given dry access to this war torn country our correspondent needs a young doctor working to help its most wonderful citizens. close in support the german bundesliga footboard agreement battle to their 1st win of the season against a paltry alex but as we bring you all the goals and overreaction. hello and welcome i'm on with that shima germany's mean political parties are meeting today to assess the fallout from 2 election state elections at the weekend with source surge and support for the far right the alternative for germany or d. emerged as the 2nd strongest force in both saxony and brandenburg in the east of the country mainstream parties managed to hang on to power in both states but the
2:02 pm
results are recent questions about how they should deal with e.f.t. . now on a great clamp kind of ballot chance to make a success and as head of the c.d.o. conservative party spoke to the media just a short while ago this is what she had to say about her party's election results with higher tone with optimists most with the right composure courage and optimism we will tackle future issues and we won't be divided in the process will build bridges that is our standard. with this approach i'm convinced the residents of saxony. to. his election victory makes it clear that it's not about making excuses. it's about it dealing with the real issues should be the 2 that we have to bring people together and to answer the tough questions people have about the future it's about and for can we in fact fall in dimension to truth here that.
2:03 pm
and that was on good comic con about the c.d.u. party leader and with me this to do is a senior political correspondent hans hans ve been listening to what i wanted to come khan and said what do you make of her comments and and this very difficult election result for the c.d.u. bhatti well there's certainly no euphoria in the christian democratic party amongst the conservatives they didn't manage to hold on to being the strongest party in saxony but they took very very serious losses. they have been trying to assess what that means for the party and frankly the statements that i'm going to get come come by has been making this morning doesn't show any new initiative any new ideas at the moment what they might possibly do in order to gain back some of the support that they have lost to the far right what she's been talking about is pushing forward the kind of programs that they have been developing anyway on climate change for instance all in digitalization not really new initiatives that are going
2:04 pm
to i think and food is a lot of voters at the same time you have to say the party the conservatives are facing a lot of change internally within the party i'm going to marco the chance of the as it that she is not going to stand for reelection she's handed over dealership 2 and they could come combo the party internally is trying to decide what direction to take from here on and there is quite a bit of tension between factions in the party that would like to push it more towards a center right position and others would like to push it more toward a sense of center left position towards the green party as it were those kind of tensions have not really given any result church and we don't know exactly where the party is heading at the moment at the moment there's still a lot of so searching going on and no direction emerging and how much pressure do the election results put on a day to come she's only been cd you bought a leader for 10 months is i think she has been on the spot as it were since she.
2:05 pm
took over for i'm going from i'm going to america we'll have to say obviously it's not a very easy job to take over from somebody like i'm going to america and she has been watched very closely obviously in the last 10 months she's recently been made defense minister i think in order to raise her profile that it will because she has made quite a lot of apps and she's been made a lot of mistakes and has been criticized publicly quite a lot i think also within her own party she hasn't yet managed to assert authority to find her line and to push through that that law and she's being challenged in turning to god out of people so the party as a whole and she herself has a very uncertain stage at the moment and i think to a large extent also concerned with and internal matters not so much with matters of developing policy and you know she did talk about actually fighting for every vote and given that the c.d.u. has suffered record losses in both these recent elections what would the see do you
2:06 pm
need to do to actually win back some of the support which has been bleeding into the father right if tea party is i think you can take the example of the leader of the c.d.u. in saxony. he had a an election campaign where he really went to the grassroots he crisscrossed that regional state he spoke to thousands of people he participated in barbecues in town hall discussions in sports events and so on and he was really very present amongst the people trying to take make to make himself and his presence felt and to accept discussion also from political opponents i think that was the direction that all major political parties will want to take in all more giving the people more of a feeling of contact between the router's or the ruling the british and charge of the actual people because there is quite a widespread feeling especially in eastern germany amongst people that they have been left behind by. the ruling party is that their interests are not being
2:07 pm
considered and that politics and policies are made at a very high level that doesn't really look dahlan towards the people on the ground huns from the day of the senior political correspondent thank you very much feel analysis. listen take a look at some of the stories making news. the us china trade dispute has escalated both sides adding. exports the united states is imposing levies on a distant $112000000000.00 of chinese exports like headphones speakers and shoes why beijing is retaliating retaliates on $75000000000.00 of u.s. goods and u.s. crude oil. hostilities a ferry not on the israel lebanon the lebanese militant group hezbollah fired a volley of anti-tank missiles at an israeli army base on sunday israel responded by shelling a village in lebanon no casualties were reported. thousands of people have joined

in and rally in pakistan is the 4th week of protests in the city following india's move to strip the most in which he territory and push me off its autonomy. the u.s. states of florida georgia and south carolina have issued evacuation orders as hurricane dorian approaches as many as a 1000000 people could be forced to leave their homes the powerful storm is forecast to hit the eastern seaboard of the united states by tuesday jordan is currently pounding the northern bahamas. hurricane dorian slammed into the southwest as a huge category 5 storm packing winds of nearly 300 kilometers an hour officials. up to 7 meters high could be life threatening in the low lying island chain bahamian prime minister hubert minister said parts of the island where dorian made landfall were already flooded. with water.
