Gunshots reverberate through the ransack streets of yemens capital sanaa the civil strife that has brought misery to millions of people now the countrys former president Ali Abdullah Saleh is calling for dialogue with the Saudi Led Coalition forces out of hours i need to lift the blockade and open the airports and allow food and medicine into the country we will open a new page for them for dialogue what is happening in yemen is enough sellers one time ally who. Has accused him of deliberately creating un rest to create divisions amongst the anti Saudi Led Coalition bloc who think says his groups focus was always to protect yemens internal Security Guard hospitals and mosques. Would learn he allowed the enemy forces are the ones behind those militias to stare up secretary in troubles in summer and spread sick terrorism to the rest of the provinces why not for the love of those militias if it was up to them they would have crushed humiliated and defeated them but it was in order to facilitate the task of aggression of the enemies and their occupation of the country after failing for nearly a thousand days but analysts think outside pressure may have influence shift an allegiance yemen was already struggling before the war now the u. N. Calls it the largest humanitarian crisis in the world of its twenty five Million People twenty million rely on humanitarian assistance i think its very clear that he maybe wants to but one of his family members and power outage share power with the current legitimate government so i think maybe it seems to me that they might be some collaboration between regional powers. And maybe the legitimate government to somehow overthrow the whole thing is first and then have a sort of serious political talk the Saudi Led Coalition imposed the blockade on all of yemens ports and airports last month of the who things for. A missile that may have targeted riyadh as a result Seventy Eight million yemenis are on the brink of famine the country is also suffering from a corner epidemic which aid workers predict could hit one million sufferers by the end of the year the people of yemen.

The language was. Politically speaking his position is perhaps surprising his russian allies since their intervention in the war in twenty fifteen have turned things around for assad on the battlefield. And in recent months president putin has also been in the driving seat diplomatically reaching understandings with two countries that had led the campaign against assad turkey and saudi arabia it held an important meeting last month in riyadh in a major reorganization prominent opposition figures quit their posts as members of another group with close links to moscow and derived by some as a sad stooges were admitted to the geneva delegation theres also been an important change of emphasis by the un at previous rounds of talks special envoy stefan de mistura as main aim was a Transitional Government it is clear the political transition is the mother of all ages he was working to the exact wording of his predecessor special envoy the former secretary general kofi annan who drew up the geneva communique which was signed by the International Community in twenty twelve the communique which was later rian dorst by a security Council Resolution called for a transitional governing body agreed by Mutual Consent that last bit is important as the opposition has in the past said it would never consent to a sad being part of a transition whats changed is that demas stora has now drawn up a list of twelve principles that he says will guide the negotiations in the future can i also get clarification that you are still seeking to form a transitional governing body with full executive power agreed by Mutual Consent dear twelve. Bring to the book point when you will be reading them and you will recall that event by and we hope to produce this and if there is a dick common and if the ending are completely constantly inspired by did you never communicate it and it twenty to fifty four. But special envoy ive read them and they dont you know you know ive not read them but ive read a version of yeah thats an old version weight and you would seem i waited and down i was off to that Exchange Team a story a published his twelve principles no way in here is there any mention of a transitional governing body of former leader of the opposition is told out the whole process has been compromised western diplomats say de mistura is changing the rules of the game and that his plan now is very russian flavored james bays aljazeera geneva egyptian president ial hopeful a fake has reportedly arrived in cairo after being arrested and deported from the United Arab Emirates she had been based in the u. A. E. Since losing to the Muslim Brotherhood candidate Mohamed Morsi in egypts two thousand and twelve president ial election the former Prime Minister an air force commander announced last week he plans to run for president in two thousand and eighteen and come up president of the tile sisi is widely expected to seek another term so Heart Disease is an associate professor of law at a and university and also a member of the egyptian american rule of law so see a shrink she says it is likely that there is some truth to she thinks claim of being barred from leaving. He clearly has been deported and presumably the reason why he was deported was in retaliation for his claiming that he was barred from departing the u. A. E. For france and a european trip or he was going to be campaigning among the egyptian diaz for there and then presumably heading to egypt so i dont think that he would take such a big Political Risk of insulting his hosts for over five years who effectively gave him refuge while he was facing criminal charges in egypt that he would do Something Like that publicly on a jersey if at least it was there was some truth to it so i think he probably was kept but now hes going to pay a higher price and now i think he is going to face Serious Problems in egypt where we dont know if hes going to be detained and i dont think theres any knowledge right now of where he has been sent to in egypt i think that shifty is a formidable contender and the president ial elections primarily because he has legitimacy as a former general and because he represents the mubarak era and six years now after the socalled revolution of two thousand and eleven there is a significant number of egypt sions who reminisce. For the mubarak era and they would like that era to come back and thats what he represents and presumably there are people in the military and other parts of the Security Apparatus who have signaled to him that they would support him if he announced his candidacy. We are sector defense to mad as has held talks with the egyptian president. And cairo madis also met defense minister said the so being the visit comes days after the war sever attack in egypts modern history in which three hundred people were killed and a bombing in the troubled northern sinai region thousands of people in tel aviv have been protesting against israeli Prime Minister.

