al-jazeera bringing you the news and current affairs that matter tease. out is that . 'd this is al-jazeera. the whole room when you're watching the al-jazeera news our live my headquarters here in doha coming up in the next 60 minutes. on explosion rocks the agent international airport in yemen just as members of the new government land in the city. also u.k. regulators greenlight the oxford astra zeneca vaccine in a move the health minister says could provide a path out of the pandemic. also jubilation and relief in argentina as the senate

nothing to do with it. let's join my mother who is our correspondent in the ebony capital sun i what more do we know about what seems to have happened in the circumstances around the blast. yes. according to my speak on sources on the ground the media people there witnessed that the fall down or of 3 missiles from outside of their ports so the the number of people have been killed and also others injured as a as a result of the attacks the head of the parliament has called on the government all the members of the government to to come to aid in order to to send a strong i suppose to do so try to sabotage the riyadh's agreement that this

agreement would be implemented on the ground and that the government would return back despite of these attacks the government's poor people or the members of the government who are of to aid in has been have been or transferred to a safe place also the via the minister of minister of information mummery any blame the whole thing is while here the the whole of these have condemned such on the plants but according to experts our observers they blame the they say that the. parents of the told that they know who was who wants to keep the situation as their wants to continue its control of aden and also the cost to lie in a occur along with the trade of their wages which is an important. pathway for a fuel ships so the v.a. we couldn't turn now figure out who is responsible behind these attacks and

what is the masseurs that the wants of. cutting in a number one more than one occasion the government try to return back to aden but several attacks on confrontations have taken place hopefully this last agreement which has been course just a. stricken by all the parties all would be implemented on the ground in order to put an end to the political vacuum in an area in aden and also in yemen mother tab in the capital summer thanks very much for the update well let's take a closer look at the emmons government it was sworn in just a few days ago by president of the rebel muscle handy as part of a power sharing deal brokered by saudi arabia in 2019 and headed by the prime minister in the maliks say that the new government represents yemen's northern and southern areas with equal numbers of members that each region its formation is the result of a compromise between the united arab emirates emirates back separatists in the

south transitional council and the saudi backed loyalists of present huddy now it's meant to end military clashes between those parties so they can fight as allies against the hoofy rebel movement well it is an associate professor of conflict resolution at the doha institute and the author of unfinished revolutions yemen libya and tunisia after the arab spring joins me now via skype from doha good to have you with us on the program sir i mean this was a very well timed and coordinated attack on will worry the saudi backed cabinet members that were arriving back in yemen. yes for sure but i think this explosion sends a better song in fact a new unity government that has been recent that long after one me at almost won me at a post all along all the part of this in order to come up with this. government unity government that's the present that they've all part of this political parties in

yemen in order to bring an end to the road. divisions from within the south. and also. there's a lot against the whole it is but then without ivan this happens and i think this is an additional resident that the challenges that is c.b.s. the challenges are enormous and that unity government will have to deal with see those challenges on the ground. and no matter what know what the who stands behind this explosion i think that is a huge security breach has happened now with this. yes there was get let me just get in the atmosphere because really what happened at the airport is a metaphor for what's going on in yemen at the moment the apple to suppose to be one of the most secure areas in yemen if you can't protect the airport and the surrounding vicinity what hope for the rest of the country because they were even from what we saw initially so many people on the tarmac there you wouldn't expect

to see so many members it seems of the general public. yeah that's correct that. now we still debating the accusations out of nowhere who stands behind this was that it's that who it is who definitely benefit from this explosion well actually the. southern transitional council that's backed by then i think that a bit minutes that's also could be behind it. because simply they are in control all the security situation in yemen and it won't be easy or. there might be when it what i can use some members of and will be willing door handle but security but this is no government and also let's not forget that there are other players and there you have that on the ice is some guy that there are all sort of sort of players and in the south and they then. again we got this with all of this is so

