but across the west we've got an area of high pressure giving relatively quiet conditions so that right work is why across the mid atlantic states through towards the eastern seaboard cold i had to get behind ten in chicago. the weather sponsored by cats all race. witness documentaries that open your eyes at this time on al-jazeera. this is al jazeera.

again i'm adrian for again this is that he is a live from al-jazeera headquarters in doha coming up in the next sixty minutes i saw fighters execute civilians in a revenge campaign in syria. catalonia years later is asked to appear before the spanish senate to explain his intentions on independence. the philippines declares its battle with i saw linked fighters over plus. i'm not angry with my mother i know she did what she could be ten she was young when she married the child bride recounts what forced her to run away from home. details are emerging of what's being called a massacre in the syrian town of. witnesses say that i still fighters carried out

a revenge campaign in the town killing over one hundred people before it's captured by government forces the syrian observatory for human rights says the killings in central holmes took place over a three week period i slick used the civilians of collaborating with the syrian regime. they attacked us like animals they came to kill us they killed children and women they broke the arms of the women and burned them before killing them they killed more than one hundred innocent people from the families of both civilians and military. wives out of gas. border with syria. is about this. adrian i spoke with senior opposition members people who has relatives in ten including one who lost seven relatives in that massacre his basically that what happened was that when. government. tain

town thousands of civilians wanted to flee the area they were blocked by isis fighters and when some of those civilians were determined to go and leave for safety there were executed by fighters tane is a town that changed hands many times the other passes was under the control of the government then it was were taken by taken back by the syrian government and each time it was taken by ice and i still would execute people it would accuse of being collaborating with the government and where the government takes over the city back again then it would execute people accusers collaborating with us and this is the the account we got from different people affiliated with the town of getting so it's a very delicate situation in that they say there are still thousands of people trapped in. getting hundreds of thousands of people passion fled the violence in syria many others stayed behind what do we know about that the

humanitarian situation across the country. a very delicate a very tough one syria has been covered extensively over the last six years the syria that we know extensively this war i sell syrian army but there's also another syria with sometimes tend to be overlooked the syria of those whose lives were shattered work by war cities that were changed by the conflict those left with nowhere to go but also the vulnerable the children of syria dying of hunger as we're going to see in this report i would like to warn our viewers other our report contains some very. during scenes. meet a baby has only a glimpse of life was in a war torn syria born a month ago in besiege east and she suffered a severe case of monetization admitted to

a local clinic doctors trying to save her but it was too late and on sunday. died. yes this is our fifty round of siege basic health and nutrition services we are facing many cases of among the truth we are understaffed but our biggest problem is that we can't get medicine and nutrition to save the children seven month old hussein mokhtar is another facing mandatory. we understand he has developed many serious health conditions and needs immediate treatment but doctors and charities are struggling to get him the right food and medicines if aid is delayed many like her saying may not live very much longer. so that is the how to lead we have serious cases here life threatening you know many children are suffering from malnutrition. panicking parents are rushing

to the few hospitals still operating in east and. when they get there they find hospital staff struggling to cope and it's not only the children who are affected most pregnant women in eastern are also under nourished and could face life threatening complications international aid organizations have been asking for free and continued access to mislead areas like is that something the syrian government with jacked saying those areas are not safe and although the u.n. and many countries have accused the government of starving people into submission no steps have been taken to under siege which is whitening the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. the u.s. secretary of state has made a surprise visit to afghanistan rex tillerson has met with the president and chief executive in the capital kabul it's his latest stop on a tour that second in riyadh and. with us in the studio patty kohain at this

point we didn't know anything about this visit did we if fact for a great chunk of time today nobody knew where rex tillerson was you know it was like this amazing game we're playing where's rex and doha it's not that big of a country it was silence and this doesn't happen we're told at eleven am local he'd be doing a event with embassy staff he wasn't there of course we can't report this because this would create panic here's what happened we were told off the record on background he's going to baghdad but can't tell anyone for security reasons and so that's what we were all expecting them to usually do that we've seen leaders just show up in countries that are dangerous but usually they don't lie about what's going to happen so what happened is the reporters are traveled with tillerson we're told me to for forty five in the morning today local time we can't tell you where we're going and so they got down there in this morning and were told oh we're going to afghanistan which can't tell anyone get on the plane like that was a smokefree they literally smokes are ok yeah so he lands in afghanistan ok that

