out of syria they were received very well in lebanon jordan turkey egypt iraq there could be exceptions there could be exceptions also in europe don't want to paint the picture of it was being the heaven and on the last the last the summation no also there is this image that there could be discrimination isolated cases here and there we see in germany there were there were some there were some hostility in some areas because of the vast

numbers of people who came not only from from syria but from other countries so i think on balance for us the most precious thing is countries open their borders to allow people to come in from pursuit to shun war and killing and that happened in this very important instance of the syria influx there is an argument as well that says with with this movement of so many people many of them are not really refugees but economic migrants how do you make that distinction in economic migrants they're going for a better life looking for jobs refugees are leaving getting prosecution wars destruction physical security running for their lives that's what makes a difference for us are entitled to cross borders into safety and the russian process this involved in making there would be a style. there you start is determination to interview those people to see where they're coming from and if there are indeed wars and if they're really free prosecution ones that they confirm that asylum seekers the refugees migrants are

fleeing conditions that sub. standard or poverty and they're looking for better for a better life we should not discriminate against them because of their convention their conventions like the convention the refugees. governing the movement of people migrants for economy then and there are policies and they should be treated with humility and dignity and they should not be abused and they should not be manipulated or instrumentalist in their journeys for a better life there's been some discussion as well monkey european nations. about setting up a kind of central processing center somewhere north north africa morocco has been talked about this for migrants not us from us for migrants that's right where does the u.n. h.c.r. stand on that particularly since. this is come under some criticism in europe is it seen as abdicating its responsibility at a time when when my graflex are much lower than they were in twenty fifteen what's

your view on that well these are discussions that are going on between the european union on the one hand the north african states the bilateral so we are not only in the middle of that but also there are discussions going on between individual states in the e.u. the european continent with these countries and i think what the europeans are trying to do is to share the burden of the hundreds of thousands or millions that have crossed during the last few years and try to diversify their locations where processing centers can be put up other shirking their responsibilities. who the the european nations they saw that during the last few years they received millions. and they believe that many countries in africa where transit countries where we know some countries like egypt became a destination and transit and the transit in other words some people come and remain a digital some try to go further so many countries in north africa became distillation

but all across it so not only europe i think there is a there is a way for the europeans and also africans and others in the continent to really find. find a way out of this the way out of this is really a policy robust policy is due to government assistance to the north each region or that can give to sub-saharan africa or north africa in order to stabilize this population the second thing the world have to come up with a very robust comprehensive system to fight and contain smuggling and trafficking smugglers traffickers are coordinating as groups as gangs. who are trading arms and in drugs and you have the people and those that we're talking about who are trading in smuggling and trafficking of human beings they share intelligence they share resources they exchange. heavy weapons and they're bent on doing they're controlling the three areas i just mentioned

drugs. people. and weapons this is very destabilizing for the world at large and this is billions of dollars of trade if the world does not come up with a mechanism to control this and put it as one of the most important agenda items today on the top of the world agenda i think the situation will get worse and worse and what you have mentioned before that you want to do is north africa becomes really mad you know a drop in the ocean action that was no substance and no sustainable impact what are these countries doing to address that i mean i mean are they are they listening to the u.n. h.c.r. and are what kind of acts. yes are you and your staff getting to some of these places we don't deal with migration a source with on the resists problems as i told you but this affects also movement if you like tied into. and among that there is a very small number of asylum seekers who are fleeing persecution or find among these massive so an army of people who are moving from one place to one of the for

a better life or simply because traffickers smugglers have provoked communities to move. if i tell you that people are moving in yemen today from the horn of africa across the red sea you'd be surprised why people go into a war zone when there is famine cholera disease and knowledgeable with units and security because of a good business model by the topic of the smugglers they're poor they're not educated they were given they were promised heaven to come to them and they don't even know it's on the formula and they cross the sea and they found themselves in the situation liberate whatever their life saving their soul their land their animals they got there somehow so what's being done then in those discussions that you're having with with with these member nations to try to to try to combat that these are done in different platform on migration. and on the people trafficking these are international criminal acts if you like and i think they are appearing with the u.n. and other nations that are concerned part of these routes have to really come up

