11:01 am
>> donald trump's rally disrupted less than 24 hours after a similar event had to be abandoned. the two biggest teams in action, arsenal and manchester united. >> first, the u.s. secretary of state john kerry has accused the syrian regime of trying to disrupt upcoming talks in geneva. he condemned the syrian government demands while official delegation from the regime has arrived in geneva, but is insisting that the rolf have bashar al assad is a red line. the u.s. secretary of state met his european counterparts in paris. they admit the talks will be
11:02 am
difficult. kerry said the government was behind most of the violations in the conditional ceasefire and risked undermining it. >> diminished compliance in certain areas or act into ways that call into question their commitment to the cessation without serious consequences for the progress that we have made, they are deeply mistaken. >> let's go to our diplomatic he had door, james bays. we saw secretary of state john kerry trying to rally the diplomatic troops. >> i think john kerry's message, which is a message condemning the assad side say that he
11:03 am
believes that the syrian deputy prime minister and foreign minister talking about assad couldn't be part of the negotiation, his role as the president was sacrosanct is a message is aiming at the committee, saying he condemns those comments, also condemns the fact that there have been violations of the cessation of hostilities. he said that the make that violator is the syrian government and also in terms of getting aid to besieged areas, again, he's saying it's the syrian government that's not doing enough. all of this, i think trying to encourage the opposition side. i can tell you, though, some of the opposition aren't completely convinced that the u.s. is fully on it's side and is its closest ally in the way they felt that perhaps a few years ago. listen to the comments one prominent member of the h.a.c.
11:04 am
>> it's not even clear to their allies. they speak of territorial integrity of syria while supporting separatist movement like the y.p.g. >> this is coming from the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov. it is interesting that is coming hours before the talks are supposed to start, saying the y.p.g. should be here and should be invited to the talks. this has been a problem for sometime. last time everyone gathered here a few weeks ago, this was an
11:05 am
issue. russia saying they should be part, russia saying they should not be invited to the talks. currently they don't have an invitation and the invitees last time when people gathered here in geneva, but when i pressed staffan de mistura on this issue in a recent interview, he said it is a subject that will be revisited later. >> all right, thanks so much. our diplomatic editor james bays. five years of war in syria has left the country literally in ruins. a truce is in place, but airstrikes and fighting continue and thousands of syrians are starving. the u.n. estimates that more than 250,000 people have been killed since the start of the war, but it stopped counting back in 2014, so the syrian observatory for human rights for example says actually more than 270,000 people have been killed. the u.n. also report that is more than 6.5 million syrians have been forced to leave their
11:06 am
homes. that's the largest number of displaced people in the world right now. in total, more than 13.5 million people are in need of humanitarian aid inside syria. nearly 5 million syrians have registered world wild as refugees. it all started back in the year 2011, syrians inspired by the revolution in tunisia and egypt and elsewhere came out on to the streets, their demands the back then simply reform. the government quickly responded to the peaceful protests with violence, saying they were incidents gated by foreigners. from istanbul, we have this report from some of the people who believed in arab spring.
11:07 am
>> with memories as vivid as their disappoint run deep, these syrians in turkey turn to books when they can, seeing comfort in their pages, solace in their chapters. an escape, albeit a brief one from the reality of a horrific milestone, five years of a war that brought with it the kind of unmitigated misery no one here could have foreseen. at the beginning, the arab spring had spread hope. >> what happened in tunisia, this is all the area go to the street. >> syrian artist opened pages bookstore and cafe as a refuge for fellow citizens tired of conflict and thirsting for culture. >> he fled damascus and remembers very well how things spiraled out of control. >> the problem in syria, we were surprised. we think all the world would help us like libya, like tunis and in the end, all the war left us alone. >> some attempt to bury their sorrows in these volumes but it's harder than it looks.
