Tens of thousands forced from their homes and noncom reports from baghdad. First responders quickly deal with the wounded in western iran a seven point three magnitude earthquake bringing schools of the injured through hospital doors. I fell from the balcony it was so far. Pieces of glass fell on me and hurt my hand. You rivals from remote towns swell the hospital to capacity the injured continue in ever increasing number as more people are found in the rubble the death toll rises to the earthquake was centered on the iraq iran border near the iraqi town of halabja striking at nine eighteen p. M. Local time the u. S.

On the other and in yemen but because of the broke the impost on the country by the Saudi Led Coalition they havent been able to take anything from djibouti to yemen in the past week and a mouthful to use a much bigger ship to make the delivery they say they would ideally want to take the supplies which include.

Still ahead on the bulletin the North Koreans want to show on trying to defect the sound through one of the worlds most heavily guarded border.

How there was pretty quiet now across southern parts of china still a chance of one of the into the far south west of the country hong kong shell be fine and dry temperatures here at around twenty six degrees further north you might see wanted to showers for a time up towards shanghai but i think they will be few and far between but just guys come back into hong kong as we go on through wednesday a chance of wanted to showers towards high now and into the gulf of tonkin central as the vietnam also seeing some rather wet weather as winds continue to drive their way in as from the North Eastern that northeasterly wind also pushing a fair few showers into the southeastern corner of india plenty of cloud around here mostly see wanted to those showers creep in the way towards flag i think frankly should be largely dry basically. Just around the southern parts of under but that welcome cloud just making its way towards Northern Plains of india spilling out of the north of pakistan and that could help to clear the air in new delhi at least temporarily as we go on through wednesday meanwhile that wet weather will push east why right up that eastern side of india some heavy downpours pushing right up towards additional towards west bengal and maybe also some wet weather also stretching its way into bangladesh elsewhere is dry. Facing the reality the president said that there would be a complete audit a hundred percent ordered that order hasnt happened getting to the heart of the matter so are you saying then that the future of the g. C. C. Will be and. Hear their story. On talk to aljazeera at this time. But have you with us on aljazeera these are our top stories hundred eighty people have died in a powerful earthquake that struck me a box border with another four thousand people in the magnitude seven point three quake and the state International Says the Syrian Governments use of surrender methods against civilians constitutes his crimes against humanity as released a report saying the bombing densely Populated Areas giving the residents an ultimatum to abandon their homes or die saudi arabias mission to the u. N. Has announced that the Saudi Led Coalition will begin reopening airports and seaports in yemen access to the ports of aden mccollough admin will be reinstated over the next twenty four hours they have placed a blockade on yemen after what the rebels fired a missile towards riyadh a week ago. Lebanons president says its positive that promise to solve the may take back his resignation i doubt he made the comment on his first interview since on expectedly resigning in saudi arabia more than a week ago saying to haul the reports 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 it clearly was a comfortable situation 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 with 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 destabilized the country heidi. He is the tops and the 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 and comments did little to ease the tensions instead he looked more like a pawn in the Regional Power struggle between iran and saudi arabia so out of.

On the final half the rafts were intercepted by bangladesh frontier guards these people are not welcome here and for an hour the guards circled the rafts trying to persuade them to turn back and pushing them up river the refugees ignored them and pushed on to the shoreline.

We couldnt manage boats as we couldnt afford the rent moreover i thought of our neighbors got robbed when they left the camps with the boat people they lost all their money and everything they had.
