to be close to death on his hunger strike in a russian chain the french president will discuss his fate would draw shells blood in a pushing today. and the biggest bonnet walkout in crimea as history means four hundred flights grounded during the peak holiday season more than seventy thousand travelers are affected. do not ignitions is calling for an independent investigation into an ass strike that killed many children on a school bus in yemen there was strong international condemnation of test as attack by the saudi led coalition but spokesman for saudi arabia said the strike was sponsored for legitimate military action and it's a battle against the who the rebels most of those killed in the abstract were

children under the age of fifteen. this is yemen doctors desperately fighting for the lives of children the school bus hit by an aerial strike. to say that they were on their way to a school summer camp. the devastation of the blasts showing just how powerful the strike was awful a lot about what the attack happened in the middle of the market and was aimed at the bus full of children. and our shops were open and people were going about their daily lives don't let any of those who died were just locals kids and shop owners. who's responsible the saudi arabian led coalition the coalition has been fighting hutu rebels on behalf of the yemeni government since two thousand and fifteen in a deadly proxy war the rebels are being backed by iran both saudi and iran to fight for power and influence yemen but across the middle east this conflict has been

unrelenting for civilians who are often caught in the middle even rights organizations say yemen has become the world's largest humanitarian crisis and peace is no way in sight. according to the united nations over ten thousand people have already died with over two million people displaced. last week the un announced that new peace talks will be held between those involved in the conflict these are likely to begin before september meanwhile the fighting continues. if we now draw in at least a grand who is the united nations humanitarian coordinator for yemen and we saw very distressing pictures from this attack yesterday the u.n. is calling for an independent and prompt investigation into this asteroid but will there be actually any consequences. what happened just today in northern yemen was a tragedy scores of innocent children were killed and tens more were injured this is why the united nations is calling for an independent prompt and transparent

investigation so that we can establish the facts clearly of what happened yesterday and then appropriate actions can be taken. not these even before the fighting broke out in two thousand and fifteen gehman was already on the poorest countries in the arab a people especially children have been suffering intensely tell us something about the situation that now. twenty two million people innocent civilians require some form of humanitarian assistance or protection in order to survive that's recorder's of the entire population there is no other country in the world for three quarters of everyone who lives in that treat needs humanitarian assistance this is why the united nations characterizes what is happening in yemen as the worst most of the earth humanitarian crisis locally it's also why humanitarian everywhere are demanding insisting that all of the parties start political negotiations to end hostilities enough is enough the war has to stop and

what are the chances of ending hostilities the u.n. has already described yemen as saying it's on the brink of a humanitarian catastrophe are you hopeful about the future and that a compromise can be found to bring peace to the region. a compromise has to be found right now eight and a half million human these have no idea where they will get their next meal ten million more you. three conditions it's also don't stop by and you know this is why the peace talks just see this crisis was created by the or it can only solve or stop. these a drunkard from the united nations humanitarian coordinator for yemen thank you very much for talking to. turn to spain with a ship with eighty seven refugees on board has docked docked after being turned away by italy and more to

a spanish aid group picked up the migrants off the coast of libya for those on board the most hazardous part of the germany. but as our correspondent norman reports from the town of libby a refugee is life in spain is often precarious nothing is left of up to sit it is hot it cold fudging the night. living in this. in twenty fourteen city became to spain from ivory coast to find work he ended up in this slum near the town of libya on the loose along with up to one thousand dollars fine as occur frequently due to the flammable building materials gas canisters and forty degree celsius heat. you know. many. were no or good

spain's new government is taking a lenient stance with migrants but the conservative opposition is in disagreement and the spaniards are worried. because how many immigrants could cause us problems that's just how it is. spain is a country with high unemployment. there's just not enough jobs for so many people but. the spaniards see things differently until you have bad volunteers for an aid organization and supports migrants like i do any way he can. he helps up to plant vegetables and takes care of red tape until new sees the refugees as an economic factor the plantations in the region couldn't get by without them. thanks to these people many

others are getting rich. the immigrants live off what little money they can earn so they're cheap labor. but. they're not going to work the problem and they have to put up with everything and never complain. i do see the bay wants people to know what's really happening in york but he's not ready to give up on his dream of a better life. a move. now i'm living it. gets my family. to help myself. you know. i think george will beat you. eventually once he's saved enough money to be intends to return to ivory coast my son needs me he says all of africa needs us but that's in the future right now he's got to

