humanity is no exaggeration to say the aid comes with strings the u.s. operation is designed to foment regime change and that's why much of the international aid community is not joining in the international committee for the red cross and united nations relief agencies are refusing to coordinate with the u.s. they say aid should not come with strings. retains the backing of russia and china and claims to have brought nine hundred thirty three tons of medical supplies from china cuba and russia. is calling for nationwide protests this week to support volunteers planning to travel to the border with colombia to bring the u.s. aid john hendren. washington. well venezuela is acute economic crisis has seen soaring inflation levels which are expected to hit ten million percent this year and is not just hurting those in urban areas and rural vote in loyal supporters of the madeira government are also struggling farmers have been hit by shortages of

a matter of days to finish their presence in the. east of the euphrates river near the iraqi border we destroyed their ability to return fire their fighters are holding civilians as human shields in only six hundred to seven hundred square meters in. a minute carmen has more from gaza on the turkey syria border. throughout saturday we've heard various different statements from a few different sources about what's going on with the other boy whose village they lost on clay of iceland is now surrounded by the syrian democratic forces the syrian democratic forces themselves have said that they surrounded the village and they are about to announce what they are calling good news soon now that comes hot off the heels of a statement by the u.s. vice president mike pence who said at this very hour the last mile of territory in syria where the black flag of dosh once flew dyce is the arabic acronym that the

americans use is being captured also we've heard from the syrian observatory of human rights now they've said that they have heard that the fighters have actually surrendered and that the battle is actually over but we have heard that officially from the syrian democratic forces now on friday the u.s. president donald trump said that he would have good news in the next twenty four hours that the caliphate would have been destroyed completely not schools some confusion here within the region the iraqi government says the caliphate was actually destroyed the so-called declared state of isis was actually destroyed in two thousand and seventeen and i saw themselves haven't actually referred to the caliphate since two thousand and seventeen when they lost their territory the egyptian army says at least seven rebel fighters have been killed after an attack on a checkpoint in the northern sinai fifteen military personnel were also injured or killed during the exchange of fire eisel claimed responsibility. the rebels in

yemen say they have launched a major attack across the border with saudi arabia the armed group says it's taken a number of saudi military positions south of the city of jan and also injured saudi fighters captured a large amount of arms. is the most significant border fighting to take place since the stockroom agreement aimed at deescalate in the fighting was signed last december. well the stock of agreement was brokered by the un during talks aimed at ending yemen's nearly four year war with the rebels in yemen saudi backed government agreed to a cease fire in these g.g. port city of the data while the truce has largely held both sides are meant withdrawing their forces from the city by jan reception that never happened and the man the un tasked with overseeing the cease fire resigned after only a month in the job a prisoner swap was also agreed to in the talks in sweden that's also yet to take place well for more on this we're joined by yemen analyst summer of one danny in

washington d.c. she's a visiting fellow at georgetown university some of this is the most significant escalation in the fighting in yemen since the stockroom deal was signed why do you think this is happening on the ground what's going wrong so there's no doubt that the worst kind of had a role to play in this with the government side kind of escalating a threat or against iran and the host these in yemen and the have these on the other hand feeling that it's their responsibility to retaliate in some shape or another but like you mentioned the escalation has been ongoing and the stockholm agreement never really held in place so in a sense it's just an escalation but it also is a continuation of refusing to abide by the stockholm agreement and some are there was hope wasn't there that the ceasefire in her data could impact positively on the rest of the country but clearly that's not happened. definitely there was a lot of hope in december when we were preparing for the talks and the meeting

another meeting should have taken place by now already another meeting to enforce and to kind of uphold whatever was going to happen in january in yemen and so what we see is that it looks like both sides are not very serious about ending the war and it seems that yemen the u.n. envoy to yemen mr martin griffiths is going to have to pull a lot more weight putting pressure on to these parties meaning that he's going to have to rely on the british government and the american government and to saying that hey the international community here wants peace and therefore that's what's going to happen and talking about the warsaw summit just previously it's important to note that pump aoe spoke at warsaw about yemen and he emphasized the importance of peace in yemen and then portents of moving from an act of warfare into peace and that from america's perspective yemen continues to be a place where they're going to fight al-qaeda and the arabian peninsula so it's

