today it's a new future but can mobile phones really be the seat of change it's just putting things because it's already pulled people together to live out silicon savannah on al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. color from doha for when i'm come all sons of a ria and this is the news hour from al-jazeera dozens of people survive a plane crash in kazakhstan with rescue as a braving icy conditions to search the wreckage also in the news the u.n. warns almost a quarter of a 1000000 people have fled the violence in northwest syria in just 2 weeks. pulling together why communities in lebanon say they rely on each other not the government's to survive. and we're

looking at the human cost of 5 years of war in yemen. and i'm lee harding with the sports news it's high noon in the n.b.a. with a texas showdown between the dallas mavericks and the san antonio spurs as sharpshooter look at don chips comes back with a bang. so we're starting in kazakhstan where an airliner has crashed shortly after takeoff killing 12 people and injuring dozens of others on board the back jet came down the almighty airport smashing through a wall before having a house rescuers have worked in freezing temperatures to reach the survivors we'll start with this report from alexia brown. emergency crews calm the wreckage of the airliner torn in half the main body of the becket barely recognizable its ria

resting in a field the flight had just taken off from the airport bound for the capital now so tom survivors say passengers screamed as the plane started shaking then tilted a full smashing into a concrete faints and slamming into a 2 story house raisky was worked in subzero temperatures to save dozens of injured including 8 children president kasim caiaphas formed a government commission and says anyone responsible for the crash will be in his words severely punished he's also declared a day of national mourning on saturday because the plane itself is so rugged and well built that they are in very high demand and it's very difficult to get a good for 100 to die. and their life seems to go on because they are if they will mine time and they've got a very long structure a lot the government ordered the airline to ground its fleet of dutch built jets which are more than 20 years old all back air flights have been suspended until

crash investigators can work out how this happened alexia brian al jazeera. alexandra go through it with us now from moscow for more so that report tells us a lot about what happened anything more coming out about why it happened. it is still early hours to determine exactly why it happened they do have 2 preliminary general world versions one is that it was pilots error and the other is that it's about technical malfunction they still versions have been voiced put forward to by the romans who is a member of the government committee formed for this very purpose purpose to investigated this incident and he's also vice president of gaza then he said that they noticed the commission and the forensics noticed skid marks on the runway 2 of

them which are 3 to 400 meters apart that is telling them at this stage that the tail of the plane hit the runway twice in the attempts to gain delta to it or to take off from from the runway there however not excluding pilots error the company that cared which this plane belonged to says that the pilot was an experienced person that he was a great pilot and they did not want to comment on any technique possible technical malfunction but call for us to wait for the end of the investigation right the fact that we have survivors in a major plane crash is actually quite something and i guess that will be important going forward to hear some of what they have witnessed. yes of course that doesn't happen regularly that there is survivors from from a plane crash and we read some of what some of them had to say about this is that

also in the videos that were published by some of them that it was really scary and that was that was shaking and that also does impact the plane basically split on 2 and that they were trying to get out of there damn selves but they did feel this shaking and then kind of a slanting right side some of them say and it was all happening in the early hours of the morning and like it was it was pitch dark and they were trying to get out of this plane i believe that their best to monies to the investigative committee will be of of what will be very valuable and anything more from the airline itself aleksandra beck air this is not an airline i suspect many of our viewers will be will be familiar with now back air is the 2nd largest. airplane operator in kazakhstan when it comes to domestic flights now they have some $800.00 planes in their fleet

a they have some 14 that's the nations they were however since 2000 in the period of 2009 to 2016 on e.u. airliners list probably due to their safety record or due to the way they were technically servicing their planes so they're only flying domestically and business the nation from the to the capital of kazakhstan is most popular one and now their planes are grounded by the ministry of infrastructure and industry until the investigation of their means what exactly happened and apart from condolences to the families and saying that the pilot was an experienced one they did not comment anything further on this specific accident but rather called to see what the investigation will say. all the latest on the cars like a crash with alexandra go through it in moscow thank you 2 other news and more

antigovernment protests planned across iraq because the political crisis only deepens demonstrations erupted on thursday as president said he'd rather resign the name assad down the as leader here is dosage of barry in baghdad for us on the surface brings up the political side of things 1st of all. while we are waiting for a response from parliament they really are at a loss as to what to do constitutionally this is a 1st for iraq and their constitution isn't really quick to handle this kind of situation the president has said that he's not willing to go forward a nominee the names that have been put to him by the ruling coalition party that is out but parliament and that their candidates that they've put forth have not been acceptable to the people in the last one was on wednesday that is the governor of bashar who was nominated and the president said that he is not willing to do that because there was such strong opposition on the streets across the country to that

