Alarms all rommany watching aljazeera live my headquarters here in doha also coming up new hope that a decade long dispute has come to an end rival palestinian factions hamas and fatah signed a reconciliation deal. The kenyan government bans protests as it decides what will happen next to its president ial rerun. Also spain celebrates its national day as the political crisis deepens over the future of the region of catalonia. Out of the u. S. And the United States has sent a notice to unesco saying it will withdraw from the key u. N. Cultural agency says americas decision to end its. The ship is a loss to the u. N. Family and multilateralism and the u. S. State Department Says washington is concerned with mounting costs lack of reforms that has accused the organization of anti israel bias the paris based cultural scientific and Educational Organization was established after World War Two for more on this lets go straight over to mike hanna whos in new york how much of a blow is this to your nest go and do the United States really care about it. Well on one level here what weve got is a formality to the u. S. Membership of unesco was suspended it has not paid any dues or any membership fees since two thousand and eleven when the a freeze was imposed by the Obama Administration on the funding of the u. S. Go so in a way it is a formality the u. S. Had not effectively been part of the organization but on another level there as we heard from the director general unesco irina bokova this is very much a blow to multilateralism its being perceived within the u. N. As just yet another step in the us under the Tramp Administration withdrawing from the rest of the world becoming a National Center country and losing interest in any form of International Engagement this is the way this is being interpreted though as was mentioned the u. S. Has given specific reasons saying that they are issues of reform not being carried through and that of course that is they allege an anti israel bias within unesco this has been an ongoing claim by the United States and indeed by israel itself mongst some of the issues that have been brought up as unescos decision to declare the west bank city of hebron a World Heritage site last year this was rejected by israel seen by the u. S. As an anti against an act against israel and one must note too that there are more than twenty sites within the us itself which are unesco heritage sites sites ranging from the statue of liberty to the grand canyon to all sorts of areas in between this is an important factor in terms of raising tourist revenue on these sites so there are many many problems emerging out of this us decision but as i said ultimately given the lack of us and gauge when since two thousand and eleven this is very much a formality of course work you are seeing the u. S. As you say withdraw from unesco withdraw from the Climate Change agreement made in paris and it one wonders how americans on the ground will actually feel knowing that they are becoming more insular old or again do they really care. Well critics of the trumpet ministration and particularly democrats in congress have argued very strongly that there is a process of it de internationalization under way they are deeply concerned about this issue of losing or fracturing relationships with traditional allies and on that to know that weve just heard from the french ambassador here at the u. N. He says he deeply regrets his decision and says that unesco is all about ideals and values and deep within the d. N. A. Of france and the u. S. Is a striving to better these ideals and values he says that america the world needs the u. S. Now more than ever before and importantly to the u. S. Needs the world but this is part of a process according to many at the u. N. And also many it within the u. S. As i mentioned there have to be nice type of statements made by democrats on the hill that this is part of a process of us walking away from International Engagement this is something that is a seminal matter in terms of the u. S. Position on the global stage remembering to we may be having coming up within the next day or so a decision on iran which will further fracture relations with traditional allies which will further drive the u. S. From any central position on the world stage that it once held while for the moment thank you. Palestines rival factions have signed a deal on political reconciliation. Have agreed for the Palestinian Authority to take full of minister to have control of gaza by december the first theyve been meeting in the egyptian capital cairo to discuss the formation of a National Unity government. Brokered by egypt started on choose day palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas has welcomed the outcome of the cairo talks and has asked his government to implement the agreement. Be completely agreed to the concept of supporting the government which will work normally according to law and of the systems to administer the authorities and ministries without exception and to supervise all the crossings whether with the israeli side or the egyptian side which is the rafah crossing. Despite the fact that we have some different views of different