Its the only way to ensure a bloodless transition of power. And the battle for control of the southern philippines town im a watery Amnesty International says all sides may have violated International Law. And then a sign of how things are changing in the middle east a senior israeli general talks about sharing intelligence with saudi arabia. And an afternoon of high drama at the United Nations russia and the United States have vetoed competing resolutions on syria the chira solution was the us one it sought to extend an International Inquiry into the use of chemical weapons in syria so this means that the United Nations team and best gaining the use said deadly sarin gas in syria it will be disbanded russias veto was sharply criticized by france the United Kingdom and the u. S. Now last month u. N. Investigators concluded the Syrian Government was responsible for the chemical weapons attack and conscious in april at least eighty people died that day many of them children now russia course is a key ally of syrian president bashar assad and they rejected the investigations findings at the Security Council meeting moscow presented its own draft resolution but it was not adopted the Russian Ambassador hit back at sharp criticism from western powers and criticized the methods used by the inquiry to gather and assess evidence. Moscow the endless distortion of the chemical weapons stored in damascus these weapons were indeed withdrawn and destroyed under the o. P. C. W. s oversight these a stokley reminiscent of the situation around iraq nearly fifteen years ago a United States representatives at the time deliberately misled the International Community including the Security Council in doing so they set the stage for intervention which unleashed unspeakable tragedy on both iraq and the whole region. Japan is now asking for a short Term Extension at the syria and korean till matters can be resolved but the same space reports finding agreement after thursdays meeting will be far from sample the tenth veto by russia in the u. N. Security council on syria and one that ends the councils efforts to hold to account those who use chemical weapons in the country. It was a vote that sparked outrage from the u. S. Ambassador and she gave this warning that the u. S. May now work outside the u. N. Russia has killed the joint investigative mechanism which has overwhelming support of this council the assad regime should be on clear notice the United States does not accept syrias use of chemical weapons as we did in april we will do it again if we must we will defend the International Standard against chemical weapons use there was drama even before the meeting began with ambassador hayley accusing her russian colleague of bad faith by refusing to enter into negotiations for some reason the phones at the Russian Mission arent working we have tried to get a call with them and theyve been too busy to talk to us this week and when i have tried to call the silly for some reason hes not available moments later she was able to express her displeasure in person a very Public Exchange of words with the Russian Ambassador vasoline the benzine even it seems checking his phones for her calls when the meeting started they even argued over the rules of procedure in the council. I was invoking all thirty five of the of the previous littles of procedure the Russian Ambassador withdrawing and then reintroducing his own rival resolution this two failed to pass meaning as things stand now the team is investigating the use of chemical weapons looks set to be disbanded. The use of chemical weapons is now a dangerous reality what is at stake here today is the very future of the International Chemical weapons nonproliferation regime. Theres been real division and high drama its been a sad day for syria a bad day for efforts to fight weapons of mass destruction and a day on which the u. N. Security council has really harmed its own standing as the Security Council meeting broke up some members were still trying to create a new compromise resolution to keep the chemical weapons mechanism going on a temporary basis there could be another vote on friday but it will now be very difficult to bridge the deep divisions that have been laid bare james by aljazeera at the United Nations russias president Vladimir Putin will host the leaders of turkey and iran and sochi next week for talks on syria theyll discuss finding a political solution to the civil war some of inch of it of course from gazi on tap in turkey near the border with syria.