Pope francis has defended his silence and me and maher over the plight of a hindu refugee saying he spoke the truth and private has been facing International Criticism for not directly addressing the crisis the pontiff says public denunciation would have prevented his message from being heard. So mentioned earlier while president trunk feels the hate of the russia proby has managed to achieve his first big legislative victory the u. S. Senate approved the biggest tax overhaul since the one nine hundred eighty s. The bill slashes taxes for corporations and democrats complained it only benefited the wealthy and big business tom ackerman has details after last minute changes to appease some holdouts the tax bill passed by the narrowest of margins the age of fifty one and the nays are forty nine. All republicans with one exception voted for the bill which their leader hailed as a tonic for the u. S. Economy we have an opportunity now to make america more competitive and to keep jobs from being shipped offshore and provide substantial relief to the middle class but democrats called it a bonanza for multinational corporations and the ultra rich while adding more than a trillion dollars to the u. S. Debt there is a trail of broken promise broken promise to working families in a mad dash to pass this bill and the American People understand this is the position fired up of continuing attacks on Medicare Medicaid and social security. Most economists have been skeptical that the tax cuts will generate enough growth to make up for the loss in government revenue as the republicans have promised Public Opinion polls show that voters largely oppose the bill based on doubt it will amount to a net gain for most households but its passage would be the biggest republican legislative achievement since donald trump became president we got no democrat help but i think thats going to cost him very big in the election because basically they voted against tax cuts and i dont think politically its good to vote against tax cuts the senate and house which already passed its own versions of tax cuts must still agree on bridging the differences but trump said he looked forward to signing a final bill before Christmas Tom ackerman aljazeera washington. And our time curfew is in place on tourists following days of protests Security Forces have been given extra powers to stop the violence thats followed last sundays president ial election one person has died and dozens were injured after six days a clear winner as yet to emerge from the vote as of now president want to lend a hernandez as an early head of opposition candidate salvador salvador that is most well. All of these acts of vandalism these incidents the settings of fires are not reasonable for hundred of us therefore at the request of many sectors of society and the council of ministers has declared a curfew to safeguard the security of the country. I know apollo joins us now from the capital took a single post so almost a week since this election any end acacia and yet when voters will finally know the official outcome. That is certainly the question on everybodys minds here in honduras we still dont have any indication of when that decision is going to come in fact only a few only about an hour ago the Election Commission actually announced that they were going to going to be suspending activities for the rest of the night so the process really has effectively failed with the leader of the Opposition Party southern that alah saying that he is continuing to denounce these alleged irregularities within the electoral process going as far as accusing president one is of electoral fraud so theres still a lot of tension here in the air even though things have quieted down quite a bit in fact we are now past curfew as you can see behind me the streets are are empty were not seeing anybody out and about knowing that they would be subject to arrest and things are quiet but they remain tense as this this process continues in this in this stalled situation that isnt so bad because it does still continue as she said still dont have any answers yes things are calm now but. Have your are you hearing pardon me that theres going to be more protests. Absolutely in fact what were like i mentioned before were now under under curfew and its a really big difference between what we saw only a day ago when those riots broke out and demonstrators clashed with Police Forces in the midst of this political crisis theres been looting and vandalism widespread all across the country and at the same time were seeing the response from police and military using tactics like tear gas and rubber bullets and using Water Cannons to disperse the crowd so in response to this violence in response to this looting this curfew is now in effect its a strict curfew that begins at six p. M. Local time and it suspends constitutional. Protections for under and citizens and it also means that if youre out side of your home past six oclock youre subject to arrest but the concern remains that if the stalled process continues and further down the line if the announcement is made that one of them do it now and this is declared the president that these that these violent protests will continue peaceful protests are scheduled for the day to come theyre scheduled for tomorrow sunday here and that was the guys by and around the country but the concern the tension is in the air that that the violence could spark up again in the event that a decision is not made by by the authorities by the by the election authorities here in honduras ok and of apollo from. Thank you seventeen people had been killed in northeastern nigeria after two female suicide bombers attacked a market it happened in the town of bew in borno state one of the women is said to have detonated her explosives and its a Distribution Center run by a local aid group. Several Police Officers and a protester have been injured during a rally against the far right alternative for Germany Party anti immigrant anti islam group as electing its new leadership.

