the development of tests treatments and effects are keeping you up to date with what's happening on the ground in the wood and in the land now more than ever the world needs w.-h. and making healthy a world for you. to everyone. will know all. this is al-jazeera. but time is 1500 hours g.m.t. hello i'm come all santamaria welcome to the news hour on al-jazeera a peace initiative after 6 years of war saudi arabia offers a ceasefire and yemen but only if the hooty rebels agree. also in the news the e.u. imposes sanctions against the chief over last month's coup and the violent crackdown against protesters. was

a huge fire tears through part of a refugee camp in bangladesh that houses more than 850000 refugees hundreds of thousands of people have fled violence in mozambique now there are a fears some could be radicalized by isis. and its for manchester united player fred has become the latest footballer to be racially abused online the brazilian star was targeted after he made this mistake during his team's f.a. cup defeat son. over an almost 6 years to the day since it intervened in yemen and helped create the world's worst humanitarian crisis in saudi arabia is now offering up a plan for peace in the past hour the saudi foreign minister face open for harm as outlined the yemen peace initiative and includes a nationwide cease fire under the supervision of the united nations followed by

a resumption of political talks to end the war there would also be an easing of the blockade on the part of data on the reopening of sanaa airport but according to the minister it all hinges on the who these and whether they will accept the proposal we will work with the international community with our partners and with the government of yemen. to push toward this initiative being implemented we will do all we can to put the necessary pressure on the who these to accept and to come to the negotiating table and to lay down arms because we believe that a stop to the fighting and a focus on a political solution is the only way forward we will nonetheless continue to support the people of yemen and the government of yemen and we will continue to protect our borders and our citizens and our infrastructure from the attacks ok so that's the saudi foreign minister in response they heard these chief negotiator

told reuters the saudis were actually offering nothing new and that it does very much it's being saudi does very much remain part of the war he did say however they would continue to talk to saudi arabia oman and the united states to reach a peace agreements with us now abraham fry how to sociate professor of conflict resolution of the doha institute joining us on skype conflict resolution i guess that's what the saudis say they are now offering but really putting it all in the court of the hutus and saying you have to accept otherwise there's nothing. well let's say here fairness it's definitely and initiative. for conflict was a notion in yemen and i hope it will work but it's still there is a long way to go and my view of this of all it's recognized that this is not the 1st time that saudi arabia makes such initiatives in the past 4 years ago we have seen what was called in being the decisive storm and indeed it would replace it

with a storm of all but unfortunately that not where we saw all saw some very bad supporting. a whole day the. agreement that was the then sweden with a one intervention that did not wear p. that it seems that at this time things different at least from the previous times and one major difference is that we have seen this time that we are seeing a strong what it began well on the bidens administration that has been all been talking about that this war must end and sticking its the b. addition actually as the us president untrained in this war and with then the pension so that is a serious you as not to mention in order to put this and then we could see we could think of this saudi initiative as a way to live and when that you want to see what's in order that you're trying to

provide an initiative of this sort of and through the whole again in that for the whole of that in order to be able to do this because if we look at the. statements made by the saudis got a minister that he did not want to all of. the war or actually ending the support of that government and they are many given so that is to look at what it meant on the saudi government not. to proceed with this but nevertheless i think that one of those the hood is out of the south there's are seeing there is a serious movement as they think let's see out of this could we see an engine that is television on the ground my business going to matter and that can go different airports in saudi arabia and so that i don't be at all shaw is going to get set backs in yemen in order to have and prevent important negotiations so let's let's

flip it on its head then and look at it from the perspective already the chief negotiator has said actually there's nothing new in here and i guess their view would also be look you started this you came in and intervened in our country for 6 years it has created this awful situation and now you're trying to play peacemaker . alice is definitely a major concern came out because we have to keep in mind that this war has been going on for over 6 years now and then the very one that is c.b.s. outcome of this war is a myth is trivial mistrust between the hotel and sell their behavior no one trusts . anyone over here and for that i mean with just an initiative without thinking this thought action and changes on the ground i don't think anyone would be willing to or immediately embark on supporting that or adopting it

