this is g.w. new swine flu from berlin tonight an exclusive look at the fight for survival in yemen for you has gained rare access to the war torn country and introduces us to a young doctor working 24 hour shifts to help the country's most vulnerable also coming up tonight in the battle over brags that the u.k. prime minister boris johnson issues a warning to parliament if lawmakers block is breaks his plan he says he'll call new elections and germany's far right a.s.d.f. celebrates gains in 2 regional elections we'll try
9:01 pm
a different germany party says it's time for mainstream parties to finally see the a.d.f. deep not as a pariah but as an even. i'm burnt off it's good to have you with us we begin tonight inside or in the seemingly never ending war that is yet now entering its 5th year at least $100.00 people have died in an airstrike by the saudi led coalition locals in the southwest of the country say that the dead were in a detention center used by the who the rebels to hold their own home it's of the head of the international red cross in yemen toward the side and said that he thought that the death toll would rise frank said that the center help around a 170 people but only 40 survived the saudi led coalition so. that it had attacked
9:02 pm
what it believed to be a military target united nations and the international committee of the red cross have condemned the attack. and now we are talking about a devastating war in yemen that has been raging since 2015 and it's far from over a correspondent funny the charge she joins me now and funny is one of the few journalists who has gained access to the country go inside and be able to come out and tell us what is going on inside funny it's good to see have you safe and sound here with us and again what is happening in yemen. yes 10 people in yemen you will probably get 10 different answers brand which has to do with a very volatile situation on the ground i'm talking right now specifically about the south of yemen where whatever is left of the yemeni government is operating most of what's left of the government is actually brought in from the exile in saudi arabia and you have this saudi let's call it that is officially saying that they are trying to help the yemeni government to drive to feast for the back from
9:03 pm
the north and basically backed the yemeni government but they are rifts within the saudi a coalition specific when it comes to the united arab emirates that is for example supporting the separatists in the south who are dreaming of a state in the south the way it was up to 990 says you can tell it's a very complex situation it's very very dangerous because you also have jihad is that are active in aden and around the interim capital since the war broke out and within this very volatile situation people are trying to go about their daily lives for example for. a young doctor i'm fresh graduates of medical studies that i have met a couple of weeks ago who says she's working unpaid and she is going to continue her job for several reasons let's listen in let's watch this report. things can change in seconds at this intensive care unit. this is john not she's 18 months old and has been diagnosed with. tricia. between life and death.
9:04 pm
by that did you request oxygen there is nothing the oxygen bottle and the room doesn't work. the doctor fatuma must improvise it's not the 1st time she has felt helpless steam inhalation is the only option available for jenna at the moment. it's not just now. her breathing is so 5. by the way. shift is just beginning. the oxygen bottle is delivered after all make it many children do not for fatuma the fact that oxygen cannot always be provided on time is depressing when she began her medical studies before the war shortages were unheard of i was feeling optimistic i was really looking forward to graduate but it's just so difficult to
9:05 pm
afford living even for doctors to consider you know what i've got here in the country happiness comes in small doses here this father is relieved his daughter is gaining some weight for now is there 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 malnourished children to this hospital once they arrive they face another problem 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 after 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
9:06 pm
not still working and just forget it all with you know all in the hospital and start a new day for life maybe but there she wants to continue her medical studies in germany her father a geologist used to live there in the 1980 s. puppet do you think the war neven will end and show me how you know that it will require a lot of time how long do you have to deal with this is nobody lives but we hope the war ends for children because the people are suffering and they are in bad shape there's no stability nothing nothing no salary no jobs the usual. we did future so bleak fatima doesn't know she will stay in yemen routine unpaid she wants to continue working as a doctor to help people but she also wants better opportunities for the possible side of human. story is about this one down here against
9:07 pm
all odds you were able to get her to open up her home she shared her story with you and you were telling me it was easier for her to do that because you're old woman exact because i was a female reporter in fact she told me when she asked me right away the camera person i'm going to come with is that a male or a female it was a camera man but he said ok that's fine as long as you're not a few not reporters so so that's fine and this is something i've also experienced in neighboring saudi arabia last year and at that especially when women are more keen to open up their lives to you because you are a woman because one of you are seeing the situation unfolding in yemen it's not like other challenges in yemen have come to hold like women like fighting or of course dream of going out with friends dream off being more independent she already very much is compared to a lot of friends that she has because as she says the parents are already quite open minded people that a lawyer to travel alone if she would just get a visa to germany she says and could continue her studies here in germany but yes
9:08 pm
that definitely was the case for me it made things easier if i can put it that way in a very very difficult situation because as you can see also i had to cover up in order to get to work there we know how difficult it is to get to the truth when we're reporting on any type of war situation big strongly so with yemen so now that you've been there what can you see about any any chance of an end to this conflict coming or are there any signs. i was hoping actually when i arrived because the situation aiden seemed to be let's put it that way it was like a temporary stability because when i arrived a couple of weeks ago it seemed that at least the solace of the yemenis stabilizing but just a few days later when i left. there was an attack. claimed by face in aden and where you realize you know there's no stability not for themselves definitely not for the north and read a question is what's going to bring this peace process back to the agenda that
