international program continues and the turks continue to keep the pressure up the enemy you mentioned international reaction we've had germany for instance banning eight hundred saudis just on monday from traveling to to europe and also halting arms sales and. you see that as kind of us energy think we're going to start to see the blocks of european line behind that position i think that we will see the u.k. begin to take stronger action soon and jeremy hunt has been more assertive on several fronts. france is playing a bit of. a cat and mouse game on this one because i think micron sees the maybe some advantage to not showing his hand on it so i don't think they'll be necessarily a completely unified european front but i think there will be serious repercussions and the pressure will continue and the meantime just about to kingsholm on that we we saw today what how do you read his kind of position and them to saudi arabia what's he trying to achieve well i think the first thing you want to do is to.

reassure that is sun's position is secure i was interest that he made reference to the importance of young saudis and this is an area where i'm home but some not really has failed to deliver the unemployment rate is stuck at about thirteen percent now it's much higher for young saudis he has not delivered on the promise of jobs in the private sector for example is an issue about affordable housing young saudis can't can't get married because they can't buy houses can't get on the housing ladder so i was interested that the king in a sense was pointing towards domestic issues that he should perhaps pay attention to and of course is foreign adventures of all turned out rather badly particularly the war in yemen and and mccain was pushing hard to support. the u.n. mediator and looking for a way to end that conflict bill thank you very much indeed commission which is ok. or as you mentioned earlier germany is taking action against the people suspected

of being involved in it to national g.'s matter it's imposing travel bans on eighteen saudi nationals so they won't be allowed to enter the country or europe's border free schengen zone john mccain has more than in two announcements from germany for it is regarding the saudi arabian government and its role in the affair the first came from foreign minister in brussels where he and i once the decision to impose travel bans on eighteen saudi citizens who have been implicated in this affair calling for other european governments to follow suit and then separately here in berlin the economy ministry is announced that all arms exports to saudi arabia whether they are future signed agreements or current signed agreements are to be frozen that is important because the german armaments industry does exported considerable amount several many consignments to the saudi authorities well all those are now kurt ailed truncated as it were the point will be whether this is

something that will be followed by other european governments certainly that's what the german government wants to see the chorus of concern and then criticism that came here in germany was equalled was was as it were followed suit by european authorities but now the question is will other european authorities impose an arms embargo. there's much more ahead on the al-jazeera news hour israel's government narrowly avoids collapse after the education minister threatens to pull his party out of the coalition before deciding against it. should lanka's parliament meets again to try to oust a disputed prime minister. and a sport pakistan using didn't produce one of the closest test match finishes in history. the u.n. special envoy to yemen has welcomed the decision to stop drone and missile strikes

against the saudi led coalition but fighting is still being reported in the vital port city of data as well as other parts of the country in what could be a boost for peace yemen's internationally recognized government has confirmed it will take part in u.n. back talks in sweden later this month mohammed other reports from neighboring djibouti. these are the kind of all talks the whole to say will end ballistic missiles fired into so that it be a from across the south of the border in the. polls the president of the whole the supreme revolutionary committee said we are mounted our initiatives by calling on the yemeni official forty's to stop the launching of missiles and drones on the us so the country is on their allies in yemen in order to stop and it just difficult for their continued aggression or siege while preparing to freeze and stop military operations on all fronts to reach a just an honorable peace if they really want peace for the people of yemen.

after we started using missile attacks and we started to target saudi forces near the border saudi arabia is now portraying its aggression on yemen as if it is just a response to our missile and border attacks therefore today steve imes to once again clarify. we also announce that we are ready to stop all operations at all fronts to show the world who was doing what and to give peace a chance we want to prove to the world that we want pace. well the rebels are still preparing to battle in the vital port city of data even though pro-government forces say they have paused fighting ahead of peace negotiations in sweden and to allow in humanitarian aid this just in case the sodium radicalization ignores the whole issue of to end the tux well the wall is. a challenge to

the saudi. they really want peace in the am i in the so they will actually accept it because many times you have similar. i am still this eight and it's not like a. international pressure has been mounting on yemen's warring parties to end the war but us killed thousands of people and pushed the country to the verge of starvation the threat from diseases grows all the time. has more on the upcoming un back talks from neighboring djibouti peace talks between yemen's warring parties is looking ever more likely because for the first time we're seeing a united international community countries like britain the united states france all singing from the same hymn sheet exhorting pressure on this so the democratic coalition as well as the who with these and the last round of talks talks in geneva

