At least 5 people were killed as arik and dorian moves through the caribbean. We are in. This dark tragedy. Helo britain the United States and france may be complicit in war crimes in yemen thats according to a new United Nations report iran is also implicated the u. N. Says the Saudi Led Coalition is use of starvation as a tactic may also amount to a war crime investigators say the crimes should not go unpunished and theyve given a list of suspects to the u. N. Rights chief. Busy the evidence. Is becoming even. And every. Time our time. We want to emphasize that the suffering. Represents a collective of the conflicts and. Consequently the parties to the conflict. A collective responsibility to resolve the conflict. Or no hobbled i have joins me now on set she is a fellow at the Brookings Doha Center and a specialist in Transitional Justice in the arab region thanks very much for being with us so obviously things are very early stage right now but how significant is this do you think well the fact that the u. N. Has called out the u. S. And britain and france in particular for being complicit in work. Its kind of a big deal i mean there have been references to their role especially through armstrong arms sales to the Saudi Led Coalition and the fact that those arms have been used in crimes committed in yemen so this this this call or this statement calling out those powers for their role in the wall is significant i think that it will probably be very difficult for those powers to not respond to those statements and it will most certainly generates more pressure on those governments to end their involvement in this war as you say we were talking about some some powerful nations here but what are the chances that individuals from many of these countries will ultimately see the inside of a courtroom right i mean this is where it gets very difficult i mean i think that its very important to remember that justice happens very very slowly and so while such statements coming out of the u. N. And the multiple reports calling for accountability will probably you know not lead to an immediate prosecution the material and the information thats in these reports is absolutely crucial to build cases for the future and in terms of the conflict in in yemen right now do you see any sign of a letup of. A turning point in where it is going well weve certainly seen quite an escalation over the last few weeks with the with the events and aid in the south and the marty strikes against had these Government Forces in aden. I think that those developments in aden are a very big wake up call that the conflict in yemen is not reduced to or confined to fighting between the hoa fees and the saudi backed hedi governments i mean the southern question has always been an issue but it hasnt been given as much attention and so i i would hope that in future whatever future talks or negotiations take place that the scope or the lands on on sun are and on the hoofy had the fights expands to consider these other equally important issues in yemen why why is it that there hasnt been enough International Focus on what is happening in yemen given that this is a war thats going on for more than 4 years now and its taken a devastating humana toll humanitarian toll on the country the worst humanitarian disaster in the world is what the u. N. Is calling it why people may pay more attention to part of it is this rhetoric thats you know if the Saudi Led Coalition doesnt intervene in yemen and to try and restore the socalled legitimacy of the heavy government then iran is going to you know expand its influence in the region and that will be a threat to Global Security so theres that rhetoric but theres also the role of these powers the u. S. And the u. K. In particular theyve been vent benefiting financially in a very significant way over the past 4 and a half or so years of this war and so without any major sort of or strong statements or or withdrawal of this supports and an end to these arms sales from the u. S. And the u. K. In particular we wont see Much Movement unfortunately good speakers you know thanks very much thank you. Now the u. K. s brags that battle is coming to a head with a showdown in parliament the could seriously undermine Prime MinisterBoris Johnsons authority opposition parties want an emergency debate to take place to try and stop or no deal exit from the European Union some conservative m. P. s say they will support this but they face threats from their own party if they cross the line if the legislation passes the Prime Minister has said he may seek Parliament Approval for a snap election on october the 14th Boris Johnson says the United States will that the United Kingdom rather will leave the e. U. With or with or without a deal by october 31st. To show our friends in brussels that we are united in our purpose m. P. s should boot with the government against cool beans please delay. I would everybody to know there are no circumstances in which i ask brussels to do that were leaving on the 31st of october no ifs or buts a former attorney general Dominic Grieve is one of the leading conservative critics on braggs if he believes those opposed to no deal have the numbers to defeat the government i hope never served because there are lots of pressures on colleagues some of them have been are being threatened with the selection with having the whip withdrawn and this is all very draconian and then it will be those who are weighing up Party Loyalty against the National Interest this is this is painful and hard but i think we have the numbers. Now lets go live now to norris lee whos on abin in green just outside parliament so this is a critical day this for both sides of the brazier debate here and those opposing this and facing down the Prime Minister say they have the numbers to do this but its really anybodys guess at this point as to where things will go. Yes they they are certainly pretty confident that they have the numbers a bit of it depends on how many labor m. P. s who supports 7 brecks it choose to vote with the government in the same way as concerns in peace who dont like focusing against their own governments lets take a view from one of the leading pro brics a conservative voice nigel evans and we thank you very much fielding time do you think youre going to lose the vote soon or well soon find out of course that we know that the conservative remain rebels a few months ago did exactly this they cooperated with the opposition and they wrestle control of the order paper so i think the assumption must be that theyll do rather similar today which means a bill will then be introduced to Parliament Tomorrow which does one simple thing it says to Boris Johnson if you cant get a deal with the European Union you have to seek an extension to at least the end of january 2020. And that is something that he told me along with about 200 other conservative m. P. s in the garden of his official residence 10 downing street last night that he is not going to do at which point Boris Johnson