wounded when a gunman opened fire on washers and police it was arrested after being wounded. while i said has claimed responsibility for that attack at least nine people were killed as we mentioned. challenged ballasts reports. a progression of coffins inside the virgin mary church on the outskirts of cairo the family members of eight different victims brought together by gunmen killing in the name of i assume. this is the suspected attacker it's believed he's wearing a suicide vest first he shot at a christian owned shop before moving to cairo's coptic mum in a church he opened fire on civilians and police officers outside who witnesses people inside closed the door when they heard the shots. being. thank god they locked the doors there were hundreds in sight if getting closer during that time it could have been worse than did back in the road a mosque in china relatives piece together what had happened is they made it outside the hospital and. one woman was killed. when she tried to help the attacker thinking he had fallen over they say he saw a cross dangling from her neck and shot. she was asking him in the name of christ this something happened to you she was ready to give him love and tenderness and peace is this what they mean peace with gunfire. gunfire. as the ambulances left the funeral with their loved ones and size they were accompanied by armored vehicles and a sign of increased security for christians here it's the latest in a number of attacks on the christian minority in egypt which represents about ten percent of the population the problem is that there's no clear counterterrorism and counterinsurgency policies so for dealing with this threat for a while egypt has been discontinuing the same bomb business same mistakes egypt has been

support of the solving led coalition fighting for the rebels in yemen speaking to reporters in the pentagon matters said there would be more civilian deaths without u.s. involvement the comments follow u.n. condemnation of the coalition bombing campaign after more than one hundred civilians were killed by airstrikes within ten days. we have plenty more ahead on the news hour including a new legal setback for jake. as a. top court. we were forced to. close and perform. about sexual harassment in the workplace. and. hundreds of anti-government demonstrators protesting for the second day of protests broke out in the west and. the demonstrators are angry about the government's economic policy. and there have been reports of protests in other cities including the capital on the road. all economic indications in the country are good yes there is an increase in the prices of some products and the government is working on fixing the causes of the high prices some of the events that have taken place in recent days are said to have been because of the economy but there are other reasons the people behind what is taking place think they'll be able to harm the government but when social movements and protests start in the street those who have ignited them are not always able to control them now there is a professor of middle east politics at the university of denver and he explains why people are protesting. it's really actually the linking of the iranians regional foreign policy in syria in particular with the economic grievances that many people are feeling internally with respect to declining or lowering economic standards of living many iranians particularly those in the you know middle class and lower middle class the working class do not understand why billions of dollars i mean no one knows the exact figure because the details are not published but why iran has invested so heavily in regional foreign policy adventurism to the detriment of iran's own internal economic problems so i think that linkage has been made by the protesters it's one that's been on the agenda and it's a subject that really can't be internally discussed in a free and open debate within the islamic republic of iran because those aren't policy decisions are made at the office of the senior the airship primarily the supreme leader and there's no accountability for those decisions in terms of where the money's being spent so i think that it's a particular source of prevents and when we see those grievances aired on the streets of many cities in iran the hard line elements of the regime are going to probably blame the protests on foreign conspiracies the real question is what will the elected rowhani government do and say in the coming days and sponsor these protests particularly if they continue. to peru now where protesters have confronted police outside the hospital where former president alberto fujimori is being treated. they're angry about president hedrick public which adds he's controversial decision to pardon fujimori who serve nearly half of a twenty five year sentence for corruption and human rights qualms including murder since thursday thousands of peruvians have been marching to denounce the move and call for a new general elections. rebirth as a human rights activist and a professor at george mason university and she says for the mores pardon can still be challenged and there are precedents of similar cases. it is not the end of the story. yet and there are several different venues by which human rights activists are going to challenge the pardon one is in the domestic courts in peru and there are precedents a few years ago an associate of fiji mori actually a businessman the head of a large conglomerate media organization was hard ends he'd been convicted of corruption and he'd been pardoned based on humanitarian grounds and a few weeks later he was caught on camera in a country club looking quite healthy and the constitutional tribunal overturned his pardon. and so there is a precedent for that kind of thing if the pardon is found to be fraudulent lee granted then it can be overturned by peru's constitutional tribe you know the other venue of course is the international since the interim erica and system and why and why that is possible in this case is could you know where he was convicted for two for a series of human rights abuses to very important and emblematic cases the vireos out those massacre one thousand nine hundred one and the enforced disappearance of nine students and a professor from the land to the university in one thousand nine hundred two fold of those pastis received sentences from the inter merican court which found a peruvian state responsible and ordered the state to investigate process prosecute and punish those responsible and that gives the court the right to supervise the fulfillment of the terms of the sentence. now former football superstar george waya has officially been declared liberia's president elect after one in tuesday's runoff of more than sixty one percent of the vote or thousands of his