major fire tears through parts of a camp in bangladesh that houses more than 850000 refugees. hundreds of thousands of people have fled the violence in mozambique and there are fears now some could be radicalized by i so. almost 6 years to the day since saudi arabia intervened in yemen helping create the world's worst humanitarian crisis but now it's offering up a plan for peace in the past year as the saudi foreign minister feisal been for outlined a yemen peace initiative that includes a nationwide cease fire under the supervision of the united nations followed by a resumption of political talks to end the war there would also be an easing of the blockade on the port of a beta and a partial reopening of some airport but according to the foreign minister this will all hinge on the who to use and whether they accept the proposal. we will work with the international community with our partners and with the government of yemen to push toward this initiative being implemented we will do all we can to put the necessary pressure on the who these to accept and to come to the negotiating table and to lay down arms because we believe that a stop to the fighting and a focus on a political solution is the only way forward we will nonetheless continue to support the people of yemen and the government of yemen and we will continue to protect our borders and our citizens and our infrastructure from the attacks. that's why not get reaction from the u.s. with kimberly how could it the white house say anything from their camp because i know that the u.s. had been putting the pressure on the hood to saying they needed to come to the table. and the united states has maintained that the only solution to this conflict is a political one now we understand that the u.s. secretary of state in a phone call with saudi arabia's foreign minister that they have pushed this conversation forward once again the united states reiterating its commitment to protecting saudi arabia or at least allowing it to defend itself something that the united states supports well the same time condemning the attacks on saudi territory the understanding that has been working out between the secretary of state the foreign minister is of course to that and how to work to resolve the humanitarian crisis that you have mentioned has been exacerbated as a result of this conflict when the united nations has called a humanitarian disaster this is all part of the united states is recalibration in terms of the saudi relationship noting that when it is in u.s. national security interests it supports saudi arabia defending itself but at the same time there's a lot of internal pressure here on the biden administration from members of his own party to see this situation resolved the concern about making sure that the yemenis civilians are getting adequate access to the humanitarian aid that the world has provided so as a result this phone conversation now just being made public here in the united states and around the world of course coming on the heels of this announcement from saudi arabia as part of this peace initiative to try and end the conflict in yemen that has been led by the saudi led coalition for so long. can we how could our white house correspondent. on to other news the european union the u.k. the united states canada of all launched a coordinated set of sanctions over human rights abuses in china a series of announcements on monday where governments revealed they were sanctioning for chinese officials for very role in the abuse of

politicians for severely its words harming its sovereignty and spreading lies in this information use foreign policy chief said they wanted china to engage in dialogue and not to continue being undertaken rather than changes policies and address our legitimate concern and china is against a blind eye and these measures are related to will and acts unacceptable. there will be no change in the european union digitally nation to defend your current rates and to respond to seriously your relations and abuses as he said your respective or where they are commit the e.u. also condemn the military coup in may and mar and lethal crackdown that's happened since then all the details now with him in paris. foreign ministers and mounting sanctions against levon military leaders in myanmar all connected to the coup that took place in february and to the ongoing violence as well as their companies and their businesses now what the e.u. foreign ministers say is that these leaders will have any of their e.u. linked assets frozen they will be visa and travel bans imposed on all of them and i mean is there any e.u. business is a banks or investors will not be able they will be banned from working with the companies belonging to any of these military leaders so they are the toughest response by the european union to the leaders in myanmar and of course one of the main the main military leader many lang has been sanctions imposed against same as well he is the head of the joint or so certainly a very strong message from the e.u. that any rights violations and violations against democracy will be punished foreign ministers are also decided to impose sanctions on officials individuals and companies in a number of countries where they say that human rights violations are being carried out they most significantly of imposed sanctions against or for top chinese officials for rights abuses against the muslim we go minority in china a major fire has swept through camp in bangladesh a fire of about a kind of camp in cox's bazar is destroyed hundreds of tens of thousands of people without shelter health centers and other facilities have also been destroyed and no casualties