well with it when it came from i think it's since at the present a very serious challenge that the new government. what to expect in the coming days and with them this is going to stop the government or not i think that for now i think the government will be continuing that cabinets the minutes those are in my sheet ballast i made them and i think there would be to depose all the say that he's at the moment to denying any involvement in this but what will president how these next move be because the strategy surely is to try and find an end to the conflicts be it in the hands you might say of the saudis at the moment to a sort of controlling the area. if this government is successful is a bill in particular to deal with the security issue ain't it and is able to pull. being quoted out of the aid and your mind all the minute and it's because of the oh yeah by demon is that this autumn and all the different factions and in big

a thing would then or will it managing with the. ministry of defense and the ministry of interior out of all this and all government if this is successful this present a very c.v.s. challenge to that will it is and the north because. one might wonder reason why that what this could be i guess is that they wanted to mint damned. situation and then that's why and then he has them bring order. and security and all it so if this government is a bit door restore order that it begins successful reconstruction of process in the south and unite all of them in it then factions i think this will was a very serious challenge to the hope it's all but all could be could be have no way of putting a mag a mountain bump in the future but for now i think we need to watch carefully about

that i always say is that success is not in simon get 3 months the success is implemented to go segments and here we go that's the best john mitchell is. from the doe hines to you thanks for joining us. thank you. now the battle against virus has taken another leap forward after health regulators in the u.k. approved the vaccine developed by oxford university scientists and pharmaceutical company astra zeneca is the 3rd vaccine to be approved in the west and joins those manufactured by pfizer biotech and maternal russia and china are also distributing shots but have not completed mass testing the oxford astra zeneca vaccine has some advantages over the other 2 it's much cheaper to buy and could be kept in a regular fridge unlike the fires a shot which requires ultra cold storage and even as the approval was being

announced in the united kingdom orders for tens of millions of doses were confirmed by both taiwan and indonesia as many as 3000000000 doses are expected to be produced worldwide by the end of next year. well the approval came on the heels of the news in the u.k. that it had the largest day of cases this year it's currently battling a fast spreading wave of infections driven by a new variant british health secretary matt hancock says the oxford vaccine will make a huge difference enough of this vaccine on order to vaccinate the whole population you know we've got 100000000 doses on order add that to the 30000000 doses of pfizer and that's enough for 2 doses for the entire population so i can now say with confidence that we can vaccinate everyone except of course for children because this vaccine has not been child on on children in any way children a much much less likely to have to have symptoms from the disease. speak to all

cost point where we challenge his standing by little in london and really based on what the health secretary not to say hugely significant. approval for the u.k. at this critical time. and so you have city writes about the the issues surrounding the distribution of the. vaccine i'm standing outside one of those vaccination senses hospital now you can see the queues of people mainly i think hospital workers for their jobs and this is the kind of infrastructure you need to distribute as a biotech vaccine you can hear the generators humming away behind me people have to be kept warm and that vaccine has to be kept absolutely super chills so it's mainly hospitals that are giving out the vaccine at the moment it's difficult to get it into community into care homes etc that's why there is so much hope riding on the

oxford astra zeneca vaccine because of the great ease of distribution any doctor any no with a regular fridge can give it out you can set up mobile centers in town halls you can take it into care homes where those vulnerable old people need it and let's not forget that the situation in the u.k. is worsening significantly at the moment 53000 new cases announced. yesterday that's the highest number records of falling all the time we heard that there are now more people in the hospital this week. in the 1st wave of the virus so. the government space is saying that it wants to get this vaccine into as many people as possible as quickly as possible so it's not going to divide these 100000000 cases into 50000000 in the 1st round and 50000000 for the 2nd dose is going to get as many people vaccinated with it as quickly as possible then. 3

months later they will do the 2nd round 2nd dose of the vaccine that's how serious this is that's how quickly the government wants to roll this out and there lies the larger problem doesn't the the government to want to get these vaccines out good news today obviously with astra zeneca vaccine but it's going to take time and during that time there is the potential for more lock downs more infections and more encouragement to social distance and to protect family friends and your loved ones. you know as we've known all along. the vaccines and what take us out of the pandemic but until they actually take hold until they can be properly rolled out you need to have people but doubts in their behavior restricting their behavior later on today we have a flurry of government announcements we have. hancock speaking in parliament 3

