A than this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes damning chronicles of Human Rights Violations the u. N. Report says. Saudi Led Coalition may have committed war crimes. U. S. President don trump extends the Iran Nuclear Deal but with tough conditions for the future russia says the move is extremely negative. We report from a camp for internally displaced people in syria. Plus as International Tech giants descend on last vegas we check out was. Being given access to an unpublished un report that chronicles the extent of Human Rights Violations and possible war crimes in the war in yemen has also details the extent to which saudi arabia and. Iran have intervened in the conflict the assessment firsthand presented rather to the Security Council is sharply critical of saudi Led Coalition airstrikes which of cause the majority of civilian deaths in the war the findings also bolster accusations by the u. S. That it rainin weapons have been supplied to who through rebels breaking a un embargo the report further accuses the u. A. E. Of running torture camps in yemen where people have been beaten and electrocuted panel paints a devastating picture of a conflict thats killed more than ten thousand people and led to widespread famine and displacement aljazeera is diplomatic editor james bays has more from the u. N. This is a report to the u. N. Security council has not been made public its only been given to the fifteen members of the Security Council but ive been allowed to read a copy and its very hard hitting and very critical of all of the parties in the war in yemen it questions whether yemen can continue to be one country it says in the south because of the length of the war in the divisions that have emerged there is the real possibility of secession into a separate south yemen it says in the south of the country people displaying the flag of the old country of south yemen and are not loyal to president had the although theyre formally under his command it says that president heidi has no longer effective command and control of the military and Security Forces in the south of yemen it says one of the reasons that there is this lack of stability in yemen is actually the forces that have been built up by the saudi Led Coalition it says that there are proxy units that they have drawn up but it says that these units will do more to further the fragility of yemen then they will do to hold the state together it says they pose a threat to peace and stability in yemen it is also very critical of the coalition for civilian casualties in yemen it says that it appears that the saudi Led Coalition has not been following International Humanitarian law and it says its likely that some of those who are responsible for planning and executing airstrikes fall under the designation of the Security Council as people who should be subject to sanctions again the another damning part of the report is about the u. N. A part of the coalition in the camps there running inside yemen it says that there has been torture in these camps it talks about beatings electrocution constrain suspension the use of what. Cools the cage which is confinement in a cage in the sunlight and the denial of medical treatment it says working with the government of yemen gives the u. A. E. Plausible deniability so it is a possibility and now given this report by the panel of experts the Security Council must consider whether there should be sanctions against members of the coalition and also sanctions against iran because the who these side are also criticized it says that there have been military remnants of military equipment and drones that are of iranian origin and were introduced in yemen after the Security Council adopted an arms embargo lets bring in adam baron now from beirut hes a visiting fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations good to have you with us so this report you think it will prompt the Security Council into action over yemen i mean lets lets put it this way youve had a war that has dragged on for a number of years now youve had repeated. I would say hapless diplomatic intervention by the u. N. And in a lot of ways this report isnt saying anything that people are following that people that follow yemen didnt already know but are they were they its kind of officially documented now that there are serious violations that the u. N. Itself is has documented a potential war crimes indeed but i you had in a lot of with these were primarily additions have been going around and been voiced by a number of u. N. Officials for some time dont get me wrong i think this is very important that these things are being documented if not you know perhaps for immediate action for the sake of the future and for it to be recorded in history but i think in a lot of where is unfortunately and particularly with. I would say the lack of u. S. Leadership in the region at this point its really hard to imagine there being sustained diplomatic action on yemen at this point despite the i would say severity of the allegations that were seeing in this report and the deep severity of the situation in yemen right now if you will prompt other countries then at least to impose more of those arms embargoes that weve seen some countries take now thats a possibility you have seen quite recently norway announced that it will no longer be selling arms to Coalition States theres been talk in the i think the Coalition Debates in germany in terms of the Coalition Forming about germany potentially restricting its arms sales to Coalition Member states so i think this is the kind of thing that could make that more difficult and could also spur more of the discussion in