as you say livestock postell communities which form three quarters of the population of this code have moved those border lanes where they also conflict with their neighbors or resources. cholera malaria and other diseases a threatening survivors of psycho in southern africa more than seven hundred people are confirmed killed across the region and that number is expected to rise much of the port city of beirut in mozambique is damaged or destroyed survivors have been telling our correspondent tony berkley about their ordeal. they are tired and traumatized but at least these victims of cyclamen each a safe now each one has their own harrowing story about the time the storms came each day more of them come mostly from boozy district. on monday which about is sixty five years of age he had a smallholding and lived alone he was rescued after spending four days stuck in a tree without food he says his life has changed forever i say i give

a little blue. pill and i have nothing to go back to my farm my house all were destroyed there is nothing left i need to start afresh but i don't know how. he lives here now in the sim or in michelle's school in bira along with twelve hundred other displaced people. christina arrived on saturday after surviving for four days on the roof of a church in boozy her foot was infected after she stepped on a piece of submerged roofing while waiting to safety her future like many others is something she finds difficult to contemplate. from now on life will be difficult i will need food i will need shelter he's crying for food now but i don't know what he will be crying for when we go back. these people are getting three meals a day and access to medical care so safe and sound and drive but they have no idea when they'll be able to go back to their homes that is if they have

a home to go back to was. the massive emergency operation involves dozens of countries and it's costing more than fifty million dollars but the focus is now changing at the moment think that they like us they cute phase of risk is pretty much those people need to be lifted out of raging water. people and trees and the top of causes most of that is as as as those people most of those people have been risking their artwork the think the focus area at the moment is relief. getting that relief to the people who need it is now an urgent priority before cholera and other diseases break out the situation is improving but there are still risk of further flooding or sadly the risk of flooding is is ever present and ultimately we have red alerts now on two of the major rivers one is a busy flowing in from zimbabwe to the sea and the other is the boozy river which is a short fat flat river which floods very easily as a really bad soul saturation of the germs are full so we're facing multiple routes

that won't affect these people their concern is their next meal and how to rebuild their homes their communities and their lives tony burke three zero zero. there is still ahead on this al-jazeera news hour the emergency is over but not before a relaxing cruise ship dock turned into a terrifying ordeal in no way the opposition cries fall in the kemar as has voters head to the polls in a presidential election will be live in moroni and in sport the campaign for gender equality in argentinian football recruits the men's former national captain peter we'll have the details in sports. but first to the united states where the key findings of a report into alleged collusion between the tram campaign and russia are due to be released by the u.s. attorney general special counsel robert miller led the two year investigation which

president trump has repeatedly denounced as a witch hunt sixty eight have already been charged sharing the course of the inquiry let's speak to rising jordan in washington d.c. for us ross so while we wait to know the contents of this long awaited little report what do we know and what don't we know so far. well foley what we know is that the special counsel robert mueller handed over the report to the attorney general william barr on friday afternoon washington time what we don't know is what is in the report how long the report is who the special counsel said he was not going to indict because of the evidence what his recommendations are for the way forward there's been a lot of speculation as you might expect here in washington about what is in that report but the only things that we know is that the attorney general has been given the report and we understand from reporters outside the justice department that

both he and the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein are at the department of justice on sunday still working through what they should or should not release to the president to congress and to the u.s. public the u.s. sunday shows of course have been on raw is what was said what's been the reaction the official reaction in washington. well it's probably what most people would expect it's pretty much along partisan lines congressional democrats want the entire report as well as underlying evidence supporting this report to be made public their main argument are is twofold one it's in the interest of transparency and to especially when it comes to those persons who are not being indicted because of the special counsel investigation they say that it is incumbent upon congress to take a look at that material and decide whether or not the president should face any legal

consequences or more specifically should be impeached because of what robert mueller uncovered during his investigation congressional republicans for their part are saying there's not much to see here if anything we simply should move on they're accusing congressional democrats of trying to make this a campaign issue the twenty twenty presidential campaign is already underway it technically the u.s. president donald trump has been running for re-election since the day after his inauguration but they are saying that congressional democrats want to make this a political issue and that they should be more focused on other matters and basically let this report stand as it is thank you so much for that roslyn jordan live for us in washington d.c. . a new zealand vigil has been held in the city of christchurch where a gunman killed fifty people at two mosques more than a week ago the service was at a party at the honor mosque which was the first to be attacked andrew thomas has

