happen terribly soon and that is because democrats know the president does not have the votes in the u.s. senate in order to pass his five billion dollars in border wall funding that he wants for the southern border you need a supermajority in the senate in order to pass legislation like that and he simply does not yet have the votes so the two sides remain at an impasse and chuck schumer the democratic leader told the president speaking on the floor of the senate if you want to open the government you must abandon the wall and he went on to say the wall will come not today not next week not next year so it does seem like the two sides are far apart at monday and tuesday are holidays the full impact of the government shutdown probably will not be felt until wednesday and of course democrats may simply wait until january third that is when democrats take over control of the u.s. house of representatives and at that time they believe that they can definitively

stop funding for the president's wall so the democrats believe time is on their side. iran's revolutionary guards have held military exercises in the strategic strait of hormuz where much of the oil traded by sea passes through. the annual exercises showcased combat helicopters and drones on friday the iranian army trailed the u.s. aircraft carrier in the gulf iran is under increasing pressure from the u.s. which is reimposed sanctions. a u.n. team has landed in yemen to observe the departure of saudi government forces and fighters from her data the two sides agreed to a cease fire in the port city during talks in sweden the area is the entry point for most food aid into a country that is of war reports arriving in aden the head of a united nations monitoring mission patrick is a retired dutch general with experience in some of the world's worst conflicts the

hello welcome to this hour jazeera news hour live from doha i'm martine dennis coming up in the next sixty minutes destruction without warning a volcanic eruption triggers a tsunami in indonesia demolishing homes and hotels. adding fuel to the fire we go live to sudan as a fifth day of protests are expected across the country. the moment a policeman pulls out his gun yellow vest protests in paris take a nasty. and it was late to get on board but now trains are transforming travel around. that is a country that is old and what is known as the ring of fire and yet again it's

dealing with a catastrophe a tsunami has hit indonesia at least one hundred sixty eight people have been killed more than seven hundred others at this stage we understand who have been injured but these are figures of course of the changing all the time that scientists say it was triggered by on the sea landslides because of the eruption of the volcano and that. the tsunami swept along the soon to straighten it crashed twenty mazes in the land taking with it hundreds of homes and hotels on the shoals of java and some other islands also jabari reports. a concert by the indonesian pop band seventeen in western java came to an abrupt end when waves from a tsunami swept away the stage musicians and fans. the water flowed up to twenty metres in land killing dozens and injuring hundreds. more in with mr bush in the morning so the result forty two weeks of retreat from you know under our leader

two leaders so this could have been much worse. indonesia's meteorology and geophysics agency believes the waves could have been caused by undersea landslides from the eruption of kaka tele that's a volcanic island formed over years from the nearby carcass how a volcano search and rescue operation is now underway for survivors who were very close to the family tree. we were able to retrieve those were because this is a traumatic event especially given all of the things that the indonesian starred in the last you know four months in september more than two thousand five hundred people were killed by a quake and tsunami that hit the city of palo on the island of soloway sea which is just east of borneo. indonesia is still in the ring of fire it's it's it's there's always volcanic eruptions happening there always. sometimes there are

tsunamis. and it's really no more active than normal actually it's just every now and then there's a confluence of events which unfortunately results in people being kind of literally swept up in these disasters and the number of casualties from this disaster over a holiday weekend is expected to increase as rescuers reach affected areas dorsetshire pari al jazeera are we now seem to have a handle his associate professor vulcanology engineer chemistry mcquarrie university she's joining us from sydney in australia thanks very much for talking to us sadly indonesia is rather used to these kinds of events but does this particular volcanic eruption with undersea landslides does it differ from what they've seen before. so yeah the area is very active been up and uneasier has

around one hundred twenty nine active volcanoes so there's a lot of activity going on and kept a terrorist out so quick a tarot erupted in one thousand nine hundred three and everyone's very familiar with that big famous russian which is a really big powerful one since then around and in one nine hundred twenty s. we've had what we call the the baby and crack a tab star and that crack a town that's was the reporting at the moment so since the one nine hundred twenty s. this volcano is being ripped kind of in the hole that crack a ta made and it's been written since one thousand nine hundred twenty used to present day on an arc this current phase eruption started around june this year so we've seen a lot of rule volcanic eruptions where we get these lava bombs red glowing rocks being thrown out of the volcano and lava has been kind of coming down the flanks on to the south southern side and what may have happened is related to air they're not quite sure yet but they suspect that where these mag rather small to rock is coming into the system under the ground that's then either the stabilized part of