countries like the u. S. And u. K. Which are more than likely to continue selling arms youve already had a theres been a quite a significant uptick in conversation in criticism of the u. S. Role in the war in yemen over the past year and i think this u. N. Report is something that could could really increase the conversation among particularly u. S. Lawmakers on the yemen file if that happens i mean how damaging will this be to the diplomacy of countries like saudi arabia in the u. A. E. And in their relations. I mean in a way this is almost this is almost worse when you look at it its easy for them to for people to kind of deflect and that goes not just for the states that are involved in this conflict with the respecting saudi arabia whoever it on. But this is also in terms of internal parties and youve seen i guarantee you that you will have significant reporting on this document by media aligned with all of the key word in part is that being said what youre going to see is you know when say the who fees and theyre allied media are talking about this report they leave out all of the stuff criticizing the hoodies and when you see you know. Media aligned with some of the Coalition Member states theyll completely report on the allegations against the who it is and the documented uses by the these but will leave out other things so i think thats kind of an in issue at this point is there is this climate really of of impunity in the conflict in yemen and when you have all sides really committing these kind of violations it makes it even harder to really hold anybody to accounts and unfortunately this just underlines the extent that this conflict continues to be just a horrific tragedy for the yemeni people who while the leaders are largely crying rich off this war continue to suffer the worlds worst humanitarian crisis or adam thanks for your thoughts on that. Now the u. S. President of trump has extended the landmark Iran Nuclear Deal said its the last time hell do so hes warning americas european allies hell withdraw from the two thousand and fifteen agreement unless what he calls disastrous flaws are addressed russia says trumps comments are extremely negative alan fischer reports from washington d. C. Europes diplomats met in brussels to urge the u. S. To continue with the Iran Nuclear Deal seeing they believed it improved Global Security know donald trump has agreed but says he wont do it again in a Statement Issued from the white house he called on his european allies to negotiate a supplemental deal in the next one hundred twenty days which would place a fresh restrictions on iran seeing today im weaving the application of certain Nuclear Sanctions but only in order to secure our european allies agreement to fix the terrible flaws of the Iran Nuclear Deal this is a last chance in the absence of such an agreement the United States will not again we have sanctions in order to stay in the Iran Nuclear Deal and he warned those who for whatever reason choose not to work with us will be siding with the iranian regimes Nuclear Ambitions and against the people of iran and the peaceful nations of the world under u. S. Law the president has to regularly recertify the deal donald trump has repeatedly called the iran deal the watch hes ever seen and pledged before he became president to scrap it at the end of last year he want he was ready to step away iran is not living up to the spirit of the deal but one of the deals architects says the deal is working there is no dispute that iran is living up to its obligations which we negotiated with iran and its like that we should live up to our obligations to that does not mean that we shouldnt address other aspects of iranian behavior which course concern whether its irans aggressive Foreign Policy its political Missile Program which human rights record Top White House also known as the new round of nonNuclear Sanctions targeting groups and individuals it believes. Have committed human rights abuses and book freedom of speech in iran insists it is outlined to europeanize what it wants to see happen but theres no indication the europeans are ready to renegotiate a deal in the next one hundred twenty days the two years to craft and put in place. Ill just you know washington. Is in teheran for us so saying that what posture does teheran think the europeans will take on this this might be the key point at this stage well sammy this repeating deadline really brings everyone back to the same place every three or four months and similar to what happened last time the foreign minister javad zarif began campaigning once again to try to secure support and rally around a nuclear deal going to brussels he went to moscow and really the European Partners from the p five plus one countries in fact all the p five plus one countries other than the United States were really supportive of this deal in irans European Partners who negotiated the deal with them have have voiced their support all along and as long as iran is in compliance with the nuclear deal something that the u. N. Washed up agency the i. A. E. A. Has continuously verified you know european support is likely to stay and that is no doubt what is bolstering irans confidence in this war of words with the United States the debate getting more and more heated every time this deadline for verification in the United States comes up so i think the lawmakers here the people here that weve spoken to are all very confident that as long as they have the backing of european allies the support of european allies and as long as sanctions from European Countries remain lifted that they still got a horse in this race and are likely to stand by the deal as well. In