or responding that you know very positively of accepting anything that we now see additional assurances i don't think that opening the sun higher or no it's an important step i don't think it's enough in order to build the trust the damage was between the 2 but there's i think we need to see more of this and also we need to see syria's military or the humanitarian assistance to with us or some airport or other places in order that of course you know to build this confidence building measures over there and another major things you have to keep in mind. came out is that i'm not sure we can say about it or we can look at this initiative as the possibility of ending the war totally independent lives from the reprobates meant with the un between iran and saudi arabia because iran is the main back out of the whole it is iran wants to link this this war as the last of the

2 or the understanding all over the regional influence of iran in the region and has been successful for the past 2 years to do this so i think in order to try to make serious the procedure i think we need to love to have as the logic issue is with iran probably in due time but at the bottom now we need to see some action always a wider context as and they're bringing taking us to that breaking news out of saudi arabia today thank you. now on to other news and china has announced retaliatory sanctions against 10 european politicians for severely harming its sovereignty and spreading lies and this information that's what the chinese are saying it was less than an hour after the e.u. sanction for chinese officials themselves for their role in the abuse of muslims the 1st time the e.u.'s actually targeted beijing for human rights abuses in decades all part of

a series of sanctions targeting alleged human rights offenders all around the world different places as well russia libya south sudan eritrea and me in mar as well the military is going to was a big target the e.u. finally sanctioned 11 people there including the top commander min on line for the february 1st coup and the lethal crackdown that has followed since then let's take you to paris and talk to natasha butler about all of this i mean just. i don't even know where to start because they've just gone broadbrush today the european union and them taking a stand on on human rights maybe me and i will go through france because that is obviously an acute issue. yes e.u. foreign ministers meeting in brussels have announced these sanctions on 11 military leaders in myanmar all linked to the fed. and the ongoing violence in the country and also sanctions on any businesses and companies that those military

leaders might own and run well what do you say is that these sanctions will really a freeze on all e.u. linked. visa and travel bans will also be imposed on these individuals and any you companies investors or banks will be banned from working with any of these individuals or with the companies that they are or the toughest penalties against myanmar ever since the coup in february and probably the main person to really have had sanctions imposed against them is the leader of the men on lang he has had sanctions imposed against him as well so a very tough message coming from the european union and china i think this is the interesting one obviously no surprise that china retaliates a retaliates quickly with its own sanctions but the fact that a body the european union has gone up to china over specifically the weaker muslims issue is something there's a lot of talk about the week is maybe not so much action.

yes but the e.u. in this meeting said that one of the aims of this meeting was really to send a message to the world internationally that the e.u. will not tolerate human rights abuses wherever those abuses occurred so what we've seen now are 4 chinese officials and a chinese company all sanctioned because of their links to human rights abuses of the muslim we go minority in china so a strong message there and as you say beijing hitting back criticizing the european union saying that the e.u. should not be meddling in china's internal affairs and also then in retaliation imposing sanctions on 10 e.u. officials the e.u. though also went on to announce sanctions and penalties on a number of other individuals and companies in different countries in north korea

in south sudan in eritrea and in libya for repression and unlawful killing so really a raft of sanctions today coming from the european union as i said the message is that such rights abuses simply cannot be tolerated thank you natasha in paris for that update and now he is with us as we return to the 1000000 mark side of this he's i mean our human rights activist co-founder of the forces of renewal southeast asia with us on skype from london thank you for your time sir what is your take on this level of action do you think it can make a difference. it is a welcome move but we cannot make it different for a simple reason said the you know 11 or so generals and individuals that have been single out for a target is sunk shouldn't they keep the s.s. in places like china or singapore banks in you know in southeast asia and you know so therefore if we really want to have any impact on the military

and its behavior the e.u. should seriously look at you know d. recognize the military attash age across as european union countries and also freeze all forms of development aid except humanitarian aid e.u. must have done you know might have done it already that i'm not aware of but side said i think these individuals will also not apply for a visa to come to european union countries because they are already paranoid about being you know rested through interpol and others because some of the top guys so on there i would say i did see in a year or 2 will be on the charge list of. criminals wanted by the international criminal court just so you know among we're also hearing my producer telling me

