feeling myself when. let you know. this is a very indisciplined group not many nobles taking part in it poor leadership they're desperate for money they're poorly funded they are to kill and get money wherever they can one of the criticisms of people hermits armies and indeed other crusader on this is that they attack fellow christians coreligionists they often did this for practical reasons. all routes they are to seize whatever they can get to survive so they will take property crops prisoners if they can anything to keep themselves going and if that happens to be
9:14 pm
christians or it happens to be jews then that is just for a second so the ways they are simply trying to keep themselves go. again and. what's going to is one them and they learn. a lot of them one. after over four months of exhausting marching across europe. the peoples crusade to reach the buys on time capital constantinople. the crossing point to asia and the holy land.

9:20 pm
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 recognise that this that this eruption is ongoing would bend create a tsunami in this particular case demonstrations have begun across so dan in its fifth day of protests against food and fuel prices at least ten people have died since a rally began last wednesday schools and universities are closed in at least five states the turkish army is sending soldiers to the syrian border just days after u.s. president donald trump announced he was withdrawing american troops the turkish president wants the y. p.g. troops removed from northern syria the kurdish groups gain significant control of the area after being backed by u.s. forces in the fight against isis. sunday marks two years since al jazeera journalist mahmoud hussein's arrest in egypt his imprisonment has been repeatedly

a hit in the highly don't get on to think of it i've done few so-called aswat of course. but marching in the name of religion failed to bring down the walls. so the crusaders fell back on the usual method. for five weeks they laid siege to the holy city. demanding that can i say at the scene. to mean can open still really have a seal. had with us a long time. later they did sort of share. it with almost all the media forethought and reduce the limits of their goodness allowed within eight. deaths i will say he would have edited britain's.
9:40 pm
can and then. better would be. younger than you. that's and it's. the show that the man is she as if. it was very difficult for crusaders to distinguish between local muslim population local jewish population and local christian population because they all looked the same the old it's like arabs. just for the thought that a lot of things and enough for nothing will behold be the root and then the messiah has come out of cash at the end where. norman is said ian money the.

