go to is that more 'd the hundreds of groups we will walk around to do so than the saying that the needs of. the truth even when. so that we can make sure that no one isn't quickly i don't think we'll be here down the way just like. yes talking you can even see didn't 1 want to invent didn't get fully in the. particular checking points in both their monthly lives fearing the newbies the avenue is not to be as the every city. has a city in alleys not in you learn and they were willing to leave this area and you will not stop to see what develops the number of people lost. it is a bit of a i'm in

a committed. quite a bit out there but i thank. goodness for the ready. apologies we've lost our connection with our producer county in beni they always updating us on the situation benny right again protesters tried to storm a u.n. compound earlier today but were stopped by a company security forces now the united nations has been trying to sabotage democratic republic of congo for the last 20 years its mission known as miniscule has more than 18000 personnel and is a 3rd largest peacekeeping operation in the world more than 100 on course i believe to operate in the d.r. c. raiding villages and running illegal mines the allied democratic forces or a.d.f. is one of the most well known groups formed by ugandan rebels more than 2 decades ago it's accused of many atrocities the question vogel is a researcher at the university of kent that is

a former un expert on the congo he says the united nations faces a range of challenges in the region generally in very area we have both been able outbreaks coinciding with massacres attacks that are ongoing since the 14 and while those attacks have been mostly attribute it to ugandan armed group called the a.d.f. with me different actors operating in that area that have also been identified for day involvement into that violence so when we hear about so-called my militia we need to be aware that those are like one or 2 dozen of very different groups and some sometimes that are my my eyes even used by civilian demonstrators and protesters as well. now we've also seen is a very massive medical to be true to venture dress able which is actually left local populations in doubt over the so-called international community's dedication to also fight the violence with the same energy and moreover the militarization of

the medical response in parts as falling trees distrust in an area where government troops and sometimes even peacekeepers are not always seen as positive forces by everyone. in other world news a u.s. president does restoring tyreese on steel and aluminum imports from argentina and brazil donald trump made the announcement on twitter saying that the 2 countries have been presiding over a massive devaluation of their currencies which is not good for our farmers therefore effective immediately we store the time and all steel and aluminum that is shipped into the u.s. from those countries. the reaction from argentina and spiteri i suppose in buenos aires for us both argentina and brazil have had a good relationship with donald trump to resell what's their reaction to this announcement of tears. well the main reaction right now here is that stock market currencies are falling because of donald trump's announcement and it adds up to the uncertainty what we're hearing from brazil is

from the main steel industry there they're saying that they're per plex that they're saying that they're talking also about retaliation and they say that brazil has not been devaluating its currency on purpose donald trump said on one of its 2 week that the devaluation in brazil and in argentina is hurting farmers in the united states and that's why he's taking measures so it's not clear yet why he's making this decision as you just said the relations between especially towards fernando and donald trump where very very close it may not right now in latin america also the relationship between donald trump and nobody so might be the current president of argentina they have been very close so it's not clear yet why this is happening some say that it might have to do with the relations that currently exist between argentina brazil and china they have been selling commodities soybeans and we come on the other agricultural product and the other

reason why this might be ongoing right now is because donald trump is also talking to his electoral base i mean there's apparently. prices of metal have dropped in recent months this is hurting factories they're laying off workers and this is one of the reasons why donald trump may be taking this decision right now so what impact will these tires time on a country like argentina to restart which is currently struggling with an economic crisis. argentina is struggling with an economic crisis and today's announcement adds up to the uncertainty that we're seeing in this country right now not totally double digit inflation close to between 50 and 60 percent 50 year currency controls lots of instability so this just adds up to whatever is going to happen next argentina is going to square in a new precedent in about one week about a perfect he warned october's presidential elections and the relationship between

current president trump were crucial in times of crisis mostly because it was trumped that help argentina get the largest loan emergency loan in the i.m.f. history helping this country and that now or will have to struggle in order to pay there's going to be a change in government and it's not clear yet how that relationship is going to change how about the man this is going to be dealing or coping with the united states and with donald trump but certainly this announcement the once again imposing tariffs on argentine products will certainly add up to the current troubles that argentina is seeing right now thank you very much for that terry suborn live for us in buenos aires. in syria government at least 14 civilians in rebel held in lead province 2 busy markets were targeted and there are reports of more strikes in the area victoria gates be has details. but

