very good to have you along for this news hour, this is the news hour, live from london. several stories we will be looking at. still starving inside syria, promises billions to help refugees with solution for the country itself, looks a long way off it's not just the food for today, but hope for tomorrow. >> the death of a student, apparently killed after being ab ducted and tortured in

egypt. >> protests on the steps of parliament, will explain why workers across greece have walked off the job. >> also sweeledden says a u.n. panel has ruled that the weekky leaks founder is a victim of arbitrary detention in the london embassy. all of the big sports stories are coming up for you, a big 20 league in dubai, helping it will revive the day they are home. >> it is undoubtly going to be a tough job, but diplomates are still working behind the scenes to try to rescue the syrian peace process after talks were suspended on thursday. amido a renewed syrian army offensive, with russian air support.

they are being asked to prepare for the long term by helping refugees in major countries. to boost the prospects of work and education for syrians living outside syria, 4.6 million syrians now live in neighboring countries sump as turkey, lebanon, jordan, and iraq. the theory is that improving conditions will stop them, perhaps traveling on to europe. syrians counted for 43% or. >> than 1 million refugees that arrive misdemeanor the last year. my colleague is at that conference, money promised or money already received and where would it go? >> you are right to sound a note of skepticism, the promises have been impressive here, but we have seen a track record at previous

conferences in relation to syria. where the actual delivery has not been equal to the promises. ironically, why we were being asked the ever so much today, because there is a bag lock of needs. how will it be spend in a variety of ways in partially, of course, there is still an on doing emergency people are starving. people are strapped in some parts of syria, so some of that money goes on food, some of it goes on shelter. immediate humanitarian need, but there's also an acknowledgement that this is not going away and therefore you have to look at the long term needs of the millions of syrians in neighboring countries. i am talking about jobs and opportunities.

there are investments in the future of displaced syrian people, that will go on for years. i have been watching the days events unfold here at the conference in west menster. >> the u. n. calls it the worst humanitarian crisis since the second world war, and it is very difficult to see how it is doing to end. the failure of talks made this gathering all the more urgent, the opening speeches all the more somber. >> the presentation inside of syria is calls for help as we are likely to find on this earth. we are the most able from leaving the country, and they need that they can do more, than just to survive. >> there is a depressing assumption that the syrian crisis will be with us for some time to come.

and therefore, donors immediate to look at long time assistance, education and employment for millions in the long years before they can return home. from turkey and jordan, stark warnings. they cannot carry on looking after millions without more assistance. looking into the eyes of my people, and seeing the hardship and disstress they carry, i must tell you we have reached our limit the people of jordan their well being are my first priority, our country will continue to do what we can do to help those in need. but it cannot be at the expense of our own people's welfare. >> so there's something of a grand bargain. donors give mark aid to syria's neighbors and in return, they open up labor

markets and ensure more children go to school. as the prime minister told me about one of the participants in the war, the real solution is peace. we need to have confidence building measures. that means that russia has to take responsibility to make sure that there's a possibility for this peace negotiation. i don't think russia would like to stay on forever, in an expensive war many syria. >> european countries in particular have marry own reasons to give generously, by making live tolerable in the region, that perhaps less likely to seek asylum in europe. this conference may alleviate syria'sing any it is hard to believe that it will bring a lasting solution any closer. and indeed the reason why so much of that money is needed

is because the war continues. there is for example a new government offensive against syrian fighters and packed by russian air strikes mentioned there by the norwegian prime minister, they are making major gains. and the province, for example, government forces with russian soldiers have been able to push fighters out towards the border. russian air strikes helped to reach the pro government in aleppo province. aleppo now largely surrounded by government forces. the city itself that is in the main supply rout to and from the border. aleppo is divided from the many opposition controlled east and the government controlled west. more now from the turkish city. >> the government offensive in the northern country side is not over yet they have

managed to lift the siege on the towns. but what the government wants to do is emcircle the controlled district of aleppo city. aleppo is a guided city, the government controls the west, what the government has managed to do is cut the supply lines from the rebel controlled parts to the turkish border, so now it wants to lay a siege and we what understand a this this heavy fighting just north of aleppo city, that rogue village is vital for the opposition survival. the government wants to cut back to encircle the city. now undoubtly, the government offensive has been a set back for the opposition. they are now on the defense, they are defending territory as much as they can. the northern countries is strategic for both sides but what we understand from programming voices is that they want to reach the border because the border has been the lifeline for the opposition for the past few years.

