State serves as a reminder of how fragmented me and mar is while the syria may be at peace for now its the people that continue to pay the price of civil war through isolation and a lack of developments wayne hay al jazeera.

The moslems are long today god willing i heard there is a game after the game we should go to the streets for one hour we will protest outside our homes if we see that there is a large number of protesters we should keep going with them if we see police here and stop and go back home we should exhaust c.

Aljazeera zimbabwe. Where violence technical failure and disillusionment have had a dramatic impact on afghanistans president ial election and the Election Commission official says the estimated voter turnout was just over 2000000 people out of more than 9 and a half 1000000 registered voters about a 5th of polling stations didnt open or her communications cut off almost 70 attacks across the country left 5 people dead and injured hundreds of others we can speak now to our correspondent robert bryce hes there in the Afghan Capital kabul and rob so it seems like a combination of fear and skepticism perhaps people away from voting. Thats right and these numbers these seem to be borne out by the figures that we are getting now from the Election Commission we knew that voter turnout yesterday saturday was going to be low and it seems that were just finding out now exactly how though those voting figures were to give you a breakdown these figures there were Something Like 4500 at polling stations that did open yesterday for the election as you mentioned there martine around 500 or so couldnt open because of the security threats and weve now had returns from around 5560 percent of those some 2500 polling stations now theres you mentioned that they it shows that just over a 1000000 people voted and these you have to be bear in mind that these are polling stations which are largely in the urban areas where they were able to get their figures back relatively quickly where you had more security where more people could vote the concern is that the figures that were going to get back beyond this the remaining polling stations were the ones out in rural areas the countryside where the taliban threat was probably more obvious and so the concern is that 2000000. 00 actually might be an optimistic figure but even if it is this projected figure of about 2000000. 00 you have to bear in mind that this is out of a registered population people registered to vote came to 9000000. 00 and thats out of a population of 30000000. 00 plus here in afghanistan marty and i mean the question has to be else is there a threshold below which the. Results from this election could be declared as being incredible or less than credible given that people actually took part in it. Yeah absolutely thats been the concern all along that its had to be the Afghan Government today sunday is hailing this as a success i mean they would say that wouldnt it i mean it is trying to put a brave face on this saying that yes despite all of the diet predictions it has to be said there were dire predictions in the couple of weeks running up to this with the peace talks breaking down with threats from the taliban the government has been able to maintain a certain level of security throughout the country even to the point at which 3 pm yesterday afternoon sunday they said they were going to keep the polling stations open for an extra couple of hours so the government is hailing this as being not too bad there were there was security it allowed people to vote it would be arguing that people maybe stayed away because of the threat of the taliban more skeptical people would say basically that there is a lack of confidence in this vote and apathy amongst the electorate read mcbride live in the Afghan Capital kabul thank you. Now police in nigeria trying to find the families of hundreds of men and boys freed from a purported school on thursday. As many as 400 kept his some as young as 6 were released during a raid in the city of continued they were supposed to be enrolled in a Religious School and several of them had been chained up beaten or sexually abused several people are safe are being arrested. The man with a controversial record has won the world athletics championships 100 meters u. S. Around the Christian Coleman was only cleared to race 3 weeks ago he missed 3 drugs tests in a year but he wasnt bad and coleman was the leading runner coming into the race and kept his form in the final winning gold with a time of 9. 76 seconds there are some there who say coleman shouldnt even have been that the championships as well as correspondent andy rishon reports from the harley festing to. Their off the more respected figures in the world of lesser extent out of Michael Johnson the american sprinter he won 4 olympic titles he says Christian Coleman has no right to be the new face of athletics in the post you sign but era and that is because in the build up to the championships coleman missed 3 out of competition by contests and in theory should have seen him from this event as it was he managed to escape that suspension g to effectively a paperwork technicality. You same as the moon you know crystal coleman you know it is just. Arlo is an incredible feeling to come out here in the air monday to a list of guys you know listen there are no words samples now to say that im a word sample is an incredible feeling something to dedicate its our lives in the past couple of years or so its humbling feeling about the dive into a big ice bath tub right now we do with a myself between tony olympics ill be back the planes come back stronger and better my son has put my feet to the fire i promised him a couple years ago and ill take him to what he lives for retires so this is my be my last one so as a stay true to that spins been a couple years definitely just frightened out of ever city trying to stay positive throughout the years but im definitely im happy im grateful to be back on the podium and i think is a step in the right direction for me for next year the head of world athletics sebastian current has been more diplomatic than johnson. Saying the legal loophole the coleman was able to jump through is now being reviewed and the coleman does have every right to be championships its important to point out the common has never tested positive and has always said he is running clean said its easy for people quite fast and loose with the reputations of athletes people need to be careful the reputation common now has is that of a world champion. Taking over the top stories here it is era antigovernment protests is in hong kong a holding another mass rally there denouncing what they describe as chinese terror and the police have already made arrests and use pepper spray to try to break up the crowd solidarity rallies are also being held in major cities around the world yemens hooty rebels say thousands of saudi backed fighters have surrendered to them following a months long military campaign the heavy is have been targeting the southern saudi region of not drive a military Spokesman Says have also captured several saudi Army Officers as.