the attacks are intensifying and they are indiscriminate i believe. a lot of the syrian army backed by russian add power targeted this market in an area controlled by fighters from hyatt. and with family to al qaeda witnesses say civilians are the majority of the casualties. out of here assad's warplanes carried out a right against this market civilians have been killed and injured the right also caused a lot of damage to property the civil defense teams are recovering bodies and helping the wounded we still don't know how many people have been killed. the s trikes in the north west in provence and to minor russian guaranteed ceasefire that's been in place since august towns targeted. and sorry kid pulled along the m 5 highway that connects the provincial capitals of hamma and

aleppo before the war it was a major trade route and the main access road to the north. we were working and all of a sudden warplanes were in the sky and they attacked us of our people have lost their lives and others have been wounded in addition our fruits and vegetables have been destroyed. the increase in attacks is worsening the humanitarian crisis in northern syria but the government seems determined to retake this final piece of territory that still under the control of opposition fighters victoria gate and be out there . in libya an air strike has killed at least 5 people in the capital tripoli a jet targeted a neighborhood in southern tripoli on sunday military sources say the attack was carried out by forces led to the warlord highly for have talks journalists were the only ones to get access to the side of the strike our reporter was at the scene and he told us it's not the 1st time civilians have come under attack. this is the area

in southern tripoli where a number of innocent civilians including women and children were killed and wondered why they were strikes launched by a fighter jet loyal to the world plea for help that on sunday these are parts of the rockets that targeted this area and neighbors here tell us horror stories about bloody parts of the victims that they picked from this area on sunday they say that school children were just coming back from school and they were just playing here before the airstrike killed them they say that the shrapnel killed other innocent civilians in the 2nd floor again they've been thought i'd feel right one of the victims was a girl sleeping on the 2nd floor when shrapnel killed her innocent children like angels were playing here even a displaced child he was the only son for his widowed mother. now the neighbors

here are wondering why this area is being targeted despite the fact that it's not a front line and it is far from the front line neighbors here are in a state of anger and a state of panic people here at least those who we spoke to or are still in shock and the are calling on the international community to intervene and to protect civilians and also to sanction those whole carried out the attack this is not the 1st time it initial areas being targeted by have to forces since he launched the military campaign to seize to really back in april and that tripoli because the government of national accord is accusing have to forces of committing war crimes by targeting residential areas and killing and wounding innocent civilians.

and 2 more ahead on this news hour including some oh i shuts down its government then orders sofitel contain a new source outbreak that's going to more than 50 people plus a mentor told us they have a hut in northern china and the fact is part of the power of solid beery a pipeline about to bring billions of cubic meters of gas grown russia to china and it's a project as much about politics as economics. and the any lakers have a major mannix down more with me against the. typhoon come henri is strengthening and making its way towards the southeastern philippines are warnings of severe flooding in 3 provinces operations at the manila international airport will be temporarily suspended starting on tuesday. and has more we are here in iowa by where it's i think the more he has made landfall

it is hard to assess whether we are already bearing the brunt or the worst has yet to come for the people of the beagle region we were in the room trying to rest outside sounded exactly like this like a war zone and somehow inside everything was still holding up until it didn't water started to go and we had to evacuate our rooms and stay here we are at the back part of the hotel a safer place and earlier today. we saw how the military rushed to evacuate as many people as possible to safety. it's going to take a few hours according to weather experts before the situation die down but we're already seeing water flooding everywhere. government officials have been warning of landslides. and storm surges. thousands have already been evacuated.

