unfold 50 full of a 1000000 like we don't know. the ripple effect is so much becker than any of us are even able to measure. the backyard. hardwood coper people over. because she always used to be up there the matter what time of day it was my to be up there. the biggest one. we'd always list her number back yard but that's where we were. we wouldn't hear her but we'd hear her by. one of the most important things law enforcement can do when someone goes missing is to act quickly. that didn't happen in the

case of 14 year old he scott on the northern cheyenne reservation in montana she was this place the ball of light that would just be. the last time her mother policy spoke to her it was a friday evening last december and he called to ask if she could go to a basketball tournament and i told her no i mean you can't you're grounded. and she said ok i'll be home in a bit i'm not so last i heard. when he didn't come home hala 1st took to social media to ask if anyone had seen her. 5 days later she and her husband nathan went to the local law enforcement the bureau of indian affairs or b i a a federal agency the reason why i was down there is reaching out to them is because i needed help to look oh where. when they told me you know did she took

her friend's house or maybe the boyfriend did you check there yeah i checked there that's why i'm here because i need more help looking out where. it's not clear where even if the police searched for honey but what pollinate do know is that an alert was issued for her until 2 weeks after they reported her missing. by that point the family had organized a volunteer search party for. this and some birds going up and down. the search parties for someone so another search party system once. we walked down to you know. like you smothered the snow. that's when i got. to feeling you know i'm trying to you know and to find some place around. when it got dark they called of the search for the night with plans to resume in the

morning so that that's when they found. they found. where i went down the ravine. the founder of towards the house. maybe able to 50 yards from where i was. and this felt like i should of went there you know. what i know. and then they brought her down to that building where we were they'd just like open the back of that suburban she was already in a body bag and they just like stand beside their have a moment. paula nathan told us there have been few

answers from authorities since he was found i believe by i wasn't taken seriously but if i had. that she would be here. my. sick is the ones. that hurts the most. i just like last night and. a baby girl was described you know. and she said you know this was from. my heart hurts you know my. heart is breaking. because i moved god bless. the bureau of indian affairs declined our request for an interview citing the open investigation which is being conducted by the f.b.i. . but we get through. to get through a lot because it's hard but it is our. but you

know. we want justice to be served. we want. we want the process to work for us. but getting justice for hani might not be easy fighting violent crime and achieving justice on reservations is complicated due to a collision of different factors. one is that most tribal police departments are understaffed and under-resourced now reservation was not a white bread and. this is a great and we've come to the navajo nation the largest native nation in the united states is a beer sprout 40000 people that win in this but you cover. and that's based on the last census from 2000. and one for more now and that's where you know

if i get a call. you know that's a good hour after i get. the navajo nation stretches across 3 states new mexico arizona and utah. and its police force is spread thin we do investigations we try to get as much done right then and there but sometimes we do. you need to go back and do follow ups and try to go back and visit people find people but then were stowed on a regular patrol duty on a given night like this we're just going to go from call the call the call. another factor is that tribes don't have jurisdiction over non-native americans for all crimes aside from domestic violence a recent change but beyond that they also have limited sentencing power even over members of their own nation for major crimes including homicide assault and

kidnapping what this means is that addressing violent crime is primarily in the hands of the federal government in the late 19th century the federal government imposed itself on tribal nations unsaid. basically we don't trust you to police yourselves and pass laws that allow them to come into indian country and do crime control it was imposed it wasn't a request for the tribal nations and yet that still the law today that governs when a family is going through a crisis and i think the way to system is set up is that if federal doesn't take it for whatever reasons then we still can prosecute tribal court for it but the maximum we can they could be given is a year prison up to $5000.00 fine for a white year in prison and a $5000.00 that's the maximum we could do for any or what for the homicide charge on the tribal level that's to maximum right there you would all rather. go at the

the federal level with the f.b.i. and cia. the problem with the federal authority is that there has there been a lot of concerns that the federal agencies don't respond that they don't take these crimes seriously typically federal officials or federal criminal authority is interested in you know white collar crime and terrorism and immigration and major drug trafficking rings so when they hear oh you need to go investigate a domestic violence offense there's a sense culturally in the in the department that that's not my job i have more more important things to do than worry about what's happened to one indian woman 4 and a half hour drive away. the wait for justice is something valley and knows too well. her older sister ariel went missing in the summer of