S. Runner Christian Coleman was only cleared to race 3 weeks ago he missed 3 drug tests in a year but he wasnt bad and he won gold with a time of 9. 76 seconds right coming up next here its planet s. O. S. With amanda burrow. Youve been accused by several women of being detained youve been instructed to confinements all the while youve framed from speaking to the media why are we trying to talk about islamic studies professor tonic ground. 0 about the ongoing rate thank you sanctions against. Hello im a mans apparel welcome to planet s. O. S. A new warning from the un that our oceans and vast frozen spaces could turn against us as our planet overheats. And. And we see ourselves if we see we can see in nature. The head of the u. N. Implores governments to act millions of people around the world takes the streets to some of the largest climate protests in history and will meet people tackling the environmental damage on the doorsteps. Of our oceans and ice sheets the warming as never before with profound consequences for all life on earth thats the warning from the latest report by the uns Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change the i. P. C. C. And it really makes for pretty grim reading with forecasts of play still melt rising sea levels intense storms loss of marine life unless we curb Global Warming slee the 100 page study is the work of more than 100 scientists from 36 countries but insists that while some impacts are inevitable there is still time to act to avoid the worst. And across a few critical. On through. All this report is showing that if Greenhouse Gas emissions continue to increase Global Warming will drastically alter the ocean and across the room however if we reduce emissions roughly consequences for people and their livelihoods will still be challenging but they will be potentially more manageable for those most vulnerable while there are some pretty striking findings here are oceans of take up 90 percent of the worlds excess heat theyve been warming for half a century and expanding as they do so and theyve also been absorbing up to 30 percent of c o 2 emissions which is make them more acidic around 15 percent of marine animals are likely to disappear by the end of the century and as a really high risk that water coral reefs will vanish altogether if emissions are not curbed 70 percent of the earths permafrost will melt will he simply aliens of tons of c o 2 and methane into the atmosphere ice sheets and glasses in mountain regions and at the poles will for further to hitting people 1st with too much water and then leaving them with too little as the fresh water pours into the scenes severe floods that used to happen once every century could hit every year by 2050 and sea levels will rise low lying coastal regions and cities will be swamps like the city of shanghai home to 24000000 people here it is now under the 3 degree world should temperatures rise further some island nations will simply cease to exist and many of us will join the growing number of climate refugees rising Global Temperatures are already causing glasses and ice sheets to melt in pakistan and many of those downstream live in fear of catastrophe Priyanka Gupta reports. This dark wall of ice creeps closer to the village of huston about every day the sheesh book racier is 15 kilometers long and as wide as 14 football pitches its moving as much as 4 metres a day quicker than any other gracie in the world and churning solid ground into river of mud. Local villages are scared. We are under constant threat in these places and a very much worried not only about ourselves but also about our farmlands and prosperity which is the main source of our living. There are more than 5000 known places in the mountain ranges of pakistan. Many are melting more than 3000 gratian lakes have appeared 33 of them are at risk of overflowing and causing major floods 7000000 people live in their part. And only Warning System is being installed in remote areas but there are many challenges its complicated to get the equipment and its complicated to know how to set it up so in designing the project and putting in monitoring facilities work with the community its not an easy thing to do these go of projects should go ahead quickly because they represent a risk to people its not caseys in pakistan under threat researchers warn that 36 percent of all along the hindu kush and Himalayan Mountain range will melt by 2100 if governments dont do enough to stop Global Warming. For the people of us now bad thats happening right now Priyanka Gupta our dizzier lets go now from the mountains to the sea to one of the front lines of the battle to save on marine life nick clark is with a team of scientists on a greenpeace expedition off south america yes were in a unique expedition charting unexplored waters exploring a newly discovered area of reef about 134 kilometers off the shores of French Guiana at the mouth of the amazon is about 500 kilometers in that direction and if you look up you can see the Greenpeace Campaign vessel esperanza. Theyre conducting all manner of research from the seabed to the surface and building the case for introducing marine protected areas to 30 percent of the worlds oceans by 2030 this is all part of the measures Scientists Say need to be taken to help protect the