terms of average iranians are they bracing themselves for perhaps some more unilateral u. S. Sanctions if not the collapse of this deal and a return to international sanctions. I mean that really is an excellent question i mean we got a government here he says that yes on the Macro Economic scale the nuclear deal has yielded positive results iran has been able to sell oil again on the International Market two Million Barrels a day. Higher than it was able to do under sanctions so the Macro Economy has been affected as that trickle down to normal people really depends on who you ask many people weve spoken to say that they have not felt the impact of sanctions being lifted out of the nuclear deal and its benefits directly in their pockets and many people are starting to take the trip white house his positions of Foreign Policy positions when it comes to run quite personally one woman we spoke to said that nobody likes trump not even his mother likes him and thats not meant to be a cheap shot at the u. S. President that really gives you a sense of how personally attacked iranians feel by this white house now its been suggested theres not not a formal proposal put forward by any european power this moment that has been suggested that perhaps a compromise could be to negotiate another agreement covering Ballistic Missile activity by the iranians any indications from iranian authorities on that suggestion. Well whatever irans leaders are negotiating behind closed doors publicly theyve been very very black and white about this there is no renegotiating of this nuclear deal the deal that they have sent the deal that was very hard won negotiated over many many months that is the deal that they have abided by and the commitments that everyone has made to that deal that they should stick to as well and really the point there is for iran to send a message to the United States saying that you cant just come in halfway through and decide to change the rules of the game now as far as their Ballistic Missiles program iran has said over and over again in fact shortly after the foreign minister reacted on twitter to trumps announcement yesterday a Parliamentary Commission for National Security also reacted very quickly saying that the ballistic Missile Programs off the table reiterating a longstanding point iran says that its self defense capabilities are its own business it exists in a very tough neighborhood and strength is. A point that they have to project and so they say that the Ballistic Missiles program is a part of their self Defense Strategy and is thereby nonnegotiable so whether or not thats up for debate and some other kind of deal really thats all a matter of time but for now publicly irans leaders all saying the same thing their defensive capabilities are not up for negotiation right zambia savi that sometimes ron thanks so much. Probably most allowed on the news hour including court in the dark why indias top four judges are up in arms against the chief justice. African members of the u. N. Demand President Trumpery tranks is reported vulgar description of a countrys accusing him of racism and xenophobia. And found a house here in casablanca when the locals getting ready to host one of the biggest competition in the continent the african nations champion said. The new head of south africas Ruling African National congress is addressing members at the partys one hundred sixth anniversary served on the first line in his vision for the Antiapartheid Movement that became the countrys first democratic government is widely seen as a possible successor to president jacob zuma who is expected to step down when his term ends next year. African nations are demanding an apology and rid traction from the u. S. President over his reported use of vulgar language in a meeting on immigration than trump is said to have used a slur to describe their countries as well as haiti and el salvador african ambassador to the United Nations have issued a joint statement condemning trumps remarks we shall pay tribute to the contribution newson mandela may over the cause of his ninety five years to the struggle for freedom and the cause of humanity. We shall make it up her aides that we draw lessons and inspiration from his life as we confront the challenge of the present moment we shall use this historic occasion to unite to rebuild and to renew his movement. Now President Trump is also being accused of lying often denying use the abusive terms a democratic senator who was in the meeting with trump has said the comments were a made all White House Correspondent kimberly how it has more to control the sea and spread far beyond the u. S. Capitol. Surrounded by members of the Africanamerican Community at a white house ceremony honoring the civil rights icon dr Martin Luther king donald trump made no apology for his alleged racist comments a day earlier. Right series of Early Morning tweets donald trump denied media reports that he had called haiti el salvador and african countries shitholes during a meeting with senators on immigration but he did admit the language he used was tough he also denied saying anything derogatory about haitians other than haiti is obviously a very poor and troubled country of my own were here today standing beside the president in the oval office with dr Martin Luther king jrs nephew later he told aljazeera he believes trump has much to learn about tolerance but is not hateful i honestly dont think the President Trump is a racist i think hes racially uninformed weve got time to do it democratic senator dick durbin was at thursdays white house meeting and says trump made the controversy all comments words he calls vile and racist