After sundays earthquake on the iraq iran Border Community retreats they did from the rubble the loudest sounds of morning come from Irans Kermanshah province more than three hundred of the dead lived here thousands more were injured. I was under the rubble of a destroyed wall it collapsed on my head infrastructure has been devastated so medics improvise in a field irans government has sent in twenty helicopters and created four field hospitals using trucks of medicine and buses to treat the wounded those whose injuries were too severe were transferred to the capital tehran. There were no facility has no access to electricity or water in the seconds that the earthquake rolled through at nine eighteen on sunday night and he still mated seventy thousand people became harmless iran is one of the most seismically active countries in the world several major fault lines cross it. In iraq the less common but this time the destruction cross the border. Home of the earthquake i was lying in my bed because i wasnt feeling well my sound started shouting mom wake up theres an earthquake we all went to the corridor and you could see the house collapsing behind us and hear the sound of things falling. Its believed many people are still under the rubble communities in iran and iraq scrambling optimistically to find out.

Well reza marashi is from the National IranianAmerican Council he says Emergency Responders are experienced but iran may still need help from outside and youve seen long queues to donate blood you seen people trying to donate everything from food to blankets to. Clothing and i think youre going to see even more of a robust government response in the coming days because quite frankly if you dont see that kind of response from the government then youre going to start to see increasing outrage from the people which is the last thing that the iranian government is going to want i do still think that were assessing the damage but i would be personally surprised if you run didnt accept some kind of outside assistance whether it be from the red crescent or from friendly countries that have experience with Disaster Relief like japan for example so there is a precedent for it but precisely because geo political tensions with countries like the United States for example are extremely high perhaps a little bit less likely that iran would accept any offer from the trouble ministration even though i personally believe those offers are are unlikely at least at the moment. Aid groups are preparing to send much needed supplies to yemen to saudi arabia said will start reopening some of the countrys ports and airports saudi impose a blockade a week ago after who the rebels fired a missile at riyadh in all the u. N. Is warning millions of people could die in the worlds worst famine in decades unless the measures are lifted completely diplomatic editor james bass has more. Saudi arabia has announced that aid is going to be allowed in but only to places that are controlled by its military Coalition Aid is not going to be allowed to ports and airports which are under who think control the problem with that is that eighty percent of yemens food normally comes in through the data port and that is under who think control with regard to the u. N. Their statements on this are very careful because of the political sensitivity but if you read between the lines what theyre saying is this is too little too late and the ports that we need access to or the ones where the humanitarian needs are the greatest and that includes data and salif. Sea ports. Obviously we welcome the opening of other other ports but those are the ones that we need later in the same room saudi arabias ambassador flanked by the ambassador of yemen and the deputy ambassador of the United Arab Emirates took questions from reporters they were asked why they were planning to lift the blockade selectively doesnt this lay you open to accusations of using starvation as a weapon of war no no far from it we are we are saying that we have had to take measures to control the safety and security of our country and we have taken these measures on a temporary basis and for a short and limited period of time we are lifting the siege in the areas where there is no threat of smuggling we are taking steps to improve the Verification Mechanism in the other areas and in the meantime we have not stopped the supply of humanitarian aid to all of you havent from saudi arabia and from from elsewhere the saudi ambassador denied reports that the president of yemen president had he was under house arrest in saudi arabia its perhaps remarkable that moments later he was asked exactly the same question about saad hariri the Prime Minister of lebanon who resigned in riyadh last week and he was so. Still in saudi arabia i saw fighters of recapture the city of al book come out close to the border with iraq just a few days after the government down its allies took control of it as thought i still fighters had been hiding inside tunnels in the heart of the city which was the groups last stronghold inside syria iranian backed shia militias from iraq had helped to capture the city last thursday israels Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu has signaled his country will continue to take military action in syria to protect its territory from iranian backed forces. And im going to be honest i made it clear to our friends in washington and our friends in moscow that israel will operate in syria including southern syria according to our security needs our sam leaders and china have agreed to start talks on drafting a new guideline for the South China Sea the Philippine ForeignMinistry Says the countries will negotiate an effective code of conduct over the long disputed territory but he gave no details on when the talks will begin for more than a decade leaders of the ten member bloc have struggled to reach a deal with china which claims most of the strategic waterway right has