collapsed because the holders did not turn up now martin griffith the u.n. special envoy says he will travel with them from san are to sweden if need be which makes many people have hopes that talks might be possible at last. yes ma'am one is a political science professor at the university of waterloo she says there's likely be a stronger u.s. focus on ending the war in yemen now that the democrats win control of the u.s. house of representatives i think you're start to see pressure on the united states to start talking about the americans complicit involvement in this war and that simply was not there in the previous house and frankly wasn't there before the death of jamal khashoggi so i think there are a number of forces at play and let's hope that indeed there is going to be some sort of resolution to this soon hopefully on the international community hasn't been paying enough attention to be blunt and that's partly because of many different reasons but i think now you know other stars are aligned geopolitically let's say and that is a good thing and i think again that

a point mr president is the american attention from the public from the new democrats coming into the house and increasingly criticism being generated post. and of course the dynamics on the ground there is fatigue and that's important to hear because both you know hopefully the hooghly rebels and the saudi coalition have started to realize that this is a stalemate there's no winning this war is just sheer utter suffering of the yemeni people you know we've stopped counting the death toll we stopped at ten thousand numbers are closer to fifty thousand fourteen million people on the verge of famine many many many deaths as a result of food insecurity i mean there's just so much pain and suffering there's really nothing to be gained and i push it the word being used achieved but it's absolutely just a horrific situation on the ground european union foreign ministers be meeting in brussels to discuss the united kingdom's proposed brics it deal which could be signed off as soon as sunday comes as prime minister to resign may attempts to sell

the deal to business leaders and terror in rooting party marriage he has the latest . if politics is about momentum then for now it seems momentum is with the european union or at least those who want a future deal which keeps the u.k. as close to europe as possible the prime minister was talking to business leaders pushing her line that her deal would be good for them while trying to appease breck sitters by insisting that mass immigration would end once we've left the e.u. we will be fully in control of who comes here it will no longer be the case that e.u. nationals regardless of the skills or experience they have to offer can jump the queue ahead of engineers from sydney or software developers from delhi instead of a system based on where a person is from we will have one that is built around the talents and skills a person has to offer and in brussels they're feeling more and more content that the u.k. will not depart on acrimonious terms the negotiations look set to be signed off

without any complaints when european leaders meet on sunday we are in fact at the decisive moment in this process no one no one should lose sight of the process the progress that will be achieved in brussels and you know london. i am pretty that ministers today supportive of all the wreckage in particular member states through ports of the draft with direct removed the immediate risk to may have been a vote of no confidence from hardliners who promised by now they would have enough letters from rebellious m.p.'s to trigger votes in the leadership contests but while rebels are gradually coming to the view it is a fight that's as of now they would surely lose the points of course is my full support of the people who get behind her she endeavors to get the very very best deal for the person it's looking increasingly like the calculation among the rebels is to wait for the parliamentary votes to see the politicians from all sides vote

down to reason may's deal in which case she would surely have to go and then everything would once again be up for grabs between now and then the government machine will go into overdrive persuading politicians from all sides to accept a deal which very few really wants but maybe the best on offer lawrence leigh al-jazeera westminster in london the man who is credited with saving one of the world's largest cum makers from bankruptcy has been arrested for lying about his salary carlos ghosn the chairman of japanese auto giant nissen was arrested after being questioned by prosecutors in tokyo this and says an internal investigation found go understated his income by millions of dollars and used company money for personal benefits the company says it will move to sack him during a board meeting on thursday again is also chairman of the japanese company mitsubishi and chief executive of france's renato which are allied with missile

france's finance minister insists there are no risks to the conglomerate stability and just about the reports from paris. well carlos ghosn could be facing a real fall from grace the japanese carmaker nisar and will consider on thursday of all meeting whether or not to sack him as their chairman they are alleging financial misconduct on the behalf of color school and they say that he was using company money and assets for his own financial benefit and gain now how this came about is that nyssa have been investigating grown over the past few months they were tipped off by a whistleblower they've now given all the documents and information that they have to japan's a public prosecutor was speaking at a press conference on monday the c.e.o. of miss and said this was a very serious matter. and i think you'll get on as a company of course this is definitely an acceptable and we were also told by the expose that just misconduct is serious enough to dismiss zammit or go on isn't just