nomination that the governor is known to be quite close to iranian backed groups within the parliament and he's also been accused of corruption in his own province so the president said he's left with no choice but to resign if they don't nominate somebody that is acceptable to everybody now the parliament is trying to figure out what to do with this letter from the president constitutionally but it's very unlikely that they will actually accept their resignation from him now meanwhile the people on the streets we've been speaking to say that they are welcoming the president's move because it shows that they do have the president support when it comes to their demands and one of them being that they want to be able to have a prime minister who is independent of all these political parties that are currently in parliament we spoke to some people in tahrir square on friday let's hear some of what they had to say and that it we want to honor as prime minister and the pend. we want to generate iraqi official if you are paid to relate to us

someone who doesn't have any loyalty to others and unless or until they get that type of leader i suspect there's no reason to think the protests will ease up. certainly the demonstrations continue and there is no sign that they will stop their demands are quite specific no there has been some good news for the demonstrators on tuesday there was an electoral law that was passed for the 1st time in parliament after weeks of debating and back and forth this electoral law talks about the upcoming elections in the country that independent candidates are now eligible to run they no longer need to be affiliated with any political parties it was quite a huge victory for them strangers but the issue of the prime minister who is the highest figure in government he will be that he will be the commander in chief of the armed forces as well is still. within the parliaments hands at the

demonstrators have said that they want to change their system from a parliamentary one to a presidential one where they will be able to choose their own leaders rather than the parties within government electing them so for the time being we're seeing this constitutional crisis continue and it's just deepening each step that we go forward without any clear resolution in sight still such a part of the latest from baghdad thank you also a runaway ship in turkey has closed one of the world's busiest waterways. and it's motorists watched as that freighter ran aground in istanbul engine failures being blamed for the misfire mishap in the bosphorus the famous narrow strait which reopened when the ship was towed for repair. israel's leader benjamin netanyahu has thanked his the could posse members and promised to lead them to election victory after fending off a leadership challenge rival gideon saw to convince members that it was time for

a change but the stuck with netanyahu despite his indictment for corruption with this report from west to resume. for the 1st time in 5 years likud members had the chance to elect someone other than benjamin netanyahu as their leader on thursday they chose him again solidifying his nickname as the magician because of his ability to pull off victory after victory netanyahu campaigned heavily to beat his challenger former interior and education minister gideon sar so there's no need to this is the time to unite to bring a sweeping victory to the liquid and the right to the knesset elections most of the people support the right and most of the people support me to lead a government but the final decision in the primaries the final and sweeping primaries decision was a huge expression of trust in my way and alway even though netanyahu is the 1st

sitting prime minister to be indicted on corruption charges his popularity has remained steady among his right wing base a feeling. sars that pics of sitting on the bench and not trying to do anything active in in the public fields is wrong i prefer people who take action. source pitch to voters is that netanyahu failed to form a government twice why would he be able to reach a different outcome a 3rd time he warned maintaining the status quo could mean likud loses power in national elections in march. sars supporters cited concerns over the corruption charges trailing netanyahu charges he calls a politically motivated witchhunt the sar camp has also alleged. election meddling and voter intimidation but there's a feeling of decay in that the most risky from within the party generally in

israel israel is in the midst of an unprecedented political crisis netanyahu has until january 1st to ask the knesset to grant him immunity he'll need a 61 majority vote he was unable to get that same number of seats to form a government in the last 2 elections and on tuesday the supreme court is expected to rule if an indicted sitting prime minister is allowed to form a government natasha going to el does iran west jerusalem. like to kill hoffman a little bit earlier he's the chief political correspondent for the jerusalem post who told us many is right he is a suffering from election fatigue which may hurt stefano his chances in the next vote there are plenty of names and now supporters would agree with his policies and even agree with him when he calls the charges against him a which hunt who won't end up voting 'd for him for one simple reason these

indictments could force him to step down at one time or another and people are sick and tired of having elections after elections after elections so if they are concerned that netanyahu would be brought down by the indictments or decided a certain point he has been focused on his trial and not about running the country they might decide to vote for someone else just because they're putting stability 1st there has been a verdict that it knesset member or a cabinet minister cannot sit after an indictment there is no such ruling about a prime minister's we've never had a prime minister indicted on office before and so that's going to be up to the supreme court to decide and they could make such a decision and it's now is to get the support of $61.00 knesset members and then we'll have what would be called a constitutional crisis in a country with no constitution. more than 235000 people have fled the violence in northwest syria in just the past 2 weeks according to the united nations the been weeks of artillery bombardment and as strikes on the last rebel