11:08 am
>> these days in istanbul, a city so full of the war weary, it's hard to find many syrians who feel any real sense of optimism. certainly not the kind that was on display half a decade ago before peaceful uprising turned to all-out war, before hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives. >> in another part of town, refugees whose lives were shattered by conflict tried valiantly to put some of the pieces back together. >> with the help of the small projects, istanbul n.g.o., these women, many of whom are too afraid to show their faces, are learning skills to help them survive. she used to own a jewelry stall in aleppo and is showing them how to make earrings. they'll never forgot the beginning when for his fellow country men and women, resistance felt more like a beginning than heartache. >> it felt like we started to
11:09 am
raise our voices, i mean, we finally started to raise our voices and that was a good thing. nobody had any idea things would get so bad. >> skills help build a living and aid in soothing souls. >> to start, demands were simple. people were asking for the most basic reforms, but the regime didn't know how to deal with people outside of using force. >> five years on, these syrians still feel battered. for even those who managed to escape their country haven't truly been able to escape the war. al jazeera, istanbul. >> i'm joined by our senior political analyst. good to have you with us. some of those people talked to there in the package, is there still a chance for their hopes
11:10 am
which they placed in the arab spring not to be dashed? >> look, the first real wave of refugees away not from syria, but also from turkey was that a good number of syrians gave up on any hopeful future for syria in the near future and for good reason. once the russians got more involved and once assad got more bloody and aggressive. and once the country fell into civil war, it was clear there was no immediate solution in the country. i think the syrians who are sensing that they are meeting the same fate wanted something more durable, more permanent. >> is geneva going to provide something more durable?
11:11 am
>> you know, you would have hoped that the syrians notably the regime would come to its senses and really realize that there is no way forward. it takes a very crazy person to think that assad can rule syria in the future. >> that is the problem. what is the starting point if even elections are not on the schedule. >> well in 18 months, but the point being look, when you go to negotiation, you go in on a number of bases, number one, balance of power on the ground. unfortunately because of the russian intervention and assad's aggression, i think now the russians and the assad regime have advantage on the ground. two, is there a will to reach a solution. clearly, and i hate to say it, but i agree with secretary kerry that the syrian foreign minister's statement today was really to torpedo the negotiations, because the rearian regime that diplomacy is not in its favor. three and i think the americans
11:12 am
talk but the russians bomb, the americans speak of diplomacy, the russians speak of military action on the ground. there is a real dissymmetry on the ground. third and most importantly, look at the position at the negotiations. what are the real summary of those positions, of that mindset? the regime says assad is a red line. the opposition says syrian unity is a red line. >> i'm glad you mentioned diplomacy there. do you think that the major powers now have come to the point where they want to force the warring parties to a resolution and if so, can they do it, both the americans and russians with their respective allies. >> the document released in january on russia's foreign ministry website about the military agreement between russia and syria, for all practical purposes, that agreement basically confiscated the syrian sovereignty from assad to putin.
11:13 am
russians for all sorts of reasons today own president assad. that's why president assad is still trying to maneuver sending his emissaries to iran to enlist ires help, basically to neutralize the russians. i don't think that's working. what's happening today is that the americans and the russians have a lot of say in syria. unfortunately, the russians have more say, have more at stake in syria than the americans are leading to have there. since 2013, the americans compromise the russians gain and that's what's fueling the negotiations. >> thanks so much. the war in syria has caused a refugee crisis across europe. the german government has offered refuge to more than 1 million people. now that policy is being tested with voting underway in three german states.
11:14 am
german television channel has been tracking the popularity of angela merkel since the refugee in flux reached crisis levels back in july last year. merkel had a solid approval rating of 67%. by february that dropped to a low of 46%. recently, the german chancellor has bounded back with an approval rating of 54%. dominic cain joins me live from the capital city, one of the places where region all elections being held. the big question, is what impact it will have on the national level, right? >> well, that's right. it's worth making the point that the three states that are holding elections today, officials say the turnout in these elections is considerably higher than the same time the elections that were held five
11:15 am
years ago. clearly something is driving the voters to go and cast their blots today. the question is what exactly is doing that. with me to discuss this is mr. wolfgang heinz from the university here. what do you think is prompting this big turnout of voters? >> well, we don't know that exactly at the moment, but there are two possible explanations. one would be the negative one, which assume that many people who don't vote in other elections are recruited and mobilized by the right wing r.f.d. and vote for protest. the other possibility is a positive one that electorate, 20% would vote in order to avoid a success of the i.f.d. >> what that the policy of the coalition government federally, of angela merkel, the popularity
11:16 am
of the chancellor has dropped in recent months but seems to be rebounding slightly in recent weeks. what is at stake for the chancellor in elections such as these? >> well, that indicates that the refugee crisis probably gets easier. >> we see what has been told about criminality and all that, that is not true at all. you can see in this city that the refugees living in shelters that everything seems to be quite well organized and that the fierce which have been talked about are not really exist ept. >> in the political sense across germany, how important of these three elections happening today for the rest of germany? >> whether they're region ales or federal elections, they hardly affect the federal level.
