un backed peace talks in vienna. for the past six days takis been attacking y p g kurdish forces in the northern syrian region of frame they want to push the fight who they say a terrorist out from the area and create a buffer zone along the border the u.n. special envoy for syria says the ninth round of talks comes at a very critical time in the conflict. joins us now live from vienna so what's been happening so far well the u.n. envoy to fundamental has been closed in a meeting with the syrian government delegation they've been in there for about two and a half hours now. talks that are needed direct even proximity talks at the moment while the government defend them is meeting in this building well across the street the opposition. should be coming here later in the afternoon once the

first meeting is over but as you said earlier yesterday the funding mr when he landed here said that these were critical talks we heard just same thing from the head of the opposition delegation who did say that these were not only critical but this talks that these this latest round would actually show who is serious and who is not serious about trying to start these negotiations which basically have been at the deadlock for now three years what's going to be discussed in these talks with the two different sides. well if you listen to the opposition they say they want to tackle. the rewriting of the constitution and setting a timetable for presidential elections but the indications coming out of the syrian government are completely different they have indicated they actually have nothing on the agenda for this round of talks they're here to they say to express their

discontent. they're not happy about the report he gave to the u.n. security council after the last round of talks in geneva in mid december they say that they felt that that report was biased against the syrian government so they basically here to hear they basically here to listen. to or has to say for himself if you recall after the last round of talks was lasted about two weeks the fundamental expressed his frustration and sort of squarely blamed the failure of those talks on the syrian government saying that they did not want to tackle any of the core issues here at stake saying that the syrian government was only concentrating for two weeks on the issue of terrorism and he then at the time had said the whole world is facing terrors terrorism is an issue in syria as well but that's not what the delegation should be talking about as

a priority ok many thanks for that update from vienna her until her maid for more now on who controls won't. go pitter. the battery map of the syrian civil war has changed dramatically over the past year seemingly shifting the balance of power this is what syria looked like a year ago fractured between various sides syrian government areas are marked in red their opposition areas in green the kurds in yellow at the top and i saw in brown there fast forward to now and the syrian government has managed to expand its control over much of the country and i saw has been pushed out into these tiny pockets the rebels have been further squeezed into the west in a blip and some other parts like these pockets around camp of damascus in eastern gota and the palestinian refugee camp yarmouk which is split between various sides but what's of real concern is eastern guta with the syrian government along with

this russian our eyes have intensified the airstrikes since november the regime has also titan is nearly five year long siege with devastating consequences for some four hundred thousand people living there now the kurds they're in control of these big chunks of territory in the north kurdish group the y p g is facing turkish air and ground offensive in northwest in offering ankara considers kurdish groups in syria terrorists turkey is also training its eyes now on mine big in the east to push kurdish dominated syrian democratic forces east of the a free distributor in an attempt to further secure its borders and that might make the complex war of syria even more complicated because the s.d.f. is backed by turkey's nato ally the u.s. in its fight against eisel. in kabul as director of policy analysis at the doha institute he says not much is expected to come out of these talks as all attention is focused on the upcoming meeting on syria organized by russia in sochi. the

russians want to bring most of the syrian parties actually to this which conference the believe that they can actually having some sort of consensus among syrians on two things. number one is a new constitution which will be of the way for presidential and parliamentary elections in syria and that hopefully will be leading actually to ending the conflict and establishing the way forward for political solution and the people who are going to be invited are many more than those actually attending in geneva because in geneva we are having mainly the syrian regime on the one hand and we are having the high and high commissioner for negotiation on the other hand but the high commission of negotiation it includes in fact people from from what is called the we are the group that. we have so many groups anyway what they are being presented in this to begin talks anyway but why we are not expecting much to come

out of this talks actually because we don't have the major powers actually putting bush i was on their clients in order to give something special you are talking here about the russians and the iranians i don't think that russians and the iranians want to see progress in in vienna or in geneva they want to see it in fact in a stand in. quips and international advisory panel tax crisis calling it a whitewash bill richardson was a former close friend. he resigned from the group as it was making its first trip to russia state where violence has forced more than seven hundred thousand people to flee to bangladesh he says his decision to quit followed a lengthy argument. a meeting on monday i was very. distressed right down reaction to my point this issue of journalists being treated fairly and rapidly. and that