mow civilians are caught in the cross fire. what we understand from the syrian observatory, more than 40,000 people have fled their homes over the past few days. some of them went to the kurdish area, others went to the western country side of aleppo, and other went to the border, as of yet, they haven't crossed into turkey, the border remains vealed. we do know that turkey face as will the of pressure. it has 2.5 million refugees in this country, but they do allow emergency cases to cross. so 40,000 people, suffering the offensive continued on the ground, the opposition now on to the defense while the government continues this massive offenseny the country side of aleppo. >> they said the russian air strikes are undermining any political attempts to surround to the war.

351 air strikes against syrians at the airport. if this continues if there is a corridor, all of us but more concentrate will be responsible for humanitarian disaster, and nobody will be able to convince people of the opposition of syria, to come to the table again. >> we have the turkish prime minister there, talking about the situation on the border between his country and syria in london, they were talking about getting help to the refugees let's go back to barnabie phillips in central london. i believe you can help us get more on what specifically needs to be done and where. >> yes.

he is the spokes man for the u.n. agency specifically mandated to help palestinian refugees, but he knows the situation well overall. don't forget that prior to the war beginning there were i think just over half a million palestinian refugees in syria, obviously many of them have been displaced, fled to neighboring countries or displaced within syria itself. let's look at the big picture first, you come away from this conference encouraged more optimistic about the welfare of these people? >> we are deeply grateful for the community coming up with this money. as david cameron himself said, it is unprecedented so in that respect it is a very good day, international humanitarian assistance is never a replacement for rights and dignity. so for example, we are still unable to get to large areas of syria, take the -- the refugee camp, in damascus, we

have had access to that since march of last year. so yes we are very grateful, but we need to look for action, we need action to get through these sieges and to deliver what has been promised to people who are dying, frankly. >> how quickly could it make a difference anyway? even if it did materialize instantly, are we talking about new employment opportunities? new educational opportunities well that's more complex than just dropping food or relieving a siege, isn't it? >> it is indeed. it is uniquely well placed, we have 3,000 staff across the country, so we are very well placed to get it moving very quickly to get it to people on the drowned, so we educate thousands of people. we are appealing for a

230,000 people cache. so we can get that moving very very quickly, the question really is the longer term development. what next, without the prospect of genuine peace, what does this really mean? so yes, we are grateful, but we need political action as well, and look at what has happened in geneva. >> specific hi responsible for the palestinian community in syria, is it your understanding that they will be eligible for all the sorts of benefits that other syrian refugees will be eligible for? but to be clear, the

palestinians are second class citizens there are now tight border restrictions so many can't come through at all. but many inside the pro vince and legal status, they are very very vulnerable, pause they already have access to jobs. so the palestinians from syrian coming in have an added layer so yes, but aid is not a substitute for rights and dignities so we are delighted by this conference, what we immediate is political action to restore rights. >> we have always said that the time for humanitarian action alone is long passed we need political action, only that can bring the rights and justice that the people of syria are crying out for. >> spokesman for the united

nations, thank you david, back to you. >> okay, hopefully some hope for tomorrow. at that conference, barnabie phillips and everybody else thank you very much. you are watching the al jazeera news hour, we have these stories in just a moment, an israeli court handing down a sentence, or sentencing to two teenagers found guilty of murdering a palestinian teenager. we are all to scotland where the dramatic price of oil has put tens of thousands out of work. >> six months after winning the world cup, the football team find themselves in a legal battle with their own federation. given way the sides are aligned is certainly different factions are aligned in that war with iran, perhaps backing the regime of saudi arabia, perhaps backing a great many

of the difference fractions taking on the government, interesting to see that in london we have iran's foreign minister and i believe he has been on that topic in that relationship between iran and saudi arabia, let's hear from him. >> at though people may differ, we can resolve issues and we did. for 37 years of bag gauge, between iran and the united states, we are able to at least resolve this particular issue which was probably keeping the two sides. in a confrontational situation.