that the united states is now announcing some level of sanctions on me and my general so we'll look for some more information on that i wonder though what you think would actually make a difference my initial question for you was what the sanctions make a difference and you said no because it needs to be more targeted things so as regards to the acute crisis and meanwhile the fact that there was a coup and that an elected government was deposed. a how to how how does that get resolved does it need a china or someone to come in there and or both mediate to try to find a way through it. well i do you know i think yes definitely china has. parallel level of influence with the burmese military end and also there's also russia as well but the you know i'm having a bit of a difficulty seeing how this could be deescalated it without the military turn to reversing that coup and allowing themselves to be held accountable because the

giunta of the top leadership. have been digging in their heels here because they are encouraged by the fact that china continues to protect them at the security council and just had 2 days ago like you know the neighboring countries particularly thailand time military has provided thrown them a lifeline you know there were truces stationed along the time burmese borders that are viciously attacking ethnic minorities and time military provided them with rights because they are the ethnic freedom fighters cut off the supply lines coming to the you know the centrally terroristic camps and so. i must say that you know what u.n. special report. on myanmar human rights situation tom andrews said has some potential you know building a whole list of concerned u.n.

member states yeah that would hammer out a serious chord unaided action whatever that those actions may be but to to put this together to put that coalition together and confront countries like china as a broad that want to see this resolved you know as peacefully as possible will be the 1st step in the right direction a lot of work as well wouldn't monk zani joining us from london today thank you for your time. now a major fire has swept through a refugee camp in bangladesh the blaze that camp in cox's bazaar destroyed hundreds of tents and left thousands of people without shelter health centers and other facilities have also been destroyed no casualties no immediately reported we'll check in with. for us what more if you got for us to.

well 1st of all the fire is now under control i spoke to our contacts in the can many of them are going to refugees the fire was brought under control took about 4 over for. 10 very unfortunate if you can hear me we can't hear you at the moment so we will have to leave you there we're trying to get an update on that fire situation in the range account from time via a little later still so much for you coming up on this news our leading opposition figure in the republic of congo dies a day after a contentious presidential vote we look at the political implications israel prepares for its 4th election in 2 years and pressure against prime minister benjamin netanyahu is mounting. and in sport more problems for christianity as his hopes of winning the italian title suffered another setback.

just go back to that story about the fire at the ranch you can't we lost a child re a moment ago but we've got him back to back to you. sorry about the audio i hope you can hear me now at c.n.n. now as i was saying the fire is under control it took a little over 4 hours to bring it under control it's a very challenging environment many of these huts are in a heater and where there's no running water the fire trucks cannot reach them the u.n. other n.g.o.s mobilize a lot of their oing their wreckage is as volunteers along with the fire fighters to bring this under control now this is probably one of the most devastating accident . camm other than one in january of this month and another in may of last year now there wasn't any casualties on those fires but today at least from rowing our record deal is when we visited those camps they told us there are many people

missing and they say there are casualties we can give you the exact figure also it is didn't come up with anything they're still searching people save the children say they have taken volunteers and trying to put many of them in temporary shelter many of them have to take shelter in friends and family as i was because there is no government bill shelter parcell where this refugees can stay overnight they probably have to use the triple r.c. camp which is the camp office or they have to use probably some of the family places lot of the danger comes from cooking cylinder they use that which is called l.p.g. get cylinder because each family gets one cylinder for cooking this is to avoid cutting odes in the nearby forest to have wide and garment of destruction this is also causing danger because many of times this fire started from this gas cylinder the highly combustible and also this flimsy house are made out of cane and bambos and toppling which is a clear danger to save the children saying there actually is in

