As well did not lead into your art or further further by the earthquake. Basically our aftershocks that. Would happen after the main quake hit. What we are doing today or whats important today is that to respond quickly to the people who were affected on the iranian side or important since our colleagues in the iranian red crescent have already deployed yesterday night to. Rescue. Around the hundreds and some before rescue Rapid Response teams are now on the ground providing medical supplies blankets tents and other needed facilities to help the people who are injured or to find the people who are still under the rubble whats also important in such a case is that people which rest their memories and how to deal with earthquakes that thats happening in iran right now through this National Society that is really making really red cross and also the government to spreading information now to deal with the earthquake another victim that is usually forgotten are the people who are left on the the rubble and they need to be basically a proper management of. Needs to take place in such a situation where people are matched with the families so that the return to the families that belong to a normal snatch happens we are still receiving further information on whats happening on the ground but there is always that is all we have up to the moment or at mr house we thank you very much for your time and bringing us up to speed with what you are hearing from both sides of the border but especially in iran vals house joining us live from baghdad thank you well lets go to our correspondent and ron karnow hes joining us from the iraqi capital baghdad and ralph hello howard giving us the situation in iran and iran where it is very hard for Emergency Services to to get. Thats absolutely right because of those very closes because of the landslides because of a number of issues but the iranians have already responded very rapidly sadly this is something that theyre actually used to doing this is a very size of an active region one of the most seismically seismically active regions in the world so the iranians have a plan in place theyve already set up field hospitals reports that at least four have been set up already theyve moved in heavy equipment to try to get to those people that are trapped underneath the rubble also what were hearing is the head of the Iranian Revolutionary guard corps is encouragement show right now hes directing operations but we are also hearing that one of the main natural gas plants that has been shut down for safety reasons thats going to have an impact as well clearly gas is something that people used to cook with so cooking is going to be an issue and it is really the simple things like that that really affect people also is a very cold region right now is approaching so they use that gas for heating now were hearing Something Like seventy thousand people have been displaced around that area thats going to be a challenge for the iranian authorities as well and what about the situation and iraq didnt sound like things were as bad on the iraqi side of the border but people are much less used to earthquakes where you are. Absolutely right were hearing that at least seven people have been killed and maybe some three hundred injuries up in the kurdistan region where the epicenter of the quake was here in baghdad where i was theres a lot of panic a lot of scared people when it took place around nine eighteen on sunday night i was in my hotel room and it swayed from left to right for the first couple of seconds i thought this was a bomb and thats what most people pull and then as it went on for about a minute realized it was an earthquake now going down and speaking to people there was just a sense of shock baghdad has never experienced anything like this ever people are now afraid that earthquakes may well come to this or. Promised body has issued a statement hes trying to reassure his citizens saying that hes in touch with all of the relevant authorities that theyre all that theyre in control that they know what theyre doing that baghdad and the surrounding areas and indeed most of iraq is actually safe but like i say there is some devastation up in the kurdish region and then till they do their assessments we wont know exactly what that devastation is all right and ron thank you very much for that finale that some wrong with the very latest is joining us from baghdad.

Were live in djibouti there are three thousand six hundred tons of medical supplies meant for the call it out relief operation as well as food for model noreast yemeni children as well as other stuff like collapse of all that water tongues and Water Purification tablets that a much needed in yemen but are stuck here and ive been stuck here for the past week when the blockade the imports by the coalition that by so there be a husband or aid agencies such as the unicef and World Health Organization the ready they have been usually cutting some of these relief material using dolls but now have been forced to hire much bigger ships to try and make up for the last time and is sure that there is not business rupture in the provision of aid to the people of yemen something they say if the delay continues could lead to massive most whole lives mama when can we start expecting this aid to start making its way into yemen.