he said these hateful things that he said there were people. Tribes comments have stung many in the country including the tens of thousands of haitians who came to the United States after the devastating twenty ten earthquake it was kind of disturbing you know it was hurtful to my community my carry members of the president s own republican party. They have distanced themselves from trucks comments calling them problematic as politicians try to come to an agreement on immigration and funding to avoid an imminent Government Shutdown i read those comments later last night so first thing that came to my mind was very unfortunate unhelpful it is incomprehensible that these words came out of the mouth of the president of the United States of america a country that was founded on. Being free from discrimination the calls for the president to apologize for his remarks are intensifying inside and outside the United States but for now it appears that apology is unlikely kimberly helped at al jazeera washington and that into reaction also intensifying in the u. N. Heres what god as a bus that had to say the African Group of a to the United Nations met in emergency session on twelve. Twenty eighteen to consider the remarks made by the president of the United States and is extremely appalled at and strongly condemns the outrageous racist and xenophobic remarks attributed to the president of the United States of america as widely reported in the media demands a retraction and apology. Lets take you back to south africa now where the new head of the a. N. C. Is addressing the Party Faithful weve got tanya paige standing by at that meeting and so tell us a little bit about the vision which Cyril Ramaphosa has been outlining what does it look like. Well there are remote pozo basically wants to take the African National congress back to its roots he spent a lot of his speech which im still going but speaking about late president Nelson Mandela and talking about the need for renewal within the a. N. C. To take it back to the ideals that now stand mandela to remember why and was formed and who it was formed for for the people he talked about the legacy of colonialism and of hard hate handed how that still south with the majority of poor people being black and the rich and the majority of privileged being white we need to refocus do some restructuring and renew our energy. Forming creating a more equal society. Those messages might be well received but many people as you know time is still struggling with economic challenges and hardships as they had and i think in terms of a new plan to deal with issues like that. Well the amc came out with some new policies had it elected conference just last month the two big ones really being a side there that they now want to change the constitution so that they can take land appropriate land without given compensation but only as long as it doesnt affect security and it also is introducing free Tertiary Education to poor and middle class students those two combined have the potential to dramatically change the number of black students graduating with degrees and also the number of black people who have access to land one of the interesting things playing out on the stage is this. And spoken of tension between the current president of the a. N. C. Several store got on the poster and the former president of the a. N. C. Although president still president of the country jacob zuma when theyre not opposed to enter there was a huge wall from the crowd of applause when the president zuma entered there was some applause but they were also quite a few and thumbs down being pointed so we can expect to see also this year as well as the renewal that hes talking about the Development Talk that tension between these two competing ideologue ideologies within the a. N. C. I will leave it there for now thanks so much tanya page. Now for Indian Supreme Court judges have held an unprecedented News Conference to criticize the chief justice cuse him of allocating judges to cases the judges said all this presents a danger to democracy in india chief justice is yet to respond.

A senior resident fellow at the video center for legal policy he says the Indian Government now faces intense pressure to increase the transparency of the judiciary. In the short film develop there will have to be some sort of oh right going to a public reckoning in terms of what is happening oh i dont think in the short film we will get an instant solution that the site the fact that before judges have come out in the public and said all of this is just the mechanisms fit to go back a bit yesterdays press conference stockard with though a preamble to the floor does well but you dust up in the in the morning listing of decadence of the dozens of the post and that is that they have been raising these concerns for months not only the discussions of it happening but a normal acceptable solution and i bet they have simply been roughest right which is why they have altered this step none of them would be good for any person to get away from which is why i think of the fact that there are a lot of those that suggests that that is something that got as much as feet after the bill that i want to it was a not it was possible once and i know is that you should he feels realize that that would be a situation and what was in place mechanisms these plans but its an accountability vote along comes an audio is that the government finds a leader who are going to be undermining the credibility of the city from the out on the ne a few moments well have all the way the with have to must still ahead on aljazeera israel siege of gaza tips its Waste Management to crisis point.

