in texas leading presidential candidates for the democratic party face off for the 1st time. absolutely adored. the u.k. prime minister denies lying to the queen over the suspension of column and. first the u.s. government is due to reveal new details about saudi arabia's alleged involvement in the 911 attacks victims' families have been lobbying to get more information about exactly who coordinated the hijacking of the planes and now the f.b.i. will release the name of one saudi official it says is the most wanted gabriel elizondo reports from washington. just

a day after the 18th anniversary of the 911 attacks new information on the possible involvement of the saudi government the u.s. department of. justice release the name of a saudi government official allegedly involved with the system the 1st group of 6 hijackers came to the u.s. to plan the attack that killed more than $2900.00 people the name of the official investigated by the f.b.i. has been kept under seal for several years when lawyers representing the victims' families biled lawsuits to hold saudi arabian officials they say were involved accountable lawyers representing saudi arabia have for years tried to block the name from being released it raises a whole host of questions about the nature of the saudi support for example who gave instructions to the saudi official in riyadh to give this kind of support

to the hijackers the saudi hijackers who are here in california it opens a whole host of questions about the nature of official saudi involvement in the 911 attacks lawyers for victims of the 911 attacks say they are pleased with the justice department's decision but say they look forward to more revelations coming out in the coming days and weeks this all comes at a critical time in relations between riyadh and washington october 2nd marks the one year anniversary of the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi at the saudi consulate in istanbul a killing the cia said was likely ordered by crown prince mohammed bin. but u.s. president donald trump still considers saudi arabia a key u.s. ally because in part the kingdom buys billions of dollars in arms purchases from the us some of those arms used in the saudi led war in yemen now in its 5th year it has killed tens of thousands of people but for the victims of the worst attack on

u.s. soil getting to know the name of the saudi official allegedly involved will aid their efforts to finally get justice for those who died on 911 gabriel's andro. washington we've been speaking to just shine executive director of the arab center in washington he thinks the decision will affect u.s. saudi relations which at a critical point. this could add i think to the intensity of the conflict between the 2 parties it could be on the political level where differences might emerge between the let's say the position of the administration particularly the justice department and the saudi government with regards to the content of these items to be released it could be also on the legal which is probably of more concern to the saudis in the sense

that they have managed to con if if you will not only block but delay some of the legal action against them and if you lose some of these cases in court but now with names they might face some additional lawsuits that p.r. image is going to be probably the more serious aspect in terms of the damage emanating from this and the saudis are related that at least they have applied some brakes on the concern speed are wise of the killing they're killing of their mouths actually but now this could kind of start if you will dip be our campaign all over again this is not something that saudi officials are looking forward to to see again the united nations as well and that 10000000 people in somalia face starvation by the end of the summer unless the well take the media to action it's

been one of the driest seasons in a moment 3 decades now they've had a report from baidoa in southwest somalia. there seems to be no letup in the flow of people into the city or by door in southwest somalia. they've been displaced by drought and most are hungry and desperate. the few medical facilities run by agencies are full of sick animal noticed children. like most people here more than a limb had to walk more than 10 kilometers to get help for his sick child i don't think we get it. my son is a year old and has been sick for 2 months i had to bring him here for help i have no intention of returning to a village till he's fully recovered. on the outskirts of the city we meet more displaced people who have just arrived. during droughts in the past many lifted too late before moving to sick help but that seems to of changed the must have movement

of people to the cities ha seen a huge rice in the number of pumps for the displaced in by door in 2016 there were just 70 such comments today there are 401 3rd to fly for them with a population of more than 360000 people. that is more than the original inhabitants of the city aid workers say the world has failed to respond adequately and they need more donations to have a mission id be the numbers of those in need keep growing by day and far outstrip the resources we have the donors a trying their best but we never seem to be able to catch up with a growing number of displaced. if you look at the united nations emergency aid coordinator husband visiting by door he says people here need much more than food aid patient development a way solution ideally people would have a chance to go home and rebuild their lives it's not always possible say then is

a question often of land access to services and support where they come to and that in that means there is a need for a supportive discussion from the local authorities some of the displaced told us that also fled the violence of the fight is who also forcing children to join the group this crisis is happening as communities are already struggling to recover from a 2 year long drought and that in 2017 nomadic pastoralism has been a way of life for millions of somalis for centuries but the droughts are threatening that many of the displaced say they now have no farms or hearts to go back to and it's unlikely many of them will every time how about the well just zita baidoa in southwest somalia. sudan's you prime minister abdullah one doc is in south sudan for his 1st official visit since taking power he wants to improve

to see how he can achieve what he terms as his top priority. the armed groups had expressed reservations too and some outright projections of the agreement signed last month that led to the creation of a transitional government in sudan and while they have agreed to talks to end conflicts they see achieving that will not come easy one of those telling us. whether the current government in khartoum. the ability to overcome the constitution the difficult the current political setup has been designed by the the constitutional text in a way that a lot of difficulties for the peace process the voice mostly i'm doc is only starting his job as prime minister but the country has been marred by conflicts and a troubled economy and it seems that he's looking to sudan for the neighbor to help find some solutions for the challenges he faces he will morgan on to 0 juba. and 10
