you have done nothing whatsoever to ease the situation on the killing or maiming of children section b. list parties all countries that he and his opinion have taken some form of action to protect children to some degree now once again in the report for example he mentions a number of conflicts that occurred a number of incidents against children one by u.s. led coalition in afghanistan the afghan national army the israeli army the sol the led coalition and yemen but in each of those cases none of them are listed in section a now with the saudi led coalition for example that is still in section b. now that is the list as i said of parties that are trying to do something to protect children but one must note that this is the 3rd year in a row that the saudi led coalition has been in this particular section in yemen 729 children were killed when a nd by the saudi led coalition according to the united nations of besta gaiters

that's a 25 percent increase on the year before so human rights watch for example is asking why bodies like this remain in a section of the report where they are saying they are doing something but the figures quoted by the u.n. itself shows exactly the opposite so this is where the debate is going to center once again this year peter about which countries which parties should or should not be on that list of shame him up for some kind of u.n. action in time to come by thank you. plenty more still to come for you here on the news including a vote for any democrat in 2020 years a vote for the rise of radical socialism. why immigration is again once again topping the agenda as the u.s. president returns to the campaign trail. also ahead mozambique's last revels lay down their own. oms as

a landmark piece steals. the sports news an emotional win for this teenage jockey in the u.k. and d.c. with that story in about 30 minutes. the united states is pulling out of a landmark arms control treaty on friday the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty was signed with the former soviet union during the cold war but the u.s. administration says russia has not kept its side of the bargain as our white house correspondent. it's a treaty u.s. president donald trump has repeatedly accused russia of violating right guys not here in the agreement that should have been done years ago the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty was signed in 1087 by then u.s. president ronald reagan and soviet leader mikhail gorbachev for 31 years it's ban both sides from deploying medium range land based missiles halting the arms race

between the 2 superpowers but washington and moscow clashed for years over russia's development and deployment of a cruise missile system the united states and its allies say was prohibited under the cold war pact in february us secretary of state mike pump a.o. announced that of russia did not begin to comply with the agreement the us would withdraw on august 2nd russia has jeopardized the united states' security interest and we can no longer be restricted by the treaty while russia shamelessly violates that announcement prompted russian president vladimir putin in the united states against deploying new missiles in europe well showcasing next generation russian weaponry because i'd like to tell you about the hypersonic missile which can travel at about 9 times the speed of sound has a range of more than 1000 kilometers for months nato leaders urged russia to comply with the deal to prevent its collapse the u.s.

concerns on nato concerns about the new russian missiles have been raised with russia over several years but last minute pleas to keep that deal intact failed in july putin signed a law suspending russia's participation in the agreement now hopes are diminishing for preserving the last remaining arms pact between the united states and russia the new start treaty signed in 2010 and set to expire in 2021 trumps national security adviser john bolton has called. the treaty flawed i fear that without i and now and with the attitude of mr ball with the lack of interest and focus of president we end up without a new start treaty as well we go into a nuclear arms race like we saw in the 1960 s. only more expensive and more dangerous the pentagon has announced it will begin

flight tests of new intermediate range ballistic missiles and cruise missiles by the end of this year and it's requested funding to develop new missile systems that previously would have been prohibited under the eye enough treaty kimberly help al-jazeera the white house. we have 2 correspondents covering both ends of the story here in the news imran khan is standing by for us in moscow with the latest reaction out of russia 1st let's take it to my colleague political hain who's joining us from the bureau in washington so patty key question does this mean a new arms race do we think. well it definitely could if john bolton a still in the office when it comes time to renew it he has made it clear as kimberly mentioned that he sees this as a flawed agreement now the president donald trump has the authority to pull out of this treaty all on his own he doesn't need congressional support but what he does need congressional support with this is hope to modernize the nuclear weapons fleet

he has been pushing that he wants low yield nuclear weapons basically a lot of analysts say that is dangerous because that means they can go on subs they can be deployed forward and that people are much more likely to use them if they feel like it's a small nuclear explosion not a large one he has to get that through congress and right now the democrats who control the house of representatives are really not helping him or going along with basically anything you want in the national defense authorization bill he has said he will veto it but if congress is going to have any impact on this issue look for it in those negotiations and i guess policy as well it chimes with mr trump's agenda as well which is after america protect america in the best way we can. this goes to his america 1st base promise that he was just a few hours ago on the campaign trail and it's also allows him to say look i mean tough on russia after all there's a lot of questions about his campaign and ties to russian officials that goes to

