on al-jazeera. al-jazeera where ever you. zero. zero i maryam namazie this is the news hour live from london coming up in the next sixty minutes yemen's who feel rebels had control of a vital part of the data to the navy and coast guard under u.n. supervision egypt says its security forces have killed forty people they are calling terrorists following the attack on

a tourist bus in giza. and of pleas for peace on the eve of the democratic republic of congo's controversial and long delayed election. christiane eldo ensures events unbeaten record in italy syria when all those schools twice for the league leaders in a two one win over some tory. security officials in yemen as saying that the rebels have handed over control of the vital polls have data to the government's navy and coast guard a ceremony was held to mark the transfer which is being carried out under the supervision of the united nations as part of a peace deal reached in sweden earlier this month and saudi backed forces of also agreed to open up humanitarian aid corridors starting with the road from data to the capital. well for his i've also started redeploying from her data as part of

the un brokered peace agreement both sides are also expected to pull their forces out of the city and the surrounding province in the coming days. from. the army transferred to control of the ports to the interior ministry coastguards they will not protect the port the forces will be given a redeployment according to sweden's peace agreement the agreement with the redeployment needs to take place to protect the city. well the international community has been trying for years to a version all out government assault on her data which is the country's main port on the red sea it handles about seventy percent of yemen's imports of commercial goods and eight now that means that it's a vital lifeline for some fifteen point nine million yemenis who are suffering severe hunger in the impoverished nation of thirty million so let's discuss was for

that was used with used health a man who is the middle east and north africa program director at the international crisis group in brussels thank you very much for taking the time to speak to us what more can you tell us about the redeployment of hoofy forces in and around the port of data what are you hearing about this. well what we're hearing is that the first step has been taken with the forces have handed over control as they said they would and as they agreed to on the day the so-called stockholm agreement concluded to really dismantle. and and that is a very important first step because it means that the port operations will come under the technical control of the united nations and in turn could mean different supply and the regular traffic of goods will continue into the northern highlands but a majority of the population lives but there are still very important steps to be taken including the redeployment of both hooty forces and government of yemen

forces which are coordinated by the united arab emirates from and inside to know around the city and then further into the crossroads. and we were speaking earlier about the the saudi role in all of this and of course the success of this agreement will depend very much on what the parties actually do on the ground but can you confirm have you established that if the forces have actually withdrawn them from the port. de do who he forces have withdrawn from the borders first we understand and handed over power to know who she forces meaning civilian forces those of the government of yemen. there are of course concerns that some of the people taking over are themselves in civilian clothes but i think if to the extent

that this is true this is almost inevitable because there are many people in the ports who are working there in various capacities part of the public sector whose loyalties may be with either one group but who are simply trying to do their work and i think. under u.n. supervision these people should be able and allowed to to carry out a job. we know that yemen has been on the brink of famine and the situation there has been described as a humanitarian disaster throughout this year do you anticipate that as we as we go into two thousand and nineteen that we might just now have reached a turning point in the conflict well. it's certainly to be hoped that this is so not going to make any predictions we've had many setbacks in the past we've seen other agreements broken by the parties and so we need to be

cautious in our optimism yet the fact that this first step was taken is really important without that step we cannot make progress and so we really have to hope and work towards further steps for implementing the stockholm agreement at this point all right well thank you very much for taking the time to share your thoughts with us is helton program director for middle east and north africa that for the crisis point thank you. all staying in yemen people in the city of thais have been calling on the local government to improve security after a rise in gang violence hundreds gathered in the city center to protest against a number of killings they want local authorities to crack down on criminal groups operating in the area. meanwhile a two year old boy his yemeni mother sued the u.s. government to let her into the country to see him has died his son died in

along the eight hundred twenty two kilometer border between the two countries kurdish forces a miles from friday that they had been forced to cut a deal with president bush out of a set of that they were abundant by donald trump. the complete withdrawal of u.s. troops from syria a little over a week ago. here syrian troops deployed in support of kurdish forces us seen on the edge of mom bitch their deployment creates a government buffer achi across north from syria which fully separates the tukey and its proxies from the kurds but they are yet to enter the city of money bitch as they claimed on friday. we haven't seen any movement of the syrian army in miami beach all we see are the military council of money huge numbers. the conflicting reports from them but perhaps sure the cales thoughts likely to ensue and of the