happens sometimes they sort of mislead or they just disappear and we don't know but and usually they wouldn't let the press tell anyone where he was until he landed back in doha so even though they're painting this picture that afghanistan is going to be on the right track think about this they thought the security situation was so bad that they couldn't announce that he was in the country at all while he was there much less when he was in the plane back this is after what happened to to secretary of defense mattis when when he went to afghans that was just a matter of weeks ago he landed at the airport some rockets were hit hit the airport no serious injuries but it's obvious that they learned lessons from that but the fact that they didn't let us know he was in afghanistan until he was back in doha i can't say that all the years i've been covering washington i've ever seen anything like that so what does this tell us. about the trumpet ministrations approach to afghanistan and how it differs from the obama administration's approach and whether whether the trump approach to afghanistan is going to work well in that is the big question trying to. do everything different than obama what he's done in

afghanistan is loosen up the restrictions a lot of people in the military before would tell you they felt micromanagement of the obama administration basically commanders in the field have more authority to launch air strikes to worry less about civilian casualties to put it that way but added four thousand troops asking nato for more troops so this is not a dramatic change we didn't see the obama administration put a great deal of emphasis on diplomacy having the negotiated settlement with the taliban and it's no different in this administration the only difference is the state department has been gutted of most of its senior leadership including the person who was responsible for the afghanistan pakistan strategy so it's not clear that diplomacy high up there on the list they're not talking even about a military victory anymore they just want the taliban to know that they can't win either ok so towson's back in doha he's going to fly back in the same direction again tomorrow to go to pakistan try to wreck a frequent flyer miles out the words at what's he going to tell pakistani leaders

particularly when it comes to to afghanistan well you know this is a truck administration that has been very vocal critic critical of the pakistani government we've heard that before but this has been different they've been really harsh and this is where the confusion comes from they had a big row with the pakistani foreign minister was there and according to the u.s. side they gave pakistan a list here's a menu of things that we want you to do to fight counterterrorism more than you've been doing the next day i had an on the record lunch with the pakistani foreign minister and said ok what did they tell you you need to do and his answer was nothing that in give us anything to do and i thought at the time but how are you ever going to be able to say hey look we did a b. and c. and he said they didn't tell us what that anything needed to be done so this is going to be incredibly contentious you see the trump of ministration sort of plane a little bit of the pakistan versus india. you've been making very nice lately trying to send a message to pakistan so it is going to be very difficult maybe at times but he is back and we know now we know where the secretary of state you and i know that we'll

be talking again at this time tomorrow many thanks indeed. still to come on the program the ro hinge a crisis the focus of a meeting of donor nations in geneva we'll tell you more. look at how japan could soon be moving ahead with major changes to its decades old pacifist constitution. and take a look at this time i go keeper poor guy the hard way that you should never celebrate too early here comes. the. boys ball but for a little later. the leader of spain's catalonia region has been invited to the national parliament for talks on thursday the invite comes after colonias regional government said that it would convene a session of parliament to discuss moves by madrid to take control of the region's

institutions on friday some m.p.'s in madrid will vote on whether to impose direct rule once that is were isn't approved the central government could install a representative to govern the region. is that what we make of this invite then the tasha. well it's certainly very significant because it is the first time that the catalan president carlos moore has been invited to madrid for talks it's something that he has certainly complained about in the past he has said the madrid wasn't open to dialogue what we don't know is whether or not praised the man has actually accepted this invitation and whether he will accept this invitation all we know is that senators in madrid have invited him to come and explain his objections to article one hundred five that is the article which madrid will use to impose direct rule on the region now in terms of whether or not we might expect any breakthroughs on

thursday when that invitation has been given to it's hard to tell we know that the catalan m.p.'s here will meet that day to try and discuss the situation but what we've seen really over the last few days is both sides really hardening their positions madrid is intent on imposing the storage room because it says you simply can't have part of the country which just decides off its own back it wants to break away and then on the other side you have those processing leaders who say that they will not accept direct rule from madrid so it's not going to be easy for madrid to impose direct. i think that's something of an understatement i think nobody believes that it will be easy even those in madrid itself i mean you're talking about madrid wanting to dissolve the parliament sack ministers imposes control on the regional police maybe a regional television television station and in all of those institutions you're going to have people who simply oppose the idea of being told what to do directly

