35 and it runs through north korea and then they found all these to china or into siberia really very resorts 22 just on the edge of it different running between tuesday and wednesday you can see it's a consistent frontal system it dies down a bit overnight so as to reestablish itself by wednesday during the day with thunderstorms probable in north korea back into china but beijing is back in the sunshine a hot 37 and all this time part from a cloud in northern home soon. it's been in the middle or low thirty's for most japan and fairly dry probably quite he would have to say now there is something happening for the south that might have all kicked that seasonal right out of the way it is developing here a tropical storm possibly quite significant certainly looks it giving a lot of rain to luzon including manila during tuesday and then between tuesday wednesday or probably developed and then drifts slowly towards the chinese coast which means hong kong will be minimal wet and windy.

is al-jazeera quite right on the headlines for you the chinese government has reiterated it supports for hong kong's leader carry law when weeks of mass protests beijing's top office on hong kong policy says the demonstrations are normal or peaceful and are a challenge to the room of law the president of nigeria has ordered a military operation to hunt down suspected boko haram gunmen who attacked a funeral at least 65 people were killed near might agree the capital of borno states in the northeast of the country. and the government has been shot dead by police after he killed 3 people at a food festival in the us state of california it happened in the city of gilroy south of san francisco another 15 people have been injured. i don't know drums chief of spies says leaving director all the national intelligence time coats has clashed and contradicted the president over russia iran and north korea mike hanna has more washington. my this was the moment that it would appear most angered

president trump flanked by soprano intelligence chiefs dan coats presents the annual worldwide threat assessment to the senate intelligence committee or mine and essentially says that the basis for the president's enthusiastic endorsement up north korea and good intentions is not just flawed but wrong we currently assess that north korea will seek to retain its w m d capabilities in is unlikely to completely give up its nuclear weapons and production capabilities because its leaders ultimately view nuclear weapons as critical to regime survival in response the president angrily tweeted that intelligence should go back to school. you. know i disagree with certain things that they said i think i'm right but time will prove that time will prove me right probably then an oval office meeting with the intelligence chiefs followed by this version of events and they said that they

were totally misquoted and they were totally it was taken out of context so what i do is i'd suggest that you call them they said it was fake there so which frankly isn't surprised that this was not the 1st time they'd been disagreement the director of national intelligence repeatedly did mining the president's view that there was doubt about the level of russian involvement in u.s. politics and on at least one occasion visibly surprised that news coming from the white house we have some breaking news the white house has announced on twitter that lattimer putin is coming to the white house in the far again i dan coats was the last national security figure left from the very 1st time cabinet and even though he had no intelligence background he'd earned bipartisan respect in congress with many messages of support in recent weeks. in ident coats is a good friend former senate colleague and leader of integrity who's always served our

country well said senator susan collins i served on the joint economic committee with dan coats as representative done by a he was widely respected and trusted by everyone on both sides is a man of integrity but trump doesn't want integrity he wants people who tell him what he wants to hear and intil leaders who will agree that 2 plus 2 equals 5 and i beautiful spring day it's unlikely that dan coats will read to children with his wife at another white house easter egg roll. it was a boy. who was a girl and enjoyed disagreement with no consequence to like the story mike hanna al-jazeera washington the lawyer of russian opposition leader alexina valmy says he has been poisoned with an unknown chemical all in prison according to on these talks so he has now been released from hospital and has been taken back to jail the

opposition leader was hospitalized on sunday with signs of an acute allergy he's been serving a facet a prison sentence since wednesday after calling for government protests let's get more on this from iran can his life is in moscow and what was the latest on the volleys how this is people in pakistan for its. that's absolutely right it depends on who you speak to now his medical team his doctor said he was in a stable condition but they are now concerned because he's back in jail he's going to get ill again because when he was in hospital he wasn't given all of the right tests needed to figure out what was wrong with him now the doctors said they had broken out in hives but he doesn't have they say a history of allergic reactions to anything so they don't know what caused it in the 1st place now they're very concerned when he goes back to john hughes now back in jail that he will simply be killed become ill again because they don't know what caused it in the 1st place that's

