Jazeera. Is the thoughts of. Advocacy manager in yemen for the Norwegian Refugee Council she told us the fighting is forcing foreign aid operations to shut down. Our main concern was that the fighting paralyzed humanitarian operations aid organizations and theyre stopped where i that affected by the violence or they were hiding in their basements because they were scared for their safety so what else it did was that the fighting cut off i told infrastructure so there was a pool to tank which was damaged which cut off the supplies the Drinking Water for the civilians. So really what they are fighting has done its mean has meant is that it stopped the movement of humanitarian workers in i didnt but also the longer it went on for more it was also shutting down aid operation in other areas of the country we would like to continue to provide food fuel to shelter i was just an odd and recently and visited a camp and people are living in terrible terrible conditions and they need help so really our consent is if the fighting with it will shut down our operations not just in our dinner but the other areas of the south threaten the safety of os dolphin civilians and thats what we need to stop we need the situation to go back to normal so that we can provide the help that people need. Plenty more ahead for you on this the news hour well look at the stark comic choices facing voters in argentina as they cast ballots in a high stakes president ial primary also high risk rescue the lengths they going to to save people from severe flooding in china and sport the austrian moto g. P. Ends up being a 2 man race with a thrilling finish well see who won. Now the conservative candidate in guatemalas president ial election has claimed victory after early results. A commanding lead over the center left contender and former 1st lady sandra john holeman weve been speaking to him all evening as we look to these results what more can you tell us about this well is it a claiming he is actually claiming victory. Yes he was claiming victory he was already talking about what hes going to do in terms of organizing his Transition Team and we now have more than 90 percent of the votes counted and hes got an almost 20 point lead so it does seem difficult that he would win from this point on so let me just take the time to tell you a little bit about this man who got to mullers next president is a train surgeon he was head of the prison system in guatemala and during that time as head of the prison system he was accused and then acquitted of being responsible for the extra dudish you killing of prisoners whove taken over a jail for quite some time hes sort of. Go to rip taishan is a bit of a hard hand in terms of what he wants to do now in terms of security he wants bring back the Death Penalty he wants to also restrict prison rights for gang members whove been put in jail rich can jew who visits for example in terms of the economy he thinks the investments going to be the answer for guatemala this is a country where more than half of the population lives in poverty so hes promising promising to bring Foreign Investment hes promising to bring more tourism and he says that by doing that he can create an investment and the investment will stop guatemalans from having to go north having to migrate to the United States this country since the biggest number of people to the United States so thats his plan and it seems like hes inching closer to victory as john homan in mexico city just keeping an eye on the results coming out of guatemala actually joining us on skype now from Guatemala City. Whos the editor in chief of the news and analysis website no modern its nice to have you with us you will have heard what john was just saying there talking about the new president or the man who is claiming victory at least wanting to bring in investment believing that can change the country do you think hes realistic in that goal. Many thanks for the invitation come i dont think its realistic but the my lai not that attractive for investment that can. Over think. We dont have a great expectational some him if you see the results we have already 90 per cent of the vote that he will be the next president but it has been the low was certain that my Credit History only a. 3rd of 38 percent of the people participated in this election because the elections were were full of all mistakes. Illegalities and hes not a man. To be a good c. E. O. Of what the model. Even so it looks like he will win this election and his biggest. Issue i guess to deal with is migration isnt it i think john touched on it in his reports but Central American migration through to the United States this idea of guatemala being some sort of buffer zone how does he deal with this very pressing issue. To do or dont even my point 5 percent of the what the mother of the left during the last 6 months 250000 people at least when he was asked during the campaign about a 3rd say remember throw one through both what you want that my luck he said that he didnt lose doubt about that then when he was asked again today he said that he will really go and try to learn more about it but you know we. Continuation of the current government is very. Organized crime and corruption and therefore we do not expect the situation to change in the country they dont have a team with no more for their experience in the Public Office soul so the usual we even towards or as bad as it is in there have for years well be element that is very important that the u. N. Commission that we have for the last 10 years of work fighting corruption really will stop in one month. Joining us from Guatemala City thank you do appreciate your analysis just looking at some live pictures as well from Guatemala City of some happy vote has there who have probably cause they voted for. The who has claimed