But the rebel small gains are no match for the governments air superiority fighter jets have continued to target opposition areas. Raise the deescalation if thats what is called the planes didnt spare any neighborhood more than sixty people injured here the hospitals are full of civilians dying because of the lack of medicine as Government Forces gain ground against rebels are nice and they renewed their calls for u. S. Soldiers to leave the statement from syrias Foreign Office came a day after u. S. Secretary of state quote walking away from syria this week in attacks comes as World Leaders agreed to reduce the number of civilian casualties but inside syria people say that another Security Council meeting with continued to fail to prevent attacks. Earlier this year the world reacted in almost unanimous condemnation to the images of suffocating children the u. N. Found the assad regime responsible for the chemical attack and which killed dozens of people the government denied responsibility and russia questions about the attack itself britains foreign secretary accused russia for consistently choosing to cover up for the sun as a mandate for the un joint investigative mechanism expires the u. S. And russia are presenting rival bids for how to investigate future Chemical Attacks russia has so far vetoed nine resolutions on syria and more than six years into this war World Leaders are still making statements as attacks against civilians continue with impunity some of the job it out of their. Robert mugabe is refusing to stand down a Zimbabwes President despite being confined to his home by the military a delegation from south africa is in the capital harare trying to reach a deal on his and the countrys future its holding talks with members of the army president mugabes family and as a new party along with the Catholic Priest acting as mediator the military says it wants mugabe to stand out so there can be a smooth and bloodless transition the army chief backs the former Vice President emerson. Who was sacked last week he could take over as enter a president the amid the social it political and Economic UncertaintyOpposition LeaderMorgan Tsvangirai has returned to the capital after receiving Cancer Treatment overseas they were tossed out reports from harare while us with african delegation and the Catholic Church media and president Robert Mugabe some of his main Opposition LeaderMorgan Tsvangirai see it is only one way out of the political crisis in the interest of the people of zimbabwe used to Robert Mugabe must. Step down immediately with the National Sentiment and expectation degree from gods will for his legacy. And a contribution to zimbabwean. The army seize control on wednesday and can find the ninety three year old whose private residence in harare some sources there still insists he is the countrys only legitimate leader soldiers in Armored Vehicles are guarding government offices but harare is calm and quiet Civil Servants have gone back to work shops and businesses have opened official word of what exactly is happening doesnt come off and people have to lie in social media and speculation which sometimes cause panic was a way to hear for news of the meeting between the army president Robert Mugabe and the South African delegation getting on with their lives but his calls for the president to step down grow louder zimbabweans are talking about a post era and they say several scenarios could play out the readings on a pair of party could recall mugabe his annual conference next month that means hell no longer be leader of the party and head of state they could be a transitional unity government with all Political Parties including zanu p. F. War veterans who helped in power for nearly forty years to have a rally on saturday to prepare for the future but for now the military insists this was not a coup it is Robert Mugabe is still the head of state and commander in chief. So was chief advisor to Morgan Tsvangirai when he was Prime Minister and his mugabe will not step aside without first shoring up protection for his allies. Hes been one of the most deceptive villian figures you know politics and its very hard to tell what hes thinking and ways going theres lots of information some of it is quite frankly speculation and doesnt really give the true picture of whats going on behind the scenes i dont think that mugabe who agreed to leave zimbabwe i think you would want to stay in the country one to be able to continue with his life i also think that he would want to secure some guarantees for these are there people who are working with his wife who are detained and others who may be threatened i think that you try to secure some positions and also its also a question of protecting himself from those who are coming in as leaders he may not be comfortable with some of the figures that are being proposed he may have other people in mind and he knows that at the moment he also holds a bit of a trump card and he will try and use that because if the generals and booty to to fire him and take falls which they know its very difficult because of the illegality of it you can continue to hold on to that. The tiny horn of africa. Now home to more than forty thousand year many fled the war they started in a refugee camp and many a move to the capital to earn a living and as mohamed odeh reports their presence is bringing changes to the city. Old school time into a trading sometimes the heart of. A group of men are hard at work. The older figures from yemen until recently they were living in a comp some two hundred kilometers away. They were then were just given papers and allowed to work. Up to rahman ali came here from the city of. Destroyed his house he now owns the testament. Outmost respect and dignity. With the government and the leadership of that would. Allow to. Walk on living government officials. To see that after years of the bottom. Line is that. For themselves and for their homes. One of the worlds poorest countries with much a lot of sources the country has seen large Foreign Investment in recent years because of its strategic location but it still struggles with extreme poverty. There is little else we could do for them but make our brothers and sisters welcome we allowed them the right to work our president is a staunch supporter of the yemeni refugee community. More yemenis that ive businesses owned and run by them up becoming more visible and. Safe here and how the news thought from the whole. Yet they continue to follow closely events back home.

