hooty forces mean vile have reversed their decision to observe their own cease fire instead they claimed they've made significant progress in border fighting against saudi coalition troops as well as against yemeni fighters backed by saudi arabia. thousands of even to be forces have been captured as prisoners others were killed from among the prisoners is a large number of high ranking officers and soldiers of saudi citizenship more than 72 hours from the launch of an operation they have been destroyed imprisoned and captured. a former u.s. diplomat says with both sides intent on winning the war it's been tough for you went on boys and for regional negotiators to end a war that has led to widespread hunger disease and displacement they. are strong on the ground and they have done. it in 2009

in november where the saudis 1st struck against them they went inside saudi border is near that measure on area and they captured both a 100 warder guards then they use them for water so i imagine here after the saudi this big not unconditionally accept the results that they once again want to show. you know are capable of inflicting harm. and then again in flight a prisoner swap peace talks when it doesn't seem as if peace talks will happen any time soon at least mohamed al hunt tommy has reminded the international community this country is still got it by war rosalyn jordan al-jazeera the united nations. well the foreign minister also criticized an ally the united arab emirates for its support of separatists in southern yemen. our army has had to face

myriad direct military attacks in violation of international law these attacks were mounted by immorality air assets these attacks have undermined the stability of our homeland and in this way the immorality aggression has undermined the noble goals of the coalition. well let's get more on this from ibrahim fry has he's a professor of conflict resolution and humanitarian studies at ohio institute and joins me now on set thanks very much for speaking to us this morning this intervention at the u.n. by the yemeni foreign minister he's criticizing iran for certain that he's but he's also criticizing the u.a.e. his side this is who warned it's rather confusing at this stage while he was critical of both baltar's overran for supporting the huth is the hold his who are in control in the northern part of yemen and also the u.a.e. for their supporting servant transitional council that's in the south in aden.

originally and so there have been close allies started all this you know world together. and close allies of the. yemeni government but lately we started to see drifting from this position not supporting the yemeni government but internationally recognized yemeni government but supporting actually support this movement in the south in aden that started to fight. the yemeni government and so this is this change in position actually became very clear in the past few months to the extent that u.a.e. fighter jets actually participated a month ago in the attacks against the yemeni. government there are many people that supported by saudis so while you were. there they are still close allies and

they are working out this war in the amman together but on the question of the yemeni government we see 2 different positions while saudi arabia is supporting the government the international recognized yemeni government that was ousted by the who this is while the u.a.e. is supporting support this movement while the whole of his is fighting everyone ok so was force behind the shift from the from the u.a.e. perspective why are they why are they breaking away from supporting the yemeni the yemeni recognize governments and supporting the separatists generally there are 2 reasons given for this for this shift and for the change in the way position when is the yemeni government is deceived by you eat that that has islamists and a muslim brotherhood that you eat takes a position a hard core position against the muslim brotherhood. with or in yemen or any in any

other parts of the region saw for us perceiving they were given a yemeni government as being a clause that has members of the islamic party in it that has supported u.a.e. to support the support the movement in the south does not seek it that see the site is turning against the government as well then because they're not big fans of the recent brotherhood either that's correct while however actually there are of on the question of yemen saudi arabia has been supporting the u.a.e. the yemeni government because they need them and there are affiliated the sloc part is different parts of the with the yemeni government or in other places but the other theory why the way is supporting the southern transitional council is that because of geopolitics there actually interests interest in the southern part of you haven't we. there is the commercial port in the a member most important that has no control over the region in terms of commission

more of a transaction and all of that so the theory here expires the u.a.e. is primarily interested in the southern part of yemen for business economics security reasons but is not interested or does not care much about the horses and that all of them for that reason. we see the shift in the position of supporting the suppliers kates frightfully complicated. joining us now to syria thank you and i say the state t.v. is reporting the personal bodyguards of king solomon has been shot dead in the city of jeddah major general abdul aziz of is reported to have been killed by friends over a personal to speed the gunman was also shot and killed in a standoff with police after refusing to surrender. at a senior saudi government official has refused to answer questions about the whereabouts of a man believed to be involved in the murder of journalist. adel bear was