Supporters of a palestinian teenager detained by israel are gathering in the occupied west bank to demand her release sixteen year old i had to mimi has been behind bars since last month when a video of slapping Israeli Soldiers went viral lawyers say to mean he could face jail time if shes convicted of the charges which include assault on friday the e. U. Expressed concern over to me means detention and the arrests of more than three hundred other palestinian minors. Joins us now from there be salles or tell us how the demonstrations are going where you are now well theyre gathering just behind me most just down the road theyre going to walk up the hill to the to me household which is just that theyre going to gather and issue a statement and a press conference that all the messages that are coming out here are very simple this actually two messages that are coming out one to the palestinian leadership that there needs to be a determined peaceful Nonviolent Resistance Movement to take place and thats really what theyre calling for here but also want to the israelis as well saying that i had to be me and her mother need to be released from military detention thats worth pointing out here that here in the occupied west bank there are two forms of law for the Israeli Settlers and the settlements they come under israeli civil and criminal law the palestinians are actually coming under military law and those military courts are the ones that i mean is going through and theres a hearing on monday for that which is why theyre doing this gathering today have been criticized for being incredibly harsh particularly on mine is by International Human Rights Groups so theres a real fear. Could face a very. Strict a very strong sentence for what she did as a minus a lot of people very angry here were expecting them to gather within about the next twenty minutes or so. Is there a feeling that shes emerging i have these emerging as some kind of symbol for the palestinian protest and resistance against occupation in iran. Thats absolutely right shes been certainly becoming the one name that lots of people both here in palestine the occupied territories and internationally seem to identify with because she was so young because shes been an activist for a very long time because a family have been through so much at the hands of the Israeli Occupation forces as they call them so she is becoming very much a symbol for this and thats why people are gathering here today now these raids also you know this is well that actually they were i am right now into a closed military zone thats likely to be to try and stop more protesters from coming into the from neighboring areas all right thanks so much a ten year old blockade by the of the gaza strip rather by israel and egypt has left its municipal authorities with no means to properly dispose of rubbish piles of garbage putting Public Health at risk of explains. One of the many problems in a city under siege how to dispose of its rubbish. Its a joke to help cling to it using it donkey and cart. The blockade of gaza by israel and the few refuse trucks and fuel is expensive for sure you go live surely there is no other country in the world using donkeys to collect the rubbish if we had proper vehicles and enough fuel it would be faster and make our work much easier because the strips home to about two Million People to most entirely people in the cities wastes loaded in trucks and taken here. Two giant open dump. Its one of three one of them close to peoples homes its enormous it just goes on and on and it stinks its hard not to gag standing here just a few hundred meters in this direction is the separation wall built by israel around. About a kilometer over here is the edge of the city so theres just no other space. The municipal waste manager told us to dump him its not just gases and liquids and so its a Public Health hazard the authorities struggle to import machinery needed for processing all recycling because israel restricts the import of anything it says could be used to make weapons. Model for life it is known all over the world that at least some of the rubbish should be recycled but in gaza we cannot recycle anything we dont have any factories that could reuse the plastic or steel so the only way to deal with it is to dump it here. But with more than forty percent unemployment theres a living to be made here to. These men search for whatever they can sell none of them agreed to an interview he told us theyre ashamed to be seen here. The city produces nearly two thousand tons of waste every day the site will be full in about two years and as long as the seed lasts gasses dumbs and its rubbish problem only get bigger malcolm webb aljazeera in the gaza strip. The Syrian Government forces and their russian allies are continuing attacks in eastern so far the violence has killed more than thirty people in three days and the regime is also battling Opposition Forces in the Northern Province of idlib as it attempts to take over a major airbase now it live is one of the last major rebel strongholds hundred twenty thousand people have fled in the past three weeks. Joins us now from the refugee camp in the northern syrian village of kufa so what are people fleeing to when they come to camps like one euro. Than me actually those People Living in the scam most of them came from there in hama after the air strikes began by the Syrian Regime or they were. Being wrong and. Losing each other but the fact is they were stuck and they were stuck between two fires by the regime and by i felt so they lamely when we called them late late late in the conflict and the more than emong that you because even one side captured they have been there and. The. Residents of the area as a member or sympathiser of the other side in short i can say that they escaped from. The plane from italy one of the last major rebel strongholds whats happening there how precarious is the opposition control of the territory that. Well yes its a prison last stronghold of opposition and there is the salvation government that was established in almost around six months ago. The situation is pretty dry out here because they are if the strikes continue. Everybody is afraid that there will be more people leaving is being displaced leaving their homes then this means as the immigration exit as the number of the migrants grow it is impossible to control them and check them and by that way a people meaning the n. G. O. S and also the turkish government try to hint that they will it would be different difficult to differentiate between the civilians and explore ideas of other groups which is a risk and i spoke to the injury present this year and also the Migration Office or presence of a salvation government by opposition and they said if everything continues like that theyre expecting five hundred thousand people more coming to the protests for days which means despite the wall the prettiest douglas riots for days people will be at the beginning of this if its not them some its movie is clearly. The infrastructure that is not. A little bit not a little more theyre older despite hundred thirty seven hundred thousand people residing in this area. No one is able to imagine if five hundred thousand more come to this. To this land because the land is also narrowed here and some of the people are going back to other champs other places but most of them are still here. And people wherever we called they say they need Immediate Response from International Community and immediate assistance humanitarian assistance from the International Organizations something alright and of course although thanks so much for that.

