Im femi oke from the well why the refugee crisis to the fool of the longtime zimbabwean leader Robert Mugabe alcoves for an independent catalonia the steamy scenes tons of great show pitches from new out Online Community and while we cover as many of your story ideas as possible we can get to them all but today we explore the latest news about four important stories you suggested im really could be and youre now in the stream live on aljazeera and you tube we start in long tall in sanaa where the only guy in humanitarian crisis has reportedly put millions of people right on the brink of starvation is our correspondent. Reports on one thousand days of conflict. But the conflict in yemen shows no sign of abating on tuesday the who thing is why its a Political Science two was the subject capital riyadh they say they were targeting senior officials at the royal palace saudi arabia accuses iran of supplying the healthiest with the messiah and thats the conflicts continue as there are fears of why the confrontation and. Meanwhile the fighting great just near the capital sinai forces loyal to president i was. Struggling to break the defense lines thousands of people have been killed since the start of the conflict into a thousand and fifteen on the im going to my hope is that two thousand and eighteen comes along with peace and of aggression and blockade imposed on my country but i also hope that all the parties come together and build a democratic state. The saudi led coalitions blockade of yemen has been widely condemned by International Agencies including the United Nations but it has agreed to temporarily open. Who think controlled port of her data to allow some aid into the country will that be enough to help a nation brought to its knees by war here with us to explain in new york city. Is the cofounder of the morton organization for human rights welcome to the stream raj i want to start with this tweet from someone whos handle is yemen needs help they write yemen really needs help if help does not come so quick i fear the worst could happen i left because i didnt know when help would come as you know whats the most critical need for civilians in yemen right now. The problem that all needs in yemen now is critical people they dont have some of these that isnt normally the closest and there is no state and there is a lot of violations against civilians so what is more critical maybe forward but also all the details in yemen needs im certain of international n. G. O. S now saying that twenty two Million People they started off held or have protection and this is almost all of us all of us as yemenis. So whenever we talk about the humanitarian crisis in yemen we should remember that it is a manmade disaster but when you talk about human rights abuses can you be a little bit more specific what if you found out. All parties to the conflict in yemen they commit violations against civilians. Some of the in merit in that condition or the force or status and or had a government so it is killing my ming detention and land mines attacking hospitals and schools torture and force the security and all these kinds of violations civilians are facing in yemen and also drones are playing a role in this and civilians are affected by these kinds of. So its its increasing its not when every yemeni is say this is the worst situation and then its not going to be worse then it gets worse and worse with the time we got this coming here from a frozen twitter who says the situation could have been much better but the International Community is busy estimating while on the ground were already behind time i know reaching a many people is a big issue but those having power meaning the International Community can do much more what would you say to International Actors what role do you think that they have to play in this future of yemen this is very true and i can say to the International Community especially u. S. U. K. France and also iran to stop fueling the war in yemen which is a very sound in yemen that peace is always possible but it never happens not because the situation is complicated but because no one cares and there is no serious the steps towards peace and negotiations and it is very possible this is true its getting more complicated with time possible i want to show our audience. About what happens to civilians who get caught in the crossfire get caught in this conflict this is little nora and we featured her in a recent al jazeera report have a look. And i used to go to school on foot my life was beautiful because i could walk on right now i cant walk to school i can only go with a wheelchair i used to be able to sit in the chair at my desk and write but now when i tried to write my hand hurts i used to love writing but now i cant even hold a pen. How are you able to find out how civilians are doing how to children are doing in yemen. Yeah i like that the poor the mosquito was using i used to yeah yemeni human was never good but the situation was never horrible like this before so young men used to used to have some life but now they just lose it and for childrens just to wars because they are a direct victims for the strikes that induce canary chilling and also they cant go to score any more and hospitals and schools are destroyed and children afflicted of this theyre also affected by cholera and they dont have a future. Many of them they just i mean if theyre here it was four years that they did they know nothing about the normal life and they get very scared because of the sounds of the strikes so and what is very sad in yemen now its the unknown future people they dont know whats going to be have in whats next especially after the clashes in sanaa. They think that thinks become more complicated and they dont know whats going to be have been who will fight who. And what is the result because they see that after these years of war there is no military. Victory and all authorities controlling the ground with their inside out aden they have the scene attitude regarding people and civilians they are armed groups who are just controlling the ground and a very bad way they are supposed to be a state and theyre in the south for example but there is no state not in center and not in. Want to go below the last question from supper and she says theres clearly not been enough help from International Groups as the situation in yemen is a curious thing the question then is what needs to be done differently for there to be