2:09 pm
the difference as to the beginning of the street. that destroy us whether officials call dorian quote the strongest hurricane in modern records for the northwestern bahamas the storm's huge size and power become apparent when seen from space. like indy's not say images film from the international space station meteorologist say dorian might be back out to sea away from the eastern u.s. but it might also slam headlong into the southeastern coast. we just don't know when exactly it's going to turn north it could turn north obviously we want to have that turn as quickly as possible to minimize the impacts on florida but if you look at the forecast it absolutely could impact the coast and turn once it hits the
2:10 pm
coast and so we've got to prepare for that eventuality as here in florida people all along the southeast coast are preparing for the impact of one of the fiercest hurricanes for a long time. and try to coalition fighting in yemen has hit a detention center killing at least 100 prison this that's according to officials for the who group and look and see the building was being used to detain people opposed to the who he's the head of the international red cross and given to the site and suggested the death toll could rise from. the cent to head to 170 and only 40 had survived the coalition said it had attacked a military target. to the devastating one yemen has been raging since 2015 and is far from over one funny for job was just in yemen and she joins me now in the studio welcome funny not many journalists actually managed to get into yemen share
2:11 pm
your insights with us as to what is happening that the situation and we testified for the ground in fact and then once you enter. interim capital ever since the capital. has been taken over by the. 5 years ago the interim capital is facing a lot of challenges a lot of tensions when you pass through the checkpoints you really wonder who is in charge is it the government the government is it the. protists were dreaming of an allstate is it part of the saudi luck coalition who is it's really people waking up the other morning are wondering who is in charge today and given that situation within this conflict and this this in stable situation i've met a very young doctor fatima her name 26 year old and she said she's doing this job being a doctor in this public hospital but she had a completely different expectations when she started her medical study 6 years ago before the war started let's have a look about 40. things can change in seconds at this
2:12 pm
intensive care unit in aden this is jenna she's 18 months old and has been diagnosed with and malnutrition. between life and death at a 3rd of what either of us did you request oxygen there is nothing the oxygen bottle and the room doesn't work in which. the doctor fatuma must improvise it's not the 1st time she has failed helpless steam inhalations is the only option available for the moment. it's not just now paralytic concrete see her breathing is so flat so things are sitting right away. shift is just beginning the oxygen bottle is delivered after all john not make it many children do not prefer the fact that oxygen cannot always be provided on time
2:13 pm
is depressing when she began her medical studies before the war shortages were unheard off i was feeling optimistic i was really looking forward to graduate but it's just so difficult even for dr hilfiker lived up here in. happiness comes in small doses here this father is relieved his daughter is gaining some weight for now they're not enough doctors and most of those here must work unpaid. hospitals cannot cope such as the lack of food in yemen that brings a lot of people especially children to this hospital once they arrive they face another problem the lack of medical supplies and there's not enough space simply the r.t.l. belts for these children. these children are new patients waiting in the hallway for admission. 14 i was not prepared for this level of stress
2:14 pm
after a 24 hour shift she finally find sanctuary at home photography helps or to unwind at the age of 26 she finds her job overwhelming it makes me feel that i am not still working and just forget it all with you know all in the hospital i'm starting a new life but there she wants to continue her medical studies in germany her father a geologist used to live there in the 1980 s. puppet i think the war never and will end. a lot of time how long then you have to deal with this is nobody in their lives but we hope the war ends for a children because the people are suffering and they are in bad shape there's no stability nothing nothing no salary no jobs the youth has lost much of the in with the future so bleak fatima doesn't know how long she will stay in yemen working on paid she wants to continue working as
2:15 pm
a doctor to help people but she also wants better opportunities of her own if possible outside of yemen. so funny how tell us about the humanitarian situation in yemen and why our brave young doctors they are not being paid for their work right well this is just one example of what's going on in the country to situation is dire all over the country especially in the north which is controlled by who in fact the world food program has temporarily suspended its aid because they claim that the roof the spear stealing the food and selling it or sharing it within their fighters now wave comes to she says she's working on paid because she's committed to what she's doing that she started studying and medical studies she made a commitment for a life so she says if she doesn't get up in the morning who's going to get up for these children but also in terms of experience just pragmatically she says in a public hospital she will get much more experience than in a private hospital because those also exist but hardly anybody of course can afford
2:16 pm
to go to a private hospital or spittal and why the situation is this dire and getting even worse because let's not forget there's also a cholera outbreak that the country suffering is not just just the family but so many other problems putting and adding an extra layer of challenges in the country what all these is happening on the ground people really feel abandoned not just by their own government or what's left of it but also internationally they feel even though there is international aid sort of channels towards yemen it really doesn't arrive supposed to arrive because there's so on the other so many other challenges that this country is facing so yes these people really feel left behind and they just also feel that nobody really cares about them and a war that's been going on already of 5 years and the conflict in yemen is viewed as a proxy war with regional act is is there any sign of this conflict ever drawing to a close unfortunately i see it stands now it's not just a what's called a proxy war between saudi arabia and iran and
2:17 pm
a civil war between of the yemeni government and of the yemeni government being supported by the saudi led coalition there's also a rift. i knew from clients opening up the separatists for example they're dreaming of a very own state southern yemen as it was up until 990 so as you can tell there are so many elements in place here d.c. traditionally so fluid that even the question of whether soon there will be any peace that is already very very hard to tell at this point no one can tell what's going to happen that's the only thing what we see on the ground at this point the things are getting more complex and difficult by the day for the people in yemen. just back from yemen thank you very much for your insights. hong kong's for democracy protesters attempted to hold a general strike today with thousands of hong kong university and school students swapping classes for demonstrations at a hospital staff formed

with a powerful header on his debut to bring things level just shy of the hour. and in 86 minutes frankfurt completed to comeback gonzalo pass here in syria turning the game on its head and securing the home side a 2nd home win of the season. so here's a quick look at the going to sega table after a match day 3 army lab siggy lead the way with 3 wins from a 3 by hand and now 2nd after hammering lines on saturday when dortmund's also lost and only on. in the bottom half we see mines are rooted to the foot of the table with graeme in a moving up after their 1st points on sunday. and getting away from football infidelities a shot electric has won his 1st of a formula one grand prix in belgium but his victory was tense with sadness after a good friend antoine bet was killed in
