Libre shall carry this is the news hour life and coming up in the next sixty minutes concerns continue for lebanons Prime Minister a saudi arabia and kuwait tell their citizens to leave the country immediately. Leaked emails from the u. S. Ambassador to the u. S. Allegedly show a plan to destabilize qatars economy. Take you inside all strolling is off shore prison camp abandoned by authorities the squalor has aid groups worried about the hundreds of stranded refugees. A food revolution Scientists Say theyre close to a breakthrough allowing crops to grow and doesnt. Kuwait has joined saudi arabia bahrain and the urging its citizens to leave lebanon it comes amid heightened tensions with the Lebanese Group has a lot. Its packer oran and there are questions over the whereabouts of the former Prime Minister saad hariri her obvious Political Party is demanding that he return to beirut five days after he announced in riyadh that he was stepping down there was office says that he is still in the saudi capital and a nice reports that hes being held there against his will in now that you should look many the return of Prime Minister saad hariri head of the future movement is necessary in order to restore the internal and external balance of lebanon with full respect to liberties the just a missy in accordance to the constitution and to the thai if accord and with respect to the arab and International Legitimacy we confirm our support for Prime Minister saad hariri and for all the decisions he makes under any circumstances and as a no to report from beirut politicians there are worried about hillarys well being. The Political Party of saddle how do you say that it is necessary that the the Prime Minister immediately returns to lebanon saying that this is of course necessary to restore stability in the country the Political Party in that statement stopping short of actually saying that they believe the Prime Minister is detained that he is being held against his will in fact we called how do these office to ask them whether or not they believed this was the case and the response we got was we have no information so the Political Party saying he must return immediately now is throughout the day we have what we understand that even the president of the speaker of parliament they are concerned they are worried about the well being of saddam had e. D. And theyve been in contact with foreign dignitaries to try to help them understand you know the fate of the he made a sudden announcement that he was resigning on saturday from riyadh and ever since hes made no other statement weve seen him yes in Abu Dhabi Holding talks with the rulers there and the day before we saw him sitting with with the saudi king but we havent heard from the Prime Minister himself so a lot of concern about the fate of saddam how did he at the same time saudi arabia calling on its citizens to immediately leave lebanon on statements like this undoubtedly is just going to cause even more tension saudi arabia making it very clear that it intends to step up action against lebanon or against those who who support hezbollah in lebanon the saudi state minister for gulf affairs actually tweeting and saying that expect eskil atory measures but theyre not saying what measures theyre going to take against lebanon it has to be made clear that the saudi the resignation of saddam how did it was a saudi move against hezbollah and saudi officials have made it very clear to lebanese officials either you curb hezbollahs influence and you are on our side or you will be considered an enemy so very Uncertain Times in lebanon. French president says hes been in contact with the regional discussed this case with the Saudi Crown Prince during a visit to riyadh on thursday a crown is denying hariri has formally requested to go to france earlier theories office said he met the french ambassador to saudi arabia in riyadh having a lebanese journalist and a freedman visiting fellow at the Washington Institute she believes in Armed Conflict this unlikely despite the escalation in tension as well as no longer eleven knees party its a regional militia that works under it on force and any war against hezbollah is a war in the region is a war against horse is a war against the two hundred thousand. Person fighting under iran in the region and this is why everyone would have to consider this in it in terms of theirs and to be any war with hezbollah because you would be up in ing this war to a regional war so im not sure anyone can do this alone who is going to do this i dont think any country alone can go for war against hezbollah that is iran in the region unless everyone is on board including the United States and so far i dont feel that the United States is on board for a military action against hezbollah and syria or the region as a whole so this is why i dont think this is this is an option i see it more as a war if they cannot make war against against lebanon this is more plausible at this point with sanctions coming from the u. S. With more sanctions coming from saudi arabia and the gulf with maybe a more economic blockade on lebanon this is this is something that looks more plausible there are a lot of signs that related more to an economic war a diplomatic war but in military action and the region at this point its much too complicated. The global leaks website and house released what appears to be a plan by the United Arab Emirates to destabilize kottaras economy and jeopardize its hosting of the two thousand and twenty two football world cup the plan was founded hacked emails of