interviewed by the us public broadcaster p.b.s. but didn't reveal the whereabouts of saudi attorney look this is asking all these questions he was a close aide to the crown prince where is he now are you should ask the public prosecutor perm the prosecutor won't talk to us. till the english call him again. you know human rights experts are urging surgery arabia to release a female activist imprisoned for 500 days. is being detained on national security grounds she was instrumental in the movement for that fought for the rights of saudi women to drive the u.n. human rights special procedures group says it's shockingly hypocritical that her flu remains in prison for campaigning against the law that rio in riyadh has since changed. so let's head back to one of our top stories and that's the law terrenate

at afghanistan's presidential elections with just over 2000000 voters casting their ballots managed to touch base again with bob but brides and he joins us once more from kabul what we were talking about. it's i was just wondering what sort of mandate does this give the winner if there is a winner from the selection given the numbers are so low. yes certainly i mean that was always going to be the problem with such a low turnout which was predicted by some it's it's it's cast severe doubts on the legitimacy of this election as far as the afghan government is concerned they are framing this as a success as you might expect they are talking this result up and just in some respects that they are true they say that they managed to hold this presidential election across the whole country despite daya warnings given all of the breakdown of peace talks the threats from the taliban there were warnings of a wide scale violence now we did see

a number of attacks but it turned out to be maybe less than 100 or so that was certainly enough to put people off and that's what the afghan government would say that they have been put off by threats from the taliban but i think many people many observers say it would also point to the fact that there was widespread apathy amongst the electorate whether this vote would change things would alter the state of affairs here the corruption that is in demick in the country so there is a lot of disillusionment here and in some respects as you mentioned that now the hard part starts the easier part in some ways was holding a presidential election in one of the most conflict affected countries in the world deciding who becomes president that's where the problems will start because of course we don't get a final result until the 1st week of november unless somebody gets an outright majority of all the 14 candidates that looks highly unlikely we go to a runoff vote where we have more of the same disruption and turmoil and possibly more low turnouts from voters so as people have suggested this could lead to

a new dawn for afghanistan a new way forward to a permanent peace or as some people have predicted it is just more of the same waking and already precarious security situation even worse hello ok rob mcbride live for us in kabul thank you very much indeed. britain's governing conservative party is in manchester for its annual conference its leader prime minister boris johnson is under pressure to resign over corruption allegations for his time as mayor of london well lawrence lee joins us now from that conference in may in manchester lawrence johns on their attack on several fronts what's the mood like there. well i suppose you could say they're trying to you know stay on the front foot and say they've got some momentum but you know think they thought they were really in a complete hole the conservative party at the moment going to every single thing

that's gone wrong for boris johnson since he became prime minister but every single thing has gone wrong for him culminating as you say in allegations of very serious financial impropriety in the police being called in. and so it's not great for them at all that there isn't something in the streets here is because it's going to be several 1000 people protesting 3 months as in the rain through the course of the day but the question really that everybody is asking themselves at the moment is how can boris johnson having been told by parliament that he has to go to the european union by law to seek an extension for the better process how can he simple tenuously say he's going to a baby the law and yet at the same time insist that the u.k. is going to leave the your opinion at the end of october because both those 2 things can't be true at the same time and so there is this general assumption going on that he might be conceiving of a possibility of breaking the law which which could actually end up with him

politically being put in prison and that is the place of the u.k. is now is not found itself in in the process so it is on all fronts a complete mess and a great deal of concern about the direction that boris johnson's government is taking at the moment you know meanwhile with opposition to him continuing to hard to end what is parliament's plan does it have a plan. well yeah i'm bob in there certainly coalescing around one another think a lot of the things that have happened over the last few days in particular boris johnson using extreme islamic free language and parliaments and offending a lot of m.p.'s who have received death threats against them that's i think is having the effects of getting all the opposition groups to coalesce more strongly together because they're so infuriated with what he's doing but the problem is that they're now in this from sick situation trying to 2nd guess his motivations but the 1st question how can it be the law and break the lord the same time and get the you know the you can't the your opinion by the end of october 1 theory this doing the rounds is that he might declare

