it'll put a little clearer story to me is that we just don't tell you what the subject of the story wants you to know the government is not going to do go on playing the demonstrators want to apologize for down what al-jazeera does we ask the questions so that we can get closer to the truth. as ceasefire comes into effect in the many palter who date but reports on the ground say there is still sporadic fighting. this is al jazeera live from doha also ahead the u.s. says its will planes have killed more than sixty al shabaab figes in somalia a u.s. senate report says russia used social media to meddle in the u.s.

election in two thousand and sixteen and is still meddling today and more breaks it uncertainty in the u.k. as the opposition labor party calls for a no confidence vote on prime minister to resign me. i am. thank you for joining us a u.n. brokered cease fire has come into effect in the many city of ho data but reports say sporadic fighting is still taking place in the embattled port the fighting pits saudi backed government forces against hoofy rebels in the area the warring sides had agreed on a truce during political talks held in sweden last week international observers are expected to arrive to monitor the cease fire who data is critical for the supply of food and aid to millions of young menees who are on the brink of starvation and they are many challenges on the ground for international observers diplomatic editor james frey's explains now from the united nations. the u.n.

security council has started work drawing up a draft resolution that would indorse what was agreed in stockholm last week and give a mandate for a u.n. monitoring mission in yemen news that has been welcomed by the spokesman for the u.n. secretary general it will be. that it will send a strong signal from the international from the international community in support of the u.s. work of this where mr griffiths is done and what mr cameron. camera. will lead the dutch general patrick cameras who's leading the monitoring mission has been briefing the un secretary general antonio good terrorists on his plan i'm told the first members of the monitoring mission the assessment team will be on the ground in yemen on wednesday the watchwords i'm told of form follows function a look at the security situation see what functions they need to perform and then decide on the form the number of monitors they're going to need to come from member

states the united nations people with military experience but people who operate on the ground in an unarmed capacity one of the problems the un is facing here is that the talks in stockholm went much better than expected so the un is having to pull together this monitoring mission at very short notice. has covered the yemen conflict extensively he says the breakthrough reaching the un back talks in sweden may not work on the ground. few expected it to. assist them in a serious as the ceasefire to hold from the beginning that's why we've seen. clashes in the east and south on parts for the past four days since friday have been sporadic clashes and just moments after the suspect came into effect residents of the city say there was an exchange of gunfire missiles in the eastern part of the city of course this just shows the deep seated suspicion between the two groups

and how dicey the whole situation in today the ease of course the stakes are very high both sides aspic specter to withdraw from the militias from the city within twenty one days and as this deadline comes near we'll see more of these clashes but there are obstacles as well and i starting with how vaguely worded agreement that was signed in sweden was for example it doesn't talk about. the neutral forces that are supposed to take over once these militias from both sides leave the city who are they going to have an suggestions that the two groups will form joint units which is almost impossible and then there is that plan by the hutus for the hoof is still hung over a mop of the city showing landmines improvised explosive devices as well as booby trap compounds and where they are something that could prove to be a stumbling block. and u.s. president donald trump's travel ban is preventing the year many mother of

a dying child from seeing her son two year old has a rare brain disease and has been receiving treatment at a children's hospital in the u.s. for five months now and denies not expected to survive and he's being kept on life support so his mother could visit him his father has pleaded with authorities to allow his wife into the u.s. despite the travel ban the state department has not commented on the family's request trump's ban targets people from muslim majority countries including iran libya somalia syria and yemen as you know my work was denied it turned to turned to the u.s. this year so. i mustn't of dylan's only two years or reseller break his birthday just two days ago so i am here today to support and help bring my family together for the one last time i think now we see the muslim bands affecting the most dehumanizing way and we're running out of time we're calling for the department of

state to issue a muslim ban waiver to allow them as well of the wife of a u.s. citizen the mother of a u.s. citizen to hold her child one last time and to allow her to mourn with dignity one of the world's largest defense contractors has warned the canadian government of liability if it scraps a defense deal with saudi arabia canada's prime minister justin trudeau has said he is looking for a way out of the multi-billion dollar agreement after the murder of saudi journalist. involvement in the war in yemen. the murder of a journalist is absolutely unacceptable that's why canada from the very beginning has been demanding answers and solutions on that secondly we inherited actually a fifteen billion dollar contract silly and by stephen harper to export light armored vehicles to saudi arabia we are engaged with the export permits to try and see if there is a way of no longer exporting these vehicles to saudi arabia usa strikes have killed