longing to the iranian bastard to the us. Alan fischer reports from washington d. C. You use colorful and controversial ambassador to the u. S. Use of allah tiber has been at the center of leak controversies in the past in recent months it was claimed the u. A. E. Paid influential think tanks to back their worldview in washington according to a series of leaked emails now its alleged an elaborate overly ambitious plan to wage financial and economic war in qatar through bond and debt manipulation has reportedly been found on his computer according to the website the intercept they would then take these these bonds according to the plan and swap them back and forth among parties who from the outside look like theyre independent but are actually the same people as like me and youre trading a bond back and forth and that creates an illusion of volatility and with people aware that there is this political crisis going on then they plan as they see this enhanced volatility and traders start to panic and say oh my god something must be going on here we need to sell our own our own can tare debt which drives the price down further the outline for the plan was allegedly drawn up by the private Bank Havilland although its based in luxembourg its owned by a british banking family with close ties to the u. A. E. The ultimate goal create a crisis which would force the qataris to step in to support their currency draining the countrys cash reserves through these leaks the narrative in washington has changed from what was considered primarily to be. A response of Qatari Foreign policy to now a manufactured crisis by the other party to the conflict the u. A. E. And saudi arabia lead a group of mainly gulf nations which have imposed a partial blockade and cut off diplomatic relations to Qatar International efforts to broker a settlement have come to nothing the scheme to interfere with the debt and bond market was always unlikely to succeed there are just too many variables but now its been made public the Financial Markets will be watching more closely for any attempted manipulation alan fischer washington.

But in my head in the news hour including was a Syrian Refugees protesting brace for the heartbreaking wait to be your big night at their families plus. Im going to be reporting from vietnam where will be does our arriving in the city of done nothing to talk trade and the contrast in policies of china its globalization and United States protectionism. Was the sport defiant hong kong football fans booed chinas National Anthem we have the details just a bit about. The conditions facing about six hundred refugees at an Australian Offshore prison camp are worsening by the day aid workers are worried the facility on a guinea is becoming so filthy many refugees are likely to become sick or even die but as peter sharp reports as dire as it is the government has so far offered no help. These pictures of conditions inside the prison camp on pup a new guinea are the first to show how conditions have deteriorated since authorities officially shut it down the video sent by refugee gives an indication of what life is like for the refugees now that the power and the water have been cut off course to turn it back on for most far away is the United Nations have been ignored this is home for nearly six hundred men who came from war ravaged countries across asia and the middle east refugees from mama afghanistan and iraq Asylum Seekers from iran in sri lanka the shed dream was to reach australia but this is where theyve ended up. Confined to a squalid abandoned naval base rainwater collected in rubbish bins because of their tennis and you know. They felt the place thats the default of many problems that it got very you know because i. Was flown to Papua New Guinea on a stray an air force transports cambra has steadfastly refused to accept anyone who tried to reach the country by boat for four years australia has paid Papua New Guinea to house the Asylum Seekers but the Detention Center was ordered shut up in new Guinea Supreme Court ruled that it was unconstitutional to host such a camp but the man fearful of threats from local residents say they would prefer this existence and shelter in towns where they dont feel safe and aid workers have little faith in the military and police ability to protect them my fear. In this is something that if you. To look at. Our government. Force and the o. P. s force i know. We. Know this is a big problem aid workers believe the Security Forces plan to move the refugees out of the camp in the next few days by force if necessary be to show up aljazeera. Me as a human rights expert with the australian Nongovernmental Organisation get up its the activist group that released the footage from inside that close camp that thank you very much for joining us so how did you all get access how did it get get inside. Well the reality is that the locals on mount a solid are extremely angry about the situation inside the Detention Center and those locals worked with us to under the cover of darkness move past the night and the constant patrols of the camp to time the footage away or saying this video what did you find most shocking wind and surprising when when you got there. I mean ive worked in many countries across the world in conflict zones and in developing countries and ive also written a number of reports on the situation on menace island and but as youre aware our government has prevented journalists from entering the camp has criminalized whistleblowers and i think for good reason because even for somebody who