a real concern they've also said that they want him to remain in hospital until he's been given the complete all clear now when you have such a prominent opposition activist like this is always suspicion of foul play now they've used the words we think he's been poisoned by chemicals but they're not saying that that might have been deliberate they're saying that the conditions at the jail might been so dire he could have simply become ill just by being in a prison cell and coming into contact with a substance so right now the concern is from his medical team from his doctor who has been speaking to journalists and talking on his social media is that he's going he's back in jail and he's likely to become ill again he has to spend another at least 3 weeks in jail he was arrested on july 24th it's a 30 day sentence so august 23rd is when he'll be released and that's that's a very long time so i know it's a real concern for his doctors k.m.r. and life as a moscow thank you. boris johnson as looking to strengthen scotland's relationship

thank you. a record number of children dying in war and conflict the u.n. names and change those responsible in places like yemen and the palestinian territories the do the powers behind the bombs and the bullets actually care what needs to be done to protect the lives of children this is inside story. thanks. hello and welcome to the program i'm dennis them all kids are dying in wars

and conflicts than ever before that's according to the united nations which is about to release its annual report on children and armed conflict out 0 has seen an advance copy a special u.n. representative found more than $24000.00 cases of children being killed maimed or forced to become child soldiers last year the report highlights rising casualties in war zones such as yemen where the saudi u.a.e. coalition is fighting who the rebels and despite condemning israel for the deaths of palestinian children israel is not on the reports blacklist of offenders right let's have a look at some of those figures now the report says the saudi u.s. coalition in yemen is responsible for almost half of all child casualties in the country last year 729 killed or injured out of a total of almost $700.00 the who the rebels were blamed for. $398.00 casualties

and the yemeni government forces were blamed for $58.00 the un says israeli forces caused the deaths of $56.00 palestinian children and the wounding of almost $2700.00 now that's the highest number in 4 years and there syria airstrikes barrel bombs and cluster munitions killed or injured more than 1800 children and afghanistan tops the list for another year with more than 3000 child casualties. are either introduce our panel now in toronto by scott we have know her eldar hobb who is a fellow at the brookings doha center specializing in conflict and transitional justice in beirut we have rami curie senior fellow at the is on fire is institute for public policy at the american university of beirut in lancaster in the u.k.

also on skype simon mabel and senior lecturer in international studies at lancaster university while come to you all know her i've just i've just read out a litany of bad news affecting children around the world particularly in conflict areas why do you think we're seeing a larger number than ever before of children being killed or maimed in conflicts. well the short answer really is that there's a there's a lack of accountability for these for these violations and actually the bad news that you just mentioned is in reality much much worse than what is captured in in such u.n. reports i mean with regards to yemen for example the the the number of child casualties mentioned in these reports is only really a glimpse into the extent of the atrocities the children suffer these casualties have to do with armed conflict in a very sort of narrow sense in the sense of ground fighting airstrikes unexploded

ordinances and so on but really there are tens of thousands of children who are dying of starvation and of disease as a direct result of the armed conflict and so unfortunately these reports only really capture a very small parts of what is actually going on here that even mowgli meis natan rami do you agree with no have them that it is really as a consequence of of a failure of an international system of accountability. yes i agree fully with her and i would even go further because you have situations like in palestine and israel for instance where the conflict creates damage to schools children become displaced jobs are lost because of the siege on gaza normal economic activity can't go on so the entire economic foundation of a society the palestinian society starts to crumble and families don't have an a full malnutrition increases stunting increases so there's

a whole ripple effect of damage that's done to the physical and mental wellbeing of entire families not just the children and these these reports really capture just the surface manifestation of the worst battle casualties but the the depth of destruction is much worse and parallel to that is what she said at the beginning that there's no accountability the whole process of international law has collapsed in virtually most of the middle east because even have you know respectable governments like some like the u.a.e. in the saudis on the back of any isn't the egyptians and others who are doing terrible things to their people in jails to killing people after kangaroo trials you have countries like iraq and syria and parts of lebanon and other places where terrible things are happening to people and there's just no real international accountability whatsoever because the all out warfare that has spread across the