have been immediately reported his temperature is in darker and says the fire is under control now of thousands of refugees have nowhere to go. there is no government bill shelter par say with this record you can stay over night you probably have to use the simple r.c. camp which is the camp office or they have to use probably some of the family places now a lot of the danger comes from cooking cylinder they use that which is called l.p.g. get cylinder because each family gets one cylinder for cooking this is to have white cutting odes in the nearby forest to have white and varmint of destruction this is all supposing danger because many of times this fire started from this gas cylinder that highly combustible and also this flimsy hearts are made out of pain and bambos and toppling which is a clear gain here to save the children say that it is in a statement just brought out today that at least 80000 people could be adversely affected by this fire in the area where they live in by the cali a lot of the children's learning center are damaged many of the schools that are temporary schools rather jolly and the children are traumatized by this incident if here how do you tackle this sort of situation in coming days the government has also shifted about 13000 refugees to an island remote island called passion charge they want to take it 100000 clearly to decongest the camp for security reasons as well as the condition region but safety concerning one of the lot of the largest camp in the wall and densely populated is a major issue. on tuesday israel will hold its 4th election in 2 years on the pollsters are expecting another inconclusive result but palestinian voters also get a chance to have their voice heard the 1st time in 15 years they will be electing a new parliament that will be in may. one palestinian family whose members can actually vote in 2 different directions. for this palestinian family 2 upcoming elections are producing 2 very different reactions i've let him down like her husband to malice palestinian but unlike him she's also a citizen of israel she can take part in the country's polls on tuesday and while she doesn't expect real change she says voting is a duty in the end of that there's a lot of how the heck if i give up this right then i've given the others the chance to decide on my future the political decision follows the majority and if i didn't vote how can i complain later jamal is allowed to live with his family in israel but he's not an israeli citizen he can only cast ballots in palestinian polls in the occupied west bank and gaza and he did get that chance in may the long overdue parliamentary elections are the 1st in 15 years however you want to be voting which had the vote we're not going to win this battle in the me in my vote doesn't make a difference the same people will stay in power regardless the faces of palestinian officials may change but their policies are the same israel has the upper hand here when it comes to the occupied territory. according to pollsters jamal's opinion is not popular among most palestinians we've got the impression by the. way that palestinians are looking positively. at the fact that israel is having elections and that the palestinian public at large miss. election when it comes to elections in israel palestinians worry that no matter who wins the country's leaders will continue to control the lands and lives of palestinians israeli settlers living in the heart of the west bank can put up election campaign posters and have a say in their future but palestinians living in the same area cannot put up posters like he and their leaders and the palestinian authority can change so little in the reality of the occupation back of the hand that household i bless says the determination of palestinian israelis to have their say is the only way to make a difference both of us as a citizen i know that israel is working for its own benefit it's far fetched to assume that israel can say about us as a palestinian minority so let's start showing that we have a president change doesn't happen in a day jamal has never voted in his life and had no will cast her forth ballot in 2 years they may disagree politically but both share the hope for a better future for their children in that he manages the occupied west bank. in the news ahead. he's been our attorney detained and now we see that the process itself is not transparent. canada is denied access to a trial in beijing for one of its former diplomats of charges of espionage. we're not sure the worst of it potentially and that's why we need to process else what would be a very difficult way. to mass evacuations in australia after one of the. worst floods in decades. at the moment arabia is fairly quiet but there is a forecast here and that forecast brings quite strong winds out of libya through egypt and that's picked up sand like sand with it will take across the levant as well and you'll see ahead of it blue which is near beirut suggest days and days of showers well yes that seems likely because the weather's coming through turkey to the eastern med non shore breeze and showers all right quite a likely event mix that with the dust that's come up from egypt you have a fairly messy picture in the levant it might stay that far north beirut reflects it in fact you are very sundry day on once in quarter when do you want to and the temp just dropping from 25 down to 16 as a change of air comes across you know typical spring weather really and there is the picture forward so there is the multiple showers really from turkey all were down almost almost to egypt by this time and then further north dry you syria iraq the sand in the dust moving