6:05 am
a commentary that didn't resonate well with other peers in the brazilian government i think that this is rhetoric towards the internal brazilian. public because it's all of us that do the usage of this money would be determined by the brazilian authorities it would be impossible for any of this help to come and for the g 7 to determine how to employ this money during the past decades and many years we had the amazonian fund which was funded by norway and germany and not in a single moment germany and norway decided how this money would be used it was always 100 percent a decision of the brazilian government on how to use so this comment is more towards the brazilian public there wants to see this demonstration of independence in the usage of money than anything else. the presidents of turkey and russia say

from antakya. rigid time bird one's dash to moscow was partly because of the challenge that the turkish military now finds itself with it has a dozen observation posts in what are supposed to be deescalation zones in northwestern syria one of those is now marooned in what is now syrian regime controlled territory because it was taken back in fighting last week and the syrian regime is pushing against other areas in this deescalation zone and these observation posts risk falling back into territory under syrian control raja type heard one wants to make sure that those turkish soldiers are not threatened by a longer term challenge that the turkish president is how much longer he needs to keep the ones to keep the soldiers in those observation posts when what was a deescalation zone is now territory under syrian control similar at the same time syrian kurdish forces that they have pulled back from the turkish border up to 17 kilometers they're pulling heavy weapons and troops but only from the countryside
6:10 am

6:16 am
forced to gather the little they have left and leave for drier lands. where you get you to because i've lost almost everything but i'm better off than a lot of others the farming areas we had here been completely destroyed by the floods sammy is one of at least 190000 people who've been forced out of their homes due to rains and floods in the past 3 weeks across the country. 17 of sudan's 18 states have been affected and more than 20000 homes have been destroyed people living along the banks of the nile river have suffered the most because of the floods or drama that has become a largely empty town with most of its houses either partially underwater or completely destroyed many of the people here have sought shelter at a nearby camp and those who remain are waiting to leave with their belongings as well. those who have moved to the camp say they're worried about how long they'll have to stay there are warnings there now could continue to swell. we're now in a camp that we don't own anything i have left with only one of my children i can't
6:17 am
continue to live in a camp where there are little services in the army we don't want i had already things but for the government to give us a plot of land to stay on to give us lands to compensate for the ones we have lost in the floods the disaster management committee in would say there are also other concerns. that you don't even and then there's at least $1200.00 families but not enough tents there are no lights or electricity we need the authorities to respond with more tents and there's an issue of access to clean water we also need more security. just last week residents of wood really had been helping people in neighboring areas who were the 1st to be affected by the floods now they need assistance as they try to salvage the little they have left if they're not relocate it will be forced to wait for the floodwaters to recreate so they can go back home to what was once home he will morgan al-jazeera would probably not assume flash floods of killed at least 3 people in mauritania rains hit the southern part of the

country catching many by surprise people were seen desperately trying to save their livestock as the fast moving waters swept across the region. the u.s. is expected to bring you ever it's to find a diplomatic solution to the war in yemen according to the wall street journal he says u.s. officials will meet saudi representatives in washington a mistake to try and convince them to meet rival hooty of interest in oman the 4 year conflict has generated strong opposition in america with politicians on both sides voting to stop us military support to the saudi u.a.e. coalition saudi arabia and the u.a.e. are accused of killing silence of civilians there since 2015 or have some l. tell you about is a legislative representative for middle east policy and friends committee on national legislation and he explains how the u.s. could bring saudi arabia to the negotiating table. right now the administration and the united states we have
6:19 am
a lot of leverage over the situation because of our military aid to both saudi arabia and the u.a.e. zwar in yemen we provide logistical support intelligence we provide spare parts transfers and weapons sales so i think they are going to be forced to listen if we are willing to remove that support for the coalition right now congress is in dialogue they've taken several votes to condemn this military campaign there right now in joint conference dialogues between the house and senate to decide on the national offense budget and in that budget there are many myths that would end bomb sales and logistical support so i think with these pending decisions made on the defense budget there is some pressure to move this forward this is a very difficult complex situation i think the for the who sees to be satisfied and
6:20 am
probably i can imagine that they want they want to see an end to the blockade and to the aerial strikes on their territory i think saudi arabia you know it's unclear at the moment what would appease them but hopefully they can come to a cease fire in a power sharing arrangement in yemen which i think is the only way forward philippine president raji go did start say well wrong say in beijing nato and wait and stay ahead of talks with chinese be there she can ping and it could be a tense me take this far as he has said he's planning to raise their rival claims to territory in the south china sea haifa has more from beijing. in the days leading up to philippine president rodriguez do tear taze 5th visit to china he took a firm stance on what will be discussed saying that he canceled the trip if he could not talk about the 2 $1016.00 world court to try butyl ruling over china's territorial claims in the south china sea it sided with the philippines china
6:21 am
rejects the ruling to territory enjoys an approval rating of about 80 percent but he's facing pressure over what critics say is an increasingly close relationship with china he's called it a delicate balancing act when chinese president xi jinping visited the philippines late last year billions of dollars in investment were promised most of it has yet to materialize i think the question to test it is how much self is he willing to concede in order to get this money and if the money is not turning up or china slow with the money or these projects are not what they been hyped to be then you got to you know and then that adds another complicating factor in june a chinese vessel rammed a philippine fishing boat 22 filipino fishermen were left floating in the sea they were rescued by a vietnamese boat the public was angered by the incident present new territory viewed it as minor his china visit comes at a time according to a recent study more than half of filipinos surveyed have little trust in china but
6:22 am
something else despite this now is the time to draw china closer philippines has to take advantage of the situation you should capitalize on opportunities the opportunity now is there is a trade war going on between foreign and the us with tariffs continuously rising. time to move around so while president hu territory may say he's standing up for the philippine people and their interests he will ultimately be judged on what he can actually get from china in terms of territorial agreements and promised investment dollars scotland al-jazeera beijing. muslim clerics ensure longer advising women to avoid wearing face veils even though government face coverings ended last week and in calling that prevents a person from being identified was banned under emergency rules belts and after the easter bomb attacks in april religiously distilled al-jazeera women should make their own decision health workers in the world's largest refugee camp say they are