more from the philippines capital. This is being seen as something of an achievement albeit long over due they first started talking about these talks that has he and back in two thousand and two the organization has often been accused of being more of a talking shop so yes while this is a success it does prove just how slowly the wheels of as a man can turn the problem is the competing demands of asian neighbors to the resources of the South China Sea and try to accommodate those and also the relationship with the biggest claimants to the resources of the South China Sea china itself the philippines for example has in recent times taken a far more pragmatic approach talking about jointly developing the resources of the South China Sea rather than trying to forcefully stake its claim against chinas claims vietnam on the other hand is far more robust in dealing with china though it seems those claims will still exist whether or not there is in place a code of conduct to try to sort out these differences. And to trumper testers are rallying in manila as the us president wraps up his asia tour on monday right please use water cannon and something to disperse hundreds of protesters demanding trump go home theyre angry he failed to condemn philippine president rigor to tend to socalled war on drugs which has led to the deaths of thousands of people and canadian president Justin Trudeau has been speaking after meeting leaders hes a live pictures coming from there he says he raised the issue of human rights when he met the philippine president and that regurgitator was receptive to his comments. For the first time in sixty years italy is Football Team have failed to qualify for the world cup the four time winners drew neal neal with sweden in a qualifying playoff but it was a game they had to win the legendary goalkeeper before announced his retirement and then a twenty Year International career that included winning the two thousand and six world cup but. There was nothing to say its the way it was meant to be they were terrible its really not qualifying for the world cup its a shame its a shame that. They didnt really want to win and everybody underestimated the opponent in the first leg as well even now no one was really trying to score everyone was saying we were strong but its not true because sweden is going through and were going home. When though i have to say i must apologise for the citys uls certainly not because of the commitment or the real of the players but for the result that is the main thing i know. Well adam peacock is a present at fox Sports Australia he says theres a number of problems preventing younger players getting into italys top teams. Watching the game it was just that i became bereft of ideas towards the end i just ended up resorting to lumping it in that swayed back for for sweden which just meant the why that i defended what i had to defend was incredible and i would deserving of going through weve seen the pictures of them celebrating with the where dish tell you a moment crushing the desk after the game though a fantastic sense from their point of view for italy theres a whole heap of soul searching going on and a few of my might live around me here in sydney or just in a state of shock pure shock because not only their fathers not only died i dont know of italy being in a world cup their fathers as well thats how long it goes back when you look at antonia cantone did so well with the squad that he had in not that long ago before he moved to chelsea. Then sure that the new boss bicycle left with the same crop of as a few younger ones coming through but i think theres a glass of problems that professional level for Young Players in italy and theyre not getting the chances that perhaps the development believes that they should have in terms of the quality of the development that produced some great players but its just that finishing touches that they dont get between the ages of saying it sixteen and twenty that seems to be the problem and its created this this generation that hasnt quite got it when it comes to the big moments and thats not the south think theres some adjustments going on in italian football moments in the younger riders that will say that Something Like this doesnt happen of course well have to wait and see if it doesnt happen but steps are implies lots more so to come here not just here including the instability in lebanon sparks fears of a wider conflict with israel paying particularly close attention. And why not gallery in the u. S. Is under fire for plans to sell its precious whats more that stay with us. And settle just around the quake zone in iran we are going to see a little more cloud just rolling in here but thankfully we shouldnt see any wet weather when typically temperatures getting up into the low twentys by day. Somewhere so weather over towards afghanistan towards northern parts of pakistan that should help to clear the pollution the fog the smoke that we have seen it in northern parts of pakistan well in areas of india cooler air come back in behind couple of degrees celsius twenty six celsius for baghdad there will be more sunshine coming through that sunshine stretching across the eastern side of the mediterranean plenty of sunshine to across they Arabian Peninsula but a warm one here in doha around thirty one celsius which is easing off think we should have too much more and there were problems with it dust and sand at least as we go on into the second half of this week thankfully hazy sunshine continuing pretty much everywhere then very dishonest shine to into western parts of south africa but just around the southern kate which also some showers and showers pushing up towards central i was of mozambique into was empowered by but some really heavy rain you know just around the eastern cape for the middle part of the way the possibility of some flooding so as meanwhile they continue across central parts of africa to the west.