11:17 am
we have to see that as a limited importance. >> thank you very much for your analysis there. it's worth making the point that the three states holding elections here, the governments are between the christian democrats and social democrats here in this state, mirroring the federal government, the national level, so the verdict of the voters here might well tell us a great deal about how they feel potentially gag forward for the rest of the country. back to you. >> dominic cain, thanks for that. >> more still to come here on al jazeera, including: rhyme reporting from myanmar where lives continue to be affected by civil war despite the signing of a nationwide ceasefire agreement. protestors in bangladesh continue their long march to save an environmentally sensitive area. in sport, one dog is killed and three injured in an attack

11:19 am
the tragedy could have been avoided in the first place. the germanwings copilot had exhibited depression and suicidal thoughts for years but his private doctors never informed aviation authorities or the airline of the danger he posed. issuing their final report into the wider issues of the crash sunday, the french investigation team has urged global changes in regulation. >> i think that clearer rules are necessary to define when one can require to preach medical confidentiality, particularly when we're talking about pilots who are responsible for carrying passengers. it needs first a series of
11:20 am
recommendation for safety in balance between medical and public security. >> there are 11 recommendations, including a call for medical checks to be made every three or six months instead of annually. pilots with depression would not necessarily be barred from flying which should be more closely regulated and supported. there is no recommendation to change the security of cockpit doors. victims' relatives want the law changed. >> it wasn't only an accident, it was a collapse where the safety advice from lufthansa did not work. the pilot was ill and should have never sat in the cockpit. >> the family looks to sue lufthansa in the u.s. courts. >> lufthansa is refusing to negotiate with american lawyers. more than 80 families got together and must litigate, because lufthansa is not cooperating. >> the question now, however and how quickly with him the recommendations of the french investigators be adopted. paul brennan, al jazeera. >> a former chief investigator
11:21 am
for aviation safety joins us. the recommendations call for new rules that will force health providers to inform authorities. if they think that a pilot's state might pose a risk to passengers. have they go far enough? >> i think the recommendations very sensible to tie up the medical professional and federal and i havation requirements. it's been quite a long time in coming. there have been suicide -- system worry that this particular -- has -- couple of days -- suicide -- need to find -- in that sense -- recommendation what it comes down -- pilots. >> ok, we apologize, having a
11:22 am
bit of difficulty trying to hear you there. perhaps we'll pick up on this later, thank you so much. libyan's backed presidential council is attempting to push through the unity government without council approval. the government was recommended last month but tobruk is divided over the proposed cabinet. for decades, rebel armies have been fighting for autonomy or independence despite a ceasefire signed last year. the situation is now worsening. wane hey reports. >> in the nowhere state, a monastery can provide protection for young men.

at this time of day, her son should be helping her on the farm. in november, the 16-year-old and two others from his village were taken by a group of men and they haven't been seen since. >> of course i miss him. he still wants to finish school and he's learning how to be a mechanic. his father is not feeling well, so he stopped going to school to take care of his father, then this happened to him and we're helpless. >> it's likely they were taken by one of the rebel armies operating in the area. allegations of abduction are becoming increasingly common. accusations of rape and torture have also been made against government soldiers. one armed ethnic group told al jazeera it doesn't force people to join its ranks. >> we don't do like that. we just organize them. we explain them you have to come by yourself. >> under almost 50 years of military rule, myanmar became economically isolated.
