>> hello there, i'm barbara serra. this is the news hour live from london. thank you for joining us. coming up in the next 60 minutes. >> every time i think about those kids it makes me mad. >> an emotional u.s. president outlines his action to tighten gun control. venezuela's opposition takes control of congress but three short of super majority.

at least 36 refugees die as two boats sink over the coast of greece. >> i'll have all the day's sports including the english premier league. >> u.s. president barack obama has announced new plans to make it harder to buy a gun. the so-called executive orders include closing a loophole that allows gun sales without a

background check of the buyer. >> many of the ru republic party presidential hopefuls spoke out about this. >> we saw the show when the president was announcing the measure, he got quite emotional, didn't he. >> he really did. and we never see this from president barack obama. if anything we'v we have he's been criminal sized of being too stoic. this came as a bit of a surprise because the speech had been going on, and then he really did, he started to tear up, and

he sounded more determined than ever. let's take a listen to what he had to say. >> every time i think about those kids it gets me mad. and by the way, it happens on the streets of chicago every day. [applause] >> so what have we been hearing from the abraham lobby? >> the national rifle association is very powerful. the president took them to task and members of congress as well. but his strategy is not necessarily going to try to get gun legislation through congress now. it's not going to happen while it's controlled by republicans. they don't want this legislation. but he's trying to get the american people riled up. the nra for its part came out with a statement saying this is a president who is attempting to distract his lack of a coherent strategy to keep americans safe from attacks. and saying that americans don't

need more emotional condescending lectures that are devoids of facts. they'll challenge the president's actions in court. it's not completely clear that he has constitutional authority, although the white house says he does, but the constitutional authority to act where congress wouldn't or couldn't. the president wants to get more money for mental health, and he wants to add 200 agents that can do background checks. there is a loophole in the system that i someone tries to get a gun and they get a background check but it takes more than three days to return back that background check then they can collect that gun. so he's going to add agents not only to investigate gun shows but to do these background checks. to do that he'll need money from congress. we're already seeing from congress that they'll fight him down to the last penny.

>> patty culhane with the latest from washington, d.c. thank you. moving now to venezuela where the new parliament has been sworn in. amid a power struggle with the socialist president. for the first time in 16 years the 167-member national assembly will be controlled by the center right opposition. the coalition for the democratic unity wanted two-thirds authority in elections last month, but not all of them have been able to take their seats after a challenge in court by supporters in president nicolás maduro's socialist party. demonstrations have been held by supporters and opponents of the government accusing each other of subverting democracy. the president himself called for calm ahead of the inauguration. first of all, just help us through what has happened with the inauguration and the swearing in. basically this hinges on the

super majority that the opposition was meant to have, which now doesn't really seem to have any more. tell us more. >> yes, just on monday the supreme court published a ruling challenging the election of four legislatures in a fairly populated state. basically the supreme court was saying that it has to investigate what pro government candidates claimed were fraudulent votes. this has been questioned receively by the opposition who claims that the judicial coup and another strategy by the government to strip them of a majority. the mood was quite tense. all 112 legislators were allowed in, but only 109 has been sworn. they promised to challenge the opposition and they'll remain defiant and will rule with the

super majority that the people granted them in the polls. >> this has been a divisive time anyway, a real change in the landed scape of venezuela. the political situation, is that intensifying the division? what is the mood like in the country? >> yes, well, there was a renewed sense of hope amongst more than half of the population that voted against the government or for the opposition. hoping that the dire economic situation that the country is in at the moment could some how be solved with this new assembly. certainly th the assembly has vowed to pass the legislation that would allow the economy to r reactivate. but again the government has taken several measures to block the super majority. one of the measures includes stripping the super majority, like i said, but also stripping the opposition of the power to

name central bank directors. this would have an impact on any kind of economic legislation that the assembly might want to pass. but also what we're seeing is the country entering into yet a deeper political gridlock than it's been in in the past, and this will certainly have an impact on much-needed economic measures that will soften the chronic food shortages that the country has been going through for more than three years now. >> live for us in caracas, thank you. the united nations says that the civilian death toll from nine months of war in yemen has reached 2800. the latest figures show that the cease-fire 81 people were killed in december. and since the war began on mar

march 26 26, 2700 have died. in yemen there was an attack where two of the president's bodyguards were killed. government forces recently recaptured aid finance houthi rebels. well, amidst of the war and turmoil in sanaa an art exhibition has opened. it's the first of its kind since the saudi-led air coalition began. >> the capital of war-torn yemen. a city at the heart of the houthi led rebellion. that becomes apair rant with a closer look through the vibrant

