>> this is al jazeera. >> hello there, this is the news hour live from london. coming up, saudi arabia says it is redirect examinationdy to send frowned troops to syria to participate in any operation in the u.s. led coalition, this as the government offensive drives thousands from aleppo, and world leaders pledge more than $10 billion to help the people of syria. italy summons the jinx ambassador after a missing student shows up dead showing signs of torture. sweden say as panel has

decided that julian is unlawfully detained in a london empasssy. german police says carnival gets underway in colon. >> in doha with all of the sport news for you, including on the day, big changes are announced to the way world ticket is run. hoping it will revive again back home. >> we begin this hour with the announcement from saudi arabia, that it is ready to sound ground troops to syria to take part in any operation in the u.s. led coalition. hay say the kingdom is willing to provide support on the drowned, alongside coalition air vehicles which have been targeting the islamic state of iraq for the past 17 monos. he did not say how many troops would be sent.

more on this now live from washington, obviously this is a message aimed at the united states, put the u.s. led coalition, but mainly the u.s., what reaction if any from the state department? >> well, first, the reaction is that the the officials here at the u.s. state department need to take a closer look at what brigadier general was saying in that interview earlier on thursday barbara but they do say that certainly if they want to increase their contribution to the coalition efforts to defeat isil, both inside iraq and certainly inside syria the u.s. would welcome it, however, when it comes to the specific question as to important ground troops may be advisable to have inside a country where the u.s. itself has said it is not going to deploy it's own drowned forces well that is something

they are saying that he need to take a closer look at and consult with their counter parts over at the pentagon. now, the this part, we are getting word that the defense secretary who was visiting troops on the u.s. west coast, is indicating that he is aware of the reports of the saudi offer to send in ground forces and that certainly it would be a matter of discussion when he and others involved in the coalition mote in just about a week's time. >> and, of course, this comes against the back drop of talks rying to find some kind of solution being suspended for a few weeks, we have also seen advances by the syrian government, aided by russian air vehicle spues aleppo. how worries is the u.s. about these on the ground? >> well, one -- for one, yonker by said two reporters earlier on thursday, that everybody though the u.s. understands that this u.n.

led negotiation is supposed to resume on february 25th, 3 weeks from today, the u.s. would very much like to see those talks resume much sooner. they want to get these talks doing, they are calling on the russian military to stop attack opposition forces inside syria, and to focus their energy if they are going to be inside syria, focus that energy on attacking isil targets. it is a very volatile situation, but the u.s. is still trying to say that talking that diplomacy is going to be the way to resolve this, not on doing military efforts, at least when it comes to resolving

the civil war inside syria, not the separate fight rosalyn jordan with the latest thank you. which turkey's prime minister was backed by 350 air strikes. the city is now surrounded from forces from the south, and east, following advances and their allies. more now on the syrian border. >> hundreds of families have been forced from their homes displaced as a result of the on going government offensive in the northern country side. pictures have emerged, dramatic pictures of people heading towards the border in search for safety.

what we understand is that some people headed to the country side, thousands of others took shelter in the kurdish enclave, which is in northern syria, and thousands of others headed towards the turkish border crossing what is known. we don't have exact numbers put according to the syrian observe story, up to 14,000 people have been displaced in the past few days, and their situation is dire. people are talking about heavy russian aerial bombardment. there has been civilian casualties over the past two days, people are scared and they are appealing to turkey to open the border. turkey has an open door policy, but over the last year, there have been stricting restrictions imposed, and the fact that turkey carries a heavy burden that order has been opened for emergency cases like i said there have been stricter restrictions. these people are appealing so that they can cross the border and at the same time,

massive displacement. this government offensive hasn't even began. yes, they have broken the siege, but the army is eyeing wider territorial gains. they want to encircle the opposition held districts and what we also understand is that their aim is is to reach the border, because this is a way to weaken opposition. reach the border which has been their lifeline for so many years. >> that's the situation on the ground, meanwhile billions of dollars have been pledged to help syrians in need both inside and outside the war torn country. at a conference in london, 60 countries committed to give well over $10 billion for life saving aid four point 6 million syrians now live in neighboring countries like turkey, jordan, and iraq. the theory is proving conditions in these countries will stop the refugees wanting to travel on to europe. syrians accounted for 43% or

the more than 100 refugees. barnabie phillips has more now on the conference in london. >> the u.n. calls it the worst humanitarian crisis since the second world war, new pictures from inside the town show a fragile young girl, apparently malnourished. and the body of a woman, a man is heard saying down with the u.n. and the talk of human rights. well, here the london there was much talk, but also at least the promise of action in the form of an enormous aired package. a upbeat note was struck at the end. >> today has been and is a day of hope, a day about saving lives, a day about building futures, a day about giving people the chance of a future. the chance of a life. >> there is the depressing assumption behind that, this the crisis will be with us

