>> this is al jazeera. >> hello, everyone, and this is the news hour, live from london. coming up in the next 60 minutes. a bomb in a tourist area kills at least ten people. ape among them eight journalists. agencies who deliver aid to the syrian town say malnourished people there need medical help. a legendary takeover, china's richest man buys all major hollywood strawed owe. to their contracts. changes

leaves them banned from global track and field competition. ♪ . >> hello, ten people are now known to have died in a bomb blast in the largest cities istanbul. the attack happened in the an area known for historic monuments. it is popular with tourists and ate of the dead are german. the explosion was so larged it was held several kilometers away. convened an emergency security meeting he says the suspected bomber was a saudi member of the islamic state of iraq and levant. turkey was already on high alert after a series attacks

including a double suicide bombing in october. that left more than 100 people dead. this report from istanbul. >> . >> i went back and saw it, everyone was running around, police didn't see this coming they were upset but at the same time they were trying to evacuate the area, because they said a second bomb could go off. >> istanbul is the biggest city, where the square is a major tourist attraction for both tourists and turks. thousands visit every day. the district is also home to the highest museum and the blue mosque. >> some in turkey have been expecting attacks on turkish

soil since the forces launched their offensive against fighters and kurdish fighters. >> in october at least 102 people were killed in a double suicide blast on a peace rally in the capitol. turkey's president has coon determined the attack. >> i strongly condemn this attack. this apparent terrorist atrack, i was like to offer my condolences to those that lost their loves ones and pray for those that lost their lives. once again, this shows us how important it is to be united. they will continue. >> the district is now locked down. >> people left bewildered that a suicide bomb has torn through their beloved city. >> joining us live now in it stainable, what more is the government saying about the

perspective bomber. >> well, first we were told by the government spokesperson, that the attacker was 28-year-old syrian national. that the attacker was a foreign deash a foreign member of deash. saying that the attackser saudi born, who entered turkey, we understand from the government spokesperson, on the fifth of january, along with four friends. and registered his fingerprints at a police

station. >> that will be of huge concern, if that is true, because there's been a lot of concern about the sheer number of people from syria, majority of whom are of course refugees but the sheer number of people who are on the syrian turkey border, and those trying to get across the border. >> exactly. turkey has been buildingle -- been taking quite a number of precautions because tushky has been building a wall, along it's very long border, with syria. and it houses the most number of syrian refugees. the number either above or just around 2 million people, and it was interesting though the prime minister also said that he wanted solidarity, with turkey, the way there was solidarity with france after the charlie hebdo attacks. he said that people should stand with turkey, and some of the reaction coming from both the european union and

germany has been exactly that. that we stand by -- we stand with turkey, and will do everything on turkey's side, basically. >> all right. al jazeera in istanbul, thank you for the moment. let's take you from there to berlin, speaking to al jazeera dominic cane. we knew that many of the people caught up in this apack were in germany, and uh no we have has the big pick juries concerned. >> that's right. it was somber angel merkel whose brief report a short time ago, effectively confirming that eight german citizens were killed by this explosion, and that nine more were wounded. she expressed her condolences on behalf of the german nation to the victims and marry relatives, and she expressed also the stead fadness of the government in the fight against terror, that is something she has repeated on many occasions most recently on new year's eve, and her new year's eve address.

we heard from her colleague, who said that this was a barbaric act of terrorism. we know that the turkish government has said that it will share all the information that it can clean, in it's investigation into who carries out this attack, and the motives behind the attack, which is taken so many lives. and one of the effects of this will have potentially is on the tourism industry. we know that many many germans travel to turkey every year, drawn by the beaches but also by the culture of istanbul, and the other big cities in turkey. there is also a large turkish population here, so certainly the eight victims we know about who are killed in this attack, the nine german citizens badly injured. well, this was certainly be a reaction here in germany, of sadness, and we know that the german cabinet is holding a special meeting this evening to discuss this what has happened in istanbul, and we can expect further deliberates oen this matter in the days that follow.

>> indeed. i presume at the moment, it is still early, but i aea assume that travel agencies haven't been inviting people not to go to turkey, which of course is exactly what these attacks are designed to do, to try to persuade tourists to visit the country. but so far, no warnings being issues about not traveling to the country itself? >> the german foreign minister advised the citizens in turkey, to avoided areas of mass population areas. particularly in istanbul, that's something that the foreign minister reiterated in one of his earlier statements saying that at this time, it was best not to go to such places. and earlier, last year, the german foreign ministry did say that there was an elevated threat in turkey, without specifying particularly where that threat might be. and i don't think we can say