11:24 am
the problems are magnified in areas where armies and militias fight for control. there is little opportunity. most of the areas where the rebel armies operate are remote and poor. there is hope being placed in the new government but there is a real concern that some groups might use this time to try to exert their power, particularly the myanmar army. >> renewed fighting and chance have seen thousands take shelter in nearby temples and monasteries. civilians are trapped between the armies. she has since received phone calls from her missing son but still doesn't know why he was taken. >> when he calls, he says i'm fine and tells us not to worry about him. he doesn't say where he is or what he's doing. >> the problems in the ethnic minority areas are complex, but there are big expectations for the new government to provide
11:25 am

11:32 am
the stage while trump was speaking. trump's rivals accused him of using divisive language. hillary clinton spoke at a town hall in ohio saying it's important to stand up to people like trump. >> if you play with matches, you can start a fire you can't control. that is not leadership, that is political arson. if you see bigotry, oppose it. if you see violence, condemn it. if you see a bully, stand up to him. >> scotty hughes is a chief political correspondent for u.s.a. radio network. i talked to him and asked if donald trump was encouraging violence. >> to suggest that donald trump is promoting violence is ridiculous. of course he doesn't want it but at the same time, nobody is walking out the rudeness of these protestors to come in here
11:33 am
on private property and disrupt. their whole goal is to disrupt and get sympathy and it's not right. we wouldn't do it to them, why are they doing it to us? there is frustration after months of this happening and it only works because the media is feeding it and throwing blood to the sharks out there trying to create a bigger problem. >> sorry, sorry, just to be clear here, you said that you condemn violence so are you calling on mr. trump to retract those words which clearly were calling for violence? >> no, they were not. no they are not calling for violence. it's absolutely absurd if you think mr. trumps calling for violence. what he is calling for is a background to stand up. these people are bullied conservatives and trump supporters. he is saying stand up for yourself, i've got your back. it's time to fight he said they are not politically correct.

this is our rally, we have done the right thing. we are here to assemble and be a part of the democratic pros. no i am not asking for him to retract his statement. why can they get away with it and we are not, being rude and throwing purges. >> can you explain to viewers then how do you quote "knock the [bleep] out of people without that being violent and i promise you i will pay for the legal fees, knock the [bleep] out of them." >> because they are knocking the bleep out of us when they are sit go there throwing punches at us, saying that might not be getting as much attention but it's happening at these rallies. >> so we are talking about violence here. you just said pumps, if punches are being thrown, copps have the right to throw violence and punches back is what you just said. >> you are allowed to defend yourself, when you're being

punched at, spit at, having the bird being pulled on you. we're piecably assembling as our constitution gives us the right to do. it's the other side coming in. they are breaking the law and when you hear mr. trump say get them out of here, that is him telling law enforcement that they are no longer invited at a private ticketed event and to get them out and that's when law enforcement steps in. don't demonize those trying to be part of the political process.

it belongs in our country. bangladesh is our mother, we do not want this type of power plant which will destroy mother nature. >> protestors have kept the building of the plant so far. off the coast of senegal, more than 140 offshore wells have been drilled since the 1950's with little to show for it. recent oil and gas discoveries now raising hopes. there are still a few more years to go before oil is extracted. the government is cutting the price of petrol already. >> he is a peanut farmer who priced himself on being thrifty. he drives to the outskirts searching for the cheapest petrol. he never fills the tank completely, buying just what he needs.
11:44 am
senegal's government said with global prices falling and recent offshore gas discoveries, it can drop the price at the pump. it's still expensive for a country with almost all the population lives on less than $2 a day. >> sure, it's cheaper, but mark my words, having oil leads to complications. we might be better off paying more at the pump rather than having people fight over our natural resources. >> u.s. and british companies have announced the biggest discovery of natural gas in west africa, a record 5 trillion cubic meters straddle coast between senegal and mauritania. the exploration hasn't been completed, but what to do with these untapped natural resources