9:44 pm
muslim revival began. soul the ground was laid for another two centuries. the crusades. mourned the most and the initial response had been inadequate but now it was time for a bible buckle and was the muslims now moved from merely reacting to taking action putting the western crusaders on the defensive with hindsight this is seen as a breakthrough as a revival of the jihad in the muslim near east the crusades an arab perspective at the so to revive at this time on
9:45 pm
a. from the beyond my points of asia. to the safety of the streams. and there were lots of showers i propose to south america at the moment the satellite picture is picking them up quite nicely stretching from the north east impose a brazilian hoofing only way around and down towards this of the puzzle brazil and this is where we're seeing some of the wettest of the weather at the moment it's still going to be so good for the remainder of sunday out on monday it will just be pushing a little bit further towards the north to the south a more of that is generally a little dry and pretty woman the moment to point is always all the way up at twenty nine degrees to santiago on monday will be at thirty two after the central
9:46 pm
americans we have had a very active from with us over the past few days you can see it here new figures way northwoods that is giving us some heavy downpours and some coastal flooding in cuba particularly around have bene that system still with us as we head through sunday eventually brookins did break up on monday but you can still see plenty of humidity down in the south and so here we'll be seeing some showers to the north and generally that's where the cooler weather is at the moment and that cool air extends all the way towards the north as well so pretty cool for many of us in canada and the u.s. we're one system that is putting away from the east that's given a some very very heavy rain but another one it's working its way in from the pacific what's windy and pretty snow here. the weather sponsored by cats on race. a war which produced one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world they will take shots even when they should not i believe that
9:47 pm
sometimes what the saudis have been doing. this story behind the deadly attack by the saudi led coalition forces on a school bus in yemen which killed forty children. yemen the sort of bus bombing on al jazeera one of the really special things about working for al jazeera is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much empathy and contribution to a story a feel we cover this region better than anyone else would be what it is you know is that he chose the body but the good because you have a lot of people that are divided on political issues we are we the people we live to tell the real stories just mended is to deliver in-depth journalism we don't feel inferior to the audience across the globe. they wanted forty three billion dollars with a weapon that was six billion in commission. there
9:48 pm
is no hope of any more because there's always a small vehicle for really really good business. in essence we in the united states have privatized the ultimate public function more shadow on al-jazeera. this is. hello and welcome to this al-jazeera news hour on martine dennis coming up in the next sixty minutes destruction without warning a volcano triggers
9:49 pm
a tsunami in indonesia demolishing everything in its path. i think fuel to the fire we report from sudan on a fifth day of protests across the country. the moment a policeman pulls out his gun yellow vests demonstrations in paris take a nasty turn. and it was late to get on board but now trains are transforming travel around green. now a country that sits on what's known as the ring of fire is dealing with yet another catastrophe a tsunami has hit indonesia killing at least two hundred twenty two people more than seven hundred others are injured in nickels those numbers are changing all the time scientists say it was triggered by landslides from the eruption of
9:50 pm
a volcano and that. the tsunami swept along the straits and crashed twenty meters inland taking with it hundreds of homes and head tells on the shoals of java and some other islands. 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 meters inland killing dozens and injuring hundreds. more interest in the morning so there was a forty three weeks ago here ranging from you know under our one hundred two meters 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 toa that's a volcanic island formed over years from the nearby carcass how
9:51 pm
a volcano search and rescue operation is now underway for survivors who were very close to the family gets we were able to truly say. because this is a traumatic event especially given all of the things the indonesians suffered in the last you know for months in september more than two thousand five hundred people were killed by a quake and tsunami that hit the city of paolo on the island of soloway sea which is just east of borneo indonesia on the ring of fire. it's it's it's there's always volcanic eruptions happening there there are 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
9:52 pm
disaster over a holiday weekend is expected to increase as rescuers reach affected areas or such a party al jazeera alive is speaking to have a handley his associate professor vulcanology at mcquarrie university in sydney and she explained why this tsunami was so unexpected. this current phase eruption started around june this year so we've seen a lot of small volcanic eruptions where we get these lava bombs each read 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 our they're not quite sure yet but they suspect that where this magma is multi rock is coming into the system under the ground that's then either the stabilized part of a flank so part of the slate that was just created or is pushed apart stuck underneath the ground because it's been ongoing there because it is quite small scale eruption beseen frequent signs of eruption but there was no significant
9:53 pm
earthquake attached to this volcanic eruption that 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 there were more demonstrations taking place in sudan following four days of protests that have at times turned violent at least ten people have been killed so far and it all began over the rising cost of food and feel but has since grown to demand an end to president obama al bashir or miss thirty year rule doctors are among the latest to join in saying they will go on an indefinite strike let's pick that up with solomon who's a specialist in the horn of africa incident at the british foreign affairs think tank chatham house he's joining us from new bliss in our land thank you for taking
9:54 pm
the time to talk to us to help make a challenge is this then to the rule of omar al bashir. i think these are very significant them and stationed there on a much bigger scale and widespread and we've seen previously in two thousand and thirteen and also last year when the price hikes were announced on a new bio jet and they seem to be much more politically charged as well what we're seeing in spontaneous protests sparked by these worsening can could living conditions and people genuine hunger and then there's this strong politicized element to it with the opposition groups trying to push for political change so the protesters largely are not what we're seeing but what what they were has been and you and you talked about some of the confrontation and violence is targeting and burning of the government the n.c.p. headquarters in official buildings and placed in sudan so that's an escalation we haven't seen before and used you say that has been in response of crap from the
9:55 pm
government which is seen people being killed and others being injured so. this is definitely much more prominent than we have seen recently in sudan and that's i think because of the worsening economic situation which the government has been trying to get a grip on in the last year and it is very much to say the economic situation is only game to get worse despite there being office of contributions to help out from coming from cata and from kuwait this is a mouse isn't it to economic mismanagement on the part of of the sudanese government while speak for having to pay more for the price of bread there are wars still being conducted within sadat for being among among them. exactly right there are several conflicts in in the two areas and in duffel being the most prominent in the quote the fan regions. and and those are ongoing in the government has been
9:56 pm
prioritizing allocating money to the security sector in order to to to keep those. under control if you will and in doing so it's neglected the sectors and investing in the economy and i think also there you have issues of corruption and another air is pervasive military involved in the economy so there are there are several reasons but the government i think has come to realize asian that there needs to be a change in the economic running of the country and has taken steps and we've seen you know u.s. economic sanctions being lifted in the last year year or so. but that really hasn't made a difference as an things yet and i think there needs to be further economic reform if things are to improve for the general public but the bottom line i guess is that a while but here is a minute to man himself and the question is where does the military stand in all of
9:57 pm
this. that's a difficult question i think at the moment they they will stand with him and bashir has has quite tight control around the military and with the national intelligence you have seen the national intelligence leave the south and go shoot for she brought back in quite critical of of some of the response to the protests in the country at the moment but he's also said that it is part of an israeli conspiracy and has been training of forces opposition forces by and it's direct israeli intelligence so at the moment the government has a handle on the military but of course if protests were to escalate and further without without an economic response something to offset and ease people then then then we could see conditions change in that regard but i think it's too soon to speculate and we've been here before i think in two thousand and thirteen with
9:58 pm
