Acknowledges its Security Forces killed people it called rioters during recent protests. And disabled and a country at war will look at the plight of yemens most vulnerable people. With the sport as book says and the ruiz jr and Anthony Joshua get ready for a heavyweight rematch in riyadh. Now its a gathering to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the welds biggest military alliance but even before the nato summit gets underway in london divisions are strongly on show among members from both sides of the atlantic president has his house at french president. He and nato secretary general Ian Stoltenberg both reacted shoppy to my recent description of nato as quote brain dead. 1st they got to be here for the United States because the United States is. In the mountains and i heard the president would grow very brave think its very insulting to a lot of different. Men to govern really need to. Be true is not. Just to the northeast or. The nuns. To the horrendous or the 1st thing you know its to you know the cause of the cold you know. Come along more of this thing more. Devoted to terrorism and to elliot techies president wretch uptight about oh i dont want to he will oppose natures defense plans for baltic countries and poland hes seeking the blocs unconditional support for his fight against the mainly kurdish y p g 5 as in within syria the techie regards as terrorists so to. Kind of nato needs to act in a proactive manner against 3 its proposed by the terrorist organizations its inevitable that nato is in need of readjusting itself against todays terrorist threats we expect our allies to display strong cooperation with us against the threats we have facing such a. Correspondence and how is life for us in london china lets start with president obamas remarks because i believe the nature chief has had more to say now in response. Yes hes made comments you know look lets put comments in some sort of perspective mr odwyer knows that he simply doesnt have the full some support of nato in his fight against the Kurdish Forces in Northern Syria who he sees as terrorist forces most other nato members see is until very recently at least u. S. Allies and allies in the fight against eisel by laying down the gauntlet as he did mr erdogan as you heard him there when he left istanbul saying if you dont come on sides behind me and rake knows the kurds as terrorists i wont back your plans to bolster defenses for the baltics against russia when hes delivered nato with a real problem over a key piece of policy and planning for them and hes also exposed a deep rift a rift with many nato members france notably who are deeply opposed to what donald trump did you not pulling u. S. Forces out of the north of syria allowing Turkish Forces in is also an issue over turkey buying Russian Air Defense equipment the s 400. 00 system effectively cutting it out of joint nato air defenses and of course all of this plays into the current divisions within nato donald trump was asked whether he thought turkey could go on being an integral member of the alliance he said well look thats for the alliance to decide ive always liked turkey ive always liked erdogan he made the s 400. 00 issue at the obama doorstep as a legacy issue for failing to provide turkey with Patriot Missile systems and in a sign that there really is in all of this no quick fix Jens Stoltenberg made some comments a short while ago take a listen. Do you think by tomorrow when the declaration of some kind you will have words to resolve this growing. I will promised on but what i can say is that we are working on that. We all need to have constant pace discussing instead official bounds for. A thing on or by sync on this but this also i think doesnt have a plan for defendable to come. And you know also listening to those comments from donald trump early i didnt really expect him to come out quite so strongly against france. Im sure people like stoltenberg hope he wouldnt but it was almost inevitable that he would because of course emanuel macron about a month ago gave an interview in which he described nato is being on the verge of brain death because of its inability to cooperate and coordinate among its members in something as important even as syria and of course that was a direct attack from unilateralism over syria. And so you know trump was bound to wait in early one had already made pretty stark comments in response and donald trump a little earlier on said look you know emanuel i like Emanuel Emanuel tend sometimes to do things that are not in the best interests of his country he called the comments insulting nasty he said they come at a particularly dangerous time france he said was doing very badly economically he could see mr macron potentially pulling france out of the Nato Alliance at a time he said where nobody needs nato more than france he didnt substantiate or explain those comments the pair will be meeting shortly face to face we think here at the u. S. Ambassadors residence to be a press conference afterwards and well be able to find out then how things went and we are watching that very closely and in china help for us in london watching developments thanks to china well lets have this moment to pick us all apart with aljazeera senior political analyst now and bashar hes in paris by tomorrow and we were talking about this earlier as well that going into this summit with a french president who is calling it a brain dead a turkish leader whos now being accused of back mailing his allies and also a u. S. President who then keeps accusing his allies of not paying their fair share when it comes to military spending so is there actually a future of the nato here. I believe there is and i believe thats why each war each and every one of them is basically trying to pull nato their way thats how much weight they give to nato because each and every one knows that its very difficult for them on their own to speak of Global Security of his of a russian china without working together when President Trump talks about burden sharing via the way the same burden sharing that president obama spoke about before what he means when he talks about the budget announce and a lot of people thinks he just a part of the misunderstands how we need to functions but what he actually means is that nato members should buy american weapons is that nettle members should be contributing to American MilitaryIndustrial Complex that its not fair that the u. S. Has 6700000000000. 