9:09 pm
started last year actually in stockholm in december 28th and since then we didn't really see much progress on the ground so i have to say unfortunately at this point we will not see any issues there any time soon because the elements involved in this conflict and their competing interests are getting more complex by the day and that's difficult it's a complicated story it's difficult to also keep the world's attention on it all the time but excellent reporting from the future thank you and now here in europe british prime minister boars johnson has backed off at least for now calling a snap general election after holding an emergency cabinet meeting at the start of a crucial week for the process some lawmakers including official opposition leader jeremy corbyn are pushing for a parliamentary vote that would ban. postpone britain's departure from the european union in october but mr johnson said a vote for
9:10 pm
a delay would chop the legs out from under the u.k.'s position and make further negotiations impossible. i say to show our friends in brussels that we are united in our purpose in peace should vote with the government against cool beans pointless delay. i don't want an election you don't want an election let's get on with the people's agenda let's get right seat done by. the 31st thank you very much. or you could hear the protests and the booing there in the background our correspondent over the so she is in london she's covering the story for us and we asked her if m.p.'s who oppose a new deal brags that if they will heed to johnson's call and vote with his government in crucial votes this week here's what she had to say. they've built up quite a head of steam throughout the last days and there is an almighty poll struggle
9:11 pm
going on once again over breaks it between the prime minister and we still remember trees of me who had to sort of fit to survive this several times and palm and cheer in the back of house and we know that there are about 20 tory rebels if one of them is the former chancellor of the a check a full from and who is in that position interests amaze government and they all say there is no mandate for no deal breck's it it's moderate conservatives who say we do not want this and we really have to keep boris johnson from going that way from crèche written out of c.e.o. and so everybody here expects them to sort of take over the engine to tomorrow if they vote because boris johnson said he does not want an election botch that doesn't mean there is not going to be an election so observers here in london are
9:12 pm
pretty pretty clear in their opinion that they say he just said this to sort of tell everybody that if he would be forced into election into an election it would be their fault it would be the fault of labor of course and it would be the fault of tory rebels a he would then not have another way out and had to call the election and everybody expects this to happen either late on wednesday all maybe on thursday that boris johnson will be right here in parliament and say yes we go to the belts. so there was no use for provisional reporting in london mel to the united states people in the states of florida georgia and south carolina have been issued orders to evacuated as hurricane dorian approaches as many as a 1000000 people could be forced to leave their homes the powerful storm is currently pounding the northern bahamas it is forecast to hit america's eastern seaboard. on tuesday. returning home to
9:13 pm
a scene of devastation look at this green you have everything. everything down hurrican dorian's advance across the northern bahamas has been slow and for them plus clocking winds of nearly 300 kilometers per hour it's left a trail of destruction flattening buildings crushing cars and downing power lines. a storm surge trickett severe flooding across parts of the i'm unchained. for full cost as expect arrian to remain a category 5 storm as it moves towards the u.s. of a night into tuesday the president of the trump has already declared a state of emergency is. one of the largest we have seen so the actual results hundreds of miles well water for the item to swallow and you always were eventually makes with all. their predictions differ about when and where that landfall will be communities from florida to the carolinas are preparing for the west many have been stocking up on supplies and shuttering up homes and buildings and what's become
9:14 pm
a familiar ritual of the hurricane season. well now to the politics of change and the politics of the extreme in eastern germany voters have been reacting to the results of sunday's state elections in brandenburg in saxony the far right alternative for germany party which is known as the a d became the 2nd strongest party in both of those states brady reports from saxony state capital dresden. after months of anticipation the dust is settling here in dresden the result of sunday's election was yet another blow to germany's established big tent parties but anglo-american c.d.u. still retained its 30th title as sex and the strongest party. the friendly sex anyone said state premie a mission. for many people here interested in sex in the state capitol it was somewhat every leaf that almost 3 quarters of aces didn't cast their ballots for
9:15 pm
the far right a.f.d. . now faced with the reality of the i.a.f. deus ex and the 2nd strongest party locals seem to be taking a pragmatic approach as. it was a vote of the people have something to say whether i like it or not i didn't vote for the day and now i'm going to see how the established parties deal with this and what solutions they can find. the. people have always voted for the c.d.u. in the s.p.d. and now this is a consequence so they can be taken seriously compared to germany's or the so-called new states which were formally inform germany things are going well in saxony the economy is strong the strongest in the former east and unemployment here is by no means the highest in germany and yet 27 percent of voters here in saxony cust the ballots for the far right. but despite the strength of the f.t. at the polls all of saxon his parties have ruled out forming
9:16 pm
