rise in goods because roads are cut, merchants are profiting. most of the supplies are coming from the west. our supplies are low, we don't have enough. we have enough for a few days. >> reporter: it's not known how many of the 3,000 in the east left. there are those two poor to pay for a ride out. a siege in a city devastated by years of war. >> the syrian government and allies have not managed to lay siege to the aleppo city. the only road leading into the neighbourhoods. russian air power allowed the government to advance towards the border with turkey. they have expanded their control, entering town after town as they try to reach the strong hold, 25km from the border. the rebels have been fighting back. on many fronts they had to

withdraw because of heavy bombardment. people are concerned. they have started to leave the main place of refuge for those displaced by the recent area. there are those that have not lost hope. activists return to the streets from where the activists began. >> we are calling on commanders and united people. else we tell them that the people will remove them from power they had another message.

millions of refugees and controls the influx by keeping the border shut. talk on how to end the matter my be fruitless. thousands of people will have no choice but to leave we are off to berlin, we are joined from there. an expert in human rights diplomacy and refugee protection. when i look at the picture of 30,000, a small part of the millions in a similar position, i look at them at the border with turkey, and you think that these people are part of a hideous game of diplomacy, tit for tat. in this case it happens to be turkey and germany. what are these countries playing at? >> well, hi, first of all. so i don't think that these people are just diplomatic pass in a game that is - that doesn't

really see what the rules are. what i think is that germany is under real pressure, and the whole e.u. is under pressure politically to stem the flow, as you said it in the report. and turkey knows that it has to deliver, if it wants to continue support of the e.u., and is trying to play time a little bit, to gain some time before it let's new people in. it's basically - it's kind of finding a balance of deterrence and allowing humanitarian - i mean, allowing people in for humanitarian motives. this gaining time is dangerous from the humanitarian perspective. from the political perspective, it is clear what happens. >> it sounds they are used as pawns, whichever way you look at it.

it seems to be a massive miscalculation from merkel to say everyone join the party and realise as far as public opinion is concerned, in practical terms, that was not going to work. >> that's one way of seeing it. the other way is that there'd been almost a humanitarian catastrophe on board. and for concern of europe acted trying to avoid that within the middle of europe. i don't really think this whole discussion of whether merkel or the german refugee policy created the whole sector. we do see in research that people come anyway, and then it's not sort of facebook selfies that ultimately trigger the decision to flee war.

>> if she fails to short this out. will she have extended it to the whole of europe and the european project. >> merkel has become probably the figure head of a certain refugee or some gained of rest in europe. if she fails it it will be fabulous. the loss of the schengen zone, the future of refugee protection. the progress in the talks. it's first the cooperation between frontax and the turkish boarder guards. and second, it's a quota system. where e.u. countries admit

refugees in return of attention by the turks. here we see some kind of movement, and how this plays out for vining a european solution. thank you. thank you for talking to us from berlin you are with us on al jazeera for the newshour. we have this coming up. it's a war of independence how voters not tied to a political party could decide a presidential election in the first primary. and now falling commodity prices are flattening south african mine jobs we have the sport. mark cavendish, british cycler, securing his first win of the year.

himself in a difficult position. last week's supreme court ruling means there's no longer any legal channels for the case to be heard, leaving it to the government or military to intervene. >> i think they are both concerned with the implication of ending the administrative detention, because that could encourage others to begin hunger strike as well. at the same time. they are hopefully more concerned for him, not wanting him to die in detention. >> reporter: on sunday it was revealed he was offered a deal by the army that would have seen him released on may 1st. lawyers say he refused out of principle. >> as the stand off continues, the prospect of him dying is becoming real. while israel wants to avoid that, leaders are left with two choices sh dash freeing him

the government maintains the mining sector has a bright future. it hasn't done enough to transform the sector, and aims to create opportunities for women and black south africans. it's using the conference to attract investment in its ailing mining industry. >> africa has a third of the world's natural resources. experts don't predict a change in demand, leaving little room for commodity prices to increase. the question becomes who will survive who analysts call a mining blood bath united nations is urging haiti quickly to form a new government after the president michel martelly stepped down all of a sudden on sunday. parliament has to choose a caretaker president nal a run off election -- until a run-off election can be held. natasha gan an reports from