down towards q 8 and look at the temp shift your weight with that southerly wind right to 41 hour is surprisingly high for this time of the year in other places enjoying the waltz in south africa is 29 or 30 degrees persistent the next few days. frank assessments the world is on the brink of a catastrophic moral failure is that a fair assessment you can be out catastrophic failure to twice a valuable backseat informed opinions should we be buying bit coy ultimately it will be sovereigns and governments who are buying this that is the direction this is all headed in-depth analysis of the day's global headlines inside story on 00. you have al-jazeera these are the top stories this hour saudi arabia announcing a peace plan for the war in yemen includes a un monitored ceasefire a resumption of talks and the easing of a blockade on the port of data the rebels there said is nothing new in the offer of a continued to be open to dialogue. the european union the u.k. the united states canada have all launched a coordinated set of sanctions of human rights abuses in china china's retaliated with sanctions against 10 european politicians. and in bangladesh a major fire has swept through a camp. in the refugees hundreds of tents have been destroyed leaving thousands without shelter at this stage no casualties reports that. people displaced by armed groups affiliated with eisel in mozambique could become radicalized if the international community and the government don't intervene soon that warnings coming from the un refugee agency but meeting some of the worst affected communities this report is from harlem a tosser. the numbers keep going up in northern mozambique according to the un's refugee agency nearly 700000 people have been forced to flee their homes and more than 2000 have been killed we're lucky learner's village in the standard came under attack one night he fled with his wife children and grandchildren. they left because of the war that affected us it wasn't mine so we fled into the bush we stayed for days in the bush looking for a way out and running away from the conflict mozambique's government says fighters affiliated to eisele operating in parts of kabul delgado the militant group stage its 1st attack in 2017 since then the attacks have been bigger in scale and frequency taking on the army and the times seizing entire towns humanitarian workers reports beheadings rape abductions and other human rights abuses i spoke to a grandmother. who's daughter was killed during the conflict and the father of the child was beheaded and the grandmother is now caring for that child another woman i met is caring for a stranger's child who is now orphaned so this is common in this community now where the women are caring for each other's children where the parents have been lost. the government has started moving people to resettlement sites where it's believed to be safer but conditions there are basic and more funding and planning is needed to cover food medicines and other necessities the covered 9000 pandemic has made an already die economic and humanitarian crisis worse a lot of resources are needed we do not expect looking at this situation we do not expect the amount of people the number of people being displaced to flow to stop unfortunately for the time being and therefore more assistance is needed the u.n. is warning poverty frustration and unemployment in this gas rich region is making it easy for armed groups to recruit the united states says it's special forces will help train soldiers in mozambique to fight the insurgents portugal the country's former colonial power has also committed to changing the military for now people waiting for help to arrive say they feel abandoned by the country and the international community how to al-jazeera. gillian triggs briefly in that report we've got more of a chance to talk to her now assistant high commissioner for protection of the united nations high commission for refugees with us from geneva mistress thank you for your time those stories you told. of stuff my goodness and it seems to me that this acute issue that is happening now could end up being a generational problem you will quite simply get children growing up without any parents. well certainly what i saw in one of the settlement settlements. about 100 kilometers out there were children everywhere but these children many of them did not have parents it was hard of course to know exactly but certainly as i talk to the women with babies trying to feed them and younger children it was really an environment in which they were just trying to survive from one day to the next the key point is that this this humanitarian crisis is expected to get even worse with a 1000000 displaced by by june so there's no expectation by these people that they will be going home. they long for the conflict to come to an end they don't understand it but they don't see any real prospect of going home which is why the need for support for them as they try to reestablish their lives so they've got dry dry shelter clothes food they need they need that simply to survive and i feel this is something we've not perhaps heard enough about i mean this is one of the problems with so many refugee crises around the world syria dominated the headlines for so long more recently i would say to the to grow region as well and no as you say a situation in mozambique which is actually pretty huge already and only getting worse. well that's right it's been almost invisible. we do feel that the international community needs to understand the seriousness of this conflict it's not going to go away quickly it's deeply rooted it's very complex in mozambique and and it's one