the bedroom and the master plan are the concluding part of rebel architecture 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 state in our country there is not other way and when people need to be heard china has a serious shortage of women and a lot of. al-jazeera has teams on the ground to bring the model and build winning documentaries and live news on air and online. seven years of war in syria the u.n. tries again to bring both sides to the table.

hello i'm adrian from again this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up new evidence of abuse by mere military as a former u.s. diplomat quits the visor a panel on the edge of crisis on the run a spike in violence forces thousands of people to flee the democratic republic of congo plus. i'm challenging and london looking at the way of one of the greatest living photographers of our time a master of manipulation. the new military front opened by turkey in the syrian war could further complicate the un backed peace talks in vienna for the past six days turkey's been attacking y. p.g. kurdish forces in the golden syrian region of afrin they want to push the fighters who they say are terrorists from the area and create a buffer zone along turkey's border the un special envoy for syria says the ninth

round of talks come at a very critical time in the conflict let's go live out of the al-jazeera is what a need is there so hala who is in vienna so far. well certainly. both delegations are here in vienna and the government delegation actually arrived at the u.n. building behind me just a short while ago in a chewed starting talks with the u.n. envoys to funded mistura then later in the day you will have the opposition delegation coming here and holding its first round of talks for this for what is called the geneva nine meeting now what is on the table i think you don't really get a direct answer about that what we did hear from the opposition some words along the same along to fund them is to have said that this these were critical talks and quite decisive talks but when you do press them on why it's so critical that answer

is quite vague at the moment the opposition says it's here because it still regards do you as the only mediator or the only way to achieve some sort of peace negotiations the opposition says it does still favored the u.n. as the main way to go to reach some sort of solution and not all these other parallel negotiations that are going on the opposition also was very clearly saying yesterday that it still has not decided whether it will attend the talks are. set to happen early next week called upon by russia with turkey and iran as guarantors the opposition says it's going to first figure out what's going to happen here how serious the syrian government is on achieving some sort of dialogue

the two main points they would like to discuss at this stage is the writing of a new constitution and presidential elections but if you remember during geneva which lasted about two weeks in early december well certainly nothing. happen there now at the end of those talks to find the mystery i had expressed frustration and he had actually pointed the finger at the government delegation saying that it had only wanted to talk about terrorism the opposition says it's now here it is somehow unified it used the words somehow saying that yes they will speak in one voice under this new group s.n.c. but within that group they do knowledge dead there are some disagreements not everybody thinks of use the past. the same way still they want to quell all these accusations of being fragmented so they are here at the moment and they say they will be talking in one voice ha to many thanks billionaires and world leaders

are gearing up for a third day at the world economic forum in switzerland the most anticipated event will be the appearance of donald trump who's just landed in zurich he's now on his way to davos the first sitting u.s. president to attend the summit since the year two thousand but with his america first agenda many are skeptical about what he can bring to the table of a global focused forum which can live out of davus diplomatic editor james bays is trump is due to arrive within the hour there in davos bringing his america first message but is he going to be welcome james. well travis actually arrived actually aging about half an hour ago touched down here in marine one this year very much like every other year the global business leaders political leaders talk of global values global trade that's the normal dabbles the normal davus ended

about half an hour ago trump is here trouble now dominate this for the next couple of days and everyone is wanting to hear what the president has to say here is he going to fifteen with the tone of everyone else or is this going to be the american america first domestic message here on the ground certainly the white house say america first but not alone and they say america is open for business so this is going to be the salesman in chief in action trying to encourage trade and investment in the u.s. i think even that message may be slightly frowned upon by the others here because this isn't a massive trade fair that's not what davos is supposed to be about so what's on trump's agenda there who see due to be meeting. well we have meetings coming up in a couple of hours' time he's now just taken his hotel room and will rest for

a few hours then meeting one of the u.s.'s closest allies which is the british prime minister trees i'm a meeting with her will be followed about an hour later by meeting with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu that clearly is key because remember president trump has talked for the whole year that he's been in office about his ability to bring a deal of peace deal to the middle east but of course that is going very badly indeed ever since the u.s. recognized jerusalem as israel's capital and more recently in the last week after it cut the funding it normally gives or some of the funding it normally gives to the u.n. agency that deals with the palestinians under a so he'll be talking here to the israelis yet again when of course he hasn't spoken the palestinian side now for weeks and weeks. by james many thanks d.j. space their lives in doubles a former u.s. diplomat has quit an international advisory panel tackling the hinge a crisis calling it a whitewash bill richardson was

webb al-jazeera the arab and a transit camp uganda. the former president of brazil limit the silver insists that he will run for reelection in october despite losing his appeal against corruption and money laundering his lawyers are planning another appeal this time in the supreme court after his nine year prison sentence was extended to twelve a sizeable reports from porto alegre his lawyers denounced the ruling as a politically driven farce. these people are standing by. they're convinced he will be presumed next president despite a court's ruling that makes it almost impossible for him to run. the risk distance will never die we lost the battle but not the war president twenty eight hundred nine.

hundred. ninety eight. on wednesday an appeals court upheld his conviction for corruption and money laundering even increased the sentence to twelve years and one month one of the judges said there is no doubt that the former president was involved in a corruption scheme. i looked at these questions one by one reaffirming specifically that the issue of culpability is the largest vector for the sentence and i considered culpability to be extremely high in this case. it happened in the city of port city where extreme security measures were taken to prevent clashes between supporters and those who backed the court's decision. in sao paolo brazil's economic capital many celebrated who. thinks he shouldn't

be investigated because he's god all his companions are behind bars and are incriminating him we want justice should be arrested he must be convicted. he's now seventy two he was prisons first working class president and is credited with lifting millions out of poverty. the court's judgment complicate his chances of making it to this year's presidential race but remains defiant. for me the school ruling is an opportunity to travel through brazil and have a dialogue with the brazilian people now i can see that everything that they're doing is to close the door to my candidacy as provocation is so shameful but now i want to be counted for the presidency of the republic brazilian law bans candidates who have been convicted from running for office there are two legal moves and make