a statement just brought out today that at least 80000 people could be adversely affected by this fire in the area where they live and by the cali a lot of the children's learning center are damaged many of the schools that are temporary schools rather gary and children are traumatized by this incident it here how do you tackle this sort of situation in coming days the government has also shifted about 13000 refugees to. island remote island called pasha in charge they want to take about 100000 clearly to decongest the camp for security reasons as well as the congestion region but safety concern and one of the lot of the largest camp in the world and densely populated is a major issue so the government endangers and un have to come up with a better solution in coming days and future how to deal with this sort of fire incidents. thank you for that. the leading opposition candidate in the

republic of congo has died a day after the presidential election but he's part of a calais or so was being transferred to france for treatment the covert 19 after being diagnosed on friday he was the main challenger to the veteran they died in a successor in grass or right now votes still being counted gesso is widely expected to win and extend his 36 years in power a nationwide internet blackout on sunday is only added to concerns over transparency now can web is in brownsville covering the story how malcolm tell us more about this opposition leader in the circumstances around. well we've spoken to people who saw him last week they said he had a cough and a fever he would vent to hold his final campaign pain rally here in the capitol grounds of it on friday he didn't show up he's apparently already sick maybe even already in hospital appointment and on saturday evening he sent a dramatic video message lying in a hospital bed holding an oxygen mask saying that he was fighting with the genius

supporters to go out and vote in the early hours of this morning voting took place on sunday the early hours of this morning it was announced that he was dead in front raid gone to the medical treatment now along among many of his supporters and just today we were outside his part of the headquarters which is you know a suburb of the of the city there's a great disbelief a lot of them think that he's been poisoned now part of this is because of a deep mistrust in the government in the last election 2 prominent opposition candidates who challenge the election results at least one of them was very popular his supporters expected him to win the government accused him of trying to launch an armed insurrection he was sentenced to 20 years forced labor as was another candidate who disputed the results from that election. the prime minister just about 10 days ago. it was in a speech issue to make making what was widely understood to be veiled threats

against collapse is that within this context that now when it's announced that he's died a code red which 2 people in the suburbs of this city seems like something that's quite distant and to them they see on the news that it seems to affect older people in richer countries today all the sudden they're expected to believe that that's why he died and there's a lot of skepticism indeed and that certainly makes the situation quite tense in the days ahead as the results are announced ok and we'll talk to you more about those in the coming days thank you mark webber in brownsville. tomorrow choose day israel will hold its 4th election in 2 years with the pollsters expecting another inconclusive result california voters will also have their voice heard for the 1st time in 15 years that's happening in a few months when they elect a new parliament al-jazeera has met one palestinian family whose members can vote in 2 different elections. for this palestinian family 2 upcoming elections are

producing 2 very different reactions i've let him down like her husband to malice palestinian but unlike him she's also a citizen of israel she can take part in the country's polls on tuesday and while she doesn't expect real change she says voting is a duty in the end of the up there's a lot of how the heck if i give up this right then i've given the others the chance to decide on my future the political decision follows the majority and if i didn't vote how can i complain later jamal is allowed to live with his family in israel but he's not an israeli citizen he can only cast ballots in palestinian polls in the occupied west bank and gaza and he did get that chance in may the long overdue parliamentary elections are the 1st in 15 years however you want to be voting which had the vote we're not going to win this battle in the me in my vote

doesn't make a difference the same people will stay in power regardless the faces of palestinian officials may change but their policies are the same israel has the upper hand here when it comes to the occupied territory. according to pollsters jamal's opinion is more popular among most palestinians we've got the impression by the. way that palestinians are looking positively. at the fact that israel is having elections and that the palestinian public. miss. election when it comes to elections in israel palestinians worry that no matter who wins the country's leaders will continue to control the lands and lives of palestinians israeli settlers living in the heart of the west bank can put up election campaign posters and have a say in their future but palestinians living in the same area. and their leaders in the palestinian authority can change so little in the reality of