living world from the worst effects of Climate Change well earlier i spoke to search plane who is from the French Center for Scientific Research and 1st asked him about his area of expertise the coral reefs yes coral reefs will change a lot yes for proof will be transformed there are species that clearly not are not going to pass these over sort of our scenario and there are species that will disappear and all will be become marginal are all very restricted and we want to be sort of the habitat structure in species that we see now and so in the end well have probably corys that will be completely transformed much less diverse as they proceed in terms of coral coral being the just. The tax side thats sort of structure of the entire ecosystem so in the end its the entire system that will be transformed and this core evolves weve seen them in our life weve seen them for the last century will probably be dramatically changed in the next 50 years in the context of the i. P. C. C. You get to worry about life being ive been able in several centuries and 1000000 to adapt to different and then suddenly changing that habitat were transforming at anything and so the end of these these are the end of those 4 and we dont know exactly but clearly they will be strongly affected coral reefs the entire base of one marine ecosystem and one thats facing enormous change in pressure from Climate Change and then for sizing the importance of research the like which were seeing here on the esperanza in the bid to mitigate the effects of Climate Change. For more on the i. P. C. C. Report im joined from copenhagen by professor jason box hes an ice climatologist at the Geologic Survey of denmark and greenland has such been quoted extensively in the study professor bookselling so much for joining us look at the report it reads like a catalog of disasters they still melt Sea Level Rise extreme weather refugees its a pretty apocalyptic sounding scenario if it as bad as all that i think what stands out is the coherence of the story and that is because the Climate Changes are no longer subtle. Just a decade or 2 ago the story was more uncertain because the climate system was still coming out of the noise but now were at a point where we see across the climate system and including ecosystems really dramatic changes and unfortunately we expect them to intensify youve been studying greenland the optics for many years now what are the major changes that youre noticing that what is the impact of them we used to look at these individual elements now we see the system changing we see arctic changes radiating out of the arctic that is weather patterns in the mid latitudes are affected by the arctic which is warming twice as fast as the globe that is slowing down the jet stream causing slower moving weather patterns and that is precisely what produces droughts or floods even periods of extended cold weather this is the 4th of 4 u. N. Reports in the past year weve had by diverse state and also there and hes and the 1. 5 degrees centigrade warming report when you look at all of these or pull together 3 or scientists eyes what do you see i think my biggest concern is about Food Security and water security. Threats from drought on food and water security will already be felt now Sea Level Rise that is a problem on the horizon and one question i will instead it is have you seen a massive collapse of a glass you have you seen ice falling into the into the sea and how does that feel i have been travelling to greenland the last 25 years ive been able to witness the landscape changes retreat of glaciers out of a few words that really surprised me this year for example we were walking down a glacier and we walked past a giant hole that had formed in a glacier that used used to be very convenient for us to walk down and i understood from local people that that occurred in the last few weeks so this fjord that we were working in the ice has retreated 5 kilometers since ive been working there and then now theres this giant hole that formed which makes it obvious that this is happening very fast the the ice is is so sensitive that its surprised me even after visiting there for 25 years professor were going to have to end it that thank you so much for appearing on planet earth. So clearly the need to cut Greenhouse Gas emissions and curb Global Warming is really didnt and yet record Carbon Dioxide levels in the atmosphere are a worrying reality just 2 countries china and the United States are responsible for over 40 percent of the worlds c o 2 emissions but the u. S. Is planning to pull out of the Paris Agreement and emissions in china rose around 4 percent in the 1st half of this year alone china is the worlds biggest consumer of energy importing coal from australia and asia and oil from the middle east and is building coal plants abroad and africa people on kenyas World Heritage lambing island have managed to stop chinas contractors from building one for now we met an environmental campaigner whos vowing to continue the fight 2015. There was a proposed park plants to be built by the government and we asked the community we are really a poison because it has a lot of environmental degradation its going to cost a lot of pollution the sea pollution the air and the water pollution. This is the the site that the proposed