a three year siege the government told them they could survive if they surrendered their homes i mean a half thousand came to this camp but basic facilities a plastic sheet is what separates the people in sight from the really cold wind that you can feel out in this camp and you can see the conditions because this is what they have for sewage there because charities are providing help but it's not enough the refugees put on layers of clothes to stay warm during the harsh winter because there is no heating managers of the camps or just sending more aid is not a long term solution to bringing us aid boxes or heating doesn't solve our problem the problem is the regime solve that and the people will return home we do such as and they have more urgent needs. for users to live in my child has a blood disease and he needs medicine i am the wife of the martyr and have for orphans i lost my husband and there's no one to help i don't want anything i want just a medicine her story resonates with the syrians forced from their homes and more

a big meat opportunity i golden opportunity at the end of this year when in fact duly there a clear indication by many thighs that the military operations are coming to a clue the leader of the opposition delegation though was equally forthright pinning the blame for the failure squarely on the shoulders of the team from damascus. of the world the regime has refused to wreck talks refused indirect talks refuse even the agenda put forward by jimmy stewart is rejected everything it means the regime rejected the peace process after nearly seven years of civil war in syria with the death toll now stretching beyond four hundred thousand and with millions of refugees forced on the home now is the time to find a new initiative behind the scenes talks are underway to find a method to revive this peace process but ultimately the solution lies in the hands

of two leaders in washington and moscow david chaytor al jazeera geneva or from palestine to pakistan bell asia to japan protests are planned on friday against the u.s. president's decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel the outrage over don trump's decision to move the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem hasn't died down since the announcement last week it was widely condemned with muslim leaders instead declaring jerusalem as the capital of pastime let's go live now to harry forsett in jerusalem for so what are we expecting there today harry. i suppose few minutes. are expected clearly forces here are expecting protect. the protests that we saw after friday prayers last friday if i just get some of the cameramen to pack quite a bit you can see over the other side of the square in front of damascus gate here

that they are erecting barriers up and down the steps so they're obviously trying to make this just a pathway through to the old city of jerusalem towards the locks a mosque compound where you see many people arriving from around israel and also the occupied west bank as they prepared to go and pray at the third holiest site in islam so. want people to come out here after the prayers it would seem from these barriers that are being erected there are more security forces here than there were at this time last week as well not really does buttress what we've been hearing from the palestinian factions who have been calling for wider scale protests this week after the organizers have done a conference all right thanks so much very forces there. new guinea supreme court has ruled in favor of refugees on a prison camp one man a silent the ruling dismissed an attempt to stop compensation for the asylum seekers earlier ruled the human rights of all those centers train is controversial

offshore refugee camp had been breached the camp was closed a month ago but many refugees refused to go saying they feared being attacked andrew thomas is live for us in sydney so does this mean now that they will get compensation andrew. it certainly opens the door for that very distinct possibility what is papa new guinea and core to say is that the refugees are entitled to claim compensation it will be up to a further court to decide whether they get this or not now bear with me here because the legal technicality difficult but it's important what happens is that a year and a half ago now back in april twenty sixth in the supreme court in pop and you can he said that the prison that these refugees were kept on on mount of saddam was unconstitutional and it breached those refugees human rights at that point lawyers started to prepare a case to claim compensation they launched it in november of two thousand and

sixteen up a new guinea's government says that they lodged that claim to light it was more than six months after that prison had been declared illegal and it had been shut down they had been made into an open facility state and that therefore their claim of compensation was invalid the lawyers for the refugee said no because although it was a twenty six the april twenty sixth thing that the court said the prison was illegal it was more than three weeks later before the facility became an open one and therefore that six months ran beyond when they made their claim so a very technical elements have a potentially a hugely significant one because this could open the door to hundreds of thousands of dollars of compensation per refugee amounting to many millions of dollars overall does it mean anything in terms of a fate where they end up. no not immediately it doesn't that prison it was closed down as you say at the end of october and ironically the

refugees inside refused to leave because they didn't feel safe in the nearby town where they have all now been evicted from that prison they're now living in open facilities in the nearby town about half an hour away from where they were kept that doesn't affect their immediate future but of course if each of them is entitled to what looks like about three hundred thousand dollars potentially if they were to win that amount of compensation in a court process that is now open to them and that could have a material impact of course on all of their lives wherever they end up long term whether they have to stay in papua new guinea as australia's government wants whether they go to the united states under a deal that a few have moved on and many others have not yet but they could end up in the u.s. as well money would obviously help important to say i spoke to the lawyer involved in this case just a few minutes ago from port moresby in p. and g. he says his understanding is that any compensation will be paid by australia's government not happen you get us all right andrew thomas there thanks for that. our