our report from christchurch. perhaps as many as twenty thousand people have come out of what is a beautiful autumn evening here in christ church to remember the events of nine days ago and see commemorate the victims but also to appreciate what the last nine days have been about as well the coming together of the country because this country really has unified in opposition to the horror of what happened nine days ago this event began with the imaam of the lynwood mosque the second of the two to being attacked he gave some prayers and then read out the names of all fifty victims all of those who lost their lives and they were followed by christie embraced by a catholic bishop and then we had maori songs a minute's silence from the national anthem opera songs on stage music performed by one of the high school students who knew one of the victims to being killed in the arm or mosque another student wrote out some poetry i was talking to some of those

gathered about how they felt the loss we could go on was just a sharing of everyone coming to get a feeling of community and is being as one measure is just holding in line there's been a terrific support and started talking about friends and family within the community and so i think it's going to speak for. a moment to be honest maybe. everybody here was off the stand in the cold emergency service workers who rushed to the two mosques after they were attacked and the was spontaneous applause for the prime minister dissenter auden when someone on stage thanked most people here think she has handled the last nine days and one man's words brilliantly well on friday will be a national memorial event nationwide and then the prime minister is likely to announce some sort of full inquiry into how those events were able to happen nine days ago we can expect to hear about that you coming days too. cycling veronica is

a diagonal al-jazeera. soap kitchens for the poor in mexico are being shut down so are other government programs for the most vulnerable president under as money lopez obrador says it's part of an effort to stamp out corruption but for many the left wing latest decision has come as a surprise john heilemann reports on mexico city. mix can community kitchens where some of the country's most vulnerable if you get a cheap meal there were no sir here lou pape their life saver in feeding her family of six with his gaze wally i know it's really helped with our finances even with the gas for the stove and now i go to work rather than just worrying about cooking and until now we've never gotten say but many of them it's because only six thousand federal food kitchens have already shut as part of budget cuts to social services it's not just the soup kitchens closing their doors funds have also

been slashed for child day care centers and the government plan to shut down shelters for women fleeing domestic violence and give the money instead until a backlash made it change its mind. and this is all come from a president who's long championed the poor and vulnerable at school some surprise and indignation. he says the measures necessary to stamp out corruption sit didn't mean it's finished around thirty years of these programs which were just used to win elections and get media attention. programs which encourage corruption using the name of the humble the poor to do it that's all finished. is something in the government social ministry was recently implicated in a monumental corruption scandal but civil society groups say the wholesale scrapping of programs for the pool is not. and some worry there are other motivations well my concern is that is really an attempt to concentrate power to

have all the social programs in their hands to be a political platform and if you really committed to transparency and avoid corruption will be transparent in the sense of. of the of the new of the new programs that you're putting together none of that so far. the new programs he's talking about include expanded help for students the old and those with disabilities the president it seems does want social programs just ones built to his own design john homan. scarcity. head on this. live in washington where the powerful pro israel lobby. and away with democrats out of the picture. look at the high cost of living in the middle east poorest country after war and. assholes going viral with six perfect

be seen in the southern part of iran so we're going to be watching that very carefully well here across the gulf it's going to the clouds and it's also going to be the rain that some of us are going to be see winds are going to be a problem as well that means lower visibilities in some areas for here in doha passing showers maybe a thunderstorm or two clouds across the area but the temperatures twenty nine degrees here on monday thirty degrees as we go towards tuesday abu dabi we expect to see about thirty degrees for you there and then across mozambique a lot of the area of rain is making its way up here towards the north we do expect to see temperatures for harare about thirty degrees or johannesburg a partly cloudy day for you with a temperature of twenty eight degrees. this powerful social network is sculpting a global cyber society and regulation is playing catch up but as scandals begin to unfold they will witness is that we should not be in this position. the why is

washington d.c. for the annual gathering of america's influential pro israel lobby israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu will deliver the keynote speech at the apec conference later this week this year several democratic presidential candidates a snubbing the event reflecting a growing us political divide over israel mike hanna has our report. it's a close relationship like none before president trump has repeatedly made clear his support of israel reversing decades of u.s. policy by moving the u.s. embassy to jerusalem and most recently recognizing israeli sovereignty over the golan heights his decision to unilaterally tear up the nuclear deal with iran another move that delighted israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu who sometimes was at a loss for words in proclaiming his gratitude the president. has