says i need sue call the general election or not so but the 14th. That writes us the speculation i mean he did say also yes that he didnt want to know early election he did say he didnt want one but the reality to me is that if the british belief in that you know you know he would do that i believe that he doesnt want one but i believe he may have no other option and you believe that he would hold. Selection on the 14th of october and not after the break to take the 31st you know absolutely because he wants to be able to go to the European Council on october the 17th and 18th to carry on with the negotiations for it and that can only happen if the date is earlier and the other indicator that its going to be the 14th is that we normally never have an election on a day other than the thursday the 14th is a human day but it also does need the support of the labor party for you to have an early election because youve got a fixed Term Parliament act it needs 2 thirds of parliament to vote for that now i know if boris says he wants an election well certainly vote for it but youd be rather absurd if the Opposition PartyJeremy Corbyn leading it for the last 2 years has been calling for an early election if he then turns around and says to his m. P. s dont vote for. John thank you very much indeed for your thoughts and it is true a lot of people are now saying this is all going to come down to whether jeremy colemans labor party having demanded election for so long are prepared to have it in the middle of october or to arrive from london Lawrence Leigh life 1st area in london now the Iranian Oil Tanker seized off to brawl to before being released is reported to have turned off its tracking beacon the hadrian daddy one formerly known as the grace one switched off its tracker on monday ship tracking website and previously shown the vessel off the coast of lebanon heading north u.

Hong kongs leader has dismissed a leaked audio recording of her saying shed resign if shed had a choice kerry lamb says she never planned to quit her comments were recorded during a private lunch last weekend come after 3 months of antigovernment protests when hey reports. He seems to be no end in sight to the protests in hong kong and no sign that the government is willing to bow to any of the protesters demands but in a conversation with Business Leaders that was leaked to the media the citys chief executive indicated she wanted to walk away for a chance. To. Show. The. This just in the Life Insurance 1st thing is to eat. Is 2. Hours later in her weekly Media Conference kerry said it was unacceptable that the private conversation had been recorded and she sought to clarify her comments about resigning i have never i have never attended a resignation to the central peoples government. I have not even contemplated to discuss a resignation with the central people and. The choice of not resigning is my own choice. The resignation of the chief executive was one of the key demands of the protesters when they began taking to the streets their rallies started when the government tried to introduce an extradition bill which would have allowed criminal suspects to be sent to Mainland China for trial kerry lamb says the bill is did the protesters want her to officially withdraw it the leaked comments from kerry lamb come just days after another media report suggested that the Central Government in china had rejected a proposal by her to withdraw the extradition bill the report claimed that beijing ordered her not to agree to any of the protesters demands she also said in the lead gaudio that the government in beijing has no plans to put soldiers on the streets of hong kong to try to win the crisis and that her power is particularly limited at the moment because of the trade war between china and the United States lets see how long how the chief executive who of course. Was just 2 hearts is hostage to. The 7. Hour that. Is. There are already allegations that kerry lamb leaked the audio herself to try to ease the pressure on her which she says is not true the controversy is likely to have little impact on the situation with both sides no closer to finding a resolution wayne hey al jazeera hong kong. Or protesters have been keeping up the pressure on hong kongs government with many taking part in a 2nd day of strikes broke out though between police and some demonstrators late on monday after a day of peaceful rallies across the country thousands of university and secondary School Students joined the strike skipping their 1st day of class lets cross live now to hong kong where sarah clarke is standing by for sarah whats happening there right now. Well as you mentioned its the 2nd day of a general strike here in hong kong its tuesday last night on monday night we saw around 40000 people according to organizers rally in front of time our heart which is right next to all right in front of the list of Council Building and the chief government headquarters tonight that rally is actually still to over to where we are now behind me on my left is the chinese Army Barracks and behind me on my right is the government offices now at the moment the protest is a certainty that it tormenting or i should say holding out lazars against the the chinese Army Barracks tormenting various place the right place emerged before but theyve gone back in so certainly we may see more violent clashes tonight if they continue this behavior theres been one warning already but well see if they take the next step as for any other updates the police would give us not that theres been 1100 or more than 1100 arrests so far in the Police Press Conference this afternoon they said that there was have been more than 100 petrol bombs trying by protesters over the weekend now weve also seen these protesters get angry about the i age groups of those people who have been arrested is the youngest one is as young as 12 years of age certainly its a 13 week thing to wake of violent clashes and protests here in hong kong and there seems to be no end in sight. All right thanks for that sarah clarke a lawyer for hong kong. Amalie law is a former member busy of the Hong Kong Legislative Council she says kerry lam should have insisted to beijing detain gauge with the protesters to her its very embarrassing i dont know why the journalistic did not ask her point blank why she said at the press conference that she never attended any resignation which may be true but why did she say on the tape that if she had a choice she would resign if she really is on our side on the side of hong kong she could have insisted saying well in order to solve the problem the crisis which she said she would want to do those were the options and if waging said no she should have put her foot down and say now these are the ways instead of sending the police out to fight with the protesters every day and with such brutal force we should try to engage them so she should do it but obviously i dont think she wants to put her foot down and so i certainly saying her days are numbered.

