do stress hormones can relax us in the future the time may come when doctors prescribe the forest and the state of medicine we will maintain the finest fighting force the world has ever known united states army was so reliant on the private sector i would call it a dependency we have a mismatch between the way we on the madge and work to be and the reality of the twenty first century enough to get here in a bagel for you and i would tool for you how many of the persons that you're sending out you should be child soldiers and like i said i think that child soldiers reloaded at this time. this is al-jazeera.

hello everyone on philosophical and a welcome to this news hour live from london coming up in the next sixty minutes. agrees to take back thousands of refugees who fled to bangladesh but many are frightened to return. out to the asylum seekers who had refused to leave the former australian one prison camp on minus sign and. zimbabwe's stock market has lost six billion dollars in a week can the new president rescue a league economy. i'm far as smile be here with all the day's sport including the first ashes test match between australia and england is evenly poised at the end of day one.

man morrow and bangladesh have signed a deal for the repository of refugees bangladesh said it will begin within two months but it's not clear how many refugees would be allowed to return home since august more than six hundred thousand reckoned to have fled a military crackdown and me and mall many are concerned about how this deal will now affect them as it was called high live reports from the angle. after days of negotiating bangladesh's foreign minister abdul hassan mahmud ali and myanmar leader on song suchi reach an agreement on a repatriation plan for the ranger who fled rakhine state over the last three months the memo of understanding was signed in a foreign minister level working group created as the leaders reached agreement some of the hundreds of thousands of or hindu refugees who fled the violence spoke of their concern about how the repatriation will work. i don't think we did they discriminate against us because we are muslim and rango if they accept us as

running is and give us full citizenship and allow us to live in peace and harmony then we will consider returning i don't listen to what we have really suffered they have committed so many atrocities against us killed many of my family members been to hymes and taken our land if they give us equal rights citizenship and security then we will consider going back added pressure on myanmar to move forward with the ranger crisis coming from washington a week after his visit to the country u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson called the army crackdown in rakhine ethnic cleansing that's the first time the troubled ministration has used that description in his first visit to the capital neighbored or last week to listen call the events in rakhine as just horrific he also said an impartial independent investigation is needed. russia's ambassador to me on maher says the ethnic cleansing label is unhelpful and an independent investigation is not acceptable for me. so many and gone agree but oh maybe going on you when you know in my opinion the statement by

the u.s. secretary of state is one sided he's meddling in our country's affairs. even though a repatriation agreement has been reached it's not clear how quickly the refugees were turned to myanmar not to mention of they'll be going back to the villages they were a victim from or even if many villages which were left in flames still exist it's got harder al jazeera young gone with me on the sea i was the head of refugee on my current rights amnesty international. thanks so much for coming in. are you positive about this do you think it's a good idea that the rangers should be offered the chance to go home would you believe the something more sinister with this i think absolutely have the right to return it's their absolute human rights but we think this entire agreement is extremely premature you have to bear in mind that a hundreds of people are still arriving in an almost daily basis to buy a new dish fleeing persecution we would welcome a reproach ration agreement but the timing has to be right and it has to be international standards so it couldn't just be me i'm our military to help you know

. returning have access to where they lived before if you need an outside agency is that what you say absolutely i mean his history is showing us that the international community and particularly united see are the u.n. refugee agency should be involved in what should be a tripartite agreement they're here themselves need to be involved in deciding what they want to do that would be an ideal scenario the basic principles are there any return should be voluntary they should be assisted and they should be monitored and any agreement should allow for the fact that people who still wish to flee to bangladesh should still be able to do so even if it and the people who are in bind bush are allowed to stay there if they want to for the range of course many of them do cool rockline state their home but how many do you think really actually do want to return bearing in mind that when they get back they may find that what was there for them their houses their land except for it no longer exists well i was in counsel's bazaar last month i spoke to lots of refugees say their first wish is

that they do want to go home but they're very clear they want to go home under certain conditions they want safety they want security and as far as we're concerned there is a system of apartheid in myanmar and that entice system would need to be dismantled for the conditions to be conducive for a general and sustainable return to the part of that would be that if they did return that would be full unfettered humanitarian act. states that we can the international community can support any kind of return process with infrastructure development reconstruction of housing and for their ngo to have access to all of their rights that the bangladeshis entered into this agreement i guess one can understand the one hand bangladesh is been inundated with what will been six hundred thousand written directly days since august you know they have been struggling to look after these people even with the help of the international agencies like the u.n. like aid agencies they obviously have a desire for the region just to be able to return home to lead bangladesh but i