As the day began police fired Water Cannons at protesters trying to block the streets at least one protester and several police were injured thousands tried to stop delegates from attending the first conference of the far right party since it won more than ninety seats in the german election we have. Do you want. And. Still be in our town and. There is a fight in germany against. The nazis. Because you know what. Right opinions do to a. Good inside the dispute was not with the leftist protesters fit within the party itself a leadership battle between extreme nationalists and a more moderate of the f. T. Was locked in a stalemate forcing parliamentary leader alexander galland to step in and share power with Current Party head voice than. Hes coming here ok. I think we can Work Together very well i didnt intend to do this you know that i didnt want to pull the chairmanship but a situation came up which was i dont want to say i love strictly for the party but which was dangerous the question now is whether the party can contain ideological differences and appeal to the wider electorate all of this matters because chancellor Angela Merkel is running out of options to form a Coalition Government if germany is forced to go back to the polls could be strengthened further but if she forms a Central Coalition the social democrats are expected the f. T. Will become the biggest opposition voice can follow but for germany this has consequences for a political rhetoric for the way we debate in public and for the way for the tone that ive the sets and social media especially once the bastion of stability in europe its now a messy time in german politics elec alan aljazeera had over. Her independent supporters in spains catalonia region are now turning to music to help get several of their Politicians Free from jail. The.

Qatars foreign minister is calling for a dialogue in the middle east i havent been up to the right man i thought he was asked about the gulf diplomatic crisis in an International Conference in rome he says previous Political Security and economic agreements should not be disrupted by political conflict around half of the waves generated in israel finds its way to the occupied west Bank Increasing rates of unemployment in the past fifteen years many people risk their health by burning the way served valuable raw materials. Reports from. The town of ednas one of the most polluted places in the occupied west bank truckloads of electronic waste make their way here every day the vast majority coming from israel to surround the illegal jewish settlements. Computers air conditioners filters for gas t. V. s and many more discarded goods littered in multiple workshops in and around the town. Its a dangerous job for example there are gases in the air conditioners if you dont let them out it could explode in your face one must be very careful each item is taken apart every single component has a different use and price take a computer for example. The hard disk case goes into a pile then we separate the c. P. U. From the motherboard its more expensive but we also look for cables and send them to the grinder to separate aluminum from copper we do this to all the items we receive. The parts then are sold back to israel but its valuable materials such as copper wire that are the most profitable a good chunk of this waste gets burnt illegally because its simpler and easier to extract copper this way usually happens on the hill surrounding the time but this is Agricultural Land a look at whats left behind. The burning happens usually at night the minerals are distracted the shark old remains left a small four hours miss back is furious which each fire more of his crops are destroyed. Like a cancer no one can walk here any more. Even the sheep can to be here theyre not breeding any more look at them i only three isnt that that as shane looking around most of his olive trees have been poisoned by the toxic fumes Scientists Say this unregulated transfer of electronic waste is having a long term impact on the people of it and its landscape recent tests and so. Samples have revealed some astonishing results. We were shocked by the high levels of heavy metals like cadmium in the lead the already existing usually around one milligram particularly but we found tens of thousands of other grounds we cue little soil in the samples thats a very high level and we destroy the soil and it affects human life is a major concern particles of heavy metals that dont decompose and make their way to do. It now was once a town that thrived in agriculture known for its own lives and. Now its fields are home to carcasses of t. V. s computers and fridges but at the. Bike and staying in the occupied west bank people are preparing for christmas in an area believed to be a place of birth the Christmas Tree lights and bethlehems manger square next to the church of the nativity they have been switched on if you can christmas a this a major event from bethlehem and thousands of international tourists.