g.m.c. you have the education secretary williams and speaking after that and then there's a downing street press conference from boris johnson. 5 g.m.c. that will suggest that the government is gearing up to announce some sort of change to the lock down restrictions now it's probably going to mean that the here for restrictions are applied to a greater parts of the country it's done on a regional basis at the moment it might well mean that schools are going to be delayed in going back after the christmas holidays and it could well be that there is some sort of 50 year or crease in the severity the strict ins and outs for the highest here which is currently here for well have to wait and see what all of those restrictions are but it's looking like the government is going to be tightening things at some point later today rory thanks very much for that for us in london. now the head of oxford's vaccine group has welcomed the approval and

highlighted the need for all vaccines to get to people as quickly as possible one of the reasons why we can't have asked as an actor is they share it are you not for profit axes which could be just around the world and so that is both the fact that it can be distributed through pretty temperatures which helps it go to what corners of the world but also they put in place manufacturing around the world that allows that supply chain or new axing wherever you are to be available and i think that that's the key bit for us is global distribution access india is also expected to roll out the ultimate arsenic a vaccine on a massive scale to companies they're already been reproducing it for months there's a problem is following developments from the capital new delhi. we've heard from the c.e.o. of the serum institute of india that is the world's largest vaccine maker and they

have been testing and manufacturing the oxford astra zeneca vaccine here and here and the c.e.o. other point a lot of has said that the u.k. approval is great and encouraging news and they will now wait for emergency approval by indian regulators he said a few days ago that they had 50000000 doses of the vaccine ready that they are going to be manufacturing $50.00 to $60000000.00 every month they're going to scale that up to $100000000.00 a month by the end of march but he has always maintained that they're going to put aside half of the doors for use in india and other developing countries and also because the world health organization has to approve the use of the vaccine in the exports rather off the vaccine to other countries from india which can take up to a month he said that india will be the 1st beneficiary of the vaccine and right after the u.k. regulators gave approval we heard from india's regulatory body which said that it's going to be holding a meeting later on wednesday to decide on its approval now the indian government is

hoping to begin its vaccination drive in january the oxford astra zeneca is one of 3 vaccine candidates along with. and with another indian company by the name of bad at biotech and the indian government wants to vaccinate 300000000 people in the 1st half of 2021 even though it's the country with the biggest vaccination program in the world. says the head of the health systems research group at the barcelona institute for global health he says the development is positive and attention needs to be turned to countries. we need to ensure that as many people around the world get that 1st dose viruses mutate we've already seen that sars cover to cover $1000.00 is mutating we have the newbery incidentally 5 and there's likely to be further mutations and we need to get as many people that's

needed as quickly as possible and at the same time i think this is going to be one of the major challenges as well is to continue the pandemic measures that we've been turning out now face masks and washing know large gatherings to avoid further transmission and we've seen year over the winter holiday that cases are rising in many countries for a long time into 2021 i expect there to continue to be travel restrictions the tween countries probably within some countries and as as you mentioned some countries will go quite quickly the u.k. parts of your canada the u.s. etc in other countries will go slower there is a global mechanism led by god the world health organization and others called kodak's which is trying to ensure that scene availability in low resource settings but we've also heard that countries that can have already been putting in their orders. daily deaths have crossed 1000 for the 1st time now the health minister. the spike in deaths things off normal sort of vaccinating the elderly and health

care workers it's a 2nd home until january the 10th that's likely to be extended. being among the 1st to be vaccinated against cave at 19 and not south of the 1st batch of the russian sputnik 5 shots arrived in the country and tina is the 1st country in the americas to use that type of vaccine against the pandemic. nationwide. says immunologist. the united states has reported its 1st case of a more contagious they're contagious they're eant of the current virus which was originally discovered in the u.k. a man in colorado was confirmed to have the strain though he has no recent travel history it has further urgency to efforts to vaccinate americans and stamp out uncontrolled outbreaks across the country and hospitals across the country are struggling with a high number of infections medical centers in alabama say that there are

