3:04 am
a military takeover of the police station about twenty soldiers came in and took control of the police station which is something that i have certainly never seen and and this is really very concerning in terms of who exactly is this running this thing and who has deployed the military and why are the military operating seemingly in it in playing good cop and using by the clovers and and admitting out such extreme brutality on on on ordinary citizens after my clients were lit in custody with at this police station in one scene soldiers came back to the police station to try and or seemingly to try and abducted. my clients from that police station which was thwarted. but the same soldiers or other soldiers went into a nearby township. at
3:05 am
a church my where one of my clients stays and brutally assaulted many of the people who are the who are now. seeking medical attention but this crackdown it's really something that we haven't seen in zimbabwe in a very long time and has and really makes it quite clear that that the the so-called new dispensation or second republic is no different from the garbage era if anything it may even be far worse. kenya's red cross says everyone missing after tuesday's attack on a luxury hotel complex has been accounted for at least twenty one people died in the assault and the first year olds for the victims were held in nairobi. the arm the cause behind the attack says it wasn't in retaliation for the u.s. president's decision to recognize jill's men as israel's capital. we want to send a very powerful message to them. sometimes the heat on those given enough they're
3:06 am
not scaring us now tomorrow but if we will destroy them. we support the government initiative and it's about. to make you guys look bad in all. business but it could have been a loss to get to somalia so may the government and african union your piece. on your somalia challenges airs on it i do has the latest now from nairobi the details on now getting cleared out of the top the top and here on the fourteenth rebel side a complex behind me last choose. to say the police cut out the attack here which killed dozens of people the police say that the took the atomic us about ten months to plan the horrible position they were frequent visitors taking milsom coffee in the restaurants just looking out on to see how they were going to cut out
3:07 am
the opposition and in a departure from possible talks like this one kind of praising the security forces look only how slow they want to be up to the whole incident but also. to pulled up will say from the complex behind which is you by any measure this is not a luxury hotel at all since along with all kinds of organizations and companies having offices here but also restaurants are really popular with the upper class and they will be residents of course this is a huge deal for al-shabaab it's a group that is losing ground in somalia with their bases. some of them biggest sources of revenue and. opinions to prove to the world only a full scale recall that was to somalia but also outside and in places like kenya where the cotton doll attacks like the. schools are open and it was saving them for
3:08 am
us staying in somalia special forces will be given logistical support by the united states military and that the. excuse they give for are talking this complex which was that it was because of the big question of donald trump. of jerusalem of the cup it's all of this is about many people of all about them they say would have been more lofty believe that claim but it was a tell me if i'm told i'm not speaking out against them by u.s. and u.s. support the police. and more ahead on this news hour including having survived a no confidence motion in the u.k. prime minister asks miles who tried to oust her for breck's it compromise class from the battlefield to the negotiating table will have an update on u.s. efforts to hold talks with the afghan taliban class qatar and saudi arabia meet in a politically charged asian cup match in the u.a.e.
3:09 am
be able have the latest in sports. human rights watch says the reputation of saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman has been wrecked over the murder of journalist in his latest report it says a case has called exposed a pattern of lawless behavior by the saudi leadership its pacifically criticizes the u.s. u.k. and france for refusing to stop autumn sales to the kingdom the report documents ninety one novel attacks by the saudi led coalition some of which may have amounted to war crimes in the yemen saudi arabia is also facing scrutiny over its repression of dissidents and rights activists in the past year at least nine women were detained without charge three of them have been reportedly tortured with electric shocks and whippings kenneth roth is the executive director of human wise washee says it's ironic that the saudi crown prince is still sending him self as
3:10 am
a reformer. things are actually getting worse in many respects and that's what we want to highlight here it's sad that it took the murder of a well known journalist like and off the show need for the world to focus on what the saudi government is doing you know if seems like you know thousands upon thousands of yemeni civilians can die under saudi led bombing or star under the saudi that blockade and people don't notice it's just numbers but finally somebody they can identify with their world focuses on what riyadh is actually doing so you know be that as it may it's an opportunity to put pressure on the saudi government to change under the saudi crown prince the crackdown on any step in this direction as intense about and that's the irony of describing the saudi crown prince as a reformer you know gets on the social science trying to you know rein in the religious police but on the on the political side he has zero tolerance for dissent
3:11 am
and indeed it what we've seen is that either even women who flee the country and you know by walking with their feet are implicitly criticizing the saudi crown prince he goes after them so this is a big backwards year for domestic governments in saudi arabia and that's not even counting the many yemeni civilians who died to the saudi led coalition military efforts in yemen. rish farm is a series of me has been holding talks with wyvil party leaders trying to find a way forward on break said she's reaching out after narrowly surviving a no confidence vote by the crushing defeat of her e.u. withdrawal deal the prime minister has until monday to present her plan b. to parliament if she fails to get it approved then britain faces a real prospect of breaking away from the e.u. on march twenty ninth without a deal and to avoid this a british government could propose to negotiate an entirely new agreement this would mean asking the e.u.