Amnesty international is accusing ice a link fighters in the philippines Government Forces of violating International Humanitarian law some amounting to war crimes there were in a five month battle for the city and more than a thousand people were killed another five hundred thousand displaced organizations latest report details how the us a link group kidnapped and killed civilians most of whom are christians hostages were abused and reportedly used as human shields documents says the marines to tain people accusing them without evidence of being militants detainees said they were interrogated and tortured and mr International Says both sides looted large amounts of cash and jewelry the group also wants an investigation into whether Government Air strikes were proportionate and in compliance with International Law to be allowed and joins us now from manila so. To me all of us just some of what was in that report what else do you know and what does this what does this mean for the philippines military. What we know racial is that these accusations are nothing new just two weeks into our coverage in our we if you want to go weve already spoken to civilians who said theyve been fired that would that mean that they would be with a change as they were trying to escape they already spoke about the abuses made committed by them out to group against them when they were forced to forced to wear a black shirt and ventured out of this chamber where they were then fired out by the minute you snipers now what remains to be seen here is how government will act. They said that they were not a lot of complaints against members of the Philippine Military but there might be an explanation to that and that is because martial law is implemented all across that now and in difficult for sibylla forward not just the blame about abuses being committed then but even to report about their missing loved ones lest they be accused of being sympathizers of them out to groups so generally you touched on this though but is there any reason to think that the government will will acknowledge this will try to address it will do something about it. Well yes they did in fact a few weeks ago they admitted the some members of the Philippine Army committed looting and pillage in the front lines in the areas of the neighborhoods but are we sitting in the southern philippines they said that they are now under investigation that they have now been taken off their assignments but what is critical here is visualises what is what actually happens in these cases whether investigations actually took place whether these people have actually been punished because they say that even though the Mountain Group has already been responsible with all these abuses there is no surprise because they have been putting up propaganda videos of their abuses being committed and theyre all uploaded to you tube but then men in uniform the Philippine Military that actually enjoys a very high Approval Rating are actually held in high regard by the public and they demand an explanation real older than live for us in manila thank you. Plenty more ahead on the news hour including france says lebanons Prime Minister is due there in a few days but whether hes free to travel or really even still in office its unclear. Trungpa ministration decision is good news for elephant hunters. And its board justin rose makes to become a leading man. Israel says that its fair to cooperate with saudi arabia to unite against iran israels military chief says in an interview with an arabic online newspaper that its ready to share intelligence information with saudi arabia he says they both need to stand up to iran this comes as tension between tehran and riyadh increases arms corvus a senior fellow at the center for American Progress and a former u. S. Assistant secretary defense he joins us from washington d. C. We always appreciate it is this is this is surprising as it seems well i think its surprising that it became public but the fact of the matter is that theyve been working together for quite a while particularly since president obama did the year round nuclear deal that they both realized they had to Work Together to make sure that iran did not become the dominant power in the region so obviously this would be concerning to iran who else might this be concerning to. Well i think it will be concerning to some of the other arab countries that have very tense relationships with israel to think that saudi arabia the premier if you will sunni country in the world cooperating with israel who many countries in the region dont think should exist who want them to really make a an agreement with the palestinians and saying well if you do this is going to be very hard for us to pressure israel to make a deal with the palestinians so having said that is there really anybody in a position to push back against saudi arabia if they do have issues with this not not really i dont think because given saudi arabias dominant position but i do think there are other countries in the in the region who are going to be concerned about you know what this means for the middle east Peace Process what it would mean for basically israel becoming more aggressive against hamas or even intervening in in lebanon so its to be clear this is not a a military alliance per se but how do you see this actually working this this how how would this play out. Well i think whats happening there both sharing intelligence about what iran is doing there the list the missile up program for example