with better policies and better action plans to contain this problem reports that some european countries particularly italy have been paying money to the government in libya to distribute to the militias in the country to try and keep migrants and refugees from fleeing to europe is this something that the u.n. is looking at. isn't this essentially a via group violation of migrant law and what's being done about it i've heard this. but really i'm not the we're not the quarter rather is that the un have many arms international community have to work in different ways to verify this first if it's true or not and to find ways from the us it's not something that we would intervene with the government of italy the militias in libya the libyan government we're out of that loop but but the u.n. is presumably in

a position isn't it to to apply this how should we verify if there really if there are group of people stopped from moving forward let's say the free prosecution of course that's wrong but for others no way for us to verify that that is i want to turn back to yemen there is this perception that other arab nations in that region particularly in the gulf are not doing more to address that situation what would you say to that i think if there is if you are allowing me to speak about yemen i don't think is one group of countries or another there is a humanitarian disaster in the making the world is watching this and one day the world will wake up to find out that we have went through one of the worst famine crises of our time the world have to act not one region around of the internationally to contain this problem to reverse the situation there is a need for a huge humanitarian intervention here to really reverse that famine the cloke

cholera and other diseases. and the health systems indication and the welfare of the of the of the end we have many people as a whole as a whole nation does going through a crisis and the world is watching that that has to stop when you look at yemen they share a long border with saudi arabia so a lot of people will be asking why why isn't saudi arabia obviously a very wealthy country why why isn't saudi arabia doing more to address what is going on well first of all that would have to stop saudi arabia or not other countries have to come to the assistance of of the year many people now. what has been done is not enough to avert a crisis with this this is what role has technology played in all of this in this digital age where information is is very readily available people have smartphones and devices there is an ability to navigate and to know more easily where to go compared with say twenty or thirty years ago how much of

a factor is that in people's decision to. to migrate. and how does that how does that affect the situation because you know many decades ago a lot of people didn't exactly know where where the best place was to go has that. made the situation more challenging for you. in a way those who are educated a certain level of education and they have these devises to guide them where to go for their gut i think do technology and innovation are using it to deliver better humanitarian assistance but i'm afraid that the new technology and innovation does use more force smarter guns on wars and and that is does it really policies out simple as that what's been the impact of the trump travel ban on the refugee refugee situation in this region because a lot of many of those countries that were on that list are middle eastern countries the resettlement well the quarter that we heard from the u.s. one little is about twenty percent of it and we hope that the u.s.

policy versus the decision that we have more space to really send people are resettlement and have the generosity of the u.s. and the u.s. people. really it's a my great nation itself it's a destination and has been like that for many years for two hundred years so we're hoping that the u.s. will open its court again for syrian refugees and others how hopeful are you of that moment given this current climate i am sure everything will take time but it will happen what's being done specifically to address that is there any regular u.s. government at all levels with the communities with the pa. there are additional have been engaged results for the last few decades so. the time is up or two and i'm sure like any other policy that could be reversed or amended another thing that's in the news right now is this central american caravan that that is going through making its way through mexico right now and is intended to get to the united states

i know this is outside of your region. but this is something that president trump has talked about quite a bit it's been. a political issue there at the moment how would you have handled that situation as far as i'm concerned those who are leaving hundreds probably living under the stress i think the situation the. security wise for many. segment of the population especially the young and the children is not conducive and they ought to be a system to do to contin. lawlessness and instability situation for people not to leave their homes and cross international borders but it is it is very much a kind of hot button issue at the moment is there not a responsibility on the part of richer nations like like the united states to. take in people who are fleeing fleeing war and likely death and poverty for