3:12 am
for an extension to the departure deadline other options include calling another referendum a snap election or cancelling breck's it altogether all of which prime minister may has flatly ruled out the has more from the u.k. parliament in westminster. is three's a may the british prime minister prepared to listen to anybody else's opinion that's the question everybody's asking at the moments because having not listen to anybody else's opinion and last deal on leaving the european union so catastrophic you this week she said she would take other opinions before coming back with a plan b. but what's ridiculous about is she didn't really need to host all these opposition leaders because she already knows that there's a great deal of concern about crashing out without a deal it's all people want an extension to leave the european potentially the end of the year instead or they want a second referendum and that's what they've gone in and said to her but her spokesman told us will journalists this morning that her position is still that she won't rule out no deal and she won't countenance
3:13 am
a second referendum and all these things so ill only become clear now that m.p.'s have left for the weekend and they're back in their constituencies it will become clear on monday if her position has changed at all but if it hasn't then it'll be a week and shoes day when her plan comes to a vote in the house of commons that will see what the mood is really like because a number of amendments are already being tables demanding that parliament's rule outs leaving without any deal at all and also be a vote on things like extending to the end of the year so in the end if she's not prepared to listen then the still the potential for parliament to effectively outflank her. the french prime minister meanwhile has held a cabinet meeting to discuss ways to prepare for a no break set deal and iraq says more than fifty million dollars will be invested in french ports and airports to alleviate the impact of a so-called hard crack said the contingency plan focuses on cross border trade and
3:14 am
transport and the european union maintains the breaks it deal in agreed with may is the best it can offer but the e.u. might be flexible on when the u.k. needs to block data cheeta has an aide to some brussels one european lawmaker kindly described the scenes in the house of commons over the last few days as a theatre of the absurd but make no mistake the tall european leaders are taking very seriously the prospect of a no deal breaks it approaching on march the twenty ninth all european capitals now making sure that contingency plans are in place they'll be reviewing those over the next few hours and few days because at the moment that prospect means that it's not only the united kingdom's economy that could be badly damaged but also the european union's there are talk all this talk of the recession looming here in europe there's been a downturn in the german economy the main engine of the european union and also
3:15 am
worries over spain italy and of course france in the middle of the laser on the yellow vest crisis so they're all looking to their own plans at the moment but hoping some sort of resolution can come forward now the main concentration is of course on trying to push back that cliff edge brags that which appears on march the twenty ninth now if reason may can come up with some solid new strategy with across party talks then i think you'll find a good reception in the european union to the idea of moving back to that cliff edge to later in the year to give more time. for a new strategy and new ideas to evolve. to head on al jazeera and gas is once again stop on fuel and electricity putting vulnerable young lives at risk by celebrating one hundred years of palestinian radical chairman hot movement that's
3:16 am
just as better than today as it was sand and. joel frank song that goes in search of revenge at the australian open against novak djokovic eleven years casey may well be back here with that in sports stay with us. hello again and welcome back well this hour do want to start here in the western part a lot we have been talking about a very powerful storm that has come in off the mediterranean bring some very strong winds rain as well as snow take a look at the video that has come in just recently across the region as the very strong winds came on shore we did have some waves as well as in the higher elevations we were talking about snow where the temperature was cold enough and that snow actually was quite deep in some locations we did have some problems of
3:17 am
course in those refugee camps not only there but also in parts of lebanon as well well the next few days things are getting better as that system pulls away here towards the east we are being left with some much clearer skies what we're left with also some lower temperatures across much of that area so overnight lows expression the higher elevations are going to be more like minus four to anywhere between minus five and six in some areas over here across caspian well that is where that storm system is making its way so we are going to be seeing some snow in the higher elevations for a high temperature if you a five degrees there on friday getting a little bit better by saturday with a term to there of seven degrees well here across the gulf we're looking at some cooler temperatures across much of the area the doha here on fire to twenty one degrees over here towards riyadh at eighty in abu dhabi twenty two for you. if you were looking at this from the outside you would really wonder what was going
3:18 am
all what is just gross is a religion that they have an in-depth exploration of global capitalism and our obsession with economic growth this is still the center of capitalism there is no limits i view myself as a capital artist we are trying to break through the world smaller and smaller we don't want to be set realistic in the world we would rather have a fantasy growing pain is coming soon. i don't know that corruption has reached a level like that before in our country. rank outsider. to president of the united states. the power was in the data we will honor the american people with the truth and nothing else discovered. for winning the white house unfair game on al jazeera.