a crisis point with many intensive care units at or above capacity california has extended stay at home orders in parts of the state as it battles record numbers of new infections earlier president elect biden criticized the trumpet ministration for its handling of the vaccine rollout which is operating behind schedule joe biden says of the 20000000 people meant to receive injections by the end of the year only 2000000 had got them to trump administration's plan has to be vaccines is falling behind far behind we're grateful to the companies the doctors scientists and researchers the clinical trial participants in operation works speak for developing the vaccines quickly but those are long feared war the effort to distributing the minister the vaccine is not progression as it should must be to alan fischer who's monitoring events for us from washington d.c. and allan the president elect of very critical of the covert action plan and the

sort of current government's response he says that he has a more aggressive way to tackle the problem but do we know what he's considering consider considering his dire warnings. well he wants to have 100000000 doses of vaccine issued within the 1st 100 days of office he says it's a huge logistical and operational challenge perhaps the biggest the nation has put together and he's put a couple of new people on to his coronavirus task force people who deal specifically with logistics to tackle this as soon as he gets into office on january the 20th he's talking about using the defense production act to make sure that enough of what is needed is in the right places donald trump has said that the vaccine has been produced they've handed over to the c.d.c. the center for disease control but it's up to the states to administer and he says it's the states that are falling behind just to be clear. the health secretary said

that he believed that it would be 20000000 vaccines a given by the end of the year were 2 days away from the end of the year and 2100000 people have received the vaccine so that is a huge shortfall know the number of vaccines actually issued might be lacking slightly but not by 18000000. has been really the face of the preventive side of this coronavirus task force who's become to be one of the most trusted man in america he still believes they can make up the shortfall the things that production has slowly taken time to grind up to to get into a position he says that the people who are in charge of this are known and he believes that that shortfall can be made up but certainly not 18000000 before the end of the year although he thinks the piece will pick up as we get closer to the 20th of january but it's a big statement for joe biden to make to say that there will be 100000000 doses of vaccine issued in his 1st 100 days it sets a benchmark that people will be checking regularly particularly as he's been so

critical of the trumpet ministration response to getting this vaccine out into the country and of course the covert $1000.00 variant seems to emerge now in colorado we also get news of the death of a congressman elect. that's right a republican congressman luke ludlow who won his seat in a runoff in december just a few days later was admitted to hospital he was tweeting from there but then his condition worsened significantly and it was confirmed overnight that he has died 41 years old with nor other conditions that would lead doctors to be initially concerned but clearly things got much worse as for colorado there's a concern there is well this new variant disease has been found it's been found in a man we're told has nor travel history so that means he hasn't been hasn't been a of the immediate area which suggests that he was in contact perhaps with someone who brought to end so if he has this new variant then others will have this is

certainly something that they're deeply concerned about right across the country and something that the authorities here are keeping an eye on indeed a worrying development for the moment allan fishes our correspondent in washington d.c. thank you. now there's been a historic victory for women's rights in latin america where senators in argentina passed a bill legalizing abortion after a marathon session 38 senators voted to allow terminations up to 14 weeks of the 520000 women seek legal abortions in argentina each year to raise about how's the latest for us iris. was historic decision ending the criminalization of abortion in this mostly catholic country. after a long debate women outside congress waited anxiously for the vote to happen was. and when he did there was pure joy among those campaigning for that result was

we are friends affected because there are no legal and safe abortion and it's a dead that we have as a society the state needs to deal with this issue we couldn't just continue ignoring it i'm so happy and i want us to know it is the debate lasted for about 12 hours and the bill was turned into law with $38.00 votes for and 29 against you can be. the be legalized abortion in argentina after 14 weeks into pregnancy it allows women to get a free abortion in a public hospital and will end the fears of women have of being reported to the police if they try to terminate a pregnancy. women in argentina have been campaigning for years to legalize abortion in this country for this women it's a matter of public health because already around half a 1000000 abortions are carried out every year many of them end up with complications thousands of women end up in hospital because of those complications

so for this women legalizing abortion is crucial to save lives. but not everyone celebrated on wednesday and couldn't help crying when asked about the possibility of legalizing abortion i know how much we're going to cry a lot there are a lot of lies that want to sell something that is not true that abortions happen everywhere we poor women do not want to have abortions we love our children. the catholic church is a powerful body here pope francis is argentinean and has been lobbying against the law. he says the church needs to lead up to current times he said let there be are . they going to try to. make the case to be detected they are. not by because they need to say they are totally cool then they live in latin america that will then i think the only way i understand they're

