launch a fierce offensive on the rebel held province of idlib as russia talks to try to end the conflict. ranger girls fall prey to human traffickers but some of the refugees of seoul for the first sixty dollars we have an exclusive report from the camp in bangladesh. on the verge of running dry drought in the south african city of cape town which is a critical stage also. i you know fever outbreak the one in brazil hearing on their life i'm out walking mighty board our investigator for help or already fourteen people have died in the last month. in sport russians will be allowed to compete in next month's winter paralympics russian athletes who can prove a drug free will take part in south korea under a neutral flag. syrian

warplanes have launched a fierce offensive on the rebel held province of idlib killing at least twenty people women and children are among the dead wanted to say the jets targeted a market and then a hospital full of people wounded in the earlier strike meanwhile a russian brokered cease fire on the edge of the capital damascus seems to have collapsed activists are reporting several troops violations by government forces the c.g. eastern guta at least eight people have died russia has also launched a diplomatic push to end the war hosting a new round of talks in sochi the un is there but the main syrian opposition group has boycotted the meetings saying only recognizes the u.n. sponsored geneva talks the kurds who control almost twenty percent of syrian territory also not attending the focus of a turkish military operation in northern syria ankara says their fight is the terrorists stephanie decker reports from a town killis on the turkish syrian border. there's just been incoming from syria

into turkey we were actually preparing for a live when we heard a whiz over our heads. and then we saw the smoke landing around five hundred meters from our position well the police have now come to inspect the crater this is a reminder of course that this is an active conflict and there are consequences for these border towns these border cities cholas has had rockets and shells land here before also they hardly on the other side of the border but people that residents that we've spoken to here will tell you that they are concerned they're used to it because i still was here just a couple of years ago along the border and there was this kind of tense situation as well but one gentleman we spoke to yesterday said he was worried and he was already wife and children away you could see people are tense and they want us to move on. rory chalons has more now from the talks in sochi. well the news earlier on monday the another group of opposition figures was going to be staying away from

sochi really exposes i think the short comings of this congress russia has tried to make this as inclusive as possible inviting people and groups from across the syrian cultural religious and political spectrum so the robot is here there are these there are sunnis and shias alawite various different political platforms including the moscow platform the rest on a platform but there are a few notable exceptions now those are the s.n.c. the syrian that negotiation committee which has said that it will stay away from sochi believing that this is undermining the geneva process the kurdish groups such as the y. p.g. then not here either they are considered to sign on grants or by turkey and of essentially being shut out i don't think they want to come anyway because of what's going on in africa and so this all basically steers towards the moscow and

damascus perspective on the syrian conflict the upshot of this congress is likely to be the endorsement of the new what they're calling a constitutional committee made up supposedly all of the syrian government on one side and opposition representatives on the other but if the main groups of the opposition are not here then this allows damascus to essentially say that the opposition groups boycotting sochi boycotting this process are saboteurs of peace the big question of course is where the u.n. stands on the of this and whether stefan de mistura will approve of these measures and not allow this to filter in to the geneva process the russians believe that he is on board rafters wait to see whether the u.s. that suggest that is confirmed or not. in bangladesh range of muslims feeling

neighboring man mobbing in christian a targeted by human traffickers at refugee camps in six cases report out there has been speaking to men who have been involved in smuggling goes out of the country to put on refugee camps our correspondent charles stratford reports. oh my darling daughter she cries. she asks me when we talk oh mother what shall i do now how can i come back to you how would you get me out of india to be with you again. my own accounts and says her daughter years mean was thirteen years old when she was snatched by a man in the refugee camp and smuggled to india. was three years ago no iona and the as mean fled the military crackdown in myanmar in two thousand and twelve. says the trafficker was arrested in india and yes men was rescued the daughter is living at a safe house for other trafficking victims in kolkata myanmar stripped the regime gere

of citizenship in one thousand nine hundred to be the noyon no or yes mean have pol school so they cannot be reunited my owner says every month she saves a little money to chance her daughter for a few minutes on the phone that is only cold knows the pain i experience every day she says i don't have money to go to india my daughter warns mabel to try and cross into india without a passport. my own story is built on coleman in the ricky refugee camps rights groups say that trafficking gangs have thrived in the range of refugee camps here in bangladesh for years but the recent arrival of more than six hundred fifty thousand new refugees means the situation is getting even worse now we met a traffic and he told us that men come from outside the camps they pay range of families for their daughters promising them work for the girls often never seen again. we sit by the road and the men come to us the man tells me they also

because if we can get the helpless type of people families are ready to provide goals because they don't have enough food. the man says men often specifically want girls of a certain age he says they pay the families around five thousand talking about sixty dollars for each girl. for the girls around twelve to fourteen years old he says they tell me they have difficulty with their domestic work at home they say they need someone to cook for them the man tells me he has stopped providing the main with goals now and only trafficked a few young women. when the parents come to find me that i have to highlight he explains they want information all that delicious but i have no information. the un's refugee agency is trying to help moyo to be reunited with her daughter but

