caroline malone reports. >> reporter: a protest less than ten kilometers away from towns under siege. they are marching in solidarity with the people inside. >> translator: we came to lebanon because of the regime air strikes. they destroyed our homes, burned our fields. there is nothing left. the people fled with their families to madaya. they put them in a big prison. >> reporter: there have been marches in syria as well. people here want to make sure their fellow syrians get access to food and medical aid as soon as possible. there are more than 40,000 people in madaya alone who have been without proper food for months. the last time the u.n. was able to get aid to them was in october. al jazeera managed to speak to a drent of the town. >> translator: we don't understand how the world can do nothing to solve this crisis.

civilians are being killed because of the use of this cowardly weapon. >> reporter: unfortunately there are many places under siege in syria's war, and more th than -- 400,000 who have been cut off from food and medical supplies. >> translator: we lived in the same situation as madaya. we came to stand in solidarity with the people there. >> reporter: the u.n. says it will be able to send some aid to some villages. >> we expect that the joint operation should take place in the coming day. >> reporter: the aid will help a small number of people out of the thousands who are suffering through this five-year war.

caroline malone, al jazeera, on the syrian-lebanon border. we spoke to one of the civilians under siege in syria. he lives close to madaya. he told us death from starving is now a regular occurrence. >> translator: it comes in stages. people have been losing consciousness. each day it becomes more and more. five or six have died in the last week. our children are hungry, crying all day, asking for food, even just one leaf. the children don't have any strength. they can't stand up from their beds. they are saying i want to eat, but the answer is the same. there is no food. there was one united nations food truck which got access in the last three months. this food is enough for one family for up to ten days, but if the family is big, it is not enough. we are desperate. we eat leaves off of the trees

and insects. each week we hear aid will come, but nothing is seen. if i don't see the u.n. truck, and i if i don't have my good basket in my hand, i'm not going to believe it. i want to remind people that we are here. we are human. if people don't care about us, i just want to tell them to get animal rights groups to care about us. honestly we are starving and eat k cats and dogs. turkey has introduced new visa restrictions for syrians. it's an attempt to reduce the number of refugees coming in from other countries. tur kirk officials say refugees entering directly from syria are still welcome. more refugees have arrived on to the greek island of lesvos. volunteers were there waiting to help. >> reporter: some of the refugees who has made it to europe and as far as serbia have

bordered trains. they are heading north eventually into the european union. for more on this, we're joined in the studio by a senior humanitarian policy advisor at world vision. thank you for joining us here on al jazeera. it's really an awfully bleak picture pretty much everywhere. you just came back from serbia. what did you see. >> reporter: many refugees who came from the middle east and made it over to serbia now, when they started coming it was warm, now it has been getting very cold. >> give us an idea of how cold it is, right now. >> reporter: the last couple of days it has gotten to negative 10 degrees, but it goes from snowing to raining, which means if you are sleeping on the ground outside, there is a lot of mud on the ground, which is

contributing to the disease that we're seeing now, where people are getting ill. >> we have been talking for months or years about how the european union -- or that europe hasn't managed to have a cohesive answer to this. but what kind of aid is coming in? >> what is being provided in serbia by our team and our partners is places where people can sleep in some type of heat during the -- >> main thing you are saying shelter. >> shelter is one big thing. but what we're seeing in serbia, many people are coming, but not staying. so people are moving, and many children and families are moving in the cold, without adequate protection from either rain or snow. many are sleeping outside. when i was there last, i spoke to a family who had come from aleppo, they had come from syria via turkey on one of these infamous boats, walked through greece, and they were in serbia

outside, and the children were maybe four or five years old, asking how they survived the war, and the journey, and now they were afraid their children would dry from frostbite in europe. >> yeah, it's shocking. a few days a letter was sent by many organizations, basically urging the british prime minister to do more -- to be more welcoming. i guess the push being made from a lot of european countries. what do you think needs to be done by countries like the u.k.? >> i think we need to make sure that the questions i got from this family in serbia, asking why should these children die from frostbite, should never have been asked in the first place. we should provide shelter, food, and water, we need to make sure the journey they are making from

the middle east should never have had to happen in the first place. >> we have seen this news emerge out of cologne and many sexual assaults in the city. a lot of the details still not clear. but there is a bit of a backlash and question marks being asked, because many parts of the press are blaming immigrants and refugees for this. does that -- i guess -- does support across europe effect an agency like -- like you? >> i think the lessons we have learned from the last couple of years, working for example, in lebanon, if you need solutions and provisions for the refugees that not only support the refugees but also the communities into which they are coming. there is a pressure on europe that we must rise to and meet, so we can provide aid for refugees who have fled a massive war in syria. but in a way that works as well.