with the possibility of getting even worse. i believe it is doable, and we in iran are able to do it sooner better than later. >> thank you. >> wells that a little bit of a postscript to our extended coverage of events in syria, the thousands of the iranian foreign minister says if we can solve our differences as the country we once called the great satan, then in our region where we are friends where we are brothers we can sort that out too. >> it is the third major

attack in as many days one bomb going off and targeting in rah mamadi, which is where fighting has continued for months. the certain attack was in falujjah, and it also targeted a government base now it is under siege from iraqi forces and the people who live there could well be facing a humanitarian crisis even the most basic supplies are running out. our correspondent. >> these pictures from august of the last time any footage was scene from inside fa lavaja. back then, heavy shelling forces on the isil held town of civilians who buried their dead. now the situation is everybody worse. iraqi security forces completely kurt off the town and supplies of food and other basic necessities are running out.

he has taken a great risk speaking to us. >> now days they don't have the pacic necessities for life. imagine a sax of 50-kilos would cause 900 u.s. dollars and sometimes it is not available at all. some residents have to sell their cars just to buy wheat for fair families. one military analyst says the government has little choice but to lay siege to the town. >> there are no alternative plans all the available plans by secure forces are either to break in and cause huge civilian casualties or shelling it by mortars or air strikes and that would cause catastrophic results by losing basic paragraph and human lives. >> not all agree, however,

due to the on going fighting that the government has made a plea for food supplies to be air dropped into the city. redses are leaving the district where they have been killed for nearly two months. the buildings have been destroyed, the turkish army has been trying to take control of areas are the forces of the p.k.k. are active. that curfew remains in other parts of the area. the italian communist newspaper says an italian men

found dead was writing for it under a pseudonym. he disappeared on the twenty-fifth of january and his body has been found by a road bearing signs of torture. the editor says he told him he feared for his life. the libyan italian government summons the am bandore to express it's concern. italy's demanding a joint investigation into the death of the man that was identified as a student. israel supreme court has suspended the suspension of a journalist who has been on a hunger strike for more than two months. protesting that allows israel to hold suspects without trial. the courtesies the order was suspended due to his poor health, but he is not allowed to leave the hospital without mer mission. >> two israeli teenagers found guilty of murdering a palestinian, the teenagers have been sentenced,

16-year-old was kidnapped beating and burned to death in 2014. one of the convicted teens receive add life sentence, the other was handed 21 years in jail. our correspondent in west jerusalem. >> well, the family of mohammad have reacted angrily to sentencing, at 1 point his mother stood up and started shouting a t the courts saying that the sentences are too lenient, that one of the sentencing rather one of the minor whose was sentenced to 21 years in prison will likely be out in just a few years time because of israel's appeal process. saying that her son is never coming back, now the background of this is a third man who is accused in this case, his name is joseph ben david, he is 31 years old, and is an israeli settler, he has been ruled or rather

found by the courts to have led the killing of mohammad, but the reason he hasn't been convicted or sentenced is because his lawyers have filed an insanity plea. now the court has yet to rule on that, so while the family is no doubt very upset, by the sentencing of these two minors their ordeal is far from over. >> reporting there, a united nations league panel is going to rule that the wikileaks foundser a victim of what is called arbitrary detention. and that's been abated by the swedish government he is wanted in sweden the panel will officially announce it's

findings on friday the lawyers say if u.n. ruled in his favor sweden should drop the case. >> i see no other way out of this for swede and the prosecutor but to cancel the decision to detain him in absentia, and to close the case. dropped the suspension and close to preinvestigation over in my firm opinion. if he wins tomorrow. >> if he wins let us hear now from my colleague lee barker. >> it is a very critical time, he has been holed up here in the ecuadorian embassy in central london, for more than three years now. he of course is waiting for the official results of an appeal lodged with the united

nations arbitrary detention body back in 2014. the official findings are expected at 11:00 p.m. on friday, although we already have a good sense that the u.n. will rule in his favor. if the ruling was in his favor he would call for the passport to be returned and if safe passage if the appeal fails he said he would come out from the embassy, because all of this appeals by that point would have been exhausted, the big question is whether or not the u.n. findings will have any impact at all on the british government, so they this wasn't an arbitrary detention. they said it was a voluntary decision to stay on to avoided detention by the police. the great accusations that he faces in sweden, they are duty bound to extradite him.

