choosing saudi arabia or failing to protect its allies the full story now with laura bowden monday. after 4 days of intense fighting finally some common street surveyed in but also an accusation of betrayal from the country's interior minister that hundreds of vehicles lane didn't identify the loaded with weapons and ammunition this is to combat mercenaries hired guns who are being manipulated we are just fighting with our hands with whatever however we criticized the silence from our brothers saudi arabia we condemn the silence for 4 days while our partner in the coalition a slaughtering us we will make certain on the ground hours later it was reported that the minister had been evacuated from aden to the saudi border town of shura in mecca his government's leader was photographed with the saudi king but abu drab a month so hard he has lived in exile in saudi arabia for years. this latest

classical adrian began wednesday when southern separatists backed by the u.s. he fought against saudi backed government soldiers took control of the city. by saturday the separatists taken over the city's presidential palace as well as several military camps. a cease fire was called that evening for the eat holiday hours later saudi arabia warned the separatists to stop fighting then followed that warning with airstrikes in aden sent to create a district. in all at least 40 people have been killed in the latest fighting it's actually kind of odd that you would have a cease fire so quickly because that allows the southern separatists to consolidate their gains rather than be ousted rather quickly and so it is it's clear that saudi arabia believes it can mediate and find a solution here and i'm not so sure that they can do that easily the u.n.

humanitarian coordinator for yemen says it's heartbreaking the families are mourning the deaths of their loved ones after dozens of people killed since wednesday. this flag represents the southern separatists final to once again create an independent state of south yemen which existed from 1967 until 1990. and the recent fighting has exposed a rift in the saudi military alliance that has been at war with us since 2015 but it may also open a new front in a war that has killed tens of thousands of people and it's pushed the country to the brink of famine. al-jazeera. who was an advocacy manager in yemen for the norwegian refugee council she says the fighting is forcing foreign aid operations to shut down. our main concern was that the fighting paralyzed humanitarian operations aid organizations and their stocks were

i that affected by the violence or they were hiding in their basements because they were scared for their safety so and what else it did was that the quiting cut off eichel infrastructure so there was a water tank which was damaged which cut off the supply the drinking water for the civilians. so really what they are fighting has done is mean has meant is that it stopped the movement through on a tarion walk. but also the longer it went on formal it was also shutting down aid operation in other areas of the country we would like to continue to provide food water shelter i was just an odd and recently and visited a camp and people are living in terrible terrible conditions and they need all help so really our concern is if the fighting resumes it will shut down our operations not just in our den but the other areas of the south threaten the safety of lost

often civilians and that's what we need to stop we need the situation to go back to normal so that we can provide the help that people need all right here's what's coming up for you on this news on. tear gas and arrests police in hong kong out in full force as the protesters hold more rallies across the temperature the stock economic choice facing voters in argentina as they count ballots in a high stakes presidential primary and sports news as well the 2 men race for the thrilling finish will tell you came out on top in the austrian moto g.p. . right now that we're looking at guatemala where polls will close within an hour in the runoff election for a new president the center right candidate. giamatti. i was ahead of the former 1st lady sandra torres in the pre-vote opinion polls this is his 4th bid for the

presidency a new leader likely to face major challenges implementing a deal signed with the u.s. to turn guatemala into a buffer zone to stem migration will john holmes with us now in mexico city keeping an eye on things i imagine migration as it is across central america will be a very big election issue. yet huge in guatemala right now and one of the reasons you just talked about it a deal done with the united states now the details of that there are this migrants coming through guatemala many of them are going to be from honduras and el salvador they have to arsk for asylum in guatemala rather than go through to the united states if this deal is ratified by the guatemalan congress and that would mean that tens of thousands of people that before would be just passing through having to stay in guatemala and asked for asylum there now this is

a country in which more than half the population lives in poverty and which almost a 1000000 children suffer from malnutrition so of course voters a many politicians as well are asking themselves how exactly is this going to happen and it's going to work now the 2 candidates the left standing in the election of both said that they're not happy about this but say that the outgoing president probably shouldn't have signed that deal but the united states is threatened tariffs if that deal isn't emplace so it's yet to see how exactly they're going to deal with that at some major issue the other one with migration is the fact that what the mother is actually the country itself which sort of sends most migrants to the united states they bring back a lot of money in remittances how exactly is quite to moloch going to stop that if it wants to and if it wants to avoid the anger of president trump one of the candidates mr jemma they has talked about an. economic war to stop them having

to head north to deal with that poverty that i just talked about now the polls are actually closed we'll see shortly in the next couple of hours probably the preliminary results to take who has won the election and what exactly they're going to do about these issues just tell me a little bit if you would john about the candidates themselves you've mentioned this to g.m. out they do people will warm to him and the other candidate the former 1st lady is there is there disillusionment with the choices what's it like. i think you sort of touched upon it when you said that he's campaigned 4 times so far this is for the presidency and obviously on the other of those times he didn't win he's not a man that universally popular is a former doctor he was also the head of the prison system in guatemala and he was accused and then acquitted after that of extra judicial killings while he was in