coal power plant is supposed to be built here if you can see behind this is where there is a sea here its only now that is too low tide but this area connects to the the deep sea and there are People Living here you can see their houses are there there are new modes here theyre people who have their farms and they come and cultivate their crops here. Our main concern is about the sea because theyre saying they will be dumping their waste from the land to the sea. The sea is the backbone of our people so if you will be putting poison into the sea that means you will be polluting the sea and that means the feed and everything is say this is going to be killed there so thats our main concern and the other one is about the dam being the ash the ash from the coal power plants when the dam pits into the land we have animals here we have people who are farmers it means when you are going to destroy the land then animals with no longer be there and the farmers can no longer do their farming activity so moving now from kenya to the global perspective every week on planet earth so s will bring you the level of Carbon Dioxide in the atmosphere and other big numbers to help us understand whats going on at the moment c o 2 levels are 408 parts per 1000000 thats 30 percent more than before the industrial era the average global temperature has gone up no point 9 degrees centigrade since the start of the 20th century and the level of Arctic Sea Ice has decreased for 12 months straight well despite these big and worrying figures a Climate Summit earlier this week failed to deliver Game Changing pledges to slash Carbon Emissions World Leaders gathered at the United Nations and the head of the un and tony gets harris urged them to offer concrete commitments and action plans not just speeches nature is angry and we set ourselves if we think we can see in nature because nature always strikes back and the wrong nature is striking back. Someone asked me the other day that its all of these make you despair. My answer was a clear and resound no i am hopeful and i am hopeful because of you this is not the climate talks summit we have here the enough talk this is not the climate negotiating summit because we dont negotiate with nature this is a Climate Action summit climate activists gretta turned bird issued another emotional plea she accused World Leaders a pretrial generation by failing to cut Greenhouse Gas emissions you have stolen my dreams my childhood with your empty words and yet im one of the lucky ones. People are suffering people are dying entire School Systems are collapsing we are in the beginning of a mass extinction and all you can talk about is money and fame or tales of eternal Economic Growth so a really powerful call for World Leaders to step up but only 77 countries said they are committed to being Carbon Neutral by 2050 some of the worlds biggest emitters such as australia and brazil didnt make any pledges atoll and President Donald Trump who wants to prove the u. S. Out of the paris climate agreement attended only briefly. Now gulf states make up 3 of the top 4 at mit is when Carbon Emissions are assessed on a per capita basis so the total emissions divided up by the number of people in the country but the mayor of qatar is promising change no 100 today you will hear the phenomenon of Climate Change is undoubtedly one of the serious challenges of our time causing many problems including economic environmental and social problems all cease must fulfill their responsibilities and honor their commitments under International Agreements and the state of qatar has assumed its responsibilities as an active or there in the International Community to confront Climate Change bill had a mari is the director of the Climate Change department qatars Environment Ministry and he joins me from new york mr omara thank you very much for being here what exactly is qatar doing to on its commitments. Cutters commitment is in line with the vision of 2030 and the believe and understanding of for the government that Climate Change is a very important issue and its a cross border phenomena that needs to have all its faults and solidarity to achieve. Meaningful outcome and approach to blame and Climate Action and that is agreement where the challenge is if qatar is to stick to its 2030 vision of Economic Development plus Environmental Protection and also to reach the Carbon Neutrality required by the Paris Agreement then thats impossible if it continues to depend on fossil fuels which are the base of its economy and yet the switch to Renewable Energy here seems to be rather slow this is something that is actually its not only in the in qatar you know it is the dilemma that were all facing in terms of energy the knowledge is limited in terms of for renewable is for instance this is a harsh environment but we have to face the problem of does and heating of the panels so we are doing our best really to have our own customized kind of renewable sources the science shows that if Current Trends continue then by 2100 then this region will be uninhabitable its guitar prepared to leave its dependence on fossil fuels in order to ensure that future generations here do not become climate refugees. Well look we recognize and they were by the noise that oil and gas or the fossil fuel is that the