not running around the next day i mean one of the but he doesn't tolerate them or finding that in america so i think you need to know some reflection about. the vote in argentina sets a precedent in a region that has some of the toughest loss against abortion in the world but this movement of women's groups has spread throughout the region and has become a force for change. and to see when a situs stuff the weather now has robbed. the last winter storm went through the midwest was this hump of clarity is still going slowly northeast as it left behind this viewer chicago obviously this is just before dawn breaks it wasn't just snow there was some freezing rain in that as well now it's not atypical for chicago in the winter just or show it to you and this is the cold front that waving arrives it gets down towards texas the cold is here bit of a warm flood in between the 2 get together you tend to get this story in the front

are the rain or snow this case will be rain but then tucked in behind it will be more snow for western side of texas the storm of see the head going up into wasn't teria and there's more coming down from the pacific so as rain on the coast is easily in the cascades in the rockies we're case way down through california in the next day or so and then there's this development in texas that it's interesting you got a good push of warms the most to him and the cold tucked in behind and does is sitting in the middle of it so it will be unpleasant in dallas not very warm windy at times the sun comes back for saturday now the whole lot then pushes study knolls was almost repeating not quite repeating what's just happened so the focus to chicago disappointing again edging between snow and sleet. well still ahead here all the news out of the u.k. parliament begins a special session to approve prime minister boris johnson's brock's agreement with the european union also an american who spent decades in prison after spying for

israel receives a hero's welcome in tel aviv. and something has to give us 2 teams without winning the n.b.a. meet up that should stay with us. mass protests forcing the government's hand but are we seeing the. chance to understand we follow journalists on the front line fishtank free press committed to reporting the facts police officers pointing guns at journalists say stop the hong kong sacked and friction the truth is it anyway on al-jazeera. for many young adults a coming of age brings greater responsibility. for this young man the

responsibility of 800 years of family tradition weighs heavy on his shoulders. the choice this is what the decision must be made soon. monkey by blood part of the viewfinder asia series on al-jazeera. rule. oh. welcome back you're watching al-jazeera as a news hour with me to run a reminder of our top story at least 5 people are being killed and dozens injured in yemen after an explosion struck the airport on the city of aden it happened as members of yemen's new unity government to ride yemen's minister of information is

blaming the who the rebels who have denied the accusation. the u.k. health regulators approved the oxford astra zeneca coronavirus vaccine for emergency use the government has already preordered 100000000 doses it paves the way for huge expansion of the government's not collation program. and a historic victory for women's rights in latin america senators in argentina have passed a bill legalizing abortion after a marathon session 38 senators voted to allow terminations up to 14 weeks while 29 senators voted against. it. but it's members of parliament are meeting for an extraordinary session to vote on the e.u. trade deal they negotiated last week is expected to pass comfortably with the main opposition labor party supporting the agreement. scottish national party m.p.'s are opposing the deal calling it a disaster now the vote comes just a day before the u.k. automatically leaves the single market meanwhile you chiefs of signed off on the

future relationship agreement in brussels european council and commission president shall shell and is live on delay and formalize the bops approval in brussels the papers are now being flown to the u.k. for signing there all 27 member states will abide by the agreement provisionally until it can be ratified by the parliament so let's take a look back at how we got to this point the u.k. voted to leave the e.u. by a narrow margin in 20 sixteen's referendum the vend prime minister david cameron resigned after 18 months of talks his successor theresa may reached a withdrawal agreement with the e.u. but failed to get it through parliament she was replaced by boris johnson in july 29 teen britain for we left the e.u. back in january but months of fraught negotiations followed following future trading agreements they needed to be resolved before britain leaves the e.u. strayed travel on business rules at midnight on thursday let's turn paul brennan

