the nation is rife dismissal and denial of well documented accusations and evidence is part of genocide the listening post provides a critical counterpoint challenging mainstream media narrative at this time on al-jazeera. china has a serious shortage of women and a lot of. one of those desperately seeking any way they can at this time on al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. hello welcome to this al-jazeera news hour live from doha i'm martine denis coming

up in the next sixty minutes turkey is president says a military assault on a kurdish enclave in syria is imminent. the palestinian leader mahmoud abbas denounces is donald trump's recognition of jerusalem as a slap in the face and calls for internationally led peace negotiations. president trump blames the democrats for the deadlock over the u.s. immigration. and the israeli prime minister goes to india with plans to strengthen economic and defense ties. the turkish president rather have tyo bedouin has vowed to launch a military operation on a major kurdish stronghold in northern syria he's pledged to attack african in the coming days it's controlled by the y.p. gee that's occurred. group considered by turkey to be terrorists but he'll be all

for his announcement the y.p. g. shelled as it is a city held by turkish backed forces and there are already reports of turkish troop movements both along the northern syrian border and at the edge of y. p.g. held territory well this move comes after reports that the u.s. coalition is planning to build a thirty thousand strong border security force in the same region in northern syria and that would include the y.p. g. the u.s. had previously supplied to the kurds turkey is condemning the move with and warning the u.s. not to interfere in its operations. god willing in the coming days as we will continue the operation to purge our southern border from terror which the first step was taken with the euphrates shelled operation and now i with the frame. is genuine in that we expect the market to support turkey and its legitimate outlets

we expect our friends to display not achieved a perfect system and this issue of survival let is so sensitive and so critical for our country during the african operation i hope these powers will not give rise to error by appearing on the same side as the terror organization well bill schneider is a professor of public policy at george mason university he says it's a volatile situation with many factions perceiving competing interests. it's a real danger because the turks are threatening to invade northern syria and destroy the kurdish forces there the y p g the united states is building up a border security force with in alliance with the y p g the problem is the kurds the united states knows and has discovered that the kurds are the most effective fighting force against the assad government and against the islamic state in syria and they've been very successful at that that's the american purpose but the turks

were guard the kurds and the y. p.g. as a dire threat they label them terrorists and so does the united states and they are determined to destroy the terror of the kurdish military force so there's a real conflict of interest here. by and large the islamics they forces do not hold any territory any longer in syria the kurds have been very effective in limiting their territorial strongholds but they are still a very serious threat and a threat also to the government of assad the government of assad is crucial here because it's it regards the kurds as an enemy trying to overthrow it at the same time the kurds are fighting the islamic state it's a very complicated situation and russia and iran are allies of the assad government in syria so you've got about five competing interests going on all of the same time all prepared to fight and this provides for a very dangerous situation unicef the un's children's agency is calling on all

factions in the syrian conflict to lower restrictions and allow aid to reach children the government offensive in italy province is now full surround one hundred twenty thousand people from their homes but as the displaced see places a sanctuary many if and continue to face danger and al jazeera crew captured these pictures valse filming in a makeshift camp. no law no law hold up what do we know what to do you know that's not good i don't know if you don't feel afraid if we have to repeat this you know law. but will that will be. well as you could see from these pictures a missile hit very close to civilians including families who fled from earlier

bombing attacks in nearby hama countryside al-jazeera correspondent you saw him that militant fadel can be seen among the men women and children as they try to find cover. well the aid agencies are saying that they're pretty much overwhelmed by the scale of need in syria and they're warning that if this kind of bombardment continues a million people could be displaced and they will amass very close to the turkish border so in him cause we're live reports of a roma refugee camp in northern italy. up to. lost his home when the syrian government bombed aniston hama in december he arrived in ram a refugee camp in and left province fifteen days ago with his wife and five children the fifteen year old former stays he had very good business back home but he had to leave it all behind the family went to singe or first taking refuge in a cave but the safety they found there didn't last for long government forces were advancing on the area abdel and his wife say they were afraid of being killed and