supporters have been celebrating in the capital monrovia his opponent choice or conceded defeat on friday saying he wanted to avoid bloodshed whereas when mark the first democratic transfer of power in the west african nation in seventy three years. south africa's top court has ruled that parliament failed to hold president jacob zuma to account in a scandal over house improvements which cost millions of dollars last year the court decided that had violated the constitution when he benefited inappropriately from state funding for his and carla hall and that's one of a series of presidential scandals which have tarnished the reputation of the mole and african national congress the opposition has renewed its call for the president to be impeached tanya page has the latest from johannesburg. the constitutional court south africa's highest court has found that the national assembly that's parliament failed to take appropriate action against president jacob zuma and relation to gross overspending of taxpayers' dollars on his private home called income the constitutional court says the first thing that should happen is that the national assembly needs to come up with a comprehensive list of rules and regulations which perhaps could lead to the impeachment of president zuma they didn't go so far as to say that's what should happen because that would be in breach of the separation of powers the opposition parties who brought this legal action we're pleased with the outcome nonetheless the constitutional muster in time would be scrutinised would be brought before parliament to be accountable because his own body to come party has tried to hold you accountable and we can. the other day we need to be in parliament not less than it did to days before the state of the nation and as of twenty eight in their defense president zuma and the speaker of parliament both said it wasn't true that the national assembly had done nothing multiple votes of no confidence in president zuma have been held and they have all been defeated and that's what it comes down to it's a matter of numbers in parliament because impeaching a president is a parliamentary process so even when there are rules in place that could lead to impeaching a president ultimately that would require a two thirds majority and the reality is that the governing african national congress holds the majority and so be extremely unlikely that the numbers would be able to be gathered for an impeachment aid agencies have finished a series of accusations from the besieged damascus suburb of east and twenty nine critically ill people including children have been moved as part of a deal with the syrian government for the un says there are still more than four hundred urgent need of medical care they know how the reports from neighboring lebanon. and appeals from a grieving mother. she hopes that all the sick children in eastern guta will receive medical treatment so that their parents don't lose them. lost her daughter but tool was ten years old when she died her parents say her life could have been saved but they live in an area by syrian government forces where there is no proper medical care. a sickness with pain in her teeth nice and hot doctors said there was something wrong with her nervous system and antibiotics didn't help the medication didn't work and she passed away. it's too late for twenty nine critically ill patients are being given the chance at survival that was agreed after a deal between the syrian government and the armed group. that involved the rebels freeing prisoners in exchange eighteen of those transferred to hospitals in damascus where children. hundreds more are of treatment there is a severe shortage of medical supplies the medical facilities in the area have all but been destroyed by the siege meant just over one hundred doctors provide care for an estimated four hundred thousand people half of them are believed to be children and. the children are always the ones who are the most vulnerable and affected as a result of the siege there are many children who have cancer they can't be cured because there is no medicine to treat them there are diseases because of the pollution even the water is polluted there are many cases of severe malnutrition in the united nations says one in eight children is going hungry up from one in fifty in may he has been besieged since two thousand and thirteen but in recent months pro-government forces tightened the blockade closing smuggling routes and tunnels that were being used. humanitarian organizations have been pleading for months with the syrian government to allow the critically ill patients to leave aide workers are hoping that the evacuations will be the beginning of more to come they're also asking for safety guarantees patients are worried of arrest if they go to government controlled. territory. doesn't have much time she is four years old and her sickness requires treatment that is not available in eastern huta it's a difficult time for her mother in abdullah who was hoping that her daughter was on the evacuation list into her cell phone down but. my daughter has a kenyan throat cancer doctors told me she needs surgery to remove her throat because that she is too big and the cancer cells are spreading i hope someone helps me my child also needs chemotherapy and i can't afford it please whoever is hearing me now i ask for your help and is that already almost twenty patients among them children have died while waiting for evacuation centers that are beirut. now grace has been struggling to deal with high unemployment and a weak economy for years the country has also been the destination for many refugees arriving in search of a better life that's been a costly burden taken on by greece's government but now one point thanks and your vials could play a crucial role and filling the workforce reports from northern greece. language class for this group of refugees in northern greece jason from it live in syria has decided to seek asylum here they all need greek anyway because they'll be here for months or even years so slow is the bureaucracy. here jason said he wants to study and maybe become a hairdresser. but he's open to suggestions for work. across this country similar scenes are happening the rest of europe has decided the greece can cope more or less greece has got a big problem the economist a little hole more than forty percent youth unemployment and at the same time greece is having to deal with the brunt of the refugee influx and the european quota system for sharing them out has fallen apart completely so here's the big question if there's not enough jobs for greeks the more you expect refugees to do. in the absence of any other bright ideas some people here have decided to celebrate the new arrivals farmer demetrius makes some dried tomatoes and