the question of is this something that lattimer putin wanted to see happen we don't know that i think we've heard in the past than he'd been unhappy with this treaty this is the 1st american president who has tried to go in the opposite direction this can really mention it's been decades where this has been president this is set treaty the president though often in that tradition as well thanks very much let's go to imran khan in moscow for us here on the news of the kremlin's reaction to this. well the kremlin haven't actually reacted as the defense ministry that have been reacting the reaction has been short but quite strong and they've said that the us has made a serious mistake in pulling out of the arms treaty they've also gone on to say that they want a moratorium on all short and intermediate range missiles being placed by either side anywhere in the world and the russians also said however that they will react

in kind now what does that mean it means that if the us puts a nuclear missiles in europe for example close to the borders with russia it will react and it will pull missiles closer to the borders with the u.s. and that's an escalation in itself so the reaction has been short what the kremlin probably according to everything that i've been reading so far is going to wait and see what the u.s. does next what does this actually mean when they say they pulled out the i.m.f. treaty does it mean that they will start deploying missiles and then you'll see a much stronger reaction come from the kremlin from the defense ministry here in moscow and run thanks very much. it is a political standoff that's plunged relations between japan and south korea done to the lowest level in years south korea says it will remove japan from its list of preferential trading partners that's in response to tokyo's earlier decision to drop south korea's fast track export status brian has more now from seoul. at an

emergency cabinet meeting call to discuss the deepening rift with japan president moon j.n. of south korea laid the blame squarely with his neighbor. japan's decision is a reckless decision that projects diplomatic efforts to solve the problem and rather worsens the situation i express my deep regret he was responding to the latest escalation in the trade dispute with japan removing south korea from the so-called white list of countries allowed to receive exports of sensitive strategic components that it needs for its high tech manufacturing. it comes on top of restrictions last month on the export of raw materials for the production of semiconductors in south korea with fears of a knock on effect to manufacturing in neighboring countries. japan denies it's linked to

a decades old dispute over its water time record if this move was approved to revise japan's export controls appropriately and was not intended to hurt japan south korea relations or to craft counter measures japan has been angered by a supreme court ruling in favor of victims of forced labor joining world war 2 with several japanese firms ordered to pay compensation that's despite japan's insistence that an agreement in 1965 was meant to have resolved the issue once and for all. but those studying the history of the turbulent relationship say it's clear the 2 sides have always held opposing views on the nature of that agreement. is a hobby up until now they have lived with their separate interpretations but this state of agreeing to disagree has been shaken and can no longer stand after this court decision and now we are at a most critical juncture in korea japan relations and now south korea is saying it

will retaliate and remove japan from its list of preferential trade partners further worsening the dispute rob mcbride al-jazeera soul. will stay with her story robert kelly is a professor of international relations at the national university in south korea a little earlier he spoke to us he says there are no indications the tensions between the 2 countries will end anytime soon. i'm actually pretty worried about this one myself and we've had these sort of sharp things in the past there was a really nasty one about 4 or 5 years ago but this one is this one is really different i think for 2 reasons the 1st is like i said the japanese are sort of punching back on these things a little bit much harder than before it's really clear that the abbaye government spent a lot of time thinking about what kind of vulnerabilities and pressure points south koreans had where they could sort of hit hard and forced south koreans to really think about this right i mean that the south koreans are really not used to this right which is one reason i think south korean government flailed in last couple weeks trying to figure out what to do and the other big change of course is that the trump ministration just isn't interested in what you might call alliance

management when you yeah when president obama was in there president obama actually stepped in himself personally at one point to help mitigate a previous dispute and the chairman astray she is just not that keen on it i mean the trump ministrations a dem you know the u.s. allies often says they're free riders and things like that the trump people just aren't intervening as a korean japan are really on their own on this one which is also kind of new certainly south korean government has insisted that's one of the big reasons why that this is should be a major concern not just for south korea but for others and certainly the american tech press places like bloomberg and so they the wall street journal places like that have said that this is sort of a looming issue i don't know my sense is that south korean companies have a stockpile of the stuff for several months and that the actual the really severe bite of this might not begin to be felt until the fall but i mean if this continues to a lot of course talk about still talking about this in 6 months yes then i think it will be a genuine issue for the tech industry. you know as president donald trump in an single tera some goods from china he says he's not happy with the progress of trade talks and wants a 10 percent tariff imposed on the remaining $300000000000.00 worth of chinese