held province of adlib u.s. president obama trampas asked the syrian government and its russian and iranian allies to stop the bloodshed let's talk to mohammed joining us from the upper tier in turkey mohammed 235 a quarter of a 1000000 people basically in 2 weeks what happens to them where do they go. welcome almost all of these people have. this fled their homes heading to cities such as set out a kid been couplet all of the province others have gone to government held areas of aleppo province but the laws the majority of them and from the areas where this city and the forces have been were most of their hogs that is. about the man and dick city that sits on the m 5 which assad's

forces are really keen to take from the rebels they have most of them come to the turkish border and the thought is that not allowing any of the city and for years to cause all the on the comps are also sule so they are mostly in the open setting up make shift comes you know depending on turkish charities giving them warm food but they do not have representatives shown or water or any other amenities wherever they have set up but come so is there any prospect in a moment of the bombardment and the shelling to actually stop i mean donald trump saying it needs to stop i'm sure plenty of others are as well but we've also been talking about this last rebel held area for so long it's hard to see that the government stopping now. no that's all because what is us take for us. is really huge here 1st of all they're very keen to

take the city of mud out to no money because that is where their old boss is and they want to be opened to ensure. a lead poor serious the largest city is the link in terms of transportation and trade to the cup it will so for them that is really vital but also they have been for a long time wanting to take every last inch of territory under rebel control and full for them this has been the beginning but. turkey and other countries have been asking for a cease fire with the turkish presidency issuing a statement saying they have asked russia to arrange some sort of ceasefire so that the humanitarian situation does not plan into a catastrophe but again russia itself is to deplete involved very keen to help its ally take my territory possible from that i will so it doesn't look like it's going

to stop there any sort of formal process still in place but when i think about ending the entire conflict where are we actually with all those sides that you talk about as far as some sort of full resolution or is that just not on the cards. well been the peace talks been going on but the they have been in. limbo for a while they haven't heard any proper peace talks. for a long time and then in august is when dot. militarized zone came into the discussions on came into being something russian. leaders as well as the iranian. and syria agreed a pawn but that now is in touch with the current off and it's in the middle of winter there are so many people out in the open without any help reaching them so.

they are consarn start this could turn into a real humanitarian crisis ok mohamad thank you for all that from in turkey. let's have a look at what's coming up for you on this news hour there is a heavy police presence in india. over its controversial citizenship law also looking at why japan is sending a warship and patrol planes to the middle east and russia hits back at the world anti doping agency following it's a limp dick band leader who has the details in sport a little later. in an hour which has been without a government for 2 months political deadlock is not rare in the country but it comes at a critical time with the economy near collapse and lebanese people now relying on themselves to survive the crisis which has been described as the worst in decades

in the father has this report now from barrett's at least 7 people a day are depending on the generosity of one woman to eat it to their bottle expects that number to rise as lebanon's economy continues to collapse her bakery is offering free bread to the poor don't leave your family hungry is what this fine reads this is one of many initiatives by lebanese who are trying to help each other as at the day a young girl asked me if she could buy half a sandwich for the 500 lebanese pounds she had that struck me i realized how people are desperate and hungry my daughters told me why don't you help people and that is what i'm doing now poverty is on the rise and so is the unemployment lebanon has been without a government for weeks politicians are bargaining over power instead of implementing much needed reforms to unlock billions of dollars in foreign aid. the dire economic situation is the result of bad economic policies of previous governments their

policies failed there's been a lot of corruption in they've stolen money from the states the economic crisis isn't you it's been building up there are now more cases of lebanese becoming homeless because like. they no longer can afford rent she brought her. to this square in central beirut where opponents of the political class have been converging for more than 2 months and their attempt to get rid of the political elite and i used to have a house but now my whole family 8 girls and 4 boys including my son in law live here but regardless of this bad situation i feel good because of the care and love i got from people before the uprising i never had this much supports this spontaneous and leaderless protest movement was triggered by government attempts to impose more taxes they now call it a revolution lebanese from across the sectarian divide came together to call for change but this newfound unity is not complete these concrete slabs are