a state of national emergency. in the middle of october which would allow him to override the parliamentary bill forcing him to seek that extension. if he did that he would be in century because it would signal the government's basically refusing to obey the will of parliaments and when you get a situation where the executive of any country says i just ignore what parliament says is the prime minister going to do what i want them playing you that's a massive insult to any sort of democratic process and ok lawrence lee there joining us from a very rainy manchester thanks very much. now there's a new sprint king on the planet san c.-s. ace more checkered past only world i think championships in cats are let's go to show want to get in our sports studio at the stadium in doha. yes that's right hello his name is christian coleman and he features in our bulletin coming up at 1045 g.m.t.

the americans put drug control we see behind him to win gold in one of the blue ribbon events the men's 100 meters installment home in a sizzling 9.76 seconds we'll hear from the world champion. at a somewhat slower pace those steps to lighten the women's 10000 meters fine long as this compares to make history for her country. and a 43 year old becomes the oldest man to win a medal in any event after a grueling finish on their horse waterfront and we've got men and women uniting in a new event for a world record all that and more coming up as we also look ahead to day 3 of the world championships join us in about 20 minutes from now we're looking forward to joe and i from the heat of qatar to a country that's getting drenched more monsoon rain is on the way for parts of india least $59.00 people have died during days of heavy don't falls which of course flooding relief camps have been set up for thousands of people forced from

their homes reports. entire communities underwater this is what remains of one home in the northern state of utah pradesh to rancho rain proving too much for some buildings now destroyed some say what is almost the biggest problem here is that day by day the water level is rising the water has entered houses as you can see there is. the powerful weather system drenched the state for more than 24 hours affecting close 260-0000 people schools were closed down and thousands of displaced families have been moved to relief camps it's not knowing how long they'll be allowed to stay. and as the rain came down the death toll went up dozens have drowned while others were killed as buildings collapsed relief efforts are under way with authorities trying to drain floodwaters. don't

look down but already we've set up temporary and permanent pumps there's a problem with water logging at 3 or 4 locations the water is being removed by cutting the road and creating channels. flooding isn't uncommon in these areas but the timing is india's monsoon season normally retreats at the start of september intense rainfall in many parts of the country has triggered floods that have swamped huge areas 11 people were killed when flash floods hit western india on those days. the heavy rain can be said to be. the cause of this a large amount of. caused a lot of damage there is the possibility that some people were swept away. as the cleanup continues many are trying to get on with daily life gauge al-jazeera. or in just a few moments we'll have the weather with jenny and she'll tell you all about where the monsoon rain is heading next. and it's been 4 years since

a myanmar cease fire was signs we look at one of the secretive armed groups refusing to join the peace accords. zimbabwe's bones and leader is buried in his home village robert mugabe's family wins the battle over his final resting place. hello there the rains have been relentless this year across most of them on scientifically this time of year begins to withdraw and by that what tends to happen is it begins to push away from the northwest and the rain still continue but they push further towards the south and east and that just hasn't happened yet so this year instead we are just seeing more and more scenes like this just some more pictures here as well from top protests which has been so impacted in the last 24

hours but in actual fact that have been about 3 or 4 days where we've had very very heavy rains and the india met the particles continuing to put out warnings of these red warnings for very heavy amounts of rain but as we go through the next few days as i say there really is no let up so this is showing the rain accumulation as we go through monday actually on into wednesday now the red colors are really indicating where we're going to see the really pick amounts and in actual fact bangladesh is somewhere that is going to see some very heavy amounts of rain a gentle daca could see as much as 540 millimeters in the next 3 days so over half a meter and also across into western india is a drought but again is going to see some very heavy amounts of rain and that is where the palms have got their warnings in place so this is the forecast over the next 24 to 48 hours monday on was into tuesday and as i say and fortunate there really is no letup in these rains and we will continue to see more flooding fairly widespread across much of the country. sponsored town.