imports ellen fisher has more now from washington. the chinese u.s. trade talks have been going on for more than a year and the americans thought they had a deal a few months ago but see that the chinese suddenly changed their position and that put everything into a state of flux and created the climate where more discussions were needed they also brought 25 percent tabs on $250000000000.00 worth of chinese imports into the united states no further tired of swer put on hold when the 2 leaders donald trump and the chinese president met at the g. 20 in japan but after the trade talks in shanghai over the last couple of days produced no real advancement donald trump said that he was going to impose further tariffs on u.s. goods this time 10 percent on $300000000000.00 worth of imports speaking before he

left for a rally in cincinnati he said he believes the chinese want a deal they're simply not moving fast enough now i think i think presidential somebody i like a lot i think he wants to make it but frankly is that going he said he was going to be buying from our farmers that he said he was going to stop it all from coming into our country it's all coming out of there he didn't do that well is it thousands of people felt at all and this was 2 things to highlight 1st of all the united states believes that china is dragging its heels on making a deal for 2 reasons 1st of all that the longer this goes on then the u.s. economy me we can and make donald trump very keen to do a trade deal with china the other with the 2020 alexion on the horizon they wonder if a different president might be easier to negotiate with the other thing is that donald

trump has proven that yet again at the rally in cincinnati in ohio he doesn't quite understand what. seeing that china is pouring money into the u.s. economy that is not true it is businesses and people here in the united states who end up paying the tab of the reserve port just last week the see the trade war with china which you'll remember donald trump said should be quick and easy to when it's costing the average american family of 4 somewhere in the region of $2000.00 a year. time he weather his journey and we're talking about i guess one of the consequences of all that rain they've had across europe recently here we are in fact the u.k. particular peter and it was really just one really severe thunderstorm a very short space of time so let me show you 1st this is a region talk about dog which is in these midlands of the u.k. but look at these pictures because you get an idea now this is the told brought reservoir now this reservoir sits literally above

a quite large town 6000 people live there this will have wednesday night these are pictures from thursday so they really are doing all they can to stem the damage you can see look at this this is what's happened so these massive sort of slates that hold the dam in place have actually all come away the police about she issued these evacuation orders in say 6 and a half 1000 people have been told to evacuate and then offshore when they're going to be able to move back now this is what's been going on it really is not a particularly summer like picture at the moment across all of you it was sunny across the u.k. but you'll see in the last few hours those systems have moved away and so now we are enjoying a little bit of a reprieve in between these as i say very some like systems elsewhere in europe again with very strong thunderstorms the last i was working the way across the line of the alps there are warnings in place here for the northwest of the balkans for some severe thunderstorms even the chance of some tornadoes in there as well and this is a picture through friday so that's where the warnings are with the very heavy rain is but a break across the fall northwest in the u.k. somebody's not as bad as well but we have got more systems moving in as we go

through the weekend and generally a very unsettled picture and still very cool in the far east particular cross the in moscow. jenny thanks so much still to come here on the news for you the loyal face punishment civil servants in hong kong define a government orders and returned to the streets. pardon me the floods are receding but the threat for millions is rising we'll have the latest from bangladesh. and in sports we meet the female boxer fighting for equality in ghana. on counting the cost this week we're on patrol off the coast of west africa as a nation is deploying naval forces to counter the scourge of piracy and hostage taking after 6 years of treading water gold prices are on the rise plus how iraq plans to cut its gas if it's counting the cost on al-jazeera.