sure but i would look at it different differently that's have to happen of course people are seeking international support bot they could be today's current under water there could be second in the tens the one hundred or one thousand kind of unlike as we see the movement across the mediterranean we have to find out what other root causes the root causes are within reach the sort. there are lawlessness created by many elements and that have to be reversed for people to be for the population to be stabilized i want to come back to the issue we talked about earlier about burden sharing and this idea that a number of nations richard nations bigger nations are not doing their fair share in trying to help the situation here one of the number of countries that comes up is singapore. wealthy nation a small nation but a wealthy nation russia as well we don't hear much about. about russian assistance

for any refugees either from the middle east to or anywhere else why isn't more being done to address that there isn't much don't give a reason i think talked before about world order that cemented the way they were both world war two i think that have to change the world have to come together reconfigure all of this mechanism when it comes to international response when they come to military an archon with come to better than sharing responsibility sharing and find a more equitable way for the arab gulf for the sea got bored of this world for the korean mission before and other countries to really. contribute in an equitable manner many countries have a percentage of their g.d.p. and make that contribution a consistent manner and some others don't so things are not equal that's the way the world it is it has to change but i mean if you look at a country like russia for example it's one of the superpowers in the world why don't we hear more about what about russia and why why they're not doing. i mean we

hear a lot about the u.s. and the assistance that they that they are giving we don't hear much about russian assistance because as i said there are assessed contributions that they make which is a percentage of their g.d.p. of their income one percent or less that they put out every year really to different prices read the comic. environmental humanitarian or others. the world doesn't act like that in concert some other countries part of the world does not act like that there ought to be a new order to make that contributes these contribution to the sharing more equitable among the number of countries that contribute for example to all of this crisis not more than fifteen. countries are as you mentioned earlier that are capable and able to pay and not doing so are more than the fifteen so it's left to very small number of countries that they cannot meet the demand of humanity and these demands are increasing every year as the crisis deepens our the crisis become productive in different part of the world the world population explodes so you have

more people on the move for economic reasons for humanitarian reasons and the number of those remain the same that has that pool of countries have to expand in order for them to be able to pay for these appeals. mr i mean our thank you for talking to you and. i'm his story is a for the people every weekly news cycle brings a series of breaking stories told through the eyes of the world's journalists these three reuters journalists were one of the few journalists that were actually doing investigative work join the listening post as we turn the cameras on the media and focus on how they report on the stories that matter the most see as the rights to those stories but then he never publishes those stories they're listening post on al-jazeera. there is growth in a very short time to be

a trusted news source wherever you are in the world he really want to know what's going on there and you can find out very quickly when looking at the news from some nations prism. we are probably international everybody will learn something watching our coverage be sure and that we can be the best international news and most trusted source of stories that people actually can't find elsewhere and that's going to continue. the lights are on. and there's nowhere to hide do you think we're going to see some kind of sea change in the u.s. relationship with saudi arabia i haven't said it's a right wing conspiracy or anybody's conspiracy up front only al-jazeera. it's. coming from some groups i do think the problem. is from the shah rukh's is the name under which i recorded the record was a regular music is really kind of trip for

a very young i used to make of what i feel that. talks of are just it's one of the books of all the loans and there's a cricket music that's the best that's deeply relevant to this road especially for doing this kind of all in all the right wing assault on all of. the os questions and generally all freedom of expression and people you know are being taught it's like students teachers activists in their class rights it's nice all of them but it's limited that's the number of people on the streets and protest has reached our doorstep sort of in which as well we've had legs and attempts to contradict something and it's. the u.s. is set to stop or fueling saudi planes against in the war in yemen. you're

watching al-jazeera life from a headquarters in doha i'm daddy navigate also i had. just signed. asylum for changing the rules president donald trump issues an order limiting the right to seek asylum but faces a legal challenge to his father. plead to locate loved ones. wildfires in northern california burn out of control killing at least nine people and forcing thousands to evacuate their homes a new twist in political crisis is the president's parliament elections to follow. hello the saudi america coalition fighting the war in yemen has asked the u.s. to stop refueling its aircraft it says it now has the capacity to resupply the

