aaron for a briefing on the u.s. military strike and whatever overstocked it may carry. the old the evil. as iran's president promises accountability the judiciary announces the 1st arrests in the downing of a ukrainian airliner. you're watching al-jazeera live from doha with me for the back to bore also coming up no breakthrough at talks in russia on a permanent ceasefire in libya and now reports of a buildup of forces loyal to warlord 25 target. the u.s. removes china from its list of kerensky manipulate is ahead of the signing of

a deal this week to end their trade war. and the threat of what's called a volcanic tsunami scientists in the philippines call for the total evacuation of nearly a 1000000 people. thank you very much for joining us we're getting reports from iran of several arrests in connection with the downing of a ukrainian airliner speaking a short while ago iran's president hassan rouhani said all those responsible will be punished but he also said no single person could be blamed for what is called an unforgivable era 176 people were killed when the military mistakenly shot down the passenger jet last wednesday that speaks to our correspondent in tehran. president rouhani says everyone responsible for the shooting down of the ukrainian fane will be held accountable and already some arrests have been made what more do we know.

well the judiciary spokes person same as mine he has been speaking this morning and he said that some arrests have been made in relation to that ukrainian airplane crash now the fallout of this crash is continuing president rouhani has been speaking this morning and he seemed quite subdued he expressed condolences to the victims of the plane crash and he said that he tried very hard to shorten the time the investigation when he found out the reasons for the crash that people should be made aware of it he said that the armed forces were very cooperative he said that it's a very painful and unacceptable mistake that's happened and officials to let the iranian public know straight away now he's again repeating the lies that the government will pursue this case that people should be held responsible and prosecuted if necessary now he said that the judiciary should form a tribunal with

a independent judge to investigate this case but he also said that this isn't the fault of just one person who operated the air defense system that there are many issues involved but he also said that ultimately it's the united states that's responsible for the heightened level of tension again referring to the u.s. president donald trump and his threat to target $52.00 sites but he said that isn't an excuse for the military and other people not to pay attention in this country is that it was a positive step that the armed forces have taken responsibility and that is really a very much a watershed moment in this country because people are not used to the military and state institutions taking responsibility and accepting that they are wrong so many iranians have been very angry about the way the government has handled this crisis any of any and journalists as well as very unhappy with the way the government has dealt with this. yes in a very unprecedented move the association of journalists of protect

a statement now we're not used to hearing journalists within iran being very defiant like they have been with this statement that they've said that they're holding a funeral of public trust like a metaphoric statement they made but they said that state t.v. print media and online media they consider it to be dead they said that the association says that. it's not missiles and the military that put society in danger is the lack of free media and journalists that hold the government and political establishment and statesman to account now this again is from the fallout of this missile strike many of these journalists were put under pressure by state institutions to protect the official line that a missile did not take down the ukrainian airline so they put out these lines on state media and online and print media that they feel that they have lost credibility and they're pushing back and what they've said is that they will now

ignore any previous limitations red lines. which they consider sometimes come from the military and sometimes from the supreme national security council and this saying that they've lost credibility and this is very much a pushback from them their credibility has been lost and people in iran are angry want to count ability and they want justice and these journeys feel that they cannot no longer do they can't no longer do their jobs if they are faced with such restrictions and the need to win back public trust thank you for that. for a same tehran. now to libya where there are reports of a buildup of forces loyal to warlord tiny for have to are in the south of the capital tripoli that's hours after a cease fire talks in moscow ended without a breakthrough libyan prime minister. and only for have to 'd renegade general have both left russia's capital they didn't meet face to face during monday's talks had

been hopes that both sides would sign a deal formalizing a fine job truce brokered by russia and turkey that came into effect on sunday suraj signed the agreement but have time left moscow without doing so said lawson joins us live from moscow step things didn't go as planned in moscow one of the russians saying. you know things didn't go as planned here in moscow and everyone is actually quite tight lipped about the have to a sudden departure we only got a very brief statement by a minister sergey lavrov the minister of foreign affairs who was on a visit to. the finnish to talk see immediately flew to israel and can what he said was there's no definite outcome of negotiations. on monday sorry but we continue to work on this track so basically what he is suggesting is that the deal is not completely off and that is still a possibility dead it will continue and that something also dead another source