think bangladesh has entered into this unwisely without involving any of those outside agencies i think it's very understandable that bangladesh would want the refugees to return as soon as possible you have six hundred twenty thousand people who've arrived just since august but in addition to approximately four hundred thousand refugees who are already there in previous ways of displacement so are two million most of whom are in cox's bazaar district of bangladesh already one of the poorest districts of the country this is really a situation where the international community need to step up they need support by a dash both on supporting the raising the refugees inside bangladesh bangladesh needs to recognize them as refugees give them legal status in the country but also other countries need to step up and host and share the burden and this is really a time for responsibility sharing to be put into action not just words we are working on a global compact around refugees this situation is a perfect opportunity for the international community to show boating on his thing

on financing and on resettlement because the reality is all of those six hundred thousand refugees there are going to be many who simply do not want to return and they need to be found somewhere to live it's not just going to go away because this deal has been made yes absolutely they'll be there it's been raining refugees in bangladesh already for decades a general solution needs to be found for them either in bangladesh or in a third country so i mohamad appreciate you coming in to tell us about this thank you. now police in papa new guinea have raided a former australian run prison camp on minus island and forcibly removed about sixteen. they've since he was closed three weeks ago and power and water supplies were cut but more the four hundred refugees have refused to leave and have continued protesting inside i was there is under thomas has more now from an assignment. the police came in early in the morning more than three weeks after the

former australian run prison and its power and water supply cut off refugees who are refusing to leave say they were peacefully resisting but the police hit them with sticks and stones after twenty three days surviving on rain water and small amounts of smuggled in food the refugees weakened by hunger say that at least two men collapsed or were knocked unconscious in the raid police seized mobile phones to stop the refugees posting more videos and photos the flow of information became a trickle one refugee managed to speak to al-jazeera before his boat was confiscated. immigration. court.

gratian. about sixty refugees were loaded onto buses and taken away al-jazeera filmed them as they sped along the road into town refugees shouted help to us from an open window. a delegation from international humanitarian organizations who are visiting man a silent were promised access to see conditions in the former prison on thursday following the raid they were told their visit was off. there is the thing to close and hear in my leader of civil society kind of thing getting in and from a democratic nation under the rule of law who for thirty years has gone to lots of disasters and humanitarian situations and i'm not allowed to visit we were told to though there was no way we'd be allowed past the checkpoint on the way to the prison. the men taken out brought here to lauren the main town on the island they

knew accommodation is near and australia's government says it's ready for them and they should have moved in weeks ago but i've seen some of the accommodation and the still heavy machinery working on it and we tried to film a new home from a nearby road so private security contracts stopped us this is the accommodation of the refugees are moving to australia the government says it's ready to go. but is that because there are trucks there it's clearly still being worked on but the state of the new camp isn't the major issue for the refugees i want to protest our resistance is. the main reason is because. we want our freedom we didn't come from. they fear being dumped and what they see is merely an alternative to jail still on a remote island and the australian government takes no responsibility for it at all

andrew thomas al jazeera on matter side and when you get. the glory as a professor of youth mental health at the university of melbourne he says the refugees on minus island are getting access to the psychological treatment. these men are chronically suicidal they are extremely demoralized after four years of incarceration with no real hope about their future and even other engineer refugees there's really no clear immediate plan for resettlement for them so in those situations then with the withdrawal of venture presence medical care and supervision there's a very significant risk of suicides occurring and that's one of the concerns that we have now are strained medical association the president of the association dr michael gallon has made a bid to. urge the minister peter dutton to allow the strong medical association to send expert medical team over to assess the health

needs including mental health needs of these men or celebs on this news hour a new development in the search for the missing argentinian submarine. the disease that's been controlled by vaccination for a hundred years but which now threatens to infect. plus. the squad preparing for a game against england here in london. have been declared bankrupt but there's more to the story the not. fussed about ways former president robert mugabe has reportedly been granted immunity from prosecution under a deal brokered as part of his resignation security and political sources have told al jazeera the agreement guarantees his safety in zimbabwe i mean is he going to go into exile the sources say mcgarvie expressed