i'm not happy i'm not used to living right this here you don't feel free we are sleeping with our children in one now we were hiding in a cave with the regime forces of ponce towards our lads we were afraid they would kill us and left in the after the bombardment in the east hama a lot of people moved to sunder the first few bombardments of tyson of the regime started their fight we had to leave again and stay out in the world sleeping under trees aid organizations came to us to this camp but you see this is not home. the camp was built only a couple of weeks ago and is already poor five thousand people are here but still more are arriving every day most of them are poor families from missed and how much as the weather gets colder the main fear here is illness hygiene is a major issue so much of the prevention falls on the women here as they are the

ones responsible for feeding and cleaning in dire conditions. is the primary needs are tents on things like marshes blankets on carpets also items that are specially needed by children and women you name it people and syrian leaders even finding a nail clipper is an issue. so a viable mother to cation is the priority here many of these children have been on the run from the bombings for some time some of them haven't been to school in years they're left to think again and escape from the sad reality of their homeland people have managed to escape the regime's air strikes and the fight against arsenal they were able to find reference here in these camps in northern. for now they're safe but no one knows what will happen if your syrians come to the region saying i'm going to solo al-jazeera northern adlib. saying shame on you the

palestinian president mahmoud abbas labeled donald trump's peace efforts the slap of the century addressing the p.l.o. central council reiterated that he won't accept the trumpet ministration as a mediator in talks with israel and he called for an internationally led process president trumps decision to recognize you're a slim as israel's capital has sparked worldwide condemnation and protests across the region but rival palestinian groups hamas and islamic jihad didn't turn up for the meeting saying there's a lack of agreement on all on how to deal with washington's imran khan is our correspondent in ramallah. it was a very strong speech from president bush who debussy said that drew slim was the jewel in the crown seats in the capital of any future palestinian state criticise the us president of the time for removing jerusalem from any future palestinian state via tweet he was also very critical of these very critical languages let's

just take a listen to what some of that language sounded like. and will never see as i drive down the aisle we say that politically driven person is our capital in our religion is how comfortable graphically it's our company will. but it was removed from the map with a tweet from mr trump as say you did that i would go now we say no to trump we won't accept his plan we cited a deal of the century is the slop of the century. but it was just about jerusalem it was also about the palestinian factions as well he was very critical of islamic jihad and hamas for not coming to the central council meeting he said that this was about politics and this was about the future of jerusalem the future of the palestinian state now he did criticize us and i thought. for that positions he also said that this was

a toy where the palestinians needed to get together because jerusalem is the religious cultural and political capital of palestine so very strong words coming out from president mahmoud abbas but this isn't the end all the central council meeting throwing ahead to monday now that will be to these decisions that will be issued they will we shape any future negotiations and how those decisions will be implemented because. i've been speaking to mohammed away simplistic all analyst on palestinian and u.s. affairs and he recommends that palestinians simply ignore the u.s. president and continue to resist the occupation. what trump is trying to do is to get the gulf arabs the ones with the a lot of money to open up their countries and they are their airports for the israelis in order to force deal down the throat of the palestinians by threatening to cut down bit aid from the gulf and from the united states because he's already

cut aid to the to the placenta therapy and he's now threatening to cut aid also to be the owner so now and then we have history with the united states government and there wasn't anything delivered to the palestinians since ninety nine to fleece is also a port so nothing is being negotiated over there except over the deal of the century for israel and some arab states who are willing to cooperate with the israelis against other arab states and blockading gaza that is located because of cutter's position on the policies of mr mr crump and the israelis the best thing for the palestinians to do now is sit back and wait him out wait mr crump out because mr trump have no political experience no negotiating experience in politics maybe you know how to negotiate to build a hotel or bill because you know that failed but he does not have the experience he

does not have the power even and the pull around the world in order to bring a peace a peace that will be good for everybody at ups israelis palestinians and jews. in this news hour including. iran the reinstates telegram a social media hype that many say is vital to the national economy. outside of this castle a church in southern chile a protest against pope francis i was. coming up i'll tell you why many people in this country. as the pope makes his way to. flawless wife tipper past six performance says this double olympic champion to pillman china peter will have the details in sport.

