investigative series. >> hello.s al jazeera i am lauren taylor. this is the news hour life from london. coming up, stronger sanctions the u.s. and china unite to present a draft resolution to the united nations security council. russian jets pound northwest syria as government forces seek to take more drowned ahead of saturday's halt in fighting. iran prepares to go to the polls for the first elects, since agreeing to a nuclear treaty. ataging the power hungry mobile phones the challenging

of the wises have being found. >> more on your sport, including campaigning to show you football's future. fifa's new president, arriving in zurich, ahead of friday's last. the security council is poised to vote oen what the u.s. says would be the strongest set of sanctions imposed on a country in more than two decades. five draft resolution brokered by the u.s. and china seeks to limit banking and cargo supplies to asian nation. the draft resolution followed extensive diplomatic conversations between the u.s. and china. at the u.n. for us, joining us live, it seems that u.s. and china is onboard with this, will it go ahead? >> well, this is the first time that ebb members are

seeing the regulars lose, but the fact that the united states and china have agreed on a wide ranging resolution, which the u.s. ambassador is saying is unprecedented in it's points and it's scope, is a sign that things are moving full speed ahead let me tell you a little bit about what is in the resolution. >> they continue to advance the program, specifically the resolution for the first time will call for the mandatory inspection of all cargo going in and out of north korea.

that's something very new mandatory inspection, there are also provision to close loopholes in the existing arms embargo, now small weapons are also part of that. there are tighter sanctions. more financial sanctions on individuals on companies, and on ships, ships certain ships will be prohibited from leaving north korea, and docking in other countries. and also for the first time, the united nations is banning from north korea the export of certain minerals, iron ore, rare earth minerals and so forth, and also preventing north korea from importing air nautical fuel. rocket fuel in particular. obviously that would be very important to this nuclear program. so as far as the united states is concerned, a very strong resolution that still has to be passed, here is what samantha power had to say after the meeting.

>> these sanctions if adopted, would send an unambiguous and unyielding message to the regime. the world will not accept your proliferation. there will be consequences for your actions. and we will work relentlessly, and collectively, to stop your nuclear programs. >> so what happens next? is. >> well, the united states is interested in moving full speed ahead to get this resolution passed. we are hearing there could be a vote as soon as this weekend. one u.s. official familiar with the text and the negotiation says that it is very technical. we are talking about 22 cages in this resolution, five annexes he does expect there to be some technical discussions and technical aspects that need to be worked out, but the fact that china, and the united states, agree on this, china, of course, one of north korea's closest ally ms. the region, signals they have come a long

way. it's been seven weeks of negotiation since north korea launched -- or i should say tested a nuclear weapon. and so they are hoping that they will have the votes ready this weekend. >> live at the united nations, thank you very much. >> iranians are hours away from the first two elections lifting sanctions and paving the way for increased economic growth. two polls one for the parliament, and another for the experts that will choose the next supreme leader, the parliament is currently dominated by conservatives, but that could change given progressive success on achieving the iranian nuclear deal. but there's tension over the number of hopefuls ban from running p p about 12,000 people wanted to run in the 290 seat parliament, but just 5,000 have been cleared. from teheran, andrew simmons reports. >> one that could be more

moderate. believes change is coming. she became the first woman vice president between 1997, and 2005. >> back in 1979, she was the voice of resistence. able 19, spokes woman for iranian students who held 52 americans hostage for 444 days. and the u.s. embassy crisis. she now serving a third term as vice president this time under house san, and she believed the conservatives majority in parliament will be overturned. >> i think that the people believe that they can change the course of events. if people have not elected him, if they had not come to the polls, 2 1/2 years ago,

we would have not successful in the nuclear deal, and lifting the sanctions. >> but there are powerful institutions standing against moderates and reform is the guardians council made up of conservatives and hardliners cut the number standing for the parliamentary elections behalf. it also has an effect on the assembly of experts. cutting the numbers standing for that body, by more than three-quarters. most of those disqualified were either reformists or moderate. >> the way that it is actually done, i think that esa open for a lot of criticism. >> what is your view of it? >> we should be more open in terms of allowing people, particularly those who are coming for example, strong

political credential ms. the past, or people that are coming for the time, and they don't have that much experience in the political arena. i think that they should be given the chance. >> even if conservatives did lose control, the supreme leader would still hold absolutely power with control of military, judiciary, and wide range of islamic institutions. andrew simmons, al jazeera teheran. more on this joining us live, in florida, he is the executive director of the world center for strategic and diplomatic studies at the university of south florida, thank you very much indeed for being with us, how likely is it that we will feel a shift in the balance of power as a result of these elections? >> thank you for having me on. the fact that much of the east today is in turmoil, and we have states raise of terrorism, civil wars the

very fact that we are going to have hopefully an orderly election in iran, i think that says a lot about the stability in the islamic of iran. i understand that the nominating process has been controlled, but the fact that we have competitive elections after the nominating process, that's good news. i have no idea what is going to happen. a, whether there would be a change in balance in power. the more moderate elements the centerrists, those who are supportive of more opening to the west of a more moderate iran and foreign policy, would be in control of the iranian parliament, and therefor the parliament would be friendliest, and gentler. i would be looking for the turnout. is it going to be a turn out that is lower than the past, or higher than the past. >> yeah.