political points we have different disputes but this will never change the fact that we are brothers we are brothers in religion we are brothers in nationality we are brothers in the National Interest we suffer the same we have the same future we need to find a way for a unity of our people to secure the ambitions of our people. Well are a force that sent this update from ramallah in the occupied west bank. Well in a recorded statement it has been played on Egyptian Television weve heard from the two delegation heads and what appears to be the case is a disagreement among other things will center on the rafa crossing between egypt and gaza the Palestinian Authority delegation head saying that the p. A. Would assume full control of that of that of running that by november the first at the latest other things weve been hearing that thousands of hamas officials have been providing Government Services in the ten years but they or at least some of them will be brought under the p. A. Or forty within the next four months and that some three thousand Palestinian AuthoritySecurity Officers they will be merged with the security that has been provided by hamas in gaza in the last ten years as for people in gaza theyre just desperate for this to work. When we used to hear about any reconciliation efforts we would think immediately of the failure of it but we hope this time is different unity could at least solve the power crisis and bring happiness to the gazan people. Weve had enough eleven years of suffering without electricity no medicine for people no travelling we want to live like other nations one question that remains open so far is the future of hamas military wing before these talks said that its fate was entirely off the table in these discussions but the palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas said that he wouldnt accept any lebanon style situation where theres a hezbollah equivalent providing an alternative center of political and any military power in gaza or it may be that there is some less formal agreement in the works on that front those are the indications that was sent in the run up to these talks whereby they would remain quiet underground and that if there were to be any use of military force in the future that would have to be the subject of National Consensus as far as the egyptians are concerned this is a success and they want the palestinian factions all of them to meet again in cairo on the van the twenty first. Turkeys president says its unacceptable for the u. S. To sacrifice its Strategic Partnership for an ambassador west at their birth the one blames john boehner is for the diplomatic visa or with the u. S. The u. S. Ambassador to turkey had criticized the turkish government over the arrest of a u. S. Consular Staff Members the detention last week of a Turkish National working for the u. S.

Opposition. Whove been hired. Third have been hired to infiltrate their Peaceful Demonstrations theyve also accused our police of using Excessive Force a couple of years a couple of match a couple of weeks ago so here we go the deal of Police Beating up University Students inside the lecture hall yesterday in protest thinking more people were injured some have been hospitalized with Bullet Wounds they blame the police so are the opposition like i said saying that the police are also are using Excessive Force the Kenya NationalHuman Rights Commission has also come out with a report saying that immediately after the president was declared we nine or gassed there was some protests and.

Waging its operations or campaign against the rohingya which has seen more than half a million row hinge or flee across the border into bangladesh but what was really strange about the speech is that she called on donations from the public to help in those rebuilding efforts basically asking people to give their monies to help rebuild the homes that the military has just destroyed over the last six weeks of this campaign but those donations will also go will go to all communities in iraq and say not just to the row hinge or but as as we know the military operations are continuing just on wednesday just yesterday the uns human rights chief had called for an end to the military operations in iraq and state he came out with a damning report about the military operations in iraq and said against the road hinder calling it a well organized coordinated and Systematic Campaign to expel the row him and prevent them from ever coming back and that includes reports of indiscriminate killings mass rape and the burning of homes the very homes that now on the cheese calling on donations to help rebuild now on that International Criticism on this report and sung switchy did not directly address this particular report but it she did acknowledge that there has been what it what she is calling international that we need to understand that there are International Criticisms but. That nobody knows our country better than. The development of our country more than we do so she didnt really. Address many of the criticisms but instead said that she preferred people to focus on getting action getting work done. For the only other things that update. In me and.