victory but as matthew was pointing out to us that need turnout of about 30 percent the lowest in the democratic history so there will be those who will contest his well maybe legitimacy you could say as president but he is claiming victory at this point and a big job ahead particularly to do with migration and the economy for. We are also looking at early results from argentinas president ial primary vote which show the opposition candidate Alberto Fernandez is on track to wind down your following this one from point a general bring us up to date. Who are voting here are liking what tomorrow is compulsory so very large turnout in these primaries and giving a much larger than expected victory but often and this was always possible that he would win but hes won by Something Like 15 Percentage Points over the encumber president. With Something Like 47 percent of the vote i think even his most loyal supporters didnt expect a victory quite that big so theyve been celebrating hes due to speak any moment maurice your mark he himself took the stage even before the official 1st official results were announced to talk about what he called a very bad election for his party obliging himself and his supporters to work even harder before the 1st round of president ial elections in october to try to convince the people that they were on the right track that his austerity measures his attempts to bring the economy under control were the right ones they dont seem to be listening to him they dont seem to agree with him so we have to wait and see later on monday exactly how the country reacts are the markets react to this but it does seem as though the finance has won a convincing victory in these primary elections his Biggest Issue is to deal with the economy dont you were talking to our guests about guatemala and migration being the big thing there its the economy in argentina. Very much so and. Came to office in 2015 he made some very similar prominent busy promises to what the well looks like the new president in guatemala there is making he talked about Foreign Investment he talked about bringing the economy under control hes got very little in the way of Foreign Investment poverty which he gained he promised to try to deal with is on the rise in argentina and perhaps the Biggest Issue here is inflation its one of the worst in the world its something around 50 percent annually its worse than it was under the previous government Cristina Fernandez the kitchen that was something he said he would control and he hasnt managed to do that and that in his 4th year in office seems to be hitting home very hard and that does seem to be the issue which is at the heart the hearts of many arjen signs and theyve made their views felt with these primary elections left over to an hour or 2 months to go until those elections its very little time really from what is your market to try to turn things around to convince people that he can change in the times and is likely still to be very hard fought battle in these weeks that remain interesting to watch the elections isnt it in latin america that is done. Now a true one of the worlds most endangered species the mountain gorillas of Central Africa they are making a slow but from john returned back from the brink of extinction since 2010 the population has increased by a quarter to just over a 1000 Stephanie Decker has our report now from the verona mountains in rwanda which is leading the conservation efforts. Were at the foot of the very good mountains and getting a briefing on how to behave around the mountain gorilla thats what everyone here has come to see and theyve paid 1500. 00 each to spend one hour with the great apes in their habitat you excited i am beyond excited this is International Treasure that is being protected in rwanda and im so lucky to be able to experience it i cant wait and the cost is they put the concept when you think about it i think i think thats fair it limits access certainly to people who can afford it but i think by talking about what the guerrillas are providing for the communities that makes a lot of sense. This hike is not for the faint of heart its beautiful but challenging terrain we trekked uphill for over an hour our guide augustan shows us how gorillas get their water. And keep the energy high. And then. Right in front of us a family babies mothers and the impressive great big family man the silverback. The young ones are curious we have to move back not to get too close. Others seem almost bored by our presence. Then a display of power. We walk around to get another view its incredible. To spout credit their bad acts just watching us watch these great apes facing extinction just a couple of decades ago and their super have used picked up on it chris. Before we know it the hour is up and its time to track back down so. Thanks so. Much. Rwandas tourism policy were told is one of low volume high value visitor numbers are restricted and the prices high translates to 25. 00 per minute for the hours spent with the gorillas tourist actually who come to see the girl as i understand why weve done that understand that its all about conservation for discussions and you can even see it in the in the in the last recent systems that we did our strategy supposed to be done right away to do this weve seen a 26 percent increase in the number of individuals who are in the us so its working both on the conservation side and on the tourism side its a fragile Success Story critically endangered for years and now their status has been adjusted to endangered the latest census shows or just over a 1000 gorillas spanning rwanda uganda and the democratic republic of congo from just around 200. 00 a few decades ago but that still doesnt seem a large number when you think that its the whole worlds entire population of these incredible animals.
