this is al jazeera. hello. welcome to the news hour live in doha. still waiting and still starving. aid agencies say it will be monday at the earliest before help reaches the besieged communities in syria. arab leaders accusing iran of creating chaos. a hollywood actor leads the mexican police to the world's most wanted drug lord.

>> reporter: i'm here with the spo sports today > tens of thousands of people who are starving to death in three syrian towns will have to wait at least another day before help reaches them. aid agencies had hoped that trucks with food and medicine would arrive on sunday. some people are so desperate that they're eating leaves and grass. >> they are ready to deliver aid to three sillages in-- villages in syria. we're talking about a madaya which ask on the outskirts of damascus. that has been under siege by government and allied forces. another area is idlib where

people are under siege from rebel forces. the u.n. has been helping to negotiate this deal from back in september. that's when they had hoped to agree on a ceasefire with these two differing sides and then last week some fighters were released from the north of madaya and their families as well. it has taken until this stage, a complicated stage, to help people that are in need of aid. there are other people in syria who need assistance as well. something like 400,000 people that need some support. the u.n. tried to deliver aid last year but only managed to get access to 10% of those areas. a good proportion of people who desperately need aid now is where there is no plans for that region at the moment almost 40,000 people in the u.k. have signed a petition calling on the government to air

drop food to starving people in syria. if it reaches 100,000 signatures will it be heard in parliament. it reads: joining us now for the call to air drop food it is being backed by the minister for europe and international development in the scottish government. he joins us. you're in favor of the u.k. air dropping aid in syria in the besieged areas there, but you haven't signed the petition, i understand. >> it is a general matter of protocol. government ministers don't sign

petitions. myself, the scottish government and also of the members. we support the calls for there to be food aid dropped for those that are starving and those images that al jazeera has been showing quite rightly all week from madaya and the other provinces of the emaciated people and starving children should stock the world. if we can drop bombs in syria, i've got no doubt that the raf and the u.k. military can also drop food aid packages there is a president for this. they dropped aid to thousands in iraq. the environment in syria ask far more complex. mapd is in a territory which is

held by the syrian regime which has access to sophisticated missiles. >> let's try to take a few of those points. first of all, there's precedent and it is a slightly different environment. the raf is the best air force in the world. if they're not able to deliver packages, i would be surprised at their capability because they're the best in the world. in terms of the missiles, i was noting in the 42 years since the war, the syrian air force, the syrian forces, have all been managed to best down one jet. they managed to take down one jet. that is a disputed claim. that is despite israel, of course, and other countries in the past having conducted air strikes in syria. i think we have an raf that is

more than capable. it's worth saying that that journey from lebanon by some accounts, they would only take a round trip of five minutes. we have done it in the past. bashar al-assad's opportunity to down jets is one shaky at best are you confident that the u.k. government would approve such a measure which is being backed by many people in the u.k.? is it going to happen in your opinion? >> i sincerely hope so. credit where credit is due, the u.k. government has been sending aid to refugee camps. one of the biggest aid donors is around syria, but those images that you've been showing over the week is an absolute stain on our conscience. it would be unbelievable if the raf did not have the capability to do that. i believe they do.

all it takes is the government no act what will the government do to persuade the government in london to go ahead with it? >> a few things. i will be writing immediately to the foreign secretary to make that case, but on top of that, there are snpsps who will also be backing that call as well. we will do everything we can do as a political party. it is across the spectrum. let's make that case to the u.k. government and if we can be dropping bombs in syria, i see no reason why we couldn't and shouldn't be dropping food aid packages for the most vulnerable in the world thank you for that. saudi arabia has accused iran of

undermining regional security at an emergency arab league session. the talks were requested by riyadh which cut ties with iran when the embassy in tehran was stormed a week ago. they were angry about a saudi shia cleric. >> reporter: the iranian threat to arab internal fierce is clear. iran is using sectarianism as an queues. brothers and sisters need to show our support to our sovereignty and security, and we need to prevent interference in our internal affairs a senior columnist with the saudi gazette joining us live now. thank you for being with us. another extraordinary meeting today after that g.c.c. meeting in saturday. what is the purpose of these meetings? what is saudi arabia hoping to achieve? >> we need to have a common