are noise the situation intimately. I was utterly shocked at what i saw you know it was an air of devastation and decay. It was oppressively hot we couldnt film and saw the shipping containers used by the men as bedrooms because the camera lens would fall got up from the hate and humidity there was no water in the camp people were drinking Running Water from top gathered from the roof and they were storing that water in rubbish bins the sewage system is blocked has a similar flushing capacity anymore and it stunk and the camp was in blackout and we would shawn brought mots when the navy wasnt looking to try and film some footage in the can and when we show on to slate the main paper was sort of a thought jake and exhausted that they didnt even move or flinch will turn to look at the lots. Pression which have been exploring humanitarian emergency in the camp and the locking hold that people would dial be seriously injured in coming days so what are what are the realistic options about what can be done right now. I think there is the only realistic option to preserve life which i would argue is the humanitarian imperative when you have an emergency of the sky and that is to evacuate the men from man a silent and put them a nice safe country in coming days what the polish to play a realistic option depends on the will of the strong in parliament to acknowledge that the humanitarian emergency meetings they need to put politics aside can say that resettlement in a safe third country might take them on an act to preserve the lives of these men is there a political price to pay for politicians who dont step up in this moment to do something or not i think the reality of the situation is that the you so shocking that North Country should be able to withstand the kind of International Condemnation that we heard the footage. It entices across the world we want to see globally governments putting incredible pressure on the strain government is trying Prime Minister is to die attending the i pick some much and we would like to see Global Leaders call on the strong and government to resolve the situation immediately frankly the government says that this is pay and jays responsibility is the arnell a government with the capacity to act immediately and it can already four hundred people from. Strength Community Possible it just requires political will. And. Nora yana salmi thank you very much. Well you know. U. S. President donald trump is on his way to vietnam for meetings set to be dominated by trade in the Asia Pacific Region more than half of apec members are trying to sign a deal that trump has withdrawn the u. S. From china is also pushing to form a competing trade bloc in the region a contrast to trumps pursuit of bilateral deals and as wayne hay reports from da nang vietnam its being held up as an example of the benefits of free trade. More than fifty years ago United States marines came ashore in dun neighing and waded into the vietnam war it was a disastrous failed campaign in the name of defeating communism today the red flag still flies in vietnam but the government embraces capitalism. Among the reforms that have taken place is the privatization of many bloated state owned companies this shrimp processing factory was sold to private owners in one thousand nine hundred seventy and now employs three thousand people and since its products around the world we learning a lot of the country are. Other countries they got. A week and part bad and we can. So that we can. Push our industry with one of the worlds Fastest Growing economies vietnam is being held up as an example of what open trade can do. But as host of the Asia Pacific Economic cooperation summit is at the center of a new struggle between the United States and china which are both vying for influence in asia the respective president s coming to apec have contrasting views on the best way for countries to do business with one another. She jinping is a globalist and is backing the proposed trade deal known as the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership involving sixteen countries donald trump is seen as a protectionist and prefers bilateral deals instead of multilateral ones like the Transpacific Partnership that he withdrew from the remaining eleven countries including vietnam are forging ahead when the d. P. P. Was signed last year vietnam was touted as one of the big winners from the deal because of its strong export led economy even though the United States has pulled out the vietnamese government still wanted to go ahead and is pushing for a new agreement to be reached this week some experts believe the summit will provide an opportunity for a pic members to try to convince donald trump. To think differently about trade. Things around the world. But you cannot be brought back to us but you can go into this socalled. Digital economy vietnam has been transformed since the war ended in one thousand nine hundred eighty five the u. S. Trade embargo was withdrawn free market fire has been lit theres no sign of it being extinguished we have some pictures to show you now. Russian president Vladimir Putin arriving in vietnam for a pack as we said a number of World Leaders are going to be there also in denying is our way in hey who is reporting on whats going on so what can we expect the next few days. Yes well as you say the russian president Vladimir Putin among the latest to arrive in da nang of course the epic summit itself has been going on all week but the leaders generally you most of them anyway arriving for the last two days are expecting