a wish to die in his home country let's take you live now to harare and speak to al-jazeera correspondent andrew symonds so under how much of a surprise is it that the gobby may have been able to secure diplomatic immunity. well not of massive surprise really there was a lot of speculation heading in that direction the deal was sealed but the last minute really he thought he could get away with going through all the way through with protection but the moves against him was strong enough to make him a decision that he could not avoid the risk of prosecution so therefore came the resignation of his security is being county by the state that's of his family as well and there's now just a statement out from from the presidency saying that we are currently working on transitional arrangements which will lead to the dispense ation of the agreements

which will unfold tomorrow that's a clear reference to the swearing in of the president and while this is going on i implore all zimbabweans to remain patient and peaceful and desist from any form of bench for retribution so we have here a situation where the president designates a man and god is actually calling for calm now that surprises some people because traditionally here in harare is calm there have been some claims of problems in rural areas where there is a monday involved that grace mcgarvie is involved in the some reports that could be problems there grace mccarthy is seen as a figure possibly dislike more than robert mugabe himself and we are in a situation now where b. whereby protocol dictates that mugabe will be invited to the inauguration this the whole swearing in ceremony on saturday in

a big stadium which will see many crowds cheering the new president on a historic moment whether or not mcgarvie will take up that invitation is unclear at this stage there are opinions on both sides and it remains to be seen one thing is sure you won't find out until the last moment you want to look ahead to that inauguration on friday what sort of mood do you think zimbabwe's in right now all through the deep inside celebrations when mcgarvie finally resigned. well there is a real feeling of optimism but it's measured it has to be said that there is not a naive in the people here you walk on the streets i went out just for an hour two hours back to speak to young people everyone of them i met was unemployed and the majority of them have degrees or a levels they've never known having a job some of them and so that is an extraordinary situation in the articulation is

coming from them was was quite moving really really the sense that they felt this was a moment that had to happen sooner or later it was their absolute dream now we've heard this said many times but they were saying it in the context that they knew. that the president elect would actually be someone who is actually connected to all of those years of deprivation and he was part and parcel of what they call the regime but right now they're hoping that with his business acumen and with the needs to progress there will be developments that are in favor of jobs in favor of a better future and in favor of a more open government with really free and fair elections for the future which is a real concern look at not just the concern of the people here but foreign governments both in the west and even in china where they have actually said that this is a good move and they have more or less put the green stamp on things so we have

a situation now where this will be history in the making and people are optimistic for listing full coverage of course of the on your grace and on al-jazeera and of my. or zimbabwe's stock market assured six billion dollars and its main index has slumped by forty percent since last wednesday that is when the military seized power which led to mcgarvey resignation many of our hoping that emerson god what will turn the economy around made a miller has visited the town of goma monsey to speak to people about their hopes for the future anyway want to be making cabinets coffins and doors and go to monsey for more than twenty years business has not always been great but it's worse than ever now the carpenter says a poor economy and political upheaval means rising costs and customers with less money to spend i think. things will be. no.

no the president things will be ok the small town like many others in rural areas is in desperate need of development a single tarred road runs through the town center there's no running water and not everyone has electricity many years say government economic policies meant to help the poor have been ineffective often only benefiting the political elite most people here farm and sell vegetables to make ends meet with about eighty percent of zimbabweans unemployed many have few options some have stayed while others have to live somewhere where looking for work alongside the market shift but unlawful search repairing shoes for a living. i've got a wife i've got children. but look at my job what i'm doing or what i'm doing after more than three decades with one president there's no promise of change but

many here wouldn't speak to us on camera believing it's not safe after years of political oppression in private they did say they want peace along with economic recovery it's thought political freedoms won't emerge overnight but policy changes that. encourage investors. property rights probably rights. being very discouraging. investment for. job creation. more celebrations are planned when emerson when god why is sworn in on friday but many zimbabweans are wondering whether a new face will bring meaningful transformation always it will be more of the same for me daimler al-jazeera gorham one season bob when all of robert mugabe's most controversial policies while he was president was the land reform program it made