colors and pressure strokes you can see the fighting, the turmoil and the loss. >> it reflects a fear the people of yemen feel, people trying to get away from the constant death and destruction. >> the conflict began in 2014 when houthi fighters supported by iran, launched a rebellion and took control of sanaa. in those ten months the united nations said more than 6,000 people have been killed. nearly half of them civilians. the exhibition is the first of its kind since the bombing campaign began in march. once invited to the ministry of tourism. now he's an artist. >> much of the heart reflects

the bombardment. women and children have been the main victories. >> u.n. brokered talks to end the fighter has suffered a setback. the saudi-led coalition announced on saturday it was pulling out of the cease-fire that began in mid december. without a clear path to peace people are determined to express themselves and the turmoil that they see. >> one u.s. soldier has been killed in southern afghanistan after coming under heavy mortar and small arms fire. two others were wounded in the attack in helmand province where heavy fighting has been taking place. the taliban has been focusing it's attacks to try to expend the group's control of the region. earlier the pentagon gave more details to what happened. >> an u.s. service member was killed and two more were injured when they came under fire when they were conducted a train,

>> the rubber dinghy has capsized. the bodies washed back ashore on the beaches of turkey. >> we came an hour ago. we heard a boat sank and hit the rocks i think these people died when they came to swim to the rocks. we came to help. >> but there wasn't much to be done. the turkish coast guard disbatched three boats and a helicopter to search for survivors. eight people were rescued. including one man who emerged from the freezing waters on his own. it's estimated a million refugees and migrants entered greece through its outlying islands in 2015 traveling on to

central and northern europe as part of the biggest humanitarian crisis on the continent in two decades. so we see the migrant flows are continuing through the winter, and obviously the fatalities are continuing as well. >> this is where most are heading. the greek island of l session bos. but despite efforts to improve efforts, international volunteers say that refugee's welcome can be a harsh one. >> women, young children, they are not safe at night. there is stealing. there is raping. there is--there are knives here. there are guns here.

those things happen here. >> so the fate of even those who survive the sea cross something uncertain. many will eventually find safe harper in european countries like german. but here on the greek shore their ordeal has just begun. >> here are some of the stories ahead on the al jazeera news hour. a vision for the future of syria. a list of demands ahead of the u.n.-backed peace talks later this month. also it may look like paradise, but we'll tell what you is driving many people away from puerto rico. we'll hear from one of the world's greatest footballers as he starts his new job as real madrid's coach. >> bahrain has call the all

flights to and from iran amid a growing dispute. on saturday protesters attacked the saudi embassy in tehran over the kingdom's execution of the dissent closuring nimr al-nimr. it said that they're severing relations. now heres what the turkish prime minister had to say about the dispute. >> iran and saudi arabia, which are friends and allies of turkey are two important countries of the muslim world. the current tension between the two countries is carrying the potential to increase the still continuing tensions of other parts of our region. all countries should acted rationally and we expect them to decrease the attention rather than increasing it. >> saudi arabia's foreign minister said that the current situation will not effect

political negotiations on syria. the syrian opposition has made a list of demands ahead of u.n.-brokered peace talks. they say they want to see confidence-building steps from the syrian government, including immediate end to the bombardment of opposition-held areas. >> the syrian due to start later this month. the syrian opposition leaders want confidence-building measures from the syrian government before the talks begin. they want syrian government forces to stop bombarding opposition-held towns and cities. they're calling for political prisoners to be released, and they want humanitarian aid delivered to those in desperate need. >> at least, stopping this

onslaught by the regime to tell the opposition that it is serious about the negotiation. >> the groups are fighting on the front lines against the syrian government and it's allies such as iran and russia. however, the political option lack unified command and have different visions for the future of syria. last month they try to unify the opposition before scheduled talks. >> it is possible for faction leaders, rebel leaders as well as political opposition to come together. but how can they go to the table when the situation on the ground is so divorced from the reality on what could take place in geneva? >> even if the opposition can't find common ground, talks to try

to end the war will be difficult. the opposition said it won't bargain with president bashar al-assad and demands he leaves for transitional government comes to power. foreign ministers support groups say assad's future isn't pre-determined. there is a sense of urgency from many parties to end the war, the reality is they may not be able to do so. >> dozens of iraqi security forces and tribal fighters have been killed after the islamic state in iraq and the levant launched it's biggest-ever attack. officials say the group launched an offensive from three directions and fighters targeted security points in villages and towns. dozens were injured. that comes as isil has lost 30% of the territory it once held in iraq and syria. the coalition has been launching airstrikes to help fight the

