this is al jazeera. >> hello there i'm julie mcdonald. this is the newshour live from london. coming up. the u.n. says almost 50 civilians died in syria when hospital and schools were hit by attacks, russia blamed. uganda, presidential candidate is arrested just a few

days. the election. pope francis celebrates mass in the country's poorest estate. berlin film festival, iranian moirs showing how life is like amovies showing how life is lik. >> and michel platini shows injustice. >> hello there, a warm welcome to this hour of news. we begin of course in syria. where the civil war appears to be entering a potentially more dangerous phase. a wave of air strikes on schools and hospitals has left at least 50 civilians dead. the strikes hit four hospitals, two in azaz, on the turkish

border an of and two in the idlib problem province, blamed russia. doctors without borders says a hogs it supports was, quote, deliberately hit by air strikes in idlib province. these strikes come despite an agreement last week by russia and other world powers to a pause in hostilities. that deal has been further weakened in comments made by president assad in the last hour. he said a truce doesn't mean each side had to stop using weapons. more on that statement in just a moment but first this report from zeina khodr on the syria turkish border. >> reporter: there is no red line in syria's war. that seems to be the message behind the attacks on azaz near the turkish border. a school, a hospital and other

locations were hit. what the oips say oips oppositie air strike. turkey had called azaz a red line, promised not to let the town fall, because it is being threatened by the ypg, a kurdish armed group ankara calls terrorists. >> translator: the ypg has stepped back from azaz and its area. if they come any closer to azaz they will see the most severe reaction. we will not allow azaz to fall. the whole world should know this. >> attacking ypg positions inside syria to prevent further advances from the ypg and other allies. taking advantage of a russian backed syrian government offensive against the rebels across aleppo province.

the ypg and its allies rejected turkey's ultimatum, instead they are advancing. they've taken the rebel stronghold of tal raffat, and are now at the main opposition base in the northern corridor. they have been able to take ground many say because of support from russian air power. air power is not only being used in aleppo and the rebel controlled province of idlib in the west. another hospital has been destroyed, causing more casualties. provided by doctors without borders, providing services to 40,000 people. the organization called it a deliberate attack, didn't blame anyone other than activists, russian plainrussian planes res. >> since the beginning of the year at least five facilities

have been targeted in syria and many others. need for health facilities are desperate and the population relies on these to get health care. and therefore we obviously denounce when health structures are targeted this way. >> reporter: back in azaz fear is growing among the tens of thousands of syrians. for them, monday's attacks were a message. dozens of families have already left towards turkish border as azaz is no longer safe. instead it has book new front line that could trigger an even larger war. zeina khodr, al jazeera, southern turkey. >> and the u.n. special envoy to syria, staffan de mistura, has arrived, due to meet foreign minister on tuesday, suspended peace talks between warring factions earlier in february but hopes to bring parties to the negotiating table in geneva next week. as we've mentioned russia is

being blamed for those air strikes that killed almost 50 civilians. at the same time, tension between russia and turkey is escalating. there are fears that that will jeopardize the cessation of hostilities in syria itself. roisrory challands reports from moscow. >> several days across border artillery fire suggests pulling in deeper. russia has reacted angrily to the shelling. we see this as response to international terrorism and violent resolutions of the u.n. security council and turkey as a member of the international syria support group. turkey is of course a nato country and russia is aware that turkey is a potential fault line

within the alliance. >> this is very unpleasant for nato and nato will do everything to prevent it. it doesn't matter for nato or russia. but on erdogan's being determination. and adventurism. >> last week they opened their first international office in moscow. russia insists they be involved in the stalled good evening negotiations. for turkey this is out of the question. it sees any encouragement of kurdish autonomy as a exidges es threat. existential threat. if they continue to act in this manner, russia has made the

munich agreement insignificant by the statement today. >> russia has made it explicitly clear it won't stop bombing terrorist groups, even if the many conference commences. but if it keeps hitting groups for western support and if turkey keeps on shelling kurdish fighters then risk that the anticipated syrian cessation of loss tilts will be dead in the water and the regional powers in this complex proxy war might end up being pulled into outright conflict. rory challands. al jazeera, moscow. russian analyst, alex, weren't we talking about what's currently going on. what is the end game for russia here this this current escalation if wee can call it

that in syria? >> well, russia went to syria for several goals but the key objective for russia is political. the conflict in ukraine led to russia being isolated and in confrontation with a much wealthier and stronger west. and it was a position of weakness for russia so the kremlin decided to go into the middle east to syria where it could according to the kremlin's planners win militarily and come back to the negotiating table with the west from a position of strength. and that's what's ultimately the kremlin trying to pursue that. >> so in this terribly cynical chess game that we have currently going on, we're seeing hospitals and schools bein bein. a flagrant violation of international law, says the u.n. if russia is behind those strikes what is the strategy? would they say that's deliberate, that it's a mistake, how would they rationalize that?