their support for the Assad Government in syria their support for the whole decent yemen i think thats what theyre sharing intelligence on because saudi arabia is obviously concerned about whats happening on their border in in yemen theyre also concerned about the fact that iran and russia will have permanent influence in syria particularly iran having not theyll be able to have a corridor you know from iran all the way through to the mediterranean what role if any does the u. S. Play and either managing this alliance facilitating this alliance i mean donald trump has sent his son in law jerry because here is a note to saudi arabia for. Secret meetings perhaps because no one knew about him until after the fact hes also been to the middle east and just what role does the u. S. Play in this well i think its encouraging and you may remember that when President Trump went to riyadh he flew directly to tel aviv that had been unprecedented and im sure they were sending a signal that we think its good for them to book cooperate because President Trump sees a ran as a big threat to the region which is why he decertified the rand nuclear deal because he was concerned about the other things that theyre doing in the region all right Lawrence Korb thank you very much joining us from washington d. C. Appreciate it they French Foreign minister says lebanons Prime Minister saad hariri will visit france in the coming days earlier this week lebanons president said he revealed his being detained in saudi arabia since his shock resignation almost two weeks ago now riyadh the nie says allegations that hauteur has more from beirut. It was a confusing picture for nearly two weeks the fate of saddam had a deal was open to question many in lebanon including the president michel aoun accused saudi arabia of forcing the Prime Minister to resign as well as holding him and his family hostage accusations rejected by saudi officials the french government weighed in in what some are calling a face saving deal the french president. Invited had and his family to visit paris his foreign minister who held talks in riyadh confirmed that the invitation was accepted the crisis began when had he announced his sudden resignation earlier this month it was seen as a saudi move against irans ally in lebanon hezbollah. Collective efforts must be made to restore things as they were before the resignation of Prime Minister saad hariri last year there was a rare deal between saudi arabia and iran to keep lebanon stable and shielded from crises across the region they agreed to appoint hezbollahs ally michel aoun as president and riyadhs choice of saddle had eighty as Prime Minister that is no longer the case saudi arabia has taken a more aggressive stance against what it sees is growing iranian influence well as my feeling the crisis in lebanon is caused by hizbullah that hijacked the state and imposed on the country if hezbollah continues its current policy it would make lebanon vulnerable lebanon has been caught up in proxy wars in the past it is easy to exploit the deep divisions between its political camps. We cannot afford more pressures we cannot afford more interferences from anybody whether from so that or from iran. Its not clear if his resignation but lebanons president michel aoun said he will wait for the Prime Minister to return to beirut to decide the next step with regard to the government french have ended the diplomatic turmoil over. But the crisis is far from over if its on resigning it will be hard to find a candidate accepted by all sides to replace him and the ongoing rivalry between iran and saudi arabia could cause more instability here. Lebanese from across the political divide had one message to saudi arabia we want our Prime Minister back it seems he is now coming back but what happens next will test if the unity will be short lived so out of. Beirut al jazeera continues to demand the release of a journalist whos saying whos been an egyptian prison for almost eleven months now the same is accused of broadcasting false news to spread chaos which strongly deny he has repeatedly complained of mistreatment and jail he was arrested on december twentieth all this in his family.

So much speculation before the start of the last Climate Conference in germany that the promised us pull out of the Paris Agreement may derail the process in fact it appears to have galvanized efforts to lessen the effects of Global Warming the clock reports.

S. Position with respect to the Paris Agreement although he indicated that the United States intends to withdraw at the earliest opportunity we remain open to the possibility of rejoining at a later date under terms more favorable to the American People the u.

K. Canada Global Alliance to phase out coal some see it as a rebuke to trump and what to do hes too close as you can canada is busy going to telling him that we have called me a very.

Has pride of place over the top the point being that when it comes to Climate Change were all in the same boat for the same time theres a Gathering Force in the fight against Global Warming and thats a Younger Generation thats i mean this is our Fourth Industrial Revolution the most exciting to time to be alive for me this is you know its going to go down in history books as the time when we shifted away from. Lucy and i want to be a part of that. The genes in other nations will celebrated approach like making the crisis that is Climate Change may not suit the white house around the world it seems it is a concept its gaining momentum.