>> sir, thank you for your views. >> thank you. belgian investigators have found an apartment in brussels that may have served as a bomb factory for last year's paris attacks. belgian prosecutors say the apartment may also have been used as a hideout by the suspect still at large. the attacks on the french capitol in november left 130 lead -- dead. jacky rowland sent this update. >> reporter: investigators searched a flat in the scarbeck neighborhood of brussels. it had been rented by someone using a false name, and inside police found some vests, belts that say they could have been used as explosive suicide vests. they also found residue of

explosives, and a fingerprint matching that from the suspect who is still on the run. now the police are saying, although they have found this fingerprint, they are not in the position to establish when the fingerprint was left, because fingerprints don't come with a time or date attached to them. so there are two possible scenarios, maybe more. one that the flat was used as a suicide vest manufacturing workshop, given the presence of these half-made belts. another possibility is that he could have used the flat to lie low after the attacks, because investigators have already revealed that friends of the suspect drove him from paris back to brussels on the night after the attacks, and another suspect who is currently in custody has told belgian police

that he drove the suspect to the scarbeck neighborhood on november 14th. so quite a few theories there, but the police don't know for certain yet. colon's police chief has been temporarily relieved of his duties days after a wave of violence against women on new year's eve. german police have been making their first arrests following complaints of more than a hundred women who say they were attacked that night. emma hayward reports. >> reporter: it was supposed to be a night to celebrate. instead new years eve in cologne turned into one of chaos and violence. with allegations of serious sexual assault, robbery, and threats, by groups of men against dozens of women close to the cathedral. an internal police report says officers were not in control.

>> translator: i thought to mice if we stay here in this crowd they could kill us. they could rape us and nobody would notice. >> translator: i no longer was in control of myself where to go or how to defend myself. >> translator: they felt like they were in power and could do anything with the women who were out on the streets partying. >> reporter: protesters say the police could and should have done more. what happened more than a week ago is fuelling the anger in germany about immigration. witnesses said many suspects looked like they were arab or north african. more than 30 suspects have now been identified, some are asylum seekers, but they aren't being connected to the sexual assault violations, but face violence and robbery charges. >> translator: the feeling women have in this case of being

completely defenseless and at mercy is for me intolerable, so it is important that everything that happened must come out into the open. >> reporter: cologne is home to a large muslim community. many are ethnic turks who have lived in the city for decades. they are worried that people are pointing the finger at muslims and north africans when the facts are still not clear. >> translator: it has nothing to do with religion. it's about the individual. lack of respect for women isn't a religious problem. >> translator: everyone says this has something to do with muslims. i have been here for 30 years myself. and i have never seen anything like this. >> reporter: the german chancellor has warned that any foreigners who were involved in the crimes could face deportation. in the wake of the new year's eve accusations of sexual assaults and violence against women in cologne, similar reports are now emerging from

sweden. at least 15 women have made official complaints in a southern coastal city. they say they were groped by groups of men on the streets during the festivities. coming up, chinese markets show signs of recovery, after panic sells caused the government to suspend training. while venezuela declares its economy is in a state of emergency as global oil prices fall to their lowest level in more than a decade, and how football officials could get a second chance to get things right in the future. details coming up in sports. ♪ human rights watch says at least 140 people have been killed in two months of protests over land rights in ethiopia. demonstrators are opposing an expansion into ethnic land. opponents to the expansion fear that native farmers will lose

their land. the state includes the ethiopian capitol and is home to around 30 million people. joining us via skype from amsterdam is the deputy director of human rights watch's african division. thank you for joining us. give us more detail about what you are claiming. the government wants to expand from the capitol. what exactly -- what reasons are they giving? and are they offering compensation or what do you understand the situation to be? >> well, the government has presented what is known as a master plan for the area, which does expand the municipal boundaries. the problem is, it's not clear what kind of discussions they have had with people who will be effected. clearly the protesters claim that there has been insufficient consultation. they are very concerned, the protesters, that is, that there won't be compensation for farmers and other displaced from