it legal for blacks in barbarians to seize properties from white farmers without compensation many of those farmers then saw safety in neighboring countries such as zambia i was there as tony page has been speaking to some of them. doug stanley loves the smell of freshly turned the site of his harvest makes it all worth the hard work farming is in his blood now he's working in zambia having been driven off his farm in zimbabwe by supporters of president robert mugabe fourteen years ago i bought my farm after independence you know and i got clearance from the government to say that they weren't interested in that land and then. you know to be told to move along you know it's quite a thing and you do you do all that development and. it was my home four thousand white farmers were forced off the land damaging zimbabwe's agriculture industry its main export crop tobacco has almost recovered but the

maize harvest which is also been hit by years of drought remains too low to feed the nation people are dying of starvation so they're free. you know we really are living in. squalor a few before missourians and they're. actually exporting fruit juice about with zambia isn't the only country benefiting from the zimbabwean farmers expertise many are in south africa botswana and mozambique to another to some ministers around the horn but we drive through. five years ago and drive around to the farm and there was absolutely nothing happening and it wasn't only the white farmers who were affected their workers also suffered poor members living in fear of mugabe's supporters on the farm he flayed just before it was seized he's also still hurt by what happened a country is not about white black. yes. yes

. it is. like though it does give wrong there are zimbabweans who disagree many say they have been affected from the government's reforms. but they were devastating for those forced off the land they had invested time money and so much more and. now we don't belong anywhere we. like a lost tribe they are making a positive contribution and other countries but it isn't the same because it isn't hard tiny a page out zambia. the argentinian navy says a noise detected near the last known location of a missing submarine with forty four crew on board is consistent with an explosion a huge cns search is continuing off the coast of argentina to find the a or a son horn. we received information from an abnormal singular

information about their family members that they are now many of them fearing the worst in the meantime the search and rescue operation involving aircraft ships and under sea rescue equipment from at least nine countries is still going on in rough waters in the south atlantic around the spot where communication was lost with the submarine something like four hundred thirty kilometers off the southeastern coast of argentina where as i say information means the hopes and expectations are increasingly dire but nobody is giving up just yet until that information has been confirmed the size of russia's military force in syria is likely to be substantially reduced and the drawdown could start before the end of the year that's according to the chief of the russian military general staff. meanwhile syrian opposition groups meeting in the saudi capital have renewed their demands

play between saudi arabia and iran hariri had to kill coalition government containing the iranian backed group hezbollah saying holder has been talking to people in beirut to get their reaction to what has been a dramatic few weeks. the political crisis has eased but the main problem between the two major political alliances the pro and pro has camps has not gone away hezbollah's arms and the groups to militarily intervene in conflicts beyond lebanon's borders have long divided the lebanese political differences that are unlikely to be resolved anytime soon. i believe an agreement can be reached to stick to the disassociation policy lebanon should stay away from all the conflicts of the arab region we need a new disappear because of politics i'm not. just like. i don't know what the ball game somebody is playing with them all controlling them

. them. them is standing by him so three weeks ago lebanon found itself yet again on the brink prime minister resigned while he was in saudi arabia it was unexpected even his closest aides were shocked to stay in the kingdom was mysterious many in lebanon including the president accuse saudi arabia of forcing him to resign and holding him hostage and last week he left riyadh for paris after french mediation he came back to beirut he then decided to suspend his resignation saying he wants to give time for dialogue so what happened many here believe it was not an internal lebanese affair can he do when you can be a major powers you small opposed to avoid direct conflicts which is the case between iran and saudi they each supporting small groups in lebanon to fight the battle for example the saudis are using prime minister hariri to pressure iran and hezbollah. and you have eighteen six hereon groups and many of them are supported

and still unsettled on saturday. that's what we're talking about shooting for not enough pressure to burn themselves and the other countries have managed to solve this problem are you worried that this conflict could erupt into account right open a war that the city general security where the people who paid the price clearly the right top unprejudiced setting the stage for a serious debate absent at this time on al-jazeera. sometimes pictures are the only way to truly to a story and i'll just go see extra some of the latest in camera gear and technology to make sure these images are innovative to be a little legit is not just sitting behind a desk it's a given. with the team whenever needed. as