at this point so we have no choice but to stay here for a few hours and try. and wait for the situation to settle down before we can see and assess the devastation of by pulling the mauri ha meteorologist rob mccallum he has been following the course of the storm and he has more on what we can expect. there's a significant typhoon bearing cross the middle of the philippines you can see the i develop it 1st hit the island of summer here at the bottom edge of the hour but it's quite a distinct shape as you can see category street and probably lose some of its energy goes further west woods that means gusts around about the 20240 kilometers per hour mark that is moving fairly quickly west which i don't think that's the nigga negate the damage because the winds really are quite strong as the progress over the next 24 to 36 hours eventually to go off into the south china sea and we

can just buy forget about it but it's 24 hours worth of thunderstorms strong winds and briefly at least the start quite a storm surge that will be a problem in the east i think further west this is eventually matter right for a $2.00 to $350.00 millimeters even up the eastern side off into zone but as i say 21 hours and we can just see what it's done. some of his prime minister is shutting down the government and ordering staff to help deal with us spiraling measles outbreak so far at least 53 people have died in the pacific islands most of them young children as many as 100 people are falling every day at the mall has been scrambling to control this outbreak for weeks now it began in october and spread quickly in a country with no vaccination rates by mid november more than 1000 cases have been confirmed in the government dictate a state of emergency all schools were closed and anyone under the age of 17 was banned from public gathering in gatherings including church services similar as

government also made vaccinations compulsory for everyone as well as a hagen is a medical officer of the world have organization regional office for the western pacific he says the safest and most effective way to tackle the current measles outbreak the truth is that vaccines are some of the safest interventions that we have access to measles vaccine alone has prevented over 21000000 deaths since 2000 . the deaths of that did occur couple years ago were extremely tragic because they were preventable errors do occur but it was not a problem with the vaccine it was a that was it was an unfortunate error in administration people who are under vaccinated are people who live in. situations where they don't have access to that scene they live in conflict areas they may be part of marginalized populations that don't have the same access to services. and so those and so the fact that these pockets of people who are not immune as been growing over time in some populations

leads to this sort of a tinderbox situation and once that the disease introduced it's place resume rapidly and unfortunately to spreading across the world and that leads to a lot of exportations through international travel which affects small countries like somalia another day of protests is getting underway in malta for more or less crossover european broadcast sentance. fairly thank you yes the family of a murdered the maltese journalists are calling for prime minister joseph muscat to step down immediately to allow a full investigation into that this protests are continuing in the capital valetta after most get announced his resignation on sunday but said that he will stay on until january for with placement to be chosen he's facing mounting pressure over the government's handling of that nick had a while as 2 years ago most cats chief of staff resigned after being arrested over

the case and the prominent businessman new york and fenech was charged with complicity in the murder he denies the charge to life jimmy's barker now in valletta and specifically outside the parliament buildings there with that protest right behind you need i guess if the prime minister joseph muscat thought that by announcing his potential resignation in january the process we're going to die down well that isn't what seems to have happened. it only seems to inflame tensions. some extraordinary scenes in the last hour or so on the part of a building here in central we saw a very large crowd surrounding the building why well because inside members of the ruling labor party ministers simulate a policy of be meeting there for some time they have been trapped inside we gather from those in the. leading ministers possibly even the outgoing prime minister himself have been able to slip out of the back door through a tunnel all of these protesters insist that they will continue to put pressure

on to step down immediately they say that he has to do it now because he continues to be embroiled and closely associated with the leading ministers within his cabinet who now be implicated not only in corruption but in murder the murder of dr nick carr went to 2017 we're now joined by her son andrew andrew of course the. it's being seen by some as something of a turning point when it comes to finding justice for your mother how are you reading what's happening here and what letter. this is this is the 1st time in 2 years that of a lot of any hope that this would be a real turning point for the country 2 years ago we hope that my mother's assassination would be enough for people to realize that organized crime had taken office in this country but it wasn't an off it's a lesson about the power of propaganda and now it's those doubts in people's minds

people who knew instinctively that my mother had been murdered by someone very powerful in government in this country who for 2 years confused and who were led to believe that it was low level criminals these are smugglers spies started was done to destabilize the government but now we know the other truth is the government itself was involved in my mother's assassination why then in the last few weeks has there been this sudden flurry of activity why over the past 2 years has there not be much progress at all why now do you think this is the 1st time that there's concrete evidence linking the prime minister's she for staff to to my mother's assassination we know now that the prime minister staff was in contact with a businessman who has just been charged for my mother's assassination he was in contact with him a few hours before he tried to flee the island on his yacht. we also know that the prime minister's chief of staff was trying to pass messages to this businessman

