>> we start with breaking news. and two bombs went off outside of the hotel which is popular with westerners. they changed fire with security forces there. the latest on this developing story, by speaking to a

journalist.

>> there are meetings, big meetings there. important people come in. >> and tell us who might have wanted to attack the hotel? who in burkina faso would have wanted to attack a hotel where u.n. works and westerners meet? >> early in the day is there has been an attack, so we think that they are coming from there, attacking in town. >> i'm sorry, there was another attack a little bit earlier in the area. what happened in that attack?

>> there has been an attack around 2:00 p.m. local hour, so the attack for the nearby area. it is more in the area. >> that's great bringing us to date on that hostage situation at the hotel in the capital of burkina faso. thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> now the u.n. has called on all sides of the conflict in syria to put their differences aside so civilians come first. the meeting to discuss the crisis after harrowing pictures of starving people emorninged from the town. people there have told officials from the world food program that 32 people have starved to death in the last month.

>> you cannot let more people die under your watch. mr. president, as highlighted by the emergency relief court nateer to this double this past monday, there is no alternative to a political negotiated solution to this desperate conflict. this council and all relevant stake holders in particular those who support the warring parties must put their differences aside and place syria on a firm path to peace. >> well, diplomatic editor james bays was monitoring that meeting and he joins us now from the u.n. strong words but talk us through other things that were made in the--he accused some of those

involved, and i'm sure he's talking about some of those diplomats from some of the western countries particularly the representative of the u.s. u.k. and france, who called this meeting a politicalization and double standards. he said that they were using suffering for political purposes, which is interesting considering that we heard the

deputy humanitarian chief and then the u.n. secretary general that all sides including the syrian government, who has the primary responsibility of protecting the syrians were using food, medicine as a weapon in war, and he said that was certainly not the case. and in terms of the situation in madaya where we've seen pictures of starving people, he has a completely different story. he says that the food there in that town was so stolen by rebel groups who he described as terrorists, he said that the supplies were looted from the u.n. that's something that has not been confirmed by any u.n. official at all. >> james with the latest there at the u.n. thank you. well, let's have a closer look at what is happening in syria. because they have spent a mobile clinic and medical team to the town of madaya after the government gave permission.

>> the bombs and guns come and go, but hunger has been constant for many in this town. now for the first time in months people in madaya are getting outside help. truck loads of food, medicine, and doctors are streaming in although for many people it's too late. community workers say hunger has killed more than 30 people in the past month. >> where we ended, we had the children in need. cases of malnutrition. we saw such cases ourselves and hope we can get them out of madaya to be taken care of in our centers. >> that will require permission from the forces that cut off the town in the first place. fighters supporting syria's president bashar al-assad has controlled madaya for months. until now it's been hard to verify activist videos that accuse the government of deliberately starving its

population. it's the same government that is now allowing foreign aid workers in. what they found may be evidence of war crimes by both the government and by the rebels. >> the scenes haunt us all. the elderly and children, men and women, who are little more than skin and bones, suffer serious malnutrition, they can barely walk and utterly desperate. >> here trucks full of wheat and flour are head to groups held by rebel groups. while there may be some relief from hunger it is not clear if those who let them starve will ever be punished. >> russia says its forces in syria have begun delivering humanitarian aid and it's calling on all sides in the conflict to make sure that aid gets into areas blocked by rebel

fighters. they have delivered 22,000 tons of aid in areas that are held by the government and by isil. >> currently assistance is being delivered to a city long under siege by isil terrorists. today syrian military cargo equipped with pallets delivered 22 tons of cargo. it's distribution will be done by local authorities. >> and at least 20 civilians have been killed after their homes have come under fire by government forces. earlier this week one child was killed and several others wounded when russian airstrikes hit a kindergarten in that area.

>> one man is brain dead and another five people are critically ill after being given an experimental drug in a french clinical trial. 90 people had taken the painkiller. developmentment of the drug has been suspended. >> it was a clinical trial that went badly wrong. now with one person declared brain dead and five others in hospital, the french health minister has ordered an investigation. >> the families are devastated. we'll make sure that they're given all the answers particularly as right now i'm not aware of any comparable case. what has happened is unprecedented and requires the greatest possible investigation. >> the drug was being tried in renne in western france. it was meant to act on the

body's canabid system which deals with pain. >> today four of the five other patients have neurological problems of varying gravity. one patient didn't have any symptoms but is under intense surveillance. >> a lawyer for the victims say there was clearly some kind of error or oversight. >> coming into 2016 with all the means we have such an accident could still happen. at this moment i have unfortunately no idea. has there been an human error. i cannot believe in coincidence or circumstances. >> dozens more people got smaller dozes of the substance and now they're undergoing a brain scan to make sure they have not been harmed. >> you're watching al jazeera still to come on the program hours after the west africa ebola outbreak is declared over a new case is confirmed in sierra leone. plus rebuilding relationships, how the head of

the angl anglely can churchill to heal the resist over same-sex marriage.