grows herb's but he has a problem his village like hundreds of others has shrunk by half since the economic crisis as the young people moved away their empty houses here waiting for families to move in to breathe new life into the community he'd love nothing more than refugees from rural syria to help him out you think you can help each other yes if they're if you just want to stay here we can do it many thinks look at that so the idea came from a local organization working with refugees it argues that greece's economic crisis could be partly solved by the refugee influx not cheap labor but co-operative farms giving the new arrivals an economic stake and encourage them to stay refugees that used to be in. their original country or they have experience in farming we think that they can also assist the locals and the locals going to then and in developing a future for both in the camps it's becoming clear what happens when refugees can't access the jobs market a groups are warning of a huge spike in drug abuse by refugees stuck for years in a shipping container cannabis is sold alongside fruit on the road side of the noses of the police of the camp male refugees selling their bodies has become common as well they are buying the drugs they are the. people using headline also. in their camp and they are just because they're plants and just because you don't have any hope. here these last life of. their life. they don't have any hope. many greeks here claim refugees get special treatment while they're left to suffer in poverty their life in the camps looks generous there are apparently no greeks to work the fields in these agricultural lands and grow the economy it's only one idea but maybe they're starting to realize you can make a virtue out of a crisis. in northern greece. where many refugees are also having to deal with issues surrounding their mental health research among those who made it to germany was as many as sixty percent had witnessed violence in their countries and of all those surveyed around half suffer from mental health problems including post-traumatic stress disorder and depression the refugee camps themselves have become dangerous aid agencies report there's a rising level of self harm and drug abuse or peter vent is the senior mental health officer with the u.n. refugee agency and he says this problem may seem overwhelming but there are solutions. there are many good examples that i know of mental health professionals who work with refugees but in general the whole mental health systems in europe are not well prepared because of issues related to language and culture so what i think needs to be done is much more training for doctors and psychologists in europe but also to see how we can use the potential of refugee stem cells to support each other that actually if you give refugees an opportunity to rebuild their lives they will take it so helping people help themselves should be the first thing and that's something that. mental health care systems in europe are not very much prepared to to it's too much clinic based while we can do much more with refugee communities. now conflicts are raging simultaneously in sudan and south sudan making life increasingly tough for refugees from both countries who have to share limited resources some have lost their lives and the violence ever morgan reports from counting itself that are out of four refugee camps of paper from its rule of america. this has been a frog nasser's home for more than six years their refugee from sudan fled her home and sought safety in neighboring south sudan she says she no longer feel safe after her brother was killed last year in fighting between refugees and there's also denise hosts. who lost her brother last year he was kidnapped and killed they brought back his body that night we were attacked inside that comes with guns we lost a lot of people during the fights not just my brother but children women were killed in this time. fighting broke out in blue nile state after the sudan people's liberation movement north rebelled against government leaders in khartoum the armed opposition group accuse the sudanese government of breaking the two thousand and five peace agreement it allowed blue man state to choose whether to be part of sudan or a newly independent south sudan. the conflict has resulted in more than two hundred fifty thousand refugees fleeing to south sudan more than half of them live in four camps here sudanese refugees started arriving here in my band since two thousand and eleven a few months after south sudan gained independence but since then the host country has been at civil war which is still happening that has created an economic and hunger crises all over it have had an impact on the refugees the war in south sudan which started in ten to fifteen also display started in east and resulted in more than half of the twelve million population peace in food insecurity south sudanese government leaders say tensions are being created because the refugees have freedom to move and reach limited resources in my van if you. feel better there are advantages and disadvantages of having them here the main problem is that the camps are not first that means there are a few g.'s can move around freely in countries with domestic use and that is having an impact. and with almost no chance of returning home to sudan soon the united nations high commission for refugees says they need to be protected they are here they have needs they have rights and these needs and rights have to be met and so that there has to be a very high level of cooperation between you and the south sudanese government to ensure that they are safe protected and and that their needs are met a friend has no plans to return to the word zone in sudan but she may have to do just that if there is a repeat of the violence between refugees and their star sudanese hosts people morgan al-jazeera south sudan. serbian alwaye officials have uncovered twenty five tons of highly toxic waste after a

receive proper burials now d.n.a. testing is helping some families come to terms with their loss as a name records. with bits of bone and a children's halloween t. shirt remnants of loved ones on earth from one of guatemala's mass graves. two hundred fifty thousand guatemalans died or disappeared during the country's thirty six year civil war thousands of the digitas farming families had been