their lands. and this is one of the main reasons that these protests have been sparked and have been growing actually in intensity over the last couple of months. but there are other grievances many protesters are aromo, and they have long-standing grievances with both this government and previous governments, and so these protests, i think are very much building on historic grievances with the government, and unfortunately have taken a very brutal and violent turn. >> and it's not just about the clashes. there have also been arrests, i believe by some leading politicians and journalist intimidation. what more can you tell us about that. >> yeah, often the ethiopian government -- unfortunately the knee jerk reaction is often to arrest journalists and call them

terrorists. in this case they have also arrested leading opposition politicians. there was a man that was arrested on the 23rd of december and was taken to the main federal detention center, but he then disappeared. he was hospitalized apparently and disappeared, and his whereabouts are unknown. >> as it happens the foreign minister is actually visiting brussels on monday. have you been putting pressure on european officials to bring all of these topics up to the ethiopians? >> we very much mope the e.u. will put the protests on the agenda. >> do you think they will? >> i would hope so.

they claim human rights principles are a core part of their relationship with the ethiopian government, and this will really put it to the test. >> it will be interesting to touch base with you on monday after that meeting to see what if anything comes out of it. deputy director of human rights watch's african division, thank you. >> thank you. a swiss christian missionary has been kidnapped for a second time. she was taken from her home on thursday night. she was previously held hostage for ten days by a group. it is understood she had been previously warned that she would be executed if she returned to timbuktu. south korean scientists have found a small amount of radioactive air-born activity

over the sea close to where north korea says it tested a hydrogen bomb on wednesday. in contrast to the rest of the world, the hydrogen bomb test was celebrated in north korea. whatever the truth, tensions between north and south have worsened over the last 48 hours. scott heidler reports from the border where south korea has resumed its propaganda broadcasts. >> reporter: it's a tactic not used since august, and one the north koreans call an act of war. exactly at midday, south korea restarted its loud speaker propaganda broadcast. a military officer defected to the south ten years ago, she says the broadcasts are

effective. >> translator: there are people who defect after listening to the broadcasting. soldiers are listening to the broadcasts. they get a lot of idealogical education, but now they are exposed to propaganda broadcasting. >> reporter: those loud speakers aren't just anti-north korean government, they also include global news, weather, and popular music. there are more than ten speaker locations and some are mobile. the south korean government says the broadcasts will continue indefinitely. the british foreign secretary said the broadcasts are simply rising to the bait. but it's not clear how north korea will react. the north might also respond by taking hostages among tourists or the ngo's that work in north

korea. these guys are sometimes taken hostage and picked up for pseudo crimes against the state and stuff like that. so north korea might respond like that. >> reporter: so for now the military and the people of south korea wait for the response from its northern neighborhood, along with the rest of the world. scott heidler, al jazeera, south korea. north korea's actions are one of many international factors believed to be behind the recent instability of the chinese stock market. it is showing some signs of recovery, however. the chinese markets were twice shut down under the controversial circuit breaker rule, which has now been abandoned by the government. adrian brown has the latest. >> reporter: in china, red is a lucky color. it tells you shares are up. nine months ago, there was a lot of red. chinese investors were buoyant. the share market was at its

highest level since 2007. but for now that winning streak is over. the market is in a slump. since june, stocks have lost more than 40% of their value. and some small investors are less than happy. >> translator: don't film! we don't want to talk about it! we need to go back to playing cards! >> reporter: they blame their problems on foreign speculators as well as a measure that was supposed to calm markets but had the reverse effect. >> translator: the government is trying to protect individual investors, but the system is not perfect. the system needs to be improved. >> reporter: the authorities have responded to that criticism, suspending the circuit breaker rule that halts trading when shares fall sharply, which happened twice this week. as a result the market rose on friday, a partial recovery. panic was subsiding. but the start of 2016 has set a pattern for what is expected to be a very difficult year for the world's second largest semi.

>> we think there is a chance, there is also a chance to be a substantial slowdown. in china we put it right now at about one in four. >> reporter: the leadership here has more pressing issues right now. namely bergening local government debt, a growing housing bubble, and overcapacity in state-controlled industries like coal and steel. and then there's what china can't control. in neighboring north korea, the military this week claimed to have successfully tested a hydrogen bomb. the markets also worry about deepening diplomatic tensions between iran and saudi arabia. last week china's president seemed to allude to the challenges confronting his country. he told the nation that fruitful gains come with persistent efforts, his way, perhaps of saying it is going to be a tough