more than sixty people in somalia the military says all of. the armed groups. the pentagon says the attacks over the weekend. were in coordination with somalia's federal government a somali intelligence official told media that military vehicles and a camp for hate patty cohen has this update from washington the u.s. military not giving out a ton of details but they do say that on december fifteenth air strikes were launched at about forty kilometers southwest of the capital mogadishu and that thirty four fighters were killed airstrikes the following day on the sixteenth killed another twenty eight fighters for al shabaab the u.s. military says they don't believe any civilians were killed or injured in the bombing campaign these are to press is reporting that sources inside the somali government say that the reason for the attack was they believed al shabaab was about to launch an attack on a somali government military facility so the air strikes were called in we've seen

a pretty sizable increase in the number of air strikes in somalia since u.s. president donald trump came to office he's given the u.s. military pretty much across the globe more authority to launch air strikes this will be the most airstrikes in recent memory in somalia conducted by the u.s. in cooperation with the somali government this brings the total to forty six airstrikes for the year. twitter says it's fixed a bug in its system that made it possible for users data to be hacked the breach reveals partial phone numbers and country codes from people filing out filling out customer support form the social media giant says it fixed a problem last month during that investigation twitter says a large number of inquiries came from china where target is banned and saudi arabia meanwhile russia is being accused of using every social media platform possible to influence the twenty sixteen presidential election in donald trump's favor to new reports say it's still working to support him millions of social media polls have

been studied in the first comprehensive analysis provided by someone other than the social media companies themselves alan fischer reports in washington. if you can think of a social media platform there's a strong chance the russians used it to try to influence the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election from you tube facebook and twitter to read it and instagram and more to reports commissioned by the u.s. senate intelligence committee says russia's internet research agency or i r e try to capitalize on divisions in u.s. politics it pushed more than ten million tweets more than one thousand you tube videos and their own one hundred sixteen thousand instagram posts all together that translated into a potential of reaching more than one hundred forty million people. one of the reports concluded what is clear all of the messaging clearly sought to benefit the republican party and specifically donald trump but one expert says it's not clear

if just pushing the message had any impact the russian certainly tried to interfere in american elections and continue to try and interfere in american politics are they actually making a difference it's not clear what they're doing legal in some of the more indictments of shown certainly not but it's really important thing to separate out affective mess from legality and morality right these are all survive different issues and difference of stakes a place reports say that the russians push conservatives on key issues like gun rights and immigration while sending misinformation to largely democratic supporting african-american voters are doing them to boycott elections and they support u.s. intelligence reports of russian interference and the action of special counsel robert miller who's investigating possible russian collusion in the election to indict a number of russian hackers and officials president donald trump has both criticized possible russian interference and described it also as a hoax president putin he just said it's not russian except our intelligence

community his conclusion that russia is meddling in the two thousand and six election took place the reports also criticized the tech firms who provided data to the investigators saying that they seem to provide no more than the minimum information required and will add to pressure on those firms to do more to prevent election interference the report does not cover any potential action in the recent mid-term elections the committee's leading democrat mark warner says it's time to get serious in addressing the challenge of interference and he hopes there could be legislative action to follow alan fischer al-jazeera washington. aina fried is the chief technology correspondent at x. news website she says it would be difficult for social media companies to completely stop their platforms from being manipulated even if you spotted it is fake and facebook and twitter spot millions of fake accounts every day it's so easy

to set up a new one so you know it's kind of there's this american game whack a mole you're constantly you know you're doing one thing and another one's popping up a little bit out of this is like in obviously the techniques don't stay the same just as the platforms and governments are getting better at spotting it russia and others that are looking interfere developing new techniques themselves there's a couple of areas where the platforms are faulted in these reports that are faulted not only for missing it obviously in two thousand and sixteen but also providing just the minimal information to investigators and that's a serious issue obviously if we're going to try and stop this in the future we need all the information possible next we're going to has taken all the bits that it identified as potentially coming from russia's internet research agency and made those available to researchers that is a step they can be both in seeing how they operate and potentially spotting trends to prevent future it's. still ahead on the program thousands rally in chardon ca in