for some time to come, and therefore, they node to look at long term assistance education and employment for millions in the long years before they can return home. from turkey, lebanon, 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 other. i represent the people of jordan. their well being and safety are my first priority. our country will continue to do what we can do to help those indeed. but i cannot be at the expense of our own people's wealth. >> so there's something of a grand bargain on offer here, donors give more aid to the neighbors and in return they open up labor markets and

ensure more syrian children two to school. as the norwegian prime minister told me in pointed remarks about one of the participants the real solution, is peace. >> confident building in syria, that means that the fighting has to decrease, and russia has to take responsibility to make sure there's a possibility for in negotiation. i don't think russia would like to stay on forever, in an expensive war in syria. >> but european countries in particular, have their own reasons to give generously here this corn finance made alleviate thing any, it is hard to believe that it will bring a lasting solution an closer. al jazeera in central london

our diplomatic editor reports. >> there's no doubt the conference in london was somewhat overshadowed. as well as the business of raising money for the dark situation, the diplomates were dealing with another crisis, the first attempt at talks between the syrian government and the opposition for two years, lasted just a few days. the talks put on hold after being undermined by a massive military operation by the syrian government, backed by the aerial bombardment by russia. opposition members are not just incensed by that, they can't understand why u.s. secretary of state john kerry isn't being stronger than his condemnation, here just quoting the relevant u.n. security council resolution. how about anywhere teen?

demands, that all parties immediately crease any attacks against civilians and civilian objects as such. including attacks against medical facilities and personnel and any indiscriminate use of weapons including through shelling, and aerial bombardment. >> russia has a responsibility as we all do parties to live up to it. >> his comments are very different from those made by the man standing next to him. earlier this week, he suggested russia might be helping the regime create a new ministate, dominated by the religious sect to which the asaad family belongs. at the london conference, the prime minister of the country his relations with russia have in recent months hit rock bottom, says will it be very hard to resume the geneva talks. >> we have a hard time to convince the opposition to

support the effort in spite of the siege, and humanitarian crimes being committed there, but this time lit much more difficult our job i spoke to the special envoy as he arrived here, he said he wanted to give up full assessment to his boss, over the current situation the u.n. insiders tell me they know will it be extremely difficult to get the opposition back to the negotiating table, but they say postponing these talks was the only chance of keeping this process alive. >> al jazeera, london. >> the u.s. ambassador has defended the united states effort to end the syrian conflict samantha powers says her team at the u.n. has been working 24 hour as day to try to get access to the besieged areas we have a

responsibility to get food to those people, we have called out russia and the syrian regime for doing what it is doing, what we have not done, which appears to be what you are asking for is gone to were with the regime. you have heard president obama speak to that over a long period of time. he does not have confidence, particularly in the war in iraq, that going to war in syria is going to bring about the political solution that we all seek we have used every tool in the tool box, short of getting involved militarily, and bombing the regime to try to bring this to an end. >> at least 28 soldiers have been killed by isil attacks in anbar province it is the third major attack in as many days. one car bomb targeted army barracks in ramadi that's where fighting has continues for months despite the claim that it controlled 95% of the city. the second attack also target

add government base. by phone we spoke to a resident trapped inside the city, he has taken a great risk speaking to us as isil has banned all communication. >> now days they don't have the basic necessities for life. imagine a sack of fifth kilos would cost nearly 900 u.s. dollars and sometimes it is not available at all. some residents have to sell

them just to wait wheel 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 funds by security 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 infrastructure and human lives. he seems to be the lone voice. >> so far, aid agencies haven't commented oen the siege, as the government aren't allows journalists to visit the town, what is clear is the situation is desperate, and if i continues it will become a humanitarian disaster.

al jazeera, baghdad. >> coming up in this news hour, an israeli court has found sentencing to two israeli teenagers found guilty of murdering a palestinian teenager. alexis with a nationwide walk out over cuts. they find themselves in a legal bat with their own federation. >> a prominent newspaper says a student found debt. went eight-year-old disappeared on january forty-five, nine days later his body was found dumped from a road. the editor says he had told him that he feared for his

life. when president morsi of the muslim brotherhood was toppled. well to discuss the situation in egypt, i am joined from washington. he is with the middle east and north africa division of human rights watch, thank you for joining us here on al jazeera. so first of all, what do you make of the deaths in especially considering that he disappeared on january 25th, which is the anniversary of the revolution, and that it since transpired and was also working there as a journalist? >> well, that's the thing, we don't have confirmed information so far, about what happened. what we know is the context is very troubling and raising question, that same day of the revolution, in egypt, and during that same day, more than 5,000 homes and apartments were raided in kairo alone. by the recognition of the police itself. they said that the houses

they raided were owned or occupied by people they suspected of various wrongdoings. and only because they were related one way or another to the january 5 revolution. so there is a mas.sive crack down it might have been linked to this. >> of course as you say there's a lot we don't know about the circumstances of the disappearance, and of course, we do of course know he was italian, and by mere virtue of the fact that he was not jones, he is a foreigner, we are talking about it now, he is in the headlines and he has been talked about around the world, but tell us a little bit about the situation, with disappearances with egyptians at least when it comes to journalists, we are talking about dozens that have been arrested.