group in key sisters in iraq, ramadi as well as in syria. leaders of an armed group that has answer over a nature reserve in the u.s. said they'll leave when their demands are left. the protesters in burns, oregon, wants the lands turned over to protesters. the group calling itself citizens for constitutional freedom said that the government aggressively took the land from ranchers against the rules of the u.s. constitution. >> we all see that we're being successful and being prepared to leave when the ranchers are being restored. they're moving cattle back to the ranchers. the logger is back to the hill,

and they're safe in the use of their resources. >> let's speak now to gabriel he will gonzo, who joins us live. we're just hearing from the leader of this group. he was speaking about two hours ago. what else have they been saying? >> in short, they'll stay as long as necessary. you can see the guys milling around there. that's the entrance to the refuge. the truck is completely blocking it. you'll see this watchtower, that normally is where park rangers are stationed. they watch over the different birds and animals around here. but now they have armed anti-government protesters there. this press conference that they had held here.

the message is they do not plan to leave any time soon. what they say is they're going to start collecting contracts, they say dozens of farmers or ranchers here in this area have been illegally kicked off their land, according to this group. they say they're going to fight to get that land out of the government hands and back into the hands of the ranchers. this is a very difficult task. how they plan to do that, they didn't specify that. but i will tell you that key from this group is they have no plans to leave any time soon. >> it's interesting that they seem to be saying that they're fighting on behalf of other local ranchers, but in light of that what is the local community been saying about all of this? >> two things. first, the sheriff last night was saying two words for these people. he said go home. so the sheriff is wanting people

out of here. the community and the town of burns is about 50 kilometers over my right shoulder. let's pan out so you can get an essential of how vast this area is. the community we've been speaking to, they're divided. there are east people, ranchers who say they support what these anti-government protesters are doing, but are hesitant that they're actually using weapons and bringing all this attention to their community. others are saying they shouldn't be here. others i've spoken to in the last hour. she said she's torn. a lot of issues they have with the federal government are issues that they have had for a long time, but no one has paid attention. now with this protest, with this over taking of this refugee here, now they're getting the attention they need, and they want to try to make some changes with their relations with the federal government. i can tell you that the fbi is

now in control of this situation in a sense in the response the government's response. but there is no police, no fbi agents anywhere around, as you probably saw as we panned out the come are a there. they think that the federal government, the fbi, police do not want to show a presence. they don't want to i am explain the situation and make it more volatile than it already is. >> gabriel elizondo in oregon. thank you. the u.s. territory of puerto rico has defaulted on $174 million of debt payments. people in the caribbean islands are now looking to washington for help. robert ray reports now from san juan. >> the island of puerto rico is defaulting on debt payments. >> we've seen that through 2014.

>> local senator said that puerto rico cannot stop the crisis until washington helps. >> in order to pay for the services we'll have to sacrifice for the services for the people of puerto rico. >> trying to pay down debt the island has slashed healthcare and public transportation services. they let go of 30,000 public sector workers, closed over 100 schools, and increased the sales tax by more than 50%. >> no matter what side of the aisle the politician is on in puerto rico, if you talk to them and ask them for the recession and the massive debt almost all of them will point to a 1996 act of congress that cut corporate tax incentives. by the time 2006 came along most of those big companies left the island. >> puerto rico's governor speaking exclusively to al jazeera described what

happened next. >> puerto rico had to bring investors to the island. to bring manufacturing to the island. they shut down that with ten-year period that ended in 2006. what happened? we went into recession. >> puerto rico's jobless rate is 12.5%. more than double the national average of 5%. last year 84,000 left the island, and 1,000 more joined them each week. most headed to the u.s. mainland. then there is the 45% poverty rate clouding the future of the working class. >> the crisis that developed, that took decades to develop would not be involved for one day to the next so for them i know what they're feeling, and because of them i'm trying hard to fix these crisis that we

inherited about. >> the debt load has been building for over a decade, and the long-term outlook appears bleak with more payments due in the coming months. the only hope is if congress allows the island to restructure the money owed and start from scratch. >> much more still ahead for you in this news hour, including germany's aging population and low birth rate are creating a skills shortage, but can refugees fill the void? >> in malaysia if you're a first-time home buyer it's more and more difficult to buy within the city center. i'll tell i couldn't housing projects like this is becoming more popular for the first-time home buyer. >> in sports news miami's big names set up, we'll be here with that and the rest of the sport in just a few minutes.