a child of political refugees ois been aware of different kinds of stories and different kinds of sensitivity al-jazeera as a space for that. welcome back undermined at the top stories on al-jazeera and bangladesh say they've signed a deal for the cut tradition of hundreds of thousands of injured refugees. the un is urging australia to protect refugees a detention center it used to run and papa new guinea police a man assigned to try to evict hundreds of refugees who are refusing to leave. and

security and political sources have told al-jazeera the zimbabwe's former president robert mugabe has been granted immunity from prosecution as part of his resignation deal. yemen's main international airport hasn't reopened despite the saudi led coalition saying it woods the military alliance had announced it would be allowing humanitarian aid into san our airport and the seaports of the data they've been facing increasing pressure from the u.s. and u.n. to lift the blockade so close to weeks ago after who the rebels fired a missile at the saudi capital riyadh the u.n. and aid agencies say the measures could lead to mass starvation. well the war in yemen has resulted in famine and it's led to the worst color outbreak in the world right now and doctors are also concerned about another potentially fatal disease. reports. to be a newborn in yemen means facing one of the toughest chances of survival in the world this is one of the only hospital still open in sana'a the capital of these

babies make it out of them will have to battle cholera malnutrition and now diptheria. most of the hospitals in the capital of closed others are on the verge of closing perseverant because of the austerity measures were implementing. in the central city of arab an outbreak of the theory is threatening children and the elderly is slowly recovering from a disease for which there's been an effective vaccine for one hundred years my throat was swollen my ears were painful the hospital has treated me but they don't have enough medicine sometimes my nose bleeds like yesterday when i was at school i couldn't bear it hospitals and clinics which have been destroyed by war are already overloaded trying to manage a cholera epidemic and a million infected yemenis the two week blockade of see an airport by the coalition of countries led by saudi arabia is stopping essential medical supplies including vaccines from getting through. hundreds are dying because of the lack of medicine

and other medical supplies we try to offer everything we can but there's only so much we can do within our limitations. the world health organization says diptheria is spreading quickly one hundred twenty cases and fourteen deaths have been confirmed so far most of the casualties the children burn it's made out a zero count as foreign minister has made the keynote speech at a counterterrorism conference here in london shaikh mohammed bin abdul harman al tani says katter remains resolutely committed to eradicate terrorism of all kinds. wants constantly. to seek new collective approaches to the global threat on terrorism and a changing. since two thousand and four that it took aggressive steps to cut off the flow of finance of terrorists by developing the proper legislation at the proper just little framework and improve our financial

monitoring system. has learned that they can't think terrorism and its ideology must be through a holistic approach by come by combining tough security measures with more lasting safeguards we can all succeed. most of the shows the need to germany social democrat party has met the country's president to see if they can break a political impasse since the election talks to form a government led by charles i'm going to break down the weekend she refused to answer coalition talk spouses and the increasing pressure to do so. on mccain joins us live now from but so talk us through the significance of these meetings being held. all of this to the point to make here it's been a day of meetings for mr schultz first of all with his party colleague the president of germany frank ironically a man who himself eight years ago fought and lost the general election campaign

against angela merkel something mr schultz did on september the twenty fourth and there the suggestion is that the president would have been saying to mr schultz look is there no real possibility of you finding a way to talk to angular merkel about perhaps forming a government and certainly that would have been said at the following meeting mr shultz had with his senior party colleagues here in berlin at a national level talking about the reality which is the fallout from the failure of these jamaica talks the coalition that might of been between the greens the free democrats and angela merkel's christian democrats there is a chorus of voices now of senior party officials in the social democrats saying well look perhaps we have to to have some sort of coalition with angela merkel after all so lots of negotiations taking place but what happens if they don't come to an agreement. well the doomsday scenario as it were is new elections but constitutionally that's not the easiest thing that can be done it's not

a formality for the president is to say you haven't agreed we've got to have new elections the procedure is that it will take some considerable time some experts say there may not be time for new elections until april of next year and the irony here for the city is if that does happen if there is no agreement then the previous government would have to continue in some way and ironically enough that is the grand coalition that was agreed back in twenty thirteen so you have this strange scenario where mr shultz is quite happy for the previous government to continue on a day by day basis right now but seems to be against continuing it in the future and the point to me made there also is that if you look at the opinion polls right now they suggest if there was another election well pretty substantially the same result would happen again so again there is this doubt being expressed well if there can't be the jamaica coalition if there is no other way then perhaps people should just say ok go back into government with anger merkel and finally the point