that the german foreign ministry was not aware of any particular threat today in istanbul, which is why this attack has cause add great shock to people here, and of course in turkey. >> dominic with the latest there from berlin, thank you. take you back now to istanbul, she is the head of political science and international relations. thank you for being with us here on the al jazeera news hour. the turkish government is blaming isil since this was a suicide bomber, either inspired by isil or belonging to ice sill. there have been aa tacks in turkey before, be this was one targeting tourists we assume, is this a different form of attack? >> yes, it ises. turkey, of course, has been dealing with terrorism for a long time. a. >> it has it's own security problem, with regard to the p.k.k. now daesh, of course, are a new terrorist threat

phenomena for turkey, but they have already done two attacks on turkish soil. these are largely done against rallies of activists who were supportive of the syrian curds, the p.y.d., so one could assume that daesh's strategy was initially to attack rallies where it sought disrupt abe support for the syrian curds. but it refrained from attackerring tourist centers in turkey until now. it's attack tourist centers before. i mean recently, we had the isis related daesh related attacks in egypt. and before that in tunisia. but never before in turkey. so yes, this is a change of strategy if you like, but on the other hand, one has to ask whose strategy is, because these virtual cells largely, we saw this with paris as well. daesh is not related to sort

of big higher arcky structures. the virtual cells take the idea and then they act on their own initiative, most of the time, and that'ses why when an attack after paris, for example, it is very difficult to find the trail, it just died off after a certain time. so in that respect, it is difficult to discern where the strategy or the change of tactic is coming from. >> what then do you think is the government's likely response to this latest attack? are we beginning to see more of the focus on tackling isis rather than a focus on kurdish fighters. turkey has been criticized by some for attacking launching air strikes on kurdish forces rather than concentrating on isil. >> well, turkey has always maintained that both isil daesh, and the p.k.k. are equal terrorist organizations for them. now, they had intensified targeting attacks against the p.k.k. strong holds, in

northern iraq, because at happen point, the p.k.k. was a direct national security threat. daesh was not a direct threat until they started blowing up targets in turkey. turkey is an important part of the coalition against daesh. they are not targeting curds in syria, i have to make that very clear. and they have targeted different positions of p.k.k. in northern iraq. but the majority of the -- hello, can you hear me? >> yes, i can. >> because i have lost -- okay, sorry. but the majority of the flights that are taking off in the coalition air strikes against daesh in h syria, are taking off from the air base. so turkey is part and parcel a a very important part and parcel of this coalition. >> we were hearing from our

correspondent earlier this hour, that the turkish authorities suspect that the bomber is a saudi citizen, who actually passed into turkey from syria, and claimed that he was a syrian refuge. now there's been a lot of issuers turkey has a lot of issues the fact that there are so many thousands of syrians camped on the order and wanting to come across the border, but it's also been criticized for having porous borders with turkey. >> well, it is a very difficult border to maintain. it is over 900-kilometers long. and turkey from the beginning of this crisis unlike most of the countries in the region, have pursued an open door policy to take in any refuge that is escaping and whose life is in danger. that's why there are over 2 million refuges in this country. when you imagine in one day you can have up to 200,000 people piling on one point, in less than 48 hours that's an enormous amount of people

to process. they have been difficult. there are certain possibilities where that editional has been locally livelihood that has been made from smuggling. that has been difficult to curb, the families that live on the other side of the border as well. so terrorist organizations like daesh have taken advantage of this. but so has the p.k.k., that has been an equal problem for turkey to deal with. they are now building this wall it's a to pronged wall, a patrol road, with drones or a whole border security system. i believe they are planning to build that across the entire border. but testimony cities a very difficult situation given that you spill have refugees coming in and who will -- whose lives are in darer. and turkey is not going to be turning them away.

>> okay, really good to get your thoughts and views on 24 story, joining us there, thank you so much. >> thank you. coming up later in this news hour, peace talks get underway in myanmar, but are boycotted by the biggest players. how china's richest man has become hollywood movie mogul overnight. organization has asked the syrian government to allow a mobile clinics and medical teams to assess the extent of malnutrition in the town. the u.n. has described the suffering there as the worst scene in the country's so far. aid agent skis are negotiating to pull out hundreds of starving people from that town. on monday aid was

successfully delivered on two other syrian towns. kevin kennedy is the u.n. humanitarian coordinator, and he joins me via skype, thank you for being with us on the program. how confident are you that the syrian government will allow in these mobile clinics to street some of the most mall nourished in places like that die yarr? >> i think it is momentum now, i think the -- some varieties of the situation and the other two as well, is now well known, and cannot be denied and we are hopeful that the government will support the efforts to provide assistance to all nose in need wherever they may be. >> we are hearing around 400 syrians are so badly eeffected that thigh need to be evacuated for some urgent medical treatment. efforts have been made to get them out, but was it too difficult? >> what we will see, the team on the drowned last night,