really important to see how the two sides in the conflict don't want to see peace but the rest of the world is kind of ready for it especially because of the humanitarian crisis ok so where does this now leave the stockholm agreement which was supposed to see a reduction in the fighting the opening up of data for humanitarian aid the start of prisoner swaps i mean is the deal now dead do you think. i don't think that they can claim that this deal is that because there are two two options for yemen either war or peace and we know that war is only going to make things worse and peace is the only way to save yemeni lives and so it's kind of the only game in town we're going to find out what's going to happen very soon on monday when the united nations has its close meeting about yemen and we're going to find out what's going to happen next i expect that they're going to put more pressure into both. on to the u.n. envoy and to pressure the war in sides in this conflict to kind of be serious about

the peace that's going to that has to happen in yemen for the sake of humanity and for the sake of ending a famine and to save an impoverished country some thank you for talking to al jazeera. thank you all right lots more to come here on the news hour including pakistan prepares to roll out the red carpet for saudi's crown prince. nigeria's two main contenders in the presidential election calls for calm as people are forced to wait an extra week to vote and in sports america's mckayla makes history at the world skiing championships and sweet that's all still to come. now one major conference to very different messages at a meeting on global security in germany u.s. vice president mike pence gave european leaders a dressing down over their continued dealings with iran he urged the e.u. to pull out of the twenty fifteen iran nuclear deal but the german chancellor

this is nigeria's moment of sport independent electoral commission chairman mahmoud yoku is facing criticism for postponing the elections of the last minute a little so today. he insists the decision was taken to address the many challenges the tump of repercussions for the elections. overall assessment is that if the elections went on. homes were not open. in the morning all of these missions. yet we had determined that force must haunt the same time and improve part of the country. in this way nor elections we've used time. this is very important to public perception of elections honestly. and creatively. the commission hopes the delay would mean that everything will all

smoothly next week but not everyone is convinced we had reports in various places of compromises that have been done in can iran has returned some members of the independent national electoral commission and because those. highly india they decided to act fast on post one of the elections so to solve the explosions giving up charlie troop are not actually ready to nigerians have been here before both the past two elections were postponed one of them for weeks but what nigeria's actually angry about this time around is the shop multis they were given before the postponement was announced the electoral commission made the announcement just three hours to the time the polling stations were expected to offer. voters reacted with a mixture of anger frustration andras ignition with some describing the electoral body as a disgrace this is the height of incompetence you call tree has never experienced

this that could record on the off election asax let's look look look what you mean to record of immediate need this money were finding out that yet the election as record of who does that is very disappointing very surprising no one really shone for him as an engineer i think so embarrassed. nigeria's two main political parties the ruling all progressive congress a.p.c. and the peoples democratic party p.d.p. swiftly condemned the delay and accused each other of trying to manipulate the. present moment to bahati i'd come and appeal to nigerians to refrain from civil disorder the presidential and parliamentary votes have been is scheduled for saturday twenty third february governorship state assembly and local government elections will now be held on saturday the ninth of march mohammed at the well does it or your nigeria. well robin saunders is a former u.s.

ambassador to nigeria she says there are a number of problems with the election delay. previous elections two thousand and eleven two thousand and fifteen both those elections were postponed but one was two months out one was a month month this within twenty four hours people going to the polls i think is the thing that has really kind of hit observers as well as voters quite surprisingly because you would as soon as that logistical challenges that they saw those coming and that they could have tried to mitigate this there couple of challenges with the postponement in addition to making sure that the materials that have been distributed remain secure i think that there will be a lot of people wondering about that and how that's going to be handled be interesting to hear what i next says in their press conference with stakeholders later today but the other thing is that i think the big thing is voter apathy and there is an economic impact on this postponement that is enormous there is