to make here is that on an international level certainly in europe there are many talks taking place certainly the brig's it talks the e.u. summit coming up in december which will require a stable german government and vat is why the social democrats increasingly seem to be pointing towards another grand coalition dominic in berlin thank you siddharth president has offered to make his country russia's gateway to africa ahead of a meeting with the russian president vladimir putin. omar al bashir said saddam needed protection from aggressive actions by the u.s. really accused of provoking conflicts in the region he also hinted at allowing russia to be sudan's red sea bases of a show is subject to arrest warrants from the international criminal course of an edged war crimes and genocide in sudan's darfur region. now it's been an important day in south korea with hundreds of thousands of students sitting their university

entrance exams south korea is a competitive country and the authority second extraordinary measures to make sure students get to the tests and do well so to participate later many businesses open later to reduce traffic congestion kathy novak reports from seoul. the years of study and long nights of after school tuition have all come down to this. i prepared a lot but now the days here i feel uneasy and nervous the was welcome to school by younger friends students in this new tory asli competitive country know the day long exam can determine not only what university they will attend but also their career and marriage prospects and ultimately their status in society the exam day has become a national event these students have shown up early to cheer on their classmate late comers can have

a police escort and aren't allowed to take off morning during the english listening . when a rare earthquake damaged buildings in the southern regions of the country the exam was postponed across the nation by a week. but it is no longer a make or break event for everyone while her classmates were cramming in the hours before the test known as the sooner limb now and was relaxing in a cafe with a friend she attends a specialized school and has already been accepted into university through a relatively new system which considers high school grades essays and extracurricular activities instead of the single exam i feel grateful because i know there are some people who who look towards the tsunami as if that's their last chance to prove themselves and they study so hard to just show everything that they have studied and one day a growing number of students have been opting for the new system today only thirty

percent of university applications are based primarily on exam results. the education and college admission systems are changing to ease a fierce competition among students and to provide more learning opportunities a focus more on learning and less on memory. i believe the level of stress that students have from study is lower than the past. second year student agrees her stress levels are lower than they might have been but still not exactly low sure the trust still exists because you know there are many academies and students are pressured to be more excelling because the universe never cities are you know a big factor in their futures. and for many students this test could still be the crucial factor that determines what kind of future they will have kathy novak al jazeera so it has been three months since hurricane harvey slammed into the gulf

coast of the united states nowhere was harvey's devastation felt more than iran's county in texas where hundreds from a homeless for thanksgiving service john hendren reports. ok now everything you need most now over on this thanksgiving holiday the people of fulton texas have fewer blessings to count. about taking my lap one time for manic depression. we're going to have a christmas this kid's going to get a christmas promise. mayor jimmie kendrick lost his barn two cars in much of his electricity in hurricane harvey and he considers himself lucky . three months after the eye of the storm ravaged nearly every building here a survey returned by most of iran's as counties remaining twenty five hundred students brought stunning news they got quite

a few of their own with that ninety eight percent of those they're homeless in some way with corn in the texas law and school that means they could be without electricity or could be in the situation or living with somebody else two percent and we're still living in tents. many live in this tent city even as demolition crews are still tearing down their homes about twenty trailer homes from the federal emergency management agency have arrived here in arends this county but three hundred fifty families have asked for help finding housing the fulton fishing pier he used to be a gathering place for the town and it was practical the money generated from running fishing gear and selling snacks here paid for the police department but since the powerful winds of hurricane harvey tore through it at points it needs to be rebuilt from scratch many hotels restaurants and stores are either financially wiped out or wiped off the map what did you lose in hurricane harvey our little american dream so we lost our hardware brand new business it was all right here

yeah it was just right here front door was right there ok so he's putting the deck up today donna townsend own three businesses here one was destroyed one was badly damaged the third was rescued by fulton residents say the neighbor's house yes they were is and friends are customers you know everybody needs a place to least say hello again how are you so the sugar shack became the town hall pretty much pretty much as texans along the gulf of mexico begin the long task of rebuilding their lives most of those we talked to say on this holiday they're thankful for what remains. join us live now from the town of fulton texas just getting to the little bit more why all so many homeless people that three months off of that still hit well one reason so many are homeless still felicity is that