>> well, the decision makers in the kremlin or the ministry of defense in russia, they don't care about the cost of human life, whether it's in syria or whether it was in eastern ukraine or whether it was in russian soil in chec chesh chec. up to 200,000 civilians including many ethnic russian he kin to putin or medvedev died. establishing geopolitical goals, establish the leadership in the country. unfortunately that is a very cynical way of looking at it, and that's what russia is doing. >> we heard assad's statement a little earlier this evening, saying, a cessation of hostilities doesn't mean we stop

using weapons on each other. that is a different stay than i've heard in a while. how problematic does it make the whole picture? >> it is clearly problematic because russia is not interested in a direct military confrontation with turkey, taken into context turkey is a nato state. if turkish military comes into contact with the russian military on syrian territory that would not invoke article 5 of nato. at the same time, russia doesn't want to take the conflict with the current confrontation with turkey to military level all the way through because that very much uncharted territory, everyone wants to avoid it. what russia is trying to do is buy more time in order to turn this conflict from a very multi-party conflict where you have various factions fighting within syria, into a binary conflict where you only have the government, the government

forces of assad, and the islamic state. all other informs eliminated physically or they are coerced into cooperation with one of the other informs and as a result, russia can present this to the west showing look, we do have a binary co conflict. we have assad versus the islamic state. >> i guess they have erased completely the involvement of the kurds and the ypg. it is so much more multilayered. alex, thanks so much for joining us. >> thank you. >> ahead here on al jazeera. mass forces, why hundreds of students in india have walked out of their classrooms. hopes for peace in libya as a revised list of ministers for

mohammed jamjoom reports. >> reporter: in sweden's capital you find them all over. on the margins of society, these unaccompanied minors are running from the system while hiding in plain sight. for three days every attempt we made to interview these children was met with fear. some questions were answered tar from the camera. other questions were greeted with first skepticism and later with hostility . by night police watch out for them. by day, social workers look out for them. >> i cannot really understand that some of them try oavoi to i us. when theavoid us. this is a way to offer them

support. >> ellen works specifically with moroccan street children, and the risk is higher than ever for more to fall into the hands of gangs and traffickers. >> they end up in this sort of legal limbo, where they have no future. they can't make sense of life. and why stay in a system that eventually will expel you? what is the point of that? so a lot of them actually choose, they choose to leave. >> reporter: the past year has seen tens of thousands of unaccompanied minors arrive in sweden. the issue of what to do with them has become an extremely trociacontroversial one as anti-refugee sentiment is growing. it's easy i would guess for

children to either in the system flee or go missing as well. >> yes. we don't jail children because they are children. we have the u.n. charter of children's rights, and we have to deal with different children different absorbs and different ages in different ways. >> some he says should be placed in locked detention facilities like this one just outside stockholm where we find sofian. the 18-year-old moroccan whose identity we are hiding for his protection thought life would get better when he arrived in sweden two years ago and was placed in a refugee camp. >> i was put in school and i learned a lot of swedish in a short time but then i was refused and i was shocked. >> twice more he applied and twice more he was reject. he ran off.

or irregular migrants so sometimes they're on their own as in the case of some of these children that have gone missing. but often we are talking about children who are then living with their families or other caregivers in the community and they face a lot of discrimination and they are some of the most at risk of poforts y and exclusion. >> sorry to interrupt you lilana, sorry, are there other children that aren't in the system or maybe start in the system and somehow fall outside of it, because they are too afraid to be in the system or maybe for other reasons? >> yes, absolutely. what we see are a lot of the reasons that children are undocumented is because their status is linked to their parents. they lose their status because they have a work permit or a

residence permit. they become undocumented the child becomes undocumented. undocumented minors, although they have not migrated anywhere but they have been born to undocumented migrants in the country. >> lilana, is the u.n. policy failing these children? it does look at this point that we could do an awful lot better. >> definitely, there is the eu side of things but the national governments, some are regulated at eu level and others at national level. we see throughout the whole process, not in a tension, children are treated as luggage of their parents, and this isn't in any way adapted to take consideration of their best interest and their rights as individuals. >> and lilana, does this mean that when children are going through this process, if they manage to go through it at all, in a sense they are treated as

omigrant first and then a child, if you like? >> very much so million the status has been first and they try and fit a child into particular boxes but don't treat child as a child first and foremost with specific needs. >> lilana keith joining us on skype from brussels. thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you. >> our case of disappearing child refugees, continues on tuesday with another report from my colleague, mohammed jamjoom. >> coming up on tuesday i gain exclusive access to a center for unaccompanied child refugees in mamo sweden where aid workers say the children in their charge remain as vulnerable as ever. now a baby girl who suffered serious burns at an off shore refugee camp is at the center of a row. doctors have refused to

>> why won't the staff in hospital discharge her? >> they're saying she doesn't have a safe home to go to. and i guess that's what a doctor would do with any child, if any child was collect into a hospital and they didn't have a safe home to go to, they wouldn't discharge her until she did. we're waiting for baby asher to have a safe home to go to. >> thank you, inside the hospital here, this protest began on saturday and has grown in numbers every evening since then. the people here say they won't leave here, it will be a permanent presence here until they get a guarantee that the baby won't be deported to naru. there are others who stand to be deported to naru. australia's prime minister on plormonday, said every case woue dealt with compassionately but he didn't want to definitive any

offensive to people smugglers to bring more people to australia. the implication there is giving exception to a baby even would incentivize people smugglers. on the one hand australia has no exception, on the other, it says babies and those with medical needs will be dealt with compassionately. hard to square that circle. >> oil prices are hurting oil rich nations across the globe and nigeria is one of those nations. now nigeria has to look at other ways to make money. ahmed idris reports from near the town of dora. >> a farmer all his life. at the end of the rainy season he comes out here to work on a small holding. he grows tomatoes, pepper and other veg tablet. he's one of the lucky few to
