We are definitely seeing a military escalation, in general, but particularly from the Government Forces and their allies for the past three months or so. And just in the past two weeks, i would say its escalated even further with daily attacks and multiple attacks daily. Over and above what we were talking about this morning, we were hearing of more airstrikes last night and some early today, as well. Its ongoing, its relentless, and the people suffering most of all are not the fighters on either side. Its the civilians caught between them.

For now, that report is being given to the 15 member state of the Security Council. Al jazeera obtained a copy and james has been reading it. Whats in it . Well, this is the children in Armed Conflict report, always grim reading. This covers the events of 2018. In recent years, this has become a political hot potato. Countries do not want to be mentioned in this report as countries that are responsible for killing or injuring children. In recent years, a lot of the focus has been on israel and on saudi arabia. And i think when you look at those two countries in this report, you then have to question whether there has been political pressure behind the scenes because the report says that the highest number of palestinian children, 59 died in 2018, the highest for five years killed by israeli forces. And yet when you get to the end of the report, the really damning bit, the bit where theres a blacklist, you find the Israeli Military is not listed among all the other governments and groups responsible for killing and injuring children. When it comes to the situation of the Saudi Led Coalition in yemen, they are listed, but under a part b, annex b of the list, which says listed parties put in place measures aimed at improving the protection of children. This will be the third time that the Saudi Led Coalition has been put in this second list, this list that says they are killing children, but they are doing things trying not to kill children. You do wonder whether you can keep putting the Saudi Led Coalition in that list if they are still responsible for the deaths of children in yemen. For the secretarygeneral, mandated by the Security Council this isce this report, a difficult issue. And in the past, certainly saudi arabia threatened to pull funding from the United Nations. So once again, we have political controversy surrounding this very important list of children dying all over the world. Anchor james out of the u. N. , thank you.

But first, north koreas economy shrank as it was battered by sanctions of drought, the worst contraction in more than two decades according to figures compiled by south koreas central bank. They were meant to start north koreas program, but pyongyang tested a new missile, saying it was a warning to south korea. Provide the figures the starkest evidence yet as has sanctions against north korea are hurting it, economically. Last year, the economy contracted by 4. 1 . Thats on top of a 3. 5 contraction the year before at the height of the nuclear and missile testing crisis, when the tougher sanctions were introduced. Compare that with 2016, when the north korean economy grew nearly 4 , better than even south korea in the same year. Figures released earlier this month also show how sanctions have cut north koreas trade with its neighbors by nearly have, with a staggering 86 drop in exports. Especially affected has been its mining sector, with a complete ban on one of its biggest exports, coal. It shows to the extent which kim jongun to develop his countrys economy rather than the military is being frustrated. But state run media is reporting thursdays launch was overseen personally by kim, and the missiles were a new type of guided weapon, much harder for antimissile systems to detect and intercept. The north says they were a warning to the warmongers of south korea, but not to jeopardize the chance of a further summit with u. S. President donald trump. President trump they havent done nuclear testing. They really havent tested metals missiles other than slower ones, which is something that lots test. Reporter kim seems to be following the same strategy of using his countrys advances in military technology to build pressure for crippling sanctions to eventually be lifted. Rob mcbride, al jazeera, seoul. Anchor its workingclass people most affected by those sanctions. The burden of pain is very uneven. I suppose the first thing to say is the missile program, the weapons of mass destruction, the testing weve seen. Resources for that are fine. The elite in pyongyang, the capital, something of a this is a very strange disconnect and a puzzle for us to analyze. You cant see the hurting there, so the burden is being born in the countryside by ordinary people. Workers, minors, are suffering a lot. And farmers. The regime doesnt care much about them. We do know how they are hurting. The idea that sanctions will bring north korea to the conference table, i think, is sadly untrue. If they are talking, its for other reasons. So a mixed picture, but definitely suffering. Anchor seven days of mourning for its late resident, desolate president , who president , who died late thursday.

And i think its going to be a great thing for guatemala. They dont want these problems either. So we were able to get these done and we got it done fairly quickly. I would say that guatemala is definitely clear on the responsibility that it has. We are clear that we have to make changes. And the way to do it is working together with our best ally. Thats what were showing here today, and we are definitely committed to improving what we have. Anchor al jazeera is reporter is live covering this. What do we think this agreement is actually going to achieve . Reporter its really unclear. In the end, it might just boil down to a photo op to a president who has been tough on this issue. What he says they signed is a safe third country. That would mean if anybody from el salvador or honduras traveled through guatemala inserts for asylum in the United States, they would first have to apply for asylum in guatemala. Only if they were denied could they apply for asylum in the United States. Not clear how this would play out, this was supposed to be signed before and the Constitutional Court in guatemala said the president of guatemala couldnt sign it. The secretary from guatemala in the Oval Office Said that was really procedural and they cleared that up. But its not clear the guatemalan president and his representatives have the authority to actually sign this measure. For the president , hes allowed to say look, its a victory.

Meanwhile, trump has spoken with the Prime Minister rutte boris johnson, and said the two are working on a post brexit trade agreement. They meet at the summit next month.

