And we have it right. Here. Every. Time. Thank you. My good my happy eleven years very. Good day from zero to day why do you feel you. Are tossers our correspondent following events force in zimbabwe is in the capital i mean how has it been difficult to gauge the mood but whats most amazing is that the mood is unified by both those who would have supported mugabe and opposition supporters to. Exactly and that is what a lot of people are saying is quite great about this particular gathering that that people on the street because you think people who for years were enemy and now theyre coming together black and white different Political Parties people who disagree with each other over political issues things not about those issues at the moment put them aside about removing one man president Robert Mugabe the reason why is that he quite a nice because a few minutes ago the army came out to the big group that was before here before and they told them disperse go home i will tell you in some people in the now if you want to go home tonight leaving they now going to another thing in the ground where they have the celebration maybe but anticipating the announcement that prism of a will resign is no confirmation whether that will happen there is no idea when it will happen if it does happen but a lot of people are saying that there is a different feeling in the country that change is really coming talk about this timeline of what could happen with president mugabe he could leave in the short term he could drag this out into december when theres a particular meeting and even later on into twenty eighteen nobody really knows when hell go. In that lead but it is clear that pressure is mounting if he doesnt whatever reason to resign. They were not resigned today we know that the next couple of days members of their meetings on a plane the party will be meeting and it will be the thing. Called him that is maybe taking to parliament but there is a lot of pressure the concern for the body if you. Get down to what the army going to do right now it is people it is quiet really jovial mood but the rate there is a fear from people that it creates a macabre refuses to go what action could the army take to make them go well we will leave it there come back to you with that situation develops thank you. For us we should at least know what saudi arabia is recalled its ambassador in berlin in protest of the comments made by the German Foreign minister zuma gabriel suggested that saad hariri had been held against his will in riyadh he also called for all of his neighbors including saudi arabia to let it decide its own fate saudi state media says the statements were unfortunate and justified hariri himself tweeted that the comments were lying. Saudi arabias to the throne has been making some political bold moves in the kingdom with a series of decisions many consider to be unprecedented now a recent report says saudi arabia is demanding cash for the release of dozens of high profile citizens it arrested earlier this month on charges of corruption that includes the countrys richest man prince are the lead bin but also reports many of those detained have been tortured including the son of the late King Abdullah prince but their saudis large royal family traditionally share power however these latest moves are being seen as a power grab by the new crown Prince Mohammed bin sole man does the thirty two year olds influence grow as he faces challenges in the neighboring yemen where the u. N. Has warned that unless saudi arabia holds its blockade millions of people could die of hunger. Saudi arabia and the u. A. E. As well as bahrain and egypt cut ties with cattle and oppose the land sea and air blockade setting off an unprecedented crisis in the gulf region now these developments in saudi arabia and what they may mean for the rest of the world are the focus of a conference in london where former diplomats and middle east analysts a meeting the former leader of the u. K. Liberal democrats Paddy Ashdown who was one of the speakers he highlighted what he believes were the dangers of saudi arabias policies and called for the u. K. To block weapons sales to the kingdom due to its assault on yemen. Support on saudi arabias actions in yemen with. As foolish as it is reprehensible. It is very clear that war crimes have been committed in the conflict in yemen both in relation to interest going to tax on civilians and by using agents donation as a weapon of war britains silence on these matters. And. You see. The fact that we are at the same time supplying arms to side us makes it even more. Demolish al has more of the conference in london. As events continue to develop in the gulf region the attention of the world particularly western capitals is increasing with regards to whats going on there particularly saudi arabia this conference is that. Time to addressing some of the key issues coming out of saudi arabia namely the human rights records or the lack of human rights in the kingdom as well as whats going on in terms of power consolidation by. Prince mohammed bin man that included the crackdown not only in terms of opposition figures but also members of the family that crackdown according to the government is an Anti Corruption crackdown but according to people here in observers that something or nothing less than an attempt by the. Man to eliminate any form of opposition or competition for the crown of the significance of the United Kingdom is that it holds very strong ties with saudi arabia particularly an arms deals and this is something that is very significant when you look at for example the war in yemen saudi arabia has been criticized by United Nations and many human rights organizations for essentially allegedly committing war crimes and those war crimes would have been committed by arms that they bought from western powers and thats why we have senior political figures and former political leaders a Political PartyUnited Kingdom the man that the British Government stop selling arms to saudi arabia but also saudis involvement or interference according to some people in regional countries particularly in yemen as well as they are. For the blockade imposed on qatar has also been on the agenda so the message from many of the people here is that its time that the International