secretary general the members of sixty council expressed deep concern about the situation in state acknowledging the nischelle attack on men mart security forces or into n.t. fifth august should be on mass stop all its military operations in the state now that's what the secretary general says does the security council share that view now that. the statement that a readout is what we have agreed there are some who see that as a very weak statement. macey so why is the security council not being tougher there's always a log jam when there's a lack of unity and when one of the permanent five members is opposed to action in this case diplomats point to china a long standing ally of me on mars military james al-jazeera of the united nations

a stabber xing so-called deescalation zones in syria was signed by russia turkey and iran in may there's less fighting in some of the areas but syrians who have moved there expecting them to be safer say they continue to face and strikes and heavy gunfire. the opposition says the deescalation zone's initiative gives syrian government forces an opportunity to make further military gains and they have refused any suggestion that russia or iranian soldiers could be part of any full monitoring the zones the northern syrian province of italy is potentially included in the plan but there are opposition groups immediately that the international community and the syrian government say terrorists and viable targets. as well as the talks here in cannes like stan seven rounds of un brokered talks in geneva have also failed not one of opposition groups and syrian government representatives held
5:16 am
face to face discussions the main syrian opposition insists president bashar al assad has no role in a future transitional government the u.n. envoy in syria says the syrian government has not budged in its unwillingness to discuss the political transition the implementation of the plan for so-called deescalation zones will be at the heart of talks here again the complexity of the situation on the ground in syria and the lack of agreement over which countries could potentially offer troops to monitor the zones shows just how difficult reaching consensus could be struck at al-jazeera the start of all runs out is a senior analyst with the out of center in washington d.c. and last year he took part in this study and talks in geneva as a representative of syrian civil society is joining us now from washington d.c. thank you very much indeed for your time sir compared to the talks that you took part in last year do you detect any change in tone on motivation for these talks in
5:17 am
astonishment. unfortunately not i don't see actually any any results solve or honey outcomes of these seven rounds of negotiations neither in geneva or in. what tom and outside are shows now became a game changer russia actually deployed more troops and syria has more actually what they call darshan bullies in other areas and this is why i. became the game changer where are the balance in the end we have of the government against us you don't know but and then we we can see for sure that the us government has any intention or even any indication to go into the negotiation table with a good fear to. to discuss the issue off but it's got to transition over the asia
5:18 am
or any issues related to reconstruction or i need you to end the conflict in syria as you mentioned i mean there's no agreement so far about the future of president bashar al assad is it possible do you think to find a solution without talking about the pros the future of the president. as the syrians anyone actually can see that bashar i said. can stay one more i would not want one more day that the syrian they will say that that's mean there is no transition. best shot at themselves to their system this is why when we can see this unity it means as i said himself this is why i need i need all of that i said i said in the future that's me and basically there is not phones ition and this is why i said who is responsible on on wishing syria into the age of the civil war now it's being seven years of conflict with the full intention
5:19 am
of the assad government to actually to overcome that peaceful revolution that has to be the prize of his responsibility has to be there bright or for actually all the blood being on the ground in syria and i don't think that the man who would syria into the middle of the civil war he will be able to bully the country together again united against terrorism and i guess different foreign forces this is why syria has to start a bullet to go to transition where the us said has no place in in within this transition what do you think is the immediate future then for the people on the ground in syria if the two groups on either side of this debate will simply refuse to meet face to face as they have been in the past and refused to reach some sort of agreement on the press in the future of president bashar al assad if he and his
5:20 am
future is the main stumbling block to moving this process forward. but we have to understand this is actually is not not short of crisis this is a media crisis and that bashar assad and his regime responsible as i said in are actually putting syria in the middle of the civil war they should not be a part of the transition itself now syria has three different prizes we have actually their eyes over the terrorist organization like al qaida isis and then we have there are more than seven million refugees and then we have the but it's got to transition we have to link all this this crisis together to put into a strategy and the international community focused on only one aspect of it the united states focused on ice's. its focus on me on that if nobody
5:21 am
cared about that transition it has to come with the international community. to put all of these pieces together and look to the country and look to the aspirations of the people more than a half a million lost their lives and we can't accept actually to go back in syria as it was before two thousand and eleven this is why the responsibility of the international community under saddam city of the international powers. to take the lead in to see to that but it's got transition not only focusing primarily on on eliminating isis runs out of thank you very much indeed for your time one month after a landslide that killed hundreds and said i leone tens of thousands remain displaced in makeshift camps waiting to be really housed the government fears the could be more landslides and of cold and residents around the disaster zone to leave the area but many are refusing to do so reports from the capital freetown.

everyone who's eligible to vote has to register again. at least seven million people by january but only four hundred out of an estimated three thousand are just ration kits are available electoral officials say the rest of the equipment is expected to arrive in the country in a few weeks we appear to be stampeding into the registration process. without necessarily having a full appreciation of what the entire process is going to be about so it's important that we do get a new one and it's important that we start the process but without adequately planning for the process well setting ourselves up for disaster the presidential and parliamentary elections are next year the world's oldest elected leader is running for re-election when the date for the polls is announced beating up it one knows no voted anywhere in the world is perfect but he just hopes to become pals but at least be acceptable to many. still ahead on al-jazeera rebuilding

that they've probably not been to since they were toddlers. in countries that speak languages they may not even know it's not in our nation's interest so i do believe that there's got to be a solution to this problem but at the same time i think it's only reasonable it makes perfect common sense that we deal with the problem that was the root cause of this which is we do not have operational control of our borders. the president of the european commission has delivered an upbeat state of the union address saying the e.u. is back on track after britain's vote to leave john cloud junkers said economic recovery and unity between the members means europe is now ready to move forward all of this leads me to believe. you know. we have now the window of opportunity but if you look. so. let us make the most of the moment. you know six spain's

a lawsuit against the japanese government's decision to withhold schools subsidies quigley's in the ports from tokyo but. this is no ordinary school in japan it's north korean. established a year after the second world war six hundred korean students study here almost half of them are of north korean descent and. when japan colonized just more than seventy years ago the people there migrated to japan and some were forced to move into excruciating work at coal mines and installing railways high school tuition fees here cost around three hundred twenty dollars a month for each student while north korea distributes money to help offset these fees it leaves a shortfall in twenty ten japan democratic party began subsidy scheme but in that same year north korea launched an artillery attack on a south korean island and the application process for korean schools in japan was

temporarily suspended. two years later the government. placed a total ban on north korean schools receiving the subsidies that led sixty two former students of the pro pyongyang school to suit the japanese government but the take your district court has ruled against the students. i am outraged and sad it was an unforgivable ruling that was made because of political pressure and it encourages discrimination rather than. the children's right to education should be guaranteed that's why this ruling is unjust and bringing in diplomacy all together made this ruling unfair the government told the court it excluded the north korean schools from the jewish anway biscayne because of the school's close relationships with north korea and because the schools couldn't provide enough evidence that they were being operated correctly view ultimately supported by the tokyo district court. many blame the recent crisis for
5:44 am
the judgment that the japanese we spoke to support subsidies for the north koreans if ethnic korean residents in japan are going to live in japan for their lifetime i think the government should guarantee or support their educational fees but if they're going back to north korea or if their nationality is north korean i don't think japan needs to do it lawsuits have been filed in five courts across japan in july a court in hiroshima ruled for the government for two weeks later in a sucker the students one two cases still to be heard the students say they will launch an appeal against the ruling craig leeson al-jazeera tokyo the us government has ordered to poppins an agency is to remove a russian made me love products from their information systems the department of homeland security says it's concerned the cyber security company has ties to state