P. s have been given three weeks to prove theyre not citizens. In the program. A crime against humanity Amnesty International details the Syrian Governments. Campaign to target civilians and time football bowl champions in danger of missing out on the next world cup tatyana will be here with the details and. Lebanons Prime Minister says he is free in riyadh and says hell return home within days i. D. D. Has spoken publicly for the First Time Since unexpectedly announcing his announcing his resignation in saudi arabia more than a week ago saying a hold of a ports from beirut. This is the first time saud how did he makes public remarks since his resignation announcement more than a week ago from the saudi capital riyadh he sought to dispel reports that he had been detained the well being of lebanons Prime Minister and his freedom of movement have been open to question in a live interview he denied he was forced to resign and said he is a free man and. I submitted my resignation i know its not a normal process for a Prime Minister but i had to take some security measures to return back safe and sound the circumstances behind his decision to step down united a deeply divided country earlier people used. To show solidarity with. Some lebanese may now be convinced that he is not under house arrest others however havent changed their minds clearly wasnt comfortable situation here physically look. What he was saying was very. Contradictory to many people in lebanon saying that hes free when i look but if and when it does return it doesnt guarantee that lebanons latest political crisis will be resolved if i withdraw my resignation as Prime Minister of lebanon we must respect the distancing of lebanon from the regional conflicts we should pull out from the interventions in the region a few years ago lebanon officially adopted a policy of staying out of regional conflicts particularly from the war in syria hezbollah has been accused of ignoring that policy by sending troops to fight alongside the Syrian Government the iranian allied group has long resisted demands to withdraw its forces and it is unlikely to heed that demand now. Also singled out yemen accusing hezbollah of interventions that puts lebanon at risk heidi said he resigned to save lebanon but the political vacuum his resignation created has only destabilize the country heidi. He is the top so no politician in lebanon replacing him will not be easy democracy here is about consensus and a candidate has to be accepted by all rival camps for stability to prevail appearance said comments did little to ease the tensions instead he looked more like a pawn in the Regional Power struggle between iran and saudi arabia said of. Beirut the us president has the meeting leaders of the summit and the including host president of the pedophile controversially the Police Killing of suspected drug use is also something that came up between the two leaders in the world on has moved from manila. When he was sworn into Office Philippines president was very good at that just says the could she will be cutting ties with the United States but now more than a year later and as chairman of the association of Southeast Asian nations critics a detective is now singing a different tune. Thank. You and yours me but you know. He promised to pursue an independent Foreign Policy veering away from the u. S. While building closer relations with china and russia those who want supported him now say deter the strong man image isnt quite what it. Really shows the kind of relationship there is between him and trump between the philippines and the United States its only your colonial relations all of many is for a truly independent Foreign Policy independent from the dictates of the United States of america. Its Donald Trumps first trip to the philippines since he took Office Security experts say top of his agenda are the growing tensions in the Korean Peninsula hell also be meeting with leaders of as he and Member States all our diplomatic ties with north korea but have unanimously condemned pyongyangs Nuclear Weapons program over the weekend three was aircraft carriers carried out joint exercises off the east coast of south korea worrying many here that the situation shows no sign of the escalating the South China Sea dispute is also on the agenda together with the growing influence of eitel in the region and the ruhi a crisis in me and mark the thirty and shop are meeting on the sidelines today a lateral discussion that is making many here nervous but trump says the two countries have a great relationship wants glossed over deterred to socalled war on drugs which has led to the deaths of more than ten thousand filipinos thanks and far from the glittering halls of axion protests continue in downtown manila. This been going on for more than thirty minutes now and it shows no sign of slowing down protesters are chanting the word coup which means poppy. They say philippine state forces together with president. Are stooges of the United States. More than two thousand people showed up and there is no shortage of zeal or anger. But the history between the two countries is so intertwined it will take more than a few protests to separate the United States from its former colony. Dogon im just here in manila. On all things here now with our correspondent dr whos drawing of live from manila so that first meeting role between those two very controversial latest seems to have gone well but theres some confusion about what. What was discussed. Exactly it is a controversy here as you said both sides have said that this meeting was a success but there is a disagreement over exactly what was talked about in particular whether they mentioned the subject of human rights now critics of the trumpet ministration have accused it of turning its back on what is traditionally seen as being a role responsibility of a u. S. President wherever they are in the world to raise human rights where they believe there have been violations and to make no apologies for that well here in the philippines as weve mentioned there and there is this ongoing issue about the drug war being waged by deterred and about the thousands of people who have been killed in that now the white house has said that trump did mention briefly the subject of human rights but in the version its given to us by the Spokes Person for the president to turn say it is said that deter take talked about the drugs problem that trump largely listened and nodded seeming to be in agreement but at no point they say elizabeth did trump mention the subject of human rights as someone at the truth will be in there and didnt wait remains to be seen exactly if it will come out it was about me mom rob both sides have spoken about not being able to issue that dominated trump asia trip whats been the reaction has there been any reacts make any complaints. That has been something obviously has dominated the whole agenda of this trip amongst as the our nations he has had a very receptive audience they have spoken about that along with the Missile Program and the Nuclear