he says only the bandwidth they all sorts use to make a decision. leona says yes mean never met her father because he died before she was pulled your freedom she herself may die without ever seeing me again there was. nothing more than my daughter she says it would be so kind if you get your daughter back for years meaning is a piece of my heart. zero problem refute you can. only leak upon is the deputy executive director of unicef and joins me in the studio now thanks very much indeed for coming in so her report there you've just come back from cox's on in bangladesh and you were the refugee camp so do you have a sense of the scale of this problem of child trafficking that's why i've just returned and sadly this story we've just heard isn't particularly unique there are hundreds of families going through similar completely heart wrenching situations

thousands of families have crossed the border having already experienced really traumatic violence sexual violence in some cases and and abuse and then they're faced with this additional risk we know it's a widespread issue when you have thousands of desperate people who've already been thrown into chaos and lost everything unfortunately they're always criminals ready to exploit that situation take advantage of their vulnerability and unicef job is to try to prevent that as much as possible and to what kind of things can you do as a minister is one of these as you say as we heard there was people are often money on the understanding the child that the child is going to be working rather than being trafficked for for other reasons. how do you put the message out there to do not not expect you know exchange money for your children well it is partly about that information and empowering families community leaders mothers and daughters to better understand the risks to prevent those risks and to be honest it's also about helping them have other means of sustaining themselves when families are in

a desperate situation they'll turn to desperate measures some children are on their own because their eyes are off until they've been separated from families and others are. in families they're just desperate for any money they can get so we work to spread information to help support those girls but we also make sure that we can work with the bangladeshi government to get cash to families that need it to distribute food and other provisions so that they're not quite so desperate for resources as well and what about the sad aspect of a child's report the person who i mean they can actually be reunited because the child doesn't have a passport so she's in india she's in traffic there she might be in a safe place now but she can still go on about to see her mother are there any measures that can prove that side of the situation one of the biggest problems facing their anger all of their hang refugees is that they they lack identity or documentation they don't have legal identity or citizenship and that puts them extreme risk of this kind of exploitation not having access to police protection to a legal recourse or any kind of services really which is why it's so important that

ultimately those rights are restored to ridding people all of them including the girls that are vulnerable to trafficking and given us a recent experience in those camps i mean it is are things on the ground there improving or is it still getting worse and you know while there are still people arriving every day that this is very much alive and mergence see we're seeing people arrive into the camp a three day it's now almost seven hundred thousand a rival just since august last year and it's becoming very overcrowded so i would say the situation is becoming worse at the moment is the dry season what we're really worried about is in the weeks to come as the rains begin you have seen yourself this is a muddy overcrowded on the hillsides and it's really quite vulnerable to floods landslides and we're concerned about the conditions deteriorating even more in the weeks to come and we confronted thank you very much indeed for coming to talk just a little prodding from unicef thank you. there's more to come on this hour of news not including. very near where some of the u.s.

would have been liberated by now apart from whatever military gear we have the army and resistance are barely surviving by the coalition and we do not know the reasons . has not been liberated till now due to the lack of enthusiasm on the part of the coalition residents are capable to leave the city not time to receive military and financial support and. aid organizations including the red crescent say their staff are stranded oxfam says it has closed its office. but there isn't the only place there are conflicting interests within the. this is a gym with the airport remains closed for a second day prime minister ahmed bin that has visited his office after his troops took back control of government buildings from southern secessionists. the separatists of mounting the reinforcements from beyond were able to secure some areas but sporadic fighting continues. there is no difference between the these and

anyone else who rebels against a legitimate government no matter who they are if he's not with the legitimate government then he's rebelling against it and. suited an enemy to the entire country. but it's not as simple because the fighting sides are supported by members of the same coalition saudi arabia backs government forces in the secessionist are allies of the united arab emirates many in a didn't have traditionally supported the idea of a separate state similar to the structure before yemen's unification in one nine hundred ninety and that is the limit the media we want a civilian government a government of law a government made according to the principles of the southern transition council. the internationally recognized government pulled in saudi arabia and united arab emirates to fight the who these but since two thousand and fifteen the gulf regions poorest country has suffered from the world's largest cholera outbreak and almost half the country lives and famine like conditions. and there seems to be no end to

the fighting and job aid there. gyptian authorities have extended the detention of al jazeera journalists which hussain for the eleventh time he'll be held for an extra forty five days without trial it's not been more than a year since he was arrested and jailed in egypt they're saying is accused of broadcasting false news to spread chaos which he and al-jazeera strongly denied. thousands of union workers from a u.n. agency for palestinian refugees are protesting in gaza against budget cuts it follows the u.s. decision to cut millions of dollars worth of funding to the aid agency imran khan reports from gaza. this was one of the largest demonstrations gaza has seen in recent months the union organizing says thirteen thousand people turned out palestinians are angry that the u.s. is withholding one hundred ten million dollars in funding for the united nations

