9:02 pm
dead were nasty and insulting but later trump described a man here in mcallen france as helpful in fighting eisel on diplomatic editor james bays begins our coverage. it's supposed to be nato's 70th birthday but there's no celebration instead an atmosphere of disagreement and division with the u.s. president who once called the alliance obsolete now saying he fears that france might leave nato and i heard president. braider i think it's very sobering to a lot of different. when you make a statement like that is very very very nasty statement to essentially 20. 1 of the countries those comments were particularly pointed as president trump's next public meeting was with the french president there were uncomfortable moments
9:03 pm
when they were asked about european countries including france not taking back their nationals no prisoners in syria having fought for eisel. would. you. say when you were. there in october i discovered that mom and i just i mean from. the rich. food. for advice coming from europe and. all of this you have to be number one for the mom of the 4 and 5 this is fine really. you know one more like you this is the. this is where where there is more of. a trouble disagreements are not the only ones at this summit the french leader attacked turkey because of its recent incursion targeting the could see in northern
9:04 pm
syria. this can be part of the. move to. they now are fighting against those who fight with. turkey's president later met with his u.k. host prime minister johnson as well as president barack raul and the german chancellor merkel he's threatening to block nato has plans to protect poland and the baltic states unless others agree with him on syria james is outside buckingham palace where queen elizabeth is currently hosting the nato leaders at a reception at her london residence that might be quite tense amongst the cab kana pay is set tonight after all those divisions on show during the day. real divisions here as most of the nato leaders 28 are inside buckingham palace by our count and the last one president trump has been having tea with prince charles is making his
9:05 pm
way to buckingham palace in fact moments from now you're going to see the motorcade come behind me let me just get out of the shot for you lauren for a moment so you can see that motorcade we have not just one division between president trump and president macro we've got president trying to get all the others when it comes to nato budgets and how much people pay and linking that with global trade there you can see the limousine of the u.s. president going past us but you also have other divisions president ergo on against the rest with regard to his policy on syria you have not quite as remarked upon but a division going on between chancellor merkel and president macro about europe's role in nato i'm told by a very senior figure that those discussions within those 2 a much tenser than the media is really reporting at this stage and remember this is
9:06 pm
all taking place in the u.k. at a time when a general election is taking place and after breaks ignore those tensions as well so the state of nato right now really is a multi dimensional mess and given all that james what can they do about something as serious as syria that you mentioned there. well i think they've had a meeting a 4 way meeting with the turks the u.k. the french and the germans in downing street they're sort of trying to patch over the differences but i don't think they're going to find a way to solve the differences they are most of the members of this alliance of unhappy with turkey's incursion in northern syria they're also unhappy with turkey's coziness with russia by russian missile systems but it's i think they fear that if turkey was to leave the nato annoyance then you're going to have a situation where it's possible it will go into the arms of russia with regard to
9:07 pm
syria clearly we're in the end game of this war and there is a lot still to discuss even though assad has come out on top the u.n. is trying to have talks about a new constitution talks about a possible election and clearly the key areas of leverage with regard to syria are those huge numbers of refugees and how they should come back to syria where when and if they should come back to syria and also the the key leverage against the russians and the assad regime is rebuilding syria who's going to pay for it james bays thank you very much indeed but just to watching those are not pictures there of the arrivals at buckingham palace there. the president of the u.s. and his wife arriving in central london at the queen's holding reception for all the members of nato a seeming. well just as he arrives there president and his wife and their protests against the nato leaders meeting has been following them as an indian what what what are the protesters
9:08 pm
upset about what are they they're for. well lauren there are several 100 at least protesters here on the mouth in the run up to buckingham palace some of the most vocal are actually could issue a probe could as protesters denouncing president do on particularly over his actions in northeast syria you heard jamie just talking about the role of its control controversial actions recently as a crucial nato member but other groups here including kept the campaign against nuclear disarmament so it will coalition best saying that donald trump is dangerous and he's militarism but symbolically the protests here have been led by a group of doctors and nurses who work for britain's public health system the n.h.s. and the protesters here bringing the message that they fear in a future trade deal between president trump and. boris johnson if he'd retains
9:09 pm
power that the us would be able to insist that american drug companies could charge higher prices to the n.h.s. full medication through for example extending patents now beyond that there are people in johnson's cabinet who have been aligned with groups who've in the past actually advocated for the privatization of hospitals and the likes they say that that's nothing to do with their manifesto right now president chomp on tuesday himself at a press conference said that even if the us $100.00 the n.h.s. on a silver platter they wouldn't be interested but just this summer he make comments exactly contradicting that saying that everything would be on the table in trade talks and clearly the protesters here do echo a certain skepticism amongst the population who rank the n.h.s. now as the number one issue going into the election even ahead of brecht's it thank you very much. well more from london later limbert in for another but to fully into
9:10 pm
lauren thank you very much for that let's turn our attention now to other world news and saudi arabia's king has invited qatar's emir to attend the annual summit of gulf states in riyadh next week the g.c.c. summit is scheduled to take place on december 10th sound arabia bahrain and the united arab emirates along with egypt imposed an air land and sea blockade of qatar in june 2017 the 3 boycotting gulf states have sent their football teams however to play in the ongoing arabian gulf cup here in doha deciding to take part at the last minute this invitation to the summit comes as the 2 sides face off at the international court of justice in the hague the u.a.e. saudi arabia egypt 10 bahrain closed their airspace to qatar national airline qatar airways qatar says airspace restrictions violate international law doha has made a number of complaints to the court after the gulf states simple as a blockade china has more on the hearings from the hague. day 2 of the proceedings