that role he's a conservative but he is saying that he will grow jobs that will provide economic opportunities for people credits for farmers to try and stop people heading north the other candidate sunda thought is she is the ex-wife of a former president so she's a former 1st lady she's offering social aid programs that made her popular while she was the 1st lady but she's also got a bit of a checkered past she's been accused of elicit campaign funds in the last elections so these are 2 sorts of a little bit shopworn candidates we're not seeing a fresh face hit really hit this time around and it ties into something else that's very important in guatemala right now there was anti corruption commission that was backed by the united nations and it had a huge impact on what amount of politics it led to the next president being put in prison need the kind that it has seemed keen on continuing the work of that

commission sort of really this is an election where there's a lot of disillusionment that is john homan looking at the guatemalan elections thank you we're going to look at argentina now as well with votes being counted in a presidential primary vote which is seen as the 1st concrete measure of voter sentiment ahead of the presidential election in october polls have been predicting a tight race between president. and his main challenger alberto finance as both candidates have made promises to improve the economy of argentina. in buenos aires hello to you what sort of indication will these primaries when they come out give us about the actual next president of. a strong indication simply because voting here in argentina is obligatory the last time they held these primaries 4 years ago something over 75 percent of the

electorate voted the others risk being fined or sanctioned in some other way so a strong indication but the fact that all the major parties have already chosen nec candid means that this is really an indorsement of that decision by the major parties the major coalitions so we will still get a very strong indication that will then give both the major candidates the incumbent president what is your black berry and his major challenger challenger but it often and is 2 and a half months until the end of october when the elect 1st round of elections and you know why the work on the promises that they've made consolidate the support move ahead in that way a very strong indication we will see monday morning here how the markets react to these results when they finally come out we're expecting the 1st results in about an hour or so from now so we will see the reaction from the from the electorate from the markets. to which way this vote is likely to go to tell the journal about

former president christina kirshner who i understand is running as vice president this time but i wonder how much of a shadow she casts over the whole the whole poll. what she was president for 8 years from 2007 to 2015 she was 1st lady for 4 years before that while her husband left the kitchen and was the president of argentina since your machree took over won the elections 4 years ago she's been very much in the background but in the run up to these elections she published her autobiography she's been traveling argentina she says to promote the book many see her as a campaigning for the elections she surprised many when it was announced that she was only the vice presidential candidate working alongside our boat often and this many see that as a way of distancing herself perhaps for maintaining a slightly lower profile because of the allegations of corruption against

a jury in her time in office she obviously denies all of those allegations that it's a political campaign against her but this is all it's a way of removing herself slightly from those allegations but she is still a major figure in argentina has been for a long time and will continue to be so one way or another 10 years from now in buenos aires we'll talk to you again soon thank you now dozens of people have been killed in severe flooding and storms across asia in china typhoon like emails left at least 36 people dead or monsoon rains in pakistan and india have killed 160 and displaced another 165000 reports chalons. china has already see 9 typhoon so far in 2019 but according to news agencies typhoon lekima is the strongest in use in hangzhou city jay-jay and province rivers became a raging destructive torrents rescue was in junior county made high risk efforts to

when officers set off some grenades and moved people out trouble began when right wing jewish groups demanded access to the compound on the muslim holiday of adolf. force that has more. chaos in a confrontation inside the mosque compound on the 1st day eat a lot of. usually non muslims up by. access on muslim holidays but for a 2nd time this summer significant dates for jews and muslims have overlapped and for a 2nd time israeli security forces decided to allow in jewish groups having said they would only do so if they assess the security situation is favorable. towards hoke or may not if the extreme right wing government in the state is supporting the settlers to target the holy sites and to invade them in order to control and to judea zone they try continuously and repeatedly but we jerusalem people are resisting and we will fight on against these practices. earlier on sunday tens of

thousands of muslim worshippers had answered the call from the islamic walk the trust that operates the compound under the authority of jordan to pray in and around other local mosques were ordered closed to maximize numbers the muslim officials aware that right wing jewish nationalists have been demanding access to the site known to jews as the temple mount on t. shirt but of the day jews mourn tragedies in their history including the destruction of the 1st and 2nd temples perhaps the key question about today's events is why the israeli security forces decided to change their minds in the early part of the day i decided to ban on was the ins entry to the al aqsa mosque compound for fear of friction a change that position and friction ensued anyway a police spokesman said the situation changed after they dispersed muslim worshippers using stun grenades tear gas and rubber bullets he denied that was a tactic to clear the way for jewish groups saying security forces responded after chairs and stones were thrown at them there has been an increasingly vociferously

movement on the religious right in israel for more access to the site a change to the status quo arrangements in force since the start of the israeli occupation in 1967 you had a glick is a leading voice in that movement and i asked him whether the decision to allow access was a political one by a government that wants to satisfy right wing voters ahead of september's election mr nathanial last week told the police you do what you think is right i'm not going to get involved and if you say on line that he did it for political reasons you are lying to your crowd it has nothing to do with the decision was made at percy by the office of the police palestinians those see this as intensely political the senior p.l.o. politician hamas accusing israel of recklessness and aggression designed to provoke religious and political tension this holy site is once again a flashpoint and a focal point in the conflict are a force that al-jazeera occupied east jerusalem. to libya where rocket fire has