for the very latest from london and paul you know we've heard the pm speak and he's been very positive about the way forward but the proof of the putting is in the eating so it's all eyes on january the 1st. it is and this is a day full of symbolism and box ticking essentially rather than high drama the outcome of today's procedural vote in parliament this bill is not in doubt boris johnson has the full support of his conservative party and a big majority in the house of parliament and even labor the main opposition party in maine will actually support him because the opposition leader kids start to says this thin deal as he describes it is better than no deal at all that said boris johnson. sort of rejected those criticisms of the labor and insisted that it was a very good deal but as you say it is true that the proof of the effect of this

will only be felt on january the 1st when those trucks start to go through kalai and over under this new system of checks where you'll have rule of origin checks you'll have new customs declarations that won't be tariffs there won't be quotas they have that they've been done away with in the deal and so it gave boris johnson the opportunity to be celebrating in the house behind me a little earlier let's have a listen just to be rewarded trade barriers so we've also ensured the u.k.'s full control of our laws and our regulations and there is a vital symmetry between these 2 achievements because the central purpose of this bill is to accomplish something that the british people always knew in their hearts could be done and yet which we were continually tone was impossible and told we could not have our cake and eat it you remember how we were told that i missed the speaker namely that we could trade incorporate as we will with our european neighbors on the closest terms of friendship and goodwill while retaining sovereign

control of our laws and our national destiny. now kist our labor leader has to back it through gritted teeth i'm afraid but he said the country's what the prime minister said there would be an avalanche of checks and bureaucracy and red tape some members of labor's own backbenches will oppose the bill as will the other opposition parties but it will go up to the upper house of the lords at around 3 o'clock this afternoon it will get an accelerated passes through there and receive royal assent to the queen will sign it off later on this evening and of course the debate also continues in northern ireland scotland and wales i mean they're not exactly happy with the agreement and all of those 3 areas. no an end block for the leader of the scottish national party here in westminster intervened and interrupted the prime minister several times in quite testy exchanges as the prime minister started his opening of the debate complaining bitterly in blackfoot about

the way that the fisheries have been treated saying it was a bad deal for fisheries and also it's basically saying that because scotland had voted to stay within the european union it would strengthen the claims of the scottish nation for a breakaway from the rest of the united kingdom and northern ireland of course has its own issues in relation to the ongoing relationship with the republic of ireland which is of course part of the european union so the rip the border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland the only land border that the u.k. has with the european union there are bound to be complications in relation to trade across that border all of which will come to reality and we will see the true affects all of this not just on the paper but in reality have to generate the 1st digital pool but in a forest with the latest from london thanks very much will. now hundreds of refugees and migrants in bosnia are still without proper shelter after being

transported from a camp destroyed by fire last week and they collected their belongings from what remained of the camp in left her near croatia's border and stayed on buses overnight bosnian authorities say that they have to read a keep them on wednesday the campout been heavily criticized by a group for writing an adequate shelter they say the fire left people stranded in freezing and squalid conditions with very little food. people had to because leave this jungle here to have too much cord and not have life here is go to them. and not have for not getting water not me. but i don't know i also scared i don't know where they're departing peter van that our art is the bosnia and herzegovina representative for the international organization of migration joins me now via skype from study in bosnia herzegovina good to be with us on al-jazeera sir so it was the best move to really relocate these migrants i mean was the camp at the litter so bad. yet it was very bad then what we're seeing actually not always skule

shoot off a problem that has been with us for 2 or 3 months we just insufficient accommodation for 2503000 migrants refugees finding cells in kent the decision to relocate the migrants who are just that were stuck at the. staking month state council of ministers was the right position unfortunately operation was all that when there was not resistance in the area around where the new center would be established and so a result of that was that people had to spend 20 buses on a whim and then council. systems and things for well doing night but we are now early afternoon that are in starting to fall and we still do not have a solution for these people and sitting. so tell me about this new camp then that they that these migrants will go to have you seen it have you checked it out what are your representatives that saying about it yes the person who is co but on the.