the occupation back of the hand that household i bless says the determination of palestinian israelis to have their say is the only way to make a difference. as a citizen i know that israel is working for its own benefit it's far fetched to assume that israel can say about us as a palestinian minority so let's start showing that we have a president change doesn't happen in a day jamal has never voted in his life and had no will cast her 4th ballot in 2 years they may disagree politically but both share the hope for a better future for their children. bank. i want to focus now on the israeli elections are happening on tuesday and the main political forces you've got benjamin netanyahu as they could party it has the largest share of seats in the israeli parliament but it faces a greater threat from other right wing is instead of the usual center and left

leading the opposition you've got the former journalist in the centrist party promising good governance of his are trying to capitalize on netanyahu corruption trials the right wing. you mean the party headed by former education and defense minister enough that he bennett has criticised the prime minister's handling of the pandemic. this new hope made up of formally could politicians making its electoral debut in fact the party leader guinea and saad has further to position himself further to the right of prime minister netanyahu and then there's benny gantz netanyahu his main challenger in 3 previous elections but now facing pretty much political wipe out supporters of abandoned his blue and white party since he joined to the netanyahu led coalition last year. with his from west jerusalem mitchell barak upholstered keven global research also the former spokesperson for the israeli president shimon peres nice to see you michel i've lost track of the number of times i've spoken to you in the last 2 years about israeli elections they seem

to happen so often as i read through that list of parties there the 1st thing that strikes me is that there isn't an opposition well there isn't a strong opposition there's just lots of little fractured parts of it and that will that can't be good for the electoral process or at least trying to find. a majority somewhere. well i think that's going to help in that and you know it's interesting because you know we're now in our 4th election up until now the 1st 3 were really it's i wouldn't call it an even match but it was new to now versus guns so there were people that vote and it's and you know other people that voted guns and some voted for the smaller parties now there isn't one you know solid opposition against the prime minister there's a group of really 3 or 4 parties or even 5 parties or 6 parties that have committed to being against it and you know and those parties may get together and you know form a government that really ends natanya as career the problem is for the public they

don't see any one person as being that leader of that so it's going to be hard to really see who's going to step forward whether it's you know the person as you mentioned peed who will probably have the most votes after newtown you know where there it's good on sar who comes from the right from the likud or enough tallied bennett who comes from the right of the likud is still not clear and i don't think we're going to know ok and so prime minister netanyahu the great survivor a man with all these corruption allegations against him is actually the strongest player he has. well he is in is in i mean it's it's basically been for the past you know almost 10 years nathaniel runs against himself meeting basically he's running against himself the thing is like this there is a lot of for tea for finishing up when that's and you know people are used to the corruption although some people say ok you know he's on their trial but most people

it's not a burning issue but people are already you know he's been like a total of 14 or 15 years here as prime minister so people are getting fatigued of that kind about the middle east all right how is it not a burning issue how is it not a burning issue that the leader of the country is under the microscope like this surely that is something which would make people think again. we're used to it where you stood ready each election when we got a little bit more of the sensitized 1st says you know what's going to happen when the police recommended and i mean what's going to happen when he actually the attorney general recommends an indictment what happens when he actually gets indicted and what happens when he's on trial so we've passed all that but here's the thing and why he's not running as he should be in the time that he formed the last government till now of which he really broke the deal with many guns ok he's made to peace treaties like ad of nowhere with bomb rain and the united arab emirates you know warm relations with morocco we have more peace treaties probably coming and israel has vaccinated more than half of its population 5000000 people

even though he mishandled even though he mishandled a lot of the closures and the other things he should really be polling not at 30 seats but at 42 seats and 43 seats i mean these are tremendous achievements and he's not seeing that he's not seeing that enthusiasm that blind support at the polls because people are tired of going to the polls and he's wearing thin on some people but that doesn't mean that he won't have the advantage and as with most elections it's all going to boil down to turnout and the one thing i can predict is that we're not we're probably not going to know the results not even the night of the election but not for another week or 2 weeks a month until president really rivlin the size who can form the government and then to have an actual government form this is going to be a long process because the other thing to keep in mind is or all of these parties have painted themselves in a corner does they've all said who they're not going to sit with i'm not going to sit with this one i'm not going to go here i'm not going to go there with all of those requirements it's going to be very very difficult to form