just lying there. through d.n.a. testing families are now identifying their relatives burying them and visiting their graves during the war many farmers were forced into army operated villages it was a way to ensure they didn't join one of the guerrilla groups in the area they were promised food and medical care instead many died from malnutrition and treatable diseases that my audio says that when the majority of causes of death of the children was due to disease due to a lack of medical attention it was limited because of what was happening in the region as well as the measles outbreak in the early one nine hundred eighty s. . people here say they were treated like prisoners so. if somebody for example had to leave to visit a relative in the capital or another province they had to request it in writing sometimes well in advance for the army to grant authorization those who left and did not return at the stipulated time would get into trouble and many times that trouble meant. in recent years quantum olens have begun to address the crimes of war former military leader efren rios montt was convicted of genocide in two thousand and thirteen the decision was overturned on

upper house of parliament before it becomes law. now south korea has confirmed that it seized and inspected a hong kong they tested ship suspected of supplying oil to north korea last month but south korea's foreign ministry says it's an example of pyongyang using illegal networks to get around un sanctions blocking on oil imports u.s. president trump has accused china of violating u.n. sanctions and failing to stop on supplies to pyongyang but macbride has more from beijing. china will not be happy with this latest criticism from the president from coming in such a public stinging manner but it's true to say that china has become used to dealing with the united states in a different way over the past year and has been accustomed to president trump's tweets the ministry of foreign affairs regular press briefing friday in beijing there was no specific reference or reply to this latest attack but the spokes person was asked about the allegations concerning this hong kong registered vessel seized in south korea for allegedly dealing in illicit oil with north korea the ministry said that it has been investigated to the chinese customs have no record of this vessel visiting a chinese port since august although it has no records of it whether it be visited other ports as far as it knows the chinese government does not know of any illicit activity that this vessel has been involved in repeating that the chinese government is still very much committed to enforcing the u.n. sanctions whether china has known about any trades that might be taking place it's difficult to believe that any illegal activity or transfer of oil at sea could take place without china's knowledge and it would fit with the general narrative of china quietly supporting the north korean regime not necessarily out of any loyalty to an old ally but really as a pragmatic measure. shore up the regime as far as china is concerned it's a comparable blee live with a nuclear north korea not an ideal situation but for china the unacceptable situation is a collapsing regime that still has access to nuclear warheads that for china is the worst case scenario. now a viral video in south korea has prompted a national debate about the treatment of women in the workplace it's also highlighting harassment at after work gatherings at a time when many people are celebrating the end of the year with their colleagues kathy novak reports now from seoul. when these women became nurses this was not part of the job description video of them dancing at a hospital talent show was posted on social media prompting a national conversation about something not often openly discussed in south korea the treatment of women in the workplace these nurses didn't want their identities revealed fearing repercussions at work for the talent show we were forced to dance we had to wear indecent clothes and perform sixty dances on stage and we were embarrassed. she says hospital officials sat in the front row judging the performances and that refusing to participate wasn't an option unless she could find a colleague to take her place. in south korea because of the confusion tradition of respecting it's difficult to say no to superiors this type of power abuse has become normal. lawyer leony says sexual harassment is a problem for south koreans of all professions especially when junior employees are expected to drink with their bosses after hours to know that a year and a party is a common occasion for sexual harassment people expect women to pour drinks for men or for young and pretty women to sit next to older male bosses. drunk male bosses hug us and hold our hands during these company occasions but we can't say anything because they're our bosses in the most recent government survey the majority of those who say they experienced sexual harassment took no action among the reasons given were that they thought it would make no difference and that they would be disadvantaged at work. the government announced plans to impose harsher penalties for sexual harassment in november after a young employee at the country's biggest furniture company hun sen accused colleagues of raping and sexually assaulting her the employment and labor ministry found the company failed to investigate the claims and find about five thousand dollars. as for the talent show a hospital spokesperson said it is planning to reform the dress code and is considering getting rid of it completely kathy novak al jazeera saw. now to the third part of our series looking ahead to two

health concerns he is their presidential candidate has cancer now that mugabe is gone they say they are confident about mixture we are all. believe that from the next winnowing enemies of an

northern new york state people are being asked to look out for the homeless and elderly while president trump has been twittering about the freezing temperatures he wrote in the east it could be the coldest new year's eve on record perhaps we could use a little bit of that good old global warming that our country but not others was going to pay trillions of dollars to protect against and a lot. when you want to ask our valley person out as a climate physicist who was vice chair of the u.n. and to governmental panel on climate change and he says trump doesn't appear to understand the issue. the president you might have forgotten that it's winter at the moment in the northern hemisphere it's perfectly normal now it's very called the moment in the eastern part of north america because the jet stream is bringing is ringing very called from the arctic. and if the jet stream is doing that right now it's probably also because of global warming because the melting of the sea ice in the arctic is disrupting the position of the jet stream and the jet stream is bringing much more called air but. you can be sure that the rest of the word this is warming look at the map after all the year that's ending two thousand and seventeen is one of the warmest year of the last hundred fifty years at the global level so what's happening now in the u.s. is not relevant for the climate of the