a symbol of the deep divide not just among the nation's politicians but society as well security forces set up these barricades after supporters of the mainly sectarian parties attacked the anti-establishment protesters the barriers make it harder to access the square but they do little to bridge differences indications are this is only the start of what is likely to be a prolonged crisis. now in yemen the who launched a ballistic missile targeting a military camp near the yemeni border this is in the area. claimed the attacks killed several border guards and injured many more this would be the 1st time that an attack since september that's the one where they claimed responsibility for a strike that crippled oil facility in saudi arabia. protests is a march through the indian capital new delhi to protest a controversial new citizenship law which critics say is anti muslim protesters was

today 1st of all what is it been like today has there been tension on the border. 1st of all good afternoon to you all of you today we are celebrating the 68th friday which is the blood of the matter is behaving the way for the freedom and also in the meantime we took yesterday this is in. this conference. from all the members of the national committee of the masses of breaking the sage that we declared to all. all over the world i mean that the. marches of the 10 will be not suspended not canceled it's going to be called the fight had to leave it will kick. start the. start again on the what you call them

in the 31 of my. diversity of the. day of the land in the meantime the 2nd 34 of the marches of the 10 throw this period we are going to take workshops we're going to conduct. sort of the restructuring developing the lands and all developing the comic is for the new start the new phase of this the 2nd year of the marches relative. we. said in those 68 i think you said 68 weeks of protests yes what do you feel has been achieved in that time because we've obviously seen a lot of violence we've seen injuries and deaths as well if you're taking a break now what was achieved in those $68.00 weeks. yeah i could say that we achieved a lot. because. we defined the strategy goals tactical

goals from the tactical goals of the breaking the siege we managed to. throw the attention of the international committee of the and to throw the book the brush out and there's the info to be some sort of changes have been like if there's if you like travelling. some sort of. allowing them to get treatment and then in time from bullet to kill the images of it then on the breaking news this is the seeds has the road that tension of international community for the that that if you jesus has the right for you to put it in this file is totally dismissed from them their logs of their political process what's the killer because there's no it's them to be. the children the old that is the women's the kids knowing that they have the right of return and this is the sense of the palestinian issue. second thing that to internationalize this it has been taking the from the human

rights and the describing what happens in the demolition turns here out of that it's like a criminal would throw the israeli army. at the start of who are looking for to feed them looking for liberation and looking photogen as well. yeah let me just interrupt you just for one second while you're talking about politics what sort of hope do you actually have for negotiations because israel's politics is in flux at the moment they don't know if prime minister netanyahu is going to stay in power how do you negotiate when there's still so much uncertainty. i mean i you know we are looking at it with evidence and you know it's going to still going to be. out of the political scene it's not a little blood lot of problems that we have a right we need to bring all the attention of the all over the world

a scene of suffering suffering been suffering leading a miserable life because of the oppression and because of that division as well so that means that. we could say that all the factions and the palestinian groups the civil communities all united together under one table. all agree that the right of return is what a great issue and now we believe that continue we continue with the of this peaceful. what so called peace for the 10. but you know the time is going to be. continue with the both of our life as well we need to manage to as i told you that to draw the attention of all. muslims community is that ability now to still after 70 years of. from their country origin and country are still sort of i. still believe that they have a right to it then oh is this. is this still enthusiasm said amongst

the palestinian people to keep going i come back to the fact that they have protested every week they have come up against israeli fire coming across the border people still want to go out and protest. i mean what the weather has been. stand to be very obvious through the years to be able to out of the monitoring what's happening is that i really. did look at the state of this claim. just an enemy killing kids only because they are. announcing their position so that means that what they're novel ordinariness in which had been. 'd a lot of work being good inducted all over that they were the victims now they're victimized killing the victim and this is a great achievement if you can say that the image and 'd the image of this that i

really grooves now is become of this even these it's so clear they're just they are the criminals and they are killing believe it only because they want to say that we are just people. after 70 years from the age of this not but yes. there is a spokesman for the great march of return in gaza thank you for your time. japan is sending a warship and reconnaissance aircraft to the gulf to protect its oil imports the deployment follows last week's visit to tokyo by iran's president 90 percent of japan's crude oil imports from the gulf arab countries iran though denies any links to several recent attacks on oil tankers one of them which was operated by a japanese company jeff kingston professor of asian studies at temple university in tokyo told us japan's prime minister shinzo lobby is trying to balance out various interests. he's in an awkward position he's trying to thread the needle he's got