says her government was not just appalled but horrified at the suffering caused by russian air strikes in syria. recent bombardments moved 30,000 syrians to the border with turkey 30,000 refugees died after boats in which they were travelling sank at least four people including an 8-year-old girl has been rescued in the rubble of a high-rise block during the earthquake in taiwan investigators working for the united nations described syrian detention facilities as amounting to a state policy of extermination. the commissioner of inquiries found the syrians in custody are dying on a massive scale. it found evidence that armed groups have committed war crimes. al jazeera's kristen saloomey has more. and a warning her story starts with disturbing images of people who have died

these images of scorched bodies, amputations and starvation are not new, nor are the accusations that syrian government forces are to blame. a new u.n. report says crimes against humanity have been taking place systematically in syrian detention facilities, amounting to war crimes. >> the scale of debt suggests that the government of syria is responsible for extermination as a crime against humanity, because the deaths are brought out in persuns of a state (per -- per-suance ever a policy to attack the individuals. >> reporter: this man was arrested with his father after taking part in anti-government demonstrations in 2011. >> because i was not giving them enough information that they can use, they brought me to a room.

my father was in front of me, he was on the ground. he couldn't see me. they started to torture him. and the guy hitting my father, he urinated. >> they have denied wrong doing in the past. the syrian ambassador did not pond to a request for -- respond to a request for comment on the report. armed groups are accused of atrocities. they executed the government soldiers who have been captured alive. >> in the armed opposition groups, in the armed extremist group side, they found that people had died in those group's custody, but there was not the same evidence that it was widespread and systematic the authors of the report are calling on the u.n. security council to impose sanctions on the government officials behind the policies, they stopped short of naming names. russia blocked punitive action

against the bashar al-assad government in the past, defending its right to protect itself from terrorist groups. that makes groups here in the future unlikely the united states in saudi arabia says they'll be pushing for an immediate ceasefire in syria, when they gather for talks this week. the saudi arabia prime minister is ready to work with america to bring about a solution to the various conflicts in the middle east. >> we have tremendous stake in stability and peace and security in the region. we have a tremendous stake in trying to resolve the problems before they consume all of us. we are determined to work with our allies in the united states and around the world. to bring this about. in the war against terrorism, whether it's trying to stablilize it. whether it's beginning a

political transition in syria. whether it can bring peace between israelis and palestinians. unfortunately, the region is experiencing many commence, and the revolution is important to the future of the region and the world. >> now to the united states. last week it was iowa, there was a caucus, and now we have the first primary. that is in new hampshire of the u.s. election year. voters will decide which republicans and developments they want on their tickets. as we go to alan fisher, who is in new hampshire. it would be fair to say that bernie sanders, for the democrats, the favourite donald trump is the favourite for the republicans, what would an upset look like here. an upset would look like donald trump's reputation can't stand a

second loss when you declare yourself to be the winningest president america has seen. ted cruz not in the top three is an upset, and it's a toss up who is going to come third between marco rubio, chris christie and john kassig. they are establishment bases for want of a better phrase and are based on the idea that the campaign would have kick started in namp -- new hampshire. at the democratic side, and we are hear at an event that bernie sanders will speak about in an hour in namp. if hillary clinton -- new hampshire, if hillary clinton gets within 15 points of him, that would be a big win. it was new hampshire that saves the campaign, she finishes third in iowa, and by winning here she kept the campaign against then senator president obama going for a few months longer. >> we were at the hillary event. it generated a lot of excitement

and interest. people lining up to get there. the same sort of thing we get here. the weather turned for the worse. it's snowing heavily. people are coming to the college on the outskirts to show support for bernie sanders. all the politicians hope that they can convince independent voters to vote for them. in new hampshire. you can show up at a primary or democrat one. sometimes the power of independence in new hampshire is overstated. >> reporter: it's a state that prides itself on pioneering experience, it says that on the number plate. and they pride themselves on vetting candidates, the election deciding who goes on and who doesn't make the cut. that leaves the candidates chasing the independence. that's difficult. they have to convince the party