Community actually plays a more active role in whats going on in the g. C. C. Before things get out of hand. There are reports the trumpet ministration is threatening to shut down palestine as Diplomatic Office in washington d. C. U. S. Media says officials are considering closing the Palestine Liberation Organization d. C. Mission unless a group does a peace talks with israel Palestine Foreign minister says the group wont give in to what he called extortion. Well after being completely sealed off since august the rafa Border Crossing from gaza into egypt has reopened but only temporarily run through is meant to open indefinitely that was part of a palestinian reconciliation deal brokered by egypt under the deal the Palestinian Authority is handing the crossing and not hamas hundreds of people queued for hours at the border to have their paperwork processed so they could cross only humanitarian cases from guards or will be allowed into egypt at this stage. Four hundred thousand syrians living in the damascus suburb of cooter have been besieged by Government Forces for the past four years the area sided with opposition fighters and thats meant that food aid and medical supplies havent been making it in doctors there say many residents could die if theyre not immediately evacuated the salvage of it reports now from. There the turkey syria border. Twelve year old drafts a first from Cerebral Palsy a condition which inhibits her brains growth the room is dark because there isnt much electricity in eastern good this is what she looked like before the siege and before she ran out of medicine her mother used to give her honey milk and other nutritious food but not anymore. And then half used to be well and was going to school until there was a lack of. My husband cant work and because of the high prices we cant afford much. Thats been the case for the last four years after syrian Government Forces besieged the area which is home to four hundred thousand people this is the most popular dish these days while corn or for large families a contrast with the luxury of salt for those who can afford it. The Assad Government has allowed in some aid but the u. N. Says that is only enough for around ten percent of the besieged people this year the Syrian Regime approved around a quarter of United Nations requests to deliver assistance the u. N. Says the plight of civilians is an outrage and that it might constitute a war crime. The lack of food and medicine have forced more people towards hospitals in july doctors identified four hundred fifty two patients who still need to be evacuated as the United Nations await approval from the Assad Government nine of them have died faced with delays twenty nine among them were identified these are people who have one hundred percent chance of survival if theyre not given care so when they will die the situation is so desperate that after operations doctors need to reuse the single use items on this table. Whats regarded as medical waste everywhere else is sterilized and used again in the duma to the so these cues might be useful in saving and into life the late explosives which hospitals throw away are limited here so they washed before they can be used. Then they need to be laid out to dry because they dont know if and when more supplies will come in the use powder to make sure the gloves dont stick together. The staff say theyre also saving other single use medical supplies. We clean them because the supplies on available here and the not coming in with u. N. Aid we also stop some surgeries because of a lack of anesthetics the parents say theres no food or medicine for their starving and sick children. So they leave their infants to suck on their thumbs hoping that at least for a while theyll think its. Down to zero. Well still ahead here on aljazeera.

Lebanons Prime Minister saad hariri just wrapped up a meeting with frances president in paris in a bid to solve the political turmoil surrounding his resignation hariri landed in the french capital on saturday with his wife but two of us children remain in saudi arabia harry resigned in riyadh on november the fourth saying he feared for his life and blamed iran for stoking tension in the region his two week stay in the saudi kingdom prompted suggestions he was under house arrest which he really denies just moments ago he spoke to reporters for sixty. Politique with regards to the political situation i will be in beirut in the next few days to take part in the celebration of our independence and ill express opinions on all subjects once ive made president. Lets bring our correspondent in beirut zehava who was listening in to that i mean despite thanking the french for their supporters and also their role in the region i think the most telling words were his words about clarifying his position once he arrived back in beirut for Independence Day celebrations on wednesday. Yes weve heard the First Official confirmation that he will be returning to lebanon from the man himself saddle heidi telling the president of lebanon that he will be here he will attend those Independence Day celebrations on wednesday but in what capacity the Prime Minister saying that he will clarify his position make his position clear after he meets the president so people here are asking what is he going to do is he going to insist on his resignation or will will he reach some sort of an agreement a compromise deal with the president stay on as Prime Minister would drop his resignation if there are discussions lets say on the future of hezbollahs weapons we have to remember a few days ago in his first Public Comments in saudi arabia how did he did say that he would be willing to withdraw his resignation but on condition that hezbollah the Lebanese Group which is allied to iran would draws itself from a regional crises especially the crises in yemen and this is really a saudi demand a demand that hezbollah will unlikely hed so will he insists on his resignation or will he will some sort of compromise will be reached so different scenarios and people are asking what will happen next especially if he insists on resigning who will replace him there is going to be a political political vacuum a prolonged period of political instability so nothing is clear on what side of how do you will do next