reduced the level of violence since it came into effect two weeks ago but not all sides of the conflict have been invited to the talks in general eve a the syrian government has agreed to attend but says the post ofbas assad is not up for discussion. it will discuss a transitional governing body and doesn't want assad to be part of that. russia wants ethnic kurds to be included but they have not been invited. arguesnal and he will nus are a front have been excludedel nusr have been excluded. >> spoilers will try to upset the talks by incident, by whatever you will be seeing, and we will be seeking. it will need to be called and i mentioned keeping that type of

capacity. public rhetoric will try to cast ire on preconditions but this is a moment of truth. >> to james bays in geneva. james, steffan desura says this is a moment of truth. what's going to be happening today and in the coming days in geneva? >> reporter: well, it's going to start with the government side coming here to the united nations. remember these are what they call proximity talks. so both sides meet with the mediator, but they don't meet at this stage anyway face to face. >> first meeting for this round -- remember we had a failed round of talks that really got no where a matter of weeks ago but this first round taking place in the next ten minutes or so at the u.n.'s headquarters for europe in geneva. we understand that the opposition delegation, the main

opposition bloc will not be meeting the special envoy in geneva on monday. their meeting will come a day later on tuesday. i think mr. dimistora although he says these are substantive talks says they are going to deal with the mother of all issues, the political transition, he is taking it slowly because he knows on that key issue and the part of that issue that's being -- the main problem, i think, throughout the five years of the war, the role of president assad and those around him, he knows is a real difference. >> i talks about james, the spoilers, those who want these talks to fail. who is he referring to go? >> reporter: he wouldn't say. he was warning us, the media, to expect that there would be also some drama here at the talks but, also, those beyond the talks back in syria, and remember, this whole process dreamed up by the regional and international players, the so-called issg, the international syria support

group, includes some players on the ground in syria, but obviously doesn't include groups like el nusra and isil. he expects there will be violence on the ground to try to redetail these talks and i think et cetera trying to create that expectation among the journalists because he knows how difficult this process so going to be. he was asked how he was going to bridge this divide between the government and the opposition over the key area of governance, over that key role of the assad, whether he could stay on in the transition, whether he has to leave or not. and he said he wouldn't reveal his hand. he said maybe he would get the journalists class and mediation but he wasn't going to tell them how he was going to do it at this stage. worth telling you: the timeline seems to have shrunk since he last spoke to the media. when we were here a few weeks ago, he talked about intensive talks going on six months. now, he is talking about three

rounds of talks lasting no more than 10 days to two weeks each time with a recess in between. ing in my calculations, that puts the plan he has now in place with troying to come up with a solution by the middle of may. >> interestingly, james, he said there was no plan b being considered even though we have heard noises from the american side in the last few days that if this geneva didn't work, they would have to consider a so-called plan b. >> reporter: yes. he said the only plan b in syria would be what we've already had, which is the appalling violence and deaths that have marched the last five years of that country's history, but he feared it would get worse. having said that, i think there are some new ideas floating around. maybe they are not plan b. maybe they are going to be incorporated into these talks, plan a, and one of those certainly, i am hearing from diplomats in new york at the security council has been discussed very seriously is the

idea of a more federal syria, allowing parts of the country to run their own affairs in a devolved way. and certainly when i sat down a couple of days ago with dimistura, he said that's something for the syria people, for the parties to these talks to decide. it's not something he is going to rule in or rule out. he did, though, say one thing he will rule out. it's clearly the position of the u.n. and the international community, there can be no actual division of syria into different new countries. >> james bays in geneva. thank you indeed for that. 8.4 million children in syria have been affected by the conflict according to a new report by unice if: an estimated 3.7 million people have been born since then. nearly seven million children are living in poverty. half of all syrian refugees are children. many of the people fleeing the fighting in syria have taken refuge in neighboring jordan. al jazeera's january araf went to one of the refuge eye camps

involved in the attack last night. now, they are looking in to a suspect they tell us who is linked to the pkk who was born in 1992. we expect more information on that development shortly. also, we are awaiting the start of a an emergency cabinet meeting. >> should be starting in a little less than an hour from now. after that meeting, we are expecting the prime minister and other officials here to come out, speak to the media, talk about the latest that they have discovered in the investigation into this attack. the latest death toll, 37 people killed, more than 100 injured. there is a real palpable sense of worry here in ankara. of course, this is not just the second attack to have taken place in less than a month. also, we once remembered this is the third attack that has taken place since october, and in each of those attacks