brought almost an explosion on her part. saying there were issues relating to the official secrecies act that this was not my charter as a member of the advisory board and the very heated exchange that we had i don't want to be part of a whitewash. and i felt as best that i resign immediately. military is accused of using gang rape as part of an ethnic cleansing campaign against the rand rights groups say the attacks occurred during a recent crackdown in rakhine state in which as many as seven thousand people have been killed stratford reports from cars you palang refugee camp in bangladesh. the sisters fifteen and seventeen years old say myanmar army soldiers tied them to trees and gang raped them the eldest sister sister lost consciousness was the

second man began to prove a lie so. the army surrounded our house she says my sister and i were in the bathroom the soldiers burstein and drank this outside seven men raped me she says passers by found them unconscious and still tied to the just it took us fifteen days to walk to the bangladesh border. rights groups say that the myanmar army used gang rape as part of its ethnic cleansing campaign that killed thousands of people and destroyed their homes in rakhine state they also say that myanmar's case highlights massive floors in the international criminal justice system and there are questions being asked as to whether the interests of powerful countries like china could jeopardize myanmar ever fully been cool to account gathering evidence in myanmar is almost impossible at the moment. the myanmar government has

banned the un's top human rights investigator from entering the country me and my has made a very big mistake in banning myself and also a fact finding mission and other investigative teams to going in because this is exactly what the world needs to to see and hear from is the first hand reports from persons like myself and others rights groups say the un security council should refer to the international criminal court in the hague but the i.c.c. only has jurisdiction over crimes committed by states that have signed its founding treaty the rome statute and myanmar is not a signatory getting myanmar an i.c.c. referral in the un security council would likely fail because of china's power of veto china's interests in myanmar a growing these include oil pipelines across rakhine and the construction of

donald trump has brought his america agenda to the world economic forum in davos compensated to hold a meeting with british prime minister to resign may north korea syria and iran are expected to be on the agenda on friday trump will address to the economic forum even before his planned speech telling the president that cooperation is better than isolation i hope people send a message of course it will be america first but if you could add on but not alone or but america first we need cooperation with the rest of the world or whatever that could be nice because i think everybody needs to realize whether you are a leader from a small or medium size of the contras that you can't achieve what you want. the world faced with a lot of challenges. which can only be solved in the close international cooperation. james bays is in davos and joins us now james will trump be bringing

that message that people there want to hear. well i think that's the big question what is going to be trump's message which trumpet we going to hear here in davos because the gathering so far has been pretty much what you expect here in davos the normal agenda the normal rhythm of meetings between politicians and business leaders very much stressing global values and global trade are we going to get a president trump a sometimes we've seen the case is very scripted who is following the script to fit the occasion we've seen that on some of the international trips that the president has said has made or are we going to see the president trump of the inauguration a year ago talking america first certainly when he's been tweeting he says he's coming here to drum up trade for america we're hearing about this sales person in

chief well that's not something that i think is going to offend anyone here but i still think there'll be some that find it a little uncomfortable because davus is not supposed to be a massive world trade fair game here is he meeting what's on his agenda. well he arrived here a couple of hours ago arrived from the states on air force one to zurich and flew here on marine one and the first person is going to is going to meet is actually speaking as i speak inside the hall behind me and that's the u.k. prime minister to resign may work she's finished the speech in the hall here she'll be having a meeting with president trump and then it's on to a meeting shortly after that with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu that will be obviously worth watching given the current poor state of the so-called peace process because it's really not moving anywhere at the moment president trump said he could get a peace deal in the middle east but of course his administration's actions are

making that look harder than at any recent time particularly with the u.s. recognition of jerusalem as the israeli capital and the recent decision to cut the funding that they normally give to the u.n. agency that deals with palestinian refugees under ok james and for the moment thanks very much. egypt's last main opposition candidate for the presidential election in march has withdrawn from the race made the announcement just as present or fattah el-sisi filed his nomination papers on tuesday former army chief of staff sami al-arian was arrested days after announcing his candidacy. all this indicators were pointing towards plain intentions to poison and corrupt the entire operation and to evacuated from its presumed democratic meaning and to push us into spaces which we are not able to handle we are honored to not participate and the