sixty to one hundred day timetable for the withdrawal of u.s. troops with the remaining fighting forces in syria scum to replace them in more squash high level toughest immigration led by foreign minister lute children children's health talks with russian foreign and defense ministers they discuss the situation in syria as u.s. forces flip it to withdrawal few of us in the super nine understanding was reached on how military representatives of russia and turkey will continue to coordinate the steps on the ground under new conditions with a view of finally rooting out terrorists three since syria. we discussed the latest developments in syria with regards to the u.s. decision to withdraw from the country we exchange views on how we can coordinate our efforts from now on we stressed our resolve to fight against terrorist organizations we have a common will to clear all terror organizations from syrian lands to also result to respect serious to the total integrity something diplomats say might spell

a bigger role for government forces in cut is held areas of the north east. with the city and opposition groups and with the un back political process in topples bashar al assad is now trying to shape is what i asked the un is already looking for funds to rebuild the country the u.s. troops pull out how about threatens open an up any for other regional up just like iran and tukey something assad's opponents can't counter mohamed at all just the into gaza. well now egyptian security forces are saying that they have killed forty people during raids in the sinai peninsula in quite a car area egypt's government says the dead were terrorists who were preparing attacks on government and terrorism facilities as well as christian churches a statement came hours after a bomb targeted a terrorist bus in cairo killing three foreigners and the egyptian two guides matheson has mall. a burned out shell all that remains of a tour bus hit by

a roadside bomb near kabul she works as we saw people carry the dead bodies some people brought the wounded inside a number lengths to take them to hospital and residents of the area helped carry the injured all of them were told us. fourteen vietnamese tourists were on board when the bomb exploded in a district close to the giza pyramids here in new york about. sometimes attacks such as this one can occur it may even happen again in the future and it isn't a country in the world where we can say is one hundred percent safe tourists in egypt have sometimes been targeted as the government has tried to suppress armed groups in the sinai peninsula tourism is key to egypt's struggling economy where you're doing the signaling to the egyptian regime that they're moving out of their own territory and now attacking the very primary source of income for many egyptians about thirty percent of the economy goes to tourism. within hours of the

bombing the egyptian government published photographs it said showed some of what it called thirty suspected militants killed by security forces in raids in cairo's giza district egypt's government says the men had been planning attacks on tourists and state institutions a further ten armed fighters are reported to have been killed in the north of the sinai peninsula i think a lot of people would be asking how is it that within hours of this attack this large number of suspects was not only identified. but gauged success for the killed if the intelligence or within egypt is that good why were there not able to detect and disrupt this attack the remaining victims of the last are being treated in hospital meanwhile investigators are trying to work out how go to his bus two people and egypt's heavily secured capital matheson al jazeera. i have for you in this news hour from london fear of violence and intimidation

opponents i joined politics twenty five years ago and i started from the bottom i was just in to lead the party grassroots and succeeded to where i am i am my father's son but i am also my own man. the candidates are promising much the same. we deal with security issues because the economy and corruption provide the basics jobs education health care but. we talk to say some of those pledges are not realistic and maybe hard to implement we need to plan ahead this country we need to plan for the next thirty years at least we know that we will be accumulating results we don't need to flush out the results we don't need to to the situation and give it a color we need to transform the country the election process has been caretaker and many people are not confident the poor will be credible but those we talked to say they will vote anyway if been waiting for two years for the opportunity

were killed the ruling coalitions presidential candidate amazon is shattering is on a european union sanctions list following filing crackdowns on protests the government denies orchestrating rights abuses and they suspended the use ambassador in response if president joseph kabila told us the electoral process is sensitive so during an electoral process you have tensions the most important thing is to have the necessary police force that's well equipped in order to give that a given point in time we did not have that capacity but we've been building that capacity and there are a hopes the election will change not just the leader but the whole system that's for her brother rossi for for but even if change comes he'll never see it as malcolm webb al-jazeera kinshasa in the democratic republic of congo. well