year. oil prices have fallen to around $33 a barrel. that's their lowest level for more than a decade. countries that rely on oil for income need the prices to stay at a break-even level to meet their budget tear requirements. analysts predicted for 2016 that would be $85 a barrel for russia. $75 a barrel for nigeria. saudi arabia needs it to be $93 a barrel to break even, and venezuela, which is already in an economic state of emergency needs oil prices at $111 a barrel. that's very far from where we are now. virginia lopez has more now from car rack kas. >> reporter: this shop in downtown caracas specializes in

selling bills. lugo says he loves old and new alike, but admits that the story his prized collection tells is grim. >> translator: this reflects the loss of the currency's power that venezuela suffer. this bill came out in 1981 and was equivalent to $116. now it is only equal to $0.50, which isn't even good enough for a candy. >> reporter: a recent report leaked from within venezuela's central bank, puts the oil-rich country's inflation rate at 370%. according to the economists, it is the worst crisis in the country's modern history. >> it's in the process of hyperinflation. huge fiscal deficit, lack of foreign reserve, and the only commodity of importance, oil, falling at levels below over the

last 11 years. so it's the perfect storm. >> reporter: hardship is being widely felt by venezuelans, poverty has increased from 25% to almost 70% in just one year. venezuela's economy is particularly vulnerable a fluctuation of oil prices, the recent drop left the economy in a freefall. this mix, many fear could bring on a wave of social upheaval. an informal food vendor who works night shifts at a bank, says that even two jobs aren't enough. >> translator: this situation affects us deeply. on top of it, we can't find what we need. so we're constantly having to find new ways to make things work. >> reporter: experts free the

magnitude of this crisis could snowfall into social commotion as more as more people are effected by the deep recession. venezuela president has condemned the removal of a portrait of his predecessor from the national assembly. it sparked protests with socialists calling for images of chavez to be punt on every street corner. >> translator: this is the most serious insult in 200 years of hisries against the sacred memory of the liberator of the americas. i want to condemn in the name of the venezuelan people, and all other venezuelan rights for the horrific insult against his memory. still to come this hour, scared to go home.

diana is a syrian campaigner for amnesty international in london. she says the scenes in madaya are the result of a deliberate policy. >> the syrian government is using starvation as a method of war. residents told amnesty international that some government officials at the check points besieges madaya have told some women who protested there, that as long as [ inaudible ] are under siege, madaya will continue to be under siege as well, and civilians are prevented from leaving. suppliers are buying, like rice and other kinds of basic food from government officials, security forces and hezbollah members as well, at these check points for very high prices. these suppliers are selling these -- these food items at very expensive prices. as amnesty international we have been calling to the u.n.

security council to basically pressure the syrian government to comply resolutions 2139 and 2165. all sieges must -- must be lifted immediately by all parties of the conflict. an isil fighter has reportedly executed his own mother because she encouraged him to leave the group. british-based syrian observatory for human rights says the woman warned her son to leave isil because she feared a u.s.-backed alliance would wipe it out. he reported her comments to the group before executing her in front of hundreds of people. a quarter of the iraqi city in anbar province remains under control of the islamic state of iraq and the levant. iraqi forces began taking back parts of ramadi two weeks ago. government troops have taken control of a mosque as well as a hospital. booby traps are the main

challenge. it is now almost two months thins kurdish fighters recaptured sinjar. but sinjar still sits deserted. but as mohammed jamjoom reports from a camp. many of the ethnic yazidis displaced done want to go back anyway. >> reporter: for this man and his family, returning home wouldn't even begin to help. >> translator: if my family isn't there, i don't have the heart to return to sinjar, because my heart is broken. it's like an open wound hah that salt was pored into. >> reporter: he shows us a picture of his oldest son that isil captured. his daughter, daughter-in-law,

and grandson were also taken. written on every face inside of this tent are stories of unrelenting pain, unbearable loss. this woman's sister-in-law has two of her children kidnapped, a 14 year old, and 3 year old. she has no idea if they are alive or dead. >> translator: how can we go back? we can never go back. i can't sleep a single moment at night thinking of them. >> reporter: at the camp in iraq, many have become accustomed to living in a kind of purgatory. children, women, and men, still against the bitter cold, with the knowledge that worsening worth, is nothing compared to the hell they have lived through in the past year and a half. another sad reality for the approximately 12,000 yazidis here is that while many would

like to return home, they can't. neighboring sinjar, is still off limits to the yazidis who do want to go back. everywhere you look ruin. this brigadier tells me they can't allow yazidis to return until mosul is also cleared of isil, and there's no telling when iraqi forces will be able to accomplish that. but there's another reason too. >> the big problem for them is all the houses, you know, there is no buildings. it is ruined completely. everywhere they starting bombing all of the buildings, all of the houses, so this is one of the challenges and difficulties for them. there is no place to live in. >> reporter: but for this man, john of that makes a difference. his family's house is also destroyed, but even if it were still standing, without the rest of his family, he would never consider it a home again.