a coalition with them. and. i think it's a shame that the result can be respected. that the c.p.u. if he won't sort of coalition. which party did you vote for that's why i voted for the a.f.p. what was your personal reason for why in the. first and foremost because of the flood of refugees here and saxony were not used to that at all and that's cos the people across germany. since 2015 the number of foreigners in saxony has increased by one percent but even non a.f.d. voters can sympathise with some of the issues beyond the migration debate. and you see the problems 1st and foremost in the rule areas. the circumstances are people have to live in there are catastrophe. and the entire infrastructure has fallen by the wayside. saxony has made its voice heard now raters from across
9:17 pm
germany's political spectrum waiting to see if the government is listening. well i'm joined tonight by frank christiane handle he is a member of the a d. and of berlin's city parliament he used to be a member of the social democrats here in germany mr good to have you on the show tonight let's talk let's talk numbers. 25 percent is what your party got in both of these regional elections to winning 25 percent it doesn't give you a victory or a mandate. and the if they had been predicted to come in 1st in these elections yesterday do these results would you say do they mean that the mainstream parties were tougher than you expected well i thought i think that the mainstream parties are making a cartel of power cartel against us and the voters will notice this in the next 34 weeks because we're going to have another election and during and so i think the voters will notice that we wish to be excluded. i think it's good that we were came
9:18 pm
in 2nd and we had a little bit more in saxony where the c.d.u. really was supposed to turn a little bit to the right because there is one. stream of the party would which is more cooperative is a of the prime minister of this kind of this states that we do not want to touch if he so we have the untouchables and this is going to fail well ever be good or to come in 2nd place i mean as you say no one wants to join forces with you and govern with you so you can't deliver on any policy promises because you're not going to be in in government so the votes that you received yesterday when you say there are more protest votes instead of votes for your party where we've seen that we have a lot of protest votes but our program is convincing and. from election to election we've seen more voters vote from for us due to the program not for the for
9:19 pm
the candidates but for the program for the party itself i want to ask you about that do you see your party as part of this of what's been called a glow. bull nativist way akin to the election of donald trump is president of the us britain in the u.k. are you really are you related to all of this we are not related directly to them of course because no direct relations but of course that is we would say that our programs and to globalist it's not nationalist but it's just understanding that modernization and the economy. make problems to the people and they want to sort of have a slow a pass what's going to happen regarding change and we do not want to hand over the serenity of our nation to superstructure like in brussels. i'd like to show our viewers something that you read tweeted yesterday which caught my attention maybe
9:20 pm
we can pull that you read tweeted a tweet that reads nasa admits that climate change occurs because of changes in earth's solar orbit raise your hand if you think liberals are wrong about fossil fuels coal zing global warming. now that is the tweet of a climate change denier are you and your party is that what 25 percent of the voters decided yesterday was devoted for a party of climate change deniers you can deny climate change we have climate change but the problem is is it's manmade or not and we see a great. propaganda from the green party which was very successful in the big climate campaign in the european elections and now we've seen that even the growing the green party is losing and there's a lot of people not only f.t. voters that's the propaganda that's what i've got on the it's only it's almost a religious belief of the idea that man can change it's not for 2 degrees in
9:21 pm
science that's what it's not science it's the i.c.c. there's also a. the minorities who are still 9 this and i tell you you should have read to galileo galilei if there's only one person who is right who says no then the 99 percent who say yes they will not succeed because science is not a question of quantity ledgers but just what you're saying you're saying that the scientists who say that climate change can't be caused by man are part of the past conspiracy that they all say i'm not talking about conspiracy but i see the green party in germany and leo posing this direction really wants to. make people think that policy can really change the world climate and this is bullshit for a story in germany is for a sponsor for just i think their point to percentage of c o 2 and there's nothing to change really in order to save the world if they say let's go from extreme
9:22 pm
weather to extremists and the relationship that your party has with right wing extremists it has come under increased scrutiny earlier today your party leader mr galland said that there's a clear line for the a d i mean do you think that voters saw that there was a clear line in that when they saw that line they realize that maybe they shouldn't vote for the if they did it cost the voters i think it did cost us voters because the other party set in order to. keep the out of the parliament give us the votes so i think that c.d.o. and saxony became god's votes from the s.p.d. and the greens in order to keep us out but i always state and this is true for us we are not a right wing or extremist party we are the center right party which the c.d.u. the christian immigrants were about 20 years ago and you see in the great internal problems within the c.d.u. and there are people who want to align with us make
9:23 pm
a coalition and just see that especially in saxony that almost 2 thirds of the population want a conservative liberal government and the c.d.u. of today there's not conservative anymore right from christian hunter with the berlin if the restaurant we appreciate you taking the time thought with us tonight thank you much. all right let's go to sports now in iran striker arm alucard has called on football of forwards to do more to combat racism because he was subjected to monkey chants before taking a penalty against cagliari in their italian league match on sunday which into one to one other footballers have sent messages of support to the kaku dortmund for example saying that the racism quote just has to stop. racist taunting of a black footballer in the saudi in capital colliery unmistakable but sadly