the president says it's the democrats who are holding up negotiations on the dock a program that's protected hundreds of thousands of young undocumented immigrants from deportation and allow them to legally work president trump ended the program in september congress has until march to renegotiate it. would never grow the market you know what we thought. would be you know people. you. think you were. ready. for. work. and want to work for. you. all right let's go live to patty culhane our correspondent who's in washington d.c. so the whole issue of dhaka seems to have got her in mesh in a much wider political deal. it really has and it's about much more than

just coming up with some sort of immigration compromise we're talking about a potentially government the federal government partially shutting down so here's what's happening the president is trying to put the blame on democrats let's keep in mind just a few days ago in front of the cameras he said in front of bipartisan senators he said if you come up with a compromise bring it to me i'll sign it he didn't put any preconditions on it well apparently they came up with a compromise in this group of senators went to the white house presented it to the president and he said yeah i'm not going to sign that that was the meeting that was so controversial he apparently was very angry at the idea that the u.s. would allow in immigrants through a lottery system from africa salvador and haiti he said this is to quote senators in the meeting why would you take in people from and again caution there's an expletive here should hold countries instead he said he wanted he preferred to take in people from countries like norway which is

a predominately white country so what is this really going to happen what's going to happen here well the immigration is somewhat on hold a federal judge has said no you cannot kick these dreamers or dock recipients as they're called out of the country so that's going to work its way through the court system the bigger picture is the budget so how are immigration the budget tied together you might be asking well democrats have leverage now the republicans control the white house the house the senate but they need to pass a budget on friday funded runs out if they can't either pass a continuing resolution to basically fund the government for a few more weeks a few more months of what they've been doing for years or pass a budget well then there's a partial shutdown of the government and in that case the party in power usually takes a lot of blame the american people do not like to see the federal government not functioning so democrats see their point of leverage they say you need our votes on the the budget well then you're going to have to come up with an immigration compromise so we've got five days in washington that will likely point to a very high stakes standoff at the end of it will either have an immigration deal

with democrats or cave or the government will partially shut down all right patty mean the president has been pretty much back to justification if you like his day. rather than its use of language and leader in the week. well and that's the thing the big debate for days now has been is the president of the united states a racist and what actually happened in that meeting so what we know is there was a democratic senator senator dick durbin from illinois who is i should point out known to be a fairly honest politician he came out and said yes the president used that expletive used horrible vile racist language in that meeting then we saw two or three other republicans somewhere in the meeting come out and inexplicably basically say yes it's right but not totally confirming it just saying they spoke their piece the president when he said that another saying people the meeting told me he said exactly that so it's democrats and republicans but then we have two republican senators have come out and said absolutely not he didn't say that the

democratic senator senator durbin is lying so that is where the country's discourse is right now republicans democrats united states senators debating about whether the president of the united states said vile racist things and here's what the president had to say about that just a little while ago. mary leave. it right there. so he's saying basically nobody he's he is not a racist they've never interviewed anyone who is less racist than him now this might be hard for some people to imagine considering the comments that he's made in public you can question perhaps the question what he said in private but what he said in public if you just one take a step back the day he announced his campaign he said mexicans coming to this country are rapists he's called for a ban on all muslims coming into the united states he came to his political fortune

began because he said the first african-american president i had states was not an actual american so he has a history of past racist statements but at the same time you've seen republicans many of them going out of their way to try and protect the president from these comments that he is believed by many to have made so what kind of excuses are they using mother saying well this was a private conversation nobody should have talked about what what was said they're also saying well everybody says rough things and salty language is the word they're using in private some are saying well everybody feels this way so you can see where the republican party desperately trying to paint a picture that the president isn't racist just everybody else as well all right patty thank you very much indeed now we're going to stay in washington but now we're going to talk to bruce fein who's a former u.s. associate deputy attorney general he also has dealt with immigration issues during his time in government bruce thank you very much for talking to us i'm just wondering the fate of what about eight hundred thousand young people in the united

states hangs in the balance doesn't it i mean did they really expect that they might have to pack their bags and be deported. well they should and if they wanted takes perience with the so called temporary protected status elimination forty thousand haitians a two hundred thousand salvadorans and and thousands of nicaraguans they can see what the effect would be on the deportation order and ending of their legal status at present the president if there is some movement on the go she could extend that march date it's not in statute law so it's isn't necessarily true that it's a do or die in march i also think that it's possible if the congress that's elected in november flips to the democrats they could provide some retroactive relief to the dock a members there's no way you could take eight hundred thousand and deport all of them know in three or four months many of them may be difficult to detect and