stand in the arab world because iran is interfering in not just saudi arabia or the gulf states or syria, iraq, lebanon, but also in other countries. in egypt they are exporting shiaism, in somalia, sudan, the islands, and in other places too. it is a chance for everybody to come and make a stand together and send strong message to iran that this is not accept sure. a xhen sta common stand, but so have had a muted response to this and they have called for more wisdom. even withinment g.c.c. we are seeing two different reactions with some countries the more vulnerable, like sudan and somalia, choosing to cut ties

with iran you whereas the other are downgrading relations. isn't it going to be difficult to find common ground within the arab league as a whole? >> no. even if the g.c.c. conference there wasn't the same stand from everybody. everybody individual country has its own relations with iran. some of them have separate more than others. bahrain, for example, they found monday norring cells in kuwait also, the emtheir islands being occupied, saudi arabia have more to worry about. -- monitoring cells. they have very good relations. at least we could come up with a strong message to iran as happened in the g.c.c.

conference a strong message, but beyond the strong words and the condemnation what action really is saudi arabia prepared to take? we've heard that they're going to take further measures. what measures precisely? >> measures to further isolate iran and hurt its economy. i don't think there is any other things we can do no appetite for a direct military confrontation then? >> no, no, no. this has been refuted by the prince strongly and he said this is not something any wise man or - it's not common sense what are your response to some saudi arabia's critic saying they're playing this anti iran card now as a pretext to crack down on domestic dip sent

and also to-- dissent and to deflection attention from the province right now? >> actually that could be said by iran. because there are 27 sunnis on death row awaiting executions. they have been accused of spreading anti-government calls, over throwing the government or being members of various groups. that's their crimes and they are awaiting executions. there is 1000 have been executed in 2015 according to your own reports. they have more to worry about, about the courts and pollutions and arab stand and others who are demanding their rights aren't regional and domestic politics the driving force behind this crisis rather than

the religion, the sunni-shia divide? >> i believe iran's dreams of an empire is dating islam. what they are calling or hoping for is an islamic. they are hoping and dreaming and working for that project thank you for sharing your views with us. iran is denying firing rockets near a fleet of war ships. the u.s. navy has released video showing the fly in. the accusation is false and similar to psychological warfare.

the egyptian parliament has met for the first time in four years. the party led the previous parliament. the mexican government says an interview with hollywood actor sean penn led them to the country's most wanted drug lord. he interviewed joaquin guzman in a secret location in mexico late last year. more from our correspondent where joaquin guzman was recaptured by mexican police on friday. how did a hollywood actor lead the police to the most wanted man? >> reporter: as early as friday evening when news broke here that he was captured here in his home base, the attorney-general of mexico said that

communication between joaquin guzman and hollywood actors and producers planning a movie, perhaps, about his life had helped lead him there and then 24 hours later we hear this news that sean penn had a scoop of the interview in a mexican jungle and then officials put out a comments saying that this that meeting may have led them there. in the article sean penn says he was worried about being followed. indeed, the mexican government is saying that they soon after that meeting knew that joaquin guzman was operating out of the neighboring state and that ask what eventually led them here which in turn is where there was a raid here on friday. >> reporter: on saturday mexican authorities removed the bodies of five men in the raid that led

to joaquin guzman's arrest. as forensic experts looked for more clues the state was looking at how to extradite him. according to the attorney-general extradition could come in a matter of weeks or months, depending on the road blocks his legal team will institute. when joaquin guzman was captured in 2014, the attorney-general at the time joked that he could serve time in the u.s. only after serving 300 or 400 years in a mexican jail. he escaped through a tunnel last july which embarrassed the

government. they have now changed their tune. the drama is still felt in this small city >> >> translation: it was around 4am when i heard loud bursts of gunfire look never before. >> reporter: the local taco stand sits 50 metres from the house. they had no idea that the top drug bust was living in their midst. >> translation: i never majdz having him, such an infamous figure so close. >> reporter: they didn't have him managing under the streets. after fleeing the safe house joaquin guzman and an associate escaped through a sewer. when they remerged they highjacked a car. a few minutes ago a machine gun from this site was fished out.