there's no place left to put them take this hotel this would be a great place to put a bunch of people but the roof has been blown off the rooms are destroyed it's in much the same condition it was when the hurricane struck you can see people left in our story this is an x. ray left behind from somebody undergoing a medical procedure and just to give you an idea of how whimsical and selective some of these winds can be in the room next door everything was blown out of it but i noticed sitting on a dresser inside apparently undisturbed was one of those magnetic hotel room keys apparently just left there despite being there throughout the storm there are twenty seven thousand people who live here in iran says county but only thirteen thousand of them have registered with the federal government for aid now nearly everyone was affected so that suggests the majority of people here either don't want to give their money information to the federal government that they are overwhelmed with the paperwork involved or they simply don't know what to do

felicity yet told how all these people the ones who are homeless how are they coping with the situation. well you heard the mayor talk in that piece about the mental stress involved for everybody here he himself is living in his living room because it's the only place where he has electricity he has to sleep there but for many people they are truly homeless we spoke to a woman who for three months has been living in a tent city she talked about the stress of living there without the kind of sanitation and the kind of future certainty that most people take for granted many people here are living off of the donations that they're getting from well wishers around the world but one encouraging thing we found on this thanksgiving holiday is that a number of people said that although they have less to be thankful for they're more thankful for what they have this hurricane seems to have crystallizes crystallized what's important for them in life chill hundred lifetime fulton happy thanksgiving to you thanks so much. a still has all may sound.

brussels found themselves choking on the smell of burnt waffles after a factory fire on thursday fire sent thick black smoke across the capital causing coughing in the city center and the closure of some rail traffic it was not immediately clear what caused the blaze now some patrick's old cathedral in new york city is home to one of the oldest pipe organs in the united states but cathedral staff are concerned this important historical instrument may not make it to its one hundred and fifty birthday next year so they try to raise two million dollars to restore and preserve the glorious instruments jarrad lens over the cathedrals musical director has become as much mechanic as he is musician he shows us what it takes to keep the organs pipes in shoes. i'm gerald manzo i'm the director of music here at the basilica of st patrick's old cathedral in new york city. this organ was built by

a man named henry urban back in eight hundred sixty eight and i like to think it was his finest work. it was boyce for this room he designed it for this room and that's such an important part of why this organ special. it's a wonderful combination of visual art and also sonic r. . and has almost two thousand five hundred pipes it is all mechanical so you can see how everything works so here we are inside oregon. down here we have the bellows and they go all the way underneath the instrument and they go up and down and therefore. there is no electricity an eight hundred sixty eight the telegraph had just been invented in the middle square so when i press down on the pedal air goes inside here and plays that no.

the organ right now has some issues there are little things that happen but since it's mechanical i can go back there and fiddle with it and get it working again and have a lot of these around you because this happens all the time when mechanical issues it's a lot of work it's done and all of those tens of thousands of services this played . now are approaching its one hundred fiftieth anniversary next year we're launching a fund raising campaign to preserve this instrument for future generations. it is a huge project but we want to conserve it as best we can with as much of the original materials as possible that's a wonderful connection we have with the past it's like this organs spoken to people hundred fifty years ago and it speaks to us now with this beautiful town.

to win we think back to the glory days when some are reaching world cup quarter finals in the ninety's but what people want is them to put in a good performance because there's so much talent out there. it's very. well just zero. boys are having fun so that's the main thing isn't this why we play rugby do you think. this obey your best performance of the year. but this is the one we didn't see and certainly see there. and the longest winning streak in n.b.a. this season has come to an end the boston celtics had won sixteen straight games the fourth the longest run in their history. that was ended by the miami heat to goran scored twenty seven points as he claimed one hundred and four to ninety eight victory last in tasting defeat for the first time in thirty party.

cameras have gone i'm still here go into areas that nobody else is going talk to people that nobody else is talking to and bringing that story to the forefront. news has never been more available it's a constant barrage of it with every day but the message is a simplistic you have the brain a good logical rational or crazy amount and misinformation is rife dismissal and denial of well documented accusations and evidence is part of genocide the listening post provides a critical counterpoint challenging mainstream media narratives at this time on al-jazeera. this belief and despair in argentina is families of forty four.