to bangladesh now a people are gathering up for sunday's parliamentary elections that off is though about violence and intimidation possibly keeping many away from the polls to opposition candidates have already queues the police have barricading them inside their homes others praise shakers in his ruling party for improving bangladesh's economy and lifting millions out of poverty child strafford reports from dakka. muhammad of the assault has been the manager of this restaurant to the bottom of this she capital dhaka for three years but still she first a rickshaw drivers and passes by but over two weeks of violence in the build up to national elections on sunday the hama parade is a devoted to vigorously for the perpetrators of what might happen in the parlance will affect my life we may be. the prime minister she has seen as a woman a leak which is seeking

a third consecutive five year term in power has denied accusations of intimidating opposition candidates journalists. the leader of the main opposition congregation nationalists party leaders is serving a ten year jail term for two separate corruption cases. zia herself has been prime minister twice has been bitter rivalry between the two often called matriarchs of bangladesh politics but decades. which is to make it around six hundred thousand members of various security forces the military police to be deployed for sunday's elections opposition parties say at least ten thousand six hundred of their supporters have been detained in the run up to these elections and at least seventeen of their candidates now you know when i say shit human rights watch says that the atmosphere of fear and repression is not consistent with holding credible elections and some opposition candidates say that members of the security forces

and supporters of the ruling party have surrounded their homes stopped them from leaving and prevented them from campaigning in their local areas. at least ten people have been killed during election campaign from both sides this video shows what the opposition says was an attack by ruling party supporters on a group of all position politicians including the man leading the b.n.p. alliance well the party's leader. is imprisoned saya double baucus of the it was among those at times they were arrested every day on an average of twenty people till yesterday that he's twenty eight december in eighteen days two hundred plus people those are carrying my election materials either leaflet or pamphlet are stickers. two hundred plus people is that all my hard core leaders and workers

says vote for an opposition candidate in the election. whatever the outcome it is violence during and after the vote that many people like you feel that most stop at al-jazeera daca. the us president has blamed the democratic party for the deaths of two guatemalan children in u.s. custody this month eight year old philippe gomez a long time and seven year old jacqueline collin mckean both died after being detained by border authorities donald trump criticize what he called the pathetic immigration policies of the democrats saying the flow of asylum seekers north and central america would stop if his proposed border wall gets the green light well as let's now speak to mike hanna because he is in washington and mike incendiary rhetoric and language from president trump essentially blaming the democrats for the deaths of these two young children what has been the reaction there. indeed

certainly this type of tweet which has come out in the course of the day very very serious indeed viewed by the opposition as such particularly by democrats pointing out that there's absolutely no evidence whatsoever to this particular claim but these type of claims is not the first time that president trump has to put it mildly stretched the truth about a particular issue he's been in the white house alone he had cancelled two is settled sixteen day holiday to florida his wife is now returned to florida however he is at the white house alone clearly watching lots of television and tweeting a number of times indicating blame he says for to the democrats for this ongoing shutdown now into its eighth day and showing no sign whatsoever of backing down on this issue showing no sign whatsoever of bringing the shutdown to an end or playing

any part in that. and we were hearing earlier on about immigration authorities in el paso texas releasing migrants onto the streets of paso because there aren't enough resources to deal with them clearly the system is overwhelmed do we know about any sort of measures that are being put in place how much concern is there about this there in washington. well there were a spectrum of reports over the last few days that indeed that this was happening is that officials at the border customs and border protection officials have simply been dropping people have come across the border off at bus stops in one particular case the reason for this is indeed the overwhelmed facilities yes that is a part of it but of course the shutdown to the government shutdown the federal shutdown involves tens of thousands of customs and border patrol officers many of

them are being forced to work without pay but a large number of those who have been working in the border areas have been sent home without pay so what we're already overstretched resources are now absolutely desperately struggling to try and keep operating now the homeland secretary homeland security secretary has visited the border area she's investigating what the situation is at this particular point however this certainly does appear to be a crisis of kind brought in part by the shutdown which has been provoked because the president continues to insist on getting some six billion dollars for his border wall thank you very much like cannon with all the latest there from washington thank you mike. will still ahead for you this hour new satellite images show the indonesian volcano which triggered a tsunami has lost three quarters of its masts kenyans are being asked to give up my guns but many fear for their lives if they do. and in sport the former captain