bleeding the source and that is why you are there visit find in terms of you know other sectors including sport and occasion and many others but still we are trying to really also add up to the harsh environment that we have there are said is that we have already that shows this and backed is really there and it is increasing and we need to be ready for it seem events but as we said before this is something that needs to need to do that a t. And working together otherwise then backed or having their response and to the right level is not going to be really. You know having that item affect my summary thank you very much i get to have you on the show thank you very much thank you for having me thank you. As World Leaders remain divided on climate young people have shown they are truly united on the issue from new zealand to italy to come and millions of children skipped school again on friday to hold Global Climate strikes organizers say hoff a 1000000 students and adults joined gretta turn back at a rally in montreal and they have some words of wisdom for those in charge if you dont do this no be no future for us to work in church the point of studying in school in the world today we got these new mintern are doing justice to our planet of. Less than a budget deal is over the blessed the so you do. Move is all movie we want action from you where are you when you were going to keep fighting for the stain ability that we deserve and i believe. It would be. Starting with the banning of single use personally and even the banning of fossil fuels would be greatly to take product of wasting. Gases and we should actually take frayns to take bite from predators potations political newsroom agreement to. Show. You go to hell in your mind as a goal if you life improved in life this is really like your hour like no more time to act on Climate Change because people around the world are already being affected my generation really shouldnt have to be out here missing school we should be in school. As it almost put the head of the port in cmos were kidding that is we should i be fortunate because heres a look at energy and this is the only planet we have to live in now theres a wealth of information out there from the media collaboration covering climate now like this one on the Guardian Newspapers websites explaining the Climate Crisis in 10 shots the states are on the rise of com dioxide a timeline of deforestation in the amazon as well as potential solutions. And there are plenty of great explainers like this one from hot mess its a publicly funded you tube channel out of the us devoted entirely to the Climate Crisis a lot of people around the world are already trying to do things differently even when others around them on mariella come o. Is a maori woman from new zealand who this year embarked on what became a very public Journey Towards 0 waste. Its a feeling it will thing i think for most Indigenous Peoples to to hear about their footprint in the way that we engage with. The environment and how we respect that we did create this pretty close to 0 waste values growing up but i didnt even think of it that way until the beginning of this year when i decided to try the things here at west for one month and i thought of this with others so i called it the month of change. Really focused on it being one of the one month ill try this thing out and man i really struggled for. I mean i i think i probably failed immediately because as it turns out you cant really decide to go 0 waste you have to undo so much of what youve learned ive discovered one of the cool things how much we believe that we need stuff that we actually dont need so i had to do a whole lot of beliefs and a whole lot of practices and one of those things was discovering that i didnt need cleaning products i dont buy cleaning products and only more just dont need them and i was trying things that baking breeden making biscuits and because i didnt im a total sugar freak and i dont want to be buying chocolate like i normally would find either a source of where we can find a place to call pick a tree produce or grow it its tricky focus for me id is really is trying to keep the rubbish been empty this is some of the paraphernalia that ive collected for the 0 waste over this year i dont have all of this with me all of the time i have usually 2 or 3 of these things depending on what i think im going to need to in the day and if i struck something that i would like to buy but dont have the ability to. To buy without having Something Like this in the system were not winning every day but were trying every day and thats what i say to people who are interested in this journey is try every day do what you can and. More every single day and at the end of the month there was no question of whether i will keep going and a lot of it was to do with the joy that i found in practicing this lifestyle you reconnect with you reconnect back to what provides for us how how hard it tries to sustain us. And how lucky we are that we have a planet that is despite our great efforts is still trying to keep us alive so fascinating insight into ways we can reduce waste and we love to hear from you what are you and those around you doing to minimize your impact on the planets you can get in touch with us on social media the hash tag is a. J.