basically 3 audiences he's addressing one is the trump administration that asked to join the coalition the other is president rouhani and iran is keen to maintain good relations and the 3rd audience is domestic aves keen to revise the constitution and remove the pacifist article so. calling this intelligence gathering not joining the u.s. coalition is meant to play k. trump to avoid the accusation of being a free rider but not undermine iranian relations and not cause domestic backlash because there's deep money at the security alliance with the united states and only about 3537 percent of people support the dispatch vessels to the mideast clearly pay and skin in the game last june when they was busy in

tehran the recent attack on a japanese vessel so there is clearly japanese interests involved but they don't want to clash they want to avoid that because clearly the priority for us in this next diet session in 2020 is to get his fellow politicians to endorse a revision of the past constitution. meanwhile 3 of america's biggest rivals have started joint naval exercises near the gulf iran is hosting 4 days of warship drills with china and russia in the gulf of oman that is of course the entry point to the strait of hormuz which carries much of the world's oil imports iran denies involvement in recent attacks on gulf oil tankers i think i don't mean by the fact that we are now hosting russia and china means that our relations have reached a significant point and god willing it will have global outputs and its message is peace and friendship in the light

a few knitted and responsible collective corporation. we heard from graham on the web a little bit earlier he is a research fellow at the u.s. roger up and school of international studies in singapore he says the drills and the significance they may appear. in this case i think we shouldn't set our expectations too high or this is really more a case of window dressing where 3 navies are coming together to put on a shawl for 40 minutes. mind you are in the previous iteration of how disk size or support they are it will cost you for spending 10 minutes beginning when it's an important design on tuesday so it will get down to 4 days clearly into operability issues between different military systems the iranians are buying more chinese and russian that's holmes but. sources will tell you that there are inherent limitations and integrating right now is just going to have peace in your exercise for $48.00 it's

a case of military signaling to the front ministration nothing more but i think we should see what's going to happen in 2020 whether there really are more exercises and more integration and what we should. in montenegro a new law on church property rights has provoked a fight in parliament. but. police had to intervene when protests serb politicians trying to prevent him peace from vote offices wearing gas masks then detained 22 people though most were released when things calm down the law was eventually passed the government denying it will strip the serbian orthodox church of its property including medieval mana streets. the number of people killed in the philippines by typhoon fun for now has risen to $2812.00 others are missing after 120 kilometer per hour winds left a trail of destruction in some our province on wed and stay internet and phone lines are still down ferries and flights canceled stranding thousands of travelers

at the peak of the christmas holiday season but libya's foreign minister says mexico is making a mistake by taking its espionage complaint to the international court of justice bolivia still denies spying on the mexican embassy in the past and intimidating diplomats the fallout have followed mexico giving asylum to believe his former president even more obvious after he resigned in november during weeks of protests over his reelection if you're not received but i don't believe the mexican government would risk bringing a lawsuit before the international court for something i don't believe even happened it would be rejected immediately i think i'll retract the decision because noise police forces in to any diplomatic premises violated the vienna convention on diplomatic relations. well rob lowe is in mexico city for us with more on the diplomatic spat between mexico and bolivia. there's been

a friction between bolivia and mexico for about a month now since the start of bolivia's interim government and of course it was mexico that was the 1st country to offer political asylum to former bolivian leader evill mortalities what's going on now is a sort of war of words that's building up tensions that are building up between diplomats between authorities in both nations on one end you have the libyan officials saying that mexico is harboring criminals is harboring terrorists that mexico's embassy in the bolivian capital mexico saying that what they're doing is pollute providing political asylum to 9 individuals 2 of which are former ministers that serve under the leadership of president ebel mortalities and the latest that we've heard on thursday is mexico appealing to the international court of justice the i.c.j. and the united nations to help mediate this ongoing dispute the last that we heard from mexican president on this one a little bit without order is for cooler heads to prevail saying that he hopes that

common sense will prevail as the student dispute drags on diplomatic ties between the 2 countries. still still exist we don't know if that's going to continue to be the case as i mention this war of words that's as collating the last that we heard from bill libyan officials today was from former president hadi who weighed in he's been recently appointed as a special delegate to represent bolivia to the international community he called the mexican president a quote coward a bully and a shameless apologist for drug traffickers these are very strong words strong allegations from both sides from both bolivia and and from mexican officials as we said was named a special delegate before the international community we still don't know of a date set by the international court of justice but in the meantime the sort of tension between the 2 nations continues to grow and the allegations from the mexican side is that there is harassment that there is an increased police presence we can even confirm that on thursday there were at least 50 police units and 10