The government says those who have been detained were involved in attacks against police stations the protesters on the other hand accused tunisia and authorities of an indiscriminate crackdown look but it was clear in your piece on c. N. N. Is that the biggest problem is with those who govern us nothing is changing to this is the same elite the governess the same tactics they claim there are freedoms if you express your views in the streets you end up in jail the police are chasing us. The police have been given strict orders not to use force to disperse the crowds these are tense times in the country was was protesters are venting their frustration of the government introduced tara to measures and increased taxes officials here say the measures are crucial to eliminate it budget deficit and improve declining revenues from agriculture mining and tourism to his ears vital economic sectors. We want the government to scrap the tax increases many people are suffering because of the price rises particularly implore rural areas like city busied catarina where communities have been grappling with discrimination for decades this is made by the government as against the will of the people. Prime minister used to share here has visited some of the areas of the protest is a. Used a popular front a coalition of leftist opposition parties of inciting and rast but the opposition insists the rallies are legitimate expressions of frustration over a government they say has betrayed its people army units have been deployed in many cities to protect government buildings and prevent it descent into chaos this is a delicate issue for the Government Back to out of the tax increases the budget deficit will continue to strain the states finances but if it goes ahead with the austerity measures public anger might lead to further instability.

Argentinas labor unions are among the strongest in latin america but their standing has been damaged after several Union Leaders were arrested for corruption some however believe the arrests are a way for the government to pressure unions to support its policies to rise above reports from neighboring europe why. This house in the small city of new or why has raised a lot of questions over the years its size and opulence intrigued people like antonucci as who has been living here for ten years he has just found out that he is a fugitive argentinian Labor Union Leader. There was something strange because of the amount of money and i believe that maybe it was Money Laundering but he was good with the community and it was none of our business the owner of the land this matter. The leader of an important labor union in neighboring argentina he was arrested here last week and is awaiting extradition to his home Country Police say they found at least five hundred thousand dollars in cash and weapons they also ceased luxury cars like mercedes and ferraris worth at least two million dollars. Not a fellow out of fear owns at least two properties in order why this one specifically the whole so had a private so with exotic animals this place was raided by the police at the request of an argentinean charge that is investigating him for Money Laundering and corruption because his lifestyle is not compatible with his income as a Labor Union Leader well see that hes not alone lever Union Leaders are being investigated and detained in argentina most of them are accused of corruption and many in argentina are shocked by the amount of money seized by the police in different operations for the. Argentine society is demanding that the leadership be less corrupt and the Justice System is reacting we asked people in a poll which were defines labor unions and most of the corruption since the government of president one played on and hes charismatic wife. Labor unions in argentina have had a crucial role in defending workers rights. Precedent mauricio magli says argentina needs to change and hes planning to push for labor reform but union leader when to respond the latest arrests are a way of pressuring unions to support the governments plans. If there is corruption then it should be investigated a new leaders should emerge but there are many that are not corrupt i will continue pushing the government in the poll says it wants to impose that i believe would hurt many of the cheap mints workers of going into argentina as labor unions are among the strongest in latin america but corruption has tainted their image their capacity to tackle this problem will likely decide if they have what it takes to look after the people they represent.