>> hello, welcome back to al jazeera. a gunman open fired i in in the capital of burkina faso. the u.n. security council is

meeting to discuss the crisis after harrowing pictures emerged from the town of madaya where 32 people have died in the last month. one man has been left brain dead and another five are critically ill after an experimental drug was given to 90 people in french clinical trials. iraq's top shia cleric has urged the government to do more to stop the cycle of sectarian violence. it comes after attacks and reprisals in the country's eastern diyala province. we have more were baghdad. >> after days of violence and continuing sectarian tensions, a significant statement from the highest shia religious authority in iraq. >> a few days ago the town in diyala province witnessed terrorist attacks and regrettable attacks on several mosques which have dangerous

consequences. as we strongly condemn these attacks we place full responsibility on the government security forces for their consideration. >> the eye i can't tollly condemned the attacks targeting shia militiamen as well as the wave of tall tore attacks against sunni mosques. he also blamed the government for not doing more to protect the people of iraq. the population in the province is a mixture of sunnies and shias. after isil was pushed out last year, shia militias began handling most of the security. some prominent members of the sunni community find the remarks disingenuous suggesting among other things that shia militias are more to blame for sectarian violence than any other groups. >> it's just another way to say big words and yet cover up the crimes that are taking place.

and they know, they are responsible for these crimes. all the iraqi government, iran, and definitely the shia religious authorities itself. >> what is clear for now the violence couldn't come at a worse time. a huge concern for iraq's government right now is if this surge of violence continues, and if sectarian lines continue to deepen that could undermine efforts by iraq's government and security forces in their fight against isil. >> now with the implementation of the iran nuclear deal expected as early as saturday, u.s. secretary of state john kerry is traveling to vienna for a meeting with his iran an e.u. counterparts. they will be holding talks on a joint comprehensive plan of action for this all important deal. let's get more on this story now joining us live from washington, d.c. roslind jordan.

things moving right now. what can we expect in the coming days, ros? >> well, felicity what we can expect is first the all important report from the i.a.e.a. about whether or not iran has, indeed, complied with all of its obligations under of the terms of the deal. making it impossible to enrich uranium at the iraq nuclear reactor. that includes moving all of its enriched uranium except for 300 kilograms out of the country. that includes reorganizing the functions of the newell reactor so that it can only produce nuclear materials for peaceful purposes. not for potential nuclear weapons. once the i.a.e.a. has issued it's report to the members of the p5+1 to the e.u. and u.n. security council, that is when

implementation day actually takes effect. >> assuming everything goes according to plan how quickly could everything change for iran? >> well, one of the things that was done in the u.n. security couple by the e.u. and by the u.s. government was that back in on october 18th, which was adoption day, all of these various entities started issuing regulations and orders to basically move forward to implementation day. basically going ahead and authorizing certain moves such as the lifting of sanctions against iran related to its respected nuclear weapons program as well as travel bans and sanctions on persons who might have been involved in that program. they went ahead and passed those measures basically saying that once implementation day happens all these things will be

automatically taking effect. so it's pretty much insan francisco takennous. but it all depends on the iaea report when it's delivered to the various entities, and they announced that yes they have received the report and accepted. it is worth pointing out that from the iranian perspective, apparently, there is a real desire to have implementation day happen on saturday. and the reason is this, the u.s. has for more than three decades hundreds of millions of dollars in iranian funds because of the take over of the u.s. embassy and the hostage crisis back in 1979 and 1980. well, sunday the banks are not open in the united states. monday is a national holiday, and again the banks won't be open. what the iranians reportedly don't want to do is to have to wait until tuesday to show to their citizens that they complied with the deal, and that they're now getting these all

important sanctions relief. however, a senior administration official is telling reporters that the process will roll out the way it needs to roll out, and not just because the iranians want the process set up as much as they can possibly swing it. >> roslind jordan with the latest there in washington, thank you. indonesian police say they've identified four out of five jakarta attackser. they're now searching for that man who they believe is the top suspect. he's indonesian and part of the islamic state in iraq and the levant in syria. we have reports from jakarta. >> they've been accused of being caught off guard. the police in indonesia are now trying to find out who was involved in thursday's attack. they have evidence who was joined isil in syria and may have planned the attack. >> they have given the order in syria, and they have the chief in that either one basically,