undocumented and under attack this is 0 on al-jazeera. this is all just here a quick reminder of the top stories for you know police in hong kong are responding with tear gas rubber bullets and water cannon as antigovernment protesters hold another mass rally and seen what they describe as chinese tyranny several arrests have been made. afghanistan's voter turnout is estimated to be just 2000000 people according to an election official that's just a 5th of registered to the day was marred by taliban violence and technical

problems. and u.k. prime minister boris johnson is facing pressure on several fronts the governing conservative party conference in manchester there are calls for his resignation over corruption allegations from his time as mayor of london. was head back to hong kong members just about half past 6 nights local time sarah clarke joins us again of the protests and violence cooling down with nightfall. it appears to be at the moment we still have a large group of right place and what are called the elite tactical response unit the raptors they're still behind me but they're making now a number of arrests so this is the last spot where we're in front of the government buildings the lives of council buildings and we're right in central hong kong and this is where the rally was meant to end didn't for some of those protesters earlier we had fires behind me we had petrol bombs being trolled we had rounds of tear gas being fired rubber bullets a sponge grenades and pepper spray and in front of us we had the water cannon being

used with blue dye and that's hit a number of protesters who are now blue and as a result they identified those protesters who were on the front line those protesters were throwing bricks and petrol bombs within the government headquarters and that's where the police moved in but certainly behind me where we are now we were at the we were the last of the. lace the protesters have dispersed throughout central hong kong and back into one child which is where this rally on started but for the moment it appears to be cooling down some quite chaotic scenes and dramatic violence between the police and the protesters on sunday ok sarah clarke 1st live in hong kong thank you have all seen has begun in all seriousness that parliamentary election it was called early after former chancellor sebastian cord says sense of right coalition collapse after a corruption scandal court says people's party is facing off against its former coalition partners the far right freedom party ends the center left social

democrats spell out zeros dominic joins us now live from vienna where forcing is underway at dominico usual action this one just reminds us of the backdrop. the backdrop to this is you were saying and in the introduction there the collapse of the government of the center right party the people's party of sebastian cortes on the far right party of the freedom party video emerged in may which appeared to show several very important figures within that part of leaders of the posse engaged in conversations with people who appeared to be russians in which they mentioned how russia might extend its influence over austrian politics the media and that sort of thing before from that precipitated the departure from the government when they left the government a no confidence vote was pushed through parliament and it kicks mr courts out of the chancellorship out of government that is why elections are taking place today

and the question for all the voters coming out is who do they want to endorse who do they see as the next government and how high will that turnout in this election be and so many key just remind us why does this election matter in particular. well the thing to remember here is that austria is one of the 1st western european democracies post-war to have a far right party go into government us might recall that at the turn of the century the freedom party under a different leadership entered the government here in austria because of the just being in government for a 2nd time so the question will be do austrians want to continue that do they want to have the far right in government because across the rest of western europe on that many far right policies prominent in government that's one of the questions but crucially here what is the turnout going to be the last time parliament was

elected and it was very high 80 percent today a sunny day across the entire country perhaps that will encourage voters to go to the polls and how we should get an idea of what they've decided to vote is that is in the next 6 or 7 hours ok dominic kane life is empty and i thank you. serious separte prime minister has used this address at the un general assembly to demand the immediate withdrawal of all american and turkish forces while leads them said his country is open to international dialogue but not at the expense of its national integrity or diplomatic answer james bays has more from the u.n. . syria's deputy prime minister walid muallem again representing his country at the u.n. general assembly hit out at 2 nato members for their military presence in syria. and with the what do the united states in turkey maintain an illegal military

presence inside northern syria they have been so arrogant to the point of holding discussions and reaching agreements on the creation of a so-called safe zone inside syria as if they were planning to establish the zone on american or turkish soil the u.n. believes this is an important moment for syria after 8 and a half years of war at the end of october 150 delegates comprised of 3 groups nominated by the assad government the opposition and representing civil society will meet here at u.n. headquarters in geneva under these terms of reference the committee will come up with a new constitution for syria the authority for the new committee is a u.n. security council resolution from 2015 it also calls for a free and fair elections something that hasn't happened in the country since half as an aside the current president bashar is father sees power in the 1970 s. can you guarantee to us now will be as that resolution says free and fair elections