told me earlier today that it's on hold as he described it and he also suggested that half that is going to consult with the united arab emirates for us another important supporter of. that it's maybe too early dan to say that this departure a sudden departure of after and not signing the agreement is an embarrassment for president putin who has been working very hard in the last week to make this deal happen he was in istanbul he was talking to a president earlier one day brokered ceasefire agreement together then he was on the phone with all the parties involved in the complicated situation in libya with the united arab emirates with qatar and he had a meeting with the german chancellor under market mount machall on saturday so everything came together on this in this meeting yesterday here in moscow with all the parties involved france and they had long talks and of course it's

a disappointment to do for a moscow to realize that one of the important parties just left very suddenly a disappointment i imagine there's another meeting on libya's conflict in berlin on sunday's step how much hope is there that they could still be a deal that. well that's a very good question of course this ceasefire and it's better to say truth agreement that both parties for trying to sign here was of course a precondition to have this international conference on libya because how are you going to talk about peace when the fighting still continues but i have to point out something else that's very interesting it's also been alleged that the whole peace agreement the whole seeds fire negotiations that president putin held earlier on were not only about libya but also about syria but at the same time what is being to jested here is there does hold ceasefire agreement it's one big package between the 2 conflicts where turkey and russia are having

a very big say so it's now all very questionable not only what's happening in libya but also what's happening in syria where this cease fire agreement was also come into effect at the exactly the same time on sunday morning a few days ago thank you very much for the moment is our correspondent in moscow let's get an update on the situation on the ground in libya now and speak to a mom or dad who was in tripoli tell us about what's been happening and what were you hearing about these reports of a troop buildup by have tossed forces near tripoli. years fully and all also violations that's according to the spokes man of the operation volcano of wrath that's the counteroffensive launch and by the government of national accord he stated that they documented several violations by have to his forces overnight and he also reported that one pro-government fighter was killed by

a sniper by have forces over night in one of the axes in southern tripoli meanwhile the same military sources with the government they have been stating that they have documented deployment and regrouping also repositioning in civil axes by have to his forces it seems that the trust to be built between the rival factions it's a tough task it's still it still needs needs a long time and effort but meanwhile the government military sources say that the fact that they have accepted a cease fire does not mean that they are surrendering in fact they say that the are ready to repel any possible attack by. forces meanwhile the head of the council machete is there one or a little heading the delegation in moscow he stated last night that the fact that

have has not signed the peace cease fire accord means that he is the one derailing the peace talks ali thank you very much for that they've had live forests in tripoli. and other world news the u.s. is removing china from a list of countries it accuses of currency manipulation in ousmane comes just days before the 1st stage of a trade deal is due to be signed u.s. president donald trump has long accused china of keeping the yuan at low levels alan fischer is in washington with more on the story. go back 4 years donald trump when he was campaigning to become president said that in this 1st year in the white house he would clear china to be a currency manipulator well he eventually got round to just 5 months ago now it really was a symbolic gesture it didn't really have much impact it could have opened china up to greater scrutiny from the international monetary fund but it didn't really

happen this was at the height of donald trump's trade war you'll remember he imposed talents or in billions of dollars worth of chinese goods he said that china was pouring billions of dollars in fees into the u.s. treasury in fact if you look at a report that came out just last week it said that 100 percent of the cost of tattersall's being borne by american families $1.00 survey said american families were about $800.00 a year watch saw so this sure is that things between china and the united states are getting better in the markets have responded well to that it's up again in the united states at the close of business on monday so it seems as if things are improving but there is criticism of donald trump not surprisingly it comes from the democrats chuck schumer is the leader of the democrats in the senate he said look china is still a currency manipulator the united states shouldn't be taking that tab away and it