even after he had been arrested trying to encourage the businessman to pin the blame for my mother's assassination on a fellow member of the cabinet and they were in a situation where joseph says that he will step down he'll step down on january the 12th why are these protests still happening why are people still dissatisfied with what's going on jurors of a scarred says that he was planning to resign anyway. obviously a slap in the face to people are angry that he himself mind to have known the artists chief of staff commissioned my mother's assassination it's sickening to thing that our own prime minister mind have had a hand in this and it's up for him to believe that people can stay calm knowing this knowing well they know the prime minister can be allowed to arrange his own exit from government he cannot be allowed to leave on his own terms he needs to be pushed out of office immediately and if people within his own party won't do it for

us then the people of this country need to do all they can. only currently your confederate could be one of his wealthiest man the businessman has been charged in connection to the murder of your mother the 3 leading ministers politicians have faced police questioning but have been released without charge how confident are you and the family that the leadership here in malta was directly linked to the murder of your mother. there's no other explanation. there's no absolutely no dearth of explanation why is the prime minister's chief of staff trying to have the businessman escape justice if his not implicated him so when you see these protests going next very quickly. it depends on the prime minister's reaction if he resigns and people can finally begin to celebrate it. thank you very much for joining us well as you heard there there is a real. demonstration you can hear them calling here because they've been listening

to it's going to be a real saying that the prime minister should not be allowed to dictate the terms of his own exit and you do get the strong sense that people will be out to demonstrate to make sure that he steps down as quickly as possible and that means now. barker. for the moment thank you. russia one of the world's largest exporters of natural gas is launching a major pipeline from siberia to china it'll be about 3000 kilometers long connecting 2 fields in eastern siberia to china's border the pipeline is expected to be fully operational in 2025 and will supply certain 1000000000 cubic meters of gas every year russia describes it as the world's biggest construction project running across frigid mountainous areas of siberia andrew thomas reports now from china's the northern border with russia. life is tough along

china's border with siberia it's minus 12 degrees celsius there's not much industry not many jobs most around here use coal to cook and their homes. burning coal it's obviously very dirty it's polluting and also a lot of physical work but 2 big infrastructure projects are bringing change 1st is this bridge opening next year it crosses the a more river frozen at the moment the river divide russia and china the bridge will link the cities of blago vesture nest and her. i'm walking on the coast trucking of the bridge i feel proud when i tell friends are one of the contributors. but it's the 2nd project that is the most significant this is one of the most remote parts of china and just a kilometer or 2 over there is one of the most remote parts of russia and now

linking that so is this pipeline it's an economic projects of course but it's all about politics to the power of siberia a pipeline is about to deliver gas from russia to cities across china it's cost 55000000000 dollars and on the russian side stretches more than 3000 kilometers the pipeline through china will eventually reach shanghai almost 3000 kilometers to the south but china it means well priced energy that's relatively clean but your lair for the other then for heating natural gas can be used to generate power is much better than oil and coal it has much less pollution and if you were emissions of c o 2 for russia the project is unlikely to make much money as the only feasible customer for gas from russia eastern fields china bargained hard. russia was keen because it

is facing resistance to its plans to export more gas to europe some european countries and the united states have tried to block development of a new pipeline to germany they think it will leave europe too dependent on russian gas so russia wants to shore up its strategic ally to the east but china to more russian gas means less reliance on liquefied natural gas shipments from the united states and middle eastern countries potentially implemented by u.s. policy the pipeline then is a strategic link as much as one about money to thomas al-jazeera her in northern china the international court of justice in the netherlands is holding public hearings on an appeal by the gulf nations who are blockading qatar since june 2017 saudi arabia the u.a.e. egypt and bahrain have closed their airspace the catheter aircraft now they want to overturn a 2017 decision from the international civil aviation organization which will

6 months of its flotation now this is important because they have a lot of retail investors which are small investors who are putting their money into the market possibly for the 1st time taking out huge loans to take a big bet on this particular company and after 6 months if they keep their their money in saudi aramco they will get extra shares and the hope is that a non fall atar market would encourage them to keep their money in in the saudi aramco and so the saudis of very keen to make sure that this flotation is exorcise they don't want to have to put their hands in their own pockets that it's using their state funds to stop mopping up to buy excess excess shares the whole idea of trying to sell aramco was to make sure that there was additional new money coming into the economy so that they could spend that money elsewhere. venezuelan migrants