just made history i called him. i thanked him on behalf of the people of israel he did it again congress too has played its role in recent days a bipartisan bill introduced in the house denouncing efforts to boycott israel as incompatible with a two state solution despite this there are clear signs of a potential split among democrats with regard to israel new representative. controversially implying that israel was buying supporting congress a claim she subsequently withdrew but not before an intense debate among members of the democratic party caucus. the first palestinian american representative in congress rushdie that played out in her voice in cautioning against unconditional support for israel. these new positions in the party gaining some traction a number of democratic presidential contenders have announced they will not attend

the conference. senior democratic party leaders like house speaker nancy pelosi and senate minority leader chuck schumer will take part in the conference. at issue the votes of jewish americans and twenty twenty in the last election donald trump who just over twenty percent of the jewish vote as opposed to the nearly eighty percent cost for hillary clinton a statistic president trump is clearly intent on reversing to the extent of labeling democrats anti semitic the democrats are very much moving to be had by israel there's no question about that and it's a disgrace i mean i don't know what happened to them but they are totally and by israel frankly i think there is a common said may resonate in israel with president trump supporters bolstering the prime minister's chances in next month's election but it will be a concern for an organization with

a slogan connected for good one that traditionally has been staunchly bipartisan in politics both home and abroad i saw speak to my close in washington for a small so mike the democratic presidential candidates who in the past might have rushed at the chance to address apac staying away this year what effect is that having as the conference gets underway and what does apac aim to achieve. well the fact that several democratic contenders are not attending just to sign not a congress or a democratic caucus within congress that is far more divided on the issue of and conditionally supporting israel then it was in the past this because of the shifting demographics within congress itself much younger representatives coming in and far more diverse what does apac intend to achieve well it states very clearly in its publications that most importantly it wants to continue to ensure that more

than three billion dollars that the u.s. gives israel annually in security loans security guarantees and also that it continues to get support in congress to oppose the campaign to boycott and disinvest in israel so certainly these are the prime aims of the annual congress set we've seen and also though some may take advantage of this huge gathering of american israelis such as prime minister benjamin netanyahu all those he's speaking in washington d.c. in the united states this message is going to be going to is domestic base back in israel with an eye to next month's election and president this week candid in somewhat of a little victory after announcing his intention to recognize the occupied golan heights says israeli territory do we expect an official announcement soon on are the golan heights. well it has not been confirmed by the white hour spurt israel's

deputy foreign minister has released a statement saying that he expects president trump to sign a presidential proclamation during his meeting with the israeli prime minister recognizing israeli sovereignty over the golan heights now this would be a huge step in terms of bypassing congress in terms of using a presidential dictate to reverse decades of u.s. policy in the particular region so that what will that will serve to is in president trump size creating a stronger base he would hope among israelis in the u.s. but for benjamin netanyahu it's an absolute gift with that election coming up in a few weeks time thank you for that my canner live for us in washington d.c. . voters in the camorra sir casting ballots in a presidential election which some opposition parties are calling a power grab three hundred thousand people are expected to vote across the indian

a contest that election from the beginning is getting even more complicated as we head towards the beginning of the counting of the ballots but it was not what cost you and this is the first election since the reform of the constitution just how contentious and why has it been so controversial. what it is because there is this call that many people more will believe brought some sort of stability to the country this is a country that's more than twenty coups and coups since the ninety's seventy five independence from france and what people believe is that professional presidency between the islands but from the country have brought some semblance of law and order and some sort of trust in the political system among the people now that that has been removed by a president of money many people believe that there would be

a bit of the instability of the party because of the island particularly and where we saw more emotional run high today well again. on to an african president wanting to remain in office beyond his monday until changing the constitution of the disc of dividing his country which is unfortunately nothing new thank you very much for that moment i don't live in morrone the come r's. mollies armed forces chief and several top commanders have been son to more than one hundred thirty four people women and children among them were killed in an attack on a village a local mayor says gunmen dressed as traditional dons or hunters stormed or guess who a villager for money cattle herders in buying costs in central mali they also a talent willing gar another for village near by violence between for money and rival communities has compounded an already die

panel to say. so it's a bit mysterious. due to the fact that these are two people. they're fighting over. the first four. hundred thirty so it's a very serious problem. but the government of israel is the capacity but also the level of course that will. make you feel that this article when in fact little constant little bit of the. certain type of the that looks like to us the form of truth is not helpful i think. his article ended the massacre happened as a delegation from the u.n. security council was visiting the high region to have a security situation there the area where this happened in mali is also troubled by