on the turnout, some have suggested that the reformist are less likely to turn out to vote, because they are disillusions with the pace of progress, do you think that's fair? or do you think they might be prepared to turn out and make the effort? even if they don't think they make exactly what they want? >> i think it is not the fair assessment. it is fair to say that the reformist, those who supported they were eliminated from elections. but, he has advocated that people should participate in p the elections because no matter what you think about the elections in iran, it is the only game in town. it is the way you can change policy and if you can have a turn out, some of the 65 to 70, that would be a significant achievement for the staunch republican, because that is even higher than the turnover in mature democracies like the united states of america.

>> how much of a role do you think the nuclear deal will play? do you think it still has an effect? >> i think i was hoping, that the sanctions would be lifted much earlier. so that the people of iran could see the positive results of the lifting of the sanctions. unfortunately, they were not lifted as quickly as they should have. and therefore, the economic condition in iran has not been proved as much. but i am hoping to see that a large portion of the iranian leck story rate would vote for moderation in policy, and toward as more open and equitable society inside iran. >> thank you very much indeed for taking the time to talk to us, appreciate it. >> syrian observatory says forces have taken back the down from isil fighters. it is important for his troops because there is their only access to rebel held aleppo.

>> the u.n. special envoy says more aid will reach syria in need as the plan takes place on saturday. more needs to be done, more effectively, and certainly if we all hope, that the cessation of honest tillties takes hold, they will have an impact on the acceleration of reaching the people in need in syria. not only in the beseened areas but everywhere. iraqi police say at least 12 people have been killed in the capitol. officers say the attack took place at a shia moss income a predominately shia neighborhood. 40 people were also wound misdemeanor the blast. >> still to come in the news hour, aarm laking increase many the number of young refugees in europe, who are turning to prostitution and crime to sup vive. >> this report, makes sorry leading to the b.b.c.

impression of the situation is already gradually imploding. certainly it is becoming more and more complicated, not only for the refugees that are stranded here, at the border, are stranded in other reception centers along the road, but also for the greek authorities. about 12,000 already on the territory, that is not counting those that keep on arriving on a daily basis you can see that number increase, now the boarder is closed and has been closed since thursday. and there is no indication when lit open again. the after gan have discovered that they will not be able to go through any more so either they go back and try to find another solution, or they will be using smugglers routs. people will tell us they do continue to try the journey, because at this point they have lost everything in their lives and don't have money any more. they don't even have a house to return to. some say they sold that property to be able to make

this journey. now, on the other hand, the border is being fortified. the serbian government has just announced that it will also send troops to patrol this border here between greece and macedonia. there are few fences now. it is very difficult to go through but people will continue trying. for the syrians and the iraqis what will happen next, they don't know. do they have now the right paperwork to start a whole new registration process. in macedonia, that registration process is what will allow them to go through the ball can and reach western europe. they don't know. you do have now a lot of people despite the efforts by the green authorities to keep them in reception centers not to create this huge bottleneck here. you do have people that leave those centers and walk all the way here. some for much more than that, simply because they are following the news, they are

confused. they are hearing that the borders might close. permanently, for everybody on march 1st. and many just stick their luggage, and their families and just walk, they want to be here, in case the border opens and they make it through. >> meeting aid organizations to discuss the future of the so called jungle camp. it is home to thousands, but local authorities are now set to demolish part of the site. nadine barber has this report. >> the refugee from iraq has been in the jungle chasm for nearly a month. helping out means he stays warm and busy. local authorities have been given the green light to get people out of this area. he skies he has had enough of being moved on, he has

decided to apply for say ilum in france. >> i can't keep changing all the time. i am going to register for asylum on friday. i would like to bring my wife and four children, so we can live in peace. >> . >> i can't confirm with the help of organizations as we

have been doing previously on an area about four hectares we will be able to offer a decent shelter for migrants. and most importantly, we will be able to get them out of the hands of traffickers. >> behind the trees over there, it is the southern part of what they call the jungle camp. and the authorities here in cali would like everyone living over there, to move into a new accommodation center, not far away. they say it is safer and cleaner there. but for many it is a small move to make, it is a great leap. >> they say there are far more people here. small camps all over just like ten years ago with the situation. they will not be in the shelter provided by the government. >> charities say the french

government should do much more to help the many children and teenagers here in particular. however, quickly they clear this part of the jungle a lasting solution still seemed out of reach. nadine barber. calley. >> joined live by carolina, she is from save the chirp. what do you make of the decision that enforces the decision by the french government to destroy a part of that. >> and correspondent is just saying there, that there are better places for them. but there's not enough of them. and there's no community infrastructure, there's none of the shops in schools and that think particularly for children have been really important, and fostering some sense of community many the really difficult situation many the camp. >> .