An investigation into abuse and discrimination and australian prisons a set to be released by a Government Commission triggered by a t. V. Expose a last year into conditions in jails in the Northern Territory the documentary show team prisoners many of them aboriginal tied up with hoods over their heads some were stripped naked and exposed to tear gas revelation sparked protests with thousands demanding reform so in a mosque is a Senior Lawyer at the Human Rights Law Center she joins us via skype from melbourne thank you very much for joining us so. As we said it was a t. V. Expose that revealed that this was happening how long had had these been the conditions in these prisons so are the reason mistreatment who has been an ongoing issue in your church prisons for many years all of them were working in the average Legal Service during this time i saw. A meted out on a mini church time around the strange use of an cross which was illegal in dreams when children having children and guest and children being kept in solitary on the diet weeks only and so what was on full coombes was really a snapshot of the views that have been has been heard from the. I mean you say its a snapshot it is a snapshot of the of the Northern Territorys but how widespread do you think this is. Its been occurring in the Norton Church he used detention system for many years and. Im unsure whether or not youre aware but abuse mistreatment has also been occurring in states and territories right across australia so the use of solitary confinement the use of tear gas in the military. Use the force. The use of restraints on children in one jurisdiction the threat of use of dogs so abused mistreatment isnt just needs issue its actually been occurring right across a strong prison so where does a began to report which is important because we have to shine a light on things but what is next where is there accountability where is there any type of the potential for criminal responsibility well the report is a groundbreaking report it was a road map to trying to reform in a fictive in home for Child Protection in youve just the systems orchestra. I know it that the Royal Commission has at this finding differences in staff within inches but in terms of crew members once they are cannot set the standards but what i object to is that ministers and voice on the fence were well aware of the views mistreatment of the is and did very little change and so governments should be held to account and im hopeful that that will come out of the go. Ok and she said this is a groundbreaking report and we appreciate you talking to us about it thank you very much thank you. And the us the Republican Party ticket step thursday towards a long held goal goal that is making huge changes to the countrys tax system the house of representatives passed a sweeping a tax bill but it still needs to get through the Senate Committee how could a ports in washington d. C. He campaigned on winning tax breaks for ordinary americans but after nearly ten months in Office Donald trump has yet to score legislative victory thats going really well thank you very much so the u. S. President went to capitol hill to drum up support for his controversy tax reform legislation in their bones the American People know theyre getting a raw deal under the republican bill before passing this bill is the single biggest thing we can do to grow the economy to restore opportunity and help these middle income families who are struggling on this vote the answer to twenty seven the ninth. And while the bill passed easily in the house of representatives it still has to pass in the senate to become law and that will be a challenge thats because tucked into the Senate Version of the legislation is a plan to end something called the individual mandate or the requirement under the Affordable Care act that all americans must buy Health Insurance or pay a tax fine without Healthy People being forced to buy insurance sick people who often cant afford it pay a larger share of the cost people who benefit from government Subsidized Health care are worried units hagler is partially blind as a result of a tumor that wasnt treated in time because she couldnt afford Proper Health care now she does have government help its a matter of life what do. You know its its not a maybe its not ok well we can wait we cant wait. People literally. Can you hear me Patient Health care isnt whats driving these changes its politics the few days left in the legislative calendar and after nearly ten months in office this may be Donald Trumps last hope of delivering tax reform and dismantling obamacare allowing him to keep a Campaign Promise cant really help that aljazeera washington eric levitz is a associate editor at new york magazines daily intelligence or he explains what this means for the republicans yeah i mean its really fascinating what is going on with are looking party right now so they took power in the first thing that republicans did was try to pass a Health Care Bill that would have hurt a wide swath of the country but pacifically would have been really poor elderly people in rural areas because of the nature of the way that it made its Health Care Cuts so a key part of the Republican Base now with this bill actually a lot of provisions that eliminate deductions that are used i believe by upper middle class people which is another significant part of the Republican Base so the republicans in both these bills are really putting their donor classes interests above Everything Else and i think the theory for trump is that you know you can sort of let the masses in caprona these culture work grievances of the n. F. L.