simply the ability that they have to seek refugee status even if they're no longer here legally as dhaka would tie up the immigration courts for a long time so it's not necessarily the nuclear option or not have to be forthcoming by by march are you regard to the outstanding litigation go ahead you know know each other to us you much more about the politics actually produced because the president has this has put the dhaka. issue in with a host of other issues and then basically said to congress if you want your doc to be approved you need to approve the rest of these measures as well including some funding for the for the building of the wall the wall of course that became so famous when he was on the campaign trail. yes and that's not the only he wants to eliminate the diversity visa program he wants to eliminate most of the family.

provisions in the immigration law he wants to congress to impose federal saying sions against those who are reportedly offering themselves as saying she worries cities or states so it's a whole level of additional elements he wants to bring in as part of the compromise and i think his calculation is if the democrats resist and they filibuster the budget so the government shuts down in whole or in part that the american people will be very upset they're not getting social security checks only for eight hundred thousand dhaka children i think that's his calculation and he thinks the democrats will have a hard time blaming republicans for the shutdown if it's clear that the reason why there's no budget is the democrats are filibustering the vote in the senate now we know historically the party that is responsible for the shutdown of appropriations is the one that gets the blame for example when president clinton was in office and

newt gingrich the house speaker the republicans shut down the government one nine hundred ninety five it boomeranged in the republicans took a big hit and the democrats have to be worried about that precedent if they use their filibuster option and prevent the budget from passing and shuts down the government in trying to exert leverage to get the dhaka program in on its own merits without yielding on the wall in the diversity preference in the family reunification preference and sanctuary cities all right bruce fein thank you very much thank you. the hundreds of people have protested in the tunis in capital to mock seven years since the revolution that spots the arab spring but as hassam a whole bar ripples many of the issues that brought people to the streets back then still causing problems today. a day of national unity until his yeah people from all walks of life conversion here on

happy bookkeeper square to commemorate the two thousand and eleven pro-democracy movement that brought the end of president. government and spread across the arab world the event comes at a time of uncertainty there have been protests nationwide in response to austerity measures recently implemented by the government many here say those measures we not improve the lives of the poor and could make things worse you see i'm doing. the party celebrating here today don't represent us the youth for them the revolution was just a pretext to get power but it's still the old elite that governor's. to me things got better after the revolution it's true we've got poverty and unemployment but that's something we'll fix one day but i want to say the post-revolutionary is better. these young performers have a message to send they want the government to listen to their concerns about

unemployment poverty and lack of opportunities in their country. in a visit to a poor neighborhood in the capital president. he has promised to tackle deepening economic problems phillips arena. the revolution was about freedom and dignity but it's a revolution was led by the youth and we need to listen to them they say we have done nothing for them there are six hundred twenty thousand unemployed people in tunisia this year will be devoted to solving their problems. and the. police at the center of the capital to prevent any scuffles that's to turn violent at this critical moment today on this anniversary of president visited nation to say they want to serve their differences aside and remember those who lost their lives to and autocratic rule but the millions of people who had hoped the revolution will bring about prosperity feel frustrated over their government and worry about their

future. turnus iran's decision to block telegram over the weekend has highlighted the social media apps important for millions of people activists had used it to share anti-government protests video is prompting the government action but telegram is also crucial for multiple businesses and dizzying as ravi reports from tehran iranians are increasingly weaving it into their daily lives. of all the social media people use in iran telegram is the most popular so no doubt it will come as a relief to iranians that the government has eased restrictions on the out put in place during anti-government demonstrations last month data a day after unblocking telegram iran's president said resisting progress is few tiley and that blocking internet apps won't solve the country's problems yet whose e-book hasi been raud there was a time we said no one should listen to the radio there was signal interference with

every station and one or two successful there was a time we said using satellite t.v. is forbidden did that work do people not watch satellite t.v. now we say cyberspace is that if we say it's bad does that fix the problem yet it was you. know telegram is like whatsapp instagram facebook and e bay all rolled into one in the last few years more and more iranians have been using smartphones and nearly half the country forty million unique users are on telegram people in iran have never been more connected to one another as well as the outside world than they are now rules are rules are day by day is an online new start up that develops contact for social media. telegram lets their journalist talk to people directly about poverty minority groups and human rights the kinds of issues traditional state media outlets often ignore my own year people want a way to access news properly to feel the news is coming to them without any