after weeks of blazing temperatures. now to the case of jade ukrainian filmmaker and kremlin critic sense of he's been on a hunger strike for almost three months in a russian prison french president a man in mccrone will discuss his feet would russia's vladimir putin later today a russian has released photos of sense of suggesting he's fine social media. family and lawyer for the filmmaker saying the end is near a sense of course the charges against him and dozens of other ukrainian prisoners political in twenty fifteen russian court sentenced him to twenty years in a siberian penal colony on charges he planned terrorist attacks on the primary and . for more on on accent and his imprisonment in russia joining me now from the ukrainian capital kiev is correspondent david stern and

from moscow. welcome to both if you are let me start with you what can you tell us about sense of health you're getting conflicting reports with some reports even saying you're not live that long. as our colleagues from the w.'s russian service spoke to all the insults lawyer dmitri didn't say who met since off the last time three days ago mr dean's s.s. objects and self uses a mix of drugs just to maintain consciousness even though he says cents off wasn't a good mood he's a physical condition was critical since self is currently imprisoned in the love of the place near the north pole and as the weather conditions of there have been a very hot heat to have had has obviously been very bad for us and solves chronic heart disease as about as for his kidney and liver and david what are you hearing in ukraine a month sense of condition. well obviously we're getting different reports on

one hand we do have these photos that have been published recently or just in the last twenty four hours these were posted on the facebook page of the human rights been so and it shows him standing up obviously that's a good sign but there are great concerns we're hearing from his lawyers from his family as you just said they say the end is near what i can say is there is a great deal of concern about his condition here he is very much a symbol of ukraine's ongoing struggle against what they say is russian aggression here the end station of crimea and the russian backed separatists in the east of the country and david he's serving as i mentioned a twenty year sentence for alleged terrorist attacks in crimea fence self says his imprisonment is politically motivated since off a political trip to the kremlin anyway. well that's obviously a question that can only answered within the crowd the walls of the kremlin the

view here is that the kremlin does see him as a threat he has been he is very outspoken he's a ukrainian who kept the citizenship after the annexation but he's also one of the ukrainians and he and others say it was sixty four other people who are have been imprisoned for political reasons many of them from crimea and are in fact crimean charge cars. and you need this thing and not just high profile support for send film scores including celebrities and rest in government say the french president in london must crawl but raise the issue again but not to me put him really that pressure have any bearing on this case do you think. well look i heard from a debit since office demanding the liberation of all ukrainian political prisoners in russia and some soft intends to take it to the bitter end if i have to die and they i have and i have to die she says but despite of the international pressure to don't think i don't think moscow would ever make such

a huge concession to mistress and self and in russia there are plenty of other petitions asking for a pardon less is in the one per cent of petitions are actually concede that the russian clemency commission works very very practically which means officials usually find formal reasons to refuse almost every plea for pog on the other hand the issue is now being discussed on a very very high level so are the expenses you know that the telephone call with the french president jacques rome later today could help one possible outcome could be the extradition of lexan saw from russia to france into a french prison which it would improve conditions of detention but that is just speculation at this point we have to wait and see what is the result of the phone call between putin and mccrone will be today later. the uterus chateau in moscow and david stern in kiev thank you both very much for your reporting. from berlin here

a nearby korean has made cycling more fun or more hazardous depending on how you look at it literally rather than a street or gently lane this one is all about curious and tight angles have a look. bilin is on a quest to make the german capital more bike friendly but does new bike lane seems to stem a more. i have never seen a bike lane like this. it's really difficult to stay in the leg but it's also part of. the new lane has left local residents in a bit of a spin. when i came here i couldn't believe how precisely the line had been painted. to tell us this is a joke but it looks totally absurd it's not really usable either for cyclists or

pedestrians. apparently the bike lane is the result of a communication problem with the contractor who painted the lane then it's peachtree from the pro cycling group fox and had found out that palin has a lot to learn from other european city i didn't mean it in cities that are just beginning to improve cycling like paris madrid or barcelona they're spending huge amounts of money and redesigning their infrastructure that's yet to happen in berlin. other cities are going to overtake it was. according to a bulletin city council member does exact lines will be repainted this time straight. talking with cyclists going to tour de france the window and are geared until must receive the hero's welcome when he returned to cardiff on thursday

a sea of supporters lined the streets to the city's casillas thomas in the rain as yellow jersey did the victory lap for thousands of fans to say major recognize his achievement followed his the first rush minute to win the tour de france and a thirty two year old is still in a state of. mind blowing. to know what to expect the reception was. just to see that the pride of people passing the passion. the people. just might go you know kind of expected from my family my wife. my mates and. the people i've never met and you know the little things that. brought their bikes and. just. congratulations to him and dad joins me now and guess how it's not a good day to be traveling with and that's right on friday europe's biggest budget carrier ryanair pilots have begun the coordinates its twenty four hour strike