vehicles parked outside of mexico's embassy. well anti-government protests have gripped georgia for the past 6 weeks with thousands of people demanding constitutional change parliamentary elections are set for next year and now one banking mogul has decided to take on the government organ foresty walka has more. of a hand in rural community most successful banking citigroup's the opening of a new hotel and the terrorists it's a soon adventure. politics is now cash as it had says main business i sort of jot this summer because it adds it launched his political party. in the black sea but the site of his ambitious 2 and a half $1000000000.00 deep sea port but the ports future is in question georgia's government has delayed its support and has an adze and a business partner of fighting

a separate fraud investigation accused of laundering nearly $70000000.00 through their bank t b c. presidency has entered politics to fight back courting voters and challenging the government on prime time t.v. in live there is a certain line of which you don't want to cross. children are made to deal with them or change not only for you but change qantas future so that's why i just decided to leave business. the government party says has it i'd say has to answer for the missing millions when you are under investigation and you aren't just creating. a political party you have tour say something or at least hate. about what happened. this is my book i said i would say stream to make a success of this country the way to make

a success of this business and this is just another oligarch making is a case of history repeating itself. there are there were. even a really entered politics promising to rescue georgia from poverty and a power hungry elite one landslide elections in 2012 the i was at odds it dislikes the comparison and start the ball myself it's a bold those people who are joining level the young. people they are easy to spot into which is frequent anti-government demonstrations just a bold idea and idea is georgia and i think we we have a big chance to change this country to make it very successful. maybe a banker who knows how to build a business but it's not clear yet how many. used to

have the wedding 1st he will come and i just hear a ticket for the transport around france remains limited by what is now the longest transit strike in decades the protests over pension reform are now into the 23rd day with no sign of it ending up to 80 percent of train services have been cancelled peris the national rail operators says it's already lost more than $420000000.00 as a result talks between unions and the government going to resume until a new here. well actions of come and gone across the european union 2019 but for germany 20 twentieth's that to be the year that political parties regroup and look ahead to the election for chancellor and 2021 for the social democrats that means figuring out how they can regain the relevance they once commanded when it came brings us this report. there was a time when the social democrats dominated german politics those days are long gone

now they are just junior partners in government dominated by the christian democrats and fewer than one in 6 germans votes for this people's party which is why they espied a recently elected new leaders driven by a more left wing hue of politics and a deep dislike of the coalition with anglo american the smart underspin scepters us it's what i was and i am skeptical about the future of this grand coalition i haven't changed my mind about that but with this resolution we give the coalition a realistic chance of continuing not more not less. in 2019 the party lost votes in every election it contested and fell behind both the greens and the far right alternative for germany in the polls which explains why many of the grassroots are in despair they've got targets police. we need to continue to develop a vision because ours is the only party that works through visions and emotions how

much mitt said that those who have visions should go to the doctor and i would say don't contradict how much mitt go to the doctor and convince the doctor the nurses and everyone sitting in the waiting room so this party shines as it deserves to carrying the future in its heart. some say this is not just a german phenomenon but across europe social democracy is in retreat and that's why there is this kind of feeling in germany that a lot of things are changing around people don't see the kind of stewardship the kind of political leadership you all you know. take take the bull by the horns and got into the right direction so i think what is with the need to do in the next year and a half is to come up with the idea where germany will be in 10 or 15 years' time but it's now almost 15 years since an escapade a leader was in charge of government here and with the polls suggesting the party is struggling to reach just 15 percent it seems that few voters want to give the

social democrats the keys to this building any time soon dominant cain al-jazeera at the german chancellor we're going to turn our attention to yemen now almost 5 years of war in that country which has created what the united nations has called the world's worst humanitarian crisis more with victoria. in march 2015 saudi arabia and 9 other countries launched a military campaign in yemen in support of the internationally recognized president abit rebel mansel heidi and against iranian backed the rebels he 6 months earlier had taken control of the capital sana'a. after nearly 5 years of war the saudi u.a.e. coalition has not defeated the heat these and aid agencies say the human cost of the fighting has been enormous across all of the human tragedy and situation is only getting worse even the violence is decreasing but you know it's not your

a lot of pressure aguero does that especially as separately to see the habs for reasons that just work up a lot more than we expected the plan is to get the 2 warring sides together for a new talks in the hope 2020 will be the year they finally accept what the u.n. has been saying for years that there. the conflict in yemen.