>> we are talking about hundreds who disappeared. and actually there's -- an egyptian coordination for rights and freedoms. for 2015 alone, claiming that more than 1,000 people have been forcibly disappeared. and between august and november, they say that people disappeared at an average rate of three a day. there's another organization called a freedom that follows the cases of many that were arrested. that counted 165 disappearances in only two months so the situation is really tragic right now. of course, whenever the police is asked about these cases they flat deny any relation with them. but two weeks ago something interested happened.

so the situation when it comes to the disappearances and violations is just catastrophic by now. way more serious than it was under the rule of former president. >> very privately, if you can, there's very strong diplomatic links between egypt and italy, now the italian government wants to be part of the investigation, what is egypt's track record when it comes to investigating disappearances and killings like this one? >> well, we will see if this commission will be independent, we certainly hope it is, otherwise it will not be credible. but we certainly ask for an independent commission, and i think the italians are sticking to the same thing. >> mohammad middle east and north african division, thank

you for sharing your views with us. >> the supreme court has suspended the sentence of a prisoner that has been on a hunger strike for 72 days. in protest that allowed to hold suspects without trial. the detention order was suspended due to his poor health. >> listen, please, don't be fool bedty israeli decision. don't let the call for solidarity die, we are oversoulerring. all of us, all the people used to tell me, although we are crushed, that they are astonished by our plight. please tell the world, my morale is high. put my body is very feeble, i am able to collapse, but i have hope thanks to god. >> two israeli teenagers found guilty of murdering a palestinian teenager have been sentenced.

16-year-old palestinian was kidnapped beaten and burned to death in 2014. one of the convicted teens received a life sentence, the other was sentenced to 21 years in prison. we have this update. >> the family has reacted angry to the sentencing, in fact at 1 point, his mother stood up and started shouting at the courts saying that the sentences are too lenient, that one of the sentencing rather one of the minors that was sentenced to 21 years will be out many just a few years time. >> 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 is that his lawyers have fouled an insanity plea. their ordeal is far from over. >> they say a u.n. legal panel will rule on friday that wikileaks founder is a victim of arbitrary detention. he has been in the embassy for more than four years. after 3 1/2 years holed up in the embassy. >> as wikileaks bows under pressure.

>> to the arbitrary detention group in 2014, claiming that his stay at the embassy was effectively a detention. because if he fries to leave, he faces media rest. the group here is almost certain to rule in his favor, it presents the official findings on friday, one of the swedish lawyers is now calling for his immediate release. i see no other way out of this. and the prosecutor to rebut to cancel the decision, to detain him in absentia and to close the case. >> the swedish government already says that it disagrees with the ruling so too does the u.k. it is unclear what influence if any the u.n. findings are likely to have on the british government, who say this isn't an unlawful detention or an arbitrary detention, but is instead a voluntary

decision to evade arrest by staying on here in the embassy. the british government also says they are obliged to extradite him because of serious allegations of rape in sweden. >> he denied the allegations he believed he will be handed over to washington if he is sent to sweden, and has agreed to face questioning but only from within the embassy, and only by prosecutors. the organization posted thousands of secret american government files on the internet, exposing classified and often embarrassing details about world governments. he has always said he believed the embassy if he lost his appeal, he is now expected to demand the right to travel to central london qaadir, where he has been granted asylum. as the ruling isn't legally binding the police say they will make every effort to arrest him. al jazeera, in the embassy, london. >> some protestors threw

stones at police, and set fire to cars, the protests proud@thens to a virtual stand still, as people express their anger at austerity measures. more now from athens. >> this is the third general strike. like the others it's been initiated by the communist party, which has a vested interest in showing off the government. but unlike the other two, it has broad support from the class and the country's side. they are angry about the government's proposed social security overhaul it would charge 1 million taxpayers, effectively doubling their taxation. freelance professionals and farmers say that abiding by the law would put them out of

physical. and that would obviously undermine the very purpose of the law which is to balance the government. >> still to come in this hour, a scientific scramble in brazil to find a way to fight the zika virus. pleading the fifth, what this man did and didn't say to accusations that his former government hiked drug prices by 5000%. and in sport, ahead of super bowl l, we hear from carolina panthers quarterback cam newton, about his plans to become the biggest star.

>> . >> turns the crisis into an

opportunity. >> the lobbies says it has behaved in a far less horrible way, than some of the neighbors and why should they be in the union and we are not. and of course the biggest iremy is that they are arguing this is exactly the point when they are starting to collapse, and serbia may be forced to -- while not even being in the european union. >> they spend the time lobbying for serbia. the broken systems are different for them. >> we have shown high levels of humanity, and treated migrants better than some members of the european union, we have shown we are qualified to join serbia has a problem, it has nowhere to house a few hundred, let alone a few thousand refugees and those here sleep in the path of the bus station, so what happens when they start expelling more and more.