region essentially since the syrian war started 8 years ago has really and go for many many parts of the area and therefore law really finds no place trying to rear its head right in some incoming c.e.o. i'm also looking at figures of this coming from a save the children report from earlier this year which says that 5 times more children than come buttons are actually killed in comfort i mean is the nature of conflict the way was a being forced is it changing in is that perhaps responsible for the increasing number of of children getting caught up. you know i think that's probably one of the reasons we know the conflict is getting more complex we know that battle battlegrounds are changing traditionally they would be separate from urban areas and in recent years particularly post 911 in the middle east we've seen that they've become really really embedded within an area is so as conflict increases as

conflict becomes more and more intractable it's going to have more and more of an impact on the lives of people living within those cities so i don't think it's particularly surprising that the conflict has become more complex it's become more embedded structurally within the political fabric of of a state and as a consequence it's having an absolutely devastating effect on the people that are most vulnerable living within those particular areas children the elderly the infirm people who are unable to to flee in these conflict zones and i think think what romney has just articulated about them and whole time mentions are incredibly important this rip this report this is hugely devastating in terms of the death and the casualties of the children but there is of course a much deeper mental die mention in terms of the amount of trauma that children have gone through the p.t.s.d. that they will experience through through living in that or meant to years through

a conflict so which will have an absolutely devastating impact on their lives right on the lights of those around them and so very very grim today but also incredibly grim for the future it would have been know how coming back to you. when we're talking about the changing nature of conflict we are not necessarily talking about state to state how we went from talking about non-state actors a battling each of the civil war was localized into national intra national comfort and is this perhaps a contributing factor to the to this terrible scenario that when when. looking at today and that is not just of children but civilians being killed and injured increasing the. yes i mean absolutely the the the the expanding sort of nature of non-state actors and their role in an armed

conflict certainly complicates and worsens. the the the crimes committed in these conflicts but it also complicates this issue of holding non-state actors accountable and i should add that there's another very sort of important missing part of of these reports when you when you look at them you know you'll see countries such as sudan and you know the democratic republic of congo yemen syria etc listed and the parties to those conflict named and shamed for for their role in the armed conflicts but the big missing part here is the role of western powers in particular whether it's the u.s. or the u.k. and their complicity and their support it's really in in the perpetration of these crimes and since we're on the subject of non-state actors there's also this issue of course of these multinational corporations and their role in and their

complicity in these crimes and so this is another sort of achilles' heel of these reports is that they don't really capture the the role of the stars and how powerful would it be if the u.k. and the u.s. and other such powers were named and shamed for their role and per in perpetrating these atrocities whether it's in syria area men or other well there are efforts to do that and there are efforts in the u.k. against the british government and indeed against in congress against the u.s. government ramey coming to you. i'm just wondering no how much of the concept of naming and shaming how how how. shane would a country be like for instance the saudi coalition in yemen which is named in this report to be released by the un next week and how shamed would that coalition be to be on that to be publicly identified as being responsible for

so much horror i mean do you think it really matters to them. well recent years suggests that it doesn't matter at all because what they would do is they would go to the white house announce a big new arms deal with the united states go to london announce a big new p.r. campaign with big pictures on buses maybe go buy a football team in paris and then they would be the best friends of the 2 major western powers and nothing else really matters to them this is one of the problems and heard them mention this the presence of the international players is really the terrible thing that's happened and this comes right out of the syrian war the syrian war was which is still going on it was really has been really a terrible historical turning point because what's happened in the last 8 years in syria is we've ended up with coalitions of a major international power a local government or 2 and non-state actors all working together in

a fighting force on the ground so in russia you had russia the syrian government has below and various groups on the ground facing rebel groups the united states gulf supporters and sometimes turkey so these coalitions on both sides fighting each other you have the same thing in yemen. and you have this now happening in every in libya you're starting to see it and there's direct not only direct involvement and western and russian and turkish and other of iranian other foreign governments not just supplying arms and but they're actively fighting on the ground with their troops with their artillery units with their special forces and with their air forces it's quite an extraordinary situation of all out warfare all.