Welcome back im on the other top stories here on aljazeera at least four hundred fifty people have been killed by an earthquake near the iran iraq border about six thousand others were injured and ive been to seven point three quake caused widespread damage in both countries. Aid groups are preparing to send much needed supplies to yemen after saudi arabia said it will start reopening some of the countrys ports and airports but the main supply with the port of the data will only reopen once the Saudi Led Coalition is satisfied that with these cannot use it to bring in weapons and asset leaders and china agreed to start talks on drafting a new guideline for the South China Sea the Philippine ForeignMinistry Says the countries when they go shake an effective code of conduct over the long disputed territory. Now the head of lebanons Maronite Church is visiting the saudi capital where hes expected to meet lebanese Prime Minister saad hariri last week a spokesman for patriarch bashar rice said hed received a positive response from saudi arabia of a possible meeting between the two its believed the patriarch will deliver a message to the kingdom that lebanon cannot handle conflict really announce his resignation more than a week ago from riyadh but he hasnt yet returned to lebanon prompting speculation hes being held against his will but in an interview on sunday really said he was free to leave riyadh adding hell be returning to beirut soon and is considering taking back his resignation the instability sparked fears of a wider conflict but israel paying particularly close attention are a force that reports from western. Israeli troops rehearse another war with hezbollah these exercises the largest in one thousand years took place in september two months on some are wondering whether lebanons political crisis might set the stage for the real thing i noticed was that zogby would in fact have great concerns over the developments in the middle east the fact that the Prime Minister has fled to another country obviously looked destabilization in lebanon and there were already several areas of instability behind those fears of the Extraordinary Events of the last ten days which have seen the lebanese Prime Minister side hariri summoned to saudi arabia and announce his resignation and the leader of hezbollah accuse the saudis of declaring war the israeli media have been full of speculation about the intentions of the Saudi Crown Prince mohammed bin simon. One theory is that hes trying to destabilize lebanon in order to spark a war in which israel would defeat hezbollah and deal a blow to their common enemy iran even if that theory were correct theres little sense among analysts here that israel would at the moment be willing to play along it will certainly be an enormous test at an early stage of the recent warming in relations between saudi arabia and israel not least because since the last lebanon war in two thousand and six hezbollah as soldiers have been battle hardened in syria and its missile arsenal has swelled in size range and destructive power on the israeli side defense minister Avigdor Lieberman has repeatedly this year promised that in any future conflict israel would seek a decisive clear victory all of which would risk a largescale conflict than eleven years ago just because both sides have incentives not to go to war doesnt mean theyre not going to go to war all it takes is one miscalculation of you know from one side that the other responds to you and then theres a response to the response and back and forth and all of a sudden youre fighting a war that you didnt want i really gave a t. V. Interview on sunday raising the prospect of his return to lebanon and even to office if hes uneasy partners in power hezbollah stopped intervening in the war in yemen is a sign at least of a potential deescalation in a crisis being watched intently from israel sorry force that aljazeera west jerusalem now one of qatars most important parliamentary advisory body is set to meet for the First Time Since twenty eight new members were appointed the emir shutter mean been hammered out penny is due to speak at the opening session of the Shura Council draft laws approves the budget and monitors government performance last week in their promoted four women to the forty five Strong Council for the first time in its history.

Judge has halted the controversial sale of two paintings by the american artist Norman Rockwell at the heart of the matter is whether museum has the right to sell off works that were donated to it for safekeeping for generations to come says it needs the expected fifty Million Dollar windfall to pay for renovations kristensen to me as mine. The works of Norman Rockwell provide a window into americas past smalltown Twentieth Century life whether its after hours fun scene here at shuffled his barber shop or the bustle of blacksmiths boy these paintings were donated by the artist to the Berkshire Museum in the one nine hundred fifty s. But the museum in the state of massachusetts where rockwell lived and worked for the last twenty five years of his life fell on hard times and decided to sell them my grandfather gave them to be viewed by the people the birchers probably in gratitude. To the director and to the museum i think the museum is losing its soul i think its. You know its very clear that it is a mission around science history an art and has decided to sell the art in order to invest in the other parts of the mission. Norman rockwells descendants arent the only ones upset about it but the museums board which turned down our request for an interview says its been losing a Million Dollars a year and needs to raise money to revamp its site to attract new visitors. A Massachusetts Court has delayed the sale after the family and the state Attorney Generals Office sued the state argued the sale also opposed by the association of Art Museum Directors and the American Alliance of museums may violate the museums responsibility as a Charitable Trust are critically rosenbaum says the move would set a bad precedent allowing cash strapped institutions to potentially convert public treasures into liquid assets the metropolitan museum couldnt find the money for its expansion that its planning to do but it didnt sell the rembrandts thats not the way to do it what you do is you poor was you postpone you make some cuts i mean that laid off some people and you just wait until you can get the consensus and the donor support that you need or risk the sale of iconic works such as those of Norman Rockwell to private collectors where the American Public wont get a chance to see them kristen salumi aljazeera.