but hes saying that hes going to clarify everything once he reaches beirut. Lebanese people on the ground throughout the day i mean whats the general sense structurally here words coming from the Prime Ministers mouth when hes actually not in the saudi arabia but beyond its borders. Well yes sad how it is a rival to paris was in one way or another a way to show that hes a free man that hes able to leave saudi arabia because many lebanese including the president thought he was under house arrest he was being held against his will but the speculations really have not gone away he arrived with his wife but not with two of his children they stayed behind in riyadh now his aides are saying there they stayed in riyadh because theyre attending school not many people are buying that line we went to a hairy stronghold a neighborhood here in beirut yes some people thought that nothing is going on and everything is normal and saddle how d. D. Is not a hostage and but a lot of people even among his own supporters were asking questions saying that saudi arabia has influence over him he has judys and responsibilities towards him you know there has been a lot of anger that has backfired against the Saudi Arabian government what theyve done many people especially in the Sunni Community that community that they backed the community that they support they felt that in one way or another they robbed them from their leaders so its so there are still a lot of questions especially since his kids then come with him are they saying that is he still a political hostage he still needs to implement what they want is he going to come back and take a very hard line approach this is what saudi arabia wants so people are still worried and really Uncertain Times in lebanon or for the moment well leave it there and come back tears that situation develops and we find out exactly when mr hariri arrives back in beirut thank you lets move to another major story here in south asia bangladesh is hosting talks about the running a refugee crisis with Foreign Ministers from the e.

Those in chile will go to the polls in president ial elections on sunday but many say theyve lost trust in politicians after a series of corruption scandals newman has an update from santiago. Six years ago the University Students in chile captured the worlds imagination by undertaking a peaceful revolt for free quality education for all. The british newspaper the guardian named communist Party Student leader. The person of the year and the most glamorous revolutionary since che guevara. Georgia jackson became a poster boy for education reform but unsatisfied with progress four of the student leaders ran for congress and won promising to hold chilean politicians accountable from within the system and. Four years later congressman george or jackson concedes its been harder than he did expected theres no satisfaction because. The expectations are too high so. I feel that the people here in. This hole in politics to change their lives. Jackson is running for reelection at this time as part of the new Left Wing Coalition dissatisfied with the pace of change under the Current Center left government. Former communist student leaders come eleven call and Carole Guardiola who are also running again have been criticized for not pushing hard enough. At the university of chile these architecture students lament that their former leaders didnt achieve their promised goal one hundred percent free education. They felt the career presenters from a high position but they dont listen to us anymore we havent seen. Jackson or burridge on the streets protesting with us. We try every day. Every day with every action that we may jackson argues they need more time he and many other former student leaders are pinning their hopes on the new Broad Front Coalition which is loosely inspired in spains leftist well then most party and even Bernie Sanders in the United States for a coalition that was just formed in january its doing surprisingly well in the polls particularly amongst the disgruntled you. Which is why jackson continues to insist that the only way to push political limits is from within as he runs for congress again you see in human just sida santiago. New yorks financial district houses some of the citys most famous structures but a group of architects is injecting some artistic flair into a downtown square and such to solve the challenge in a way kristen salumi went to find out why. Its a cramped apartment even by manhattan standards which way they want to go at it over but for ten days at least its home for these four artists and if braving the elements in a chilly new york november wasnt enough the group also has to move their hut piece by piece across the square changing it from a shelter to a makeshift bridge and back again thats when things get tricky so once youve got once youve got the new floor or the beginnings of the new floor thats in there for thinking about wheres about wheres the kitchen. Wheres all the lumber in the bins like because it becomes this like mental pattern of. Mental puzzles. The team isnt allowed to touch the ground outside so beads to pick up food and supplies stored in the yellow boxes along the route also living sleeping eating and yes even going to the bathroom in the hut its called the new comers a performance architecture installation the artists say theyre trying to challenge the idea of architecture as permanent structures and explore new ways of sharing space its a theme collaborators alex waiter and board shelley have visited several times in recent works like two thousand and fourteen is in orbit or last years reactor which moved in the wind but while those works were tucked away from the general public this is right in the middle of the financial district and interaction with passers by is encouraged we actually really want to know what people think its a way of help because we are living in the work and they see the work from the outside so were only have an interior perspective of what this thing is and so they come to us with news from the outside looking in and through those discussions thats the way we build meaning to the course of the performance so far progress has been slow but steady the finishing line is in sight and only a few dropped nuts and bolts along the way.