a resolution because current strategies are working do you have any hope for a Peace Process. I have a very big call for Peace Process because they know its possible and i want to say thank you to their international indios they are doing a very good work i also need many people but for the states like e. P. A. Us in france there are few winning of the war when they have a lot to do and they can push for Peace Process and they can push for a new resolution and they need to pee pushed wrong as civil society. And human can be a success for the story and its going to be a very sad that we just lost the chance we will continue to follow whats happening in aljazeera and cover it but for now thank you so much rather for providing us with the very latest and now we go to the streets or to consider in honduras the countrys president ial election on the twenty six of november ignited deadly clashes between protesters and soldiers following the reelection of president one orlando headline this by a very slim margin check out this report from al jazeera shallots bets. On journeys react to the announcements that one Orlando Hernandez is back as president supporters of his challengers donors around a convinced of electoral fraud. And convinced they can stop hernandez from taking office initial count suggested the leftist candidate won then the tally was reversed given conservative and then does a slim ladies and his opponents argue he should never run the honduran constitution limits president s to one term but two years ago the Supreme Court dominated by judges appointed by lending his rule to term limits dont apply to him then came the allegations of voting irregularities. Recently traveled to washington d. C. To plead his case but hernandez says victory has already been recognized by a number of governments including the u. S. And mexico as. Saying so would as well accept this apparent defeat while his supporters continue to monitor this step down joining us in honduras some of the cuff is a freelance journalist and shes reported widely on the country sounded good to have you here with some of your pictures how about can my laptop voices from the barricades protest against election for intensify in honduras you out there on the streets reporting what do you see going on hand. So far nighttime barricades that a lot of the Media Coverage that are focused on the top level things like the little party theyre saying is going to stay but i think its really important to know that on the ground all over one there are there are ongoing protests blocking a. Barricade so this is in neighborhoods if it was to go ninety minutes people taking to the street the fire are crossing main roads in arteries in the city and so this is all that in our electoral fraud and all of those pictures were. From just a few days ago on the past sunday on december seventeenth the electoral tribunal recognized the current president on the matter as the winner and. The opposition line supporters and people around the country are not recognizing the genesis. Of that announcement and of the presidency so the credit the ongoing and i just wanted to clarify at the beginning you said something about deadly or violent clashes between protesters and soldiers so there have been more than twenty five People Killed most of those are protesters by Security Forces there is really violent repression against protests and of blockades around the country and that state violence you know this is an. Equal fight in the streets opening fire on protesters thats been condemned by the un and the oas others i want to bring this point up to you this is a tweet we got from vienna and she says i believe i speak for eighty percent of one door and when i say that unfortunately it seems like the only way of correcting such a corrupted election process is with the oas proposal for new elections we know salvador one but the current government will never accept it a second round is consequently our last and only resource i want to hone in on that eighty percent of course thats unscientific poll there but what is Public Opinion like when it comes to this well when the end National Results so if you actually are held like you mentioned out of every twenty six and after polls closed more than nine hours later if the initial results that were released had sought after all the opposition candidate with a fire going. And so. You know there are system crashes all sorts of regularity you know the organization of american states isnt recognizing or validating the results of the election and election observers on the ground and so thats where the proposal for new elections has come from so i cant really comment on the eighty percent definitely it seems quite clear that naturalize. Had that supposedly or her support five point lead and i also think that since the elections you know the government implemented state of exception more than two dozen people being killed including a young girl just the other day up nor and so i think probably since the election theres probably even more. Opposition to the government given the you know the outcome of the election and whats been going on since then sandra on your twitter feed you have to spin to the top they want to impose a president on us anjelica madonnas said at a nighttime street blockaded her neighborhood we dont want a dictator from your inside reporting or putting on the street what do you think might happen next. For now large i think the press is going to continue their protests and roadblocks theyre going to continue repression will probably continue the only proposal that might sort of change the Current Situation is probably in south florida new elections or a second round of elections. Then you know today for example just in less than three hours theres going to be another mass vote like patient five u. S. Embassy i think thats another thing that really hasnt had enough focus on it is the u. S. Role in all of that. People widely see the u. S. As having legitimized and extreme a lot of protests contrary to the aware electoral commission. So for now unless something serious changes theres going to be ongoing protests ongoing road blockades around the country and. The question. Looking at the ongoing protests i wonder though what comes after that this is what we got from maria she says i believe this illegal reelection as she called it will bring irreparable consequences to our country what do you think those consequences might be