by madrid they're going to come up against a lot of opposition on the other hand it's really worth noting that there are many people in this region who simply do not want to breakaway who disagree with those who are pushing for session they say that they are pleased that madrid is taking this stand. maybe they should have done so before because they want to regain control of this region and restore order because there's a lot of concern here over the impact that this crisis is having on the region both economically and politically rather tasha many thanks indeed natasha potter there live in barcelona troops in the philippines celebrating the end of fighting with ice linked fighters in morocco we earlier on monday the government announced the end of its five month battle against the multi armed group it captured the southern city in may ransacking banks and shops and taking civilians hostage the defense minister says that the final forty two fighters were killed in

a gun battle with his troops. in the one building. there was a five firefight so they were finished no more on the inside. despite that defeat of pro i still find the threat from other groups remains the dogon reports. we traveled to mugging down a province in the southern philippines to meet one of its most controversial fighters. why didn't doc is the commander of the elite unit of the more islamic liberation front it is the biggest armed group in southeast asia that is negotiating with the philippine government for greater autonomy for the more people in the south. this is legalized in march a place which has suffered violent conflict for decades why he didn't talk and his

men are taking us to a new territory they recently took over from pro isis and. we don't want what happened to happen here. but it takes more than just the m.i.l.f. the combat i see here we need cooperation from the military and even local government officials. that are always a city in mindanao that has recently been recaptured by the philippine military from a nice little inspired group called the mounted months of incessant fighting has left ruins and hundreds of thousands of its people displaced the m.i.l.f. says i saw brings with it and idiology they called fitna a radical set of beliefs they say that pits muslims against each other this has created divisions not just among fighters here but also family members some of these men admit they have fought against their own relatives fighters of the more

islamic liberation front had to swim through the lays in order to get through these trenches this area was the last stronghold of a pro i saw a group it was a close quarter combat that lasted for seven hours. these pro eisel fighters belong to the bank some are islamic movement a group that broke away from the m.i.l.f. when peace negotiations broke down in two thousand and eight all this radical element radical group. where there is failure in the peace process and then radical elements from outside trying to exploit this is. why did the south almost broke away from the m.i.l.f. out of frustration he has been the fighting for over thirty years he says and has seen too many negotiations fail. is most painful he says when he has to fight

his own. jim duggan al jazeera province southern philippines an international conference is underway in geneva with an appeal for urgent funds for the hinge of refugees the european union's co-hosting the event saying that the humanitarian situation is that suffering on a cattle is catastrophic scale the e.u. is calling for an end to the violence and the army's military operations in rakhine state bangladeshi officials say that they're now sheltering a million refugees the sheer speed size and scope. of the rohingya refugee crisis as that has occurred over the last nearly two months. resulted in a shocking humanitarian emergency that is i believe unparalleled in this region and in many parts of the world where that conference is being closely watched followed

by people in bangladesh are reported tanveer choudhry has more now from a camp for the ranger and cox is bizarre. will depend on today's pledging conference to be held in geneva co-sponsored by the european union and u.n. agencies now things of considerably improving the refugee camps since the big late august when things were very chaotic it was the host community who were the first responders then the presence of a lot of aid agencies in this camp. in a field hospital sanitation and water facilities as well now despite all the good effort led by the aid agencies and bang of those government a lot of the basic and essential needs in this camps are still not been met we decided to talk to someone not knowing i refuges here this them if they know about the conference most of them have no idea about the conference but they say the food they are getting is not adequate there are nearly six hundred thousand new rohingya

refugees in bangladesh according to a new u.n. aid now most of them are woman children and infant at least sixty percent of them are children the aid agencies and then of those government needs to have a long term strategy a sustainable strategy for the better living conditions schooling as well as health and security we know that most of these refugees are not going back to me and my dreadful about what is going on there any time soon unless there is a long term strategy many of them will suffer in the camps we have seen camps from earlier years haven't improved much hopefully in the donor conference they'll be a positive outcome to address the issue of refugees as well as members of the host community corresponding to have a gem jim has been following developments from the conference in geneva he's with me here in the studio now just how urgent is this crisis than what are we hearing out of the humanitarian and government officials who are present in geneva and it's

extremely dire what we've heard now is that around three hundred forty million dollars has been raised thus far today and that's. not enough because the u.n. these agencies these officials that are there they've all said that they need at least four hundred and thirty four million dollars to meet the needs just the basic needs of their hands are refugees that have fled so much violence in me and more for the next six months so we're not there yet but there is a note of optimism i'm hearing from u.n. officials that are at the conference in geneva they do believe that more will be pledged throughout the day they do think that the international community is stepping up but they are talking about how critical the situation is i was speaking with our condo she's a spokesperson for unicef in geneva she was saying that as of a couple of days ago they were sounding the alarm bells telling the international community that if they didn't start meeting the fund raising goals and they had only reached up until yesterday about eleven percent of where they needed to be for