fighter jets the u.s. says it supports the decision the trumpet ministration has been under pressure to limit its assistance in a war that's created a huge humanitarian crisis mike hanna has more from washington d.c. . the issue of refueling has been under discussion for months pentagon sources have said that the saudis had been getting better at refueling in midair last week the secretary of defense james mattis said that less than one third of saudi aircraft were being refueled by the u.s. so certainly this is a matter that was coming to an end it would appear the saudis now unilaterally announcing that the refueling processes will end the ongoing u.s. cooperation with saudi arabia will go on though however it may be a coincidence about the saudi announcement came on a day when senators one republican and one democrat said that they would introduce a bull to end the u.s. help in refueling saudi planes in the war in yemen so certainly there is some kind

of action that was being contemplated within congress but a far more importance within congress is the move to introduce a bull to suspend civilian nuclear talks between saudi arabia and the u.s. both from the senate and in the house of representatives there's been moves to introduce bills when congress resumes that would either suspend these talks or end any such agreement should it be passed a by that particular time so certainly that is movement within congress to exert some kind of sanction against saudi arabia particularly with real reference to that issue of nuclear cooperation some might have done is a yemeni analyst and visiting fellow at georgetown university she says the decision is meant to send a message that the u.s. doesn't want to publicly back the war. we just had elections here in washington

d.c. and it seems that a lot of the senators and congress men and women who want want to see an end for the war at me amen and what we're seeing here is in a sense. the u.s. removing itself from the situation of what's happening in yemen of course it's not going to slow down or end the war in yemen and might slow it down just a bit but you know all the capacity and everything that's being run right now is saudi managed i think it's a clear message that the u.s. no longer wants to be publicly supporting this war the fact that they would like to see the war and for peace talks to begin every time we've been ounce the start of peace talks in yemen what we saw is an escalation of violence because each party is trying to come into the negotiation from a powerful side in order to push the other side into conceding to their demands but unfortunately what we've seen in the past that this aggression usually tends to

push one side or the other out of the negotiation and out of coming to the peace table and so it's really important here for both sides to kind of slow down their rhetoric and ease that out if they have a true commitment to peace and i think that ultimately reveals that both sides are really concerned with a military victory and inside of them inside their military party and inside of their organization they're not genuinely looking to end the war in yemen for the right reasons which is to stop human suffering donald trump's plan to limit who can claim asylum is facing a legal challenge just hours after he signs a new order barring people who enter the u.s. illegally from asylum a civil liberties group a lawsuit or white house correspondent kimberly helka reports. for years u.s. law allowed those fleeing persecution to seek asylum in the united states were guard lists of how they entered the country no longer i just signed. the

proclamation on asylum again i reiterate we need democratic votes using executive powers president donald trump has reduced the number of asylum claims now mandating a claim can only be considered if a person entered the united states through a legal checkpoint. the presidential proclamation is trump's latest response to a caravan of migrants headed to the united states thousands of u.s. soldiers have been deployed to the border to discourage a flood of illegal entries trops also cast doubt on claims migrants are fleeing persecution in their home countries a condition of asylum and the reason this is happening is we create is such a successful country economically that everybody is flooding used to our country with refugees the white house is defending what immigration activists say is trump's latest draconian immigration policy but like the travel ban implemented

early and presidency the white house argues the changes are necessary for u.s. national security the travel ban was tossed out of lower federal court challenges but ultimately prevailed at the supreme court the highest court in the united states the white house argues after decades of congressional failures to reform immigration the expansion of executive power is justified. simply by his unilateral decree to go to congress. unilaterally change the landscape of. the white house is already preparing for more legal challenges but believes it will ultimately win with the support of the president's newest supreme court justice brett kavanaugh now. on the bench the president's effort to end an obama era program for the children of illegal immigrants now adults to go to school and work is also mired in the courts but