the u. S. President donald trump to arrive in dining in the next couple of hours where with me more to talk about what we can expect over the coming days as an advisor to the government of vietnam on Economic Issues and trade issues. Thank you very much for joining us what do you expect will be the big takeaway from this summit over the next two days but the basic principle for these meeting hes actually inclusiveness the world up when financially but when the good number but and social Development Inclusion for everybody and nobody will need to live behind and to do it up new dynamism for a Better Future for all that is the main takeaway is that youve been a vocal critic of Donald Trumps approach to trade his apparent preference for bilateral deals protectionism as opposed to multilateral deals do you think theres any scope over the next two days for other a pic member nations to try to convince them otherwise and i think that theyve read that great. Interest of all entreaties that doorway street so brazen drums of rhetoric youre more in line with the dont make the. Purpose then really for the world you want them to i think that the leader will recognise that there is a common broad race for all and all fall for one and one for all to develop well base but Better Future so how do the other member nations like vietnam who is pushing for the Transpacific Partnership pushing for multilateral trade deals in inclusiveness how do they approach will balance that when theyre also trying to deal with donald trump who thinks otherwise. Has many many of the Free Trade Agreement not only p. P. P. Vietnam has a bilateral trade agreement with the us so we work at the same time on the bilateral side we saw under one the right. To make the base out broke everything for everybody saw done from may have his view to be more american first but i think that its ok for him to be defend american interests but that will in face most be taken into consideration for the welfare of the u. S. As well and lastly a lot of focus rightly or wrongly over the next two days on the Transpacific Partnership which again vietnam is the driving force behind if they cant come to some sort of agreement minus the United States over the next two days do you think d. P. P. May be in trouble. I dont think he would be sure. So whatever is will be well if not we still continue to Work Together at the common for the eleven nation left so. Its not a deal breaker for anything so it has to progress and hope to find that Common Ground for all of this happens all right thank you very much for your thoughts that as. An advisor to vietnams government so as we mentioned a lot of interest in the arrival of the United States president and exactly what will unfold in his meetings over the next couple of days hes due to arrive in the next few hours as is his chinese counterpart xi jinping both of them separately will address a summit of chief executives here in dunning on friday as well and there is some talk still that there will be a sideline meeting between donald trump and the russian president Vladimir Putin although there is no official confirmation of that right now an ally for us and wayne thank you among those attending the apec summit as me and maurice later on sohn sochi whos there amid a storm of controversy here and rights watch is urging World Leaders to look into me and marse treatment of its her henchmen minority families had actually a formal member a pact but sochi was invited by the president more than eight hundred thousand right hand to have fled a military crackdown and Rakhine State the military denies accusations of human rights abuses insisting operations are targeting armed groups.

Refugees have been protesting in greece or the time its taking to reunite them with their families fifteen thousand refugees there want to reconnect with family members many of whom are in germany they were separated on their journey to europe over the past few years. Reports from athens. Yet. They. Keep these refugees protesting outside the German Embassy in athens are the lucky ones many have been approved to rejoin their loved ones in germany but today they cant even get as far as the and the fourteen are on Hunger Strike among them for the syrian with an eleven year old daughter in germany she was separated from her parents and three siblings when both kerry and Police Caught them crossing from turkey more than two years ago she got through the net and is now in a camp in germany. I asked about family reunification at the German Embassy and they rejected me after i spent seven thousand euro to make passports and other papers they said i couldnt do it because my daughter had ninety valid for only one year instead of three the three mama children who are here being allowed to go to school because greek authorities believe the family is relocating and their daughter in germany isnt allowed to return to them because shes too young to travel alone the family say they feel caught in a european bureaucratic nightmare. Sending refugees to be reunified with family members in europe as a rate of about three hundred a month but there is a backlog of about four thousand approved cases many of whom have been waiting for more than six months if anything the process is likely to become slow because the German Government has now decided to cap in bound immigration thats about two hundred thousand people a year the mom is a living in scott among gas camp a disused shipyard they say its damp and rife with rats theres little security and residents report that drugs are sold here.