The Worlds Largest rain forest is being destroyed at a pace from which it may never recover. 1,345 square kilometers of rain forest have been cleared so far this month, mostly for farmland. That is nearly the size of london. A third of all pristine rain forests have been cut down or burned. That includes places where tribes of people have cared for the land for centuries. The elephant could now become a savanna. Brazils president has moved fast to dismantle environmental regulation, cutting budgets and giving more power to minors. All this can affect the trade deal with the European Union. Its not yet been ratified and commits both sides to slowing deforestation. Coordinator for an environment or social Justice Organization said some positive steps are being taken to protect the amazon. This week on tuesday, the eu published an action plan, opening the door to regulatory measures that would set standards on eu imports to be sure they are not contributing to forest decoration. If the eu is not going to impose its standards, but the eu has to respond to the increasing concern among the impact their consumption is having on forests and the people that depend on those forests. With this communication, with this action plan, it shows the eu is, for the first time, willing to bring in new options that can be regulatory that would ensure products that are being placed on the eu market from countries such as brazil would not be linked to human rights abuses or deforestation. Smashedthe hot air that temperature records in europe appears to be moving toward greenland, where it could cause record levels of melting. Covers 80 ce sheet of the territory and is the second largest in the world. But its been losing ice at an accelerating pace since the turn of the century, four times the rate of 2003. There are fears this heat could break that record. The extent of the mall in june has been four times the average between 1981 and 2010. This month alone, greenland has lost 160 billion tons of ice through surface melting, roughly 64 million olympicsized swimming pools. Why should we worry . The total volume of the ice sheet is 2. 9 million kilometers. If all of that eventually melts, it will raise global sea levels by seven meters, devastating most of the worlds coastal cities. For more on this, im joined by hannah cloak, a natural hazard researcher. Thanks for being with us. Perhaps you can start by explaining what we mean by surfacemount. Is that the only way surfacemount. Is that the only way greenland loses its ice . It comes from hot air in the atmosphere. Were getting a lot lost that way. Its very concerning the amount were talking about. Anchor how do we know Climate Change is at least partly responsible for whats happening in greenland . So, the hot temperatures weve seen in europe, there are very hot indeed, very worrying, we can relate this directly to Climate Change because heat waves are really easy to link because its about temperature. Its about heat in the atmosphere. And its about the mean temperature. [inaudible] very, very high temperatures. Thats very easy to link. Where is like flood or windstorms are not as easy to relate because they are more come look at it. Anchor is greenlands ice sheet actually under threat . Is it possible to have any estimate of how long it actually has . Theres lots of things we dont know about the melting. Its very concerning, the rate of melting. When you see this year after year, we really do need to start to worry about whats happening. And because the melting can influence so many things around our planet, it can raise sea levels and the connections we get across the planet and both the atmosphere and also the ocean. I think we need to be concerned. Anchor and are we expecting is there a prediction the heat waves weve been seeing there will be more of those, which can move further north and affect greenland . Without a doubt, were seeing more heat waves now. And we know that our climate is going to get warmer, so were expecting more prolonged heat waves, more extreme heat waves in the future. Many of them may travel north. We might get more of this melting again. Anchor so much to talk about now, and it is a hot topic, excuse the pun, but what more should we be doing to stop the changes were seeing happening . Or is it a slow process . Theres definitely some things we cant stop now. Were on a trajectory thats very worrying. We will see more heat waves. But theres definitely things we can do now. We can think about stopping omissions. We can think about protecting our rain forests, which is a really important part of the planet, keeping rain forests stable. There are practical things we can do with the right political will. Anchor you just mentioned the rain forest. The Previous Report we were talking about was the fact deforestation is happening at an immense scale, particularly in brazil, in the amazon forest. How concerned are you about that . Extremely concerned. The rate is so fast that i dont think we can quite go back from that. There is nothing really we can do to repair it in the same amount of time that were losing it. Its extremely concerning. Anchor really good to get your thoughts. Thanks so much for joining us.

Attack came amid continuing efforts from nigeria as they stepped up their approaches against boko haram, especially those affiliated with ice. Were seeing such daring attacks becoming so rare over the past six months or so across the northeast of nigeria. However, boko haram has never completely disappeared. They have continued their operations of abductions, but abductions also have been the tool of trade of boko haram for a long time, long before they were taken from the school in 2014. Girls were taken from several schools in towns and cities across the state. Boko haram is still active in parts of northeastern nigeria. Despite claims by the presidency that they have been defeated. And we will expect to see more of such desperate attacks by boko haram in the coming months or so as the military stepped up operations against it. One thing that came out of the attack on thursday night was that they rated the camp and took away food items meant for displaced persons, which signifies that the operations to curtail supply of food items and other logistics to boko haram may be working, forcing them to take such daring actions of reading places that are considered too dangerous for them for food and other materials.

While all agree this is becoming an escalating crisis for ordinary americans, one that often comes down to lifeanddeath, the difference is how to resolve it.