00 military budget and the United States and the and European Countries have less than 2 percent of the g. D. P. And they are not buying enough american weapons for the tent to present i think this is new for nato for the other nato member to see a pro active turkish leader who is ready and who once demands that turkey be treated to a par with its bigger nato members just like turkey does not ask or puts condition on france how it acts in mali he doesnt expect or accept that that the french put conditions on how he deals with libya let alone his neighboring syria and i think the same thing goes for the french i think the president wants more weight and he doesnt want the turks and the americans to be acting on their own the he wants them to consult with the more important military power in europe france when they act as they did for example on the question of syria so each and every one of the parties is trying to weigh in and trying to. Following the nato mission on structure in a way that suits their interest and with their lives realism as as you as one can imagine let me ask you a little more about well the tensions with iran and several different members of nato could those tensions derail the summit because turkey has veto rights or is there a way to try to find some middle ground here no absolutely theyre going to have to find a middle ground and thats why for example one could call it blackmailing or one could call in that ultimatum but be that as it may take you say look you want my approval. For what you want to do in poland well you dont need to approve what im doing in syria because ive already have the United States on my side and thats the more important partner in nato so thats our as i said thats thats whats new in this whole thing is that what were seeing here is this new turkish. Wall that demands to be treated the far and that demands as the 2nd Largest Force in need to be treated with with respect and hence this is a new thing on the scene in europe now while im never notified the relationship is the right along with iraq too i do want to ask you also about the format of this meeting im sorry they have been some changes so this isnt actually a fully fledged summit so instead of 2 full days of meetings as usual theyll be just 13 hour session on wednesday morning i believe what does that tell us about just how much time these leaders want to spend together at the moment. To be honest this is disastrous for their branding of the greatest alliance and modern times the fact that its the 70th anniversary and they wont call it a summit and they wont come with a final communique that is clear about nato mission that does not bode well for natos membership at this point in time that does not mean that we are going to bury nato tomorrow what it means is that nato is in crisis and to be honest nato has been in crisis since 1089. 00 since 1901 since the fall of the soviet union and the dismemberment of the warsaw pact in the east nato has been searching for a mission is it russia well germany and france do not think so even present problems not i think so even if the american establishment does think that russia is the next big thing others think china but if its china its going to have to change the entire nettle posture visagie china is it the war on terror or if its the war on terror the new were no longer talking about a conventional military alliance then were talking a more about Counter Terror intelligence. And the likes. So will they actually restructure nato in a way would it be able to fight these little fights cyber wars for example the ones theyve been facing against russia that requires an entire new vision and entire new planning and thats why once again but as the mccomb was not wrong he might have. Chose his words to say bring that but certainly Nato Alliance is lost in terms of its rays on death the reason for its existence today 70 years after it was formed and certainly after 70 years of or at least more like a 3040 years of confronting the soviet union its been now for 30 years looking for a mission of sort not to defend the west as a whole with turkey that of course you know thats their right but how will they do it and against whom and will they be contributing to that kind of structure that is the question thats facing them it doesnt seem theyre going to answer those important question today or tomorrow clearly a lot to hammer out them on bashar asking a political analyst speaking to us from paris thank you alan. Now on to other news and 5 people including a Police Officer have been killed and the latest anti un protests in eastern democratic republic of congo at least 7 people are also recovering in hospital after gunfire was heard throughout the city of beni on monday the situation remains tense Security Forces say they were forced to fire on protesters who were making their way towards a u.