Big stores generate fountains of headlines it seems that much the media is still struggling with how to deal with it with different angles from different perspectives and you hold to account separating the spin from the facts. The misinformation from the journalism how careful must you choose your words but some tough stuff has to be said so some critics have to be made listening post on. Police in hong kong use tear gas and pepper spray as thousands protest. Below 100. 00 al jazeera live from doha im martine that is also coming out early projections suggest only about a 5th of afghanistans registered voters cast their ballot in the president ial election. Yemens foreign minister blames iran for the years long war also hits out at the u. A. E. For supporting separatists in the south. A rapidly rising death toll in northern india as late monsoon rains caused widespread flooding. But 1st antigovernment protested in Hong Kong Holding another day of mass administrations riot police have already made arrests and using tear gas to break up the crowds particularly in the causeway bay district protests as a marching towards a Central Government complex all of this just to. Days before communist chinas 70th anniversary solidarity rallies are being planned throughout major cities around the lets go live to our correspondent sara clark whos there in hong kong and we can see a line behind you sara of heavily armed police. This is the front line of the police where we are now the central is behind us and what these police have done is that theyve moved in and charge these protesters the protesters are in my face the front of me and the front of the march thats coming from. The march i didnt see the mission to go ahead by the police on sunday i had murdered far earlier than the other protests that weve experienced and attended over the months or the recent months but what theyve done is they fire a number of rounds of tear gas trying to push this crowd back and avoid them getting to government headquarters which is on my right on my left hand side at the moment i would say in confrontations the whole way along this road this about a 2 kilometer stretch from course whereby all the way and essentially but this strategy this time seems to have changed the place as i mentioned earlier have moved in and weve seen a number of confrontations and pepper spray and various things used earlier than what we normally expect which is normally after dark when they try to disperse the crowds and tension seemed to be very high a so even for hong kong are you getting a sense of there being. A building up if you like of tension and apprehension if you like given the important turn aversive 70 years since the founding of the communist takeover of china is just 2 days away 8. Yes correct the lead up to the october chair but i call it a Chinas National Day has been intensifying over recent weeks and the police have been preparing for this theyve been theyve been preparing for the intensity of these but these protests escalate as we get to approach october 1 which is the again the 70th anniversary of the founding of the peoples republic of china and certainly today sunday here in hong kong weve seen evidence of that you see the numbers of people still build there still huge numbers of people liking their way back all the way back to course by by from central and despite being told by police not to go ahead theyve gone ahead with this particular protest today anyway. And as a result theyre using dispersal methods far earlier than already put the flags up warning these crowds to push back and theyve also blocked a huge number of roads which surround the legs of Council Building or government headquarters to try and stop them from getting anywhere near that particular area i should state that area the government hit and the legislative Council Building thats right next to the Peoples Liberation Army Barracks and thats chinas Army Barracks so that area is extraordinarily sensitive hence why the police are trying to kick them back on sundays ballot thats all its really. All right for now sara thank you very much sarah clarke there live in hong kong. The violence technical failure and disillusionment have had a dramatic impact on afghanistans president ial election and the Election Commission official says the estimated voter turnout for sas in these vote was just over 2000000 people out of more than 9 and a half 1000000 registered voters about a 5th of polling stations didnt open or they had their communications cut off almost 70 attacks across the country killed 5 people hundreds of others were injured lets speak to our correspondent in the Afghan Capital kabul rob mcbride and rob these are unofficial figures at this point but just over 2000000 people taking part in this election is not a good sign. Absolutely martine i mean we knew from anecdotally from the turnout yesterday across the country in saturdays election that the turnout was going to be low but these figures i think are just telling us exactly how low they are in the 8 days you mentioned that these are only enter in figure but this is from the Election Commission giving us the 1st