it is in a busy street the coke and dagger hollywood elements keep adding up here. not only did he escape through a sewerage tunnel, not only now is the government saying that sean penn, one of the world's most famous actors help lead them to their man, now there are reports that sean penn himself is being investigated by the mexican government. this story keeps on taking on the attributes of a hollywood drug movie itself thank you for that. coming up on the news hour worried about freedom of speech. thousands gather in hong kong to ask what has happened to five missing book sellers. plus how this star project in northern iraq is helping syrian refugee children deal with the

drama of war. a pioneer dies at age 89. her story in sports government backed muslim leaders want mosques to open for public tours this weekend to encourage greater understanding of islam. the french president has honoured the attacks a year ago. jacky rowland is live for us at the grand mosque. there has been a week of commemorations in france this week >> reporter: it has, yes, and it's significant that the mosques have decided to hold this open weekend to coincide with those commemorations.

they feel there has been a lot of misunderstanding of what islam is like and what they've doing. so the doors are open for ordinary people to try to demystify the whole thing. to find out more about in open doors weekend, and also to gauge how successful it has been, i'm joined by a representative from the french council against lamb phobia. why is now an appropriate time? >> because you have the shock of the attacks and then you had the end of year holidays. people are back at work and home. muslims said it is time to work. people as people of ourselves. >> reporter: what has the response been by the public? here at the grand mosque we have

a huge number of visitors. do you have any feedback from other mosques? >> i've been following the news on every single mosque. there are proud and they're happy about the older people showing in, so yes it is a success, but all piece coming in information or is worthwhile is that mosques are open throughout the year. it is a good thing that they actually made april national campaign to open mfks pep now under the state of emergency which has actually been targeting muslims first. >> reporter: obviously, one of the main objectives of this open weekend was to counter this kind of backlash, counter certain negatives, super types that have been doing the rounds after the "charlie hebdo" and november 13 attacks. to what extent do you think this open weekend will make a difference in terms of these negative perceptions and video types? >> nothing beats dialogue and

reaching out to others who don't know you. muslims have been growing frustrated with people speaking on their behalf. the most damaging thing is seeing the politicians interfering. muslims are the grass roots, saying those roops don't represent us so now when mosques are open and people enter and they get their answers questioned, they can help with the accusations with muslims. >> reporter: there have been politicians of varies parties who muslims needs to do more to condemn the attacks. is that fair or is if grouping them together? >> there is nothing worse than a blind person who doesn't want to see. we rm in a preelection period. everybody is thinking about the

presidential election one year and a half from now. they will use whatever rhetoric is used to fuel their position. far or right wing ideas is not helping anybody but those politicians. >> reporter: thank you very much for that. he gave us his assessment on how successful this open doors policy has been. back to you thank you for that. police in germany in the city of cologne have arrested two men suspected of being involved in a spate of attack on women on new year's eve. more than 100 women filed complaints saying that they were robbed, assaulted by a group of foreign men. police blame those attacks on asylum speakers. protests calling for tougher laws to punish refugees.

asked them to try and supply some medical help to the lady in that package. the government have told us that they're trying to do that and have ensewered us that she will get the necessary treatment. this comes as a massive embarrassment from the ethiopian government when it has been getting global recognition for its economic success story. what has been described is great economic growth, double digit growth over the 10 years. one of the growing economies in the world. the president of the united states obama was here last year and gave a huge endorsement in ethiopia saying, praising ethiopia for its economic growth and hailing its support in its find against al-shabab militants in neighboring somalia. the government admit that there is a long way to go on their path towards full democracy and