form of the. billings i mean reasonably good shape and we would have been able to accommodate the miners are currently in the process it's relatively small occasions so it would be somewhat crown's but at least for a short period of time this was a good location and certainly a message improvement over what you need here in conditions under which people are saying we need but unfortunately i don't see as a political decision to block the actions. of these forms with actually happening. there's only so much you might say a host country like bosnia can do it's not a rich country. and they have a lot of migrants to deal with how do you assess bosnia's capability at this moment in time. well a person took a picture and we have a 1000 migrants in the country it's going to come to your 3500000 people so it's not it's not such it's not like jordan or 'd elin and see for example when it comes

to policy 'd or to go and he's not doing it on its own i really you know the situation is very sufficient international family if they're off to how the house treat and take care of the a person for whom there but what is lacking simply easy decision as to where the 2nd. monster is incisions i think in if we can actually see this which is not so easy as we have seen yesterday the european union order dollars and your own when units your partners are ready to start for me at least once really not an issue of resources it's an issue of. the cultural political consensus at state level but also to call it on between the state and local authorities and that is the challenge that we're going to be facing it's not a challenge well it is not a challenge of resources not a challenge of finances it certainly is a challenge of wills not the moment as you say there are many partners including the e.u. and bosnia has the ari been taken off the ball because of the covert 19 pandemic

a more moral you might say concentration. focused in that area away from the current problem that we're seeing here with migrants. no impossible to go out and say that's a. few recent months in union u.s. and u.s. ambassador here in detroit a masters from other countries and really given a lot of attention to assisting politicians are coming to a consensus as to how to move forward on this issue and also the united nations my organizations i think everyone has pretty much been focused on this issue because there is a complete 90 and at least that we have on the street that's market sleeping outside is also a public health code so there was an all out effort to bring people to a consensus but of course there is the market with decisions that have to find. the cost for the moment it's good to have your important thanks very much for

a time peter van that there from the international organization for migration thank you thank you. there have been several aftershocks in central croatia a day after a 6.4 magnitude quake killed at least 7 people it struck near the town of petit gina 50 kilometers from the capital zagreb another local man says half the town has been destroyed many people spent the night in tents afraid to return to their homes rain fell also overnight turning rubble into mud scientists are warning there could be more aftershocks the latest tremors were felt throughout the region including bosnia serbia and slovenia tanya novak is in the village of pickle near the epicenter with more on how residents are coping. they can see behind me some of them have nowhere to return to there are several houses that were completely flattened with during the earthquake the other houses in this small village of only

about 100 houses maybe look a little bit better from the outside but from the inside they are not safe to go into because their construction has been completely damaged so a lot of people from here this is a rural farming area decided to stay overnight they didn't want to go into their houses so they made that make up shift tents and spend the night outside they say that they don't want to leave their homes they have livestock here they don't want to leave their animals and they basically are afraid of possible looting even though we didn't get any official confirmation that this was happening obviously the fear is much greater didn't just the earthquake and the ground is still shaking and they are fearful of even checking out how their property is at the moment. 10 hong kong activists who tried to flee the territory by speedboat have been handed jail terms by a chinese court but they're part of a group of 12 caught trying to escape to taiwan last august after beijing imposed

its sweeping national security law on hong kong the 2 youngest of them have been sent back to the authorities in hong kong aaron brown has been. a day of drama both inside and outside court the 2 youngest defendants age 16 and 17 when they absconded were driven across the border to hong kong shortly after being freed by mainland police both were hooded they've swapped one detention for another as they now face serious charges in hong kong related to last year's protests as well as leaving hong kong illegally young why need i mean nancy and because these 2 males are also subjected to a 14 day compulsory quarantine we will file a request to the court for a 14 day delay in handling their cases we will bring them to the kurds for their hearing after they have finished according to. the 2 free teenagers leave behind 10 other activists now beginning jail terms that between 7 months to 3 years the

campaign for their release continues the group fled hong kong by speedboat 4 months ago hoping to seek asylum in democratic taiwan before their vessel was intercepted by the chinese coast guard their detention drew international attention but diplomats as well as foreign journalists were denied permission to attend the trial it's rare for a trial to be wrapped up so quickly in china especially as the 12 had initially been branded as separatists by china's government and then there's the timing of it all coming on the very day that china is due to conclude a major trade deal with the european union that's been calling on china to free all the activists to both the hong kong and central. governments though this case will serve as a warning to others facing charges over last year's unrest who may also try to obscure adrian brown al-jazeera. the emir of qatar has been invited to next month's