from what youre hearing from people that you talk to. Im just that its going to be complex nobody believes at the moment in anything state institutions say. Or in the judicial system or in any Security Force and so its in some ways its similar to the two thousand and nine crew data which deposed our then president Manuel Zelaya it was actually the court mater of the current Opposition Alliance against the dictatorship is not a president ial candidate or better and so after the coup you know you had some countries recognize the postcoup regime others not and you have literally months and months of resistance in the streets and out of state Security Forces acting out against protesters so hopefully thats not going to be the case here but definitely you know its their african Christian Country christmas is coming out everyone expects to be in the streets over the holidays and we are the center will be keeping an eye out thank you for joining us to share your reporting now to the outskirts of freetown sierra leone where a devastating mudslide in august killed hundreds take a look at this video reported by al jazeera as mina dead bodies. This is where hundreds of survivors have been living since their homes were destroyed from the mudslide the killed at least five hundred people certainly his government is giving the displaced Cash Compensation almost seven hundred u. S. Dollars for each family but theres concern over whether they will actually get everything promised authorities see the camps are officially closed now the process of moving people out though will take time they say they will not tell anyone to leave until they have the compensation hundreds of children also lost parents in the disaster the government says it will build an additional one thousand homes for those affected. So this story about sunni and the mudslides was pitched to me all twitter by samuel cool have a listen to what he had to say about them outside our choose to highlight of my people ive been victims of the most right because. Off there off the equator response that they have received from their government. Or so the in lack of meat in their basic needs the International Community has provided enough resources to meet the needs of these people because of corruption in the contrary these peoples needs will never be met but joining us on the phone in freetown to get more on the story i will back that are tara wiley is a spokesman for the sierra leone red cross welcome to the stream of a back there now you heard in that video from sami or about it in adequate government response thats what were hearing all the across the board from people who are tweeting to us this is a jury actually says we need the government to publicly account for what exactly has been done with all the funds that were provided by international as well as local donors and so far none has been forthcoming how does anough finally gotten to the victims and survivors of the mudslide. That left many lives. Lost and many homes destroyed. Adequately responded to as far as a concern as far as the red cross but that he was concerned. Already over the last weeks and months of the imagine peters bones we have paid a lot of attention on so many three mean disbelief and i said that populations incomes and neighboring communities and in their lands for your transition and reintegration back into their normal everyday life right i mean so far as i am concerned and even know. We are talking very what we refer to be called reports a very social being pulled out is supposed to mean to two people that are victims of these. I mean from from the the budget he responds the red cross continues to walk with other partners and the callers who support the recalls and from the floor of a bank or like i just want to remind people what you having to recover from this is alex and this video was put out by the organization this was back in august have a listen to what alex had to go straight up told her to take my wife my car and so this was to me was what got everybody was sort of want to bring everyone in we are going to be out one day a week for my room it was only what we had gotten were not going to bed we asked if it was everything was just great there was one of those im going to be out there with the no microphone. So they made it a crisis is a lot of the apple backa but how are people getting back into the hopes is not possible when. Evidently many homes were wiped out. Hundreds of lives lost and holders are still believed to be missing but the fact remains that two men those who work has been put into trying to take care and respond to their plight as far as the red cross is concerned and a lot is still being gone in in collaboration with stakeholders in the country with support of course from partners both within and outside of a little like i have said just judging from the clip that you just played you would realize it was a really very bad situation. Which wanted very close to mobilize. Its volunteers and personnel to to better forefront use world. Providing the use will support to address the most cogent need i mean when theyre disasters you would want to address the most urgent needs and providing timely relevant and actionable and life enhancing information as well as providing the teams with food and nonfood items so i was also follows side we say is also trying to support them to deal with. Like. Basic needs that were destroyed and affected like hygiene and sanitation facilities access to clean and green field Drinking Water. Some of the relevant social amenities that were destroyed so basically what the red cross is doing now is helping with new holes in in the affected communities for improved access to your Drinking Water and ive been there i hear you there and i want to get in one more comment because this is someone who is an activist and shes posted a story this is what josephine told the stream. The fact is some of these People Living in disaster prone areas are staying there because of their Life Activities like fish farming and would log in wanting it sexual we actually have not presented any alternative livelihood activities to them and governments with every single donation received rearing dirt september sixteenth twenty fifth in flooring to be august fourteenth morts light in twenty seventeen i have not done any sustainable recovery. Our thanks to joseph income are for leaving that video and to a backer for updating us on Recovery Efforts and zero.