twenty fifth of january marks the seventh anniversary of the egyptian revolution that brought down president hosni mubarak first met spoke to some of the people who were there seven years ago. i chance of down with mubarak wanted been enough to earn a beating from egypt's security services but on january twenty fifth twenty eleven the police made only half hearted attempts to stop hundreds of thousands of egyptians packing tahrir square in cairo to demand the resignation of president hosni mubarak i will rahman farris and i have joined those protests seven years ago for what. we used to say that the revolution is coming it was our drink to change the regime through revolution we've been protesting for years but it was only ever a few dozen one hundred people so the right team considered us a bunch of children. for three weeks mubarak clung to power

he fired cabinet ministers and promised reforms but he refused to meet the main demands of the now millions of protesters nationwide were not moving they have to move. democracy needs a change of these police. and most international says more than eight hundred forty people were killed during the revolution. as once friendly governments from the u.s. and europe abandon the barrack the eighty two year old autocrat was isolated. one finally on february eleventh twenty eleven mubarak resigned and handed over power to the military i'm up i am. you know what then after the office would have feeling i lost my voice i kept saying the people have overthrown the regime that it was a dream that came true i felt we had something like a mini democracy and i felt competition between parties then sisi came egypt's post revolution euphoria didn't last long its first democratically elected leader lasted

just twelve months. the muslim brotherhoods mohammed morsi was overthrown in a military coup led by abdel fattah el-sisi. cc's now president and standing for reelection for a second term in march just like mubarak he's crackdown on dissent and silenced rivals and on the anniversary of that revolution tahrir square has been sealed off just in case bernard smith al-jazeera. even try hat is an associate professor at the institute and joins us now here in the studio good to have you with us so with how is alley pulling out c.c. is now the only person running in this election if that's the case he needs five percent to win the city exactly well it's not on the kind of valley but the four hundred alley we had. he was kept in a hotel for almost three weeks until he withdrew his candidacy and the clear that he's not running and also we saw. who was

a serious contender for president sisi also be interested we still don't know where where he is now how that is so this. this withdrawal of value from the elections it's expected actually there's nothing surprising about it giving the. environment of the elections the regime has it created has become an environment of intimidation and actually complained of harassment to his campaign. as in the past few days so that's actually we're left with only one option with running against himself probably. the new in his presidency which reminds me actually of the day. before the revolution that we went back to square one seven years ago you were just telling me that you were sitting in the exact chair

seven years ago when we heard hosni mubarak announcing that he was stepping down how does it feel to back now seven years on talking about another strong man who is holding on to power thank you that's exactly seven years ago i was sitting on this chair with your colleague and we are discussing going almost to the man came on t.v. and i was that president mubarak stepping down i could see the joy in that that he the square the whole talks about the transform ation and the. and how things are going to the new future for the for egypt everyone was very hopeful. of the what's coming but seven years later now it's really painful to see that the situation actual when much worse. in two thousand and eleven. actually the now we have more journalists in prisons in egyptian prisons more than during the

mubarak. and now it's actually the president sees here against himself so unfortunately the outcome was not as people expected and it's now going back to the old there's an even worse i mean sisi has come to turn twenty says that he will revive the economy and help bring security to egypt he says he just needs more time that people must be patient with him tara the measures are necessary that the crackdown is necessary. gyptian willing still to give him that time well there is no problem with the logic of suggesting that i need more time but we you have to have some in the kid that is that you are making progress again if you compare the city security situation in the sinai peninsula to de compared to the barak there is no comparison that the the security situation has deteriorated much much worse than theirs of mubarak and they cannot make situations all or almost all the projects that have been announced like the swiss expansion project

they failed miserably on the economic level. comic level and also you could see the egyptian pound the value against the dollar like win from three four. pounds for a dollar now is about eighteen or twenty so there are no indicators to suggest that we are moving in that i directions if you look at the economic and security situation so with the egyptians back your questions are willing to give him a chance or not. i'm afraid that the situation is not about their willing or not the situation is about anyone who opposed the c.z. it will fear. you know the fear of. a trophy and that's i think what we have a situation about ok well let's see if we can get you back in that chair and seven years from now and then reassess the situation telling my mother country and thank you. now the planned deportation of a palestinian businessman from the u.s. state of ohio is causing controversy. rested after being released by the