a flank so part of the slayer i just created pushed a part stuck underneath all their own they're really sort of external factors that influence the activity of volcanoes i'm just wondering because there was no warning given a toll and presumably therefore it's not it's not able you're not able to predict this kind of activity because there because it's been ongoing there and because it is quite small scale eruption beseen frequent signs of eruption but they was no significant earthquake attached to this volcanic eruption the last one that occurred which i think was about half an hour before the tsunami was created so it is very difficult for the author to the local authorities there to recognize that this that this eruption is ongoing would bend create a tsunami in this particular case. and presumably they the people in this region should just really expect this to happen again and again i think people in

indonesia i mean there definitely was a lot of risk not only from but again i was there from floods of. big storms so it's definitely a it's an area that has a lot of natural hazards so the authorities were really hard there rick perry once and i believe they're doing the best they can heather handley thank you very much indeed for talking to us live via skype from sydney thank you thank you thank you all right let's go to sudan now because lunchtime protests had just begun across the country in the fifth day of demonstrations against food and fuel prices at least ten people have died so far since these protests began schools in universes they've been closed in at least five states while the cities of asper and get r f under emergency rule have been morgan is our correspondent she's in the capital khartoum and hibbert so we're expecting then now the call to be observed for there

to be nationwide protests of protests across the country now as opposed to localized demonstrations yes martina the opposition yesterday came out and said at least some of the opposition came out yesterday and said that they wanted people to rally against the government against the economic policies and against the fact that there are rising food costs rising fuel costs and that people have to line up in bakeries to be able to get bread simple simple bread and even that the government had initially proposed that they wanted to hike the price of bread from one side in the out of three said in his hand and if you remember this is what sparked the protests in rebel state on wednesday and that has spread to several parts of the country including the capital khartoum where people have been complaining of rising food commodities. this is one of the main markets in battery north of the sudanese capital khartoum shoppers here see all the produce for seal have one thing in common. process is a hard tomatoes used to cost seven pounds and now it costs forty pounds or less and

i will everything is expensive the prices have been going up and there are so many things we can buy and then there is the bread crisis. the bread crisis sparked protests around the country when the government announced its plan to raise the price of a low from wanted a nice pound to three there were demonstrations the government reacted by announcing a state of emergency in some cities curfews in others and it tried to block social media platforms including facebook twitter and what's happened dozens of people have been arrested. the protesters are just frustrated at the rising cost of bread in the past year inflation has risen to almost seventy percent in january the dollar was worth thirty cities now it's almost worth if this is a nice pounds which means higher market prices and people have to queue at banks to get their cash which with the inflation barely covers their knee. the government has been using live ammunition and tear gas to disperse the crowds this is they're trying to solve economic crisis but won't tolerate protesters damaging public

property but. the government did acknowledge there is a crisis we did not to know it and we are working on resolving these issues when it comes to economic crises these things are not magically resolved overnight it takes time there are more than one party involved more than just one factor or another. president omar al bashir has ruled for almost thirty years he's been reelected several times most recently in twenty fifteen when most opposition parties boycotted the vote now sum up as groups are calling for a change in the way the country's government eat. his lunch we need a new type of for regime a new system a new leadership the issue here is not who's ruling sudan but how to govern this nation first we need a new recipe for peace we need a national transitional unity government real council. nations when it comes to the constitution. to protest are on

a scale not seen before during normal bush years time as president sudanese people seem to have lost patience and want to see an improvement in their living conditions sooner rather than later well obviously the government has called for an emergency cabinet meeting to try to find four ways to try to resolve this crisis they have already said that they don't want to use force against protesters but already we have seen ten people being killed in the protests dozens injured and even dozens more have been arrested and governments around the world have been responding differently to this protest has to despite a round of protests obviously over the past few years president omar bashir had to do with at least three different protests has been deferred in twenty thirteen people came out and protested also against the economy and in january of this year they also came out and protested also for the same reason now the government of had issued a statement saying that there are issued a travel advisory advisory that their citizens should not travel to sudan and that those who are already in the country should leave the country for their own safety the government of qatar a b. and here of qatar a shift i mean how it has formed the president omar bashir and said that he's

willing to offer support and assistance it's not clear yet what shape or form that assistance would take but the sudanese government is saying that it's going to take the form of one billion dollars to be able to get the country out of the economic crisis that it is that is currently going through whether that is going to be enough to get the protesters to back off from the streets and go back home and see changes in their in their livelihood and their conditions that's not clear yet because today again but if if the iraq people are out again protesting the economy and protesting against the government's. thank you have been morgan will keep us abreast of all developments in sudan today thank you. now an influential figure in the bosnian peace process has died from cancer at the age of seventy seven former british politician paddy ashdown served as the un's high representative in bosnia and herzegovina between the years of two thousand and two and two thousand and six he helped the country to rebuild in the aftermath of the one nine hundred ninety s. civil war before that lord ashdown led the liberal democrat party the u.k.'s third