2017 she was 26. just a few months later her remains were found in the canyon below this bridge in arizona. this is where my sister was found. when i'm told where my mom was so when i just started putting flowers here to remember her and just to get a piece of where she was last found right where she lost her correctly yes. it's difficult to know that. this is no nuns the bridge to my family someone that we used to call. her sister you know was known as just the bridge. even though it's been a year and a half since ariel was found value told us they only know what they hear from whispers in the community these are that. she was thrown off. and the people responsible went back down there and cutter and half. way burned her

lower part of the body and we left we have records still to find that out from the from the f.b.i. or did somebody else tell you that i'm an elder sister. just rumors we don't hear stuff directly from the year this year. it was nearly a year before ariel's remains were returned to value the family. by that time their mother jack one had passed away it impacted her the words she used to press she would call me and she bit me when you do. nothing mom what are you doing as well what i'm over here at the bridge i'm spending time with your sister. at one point value says investigators suggested ariel had taken her own life instead what do you know what happened you found people won't get it will be they will go rethink it suicide and the world suicide that's long apostles long since she had no reason to

kill herself when she was excited for my pregnancy and to meet the baby so my told no. a lot of stuff to look for. to consult with my grampa there's only one that can get him to take a selfie who's this that's my son oh yeah she she and him shared a close relationship you know. since that initial meeting with authorities there's been no answers only questions as to what really happened to ariel the f.b.i. victim advocate she just tells me that there isn't much evidence. the case. of some of her own mom and. a lack of evidence is the main reason federal officials give for declining to prosecute crimes on reservations that shouldn't be the end of the discussion. there should be then a ok let's see what went wrong in this case why the years no evidence or why the

evidence isn't good enough and make sure that doesn't happen again rather than just repeating the cycle over and over and over. the f.b.i. declined to speak with us about ariel's case citing the open investigation justice at this point it just seems really are you know. i want justice for my sister but it just seems like the person up there is still up there around their daughters sisters aunts. he can do it again but he thinks that no one can. convict him of the crime that he did. behave just want to see him off the streets you know i don't know who he is. that's all i want. one thing that's helped dahlia and other families we spoke with this to talk about their loved ones so people know who they were and what happened to them she was a beautiful person and she cared and loved everyone. and she wanted the best for

everybody. some states and federal officials have started to take action. new legislation is being proposed with the goal of tracking how many indigenous men and women have gone missing and to find solutions. it's a small step but it's one that families. hope can prevent others from experiencing the loss they had asked. for her to be that you know on. this tarp breaking. point of all the worry cover from their. after beautiful it's. because the next said sure son who. is gone. chests love from the. cruise. that brought

a movement that. needs to be judged. not only in this state but if you were in the country. oh i'm one of the fortunate ones that got to find my girl and bring her home there's some ladies out there that . never fall married daughters or sons and never got to bring them home. or the other people don't know what you're going to get inside but there are so many expectations of you you'd like to just move on with life you can't. nobody has sold the room glowed with the hand as a close or as given infection and that's what it's doing it inside of our hearts if in fact this poison our spirits it's causing most somatics trauma. we have to

keep searching for her we can't let. anything stop us because if we don't look cool is going to look. i don't have that smile. on which i can see. anything you say tight brows can be held against. food lines investigates how governments are using israeli software to turn critic cell phones into the ultimate tools of surveillance just exposure your personal world doesn't just stop at you right extends out to the people you care about trusted you and it makes you toxic cross border any phones anyway targeted by text on al-jazeera.