of england's national team is salah pricing a big wave in scotland and he will be here with that story and. how i got lots of malva and now tumbling it's why and see northwestern parts of europe care to see if this area class spilling in from the atlantic stand that's why we do have such cloudy conditions but at least it's picking the temperature rob looking a highs of around eleven or twelve for london even paris in this time which is not up for a time fourteen in madrid it's not particularly high temperature here but that's about as warm as i can five on a child just arrived and for a athens eastern side if you're very cold that moist air that mall there since that bout that comes in we're looking at a fair bit of right with

a little bit of snow where the leading edge said to be some snow over the high ground of the alps possibility of some avalanches across parts of scandinavia over the next couple days with these rising temperatures see have its way in the standard feeding in from a southwest direction a cool direction for london wallasey dry little bit of a mist of folks still something even a. small parts of africa will see a temperatures getting up to around fifteen or sixteen celsius think going to out across central parts of the mediterranean could produce one or two showers along the libyan coast for a time eventually pushing over towards egypt to karo have a top temperature of ninety. i've had this conviction that everyone has a deep reservoir of time the ability and if you can give them the opportunity wonderful things start to happen sometimes the simplest seditions author missed and

packed for. the main things that sets out zero apart from other news organizations is that a lot of our reporting is about real people but about ideas or politicians and what they may want to do but how policy and how events affect real people it's ok it's ok it's ok to have a little more complicated i'll put it up if this is not an act of clear i'm going to move the walking. down like my family's status and wealth has benefited from their choice to enslave. some of us so stalwart risky to speak out as a surprise that. this job isn't just about what's on a script or a piece of paper it's about what is happening right now.

just a quick rundown of the top stories for you yemen's whose the rebels are saying they've handed control of the vital port of the data to the navy and coast guard the transfer is being carried out under the supervision of the united nations but the government is denying the who claim turkey assented least fifty more tanks to its border with syria in preparation for a possible attack on the kurdish y p g s as russia and turkey agreed to keep cooperating in syria as u.s. forces prepare to withdraw. and egyptian security forces have killed forty people they call suspected terrorists during raids in the sinai peninsula and kyra it follows a bomb attack on a tourist bus in cairo that killed three foreigners and that the chip shop guy. person's immigration minister is to find at the government's handling of the rise

in migrants and refugees crossing the english channel or than two hundred twenty people that attempt at the crossing since november will get the view from the british side of the channel on the moment but begins our report in cali from the messages being sent to families in africa the middle east iran and afghanistan will be about failed attempts to make. electricity comes for just a couple of hours a day from generators provided by local charities. this camp has nothing but the around six hundred migrants stuck here on a freezing windy december day it's a hopeless place living conditions here are just making people every very desperate and the rebels who did way over. to escape here some migrants are now prepared to pay smugglers to cross the channel in rubber boats for others the risk is too great and if you tried taking a boat. then you know i want to save my lives. and

a good lesson for the good this is important my life this is then you lose the board this is this is going to have the money the french and british governments have spent millions of dollars for to find a port against people trying to stow away on lorries it's one theory why more people are turning to boats the migrants that lost themselves into the channel in rubber dinghies from here risk high seas strong currents freezing water and they risk collision in one of the world's busiest shipping lanes my colleague sonia guy i go picks up the story and go. exhausted and freezing these people made a hazardous journey on the flimsiest of vessels rubber dinghies this latest sudden surge in numbers of those arriving like this has alerted british authorities to the dangers of a possible catastrophic accident in this stretch of water off the southern coast so