>> who are many the path of the camp that is set to be destroyed. the raid from about 11 and 16, really vulnerable kids. >> what sort of things have you been doing there to make the life better? >> so, say the children are trying to support organizations who already are doing an incredible job, organizations set up partly by the refugees, partly by local organizations we are running nor an example of supporting a youth club, where children go every day, and they go and play there, and speak, and get psychological support, a book library, a school. you can imagine some of these kids are stuck here for years. they have made really long journeys to get here many the first place. it may have been years since they had a proper education. so we are getting some sense

of normality. we find them really all sorts of kind of distress, trauma. and so we are just trying to help do that, and help tribe volunteers. >> caroline, thank you very much indeed. >> an alarming increase in the number of young refugee whose are returning to prostitution and crime to survive. barnabie phillips reports from rome. >> out of the shadows a country road in central italy. on a cold february night, the girls light fires to keep warm, and attract passing clients for sex. this trade of nigerian women to italy has gone on for years. but it's now changing experts speak of a substantial increase in girls abled under 18. you might call it a shameful secret, except these girls are also on parade by day. they won't talk on camera,

and they are controlled by ruthless gangs. >> can i ask you where you are from? >> we filmed this girl secretly. she can earn about 200-dollar as week, sex only costs 10-dollar as time. despite everything she says she would like to stay in italy, life in nigeria was too hard. she looks no older than a teenager. and then the technique, and the events. it is notorious with migrant and refugee children, try to make a living as best as they can. egyptian boys live in gangs around the station. some survive by selling drugs and even sex.

historical sex abuse. one of those abusers was the former presenter. who raped and assaulted dozens of people he met. and as paul brennen reports they had several chances to stop the abuse. >> britt tape's national broad caster turned a blind eye to the dark truth about his nature. he fronts numerous popular perhaps but his star status gave him unchallenged access to sexually abused scores of underaged victims. >> they have been through the mill, and given evidence which was extremely harrowing for them. and they have really do want to move on now. they don't want to see his face all over the television screens any more. and they want to move on and today was the final chapter, and that's why it is so important. that they got to the real truth.

during the years that he was there. his findings are scathing. >> celebrities retreated with kid gloves and were virtually untouchable. one witness told me, that the talent were more valuable to the bbc than their own values. date c. missed back to 1969. but complaints were always brushed away. the report says that the bb c appears to have been much more concerned about it's reputation, in the pead yeah, than in actually focusing on the need to protect vulnerable young audience members. when one is junior employee complained she was told, keep your mouth shut, he is a vip. widespread rumors were either dismissed or ignored. there is a failure to coordinate investigation of

complaints. jimmy dies in 2011, before he could be prosecuted. >> what happened was profoundly wrong. it should never have started it should certainly have been stopped. whatever the circumstances background to it and clearly these reports explain this in some considerable detail. sexual abuse is sexual abuse but the report says the atmosphere of fear which gained impunity still exists today and says dane janet, the power of celebrity and the trust we still accord it makes detecting such abusers even more difficult. the timing is particularly

important because it is just ahead of super tuesday, there's been a number of primary votes will be held in one go billionaire businessman donald trump is riding high after taking three in a row. ted cruz will be p hoping to slow the momentum. am al jazeera joins us live where the debate is taking place. what are we likely to see tonight, allen? >> the republicans will be televised, donald trump says outrageous things being very loud and attacking everyone else around him. he will go particularly after marco rubio because he seed him as the establishment anti-trump candidate if you look at the latest been polls particularly here, ted cruz needs to have a good performance he used to have a commanding lead, now it is within the margin of error, and who is sitting second, donald trump. the mass suggests that may need to start putting a candidate up against trump,

in what will become a two horse race, so when it comes to ben carson what we expect from hem so give a performance that suggests they should be staying in the race john kasich gave a message he isn't doing terribly well, he still suspects his better days will come in the midwest in ohio but the latest polls out of ohio put him second, and guess who is leading there, well, it is donald trump. >> is there pressure? are what is the pressure like for him to perform. >> well, thinkny the past when there was so many people on stage, he was able to bluster his way through mind second answers by reverting back to the speech he gives at every single campaign stop knowing they will get applause. when he is put under pressure, that's when he looks shaky, now remember in greenville, when he was called a liar when he came under pressure, but his comments in the bush family, some people thought that

donald trump was in the vernal of unraveling there did it impact him when it came to the votes, no it didn't, but this time with only five people on stage, and he will be the focus of many attacks from cruz and rubio, it will be interesting to see how he responds. and perhaps even the moderators will drill down deeper. he can't just keep saying we will make america great, at some point he has to start putting the flesh on the bones of that. now a lot of the supporters don't care what he says they will vote for him anyway, but it is the floating voters he needs to appeal to and intermountain voters so now is the time that they come under the spotlight, mow is when he has to start to perform and certainly a bit like a potential nominee. >> thank you very much indeed. people in ireland will go to the polls on friday. it has made a significant