needed food and medicine. millions. all facing famine after more than 4 years of fighting between the forty's and the coalition led by sad eurabia and the united arab emirates. according to united nations healthy rebels will redeploy from her data and the ports of salif used for grain and there are safe and entry point for oil we have a huge problem terms of the lack of trust between the saudi led coalition ready on one side who the rebels on the other worse very good but develops a little bit of trust that could potentially pave the way to eventually solving this conflict is going to really require some actions. there many governments backed by the coalition have expressed skepticism over the agreement on friday the minister of information mohamed el any any tweeted any you know actual deployment that does not allow for the principle of joints monitoring and verification of the

terms of the sweden agreement is elusive and unacceptable the amany government did not state whether vested would make a reciprocal move what little bit was shouted out of the agreement stipulates that both sides withdraw at the same time we complied with the agreement and we expect the saudi led coalition to do the same if they don't we've made our point. plans were brokered by an led committee under the stockholm agreement a package between the rival competence last year. but soon after a cease fire was agreed on the 18th of december fighting resumed in the port city of her date and since then repeated attempts to enforce the truce have failed the un says it is monitoring the redeployment of fighters from the ports yet it's still unclear how far forces will go and who will eventually control the 3 ports. there are several sticking points there's still no clarity about who will take

control of the ports in her data as who feeds redeploy those forces then there's the critical question of the sun our international airport which has been closed to commercial traffic since 2016 the opening of the airport is urgently required for yemenis trapped in to see controlled areas and to bring in much required medical and food supplies the payment of salaries to public sector employees yemen's main workforce and rebel held areas who stopped getting their salaries for months from the yemeni government based in aden helen like an associate research with the london middle east institute and author of yemen in crisis the road to war she says the pulling back of the who sees is an important move. the rayment was made 5 months ago greenman to 6 trimly ambiguous and is open to any number of interpretations and therefore that that's been one of the reasons there's been such a long delay and during this delay they've been many occasions when both sides have

claimed that they were going willing to withdraw and to follow and to respect the agreement but in practice it's very clear that both sides have sailed to do so and i think it's particularly into important that the who says has now decided to uni lever to really withdrawal we have to my knowledge no evidence that the forces of the internationally recognized government and the coalition have been doing any withdrawing at all and all of this is extremely important in anticipation of the next un security council meeting on the 15th of this month because there have been increasing threats from the west from the americans to support the saudis further and from the saudis and the m a hottie and there's been a lot of talk of the possibility or even the likelihood of the offensive on her day there which was interrupted last november in anticipation of the meeting that took

place in the symbol. of that offensive being renewed and i think it's been something that many people and certainly millions of yemenis have been very concerned and fearing because also there's been so little progress there has been remarkably almost a fairly effective cease fire around her day that. the world health organization says more than 450 people have now been killed in the battle to the libyan capital tripoli the u.n. security council has called for a cease fire as well orderly for afters campaign to capture the city shows no sign of stopping the red cross says residential areas are gradually. setting up the battlefields with almost 60000 people having been displaced aid agencies are warning hospitals they're struggling with power cuts and chronic medical shortages . 3 of the 4 hostages rescued by a french special forces and back enough are so have now arrived in france the

all of the leaders of this country a fair monday to a bird a better south africa for all. correspondent who is at the national results center in pretoria malcolm what's your reading of those comments from mr romack. the president ran opposer was speaking very much in his capacity as the outgoing president he wasn't talking party politics at all we are the course is the result center of the electoral commission here so he was thanking south africans for voting thanking different people who played roles in this election and praising the success of the democratic process. he's actually now technically not the president for the next 2 weeks and then he'll be sworn in for his next in about 2 weeks from now we also expect him.

supporters that's where more likely to. celebration of a victory for for his party for the a.n.c. but here was very diplomatic very kind of neutral beach just praising the democratic process. what does he say or do malcolm to keep those people who didn't vote for him trappy when he becomes president again in what 2 and a bit weeks time. it's a bit loud here didn't exactly catch your question but the a.n.c. is vote share has been declining over every election since 1904 when apartheid ended democracy began it's got the lowest majority now that it's ever had people say have the lowest turnout in an election in south africa since since democracy key reasons for that of a series of corruption scandals especially under the rule of 4 the president jacob

zuma within the last 10 years and also ongoing protest against public service help or delivery of public services they happen almost every week in south africa and have done say since the early 2000 that explains i guess at least in part the a.n.c. is declining vote share at all so it's clear that a lot of south africans don't find the opposition any more convincing that's why we're seeing it decreasing turnout as well welcome thank you. for still to come for you here on al-jazeera opposition supporters protesting in venezuela's capital against the murder of government's crackdown on dissent will be live in caracas. also ahead pushed to the brink the people of sudan continue to toil under economic hardships under the new military rulers.