a logistical impact just for voters alone there's no absentee vote in nigeria you have to be in your in your local government at your polling place a lot of people came from either outside the country or where their places were to their polling places schools and businesses have been closed to accommodate this voter workers have also been displaced so there's a lot of challenges to maintain into manage during the course of the week on top possibly additional political rhetoric that wasn't there before the blame game i'm sure is going to go on through the week because campaigning is now allowed through february twenty first i believe so there's a lot of challenges in managing everything so that you do you still end up with free and fair elections at the end of the day after the polls next saturday for a short break here and al jazeera when we come back india's government gets us backing as a comes for those responsible for the attack an indian administered kashmir.

cardinal from the roman catholic church over historic sex abuse claims. it all mccarrick is the most senior they got to be dismissed from the priesthood in modern times is rob reynolds. theodore mccarrick is the highest ranking catholic clergyman to be punished in connection with sexual abuse the vatican announced he has been defrocked completely removed from the priesthood both abuse and its cover up can no longer be tolerated and a different treatment for bishops who have committed or comment to the op abuse in fact represents a form of clerical whose myth is no longer acceptable mccarrick was accused of sexually abusing minors including teenaged altar boys and older seminary students studying for the priesthood and we're talking about accountability for bishops and we're actually doing it it's not talk it's otoh we walk and talk

does also a very important signal for auspicious that we are not above to rule the character who is eighty eight rows from parish priest to bishop of diocese in new jersey and was made a cardinal and archbishop of washington d.c. by pope john paul the second. for years complaints about mccarran sexual activities circulated among clergy and parishioners priests in new jersey and new york wrote letters to their bishops and warned vatican officials about mackerras conduct and the parents of children who had been molested and adults who said the cardinal abused them as boys also spoke out numerous reports on macare it began emerging publicly in the media indicating high church officials including former pope benedict the sixteenth were aware of the allegations but kept quiet last year pope francis ordered mccarran to

a church facility in rural kansas to pray and make penance in seclusion the decision to remove him from the priesthood is nearly unprecedented church scholars say you have to go back centuries somebody told me to the council of trent that's almost five hundred years ago for similar situations where a cod known a former cardinal was laicized so it's a it's a very big decision in the history it's a landmark decision in the history of the church the action comes as pope francis prepares to preside over a meeting of leaders of all the catholic bishops conferences the world wide hold specifically to address the sexual abuse of minors and vulnerable adults in the church rob reynolds al-jazeera washington what tim lennon as the president of the survive as network of those abused by priests he says the vatican hasn't done enough to hold puppetry it has to account. the church needs to continue from there

and to canoe and continue to remove those that sexually abused children and minors and those that are covered up for instance we have a cardinal pal in austria who is recently convicted of child sex abuse he's still a cardinal we have a bishop wilson for from a story of convicted of sexual abuse we have cardinal denard o. the head of all the catholic. bishops here in the united states was recently accused of covering up and withholding information from the person or is about three abusers so the cover up continues we've seen that. the practice and ideology of the church hierarchy has been to protect the prestige and reputation of the church at the expense of the safety of the children minors and oppression or what we've seen up until this moment and again up until this moment first time in

centuries of the pope has done nothing we've heard the thoughts and prayers we've had the penance we've had the apologies we had the washing of feet of survivors we've had all of that all symbolic kind of acts so this may be the first action of removing some of these that are complicit in covering up sexual abuse. there's an uneasy calm in the haitian capital opposite days of violent protests thousands of demonstrators have been demanding president java no more use resign he's been accused of failing to address soaring inflation and alleged misuse of funds on the rubble it has more now from the capital port au prince. were in port a prince where there is a sense of calm that's returning to different parts of the city as you can see people are out and about there is vendors out on the streets selling different products this doesn't mean that tensions are gone it doesn't mean that the discontent is over there are still pockets of unrest in the city where demonstrators continue to call on the resignation of the haitian president for

those who have the means some have begun leaving the country for those who don't the discontent continues they continue to voice their concerns their anger over widespread poverty over worsening living conditions and over the issue of corruption the united states there are reports that the united states is planning to send food aid to help prevent a humanitarian crisis here in the country given that many people are having a hard time finding access to food finding access to clean water but in the meantime as you can see things are sort of returning back to normal port-au prince once again looking like for the prince but the unrest remains pockets of tension remain and it's unclear still what exactly is going to happen in the coming days around two hundred thousand protesters of masry boss alone against the trial of twelve countermand separatist leaders calling for them to be released immediately twelve leading figures are being tried for their roles in the twenty seven thousand referendum and declaration of independence from spain that in baba reports.