>> there have been violent clashes in greece during a nationwide strike the process to a virtual stand still, many facing their fury which have been agreed by the government and by greece's foreign lenders, some protestors threw stones and set fire to cars the measures include pension reforms and salary cuts let's hear from john who is among it all. >> this is the third general strike since these are capitulated to austerity. unlike the other two, it has broad support from the country side. they are angry about the government proposed social security overall. it will charge 1 million taxpayers 27% of their income for health coverage and pension issues effectively,

government taxation. for farmers say abiding by the law would put them out of abate. fascinating the man that pleaded the fifth, the accusations of his former company raise h.i.v. drug prices by 5000%. we hear from carolina panthers that's a team, not a lady, about plans to become the biggest stars in the nfl.

these are the national headlines. panicky moon warned the

warring parties to unite the reasons. and international conference attended in london raised promises of more than $10 million. >> and police in the greek capitol use tear gas on thousands during a strike against economic reform. syria is our pig story tonight, as it is on many occasions, take a look at this, tens of thousands of people threing aleppo, that is the big city in the north of the country. well we heard from one neighborhood alone, at least 40,000 have decided to get out after what is a three day offensive by the syrian government. and with russian air strikes backing that up, turkey's prime minister said more than 300 of those air strikes came

from russia and they are thought to be headed towards the turkish boarder. so these are people getting out of aleppo as soon as they can, and staying in syria, the humanitarian situation of the besieged town in the country where you imagine it is very very desperate. these are exclusive pieces obtained from al jazeera. two women were told dies of malnutrition on thursday, 19 are reported to have starved to death since. the vonn kay went in mid january, doctors without borders estimated more than 300 people are malnourished. we are off to the syrian capitol, spoke with the international community of the red cross, you and people you work with have been into another town where they desperately needed help, that is called mudan mia, what did

you find? when you got there? >> well, first of all, we need to enter to see the desperation of those people as soon as we arrive and so the zone between the last government check point, and the opposition check point as a gauge. 10,000s of people gathered from -- the besieged town only because they heard that the red cross and would bring some food. after very lengthy negotiations, we managed to distribute food this very proper zone because of the people gathering there people are really desperate, desperately need -- coming to get this food, we distributed it for 20,000 people, and then we ended inside the

town, to this to the local structures. pablo, just for our viewers benefit we are looking at pictures with uh the situation, equally desperate, when you came to leave and knowing that there would be people you are leaving behind, it must have been heart breaking? >> it is always heartbreaking. it is heart breaking when we were leaving what we do there it is just a drop in the ocean, we managed to serve to bring the food to 12,000 people yesterday, while how thousand people are still awaiting for our aid. that is why we need to return there to bring the medicines

to the hospital pause this is what the people need there. >> are you seeing a change in attitude? because i noticed from something that was put down preinterview. that you were encouraged by getting into other places and you thought it was actually becoming slightly easier to do so, is that the case? well, i don't know if that's the case. i hope it is. i hope not for me, or the red cross, not for our main partners here, i hope for the people. right now is to access the people living in besieged towns. in the places are the humanitarian aid is not reaching people on the regular basis, really we have to believe and we also have to come back, because otherwise we will be facing people we will not be offering a solution for the

longer problems we will not be leading the treatment, they need their children need, we will not be able to stabilize their already very very dire situation. we wish you luck, talking to us from damascus, about what little help can be delivered to the people in the towns in syria, now we have this breaking news for you, saudi arabia is apparently offered to participate with ground troops in any operation against isil, that's according to a spokesman for the saudi military, we will bring you more on that just as soon as we get it ourselves. you will probably be aware that all the way around the world, oil producing countries and companies are reeling from the record plunge in the price of that product. on thursday, shell announces cutting 10,000 jobs the

budgets of the country, central london qaadir, mexico, saudi arabia and canada are many the red, they are in deficit, and big oil is now cutting jobs in capitol spending in response to plunging revenues. b.p. is reporting the worst annual loss in 20 years. some winners among the largest oil importers and because it is cheap, it doesn't cost as much obviously. since they started pumping oil, north sea oil, off the east coast of scotland has been a strong contributor to the u.k. economy, but more than 65,000 jobs have been