3:19 am
welcome back you're watching news hour on al-jazeera with me fully back a reminder of our top stories present donald trump says north korea and iran are a significant threat to the u.s. he singled out both nations in every zero of american missile defense systems at the pentagon. a compromise exploded inside a police academy in colombia's capital bogota that offense ministry confirms that at least eight people were killed president evander ok has returned to bogota to oversee the police offer a ship and they have been more protests since so don prompting the u.n. to warn the government against using excessive force saddam's government says
3:20 am
twenty four people have been killed since the unrest began four weeks ago but wise course put that figure at more than forty. now the prashar u.s. government shutdown has entered his twenty seventh day and the latest polls show many people are blaming the president both sides of the political divide are unwilling to negotiate donald trump's plan to build a wall on the mexican border representative speaker nancy pelosi has described the measure as ineffective and immoral and speak to a committee in washington d.c. so these poll numbers seem to show that many people if they mean president trump for the shutdown what's been the response. yeah the u.s. president speaking at the pentagon the last couple of hours really didn't seem to budged on his insistence that in order for the government to reopen there needs to be funding five point seven billion for the construction of a border wall to stop illegal immigration along the southern border of the united states and mexico the president is blaming congressional democrats for the shutdown
3:21 am
saying that they refuse to approve the money that he needs for border security want to migrants into the united states but it needs to be done legally well nancy pelosi the ranking democrat in the house of representatives the speaker of the house also fired back with her own press conference accusing the republicans of being the ones that were the obstacle to reopening the government saying that the republicans don't care about workers but she's simply not for the wall she will not be finding it so this stalemate continues with both sides digging in their heels and it doesn't look encouraging as we get to the twenty seventh day of the shutdown folly the president said just two days ago that if there's a need to stay out for a long time well he's prepared to do it so in the meantime there are a lot of ordinary americans that are getting hurt by this but it appears the politicians have no sign of compromise and a new report came on immigration is leading to even more criticism of the
3:22 am
immigrations administration's immigration policy. yeah that's right new report coming out by a watchdog group that essentially keeps track of the situation on the southern border and it's not exactly as has been portrayed by the administration this internal report as watchdog group saying that in fact when it comes to separations of children from their parents when their parents cross into the united states illegally the number the trumpet ministration has pointed to in terms of those families being separated will it's far higher than originally calculated but even worse they don't exactly know just how many children have been separated from their families now the report says this all began to spike in the summer of two thousand and seventeen and it didn't really stop until the federal judge ruled that children must be unified with their families but by then apparently the records were very poorly kept many children had gone with friends or family members and some of those
3:23 am
children remain separated so donald trump has repeatedly said that there is a humanitarian crisis on the border but this report seems to suggest that that is exacerbated by the poor implementation of some of the administration's own policies thank you for that kimberly how case lifeforce in washington the u.s. special envoy on afghan reconsideration is in pakistan to try to revive talks with the taliban. is meeting pakistani leaders to try to bring the taliban back to the negotiating table last week time about neda's council the meeting with him accusing the u.s. of deflecting from the issue of withdrawing forces from afghanistan they've also rejected the involvement of the afghan government in the dialogue come on reports some islamic bonds. the u.s. special envoy for peace and reconciliation. has arrived in islamabad to hold talks with the pakistani leadership he said. talks with the
3:24 am
afghan taliban will be taking place soon however he also issued a warning saying that if the taliban wanted to fight then the u.s. would be helping the afghan forces but if they wanted to talk the u.s. would be ready to talk so indeed a strong message from zalmay khalilzad coming less than forty eight hours after the one taliban issued their own statement islamic emirate of afghanistan statement on the current situation in afghanistan said that the u.s. was moving away from the agenda of the over drawl of foreign forces from afghanistan and their loved one is done would not be used against any other country zalmay khalilzad had been up here and dod given the fact that those dogs have reached a roadblock the progress on your featured will be trying to convince the taliban to come back to the negotiating table they have already defused to sit down with the afghan officials and pakistan has already said that it cannot have total control
3:25 am
over what the taliban do and is only trying to facilitate their draw for peace and reconciliation and out war torn country. russian president vladimir putin has arrived in belgrade for talks with serbia as serbia's leader alexander they're discussing expected to discuss issues around and e.u. brokered settlement between savvy and possible although serbia spies who join the european union it has kept close ties with russia seeks to re-enforce his influence in the ball consists by the opposition from the e.u. . has more from belgrade. this is the fourth guinea think about xander would teach inviting me to put things third in the year although this is the fourth time russian president is in belgrade since two thousand and one will serbian authorities this is the historical visit and alexander which has great expectations of it the most important part of the today's event is organized here in the palace

3:27 am
experienced such a move as a direct threat to their security and also as. serbian president alexander which is in his interview of four a russian news agency said the situation in the western balkans is very difficult and despite this be an attempt to maintain peace and stability in belgrade and prishtina are very far from making in the agreement on the kosovo issue. the palestinian health ministry in gaza is warning that at least three hospitals may be forced to close because of power shortages there isn't enough fuel to power generators that backup on reliable electricity supplies john stratford's reports on what caused the latest shortfall of money deep is one of the around three hundred women a month to give birth in this with us hospital in rough southern gaza. both as child