First in pomp and ceremony in a grand show of unity in madrid on what is known as its countrys national day but spains deep political divide over catalonia has independence referendum has yet to be resolved cattle and leader. Has been given until monday to say if hes declaring independence a decision that could see direct rule imposed by madrid on the region Laurence Leamer reports. If the last fortnight hadnt been dramatic enough the spectacle of national day provided the finishing touch madrid laid it on thick the whole military display the flags of the regions used as an opportunity to say to the cattle lands just look how united we are nobody wants your independence the crowd of course loyal supporters of king and country. Today we celebrate the day of spain which is the day of all spanish people but theres a group of us spaniards who are bent on breaking up our shared country. They should understand youve got to learn you that we belong to one country which is spain and not just a republic which they are pushing for. For the first time in thirty years a National Police were invited to rapturous applause. The government said the decision to all of them came after the barcelona attack in august this is of course the same National Police which on referendum day tear gassed and fired rubber bullets at Spanish Citizens in catalonia. Credibly provocative if madrid wanted to rub the capsule noses in that does this is how you do it. In barcelona the Pro Independence faction held its own protest march it was tiny compared to madrid theyre on the back foot now the splits in the movement being exploited by the National Governments but how they hated the spanish National Police being celebrated by madrid for them. I mean its shocking as the National Police are Occupying Forces its as if they sent in the tanks we dont want them here theyre not our police force from a government that does not represent us. So much it knows it has the catalan president in a trap now whichever way he decides on the independence question he risks losing part of his base on this day its not like the dream was in a triumphant mood. More recently al jazeera in madrid. Officials in liberia say provisional results in the president ial election are expected on thursday there is likely a runoff will be required as the winning candidate will need to have more than fifty percent of the vote twenty people are vying to replace president Ellen Johnson sirleaf she was africas first female leader and is stepping aside after nearly twelve years in office. U. S. President donald trump has denied reports he wants to dramatically increase the size of the countrys Nuclear Arsenal u. S. Media published a report citing three and named officials from knowledge policy differences between himself and Top Republicans in his cabinet and congress but hes rejecting claims he sought a ten fold increase in the u. S. His stock of Nuclear Weapons there was use fake news by n. B. C. Which gives a lot of fake news lately and its frankly disgusting the way the press is able to write whatever they want to write. The table people have been confirmed dead from wildfires in the u. S. State of california bringing the total to twenty three but hundreds of other people remain missing with high winds picking up its even more difficult to contain the flames of those who pulls on from los angeles. High winds low humidity and dry brush the ingredients of californias fire disaster are simple all they need is a spark get that ignition and you dont get that if you dont get that innocent put out right away then those in the conditions that allow a wildfire to spread really uncontrollably hot winds from the desert blow eastward every october just as the forest and brush is at its trius many wildfires are almost impossible to contain with winds of up to one hundred sixty Kilometers Per Hour propelling the flames along fire experts say while brush fires are inevitable the destruction they cause is not its going to be far easier cheaper and effective to reengineer our homes and communities than the try to reengineer the forest if you just do one thing. Replace rooftops with nonflammable materials like a metal roof that alone can increase the probability of a home surviving a wildfire by ninety to ninety five percent for more than a century the conventional wisdom was to fight forest fires at almost all costs the consequence it has allowed the underbrush and dry fuel to build up making fires burn with even greater intensity what we need to be doing is working with wildfires not fighting against them. The whole war on wildfire paradigm is complete distortion and were just throwing lots of blood and treasure into absolute folly making war on nature is essentially what its about firefighters are doing their best there are several thousand firefighters on the line right now we have firefighters from throughout california san diego to knowing more but Scientists Say those who have built their homes and businesses in harms way cant count on firefighters to save them theres always a lag time in these fires between the time that the fire starts and the time that they can get people out of the way getting resources in to start to protect against it and its in that lag time that people in that lag time that a lot of the bad things happen a new approach in how people should deal with nature along with changes in planning and Building Design could help keep things from going from bad to worse rob zero los angeles. State flooding in vietnam has killed at least the state flooding in vietnam has killed at least thirty seven people and left dozens of others missing the floods were triggered by a tropical depression that hit Central Vietnam on choose day bringing heavy rain to much of the region the vietnam Disaster Management all thought he says eighteen thousand homes have been destroyed or submerged the volcano in the southwest of japan has erupted for the first time in six years doc a volcano has been spewing ash and smoke almost two kilometers into the sky ashes fall and at least four cities and towns in busy akki prefecture School Students have been told to wear helmets and masks on their way in and out of villages near the volcano.