Hurrican dorian remains almost at a standstill after battering the northern bahamas at least 5 people died and thousands of homes were destroyed after made landfall as a category 5 storm dorian has now we can to a category 3 but its still considered life threatening and is expected to make its way to the southeast coast of the u. S. And the gallagher reports from florida. Complete devastation that is cars mind Hurricane Dorian hit the northwestern part of the bahamas as one of the most powerful storms ever recorded in the Atlantic Wind gusts reach 350 Kilometers Per Hour roos ripped off and storm surges flooded streets and homes but this is the direct canal thats right behind us and you can see the waves are just raging as if we were at sea before the storm hit many residents decided to ignore warnings according to the red cross more than 13000 homes have since been destroyed communications are down on some of the islands even as dorian lingers as a still deadly storm. In the midst of a historic tragedy. In balance of our northern bahamas. On mission and focus now. Is search and rescue and recovery. Ions for the press for those in effect today areas and for our 1st responders its expected dorian will remain over the bahamas until at least Tuesday Morning before heading towards the u. S. Is east coast. In florida mandatory evacuation orders are in place as much of the state remains under threat forecasters say the eye of dorian should run power well to the florida coast but authorities here are taking no chances but we are in a situation where the storm is stalling very close to our coast it is going to make a movement and the movement that it makes is going to have a lot of impact on floridians and so please listen to the instructions he the instructions do what you need to do to keep you in. Your family safe other states too are preparing for the worst as dorians path is projected to bring it close to georgia and the carolinas from its formation dorian has been unpredictable it may have slowed slightly but the threat of land for storm surges and strong winds remains this storm is still moving its massive. Changes with us will. Continue to move in reverse and were not thinking dorian is still a powerful storm and the u. S. Is east coast is bracing itself for a days long event that predicted north and is the best Case Scenario for the entire eastern seaboard authorities here in florida are warning residents to watch forecasts closely even the slightest deviation could be deadly the main focus for now is on the bahamas and a rescue efforts are being hampered by conditions on the ground but it seems that widespread destruction and loss of life is likely if dorian sticks to its predicted path millions may be spared but no one here is taking any chances and gallacher aljazeera puts an lucie florida lets go to jay gray who is live from savannah in the u. S. State of georgia now so jay although Hurrican Dorian has weakened for now it still remains a potent threat how are people there preparing for it. Well and has them because its slowed a bit theyve got time to prepare though thats going to quickly run out here there are evacuations in place not only here in savannah but really from florida through the carolinas more than a 1000000 people asked to move to Higher Ground until this storm passes and thats one of the concerns that those who have evacuated watch this and it doesnt move and things linger and they say maybe ive got to get back maybe this things not coming at all forecasters as well as 1st responders warning thats not the case and that people need to be patient and wait this thing out youve got others boarding up placing sandbags in areas to block the water they expect to come here the port is closed or youre in savannah most of the businesses as well its just a big waiting game has a that millions are playing right now very tense but this is very much that the Hurricane Season in that region of the well damn presumably people people there are prepared for this kind of thing is because its it as happened in the past. Or you would think so hurricane veterans really in this part of the country of people who have been through their share of hurricanes who know what to do know how to prepare and talking to Law Enforcement hearing from them here it sounds like people have used those lessons to their advantage that they have prepared that they are taking this storm seriously and that those who are in the evacuation zones have moved out all right jay gray live for us there in Savannah Georgia thank you. Dennis mcclain is the spokesperson for the United Nations office for disaster Risk Reduction he said hurrican doyenne is tied to a broader trend that should not be ignored. This is the 4th Consecutive Year to do we have witnessed an extremely devastating atlantic Hurricane Season including category 5 hurricanes like dorian the sequence cannot be divorced from the fact that these last 5 years have been the hottest ever recorded because of the continuing rise in Greenhouse Gases in the atmosphere Hurricane Dorian crystallizes the existential threat posed to small island developing states by the ongoing Climate Emergency this is an enormous humanitarian and Development Challenge challenge for the bahamas.