the influence of andro through the felony are accused of being title why has the mayan government struggles so much to establish security in this part of the country because the. apologies with. their them again. and here i think that the muslim government has a serious problem it's a problem of legitimacy that we encounter across country value. only when we have people who want to speak in terms of themselves in power and they don't have the capacity to prevent the state in of all part of their interest in africa there are problems in the region they don't cooperate the problem of what i mean for instance is not something new it's not just the money you have it is again you cannot relate it somehow instead of god so i think there is need for me you know call rational and then over the course of the suffering for people to discuss it but this is not

only. the. dubious condition i believe the republican party there are people who are evil now talking about the possibility of calling for money to be put under the sheet of the united nations which would be really a disaster that would be. for the africa need to gain independence in the case of money in that city so this is the one thing that we will reach out to the church if you call us level and put their money where it mattered living in peace and stability and that's what mark what the president was governor clinton supporter of the african union and decided to focus on the monday called general welfare are found guilty thank you so much adam again we're going to leave it there adam mckay former ecowas official joining us there from tunis thank you for your time. this

week is a fourth anniversary of the start of the military offensive in yemen by the saudi u.a.e. led coalition thousands of people have been killed iran twenty two million depend on aid to survive priyanka gupta takes a look at the impacts the war has had on yemen's economy. the markets of sana who once at the crossroads of trade in the middle east. today the street is an alcohol market one of the oldest in the city a selling whatever little local farmers can produce prices a steep and out of reach for most the few who can buy are often in debt. and with a smile has a family of eight he's among the millions of yemenis for whom the war has meant sleeping on an empty stomach. the war destroyed the gulf arabs and the saudis and the u.a.e. destroyed us food prices are ten times higher because the yemeni real has no value at present in yemen central bank is split between government controlled aden and

who the controlled so now saudi arabia publicly pledged a loan of two billion dollars but only to the bank in aden to keep the currency afloat as of december it had received only three hundred forty million dollars the money from the bank of aden pay salaries of government workers most of yemen's workforce. but five hundred thousand civil servants and who the areas haven't been paid it through here as. black markets like these are try being in summer and in aden it's beyond imagination that there's oil shortage here in aden can you believe that patrol is not available in the patrol stations but it's available in the black market i am astonished to see trucks carrying patrol from the even oil refineries but no idea where these trucks go and where the patrol. profits from yemen's booming coffee industry and farms have plummeted because. high fuel prices yemen

depended on its all exports before the war production has almost stopped since the conflict began is under the control of emirati backed fighters. but the main problem is this the porton who data to which eighty percent of food aid comes in and that is out of bounds for most. the impact of the war and the crumbling economy has forced within twenty four million yemenis to depend on aid just to survive and humanitarian aid is not enough you need a political solution that is going to allow the economy to revitalize that will allow restrictions on imports to be lifted that will allow sellers to be paid the jobs created markets to be revitalized. such sectors to come back to life again so that people. you know slowly can start to sort of resume a life that used to exist prior to the contract a hope that perhaps many yemenis still have despite the real threat of hunger and

this is al jazeera live from doha. also ahead one of a million people desperate for food we visit a village in kenya at the center of a drought crisis. people here were told to expect an extreme weather events back to. correspondents in the powerful storm lashes northwest australia plus waiting to find out what's in the report the u.s. attorney general is expected to release details of an investigation into russian interference in the twenty sixteen u.s. election. so preliminary results are out in thailand's first general election since the twenty four thousand military co the pro military party has an unexpected lead over the produce. ocracy camp with ninety percent don't vote is counted the leader of one of one of the party the former prime minister abhisit vejjajiva announce his

resignation as it lies a fourth in the vote says go to florence we who is in the northern city of chiang mai florence tell us first about the results season early results and the picture they paint. as you mentioned if only on expected opinion polls taken just days before voting started have suggested that and that's the party linked to former prime minister taksin shin on what who together with his allies have not lost a single election since two thousand and one had suggested but they would be in the lead so this is unexpected indeed. child who is the current prime minister and who . is the party the military by party that's now in the lead has said that. to vote for him would be to vote for continued stability for thailand and perhaps it appears that voters may have may have bought into that story voters may have agreed

