So the u. N. Says saudi arabia has not followed through on its promise to lift a two week blockade. Yemens Main International airport and one of its big seaports that is putting millions at risk of starvation and disease was on the lead Coalition Fighting in yemen had announced it would reopen the sunnah airport and the port of her data by thursday to allow in much needed aid but the red cross says there are now five cities without clean Drinking Water in the north son and her data those two cities we mentioned baiter again just those five cities puts two and a half Million People at risk of a new cholera outbreak and other water borne diseases the u. N. Says the blockade has aggravated an already die situation twenty one Million People are in need of a this is being called the worlds worst humanitarian disaster mohamad judging as our report.

Not just human as it is said things are actually. The fuel shortage in the countries that he says you know we want to try meeting the fuel is a comedy this weekend is by necessity ghoulish and to a looper issues that. Now as the u. N. Grows yet more concerned and a humanitarian crisis becomes even more dire yemenis in desperate need wait for answers and aid. Does either. We heard from alex divonne earlier he is the executive director of the World Peace Foundation and he says the International Community has failed in its response to yemen habilis in yemen is the famine crime of our generation it is the destruction of an entire country true gradual degradation of its economic infrastructure its social welfare infrastructure the deprivation of food its not as though the deliberate intent of the saudis and the reason that allies has been to create starvation but the way in which they have conducted the war has had that foreseeable result and their priority of conducting the war in the way they want to has consistently overwritten any humanitarian sensibility even up to today and clearly. Unless nature so may not only to bring in urgently needed humanitarian assistance to open the port to open the airports to be sure to revive and rebuild the Health Care Infrastructure but also to to rebuild the basic economy this is going to be a disaster that will last a generation if the United Nations declares famine in a particular place it does cause a humanitarian outcry does call cause International Agencies to say we must and to does generate publicity but there are no legal mechanisms there are no political or legal obligations on any government to act to prevent famine and this is clearly a shortcoming over many decades we have seen huge progress in overcoming famine in fewer famines less lethal famines and then in the last year or so that progress is being reversed because of the callous indifference of a number of governments around the world. In other news saudi backed Syrian Opposition groups have agreed to form a fifty member delegation that will attend next weeks u. N.

The question we should ask is what influence or what the real power mr de mistura has in bringing an twistin some using all the possibility towards the same time we have. Or the meeting that becomes like a precondition step before geneva at the same time and the other question that we also should we should also entertain is how far the russians the turks and the iranians are helping the geneva process so unfortunately the geneva process is. Being challenged more and more because we have four major crises within one we have the political crisis about syria and who should with that. Should remain in power or not you have the humanitarian crisis half of the put it population is i. D. P. s or even here is that unknown about half a million of casualties then you have the security crisis that is now being here out of the by all of the regional and International Powers im talking about i said so everybody is trying to maneuver or to handle one segment of the crisis from this and the fourth one which is woodson in the or making it more difficult for jenny of.

From the head of the president ial council to the interior ministry and the Department Working against illegal immigration dealing with this issue there have been instructions to form an Investigative Committee to find the truth and capture those responsible and take in the courts to be punished now twenty four hours ago we were getting the first news out of mannus island in Papua New Guinea about refugees being forcibly removed from the now closed Detention Center facility run by australia there these are some of the pictures that we had through protests ongoing this Detention Center as we said had been shut down however four hundred refugees had chosen to stay and this was them being forcibly removed were going to get an update on the story now as we look at these pictures because Andrew Thomas our correspondents there he is on the line from mannus ireland what is happening now whats changed in these past twenty four hours. Well it does now seem that what happened on the reporting was the beginning of the. Removed well sadly. Australian roderick the person. Who still bad thing on the right side came out values now seemed like the first of many possibility at least six hospital e. G. Have left them for a day and there are reports that the refugees have now been removed but not the sort of scale that would have been able to independently transfer im not yet. Nevertheless started the refugees that we have spoken to inside and those that have been taken out so. Now telling us the game itself back stay on the stand and say its going to be close but they are now willingly despite that some of the video on friday on your media again from inside the person here show immigration officials and police wielding bullets from traces striking where you chiefs are a bit of a contradiction that the refugees say they know the game is up im not going to leave willingly and gets in the chance that seem to share them being forcibly remarks are still a bit of a on clearer picture and its cool too much happening a long way from our cameras along with physically on mine a small island on the prison within a naval base and there are many checkpoints and so stop us getting anywhere close to where the you can see big old city being shops and things not all signed ok i have to keep asking this on this story andrew is clarification when we say theyre being removed and going where are they going to be it is an island where they suspect. The trunk. Theyre turning to the only real town on the current account called laurent which is where i am right now it stops also now as well as away from that place and whats happened is that we all start really on the run twice and was found to be unconstitutional by a couple you can you call over a year ago and australia said fair enough well close it down im going to study the government they have built four hundred sixty exclusive tonnes of accommodation in the town with the Papua New Guinean government and the push to run now the refugees that i want to start a corporation they say its not ready yet and frankly some of it is and weve seen having machinery still Building Code or some of it is pretty its not luxury or its but its adequate for the refugees also cite theres a fair bit of safety in learning how to have been attacked from refugees in the past but could be absolutely mixed but main reason the refugees dont want to believe that im a christian because they are making a stand they are holding a crisis they are making the point that they dont want to be your group one person approaching to what they see as respectively another this morning town doesnt have balls and trying to bring the answer pleased as you say this is a romance on an interim note country and i dont see any cause for problem like this and they want to make as much noise as certainly if they feel transferred from one place to another to be absolutely honest this is not you will respond text than it is about the shoe dying just in terms of the long lived here and now Andrew Thomas is on man asylum thank you for that update he talks about well the protests and what happens to people you might remember if you were watching around this time yesterday we spoke to beth who is bush cheney who is a refugee on man a father and weve got him on the phone again now the who is can you hear me all right.

Each mission mean a peaceful protest more than one hundred for more than point. Where. Peaceful only. I think i think. The government was younger our money its responsible.