filtering and telegram is doing that telegram has also become a digital marketplace for businesses of all sizes and some like the people in this room say they've made millions of dollars to live on his return to replace the old together and i think more than fifty per cent of all internet traffic in iran is due to tell it where. is the c.e.o. of adventure an online ad agency and techie think tank at a time of high unemployment he says telegram is a job creator it's days old channels i think have created jobs for two hundred thousand people directly for retail and one hundred thousand for advertising and these are the three hundred thousand people who are make they were leaving directly from telegram indirectly he says telegram is responsible for as many as two million jobs and that it was a mistake to shut it down in the first place last week the deputy prosecutor

general said telegram traffic was down by ninety percent since the unrest began but experts say the impact on users has been much smaller and in fact blocking it may have backfired. most people now use online tools like peons bypass government restrictions and have access to more of the world wide web than they ever did before. zain. because a lot more to come on this al-jazeera news hour including twelve million tins of baby milk in eighty three countries the true scale of the salmonella scandal is beginning to emerge and in sport find out why this tennis legend and defending champion doesn't feel he should be the favorite to win the australian open. from a fresh breeze. to watching the sunset on the australian outback.

towards southern parts of vietnam but this area across parts of the lake pinches should gradually clear way across into south asia remains pretty smoky in parts of india in particular northern areas chennai to lisa's not too cold here temperatures of thirty. the weather sponsored by qatar and reese. peace here in munich it's going to keep going to kind of i still in afghanistan for some taliban fighters a new call to arms for taliban leaders a threat to their authority and to see the also chose to stave off such a thing called the islam the only lovely but. unprecedented access i still and the taliban at this time on al-jazeera. when the news breaks members of the knesset israel's parliament setting a higher threshold for any future attempt to give up any parts of truce and the

story builds. up they did just what president say in the whole country that is not other way and when people need to be heard china has a serious shortage of women and a lot of lonely men al-jazeera has teams on the ground to bring the award winning documentaries and live news on air and online. time for a second look at the top stories here at the al-jazeera news hour the turkish president has vowed to launch a military operation on a major kurdish stronghold in the northern syria he pledged to attack afrin in the

coming days it's controlled by the wife a kurdish group that's considered by turkey to be terrorists saying shame on you the palestinian president mahmoud abbas labeled donald trump's peace efforts the slap of the century at a meeting of the p.l.o. central. asked reiterated that he won't accept the trumpet ministration as a mediator in talks with israel. and president trump says the democrats are holding up negotiations on the dark a program that's protected hundreds of thousands of young undocumented immigrants from deportation president trump says it will expire in march unless he gets funding for a border wall terms the democrats are refusing to accept. the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has started a six day visit to india a war memorial has been renamed after the israeli city of haifa where indian soldiers fought for the british during the first world war india is israel's

largest arms market however earlier this month the new render a movie government canceled a half a billion dollar order to buy israeli missiles and last month it voted for a un resolution which called for the u.s. to drop its recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital we can talk to mark fitzpatrick now executive director of the international institute for strategic studies he's in washington d.c. mark fitzpatrick thank you for joining us is there's a great love in between these two leaders last july we saw on the range or maybe make the first visit of a sitting indian leader to israel what's the status of this relationship. yes this is a relationship that's very good then developing and strengthening over the last several years especially ever since modi came to power in two thousand and fourteen you noted the strong defense relationship there not our eyes but they have

a lot in common they have trade they have similar concerns about terrorism and they're getting stay closer and closer together indeed we're just looking at pictures of very very enthusiastic embraces between the two men i mean all they are they just being pragmatic of a papering over their differences because of course india has had a traditional. support for the palestinians which is usually got in the way of its relationship with israel. yes i think the support for the palestinians is probably becoming less just as it is so in many. arab states india is a very pragmatic country and modi is a particularly pragmatic prime minister his motto is don't comes motto in the first and he supports relationships that help india's economy healthy