that perhaps he is the leader that can deliver stability to thailand but it is a completely unexpected result because it wasn't what we were expecting and even though the military had in the last five years while it was in power have tilted the playing field to their vantage many analysts had suggested that her tie would still be in the lead and that even though they may not win enough seats or votes to form the next government they would have a chance to form a coalition government but now that appears uncertain ok the area where you are of course has traditionally voted for the former prime minister thaksin shinawatra that's his stronghold words the likelihood of any of his parties being part of a future government in time round. well that's that's really uncertain i mean we really need to wait and see what the results are going to say but at the moment it puts palang pressure on the military backed party in the lead these two it's a it's

a strong rival of the thai party parties that are aligned to talks and so these two parties will not be able to form part of a coalition cotai that however has. a has has as a possible partner in the future forward party and this is a party led by a young billionaire it's done it's doing unexpectedly well preliminary results show that it is just behind the thai party will they have enough seats to perhaps form a coalition with the pad thai party perhaps having said that there is still the democratic party and there's still another mid-sized party these two parties are going to be the likely parties of the military backed parties so it appears however that the military backed party because they're in the lead at the moment but they will likely be part of the coalition government in thailand going forward thank you for the florence free line for a same chiangmai t.t. . director of the institute our security and international studies that tonight on

corn university he says there's a non road ahead until true democracy is returned to thailand. we have to realize that this is a step along the way it's not a return to democracy as such it's a democratic exercise in order to regain a democratic path there's a long road ahead so we have to be mindful and sober about what's to come is not a genuine democracy isn't democracy democratic transition and military custody i mean this election you know we see a lot of all faces veteran m.p.'s the constitution is stacked in favor of the military parties the military government and it looks like we're headed for a longer term military supervision of thai politics but at the same time we're also seeing a younger generation entering the fray this is we haven't had election no election for almost eight years now i think there are a lot of younger people who are under thirty nine under twenty five they have grown

up over the last fifteen years seeing their country being polarized. you know with two military coups judicial coups and so on and they think that probably this is their future that they want to secure they want to make a difference because otherwise it is their country too that they have to live in to kenya now where a severe drought is taking its toll on people in the country the government says more than a million are at risk of starvation al-jazeera is catherine sawyer reports from turkana county one of the worst affected areas. it's weltering in the more i village as from this dry desolate land here to receive food aid from the humanitarian agency wild vision there's a drought in kenya and the government says up to a million people in thirteen of the country's forty seven counties need argent help hiders in the northwest region of two cana a some of the worst affected here they receive saugor rice bins and cooking oil to last them at least a few weeks

so because the rains failed then there were. the water sources now stress in those areas would not be planted and did know as you said livestock postell communities which form three quarters of the population of this code have moved those border lanes where they also conflict with their neighbors or resource sharing cholera malaria and other diseases are threatening survivors of die in southern africa more than seven hundred people like untrimmed killed across the region and that number is expected to rise much of the port city of barite in mozambique is damaged or destroyed survivors have been telling our correspondent tony barely about their. they are tired and traumatized but at least these victims of cyclamen eat i are safe now each one has their own harrowing story about the time the storms came each day more of them come mostly from boozy district.

on monday which a batter is sixty five years of age he had a smallholding and lived alone he was rescued after spending four days stuck in a tree without food he says his life is changed forever by fellow good little blue . i have nothing to go back to my farm my house all were destroyed there is nothing left i need to start afresh but i don't know how. he lives here now in the sim or in michelle's school in bira along with twelve hundred other displaced people. kristina arrived on saturday after surviving for four days on the roof of a church in boozy her foot was infected after she stepped on a piece of submerged roofing while waiting to safety her future like many others is something she finds difficult to contemplate i. from now on life will be difficult i will need food i will need shelter he's crying for food now but i don't know what he will be crying for when we go back. these people are getting three

meals a day and access to medical care so safe and sound and drive but they have no idea when they'll be able to go back to their homes that is if they have a home to go back to was. the massive emergency operation involves dozens of countries and it's costing more than fifty million dollars but the focus is now changing at the moment think that they like us they cute phase of risk is pretty much those people need to be lifted out of raging water. people and trees and the top of the houses most of that is as as as those people most of those people have been risking their artwork the think the focus area at the moment is relief getting that relief to the people who need it is now an urgent priority before cholera and other diseases break out the situation is improving but there are still risks of further flooding sadly the risk of flooding is is ever present and ultimately we have read a lot.