lost in over a year, emma went to the oil industry heart land to meet some of those who have been effected. >> they should be far out many the north sea. instead they are waiting for the next job, if it ever comes. with 30 years experience to scotland's oil industry, put a few weeks ago was told his contract would be finishing months early. his family is a casualty of the global oil crisis slump. >> people are saying well it costs so much less to fill up the car. people don't realize that the cost of fuel coming down has an impact on the number of jobs out there. >> the discovery of oil out

there in the north sea, more than 40 years ago, has held billions of dollars of revenue for the whole of the u.k., it also changed the forges of some people living here, this crisis then has been felt both on and offshore. further south, the city which became rich on black goaled, britain's oil capitol is suffering though, with jobs going and many more at risk. >> we are seeing retail activity down, we are seeing hotel occupancy down. so it is very real, and very presence at the moment in terms of the impact on the industry, and the communities that support the i have. >> it is now diversitying into new markets.

we are focusing on nuclear real utilities. other areas that necessarily are not effected by oil prices. >> mrs. a sense here that the industry is entering uncharters waters this is believed to be half as much oil left in the north sea than has already been extracted. but the oversupply of energy, it might be politics that determines the future of the industry in scotland. this is a fascinating story, where a former drugs company executive remember the name martin -- he is refused to testify to a house committee. over controversial indeed, we

will tell you why in a second. now he took the fifth amendment, that's the right to remain silent in front of a committee. because he was being -- raising the price by more than 5000% last august, i understand that it went from 1 dollar as pill to $750 a pill. he is currently out on bail. another of his former companies. my colleague with me following the event in washington, d.c., and not only did he keep quiet, but he then mocked members of the panel i understand. >> yes, he is very much the poster boy right now for the excesses of the pharmaceutical industry, and it is difficult to suggest he may have done inning for damage control.

he refused to answer any of the questions the one drug available to deal with this parasitic virus that effects cancer patients. not only that he was accused of smirking and treating the committee with disrespect you can perhaps judge for yourself, whether that was the case, his lawyer afterwards said he was just a bit nervous, but then having been excused he tweeted the following just a few minutes after he left congress, he tweeted it's hard to accept that these embusiness sills represent the people in our government. word got through about the tweet, and you can imagine it wasn't received terribly well. >> as i understand it, one of the members of congress so furious was he by what he had hear, tweeted him back and began banging his fists on the table. there was a lot of heated

words but it wasn't just against him, we have to remember that this is about more than just people like him, hedge funders, people who get upset about the money before, they swoop many in a predatory fashion. they buy drugs preferably ones that have no other competition and raise the prices. that compares to about $830, in europe, and it is price wise seems to be the norm of the top 30 drugs in the u.s. between 2010 and 2013, i believe, the prices have gone up by 76%, something is going on here, which is meaning that the u.s. pay as lot more for prescription drugs the drug company some of who were represented say no we need that money not just for shareholder value but to ensure we can do more

research, as one congressman mentioned there, that's a bit of a false argument, because most basic researchers got in the public sector, and promise these companies swoop in and get all the prospects. it has now become an election issue, saying they will do something about prescription drugs but the major issue is not just about his rather interesting attitude to being held accountability. that's the question question leave with you. thank you very much. south koreans well they are among the biggest drinkers on earth. no other people many the world consume more hard liquor, and that's giving public health officials a headache. alcohol abuse is an increasing cause for concern. steve reports. on patrol with south korean police, officer hazel chung and her partner have been called to this shop.

day, and with youth suicide rates here the highest in the developed world, she says drinking is good, for mental health. >> do you ever see a day when south koreans will drink less? >> absolutely not. liquor is something that is shared between friends and family. i think korean drinking culture is very uplifting. so i don't think the day will have ever come, nor should it. al jazeera, seoul. >> tune in to get the entire picture with the full investigation, part of our 101 east program, that is south korea's hangover, that's 2230 g.m.t. here on al

politics. >> so therefore there is a substantial chunk of money that needs to be given to the government. unfortunately, they are not willing to do that, because they believe that they are gaining a lot of political mileage by orchestrating these strikes and blaming the state government, the state government has not only this. >> it has left people caught in the middle. >> to the municipalities that cover these salaries to last month, the workers here are demanding a long term solution that will not outvehicle again in a few months. al jazeera, deli. what happened when a wind suffering took on the biggest wave ms. the world. details coming up.