S. Has joined the un in more than twenty other aid groups and appealing to saudi arabia to end its. We have warned that over twenty Million People need urgent help as food food and fuel prices skyrocket they say mass starvation is potentially weeks away and a hot star has more. Its difficult to understand that this is what humans can do to each other. Millions of people face famine and are in desperate need of urgent humanitarian assistance. Now the u. S. Has backed aid agencies in calling for more to be done to alleviate the situation weve seen tremendous few Food Shortages in yemen weve talked about how this is really a manmade situation there the announcement that the ports were being closed down or limited in terms of some of the supplies is an area thats of concern to us because the yemeni people are not the ones at fault for their situation we would like to see food aid medical equipment and all of that be able to brought be brought in to the ports saudi arabia has stepped up a land and sea blockade on yemen to Ballistic Missile was hard towards the capital riyadh on saturday. Before the blockade more than twenty Million People without safe a two thirds of the population needed humanitarian assistance now many hoffner like completely on food aid to survive. The country is experiencing a corner which is expected to affect one Million People by the end of the year aid agencies say theyre struggling to work inside the country it takes from one town to another we have to almost go through one hundred checkpoints this is a man made disaster and there is no humanitarian solution to this were asking for parties to come together to find a solution desperate which is desperately needed food people of yemen its becoming increasingly difficult for people to get their hands on vital commodities with prices of petrol and cooking oil rising by as much as fifty percent in a week. So far as closing down the ports and borders these are war crimes in the first degree. The longer you. Sit empty the longer the suffering will continue. As president on a first year in office has been a tumultuous one to say the least and now new figures for evidence of just how volatile its been inside the government sixty percent of the state departments top management they have quit sense trump was elected and applications to work there have dropped by fifty percent the American Foreign Service Association says the department is in a state of collapse at a time when International Issues like north korea are center stage so ruben is president of the Washington Strategy group he worked at the state department for the past three administrations he joins us via skype from chevy chase in maryland and we appreciate your time so actually the perfect person to talk to you considering youve worked across various administrations what is a normal turnover like from one president to the next in the state department how does this normally go. Well first and foremost this is not a normal whats happening now normal turnover through the Foreign Service there is a tradition from retirement its normally scheduled and Foreign Service officers at the end of their career typically stay on as long as they possibly can or until theyre asked to leave but what weve seen in this administration is a significant number of top level senior Foreign Service officers of ambassador rank resign and resign quickly and mass and thats very demoralizing to those who work at the state department it makes them very concerned about whether or not they have the support of the trumpet ministration for doing their work so let me ask you Something Else then these are these i think people always think if you go from one administration to the next you know you leave that there is always something political about it but a lot of these positions were talking about are are separate and apart from politics is that right thats right what the state department does and what many federal agencies do but what the state department does its unique is that it hires on a group of diplomats known as the Foreign Service and they will spend their career thirty forty years in the service of the country and they will work for whichever administration comes in the spanning republican spending democratic and they tend to be well regarded by both Political Parties as individuals who provide expert advice and management and leadership and essentially keep the state department running what weve seen is a collapse of their interest in serving in this administration and thats deeply troubling so what what do you think is is emanating from the administration to be causing this what what what do you think is driving. At the states apartment really the value added for the diplomats is that they believe that they can have impact on Foreign Policy and when the secretary of state has an influence in the white house thats very powerful and empowering for them its clear that the secretary of state does not have that kind of connection with the white house that he is not in sync with President Trump and then in addition to that they want to know that when they speak to the secretary hes listening and weve seen a real separation between secretary tillerson and the career Foreign Service sort of walling off a budget request for example that he made that would cut the departments budget by nearly one third and that has even been rejected by republicans in congress but it sends a signal to the career Foreign Service that theyre really on the outs with this leadership. Appreciate your insight there im much on this tell thank you very much and staying with us and a senate races underway in alabama that could make a statement about the truck the ministrations popularity it comes right after major wins for the democrats in elections earlier this week poll show republican roy moore is ahead by a narrow margin margin that is but damning allegations against him are now threatening his candidacy can really help the ports. Its a race with National Implications the special election for the senate seat in alabama is a test of Donald Trumps populism i believe and so.

E. O. Jeff bezos a top democratic donor has found three more women who also report war approached them like or if men when they were teenagers more is a controversial candidate do you think something has to be done about that. Backed by anti establishment conservatives in the us like right part chief steve bannon intent on collapsing and rebuilding the Republican Party so not surprisingly longtime Conservatives Like Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell reacted strongly suggesting more should withdraw from the contest if the allegations are true. But as moores opponents are well aware truth and potential criminality may not be proven until long after this critical december vote in the political damage to moores candidacy is already done kimberly helped get out zero washington.