a government for anyone for any candidate deja vu all over again isn't it great to talk to you thank you thank you. still so much ahead the on the news hour the astra zeneca vaccine safe and effective the results of a large u.s. clinical trial in we'll have analysis on bats. has been arbitrary detained and now we see that the court process in itself is not transparent canada has denied access to a trial in beijing for one of its foreign diplomats on charges of espionage and sport a kick to remember for this goalkeeper in portugal and he is here with that and the rest of the sports a little later. at

about race. with no host and no limitations our society has structural racism built into it. and i don't brother people tend to be migrant labor disproportionately women in care comes down surprised to. be unscripted. here on the news on here at al-jazeera on these are the top stories saudi arabia announcing a peace plan for the war in yemen includes a u.n. monitored ceasefire a resumption of political talks on the easing of the blockade on the part of the

data with the rebels i said there's nothing new in the offer but they continue to be open to dialogue. in bangladesh a major fire swept through a camp housing range refugees hundreds of tents have been destroyed leaving thousands without shelter no casualties reported so far. and china's announced retaliatory sanctions against 10 european politicians the e.u. sanction for officials for the abuse of weak and muslims it also sanctioned 11 military leaders in me and. to the united states where a democratic congressman has released photos from inside the detention facility on the southern border i reveal crowded makeshift conditions longer term sentence fill up the congressman describe them as terrible for the children and release the images to raise awareness of the growing crisis by administration has been defending its handling of the situation on sunday the president acknowledged more needs to be done but migrants must apply for asylum from their own country.

the migrants tell them to stay home don't come now but if you can have to present more work in the council or for the process of your group make sure. but it just before it was taking place a good number of old. kimberly how good is our white house correspondent i can believe those pictures remember seeing very similar ones during the trumpet ministration is plenty of outrage over that point has to be made they still happening right now and the biden administration is on the back foot about doing something about it. and that's why these are getting such big headlines here in the united states people shocked given the fact that we are now into the 3rd month of the biden administration people were promised transparency they were promised a humane immigration policy but what we're seeing is something very similar to what we saw under the trumpet ministration which was sharply criticized for treating

people as they came across the u.s. border from mexico inhumanely and those pictures really tell the story and you see a large number of children many sleeping on the floor with just a thin blanket or not at all often those floors are concrete and so people are scratching their heads in this is really giving an opportunity for joe biden's conservative critics to say that you know the excuse that you inherited a broken system doesn't seem to be working anymore so people looking for answers and also calling the biden administration out for the fact that they promised transparency they are still blocking the media from getting in to see these facilities and so there are a lot of people saying that more needs to be done and they're asking when it's going to happen 2 months now of this buy and it's strange how has the situation at the border changed those 2 months with the the number of people trying to get. well

that's a tough question to answer because again given the lack of transparency there really is no way for the media to know exactly how many children how many families are here but the asked him it seems to be anywhere from in excess of $10000.00 children many unaccompanied who are now being held at the u.s. border and floods of migrants are still coming now the administration argues that their policies have been misinterpreted that the coyote's or human smugglers are sending the message that the border is open when in fact it is not when they're trying to revamp a system that they say needs repair and that doesn't seem to be helping at all so what we know we've confirmed in just the last few moments the biden ministration ascending basket or roberta jacobson down to meet with mexican officials as well as guatemalan officials and that will be happening those meetings taking place on tuesday in mexico they're hoping to address the root causes of these migrants

moving northward but again it may not be enough one round of discussions to solve the crisis that is quickly being formed on the southern border of the united states and mexico can be how could it the white house thank you for those updates people to spy spy on groups affiliated with i so in mozambique could become radicalized of the international community and the government and into being certain that warnings come from the un's own refugee agency has been meeting some of the worst affected communities on which also has a report. the numbers keep going up in northern mozambique according to the un's refugee agency nearly 700000 people have been forced to flee their homes and more than 2000 have been killed we're lucky learner's village came under attack one night he fled with his wife children and grandchildren. they left because of the