been springing up across the country giant tweaks highlighting some of the predictions contradictions and hypocrisy ease of britain's leaders it started as an idea or months friends it's now an anonymous guerrilla ad campaign under the house led by donkey's before we knew it we put our kids to the battle and going out almost every night putting out new posters and now here we are one month later we've got ninety thousand pounds in the bank from the crowd fund and the going up around the country because of the nature of digital news where we forget so quickly what was said there's a real appetite for something in the real world the breaks a referendum rewrote the rules of political campaigning for the first time and service for and against breaks it realize the full unregulated power of social media to influence voters clearly social media still is a massively important vehicle fact service and political campaign is all this group

is doing is using and a long time takes to get its unique message across. this is what happened when the group turned their attention to the opposition labor leader jeremy cool been installing a blank billboard in the politicians home and tea breaks a campaign has turned up and filled in the gaps with their own slogans but i think the main prominent pro breck's an activist so also attempting to reach new audiences. the multimillionaire owner of one of britain's biggest pop change has come under fire for sending copies of this probe themed magazine to potentially thousands of homes come on go. yes let's get real we're talking about saving thirty nine billion pounds eliminating loss of paris regaining control of fish in increasing democracy i mean what's not for long i. mean while in central london a restauranteur who put an empty practic slogan at the bottom of customer receipts

has faced violent threats and then one case is they say we must burn the place down meaning the restaurant to be burned up and then in another one they put an image of a gallows saying traitorous you know it breaks it's created a war of words facts figures and promises repeated on buses boats and bridges some entirely false the official vote leave campaign spent three and a half million dollars on targeting ads at specific groups of people on facebook helping it to win the twenty sixteen referendum. says the votes more and more people have started to question the authenticity of messages on social media and the power of political advertising is led to a political climate where everything and nothing seems true where some feel motivated to promote or challenge brand breaks it in new ways leave al-jazeera london british arms exports to saudi arabia violate international

humanitarian law that's the conclusion of a new pay parliamentary committee which now wants the government to do more to end the war in yemen or brennan reports from london. since the yemen war began in march twenty fifteen s strikes in military operations by the saudi led coalition forces are estimated to have directly killed more than sixty thousand civilians and that's not including the tens of thousands more who have died from starvation and disease . britain has licensed nearly seven billion dollars of arms exports to saudi arabia and the coalition nations since the war started and in twenty eighteen the un report alleged that the u.k. and u.s. weapons have been used in attacks which may amount to war crimes now this house of lords committee has concluded that u.k. arms exports narrowly contravene humanitarian law and the government should act challenge the apparent violations much more vigorously put the pressure on the stock of agreement and reveal export licenses and tie them up certainly yes. would

remain clear closing down to some extent the flow of weapons the government had argued that saudi arabia's own review mechanisms were sufficient but the lords disagreed relying on assurances by saudi arabia and saudi led review processes is not an adequate way of implementing the obligations for a risk based assessment they said the government of sets that in its licensing of arms sales to saudi arabia it is now really on the right side of international humanitarian law although conclusive evidence is not yet available we assess that it is now really on the wrong side. in twenty seventeen the group campaign against the arms trade tried and failed to have british weapons exports to saudi arabia declared illegal this new law to report has been published just weeks before the campaigners take their case to the appeal court and when you came eight fighter jets were flying over yemen dropping u.k. made bombs but cannot be divorced from the responsibilities of the u.k. government it's time for the government to end its support for this terrible