9:12 pm
make such a decision they're saying that by doing so i cause political politicizing that international civil aviation body however what many analysts are saying is contradictory in that is that the 4 blockading countries themselves in their statements that they've been making have been using political arguments to justify why they've taken that decision there will be further hearings on thursday and friday thursday will see the blockading countries once again give some more statements on friday qatar will respond to that when exactly real here our final decision from the i.c.j. we're not quite sure however it does operate at a slow pace and it could take a few weeks if not maybe more than a month. amnesty international says more than 4000000 yemenis living with disabilities lack access to basic care the rise group says disabled people are most at risk because of the war between who of the rebels and the u.n. recognize government which is backed by a saudi u.a.e. coalition victoria gate and the reports. 5 years of fighting in yemen has killed at

9:19 pm
of fuel prolonging power outages and large scale living life stock losses let's speak to evolve our country director for save the children she joins us live from zimbabwe's capital harare thank you so much even for being with us i understand that women and children are bearing the brunt of this crisis tell us how they are affected on a daily basis just how bad is the situation. so the situation is like in say 550 people are affected and 2200000 people in the towns and cities so this is 7000000 this is half of some bubba's population so that just points to the scale of the problem in the rural areas families are having to lay tough choices in the cases of children for instance they have to make a choice about whether the check whether the children stay bucketful men do chores and fight find other means of livelihoods or go to school in the areas families
9:20 pm
have got to decide on you know what kind of meal they will have for the day because families and open areas and rural areas so most insists instances sometimes can only afford one meal a day they also have to decide on the composition of that meal so you will find that when crushes them strained and when income is constrained as it is they will resort to buy mainly the cheaper the cheaper types of food so that's also having an effect on nutrition and as you know the nutrition for children that are below 5 you know when that is affected that that affects their stunting in effect right potential for the rest of their for the rest of their for the rest of their growth period what would tell us more about the long term effects on you know the food crisis on these children and what impact has it having on them short term but also long term. the short term impact of course is
9:21 pm
a very you know just not having i'd equate you know something i quit you know to to nourish them you know so we're having instances of children that are 2 years 2 years old but if you look at them they look like they're under you know one year or one year old because they're not getting adequate nutrition but going then you know all along you know all the children the school going age you find that children are now beginning to not go to school because they have to walk long distances to go to school and if they have to do that on an on an empty stomach then t.l.e. there's motivation to sometimes stay behind and it's now being estimated that at least 17 percent of children in the rural rural areas have dropped out of school we can't say for sure that all these 17 percent is because of the food insecurity situation and one that he says will need to be done about that but in the school administration they've suddenly noticed that since the onset of the of the food
9:22 pm
situation there's been a gradually dropping out of school of children yeah the crisis is being described as manmade and w.s.p. the while food program is saying there are plans to more than double the number of people it house to more than 4000000 will race be sufficient though how are organizations like yours like save the children going to tackle this crisis. it's a tough one because there's just so many moving pieces and so many things that are that are working to make the situation even whilst so of course there's the nature on one about you know. we have thinking. you know change is what's you know making this this types of droughts in zimbabwe. and with more severe but then other than you know the natural situations is the very real mike micro economic problems in the country there is shortage of physical caution
9:23 pm
question itself there is very high unemployment because over time there's been very loyal investment in the country so unemployment has gone down right now because of the drought the water levels of course a low and then so electricity is also a shortage there. the salaries to civil servants have been eroded by inflation and because of that there's been. a just a shallower undressed. so for instance ok over the last 2 weeks in the health sector the governments the government doctors have been pressing for more pay and hung up and yes sorry we're going to have to leave it there unfortunately thank you so much for giving us a really nice picture there what's happening in zimbabwe not a nice picture but a comprehensive one set me on the situation in zimbabwe have on our own gaff from

9:26 pm
peace for the people the authorities insist some protesters were armed and were firing at security services. behind me into the rights are where the hostile groups were hiding in shooting at the police but thank god their own forces vigilantly came to the fields and foiled their plot. it's still unclear how many people were killed amnesty international say it's more than $200.00 a figure the government rejects so. i can tell you that the numbers and figures given by hostile groups about the deaths in iran's recent protests a shia lies real statistics are seriously different from what they are now it's and numbers a far less than what they climbed. but united states president donald trump had his own figures. a rare hearing perhaps thousands and thousands of people right now as we speak that's where they've got