the next six months that they weren't going to be able to provide aid to the children that are there over sixty percent of the refugees that fled myanmar there are now in bangladesh are kids so that really shows you just how critical is it to asia news and you're just back from caucuses with yourself to tell us something of what what you saw and i mean you've you you're an old hand at this you've covered numerous refugee crises over the is how does this compare you know adrian we heard the word appalling being utilized by a lot of the aid workers and journalists that have been covering the ranter crisis before me and the cameramen fed the and been they had gotten there a couple of weeks ago and that was absolutely appropriate the conditions that the rains are refugees at a flood so much violence i mean more living and they are appalling what i saw there was horrific the worst that i have ever seen in what is approaching seven years now of covering various refugee in displacement crises around the globe terrifying the kind of trauma that this population has experienced thus far is something that is

hard to get your mind around and you are hearing these stories from adults and from children of the u.n. has. what has been going on in myanmar textbook example of ethnic cleansing the accounts of atrocities that we heard the testimonies that we recorded from people there are something that even when you are seeing and hearing it in front of your eyes it is hard to understand to this day it is hard for me to comprehend what we saw and heard while we were there and have had many thanks al jazeera is. japan's prime minister shinzo abbay has strengthened his party's stand against north korea after he was returned to power with a resoundingly election victory his conservative coalition what a huge majority a set of clock reports from tokyo. it was the election result she had hoped for his liberal democratic party and coalition partner won three hundred twelve of

the four hundred sixty five seats delivering them a two thirds majority in parliament. north korea played a central role in his campaign and by wants to strengthen diplomatic channels pledging greater international cooperation conflict sort of we will conduct strong diplomacy as tensions over north korea are increasing on the fifth of next month president trump is scheduled to visit japan kindly called me by phone already today and when he visits we will spend time discussing the issues of north korea and aim to confirm our close alliance voters weren't just focused on north korea in this election but some felt opposition parties failed to provide them with an alternative agenda to our buys that was worth voting for. position parties need to become stronger and the result reflected many people's wish to see that happen i mean. instead of supporting the liberal democratic party actively i think voters didn't have any choice. the newly formed party of hope which many considered with

the major threat didn't get as many seats as expected the other new party on the block the constitutional democratic party has become the main opposition tripling the number of seats in the lower house since i will say this election victory as a strong mandate to deliver on his reform agenda and act on his lifelong mission to revise japan's pacifist constitution and give the country self defense forces a more active role but the issue is controversial and voters are divided over constitutional change with the escalating nuclear threat from north korea will be hoping it's enough to convince voters to back its campaign to allow japan's military to respond to direct threats but any change to the constitution requires approval first by two thirds of both the upper and lower house and then a public referendum sarah clarke al-jazeera tokyo. time for a weather update if you're in western europe right now you'll know it's not very pleasant if you're heading there any time soon take

is at the top of the list with seventy six percent of women marrying there before the age of eighteen globally seven hundred million women alive today were married as children age groups fear that figure could go up to one point two billion by the year twenty fifty other serious nicholas hark reports now from the town of get your wife. in there was twelve years old when her mother asked her to marry a man as old as her father. she ran away from school and hid in the village where her mother insisted on the wedding. ceremony was arranged and then they became pregnant before she ran away after abandoning her child thirteen year old worked as a prostitute. pregnant again he's now in hiding in a field house in the capital. so. i'm not angry with my mother anymore she did what she could my dad beat her she was young to you when she married my mother was just

doing what's best for me. young girls marrying old men is the norm here twenty thousand underage girls marry every day mostly in south asia and rural west africa says the world bank and save the children under-age weddings are often organized by parents in the village when they grew up boys are seen as contribution to the family by farming or working girls do the same but they are seen as an extra mouth to feed and so few get to finish school instead they marry and become pregnant early hoping to give birth to a boy not year olds yet. so this is an days home she hasn't been back here for years just a few months ago she called her mother for the first time to tell her that she's sounding well but she didn't tell her her whereabouts so i'm going to. let mad then they i ask for in days mother. so i went there she is.