which was the syrian air crescent, and the international community red cross was there during the hours of darkedness there's no electricity. they estimate just about 300 to 400 people in need of urgent medical care. some can be treated on site. some will need to be evacuated that needs to be further assesses and we hope to do that in the next day or so. >> if people don't get out will more people die? >> well, if assistance is not able to been delivered on the regular and sustained unimpeded basis and this goes mainly to syria, people will die due to the lack of help. >> even though we have seen -- what do we say to the syrian ambassador says it is

fabricated. starving in places like ma die yarr. >> what are teams oen the ground, is term acute severe malnutrition, again, this is during the proof hours in town. so there are people desperately in need of nutrition and food, and if food is not delivered they will be very severe consequences. >> it's been success, the fact to get the aid convoys in town. how confident are you that the u.n. that you are going to get the convoys coming in on a regular are basis. this took an awful lot of organization didn't it? >> it does, and it's been a long on going process, for years now.

>> the security problems it is an active -- very active war zone, shifting front lines and imposed by all parties to the conflict. and a lot of access, a lot of negotiation, to -- what we call for, we estimate of the population of syria, about 4.5 million people are in what we term hard to reach areas. and our access to those people and very very limited. we need full time, unimpeded sustained access to all these areas. >> really great to have you on the program, kevin kennedy, the coordinator for syria, thank you so much for your time. >> thank you. >> iraqi rescue workers have been searching through the rebel of a bombed out shopping center. 18 people were killed and 50 injuries. well a suicide bomber and gunman saw the -- three

palestinians are being shot dead in separate incidents in the occupied west bank. now they were looking for an alleged attacker when the fighting broke out. two other teenagers were shot dead in separate incidents both were accused of attempted stabbing. 154 palestinians and 21 israelis have died since the violence escalated in october. al he's speak now to al is in jerusalem for us, and just tell us more about these incidents today. >> today, tuesday, we have now seen three incidents in which three men have been killed in separate incidents involving altercations with

israeli military and occupation forces they of course have resulted in protests but also in hebron. near hebron is where two of these young men were killed by israeli forces, hebron has seen perhaps some of the most fierce clashes between and two sides, the reason for that, is pretty clear. not only is hebron around -- perhaps the largest city in the occupied west bank, with a population around 600,000 people, it is also home to an illegal israeli settlement, right in the heart of the city. now around eight -- or rather 800 israelis live in that settlement, but there are around 1600 soldiers there to protect them. that, of course, results in altercations like we have been seeing just now, but really just underscores the tenses that we have been seeing across the occupied palestinian territories and

parts of israel since october of this year. in which more than 20 israelis have been killed and well over 150 palestinians have been killed. in a variety of attacks, car. rahings protests and the like, and the one thing i suppose we can greene from that is that it is simply not slowing down. >> indeed. where the latest there, thank you for joining us. >> myanmar's pro democracy leader has met rebel leaders for the first time. the talked are aimed at ending decades of fighting but no all rebel leaders were there. >> this is one of the final abouts of the government. f capitol is hosting the union peace conference. five days of talks between the government, and armed rebel groups. >> the peace conference but transition is more of a systematic. >> the age groups represent

redirect examination the say ones that signed in october what the government called a nationwide cease fire deal. in reality, it was anything but nationwide. with some of the. >> laest groups boycotting both the signing and this week's conference. they were unhappy that a small of the army were invited to sign the deal, and that it is continuing in some areas. developing a road map to a federal police system. the leader of the national league for democracy party will oversee the peace process in the near future, but won't necessarily control it. the n.l.d. won the general election last november, and is tomorrowing the next government. >> in this time based on the man date, it is right to do what people want us to do. we are ready to take the responsibility of building forever peace. i hope, everybody will help

us. >> the group she really needs help from is the army. it's commanders will reare main a powerful political force, even after the new parliament convened on february 1st. mrs. a deep miss trust of the military in the rebel held areas and they may be keep to exert their influence and power for some time yet. wayne hay, al jazeera. thousands of doctors in england have gone in strike in a dispute over a new contract. it has led to thousands of operations and procedures being canceled. >> they and thousand uhs of others should have been on shift, but instead, and under the shadow of the u.k. parliament, doctors have walked out. angry over plans to change their current contract. junior doctors they could see them working more hours in the free health service, the n.h.s. >> obviously patients safety

doctors won't see a pay cut. >> the moment we have an n.h.s., we have a stroke of the weekends you are 20% more likely to die, that can't be acceptable, and the right thing to do is is not to strike, but to sit around the table, talk to the government about how we deliver a truly seven day n.h.s. >> it takes five years to get a medical degree in the u.k. after that, you can spend ten years as a junior doctor. some of the next generation training at st. george's university, believes this strike could be a defining moment for the profession. >> you have to work longer hours to supplement their income, and similar ways and it obviously will have an effect with people more tired and safeguards the issues we have with the conduct anyway. seem to be eroded as it is, so that the potential for even longer hours. >> we don't know what the contract will look like when we start, we have no idea what the hours will be, the kind of support we will have.