Iranian state television has acknowledged for the 1st time that people it describes as rioters were shot and killed during recent protests thousands of people joined demonstrations angry over an increase in petrol prices which is that by the government human Rights Groups say as many as 200 people were killed but irans government has rejected that figure putting the death toll at just 13 as a bike has more on terror on sick knowledge meant that Security Forces actually shot protesters. The iranian official figure has pretty much remain the same but this is the 1st acknowledgement by the iranians that Security Forces killed protesters now this was on state media it was a lengthy report around 7 minutes long and it was very much the iranian governments version of events and the defense of the Security Forces the report acknowledged that there were demonstrations across the country. Shiraz and even here in iran but also categorized those that were killed it called some of them cogs and rioters on bridge knives and guns that attacked military centers said that some were Peaceful Protesters others were passes by and some Security Forces and they didnt say how those passes by and civilians those Peaceful Protesters were killed although the spokesman for the judiciary this morning has said that it was suspicious and those bullets that killed those people werent from the scripture forces but they also said that there were People Killed in the south western city of masha had read there is an arab population now the report called them separatists said that they were with guns and that they fired and Security Services and the Security Services were forced to fire back and defend themselves now very much this report that was carried on state media is saying that the Security Forces intervened used force to protect lives they say that writers and thugs were attempting to set fire to petrochemical plants that could have risked many lives and the report also carried interviews with what they say were people within the neighborhood who said that look were grateful for the Security Services intervening because many life schools have been at risk. Now a large fire at a factory in the sudanese capital has killed at least 15 people and injured dozens more that broke out after an explosion at a ton a factory in plant in moscow 2 cars that were parks near the fire near the factory also caught fire but its not yet clear what caused the explosion Amnesty International says more than 4000000 People Living with disabilities in yemen lack access to basic care the Rights Group Says disabled people are most at risk because of the war between who the rebels and the un recognized government which is backed by a saudi u. A. E. Coalition. Reports. 5 years of fighting in yemen has killed at least 10000 people strikes and artillery attacks have left many move with life changing injuries 15 year old that was hit by a bullet man monday one out of 10 minutes and how can i go to school when the reason support for me to be able to do that to learn since i have been injured i cant go anywhere. Amnesty International Says 8 out of 10 yemenis need age people with disabilities often face challenges accessing health care and education parents say their children face particular challenges in camps the displaced people in malawi saw her have father ok i need help with his clothes i need to make socks to cover his feet in the cold anything would be good but the most important thing is a wheelchair to move him around. 18 year old make dad has had limited mobility in his legs since he was 2 he struggles to cope in a camp thats not designed to accommodate disabled people. I crawled to the toilet in the toilet people urine it on the ground i want to toilet for myself but i can access. As the war continues so does the misery the United Nations has described it as the worst humanitarian crisis in the world make dads experiences shared by thousands of yemenis like him after years of conflict all they want is for the suffering to end Victoria Gate and be. Highlights peter ryan raga whos a senior crisis advisor as Amnesty International one of the authors of this report as we were just hearing there from victoria the un has already called this the worlds worst humanitarian crisis in your mind one of the greatest needs at the moment when it comes to people with disabilities. People with disabilities have been recognized among the most marginalized groups and at the same time the most at risk groups in situations of conflict and humanitarian crises and despite growing calls to ensure their inclusion and humanitarian response or documentation on the ground in yemen or at least in the 3 southern governor its that we visited indicates that there are still significant gaps in the humanitarian response that people with disabilities continue to be left behind and face challenges in accessing equal rights when it comes to Health Education jobs and Living Conditions in camps for displaced people and right how are they coping within the conflict scenario itself because the country is still at war and beyond accessing facilities and basic services these are also people who are being displaced having to flee and i imagine travel some distance as it very short notice. Absolutely people with disabilities do face significant challenges or compounded challenges in trying to feed violence and living in displacement the vast majority of the people we spoke to who are with disabilities and their family said that they. Feel without assistive devices people with limited mobility living without wheelchairs without crutches these are important and crucial items that they need to help them in these situations they have to often leave all of a sudden without because of the lack of an advance warning by parties to the conflict at times in certain cases people were left behind people disabilities were left behind because they were separated from their families in the chaos. Of feeding and escaping the certain cases the journey was too difficult for a person with a difficult a disability to undertake so they had to be left behind and separated from their primary support system and their families and not just that when they arrive at the camps the conditions are less than ideal they face an equal access to basic Sanitation Services and problems in accessing aid because its not delivered to their door which obviously creates a problem for people with limited mobility and what we want to clarify here is that an accessible extreme in a camp for example is not an add on is model luxury item these are integrity to fulfilling the rights of people with disabilities the rights of privacy sanitation and their inherent dignity rai was saying some of the really awful conditions in camps there in victorias report and you were in some of these camps interviewing people whats the psychosocial aspects of this that how are people actually getting by day to day how they how is their Mental Health. Writes of course the war in yemen has caused a Mental Health crisis really there are significant concerns about they stand trauma and the impact on adults and Significant Impact on children and adults in yemen would have lived through more that you know more than a dozen conflicts in their lifetime and all of that at a time when there is very few. You know a limited number of trained psychologist and psychiatrist in the country the humanitarian organizations are also struggling to ensure that you know theres enough Psychosocial Support be it in the camps or outside the camps all of these are items that must be factored in planning the humanitarian response at the outset and donor countries average sponsibility to ensure that this kind of Psychosocial Support is funded and supported. Have there from Amnesty International one of the authors of that report thank you for joining us on aljazeera now a typhoon has struck the philippines forcing nearly a quarter of a 1000000 people from their homes typhoon comrie has ripped roofs from buildings knocked out power and halted hundreds of flights its the 20th storm to hit the philippines this year our correspondents are undergoing reports from alabama province in the central philippines.