>> there was a car. i think it was a black car. five or six people died in the bus. the neck of one of severed. something pierced me through here and i have one in my arm. >> reporter: there was no immediate claim of responsibility, but government officials say they have completed their initial investigation and will announce monday whom they believe to be behind the attack. in february, 29 people, mainly military personnel, were killed

in a suicide car bomb attack claimed by a group calling itself the kurdistan freedom falcons. as a result, the country has been on a heightened state of alert. >> tight security measures were taken. instructions were given, but unfortunately, terrorist attacks cannot be prevented. 100% in any country. >> turksey facing multiple security threats as it is engaged in a war on two fronts. it is fighting isil in syria and iraq and the pkk in its southeast. >> now, the city agrieves and continues worrying about what this means for the overall state of security. there are these fooufrnlingz that are going on today. we are starting to get pictures are going on today. we are starting to get pictures. videos from the funerals, very sad affairs indeed. and we are expecting to hear more from families of victims and members as the day proceeds. now, another important development to mention: the

turkish security forces came out with a statement today. they have conducted more air raids against pkk target did, the kurdistan worker's party, developed more air raids against those targets in northern iraq. 11 turkish war planes bombing 18 targets in northern iraq. >> that's not to say, though, that the pkk has been as the main culprit of these attacks. they are certainly al suspect, we are hearing from government officials. at this hour, we have not yet heard from the turkish government as to who they blame for these attacks that happened last night. >> mohammed, thank you very much for the update live for us in ankara. for more, let's speak to yaser yaki who will joins us live from ankara. thank you for being on al jazeera. no official claim of responsibility yet. the turkish government saying it will soon announce who it thinks is responsible for the latest attack in ankara. who do you think is behind this?

>> well, many terrorist organizations may have done it or a combination of them. that's to say recently, i think yesterday or the day before yesterday, the terrorist operation operating in turkey said they were going to combine their efforts in order to fight against the government. so. is it a coincidence, or is it something which is the result of it? i do not know. actually, i don't think that it could be the result of this combination of efforts because in such a short time, you cannot make president investigation in syria and the plan and carry it out. so, it may be a coincidence but of course there are several terrorist organizations in turkey that could do it. >> the threat has been high. i mean on march 11th, just a few days ago, the u.s. embassy in

ankara mentioned al target. this is the second attack in the capitol in less than a month. many are questioning today whether the turkish government is able to maintain security in its capitol and its large cities when its engaged on so many different fronts than is facing so many different threats whether it's from isil, whether it's from the kurdish groups and so on. do you feel this is a government, david, capable of dealing with this security challenge? >> of course tight security is not possible nowhere in the world. we have seen it in the united states, in the heart of london and everywhere. but, of course, the frequency in turkey creates doubts whether the government should not do more in order to fight rather than saying that they are taking measures. >> you talked about a pkk.

just briefly, you, of course, are aware that there are airstrikes against the kurd kish groups going on right now in iraq and so on. but do you think this is the best solution to dealing with this group today? >> well, of course, there was a process which we called democratization process or some other people called it turkish opening, which was giving very hopeful signals in the past. that's to say the government sets together with the kurdish leaders including the leader who is in jail in turkey and at this process could have delivered something more concrete. but this process collapsed for a reason which is difficult to explain. so, i think that the only way is to resume the

negotiations because even if the securitization efforts which is underway at the present, that's to say, to repress entirely the kurdish terrorist movement and sit at the table after that. it is not possible if we take into consideration the other examples in northern ireland, in itar or in south africa and, also, in turkey. >> okay. >> because we have gone through this experience since 1980 and it did not work. >> we will have to leave it there unfortunately. thank you for taking the time to speak to us. a former turkish foreign minister joining us live from ankara. three palestinians have been shot dead in two separate attacks in the occupied west bank. the iezzoi army says two p palestinians were killed after they opened fire in hebron a distills participator after a car was rammed into a vehicle.

>> successful they have been here and across german on sunday, no other main party is prepared to work with them in coalition. so they will not enter government which means the vote they have received is just a process vote against the policies of the coalition government. for the ruling cdu, there was consolation in remaining the largest party. the state premiere is from the cdue he hailed his party's showing in his own state . we have the same as five years ago when we were in a different situation, a totally different

party landscape. >> reporter: this election campaign has been dominated by the refuge crisis well many suggesting the vote was a refer endsum on the policies of angela merkel. her uponlarity has slumped as the influx of refugees has grown. in recent weeks, though, her approval rating has recovered somewhat. not in time to save her party leaders where the cdu's main opponents were victoryium and ifa candidates won seats at the expense of the established parties. one political scientist told me why he felt voters chose the ifd. >> they fear they will be the losers of the refugee crisis. i don't that as a real at least but they feel a threat and they do this. >> the questions will be what to make of the voters' verdict and where it leads them their policy

on refugees. dominic kane, al jazeera. for more on this, let's speak to torence beener live from berlin. good to have you on al jazeera. are these results in any way a blow to merkel's leadership in your opinion? >> i mean, in a sense, germany yesterday became a normal west european country. allwest european countries you have a right-wing populist party of about 15 to 25% of the vote. that's exactly what you see happening in germany a, and they had a very easy time with the opening of the refugee crisis. it's the only party that has an anti- -- decidedly anti-merkel stance. so to the degree you want to read yesterday's elections as a refer endsum on merkel's refugee policy, you have two-thirds of the electorate sporting the grand coalition. >> you are right in saying what we hearing? germany happening elsewhere in