mohammed jamjoom, al jazeera. bring you some breaking news now out of mexico. the president's twitter account has announced a recapture of the drug lord el chapo guzman. guzman who headed a cartel escaped from a high-security prison in july through a specially dug tunnel. we'll bring you more as we get it here on al jazeera. now thousands of iranians are rallying in protests against saudi arabia after the execution of a shiite cleric six days ago. the demonstrations started after friday prayers in the capitol tehran with protesters carrying pictures of the shiite leader, and chanting death to the saudi

royal family. saudi arabia severed ties with iran own sunday after crowds attacked two diplomatic posts in tehran in the aftermath of the execution. israeli police have shot head a man suspected of killing three people on january 1st. he was reportedly killed during a shootout. relatives had identified him from cctv footage. he was accused of killing two people in a bar as well as a taxi driver. our correspondent sent this update from jerusalem. >> reporter: the eight-day manhunt came to a deadly end when police tracked him down at a building in the north of israel. they say he tried to flee the building and opened fire, that is when police returned fire, and when he was killed, they say

immediately. they also reported none of the officers were injured in the exchange. in the background of all of this, there has been an awful lot of criticism of israeli police and security forces for their failure to track down the man for so many days. and while police and indeed intelligence services have not described the attack on new year's day as nationalist motive vated or terrorism, they do describe the man himself as a terrorist. that of course, is very interesting. it comes at a very tense time across israel and the occupied palestinian territories in which we have seen months of violence. but it would seem that israeli police and security services aren't connecting the alleged actions carried out by mr. melham to this latest unrest. still i would believe

mr. israelis are breathing a sigh of relief that he has been captured and killed, but questions still remain over his motive. israelis and palestinians have come together in an unusual form of protest after the israeli education ministry banned a controversial novel. they have released a video of jews and palestinians kissing each other. the people participating in the video were a combination of couples, friends, and apparently some complete strangers as well. joining me now is an author and journalist. thank you for being with us. talk about this book. written by a 43-year-old woman, basically semiby -

-- semi-biographical. the fact that it was banned from the curriculum was controversial. >> yeah, the fact it was banned was very controversial. shocking but not surprising. >> was it really banned or it just didn't make the cut? what did the ministry say? >> that was the thing that was shocking. it was the way the education ministry qualified its decision to remove this book from the list of the high school curriculum, and the way it framed that decision was around the idea that it didn't want to promote a book concerned with an interracial or interethnic romance that it thought that jews and non-jews should be pursuing more separate relations. >> i think the exact words intee mate relations between jews and non-jews threatens their

identity. >> there you go. in that is something you might hear in a kind of slavery era, deep south, or apartheid era south africa, but at the same time it isn't that shocking, in the sense this is something that has been in israeli society for sometime. when i have been reporting in that region, it has come up quite a lot. there are self appointed groups who take it upon themselves to defend jewish israeli women from advances of palestinian men. and that's what happens when you have a society that is very premised on sort offeth know nationalism. that's the logical conclusion, it's going to become more hard line, more obsessed with this kind of thing, because with that

kind of operational premise, there is nowhere else for it to go. the reaction left to time out magazine tel-aviv of having this idea of getting couples kissing. what impact do you think that has had? and what does it say that it was left to a magazine to take this kind of action. >> yeah, it does have a reputation for being a liberal magazine, but this was simple, inspiring, very human, and actually very brave, because the climate in israel -- >> is it just that we have only heard about time-out magazine doing this, because it is a fun idea or just that there hasn't been a strong response from other groups in general? >> well, the trouble with israeli society at the moment is it has become very difficult for

left-wing groups to have a voice, because they have been so stigmatized and demonized in part by the government. for instance, they just put out a ruling that ngo's that are concerned with human rights but get funding from overseas they have to declare that funding. that is just the tip of the iceberg of a right-wing government. the climate is not conducive to a push back, but we are maybe about to see the start to it. and what timeout tel-aviv did because spark that. >> rachel thank you so much. >> thank you. u.s. president barack obama has vetoed a bill that would repeal elements of obamacare. the republican-controlled house of representatives passed the legislation on wednesday.