She has no choice now but to start all over again jim duggan Al Jazeera Al by central philippines. And jenny is here to tell us whats forecast next for the. Yen assault it is a very powerful some of course is in the evidence there and times the amount of rain that came down as well of course as strong winds just look at this 256. 00 millimeters in just 24 hours 202 it gives you an idea really why theres been so much damage with the storm surge with the winds and the calls with the flooding but this whole system is continuing to move west into the South China Sea pulling away from the philippines all the time now the latest information the joint Typhoon Warning Center has still got this as a very powerful typhoon winds at about 160 kilometers an hour but as it continues to push west it will also continue to weaken but even as we head through wednesday into thursday the rains will continue to impact much of the new all that and central philippines and even by thursday it will still be a Tropical Storm with winds at about 90 kilometers an hour so still of course these rain totals will continue to add up but after that it does look as if this storm system will begin to fall apart but that is a couple of days away now elsewhere deadly floods as well of course into Southern India tamil nadu in particular this is also another possible sign that again the joint Typhoon Warning Center watching closely that is pulling away from shore but in chennai you can see in tamil nadu some very heavy rain it has been relentless really day off today for the last 10 days and so again this is why weve had such widespread flooding is some good news there here as we go through wednesday weve got much clearer skies through much of Southern India we will they see more rain across sri lanka not only wednesday but also thursday so all the improving picture in Southern India we could have some flooding across into sri lanka.

Tariffs that would be imposed in retaliation for frances Digital Services tax which will affect tech giants around the world but of course namely in the United StatesAmazon Google facebook those Companies Say that france is Digital Services tax is simply unfair and it discriminates unfairly against them well what u.

S. Trade official say that theyre looking at about 2400000000. 00 worth of french products that could face a terrace of up to 100 percent on that as we also saw the strain that the u. S. France relationship is under this morning in trumps comments about lachlan so this presumably is just going to ramp up the tension. Theres already a strained relationship between the United States and france and this only makes it worse it will be interesting to see how that meeting goes between the french president and the u. S. Presence that will take place shortly in london during that nato summit i cant imagine of the french presence about him are going to be very pleased with Donald Trumps comments and with these threats to impose these terrorist particularly pick holes it was just back in august their daughter was here in france at the g. 7 summit and agreed with a man or macro to come to a compromise and therefore not impose tariffs in retaliation of this Digital Services tax well it looks as if the u. S. President is going back on that promise that certainly will not make him out or might call happy at all and weve also heard from the European Union because of course theyre very worried about this and they say that they will have a coordinated response to the u. S.

We have made it very clear that there is a problem this is not just between the Prime Minister and the maltese people this is also between malta and European Union. Cooperation within the European Union is based on trust and i think it is very evident to everybody that that trust has been very seriously damaged i also think its a matter of political judgment and i think everybody recognizes including the Prime Minister himself studies made some serious errors of judgment. And i would say that you know staying on longer than necessary is also a judgment error. Well finlands Prime Minister resigned on tuesday after a Coalition Partner withdrew its support from his 5 Party Cabinet and he has faced fierce criticism and allegations of lying over how he dealt with a postal strike industrial action spread to finance National Airline and other companies before being settled last week.

T. B. Nijhum is accused of illegally receiving about 10000000. 00 when he was in office hes pleaded not guilty to all the charges which include Money Laundering and abuse of power now Scientists Say they are becoming more alarmed about just how fast the worlds 2nd largest ice sheet is melting research is from the university of cambridge in the u. K. Say lakes on the tops on the top of green and store glass are draining through into the ocean through holes in the ice the water under the ice the nifty the grassy area causing it to move and melt even faster we can see big changes in the Greenland Ice sheet. Having no effect on Sea Level Rise just 25 years ago and now its a roughly a 3rd of all Sea Level Rise on the planet its from greenland alone. And so theres a very significant increase and this is an increase thats ongoing and we think its likely to continue so it is clearly an adverse effect. And Climate Change is causing the expansion of us held as it in west africa locals have been planting a vast one of trains in a bid to save their land 3 years ago al jazeera visited the socalled great green wall. To see if the initiative is actually working the fight against Climate Change starts here on the edges of the desert villages. Or planting trees they want to save their homes and farmland from the expanding desert. For this forest ranger theres a sense of looming catastrophe. So we are in a situation of grave danger if we dont plant trees we wont get the range they need to cultivate it will reduce rains have we need water to feed animals and grow food otherwise people will move. And they have already started across the cattle herders are on the move there mainly from the ethnic group and are looking for a more temperate climate to feed their animals. Thats like the conflict thats fueled by armed groups such as. Thousands of people have been killed in the sahara in the fighting in the past year alone but not in senegal he believes thats because of this Tree Planting project in 2007 senegal was among 11 african countries that pledged to plant trees and what they called a great green wall from the east to the west of the continent but 10 years on most of the countries involved have dropped out because many of the trees have been killed by drought termites and increasingly inhospitable climate temperatures are rising in rainfall dropping experts say that if all the trees that were planted for the last 40 years had survived then this would look like the amazon forest well instead it looks more like this. The aim of the program is no longer to build the great green wall because the desert is moving forward but rather to find a solution so that the communities here can adapt to the changing climate.