across europe germany is likely to be the worst hit with two hundred fifty five cancellations of all its pilots in the aisle and germany belgium sweden and the netherlands have also walked off the job. it's the biggest industrial action ever to hit europe's biggest budget airline a child why airport in belgium and across europe staff are accusing ryanair of bad pay and bad treatment. you know it is only the national. who just doesn't respect john you know that's not the norm i was not. looking for. ryanair is pilots are striking across europe for twenty four hours as they demand higher salaries and better working conditions that's led to the cancellation of four hundred out of twenty four hundred scheduled flights affecting seventy thousand passengers. last how does that

balance should of told one of ryan as european based his last what's the situation there right now. well garrett it's actually pretty calm and quiet here it's been calm and quiet and very much under control all day so far which is exactly as was to be expected because this was a pre-announced strike the pilots that make it public about two weeks ago and ryan air has spent the last three days rebooking people so everything was very orderly no problems at all here but of course behind the scenes there are major problems for ryan air and they have to rethink their strategy and everything. this isn't the first time brian and pilots have gone on strike how effective are these strikes going to be. nobody knows for sure but it might very well be an effective strike this time because we've seen a lot of strikes at ryan in the last couple of weeks and ryan of course is already

know a very very unreliable airline which a lot of people won't book because you can never be sure if you after actually ever reach your destination so ryan air might really have to do something as c.e.o. michael o'leary has said hell freezes over before he would sign a contract with the unions and pay more and offer better working conditions but maybe he does that that choice anymore because the airline might just not be able to operate if it's going to be continue to be crippled by by strikes and of course if ryan air has to change its business model maybe the entire airline industry at least the cheap flight segment will have to rethink its business model. as well insert a photo port thank you very much. to. european markets are falling today on worries over turkey's economy the country's currency has hit another new love falling another five percent on friday after crashing below six liras to a dollar for the first time the lira has lost about half of its value since the

beginning of the year this comes amid strained ties with washington over the jailing of an american pastor and there are fears turkey's economy is overheating. for more on that story let's cross over to w. correspondent dorian jones in istanbul dorian how is every day life of the average turkish family affected by now. but i think the moment the main effect is psychological because for many turks they see the health of the economy hated by the strength of the currency obviously that is taking a pounding about going forward the big fear will be inflation is already experiencing double digit inflation and the fact now with the head. devaluation of the currency that that will stoke inflationary fires in the country turkey imports nearly all of its energy energy prices are set to go up by as much as thirty percent this winter it could be a lot more also many of turkey's products are the denominated in foreign currencies

all materials that is expected to have a further if a fake into the turkish economy this winter is expected already it has been very difficult now with this out of the currency things could get a lot worse and the fear is that turkey could be experiencing uncontrollable inflation toki in the ninety's experience triple digit inflation those memories are still there for many older turks and the fear is that this turkey could be in facing major inflationary problems going forward. history tells us the high inflation is an absolute toys for politicians do you think. this inflation has the potential of turning public opinion on the streets against the president or the one who's just been related. well that's very difficult to say president heard one speak in the early hours of morning gave a very nationalistic speech saying these people have their dollars but we have our

people and of gold that scene is very much a rallying a rallying of the flag and it does seem to a certain extent to be working prominent figures of the opposition have said this is a time for unity and you have to realize much of the media if not all of the mainstream media is now under the direct or in direct control of the president has been very little reporting on this currency crisis and certainly none critical so going forward at least in the new short term here the president could see this a way of running the country behind him but you have to realize that the bedrock of heard once fifteen years of success has been a strong economy which brought. many of his conservative supporters now they too have a vested interest in a strong economy the economy continues to go south he could pay a price going forward. during the government our so-called new economic plan later this afternoon what can we expect there briefly if you can. well no one knows everyone is waiting with bated breath but everyone knows what needs to be done

a major hike in interest rates yesterday people calling for five hundred basis points today thousand and also they're calling for an end to this u.s. turkish attentions if that happens that would take off the table the threat of financial sanctions from the u.s. these are seen as a key step to be taken at least to control the currency rout further for what they want a road map for economic stability and a reining in of inflation. in istanbul thank you. and here's a reminder of the top stories we're following for you going to tell you all expenses a fierce critic of the kremlin is said to be close to death on hunger strike in a russian jail france's president obama will mark on is due to raise the case with russia's vladimir putin today. and that's it today she was indeed of the news from berlin more news coming out the top of the hour don't forget you can get all the i just knew the formation around the clock on our website that's of course . dot com thanks very much for joining us.