Program of north korea and trump has promised that on his return to washington come wednesday this this week he will be telling gets more and this is about the. Policy towards north korea as well but yes it has been an issue a long going issue here and something that people have also commented on here is the fact that this week tomorrow in fact will mark the sixtieth day that there has not been a missile test from north korea and theres been increasing speculation about what that might mean could it be some conciliatory gesture from north korea and possibly leading to some kind of dialogue and people has said that what gives this credence all weight is the kind of language that has been used by north korea about trumps visit that over the weekend he was attacked by north korea for what hes what north koreas called begging for a war now thats pretty strong stuff but according to many observers here many critics that it is not as bad as some of the insults from north korea its almost as though theyre stepping back some of their rhetoric some of that insults and a scolding to the South Koreans it is in terms of north korean insults actually quite measured Elizabeth Rather thank you very much for that thats our correspondent rob mcbride joining us live from manila but lets get more on all of this now were joined by jay bethel buckle director of the university of the Philippines Institute for madhav affairs and north the cia and hes joining us via skype from manila very good to have you with us on aljazeera so lets start with that. Relationship between those two president s trump and the certainly seems to have got off to a very cozy start. With the White House Press secretary the white house saying you know they they discussed i saw in legal drugs trade human Rights Groups are very disappointed that rights werent addressed but do you think that they should be in any way surprised given trumps praise of the ten days handling of the drug war in the past. No i dont think it should be a surprise because on one hand the therapist clearly said the message is that he does not want any discussion of human rights pressure to be the lady to the to go to war you know there are no trump has really not been known to speak of such controversial issues with the leaders he speaks with especially also a very you know are people with the territory of tendencies but there are those that say that he wanted to bring up smith sensitive issues would lead is that a seed a somewhat or foreign tarion like you know human vides that he didnt do the same even with a gyptian presidency see but that theres a possibility that he could talk to them sort of behind closed doors about these things again you know is that likely do you think from this president well even behind closed doors i dont think its likely that happened. Even even if you had the statements from the u. S. Side but clearly on the Philippine Star it. Was not really well it was a boy that basically apart from the director having raised it and then from staying quiet clearly theres no indication that it was discussed in an informal well what about the issue of north korea that is very much on top of the agenda were hearing from our correspondent who is saying that you know theres been no test for nearly sixty days in the language isnt the language coming from the north sort of isnt as strong as its been in the past i mean things are a sign of progress on this crisis and can we expect any movement from the summit step of same both are they on and you know following apec following trumps trip to japan to south korea to china. Well its hard to say that any progress has been made at best probably worse we have some kind of boss in the rectory and the outdoor discolorations are actually safe but as far as the sales folks are in the say as definitely in step with us is that its here to stay and does not want to see any for discrimination in this on this issue especially since it would see itself as being threatened by any. About grant thats the more any further a conflict between two countries and just how much do you think that very longstanding issue of the long running territorial disputes in the South China Sea have will have not been eclipsed by whats happening in north korea and some of the other big issues the c. N. Can we expect any progress on that ice seeing the whatever progress can be meat has already been made and there was no just recently announcement that they would commence negotiations at the particular date that they would make that announcement so on but i think thats also the most we can hope for at this point we can appeal expect that the two countries of the philippines and china as well as the rest of us there are going to be expect that to quickly come up with a very substantial agreement so just this announcement of a date i think is an up or down i think they will be satisfied with that as another measure of progress however more distinctly the best about thank you very much for your time on this and jay back on back on joining us live from the left thank you. Youre welcome thank you. Well in a few moments well have the weather with everton but still ahead on the new cell.

Well start with a check on the weather just around the quake zone in iran you can see large the clear skies little bit of cloud just spilling across the levant across syria lebanon jordan into iraq itll push its way towards iran just around the border there but it will stay dry and settle temperatures over the next couple of days getting up into the low to mid twentys by day no lower than around twelve thirteen degrees by night so largely quiet skies its not going to hamper the search and rescue operations i am relieved to say rather more way of wetter weather some wintry weather to just around that eastern side of afghanistan pushing into the north of pakistan Northern Plains of india as well that could help to disperse some of that fog the smoke of the pollution that we have around the region but certainly some wintry weather making its way in feeling somewhat cooler cold enough to across western parts of europe at the moment so you have a cloud is just diving in from the north there tightly packed ice about as something of a mistrial when just blowing across southern parts of france so some cold and blustery conditions and a little area of low pressure which continues to bring some big downpours across central parts of the mediterranean italy seeing more fun to be showers over the next few days temperatures really struggling were going to see more heavy downpours and snow in the coming days.

Might tune asea hand at this time on aljazeera the story thats had the greatest impact on me would probably be the magic on a message that if my nose died and ran where there were no very few television things being an eye on that spot at that time to dismiss some of the times the story out of the story and films and stuff like that tonight i want to feel in malaysia like aljazeera english because the news is not offensive and you didnt miss any of the news or any of it didnt watch it on like.