india's foreign policy and is rio is good on both of those fronts and what about then the cancellation of this half a billion dollar order to buy israeli missiles is that just is that just a hiccup if you like him what is otherwise a very productive relationship right now the timing was unfortunate that it was cancelled shortly important is it i'm sure had nothing to do with the visit and i suspect that we may see it resurrected in some way it was canceled because india decided to buy locally in line with modise made in india policy but i think if the israeli defense experts examined closely the quality of the goods that israel will be supplying i think they may find that that's probably a better source of equipment and what about when i i'm guessing that it's perhaps the pragmatism then that these two leaders are showing towards one another that is

a verb writing india's close relationship with iran. this is an interesting aspect and it's why israel and in the are not going to be strategic partners there are too many. bumps in the road or too many ways in which they don't see eye to eye but it's interesting that a few years ago in the boat with the united states on a sanctions resolution in the united nations against iran that was because the united states india relationship was improving in the united states asked india for a favor so that relationship with the united states has gotten stronger and stronger and it's a reason why the india israeli relationship is also getting stronger india traditionally has been now. neutral but it is becoming more and more a part of what you might call the western camp and this is

a stronger relationship than india's ties with countries such as iran mark fitzpatrick thank you very much indeed you will have it thoughts that south korean envoys are on their way to the border with the north to continue those red told that started last week they will be facing each other again impasse that's a small village in the demilitarized zone separating the cold war phases last tuesday sit down with the first time the two sides held direct talks in two years in a sign that tensions could be easing seoul agreed to welcome athletes from the north to the pill chang winter olympics. well commuters in the south korean capital will be enjoying free public transport during peak hours on monday the fee waiver is all part of emergency measures to tackle an air pollution crisis the concentration of

fine particles in the air in seoul reached dangerous levels on sunday let's go live now to our correspondent kathy novak in the heart of it in the middle of downtown so kathy how bad is this pollution. world the emergency measures were announced yesterday as it turned out today monday the pollution was not quite as bad as expected because of some rain that happened so some are breathing a sigh of relief but nevertheless winter is a time when air pollution is very bad here in south korea and this is a move for the first time by the soul city government to try to take more cars off the road by giving people free rides on public transportation also closing down some parking lots and telling some civil servants to leave their cars at home marty when we think of those dreadful peace super's is what we used to call them in britain the gentle scenes of pollution you normally think of beijing and you think

of delhi don't normally think of so so have things got worse recently or is this always been the case. well it's interesting you should bring up beijing martin because in terms of public reaction to this move many people are welcoming the free ride but they're also saying that it may not have that much of an effect because if you ask most south koreans they blame the situation here on pollution blowing over from the west from china and now the chinese government has taken some measures meaning that the pollution levels this winter have been not as bad as previous years and in fact a study by a korean institute along with the u.s. space agency nasa that was released last year found really only a third of the pollution that happened between. may and june was actually coming from china so in another way this is a subtle city at least trying to take more responsibility for the pollution that is created domestically taking some of the cars off the road because the vehicles here

in seoul are the major contributor to pollution created here in south korea cafe know that live in salt thank you. now six chilean catholic churches have been vandalized in three days on the eve of pope francis is arrival in the country the most recent attack was in the capital santiago and resulted in graffiti saying down with the pope well he'll be in chile as part of a six day till that also includes peru these are two countries where they've been several sex scandals involving the catholic church a latin america editor lucien newman has more. it used to be standing room only inside this cathedral in southern chile. but these days not many are singing the praises of their bishops one batter us appointed three years ago by pope francis. outside the cathedral other members of the flock demand the resignation of the bishop who is accused of covering up sex abuses by chile's most notorious pedophile

priest the pope may be smiling down at these people but they are not smiling back this used to be one of the most faithful catholic cities in all of chile but now these faithful say that they are sad and angry at their pope. accuses him of betraying his promises to the vatican still covers up abusers and to boot in chile it rewards them with promotions and positions abroad the severity we expected from the pope isn't there it's an acceptable that a bishop like barrows who covered up sex abuses he put in charge of our diocese while the protest continued we caught bishop leaving three. in the parking lot he has long denied any wrongdoing but they did the questions about the calls for his resignation they moved to him. there are many other people doing charge work many blessings to you and the. one who calls himself