but tells me she's ashamed for what her daughter did for cuba it's better to be married early rather than to deal with the shame of an accidental pregnancy little ritual and i don't regret it i manage safety by marrying her off. but the pain of losing her daughter is evident. of course i miss my daughter she says i want her back. and they misses her too but she's not ready to return home if she gives birth to a girl she'll call her after her mother she promises to guide her and help her choose the right husband if it's a boy they'll be free to choose whoever he wants to marry for and day life for girls is harder. in unforgiving. hawk down does the right to a city go. telephonic schmidt is the c.e.o.

of save the children of the former prime minister of denmark she's with us now from dakar senegal via skype good to have you with us our west african leaders responding to your demand that they put an end to child marriage i think it's very important to underline this is not all of them on this is actually the media is in africa putting a spotlight on this enormous problem. but our girl marries early it's a violation of her human rights and forces not a one off while ation it is something that will follow that go for the rest of her life and x. you have children as well so that's why i am so pleased that we are meeting here today with the leaders from west and central africa and the prime minister of senegal is hosting this we're very honored that he's posting this and also then we have international n.g.o.s like save the children times trying to do what we can to help and i think by joining forces holding hands we can actually end this so

practice of marrying girls that should just be good also should be going into education instead of being brides and mothers and we can only do that if we join forces so how do you go about changing cultural attitudes to the practice many people in that part of the world in the more remote areas see nothing wrong with it . absolutely but i also meet a lot of people so they head west and central africa that i'm worried about this and do see it as a violation of these skills human rights and protective today we have young people here we have girls at this conference saying exactly the same and that's us look about look at the magnitude of this problem and that's why i'm cold again and approach and see every seven seconds go on the fifteen gets married in this part of the world is one out of seven girls that get married when they're on the safe team that is not right we have all these girls becoming married and not ready for that

they're not ready to become mothers and that actually means that you stream the harmful for these so these girls too many of them die in childbirth many of them drop out of school the children they have are not as healthy as they should be and the agency of these young women is completely lost so they have no rights within their families sometimes i thought what the message of abuse and that's why you should important let make go why not make girls why i've met them through their education and met make sure that only women get to marry i think that's a cultural change that we should all join hands and in creating and that's why i'm so pleased today in senegal that we have religiously leaders among self who are saying that they want to do that part in changing the conversation the culture the norms that leads to young girls getting married really gets to achieve any thanks did have afforded them thank you very much. doctors in gaza say

that a pair of conjoined twins need to be taken abroad so they can be separated although they might not survive the girls were born on saturday and this is area in section operation after a full term pregnancy that joined at the abdomen and pelvis but have separate heads and lungs dr so they don't have the experience needed to help the girls who are currently in a stable condition. on the separations not possible not only in gaza but all of palestine because we do not have medical teams that have dealt with such cases before they need very advanced medical centers and experience with separating children like this like in the united states of america or saudi arabia in iran the police have seized more than four hundred tons of illegal drugs since march since march this year the u.n. says that iran security forces are making three quarters of the world's opium c.c.s. at a quarter of global heroin ceases but people there are still able to feed their

like methadone could help wean addicts off harder substances but the focus has been on law enforcement more than five thousand people convicted under drug laws are awaiting execution new rules could allow courts to spare the lives of people forced to work as drug mules but dealers will still face the death penalty. iran is also a major hub for drugs being smuggled into europe the middle east and east asia the iranian government spends millions of dollars every year patrolling off an ungoverned and rough terrain. police estimate four thousand officers have been killed in counternarcotics operations in the last forty years according to the latest report from the un office on drugs and crime most of which sold in iran comes from of gonna stand and pakistan across a land border that stretches the entire length of the country now that's nearly two thousand kilometers of off an untamed territory the wild west of south and central

asia traffickers even use catapults to launch drugs over the border and into iran it gives you a sense of the enormity of the challenge for law enforcement meanwhile rehabilitation has become a business clinics are popping up all over the country has some says iranians need more education about the dangers of drug use we don't have any discourse we don't have any bars we don't have any problem such a discard nothing and those people the young generation they think that this is illegal so it is good right there where the government said that it's in a godly thing that it's good that they are just you know making it illegal like drinking like anything like girls you know like your friend and their friends really got here whether it's illegal it's given you know that act that we are interesting to use that to see that some lawmakers acknowledge that strict rules aren't enough to stop people from using drugs but in safe havens like this perhaps addicts can learn they don't need drugs to get high. al-jazeera to her on