welcome back let's recap your top stories for you so far this half hour syrian government representatives and the opposition have agreed on a ceasefire in the last rebel held province the opposition says it's already was formed its heavy weapons under the such agreement but the government and its allies broke it 3 months ago. russia says the u.s. navy serious mistake by putting out of a landmark arms control agreement on friday the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty was signed with the former soviet union during the cold war but the. u.s. administration says russia has kept its side of the bargain. south korea says it will remove japan from its list of countries with preferential trading status the. response to japan's earlier decision to drop south korea's export status. thousands of civil servants in hong kong defied warnings from the

government and rallied in support of the pro-democracy protesters they want an independent investigation into alleged police brutality and charges against demonstrators to be withdrawn and follows weeks of escalating protests triggered by a controversial extradition bill thomas is live for us in hong kong and how many people are on the streets. probably about $100000.00 pay said this is a particularly big significant protest because those protesting a civil servants they work for the government a government that they have come out and defied by protesting against an open letter was sent out on thursday by the head of the civil service here at home probably telling civil servants teachers doctors other professionals who work for the government not to come out in protest because to do so would be to put the idea of impartiality over civil service at risk but they've been defied we're expecting tens of thousands i think it was well over

a 100000 people here right in the heart of hong kong in a park right beneath one of the main bank buildings here in the center of this city and the people just spilled right out of that into the straights all around they were 100 state now these protests started of course in june we had further protests throughout july and here we are now in the 2nd of august and the protests show no sign of dying down until we've got more jew on saturday 2 on sunday and then the calls for a general strike on monday now this protest was completely peaceful it's not a festive atmosphere in fact people had come. that's driving past blaring out of the music of les miserables the musical the revolution song from that it's become something of an anthem for this movement people seem to be going now they're going to bit of rain in the last half hour or so which is perhaps dampened things a little but certainly no sign of violence but in the last week the be more days with protests than the been days without and it looks as though that will continue throughout the month of august is a problem for kerry and

a problem for beijing and as much as i guess to ask you the question a different way andrew does this china which is the atmosphere the feeling that makes people go on the streets in protest even though those earlier demonstrations are kicked off in may the hook for those was a different issue completely. that's right well this all began with these controversial proposals to introduce extradition laws here allowing people to be extradited to the mainland china and the government essentially put those on ice or has a completely scrapped them as the protesters want but it's affectively done the same thing but these protests are no longer about that this is now just a general movement calling for more democracy in hong kong and to call it even less live aside from beijing of course that's the last thing that beijing wants to give people here they do not want to be saying feedback from down on anything and when it comes to one of the big issues which is the resignation of the chief executive terry lamb well if they would say and i'm talking about beijing here if they were allowed to step down it would look like a big victory here for the protests in hong kong and the concern of course in

beijing is that that potentially could spread beyond hong kong to other parts of china and that is the big big elephant in the room here they don't want to rabbit to be pulled out of the house they don't want anything here in hong kong to happen that could spread elsewhere now they have tried to dissuade people from protesting there was that video that was released on thursday by the garrison of the people's liberation army of china and that was showing they all me dealing with hypothetical riots the essential message stats of protest this was if you come out protesting big numbers we could if we wanted to send in the middle. try and look what would happen if we did that was a warning it certainly hasn't worked tonight that they're expecting oversight tens of thousands we think that was well over 100000 people who took part in this one and there's not a lot of these protests dying down anytime soon thank you very much. ok turn attention to yemen where the rebels launched a medium range ballistic missile on saturday and backed forces on thursday a military parade was targeted in aden killing 36 people including

european union liberal democrats and that will make it harder for mr johnson to push through his plans for possible no deal bracks it that he says will happen on october the 31st chalons is in london. he's just 8 days into his premiership and already he's being given a pretty cold shower in this by election he talks about optimism and confidence but this really does leave his new government hanging by a thread really it reduces his parliamentary majority to just one and. that means that the already dodgy situation that he was in is made even more dodgy hasta relying on the unity of his conservative party and the support of the democratic unionist party of northern ireland to basically prop up this new government and allow it to pass any legislation but not just to pass legislation

but to survive as well because it would only take a couple of defectors it would only take a few of those you see m.p.'s deciding they didn't want to support the conservative government to bring this whole edifice crashing down and there are many members of parliament within the conservative party who have said that they don't like boris johnson's idea of taking the u.k. out of the european union without a deal something that boris johnson has said he's very willing and able to do and a couple have even suggested they might vote against the government if it looked like he was going to do that. asylum seekers in mexico who've been sent back from the u.s. while waiting for an answer can now use a new set shell to ensure a chance what is the center was opened by the mexican government and it's the 1st