indications of how people voted from 4500 polling stations that were opened throughout the country as you mentioned there 500 couldnt open because of Security Fears and out of those 4500 and well over half of now reported how many people voted in the figure is just over a 1000000 now if you consider that the rest of the polling stations that are going to down start reporting their figures are the ones that are outside of the cities largely the cities are where the mainly the security d can be secured can be maintained in the country areas the role areas thats where the taliban tends to be stronger and has given its threats to close down saying it will take punishments against people who vote we could expect actually to have much lower figures of people going out so that 2000000 people voting could actually be on the optimistic side and as you mentioned that this is out of 9000000 registered voters so it is a very low turnout if it is just 2000000. 00 and compare that with the last president ial election 5 years ago when 8000000. 00 people voted out of a population of 30000000. 00 plus 5 years ago there was far more security that was far more optimism it was far more of a president ial election this seems to have been far more a shadow of its former self and as you mentioned there will be questions asked about its validity marty and this is the point isnt it because an inconclusive result. In an outlet that is amy had minimal participation of afghanistans people is pretty. Helpful to afghans and even along its path towards peace. Absolutely but there again the Afghan Government would argue that it did carry through on its promise to hold an election despite this some precedented period of insecurity despite threats from the taliban and to some degree there right there was relative security throughout the country even to the point where they kept the polls open for an extra couple of hours and they would argue as anybody would its the nature of democracy that even if you have 2000000 people voting if just over 1000000000. 00 of those has voted for one of these 14 candidates then that person becomes president regardless of the fact that youre living in a country of 30000000. 00 plus that is the nature of any democratic system but yes it has to be argued that this could destabilize things rather than leading to some kind of formal long term Peace Agreement thats always the concern and already between the candidates we are getting allegations of fraud of ballot stuffing in boxes and so on and we can expect more of that as we go through what expecting the final declaration of the results of this all in november the 7th and then if we have no one right window which seems increasingly likely then we have to go through the whole thing again with an election runoff later on martine all right rob thanks for that bride there live in kabul yemens if the rebels say thousands of saudi bad fighters have some ran dead during a months long military campaign the hit is had been targeting the southern saudi region of now dr and at the u. N. General assembly the Yemeni Foreign minister the minister of the internationally recognized government he used his speech to blame iran for the conflict also in jordan has more.

Yemen when iran has sown heavy has wrought havoc in the arab peninsula it has created trained and financed toothy militias to brandish the slogan of the iranian revolution and they havent priced an approach based on abuse repression and torture the who things have transformed the region into a stronghold to launch rockets in order to threaten the security of neighboring states and never gave in the see. Who they forces meanwhile have reversed their decision to observe their own ceasefire instead they claimed theyve made significant progress in border fighting against Saudi Coalition troops as well as against yemeni fighters backed by saudi arabia. Thousands of the enemy forces have been captured as prisoners others were killed from among the prisoners is a large number of high ranking officers and soldiers of saudi citizenship more than 72 hours from the launch of an operation they have been destroyed imprisoned and captured. A former u. S. Diplomat says with both sides intent on winning the. War its been tough for you went on for ways and for regional negotiators to end a war that has led to widespread hunger disease and displacement they. Are strong on the ground and they have done. It in 2009 in november when the saudis 1st snarkier against them they went inside saudi border is near that measure on area and they captured both 100 warder guards then they use them for water so i imagine after this i would be this big not unconditionally accept their piece of them that they once again want to show. There are capable of inflicting harm. And then again in fly a prisoner swap and peace talks when it doesnt seem as if peace talks will happen any time soon at least mohamad hard tommy has reminded the International Community this country is still got 5 more rosalyn jordan aljazeera the United Nations well the foreign minister also criticised the United Arab Emirates for its support of separatists in southern yemen thought of.