the chairman of this and but also of mitsubishi motors another japanese motor company as well as the chief executive or french carmaker rhino now the french state is a shareholder in run over and earlier the french president reacted to the news. we will be extremely vigilant about the stability of the alliance and the renault group and also as regards to belittle you for employees to whom i want to say that the state as a shareholder is ensuring that all of its support will france's finance minister says members of the french government will meet renault representatives in the coming days if carlos corner is sacked from this and it would be a huge blow to his career to his reputation he is someone who's been at the top of his industry for more than two decades. israel's government has now really avoided collapse education minister enough to bet it had been threatening to pull his party out of prime minister benjamin netanyahu his coalition which has decided against it

a withdrawal would most likely lead to a snap election the government process was triggered when defense minister avigdor lieberman resigned last week stephanie decker has the latest from west jerusalem after all the criticism after all the ultimatum that he gave to the israeli prime minister naftali bennett will not be quitting this government he had made a very loud point where he said that if he was not given the post of defense minister that he would be resigning which would effectively have collapsed this government it hasn't happened now yes he extensively criticised the prime minister particularly his policies when it comes to the palestinians when it comes to the gaza border protest when it comes to how he's dealt with hamas when it comes to the fact that the prime minister hasn't yet demolished that bedouin village in the occupied west bank connel ahmad but after one of that he said that he would be remaining in government bennett doesn't want to be seen as the man to bring down this right wing government that is also the position that the israeli prime

minister had put him in netanyahu remains a shrewd political operator he played the security card when it came to defending his policies of these of the how mass to the cease fire in gaza so for the moment snap elections seem to have been avoided but it remains a fragile coalition only one seat majority many people will tell you that netanyahu is keen on early elections but not under these circumstances and certainly not handing over what would have been a huge political victory for hamas if they would play it if the government had collapse at this stage they would have played it as a victory to that so for the moment it's been avoided but again many people will tell you that early elections will probably still happen they've just been avoided for doubt. well the million children in iraq need psychological support that's according to the united nations children's agency a survey by unicef found eighty percent of iraqi children experience violence at home or in school iraqi authorities be meeting agency officials in the capital

baghdad discuss the range of problems facing young iraqis which also includes contaminated drinking water there is. a significant problem with access to potable water and this has knock on effect on health. and one of the more significant issues is the adolescent population. is the largest percentage wise in the region and is set to keep on growing for the future so unless we address some of the significant problems with health and education with the water issue and so on. this is going to be reflected in the population in general in iraq for the future. which you know jazeera still ahead south africans demand justice as a major inquiry into corruption gathers steam we look at the key players. more than four hundred thousand deaths and two hundred million cases global health officials

a respected former minister anti-graft campaigner is warning that an official probe into state corruption risks being de railed by those involved as public anger continues to mount pravin gordhan was fired as finance minister by president jacob zuma in march twenty seventh teen he says as much as seven billion dollars may have been stolen through corrupt government tenders juries you misrule zuma is accused of organizing a web of corruption at government departments and public enterprises in his state capture he was forced to resign in february. at the center of the scandal is his relationship with the group has a family of wealthy indian migrant businessmen the anticorruption own but simmons accused the group has of buying political appointments and contracts both zuma and the group has rejected accusations south africa's new president cyril ramaphosa came into power on a wave of anti corruption sentiment it seems he might have to salvage his own reputation after being ordered to pay back

a thirty five thousand dollars donation on monday because it's been made by a firm under investigation i mean to miller has the latest from johannesburg. a couple of hundred people have gathered outside the building where the former finance minister pravin gordhan is testifying in the commission of inquiry into state capture and this is what the south africans of calling this alleged corruption and fraud within government is that allegedly benefited elite members of government high profile individuals and also people outside government who perhaps had a special relationship with the former president jacob zuma and the well connected in political circles the people here are saying that he probably should go he's now a minister of public enterprises but they say that what happened during his watch shouldn't have and that's a civically meeting with the cook to family the family of

a business people that was close to former president jacob zuma and they've been implicated in corruption and hold to do with state owned enterprises to benefit their business interests previously provin gordon had said he had never met with this family but in leaks testimony before his appearance today he said that he had in fact met with this family a couple of times and one of those times at the residence of the former president jacob zuma these people here are saying that this the issue of around state capture is so foregone that the rights is so far is so deep that it has to be dealt with and the only way that can happen is that is if these high profile individuals if these ministers in cabinet and dealt with and remove the leader of this party will julius malema says that it shouldn't have happened under provin cordons watch but many would argue that this happened under the watch of the entire ruling party the african national congress. so much as if it can is