europe like secure the orders and stop the asylum. do you think this populist movement is resonating and gaining support in german? >> reporter: yes. clearly because they have a cause now with the massive influx of muslim refugees, which, you know, 15 to 20 % of the populations population sees as a grave threat to germany. angela merkel is finally paying with this, the political price for moving her ruling christian democratic party ever closer to the center left. she took away votes from the green party from the social democrats and hasn't paid a political price until now. but right now, she may go down in history as the leader who oversaw the establishment of a party to the right of the christian democrats. >> which is quite significant. merkel is apparently trying to force through an eu deal with turkey to reduce the number of refugees and migrants entering

western europe. do you think these election results will have an impact at all on that? >> no. i don't think in the short-term this will only strengthen the resolve of mrs. merkel to push for this european deal. they wants a deal with turk ey that doesn't put any one european country, be it german or greece or austria at a disadvantage but to have a pan european solution to turkey. she tried to push through with this. plan b will only come in to effect if the deal falls through. >> good to hear your thoughts on this t thank you for joining us. director of the global public policy institute in berlin. thank you. >> thank you for having me. egypt's justice minister lost his job over iraqis remarks he made about the prophet muhammad. he asked if he would jail journalists. he applied saying he would arrest someone even if it was the prophet, himself. he was cogdetermined by human

>> there was more violence, and we were faced with no other choice but to carry on. >> it didn't take long before the images of peaceful protests disappeared. a fierce government crackdown and the bombardments were about silence, the voices of the opposition. >> abdullah, like many others found himself under fire in the popular up rises descended into civil war.

abdullah says their goal has been to achieve democreallies. they find names complex war that has not only become sectarian but drawn in regional and world powers. >> we didn't think the struggle would last five years. we didn't expect all of this blood shed. we didn't expect the whole world to stand against us. we didn't think that we would reach the point that we are today: a divided syria. we didn't go out on the streets to divide syria. we took to the streets for a free syria. it was a great feeling back then. we were saying what we wanted to say, and we felt free. >> a partial cease fire that reduced the violence allowed them to return to the streets. these demonstrations ain rebel-held areas were a reminder to the world of a popular up rise that began in 2011. the slogans and chants were negligence that said there is still an opposition that refuse to see reconcile with the government. zeina hodr, al jazeera.

australia's foreign minister hopes a deal can be done. >> it's certainly a goal. at official level at present, it's not something i am personally negotiating with foreign ministers. it's being dealt with by officials. >> if it happens, many families will be divided. in the protest is mostly personal but there are thousands of other iranians who could be sent back from australia to iran if a deal is reached. about 9,000 iranians who came to australia by boat are not, australia says, refugees. sending them home would be a signal to others not to try to come. the human rights activists are outraged. >> one of the fundamental principles of refugee law is a law that means that an individual who is at risk should not be returned to a country where they may be put at further risk. >> iran's human rights record is bad.

uprising and the people still have the same demands. we all saw what happened when the truce agreement was signed but was agreed upon and the result of these massive street protests to most of the parts outside of the control of the regime. the areas where people have the same demands that they had back in 2011. so, it's clear that what people wanted is still there. and the people are still very resilient in terms of their demands and what they are looking for. >> is that the case? tell us more about that. are the people not fed up with this war? i mean we have all seen the brutal images coming from places like maidia, starvation and so on and the people fleeing, of course. is there not a certain war fatigue among syrians? why would people make the same demands they were making five years ago? >> people are definitely fed up

with the war but not peaceful demands. demands are still there. they just cannot continue in a state of war. that's why we saw these horrific, especially after we saw these horrific images coming out of maidia, if something is not done quickly, we will see the haim horrific messages because the situation there is getting as bad as it was in maidiah about six months ago. damascus knows that very well. if there is no action that happens quickly, unfortunately, we will see a repeat of the same i am angl images. but where aid has been -- >> sorry. tell us about the aid delivery. i'm sorry to interrupt you. tell us more about the aid delivery and the affect it has had. >> in areas -- -- right. right. in areas where aid has been delivered, airs that are not besignaged, people are resilient, want to stay, and they want to achieve the demands

and that's why we saw these massive protests coming out in different areas of idlib. even in maidia, we saw the same protests coming out. whenever we deescalate violence, whenever the war comes down to this, people are going back to their original demands and to their freedom. >> all right. we spoke of action just a short while ago. the last time there was an attem attempt at talks, russia was conducting an intense military campaign over aleppo. this time around, there seems to be a cease clarify fire that's widely respected, more respected, anyway, than a lot of people expected. how hopeful are you, yasser that this time around the negotiations in geneva will lead to a more permanent solution, if you will? >> well, we can only remain hopeful. but if there is anything we have learned from dealing with the

russians or from dealing with the assad regime is that they always go to negotiations and they fail. they have done that in geneva. they have dodge that in the most recent talks in february. i see no reason why they don't do this again in march. obviously, the situation on the ground is different. now, we have, as you mentioned, an official who is more or less respected although there have been several, several, several breaches by the authorities over the last 48 hours, especially this morning. so, the regime seems to respect the facilities. they come up with these ideas of calling for elections in april when actually the plan that the special envoy was preparing is for legislative e legs to happen in 18 months. >> okay. it's clear the regime is playing a game. we don't know where it's going to lead to. >> thank you so much for sharing your views for us.