relief works agency that agency is responsible for palestinian refugees some one million in gaza alone yeah agency itself is in crisis mode it's introduced austerity measures and warns it only has two months of funding left after that. the palestinians or if you want to fix it there would be no food there would be no colborne there would be a normal status is it would be ignored you kiss in four of these kids which are looking to be as kids in other parts of the war on palestinian in gaza city but on that seas which is a very very serious situation it's some of gaza's most desperate the will be hit hardest people like who saw his see who receives unemployment payments from he supports a family of six those payments are due to come to an end if money isn't found about then log on the show and. stop this project then what kind of going

what does mr haiti hope to achieve with this tour it's a pretty rare trip this certainly the u.n. security council has been to washington before but never before i don't think of they've been here to be presented with evidence to try and sway them in one of the things they're considering and that's the behavior of iran with regard to the war in yemen the u.s. says that a missile that was far towards riyadh last year was far with the help of the iranians and was in fact missile of iranian origin and ambassador haley has taken the other ambassadors from the security council to a military base on the edge of washington d.c. and showing them the missile remnants i can tell you some other diplomats are skeptical about this they say that there is not a clear chain of custody of these missile fragments which got to the u.s. from saudi arabia and certainly some of the ambassadors on the security council

want to keep this issue of a rainy and missiles away from the other issue regarding iran which is the iran nuclear deal which is you know president trump is has questioned and is still considering pulling out of james the group understand it having lunch with president trump now and he spoke to reporters ahead of that what did he have to say . yeah he spoke to reporters he mentioned the issue of iran and what was iran was up to in the region he spoke about north korea but i think the most telling comments actually came following the recent attacks in afghanistan and the president making it very clear that this was not the time to talk to the taliban will also discuss what more we can do to defeat the taliban i don't see any talk in taking place i don't think we're prepared to talk right now. oh all different fight over there they're killing people left and right innocent people are being killed

left and right while those comments are president trump ruling out talking to the taliban let me just tell you what his u.n. ambassador nikki haley said on the seventeenth of january about two weeks ago we think the taliban coming to the table is very important so a complete change from the trumpet ministration we had all previously thought their strategy was to put military pressure on the taliban to force them to the negotiating table to try to get a deal with the taliban now he's ruling all of that out james based thank you very much indeed. president trump is preparing to give his first state of the union address one of his big campaign promises was to bring back steel to the u.s. which has seen a sharp decline and job losses over recent years she has returned to his travel to rural pennsylvania where support for trump was strong in the twenty sixteen election to see if the president has kept his promise and how voters feel he's

doing. pennsylvania hadn't chosen a republican president since one thousand nine hundred eighty eight but thanks in part to support from rural communities where the steel industry still. don't trump flipped the state in twenty six days the collapse of the industry was devastating but u.s. steel's clanton coke plant remains the largest coke plant in the u.s. and at the local union hall john mclaughlin explains that it was to safeguard the plants future that he voted for trump under every president we've taken a hit republican democrat and the trade agreements both parties have to agree to it i wanted something different donald trump was clear when he was campaigning is going to bring steel back. and trump one here because of his stated opposition to trade deals that lead to a lot of cheap imported steel and his pledge to investigate whether the u.s. is reliance on steel imports is a threat to u.s. national security but

a decision on that speech may still be several months away the white house is reported to be split on the issue at the clinton you know all the disappointments not least because while the white house has a tate's steel imports have soared i thought it would have been done a little summer make a decision but overseas they know this might become an artist dump and even more with jones didn't vote for trump we're still flatline might not mean since the election but then he never trusted trump he was willing to retain some hope that hasn't yet been justified i'm not sure he believes in another then you know money but money. now for the top. several times over the last year don't trump has touted his job creation skills only for job losses soon to fall or the most infamous example is the carrier factory in indiana kariya will never leave but since then hundreds of workers have quietly been laid off from the plant as jobs moved elsewhere. as the president of the clinton branch of the united

steelworkers who seems to be his nature. there's still hope in the valley but having been failed by both the democrats and republicans in the past if trump's words turn out to be empty they say it's nothing new but you have to remember one thing we've been promised a lot of things nobody has ever come through with the promises. pledged to revitalize communities here in the valley with ambitious plans to refashion them as hubs for twenty first century jobs but by pledging to return them to a heyday not seen for seventy years for many here it was worth a try however improbable. pennsylvania. in brazil more than twenty million people are being vaccinated against yellow fever after an outbreak of the disease at least fifteen people have died in the southeast and state of maine us have us in the last month and a public health emergency has been declared in terms of our reports. this is the

lack of preparation was exposed the full year on nothing has changed it's due to the fog that there are fundamentally routes are being violently those people don't have a house don't have access to medical care. they say absolutely nothing the belloc family got shelter three months ago through the norwegian refugee council saima is now pregnant but their only guaranteed accommodation for three months more so they could end up back here again before she gives birth. while the greek authorities and charities try to prioritise families single men have no chance one meal a day provided by young european volunteers working off to nations and that's it there's no doubt the big increase in people crossing the every river into northern greece is simply compounded the homeless problem here in fact the only thing we're told is now completely full there is simply nowhere to put all these people then