faithful that they are true to their beliefs, recruiting others into the voting both. it's estimated 40% of new hampshire voters describe themselves as independence. when it comes to the primary they choose which party to support, and which candidate gets the vote. >> channy is one of them. a former republican. she judges candidates where they stand on issues important for them. >> most are predictable. they stay in the box. independent voters are swayed by different things. that they need to be on top of their game to sway the independent voters. the party line won't do it. there's a growing sense of frustration and disappointment. and for more people calling themselves independence. one analyst believes they don't really switch. >> a lot of research has found

independence, they found they are consistent voters for one party or the other over time. for whatever reason, they think of themselves ass independent saying i'm not an independent. i'm a republic, but i have voted differently the last seven elections. >> it still matters. the independent mindedness matters to the voters. >> winning independence is a test for anyone that wants to be president. candidacy and independent voters are in new hampshire, they don't always win the nomination. it remains an important stop on the road to the white house. independent, independent. those are the voters. what about if an independent candidate came in, what would that do to the race. suggestions are getting stronger, that the former mayor of new york will throw their hat

in. >> well, first of all, you wouldn't have to go through a primary process like this, and you'd be able to sell funds given the money he has. traditionally party runs don't do well. cast your high back to john anderson, to ross piero, and it's thought that when independence runs, they take votes from both parties. half was a third party candidate. he ran. it's thought that al gore did not get the presidency, isn't get enough votes in certain sections in certain parts of the country, because rob was running as a third party candidate. whether you believe it or not. that is the myth built up about the third party candidates. the republicans are weary. there was a feeling that donald trump did not get the nomination for the republican party, he'd

set up his own run. it will be interesting to see if bloomberg gets in. and where he puts his policies on gun law, taking votes from the democrats. on the fiscal policy, he may take it away from republicans. chances of success are slim. in this election cycle. who knows what will happen. the whole rubric has been ripped up and thrown out the window. >> thank you alan fisher in new hampshire more than 4,000 academics sent a letter of protest about an italian student in egypt. a body was found on the outskirts of cairo, and had a broken neck and signs of extreme torture. the cambridge university student was reported missing nine days earlier. the egypt interior minister

chief trading partners in the european union. waves of crisis battering the e.u. bolstered euro kepting opinions on both sides. a welcome boost for pop u lifrts, like the u.k. independence party. >> the e.u. is diminishing economic areas. the g.d.p. is diminishing, and the share of trade is diminishing. there's an enormous and exciting opportunity for countries in particular obviously i'm talking about britain, outside of the e.u. why would you shackle yourself to this declining area? >> no one can accurately predict the consequences of britain's exit from the e.u. there could be an economic blow. it could signal a scottish referendum and the break up of the u.k. it is likely to be an encouraging move for europe's

many and growing populist euro sceptic party. not the least of wife is france's front nation article, the national front. it and partners are thought to have made gains following the 2015 attacks in france. it's no longer traditionally older voters swept up in a discourse involving immigration and terrorism into one since the terrorist attacks last year, they have a new public, including the young that vote for the front national. simply because they are afraid for rad illegal islam, and its ability to kill. >> a satire imagines a france in which marie le pen becomes president. few believe the day will come son, she and the party are no friends of the e.u.

>> translation: we are made up of nation. there's a french, an english and an american nation. that's how things work best. in that context the european context is bad. the euro is bad, and above all, the destruction of borders within europe and at the outer edges is a bad thing. >> reporter: it is a view that resonates with one in three voters, and command a sizeable chunk of the european parliament. while parties push to break up the e.u., the national front and others work from within to degrade its policies and institutions. together they undermine the e.u.'s historic mission of ever closer union catching up with the final instalment of the european disunity series on tuesday. off to finland, they are a country in recession, many