a policy and political science professor at the university of south africa who joins us to skype from pretoria thanks for being with us to tell us what would you make of the apparent surprising gordon at the hearing today. well i do think that it is quite significant because as if i n n's minister who was at this end of men they had to tease is presentation is quite revealing but at the same time it's also confirming what has been widely reported in order of the former president as well as the family and he's a he's very much kind of trying to absolve himself i suppose is seen as in this testimony is trying to absolve him of and tremendous pressure from an opposition political party the equipment food fight which seemed to be focusing on name and demanding that he should also be removed because he did not

disclose mentions with the does before what they allege was that followed with opus sounds pretty best if they want to pose as managed to make an end putting the corruption in a way to perceive corruption there's human error behind him i don't think that he has made some progress and puts the issue of under quote auction the sender through allowing this commission to do its work but there is send a revelation of the contribution two years but the company in funding will be quite a set back but i don't think it will necessarily delay the quote option. how much teeth it is when we inquire how many if they do make draw conclusions what what powers will they have to implement change. they do have powers to

requirement prosecution. and therefore actions which may go on for a nice people or even try to repossess some of the you know call to money is but it is the political we will ultimately make these things at the summit at afic any thank you very much indeed for joining us raj there thank you thank you the busiest part of a u.s. border with mexico is closed as officials as told concrete barriers and razor wire to prevent asylum seekers from entering thousands are essential americans in the so-called migrant caravan heading through to try to cross into the u.s. the mexican protestors have been asking the government to prevent this on i'm sick is from staying and edging that they're a danger to the city. i did your question joins us live now from mexico so what's happening at the shelter now. laura so

this is the government shelter that has now been open for four nights and more than two thousand asylum seekers from central america have been sleeping here under the open air there's always a lot of activity outside right now there is a lot of hope that these migrants who are standing in line have been there now all morning they're hoping to hop on a bus that's on there on its way here to take them to a job there because they're hoping that they can find some sort of employment while they're waiting here into it want to which the local authorities say could be upwards of six months that's because after these three thousand some members of the caravan there are still in another few thousand behind them that will arrive in the coming days and the question is how can they survive here when resources are already at their capacity. as you mentioned the u.s. government already has been reinforcing the border they're fearful that there may

be some sort of rush on the border but speaking with the people here there has been no planning of such kind in fact the vast vast majority have said they will either stay here in mexico with work permits finding jobs and jobs there's like these workers are lining up for or they'll apply for legal asylum in the u.s. which indeed will be a very long process for and you mentioned the discussed of resources how is the presence of asylum seekers impacting on be do already in tijuana. will the closure of the port of entry which is the main the hc you are entry in the most is the one between mexico and the u.s. was devastating to the people india want to who travel across the border in the morning every day to get to their jobs in america and a. hundred ten thousand people a day are such across that port of entry so it was a pretty chaotic situation for those people and that's contributing to the concerns

and the fears that we heard about when some four hundred people showed up at a protest against the asylum seekers they were chanting things like invaders or are poor first and they're trying to have the local mexican government register people and also there they say they're concerned about this central americans taking their jobs and the reality is there may not be a good solution to all of this because as i mentioned this is only the tip of the iceberg of the caravan there are so many war still on the road here anywhere near ten thousand by the time that everyone from these caravans arrive with even more caravans beginning in central america certainly the tension here will only rise lauren. thank you very much indeed. the battle against malaria appears to have stalled the world health organization says the number of cases around the world is still rising and it needs more money if it's to bring the disease under control

well matheson reports for several years it looked like the world was winning its battle against malaria but in good lou in northern uganda people like jeffrey kelley his brother continue to die the second the night he's going to sign the west and. a so he decided to come to do is put before moving day then it went a bit like that but unfortunately he never walked off day and night. in some parts of africa such as here than glue but no more patience with the movie out than anywhere else in the world the world health organization says that since twenty fifteen the number of people infected with malaria has risen well the number of deaths has gone down. malaria is carried by parasites and spread through mosquito bites children under five years old or most at risk but so are pregnant

woman people with hiv aids as well as those who travel through infected areas. the first symptoms are usually fever headache and chills those can be followed by difficulty breathing weakness and in some cases death but only if it's not treated . and there would have been my that shows all the darwish and that we do have it improve in management and i did fish one of the my idea is is to w.h.o. says countries including the rwanda ethiopia and pakistan have made big progress in slowing the spread of malaria but it also says the battle is getting harder because there's not enough money it's estimated that in order to optimize military control we need a global budget of about six point six billion dollars per year and we have about three point one billion dollars invested on an annual basis. as money gets harder to find so does the fight to control one of the world's greatest killers matheson