istanbul, we are seen attacks in paris, copenhagen and many other places. international terror chooses different plays but the goal is always the same. our free life in our free society. terrorists are the enemy of all free people. yes, the enemy of all man kind, whether in syria, turkey, france, or germany. >> the world health organization is asked the syrian government to allow in mobile clinics and teams to assess the extent of malnutrition. aid agencies that have delivered aid say malnourished people there need medical help. and three palestinians have been shot dead in separate incidents in the occupied west bank, in the latest wave of violence. >> u.n. backed peace talks over the war in yemen have been delayed. they were due to start on thursday. but may not begin for another week, because the parties can't agree on a location.

>> houthis gunman herd residents away from their check point. >> more than a quarter million people have no access to food in the city, which used to be well known for it's coffee and agricultural products. it ises under siege by houthis fighter whose control the city. fighters loyal to the president control the city's main districts. >> we hear explosions all around us. >> the army is trying to recapture with air support from the saudi led coalition. the coalition is backing the president internationally recognized government. >> what do we do? where can we go?

this is our country. >> some are risking their lives to smuggle in food over mounter passes. the u.n. says 21 million are in dire need of help. the saudi led coalition backing the yemen government began air strikes last march, since then more than 6,000 people have been killed and 2000 civilians injured. the world health organization says hospitals have had to stop treating patients because hospitals are overwhelmed. blockades and air strikes are preventing agencies from delivering food, medical supplies and even oxygen. malnourishment is widespread. >> everything is getting worse day by day, they say they won't allow us to leave. >> as military efforts continue to fail, they hope the # end the siege will pressure the battling forces to allow in humanitarian aid.

cost less, but it is bat news for oil producing countries they are getting enough for their oil to cover the costs. some are even on the brink of defaulting on their debt. that downward trajectory is having a major impact in venezuela, she joins me from the capitol, how vulnerable is venezuela to this big drop in the price of oil? >> it ises probably the most vulnerable country of the oil producing countries. venn stay la relies on 95% of oil, so any slight fluctuation effects venezuela. and that clearly is lower than the expected income. and this is having a huge effects in not only in the economy, where shortages are being exacerbated but also even in the political sphere,

in venezuela government relies heavily on social spenting and it's base, of support was very much stepped on these sort of oil funded give aways. so it became apparent how hard the government was being hit, when the opposition for the first time in almost two decades gained control. so here life is very much links to oil, not only the economy but also the political sphere as well. >> live there from caraucous, thank you for that update. now, the u.s. president will lay out his plans for his final year in office, and his last ever state of the union address later on tuesday. barack obama has promised the speech won't follow the usual script. the white house correspondents has more on what we can expect. >> to detail how he sees the

want to get done in the year ahead, but what we all need to do in the years to come. this is a president that has had a very difficult time with congress. when he was heckled by a congressman. >> and last year's address. >> i have no more campaigns to run. my only agenda. i know because i won both of them. they are unlikely to get congress to about on any big issue uhs but he will ask them to pass reform, and the transpacific tried packet. >> we are are not afraid. >> and he is expecting to warm them if they don't act on issues like close the prison, he might on his own. this is a president defining his legacy. with one year left, looking to add a few more

biggest cinema chain, in australia, also. and increasingly we have seen as a audience member and a film critic. i have noticed there does seem to be a move into bringing china into hollywood movies. a couple of films the marchand is the other, where china has had a heroic role, save the day and come to the rescue of astronauts stranded? space. so i think it is -- this in many ways the summation of quite a long court ship. because they obviously want to make move sprees that will appeal to the mass market. s there a sense is that this is a bad move in terms of. >> the legendary thomas

charles is quite forward and he has already talked to film makers and says it ises going to effect the product, and the way we do business. but i think you do possibly see an industry wide attempt to sort of maybe tone down just a little bit more of what can be called political sub text. and just deal particularly in main stream blockbuster entertainment. but odd uh yepses around the world. >> some of those do very well, and they are very well critics by people, are you saying we will see fewer of those being made by the big hollywood film maker? it will be down to smaller companies? more companies you may not have so much money to make those films in. >> i think to be honest with you, the main studios left that market, quite a long time ago. the market they saw how much these movies are making, the

most made more money than any other movie this year, including a chinese movie just picking a chinese fantasy movie. so you can onlily see that's where they are going. things like star wars batman, these things have a global appeal, and they don't necessarily have to have any kind of political undercurrent. because in many ways it is about the big bang and the bang for your buck. >> all right, good to have you with us, thank you for joining us. >> now a cleric jailed on brother charges has appealed for his sentence to be overturned.