can i guarantee you that this will take place you know both as a writer stated this is part of my mandate it's very clear to stamp that stated and it's also in for national consensus that's the perfect place some diplomats on the u.n. security council are extremely cynical about the u.s. . regime's decision to support the constitutional committee at this stage they believe that their main focus is still the military operation in a blip and they're trying to keep the constitutional committee busy until they can declare a military victory james bows out jazeera the united nations. we are now says it wants rangar refugees in bangladesh to return home it's been 2 years since security forces launched a violent crackdown on more than 700000 mostly muslim rangar in iraq and states they are most envoy to the un general assembly any repair actually must happen

under certain conditions as a president displeased butanol in khaki bizarre who had been regine in the kind of different legal status. we are willing to repatriate them in accordance with the by little agreement signed between him and bangladesh agreement calls for the issuance of identity cards to the journey. and staying with me and maher has been almost 4 years since the nationwide cease fire agreement was signed between the government and ethnic rebel groups but there's still no sign of lasting peace some groups are refusing to sign the documents including what's regarded as the stages largest non-state army it controls an isolated region on the borders with china and thailand where hey takes a rare look at the secretive wa state. in the far east of me and is a defacto independent territory it's run by the country's largest rebel army which

unilaterally declared it a state it's largely cut off from the outside world in particular the rest of me and their women there right now why is still a wild frontier people who live here have id cuts only for the state we can travel outside of. the united states army controls to areas on the borders with thailand and china this state is run under a one party communist system it's heavily reliant on chinese support in the form of trade investment and in the near future thanks to a new casino possibly tourism. when i 1st moved here there was only jungle everywhere but now it's more developed in the past it was very poor and 5 behind but it's getting better. there was signed a bilateral ceasefire deal with the me and my army in 1909 and haven't been directly involved in any significant fighting since they're largely left to run their own affairs and still maintain a well organized and well resourced fighting force of up to $30000.00 now about

having under pressure to join the governments nationwide cease fire agreement which like many other ethnic armies are refusing to do they say they're not prepared to meet one of the key conditions of that deal which is for this soldiers to lay down their weapons and join the me and my military the are also fiercely protective of their income streams like jade mining and the illegal wildlife trade many products like tiger and bear teeth are sold openly in the state capital punk come the united states army is also thought to be one of the region's largest manufacturers of illegal drugs a business that says it's no longer in but there are many who believe those who run the syria are still stuck in the past and until they open up life will not improve for you i'm in philadelphia i want want to continue to develop i want to see more people move through here which will improve trade in business in the past 2 or 3

years it's been very bad i can make a so much. why state serves as a reminder of how fragmented me and mar is while the syria may be at peace for now it's the people that continue to pay the price of civil war through isolation i do like of developments wayne hay al-jazeera. and the 36 people have been killed and dozens more injured when a bus and truck crashed in eastern china it happens on an expressway just north of shanghai in johnston province in the szell investigations suggest the bus had a flat tire just before the accident. the former egyptian government contractor whose online videos helped spark recent protests has called for rallies to be stepped up and held every day police have been on the streets for 2 fridays in a row this month protesting against president abdullah fertel as sisi demonstrators accuse him of corruption and destroying the economy most of them solo today

god willing i heard there is a game but then after the game we should go to the streets for one hour and we will protest outside our homes if we see that there is a large number of protesters we should keep going on with them if we see police stop and go back home we should exhaust c.c. and so police forces on like were just think every day. meanwhile process has been taking place outside the egyptian embassy in khartoum to demand the release of a sit in a student detained in cairo well that her son is accused of taking part in the recent anti-government demonstrations and of belonging to the outlawed muslim brotherhood his family says the 22 year old was tortured and forced to make a false confession on state television. the trial of sudan's former president omar al bashir has been delayed until next saturday after a brief court hearing share is facing charges of corruption including illegal