much so that the british home secretary is now treating this as a major incident on saturday the immigration minister went to the town of dover to meet border offices they say it has been difficult to keep up with the numbers of people who have arrived in these circumstances and what they need is help to effectively patrol the area and closer working relations with officials across the channel in france what we're doing is constantly reviewing the resources that we need continuing the really important. the french and it's absolutely critical that we share information at the highest on the most effective level because of course what we want to do is to make sure that people don't set sail across the channel making really perilous journeys at a treacherous time of the year it may only be a fifty kilometer journey between kalai and dover but the english channel is also one of the world's busiest shipping lanes and while some politicians hid in britain have called for more patrols the concern is is that this will merely encourage

others to come and make that dangerous journey the latest route shows how despite the dangers many are desperate enough to risk everything to make it here and to escape the difficult conditions in makeshift camps in france but even if they make it here there is no guarantee that they can stay here sonny diagonal al-jazeera. three years since hundreds of thousands of refugees and migrants and to germany at the time the government said they could be integrated into german society despite strong opposition from conservatives and far right groups dominant kanan by lynn looks at how successful efforts have been it's a busy morning for romney re how he's a software developer the clerk in a steel workshop as such he's an important part of an international team to see him at work you'd never think three years ago he was a refugee one whose progress chancellor angela merkel has seen for herself

his is a success story but he says because he used his own initiative there is a lot bureaucracy here and if i waited to get the german class i would be doing nothing i would be waiting because the first three hundred people the first six months and. and if i waited. for something i think people should not things in their own hands but what of the many others who were drawn by the open borders and merkel's determined humanitarianism the vast majority of those who came in twenty fifteen received refugee status and with it housing welfare and help to learn german but many who arrived since have not been so fortunate and has struggled to get more than temporary jobs. people like. him who status remains unresolved a few months ago he told me of his experience since twenty fifteen is when i get

a political situation in iraq was not safe for me i wanted to be able to lead a normal life of freedom but so far here i haven't found the government agency that regulates this entire sector is this one the federal employment ministry and it says that in october eighteen thousand asylum applications were processed all of which around two out of five cases saw a positive outcome last month one hundred seventy seven thousand refugees were registered as an employed a slight increase on the same time period from last year all together three hundred seventy three thousand refugees are classified as being underemployed. so why has germany struggled to integrate so many people in the refugee population that arrives in germany many don't have that vocational training because it's quite a young population so there is a massive challenge just to training people on the job and then there is an issue of legal certainty ultimately put to the used uncle

a man who will say that integrating so many people would be one of the biggest challenges modern germany has ever faced but i mean really how he is one of many who have prospered but there are many more who have not done it came. in. have been violent protests in the french city of annoyance as these so-called yellow vests demonstrations continue for a sixth week on hundreds of protesters marched through the city and riot police used tear gas to disperse some of them as the march turned violent a hundred people also took part in protests in paris where they gathered outside leading organizations to condemn what they've called this information coverage of the yellow vest movement well now russia has rejected calls by the leaders of france and germany to release ukrainian sailors captured near crimea last month twenty four members of the ukrainian navy were detained after russian forces opened fire on them in the coach strait which links the black sea with the hours of c.

to violate the borders of the state. the sixty kilometer fence is built to deter would russia describes as sabotage groups along with illegal trafficking of weapons and drugs but critics say its main objective is not security it's more likely a propaganda move by russia to demonstrate strengthening security separating from ukraine and to make sure that as they say infiltrator groups won't be able to cross the border in future i underline once again it's mere propaganda. a cease fire between russian backed separatist forces and ukraine a set to begin on saturday it's one of several cease fire says russia annexed crimea from ukraine in two thousand and fourteen against international law the un estimates more than ten thousand people have been killed in the conflict. french president a mineral mccrone and german chancellor angela merkel have welcomed the ceasefire they pledged to keep up pressure for the implementation of a two thousand and fifteen peace deal in eastern ukraine the french and german

their communities safe from tribal conflict. kenya's rural gun culture is more need based what you see. it is for the. government a security forces in those areas and therefore protect themselves. most kenyans don't necessarily welcome firearms those who faced injustice political and economic exclusion or have been marginalized in some way say they need weapons to defend themselves because no one else will critics of the government plan say disarming kenyans means first addressing their security concerns and winning hearts and minds. so ahead why one of. the country's cooks making it with the. throw away and breaking moment for this have that story and we're.