agency responsible for deportations his family. only targeting him to make an example of him. in early january immigration and customs enforcement or ice state. deportation he and his wife need not use the one way tickets they bought to jordan after president trump scrapped protections for immigrants who had pending cases with ice such was the local jubilation the mayor of youngstown named january sixth in his honor we had already thought their home we gave away all our belongings that that point and we were ready to go. on the morning it was confusing it was at the same time exciting. happening they're going to stay. in the us almost forty years ago he's credited with spurring the redevelopment of downtown youngstown after you

opened his convenience store and when the area was desolate but two weeks after he received his stay was arrested and told he would be jailed ice would deport him themselves so why was he prevented from leaving voluntarily ice declined to be interviewed. why why is it are you trying to make an example out of this is cruel this is not about policy and this is not about objectives this is about cruelty and this is about the dehumanization. and the frankly the humiliation the public humiliation of a pillar of the community since donald trump instructed immigration authorities to go after anyone they felt was a target for deportation anywhere in the u.s. ice arrests have searched by some forty percent with the fastest growing targets those without a criminal record. long term residents with deep roots of being rounded up immigration activists say ice is going after what they call low hanging fruit like

often those following the rules regularly checking in with ice either because it's more cost effective or just to make a point at the local republican party office there's also consternation from tracey winbush she's vice chair of the policy a trump supporter and a close friend of often but she points out that autumn was originally ordered to leave the u.s. under president obama and that obama deported far more people in his first year than his successor i think never been nice but when noticing it now because of trump correct because of paying attention to it because prior to this no one paid attention. at a vigil for often a surprise his daughter holds up a phone he's on the line from detention. it's clear now that ice has discarded any pretense of simply going after what trump called. ice is now quite clear that it's those not living in the shadows who are

its targets she had her town see al-jazeera youngstown ohio. he has bring you a check of the weather now and his efforts in having in on israel where there's been some flooding yeah that's right lower had some pretty bad weather across the eastern side of the matter is running for the best part of a week now the same weather system that brought us the icy conditions around the syria lebanon border just a couple of days ago we have now got rain that's pushed its way down into israel and we have seen some very nasty conditions you can see this area cloud has been swirling away here finally showers heavy showers just making their way into that eastern side of the med right along the banks of a long line of cloud in that since the one that has brought that flooding into tel aviv actually you can see the current conditions that we do have across the city so some very high horses at present and there's more rain as we go on through the next couple of days actually this system is going to make its way through a good paso friday that is friday is pitching you can see the wet weather all the way there from southern parts of turkey syria lebanon jordan right down the coast

scientists in china have achieved a world first by cloning two monkeys i came into this well using the same process

he is to claim dolly the sheep one twenty years ago the first primates to be created using the technique when the prospect of clay in human beings. and a hoax was more just me joan was wrong and while these twin long tailed crab eighty macaques have been hailed as a scientific breakthrough this libertarian china has succeeded where other researches have failed scientists at the institute of nereus science in shanghai created the first cloned monkeys he's new technique called sematic cell nuclear transfer the claiming process began with a monkey egg and a monkey fetus sell it genetically modified process and that abort tree then develops into an embryo which was then implanted in a monkey eventually the babies were born what's novel about this process is the nuclei were transferred from fetal cells rather than adult ones that's different from the world's first cloned animal dolly the sheep which was created from only

adult cells china is the first to successfully clone primates using this method however scientists a criticized for pushing ethical boundaries the chinese process took one hundred twenty seven eggs to produce two monkeys animal rights activists oppose medical research on monkeys and i should point out that people argue that it's not ethical to use monkey parkinson disease model. in monkeys which has been use of cloud effect of the initial news a large number of monkeys. new launches states alone horton's thirty forty thousand monkeys year by dr tarpley. other research is a celebration how cloning primates could help preserve species on the brink of extinction the other use is you know many primates are on the border of extinction rewards gippi and sees many other primates pressure clearly may give you

a way to maintain the species given the progress in cloning primates will people be next we will never try. i don't think there's anybody willing to do human cloning and the society will not permit it but like any new technology once it's appeal there's always a possibility of misuse for now china is celebrating the breakthrough the new borns a just six and eight weeks old it's hope that they will lead long and healthy lives . there. buy a ticket to fly anywhere in africa is notoriously expensive and difficult rules and regulations mean passengers often have to take the long way home the idea of a single as space was first proposed thirty years ago now it could really take off at a meeting of the african union in ethiopia turning a page reports. ethiopian airlines is spreading its wings across africa buying