says we're giving away a lot and not getting a lot in return calling into question whether or not donald trump really is the great negotiator that he says he is. still ahead on al-jazeera france and 5 african states agreed to unite their forces under a joint command as armed groups step up attacks in the region thus driven to suicide the hidden mental health crisis affecting refugees say in europe. the at. hello get welcome back to international weather forecast for the big story here across europe is the storm coming in off the atlantic now today as well as tomorrow going to be seeing some very gusty winds for parts of scotland as well as down here across parts of south western and southern england now the winds will be very

anti french sentiment in the region or we spoke to some protesters in paul who gathered just before the summit began and they said that they believed the french troops should withdraw. france is there to protect french interests not to protect africans or their interests and this was also fermat omar a lot about responding to french public pressure because more people in france have been questioning exactly why france is involved in a region that is so dangerous. south sudan's warring factions of agree to a ceasefire from wednesday after talks in rome opposition leaders and representatives from president salva kiir the government say they've signed a deal to stop the violence fighting has calmed since a 2800 peace deal but there's so frequent outbreaks tens of thousands of people have been killed since the civil war began in 2013 just 2 years after south sudan gained independence. ovaries in the philippines have called for the evacuation of

subsidized always from venezuela angered many here who did that were. we asked for a clean slate because we want everybody to go they stole money from petrograd e bay and built themselves next to the beach but nothing for us the un says that the terror rating economic conditions including low growth high inflation and an increase in the cost of basic food items have had a negative impact on the humanitarian situation millions are going hungry. there is no investment in the public sector. there is no listening to the private sector so we are in a situation of total fracture of the economy and this effect is situational for actioning we need to work on a national reorganization and this can not be done with juvenile moisi because he has shown his incapacity to rule. the organization of american states and members of the international community saying they're

negotiating with all political parties to prevent chaos in the country. but there are many who claim the international community has prevented real political change because it has supported a political class that has been unable to resolve the serious conditions haitians face every day. and port au prince malawi's anti-corruption body has promised to investigate bribery claims which some say helped the president win a 2nd term paid him with a recount won the election in may under a cloud of controversy with opponents accusing his supporters of voter fraud opposition leaders alleged accounting forms were tampered with and petition the top court to cancel the results. nasser says a smoke from bushfires in eastern australia has risen into the stratosphere and will eventually stretch around the globe to reach the west of the country satellite images show the haze drifting over chile and argentina 11000 kilometers from the

isn't going well. for the 1st time i saw them i felt fear a full face is full of anger i could see them thinking that i was safe from my house why we suffering might receive the medical the lot of the section i used to keep my daughter's bicycle outside but one of them tried to take it they've got to know if they don't understand anything. the other day the villages met and told the police they were feeling unprotected and said they were thinking about themselves with guns against the refugees. obviously everyone has to do something and if we don't have a weapon we'll find something else. other hotel they know all about this but it's not the main problem there's a mental health crisis to contend with. the same took us to the place where a few days ago an afghan man who'd been wrongly told his wife and children had been

moved somewhere else without him hanged himself from a tree the next day hussein's friend riyadh hanged himself inside the hotel his entire family had been killed in iraq he complained his severe depression was being ignored his funeral wasn't quite so well attended as the one in the village had enough at that moment he told them what had happened to his family they gave me an injection and he was like a robot 20 came back he was saying every day i'm not ok i'm not ok and they did nothing for him. over the last few months the incoming center right greek government has scaled back medical and psychiatric support for refugees to prove to an increasingly hostile public that it's on this side here they can bandage that feet but not their minds a lot of people are struggling not only about mental health care and also when they need an operation a follow up after operations x.

rays seems like this for hours it's much more difficult to find a place where the people get treatment the sad truth is that the story of moria's is in microcosm a reflection of how europe has failed to get on top of refugee resettlement and to heal people even in hospitable greece these 2 groups of people a world suppose lawrence the al-jazeera morris will increase. program for the battle with the headlines on al-jazeera we're getting reports from iran of several people being arrested in connection with the downing of a ukrainian airliner speaking a short while ago iran's president hassan rouhani said all those responsible will be punished and libya forces loyal to warlord heidi for have to are reported to be building up south of the capital tripoli cease fire talks in russia on monday ended without agreements prime minister sharon warlord to highly for have to have now