where the humanitarian consequences are are really. they're a very troubling to see people in this state of course also in a context of coded and of clones so there's displacement due to climate as well with flooding and loss of lands can you tell me gillian. as someone like myself who pretty much stays in the studio most of the time and to our viewers who wouldn't have any experience of this what it is like for you personally what impact it has on you to go and visit somewhere like this. well i think perhaps i can say that i stated of a nice hotel and drove in a clean and safe car to a settlement. and about 110 kilometers north of penda and you arrive on a cleared land it's rainy season so it's it's it's mud it breaks to read rich red soil with very little coat on it actually in the settlement excuse me and. so there you are sitting on the ground with women who are trying to feed babies but they're not lactating it's a comfort for the children and i think that that is the you see this shocking. disparity in the world of that we come from some of us in studio some of us in headquarters here in geneva but you get down to see these people in the conditions they're in and you think how can this possibly be the big request that the women were making of me was they wanted milk they hadn't had a food delivery since december they had no more rice no more maize and they were grinding up the root crops and green leaves and feeding them to the babies and then of course the children have diarrhea so i think but that's that's a very personal. description of it but it's but it is shocking that i can fly in from geneva in the way that i did and yet found find myself in the despairing humanitarian situations it's a very candid answer i appreciate as well julian triggs from the u.n. h.c.r. in geneva thank you thank you very much to the united states where a democratic congressman has released photos from inside a detention facility on the southern border they reveal crowded makeshift conditions as the long term sentence fill up the congressman described them as terrible for the children and released the images to raise awareness of the growing crisis well by the administration's been defending its handling of the situation and on sunday while the president acknowledged mourning to be done he also said migrants must apply for asylum from their own country. that's the migrants telling them to stay home to go from now why do you think you have to present them more work can be done a lot more we're in the process of your group making sure everyone is double what it was before when they did they place a very good number of all. china has held a closed door trial for a former canadian diplomat has been detained in the country for more than 2 years diplomats from canada the us in about 20 other countries gathered outside the court in beijing to show solidarity for michael coverage he's accused of espionage he was detained in 2018 soon after canada arrested a senior while way executive china's held a separate proceedings for another canadian facing similar charges both michael spied for and coverts trials have ended without a verdict despite. the international agreement to china has signed under the vienna convention that would allow. consular officers access to hearings for their citizens we are being denied that access we've made we've requested access to michael woolridge hearing repeatedly repeatedly but that access tonight. as you know. michael clover has been detained for more than 2 years now. he's been arbitrarily detained and now we see that the court process to itself is not transparent. well china has defended its handling of the covered case and accuses canada of meddling in its affairs she was released it was actually in canada has brought together some other countries diplomats in china and point fingers at china's handling of individual cases that is interference in china's judicial sovereignty we reject that and will by no means accept such interference michael covert and michael spade or are suspected of in danger in china's national security and china's judicial organs will handle the cases and guarantee their rights and interests more on the story now from katrina you in beijing. this is really the climax of what has been a long drawn out legal process michael coverage along with michael spade will they were both arrested in december 28000 and it took 18 months for them to be charged with espionage formally and now it's been more than $800.00 days that they've both been detained with very little access to the outside world and as we heard earlier canada is extremely critical of the way these cases are being handled by china in addition to what they say is a lack of transparency they've also raised questions about the amount of access both have had to chinese lawyers before the trial both respectively on friday and on monday today for michael crawford now of course this case has also attracted a lot of international attention for one the business community is really watching closely these cases sense chills down the spines of many who are involved in business and lived here in china as foreigners working here both corporate and they were well known in the ex-pat community and other governments of course have also been critical of these cases we had earlier today more than 20 diplomats from various countries including australia the u.k. the u.s. show up outside the court coverage was being trialled and they stood there in solidarity with him there u.s. president joe biden has also weighed in saying that the u.s. will do whatever it can to support canada and trying to have these men freed and turn biden said that these men should not be
