senator. al jazeera. and for you. this is al-jazeera.

hello i'm adrian finnegan this is the news our live from joe coming up in the next sixty minutes a u.n. report says the saudi led coalition is responsible for the deaths of dozens of children in yemen. a third suspected chemical weapons attack by syrian government forces within a month prompts a warning from the u.s. plus. undone you fly and they're in love with the city shoeshine boys gone maligned and stigmatized are emerging from the shadows. in school we'll hear from the superstar quarterback aiming for n.f.l. history tom brady of the new patriots a means to become the first player to win six super bowl championships. al-jazeera has obtained a u.n. report which says the saudi led coalition bears the greatest responsibility for the deaths of dozens of children in yemen last summer it says the coalition was

responsible for the killing of sixty eight children of the wounding of thirty six others from july to september the report found that there were at least thirty coalition raid. every day some targeting schools and homes but it also points the finger at who the rebels blaming them for the deaths of eighteen children and for wounding twenty nine others susan megan is a protection an advocacy advisor on yemen at the norwegian refugee council she says the international community must do more to stop the conflict this report details children who have been killed in attacks in violence but it doesn't account for the millions of others that are affected by the conflict including thousand that have. hundreds of thousands that have been affected by cholera children that are not able to go to school children that are on the brink of dying of starvation so i'd like to think it'll be taken seriously but it remains to be seen i it is astounding to

me that we have a united nations security council that has not commented on yemen in now more than seven months. that the scale of suffering in yemen is incomparable we have twenty two million people in need a west beaking to families who are fleeing their homes because of violence in constructing houses out of plastic bags and people don't have enough to eat they're forced to eat whatever they can find this this sort of suffering is inexcusable and we'd really like to see some action taken from the u.s. the u.k. and the united nations security council that we're seeing that all parties to this conflict have to complete disregard for the impact of the conflict on civilians and the numbers might be increasing or decreasing but we can never be absolutely sure what those numbers are because some of these areas are so hard to reach in any case any attack that impacts civilians or forces them to leave their homes is clearly an

illusion of the rules of war and something we call on parties to to stop immediately. the united states is taking a tough stand against suspected chemical weapons attacks in syria the trumpet ministration says it's not ruling out the use of force to deter syrian government forces the u.s. says that it's extremely concerned about a suspected chlorine gas attack on thursday in duma near damascus the u.s. state department says that it could be the third chemical attack in thirty days notice here as roselyn jordan reports from washington. the civil war in syria has not been at the top of the news agenda here in washington for at least several weeks but on thursday the trumpet ministration made known a couple of serious concerns about the conduct of the war on the part of the government of president bashar al assad first reporters were told in a briefing off camera that they do believe that the syrian government still has

a chemical weapons arsenal and did not come clean about the extent of their chemical weapons holdings back during the obama administration when they gave up their weapons in order to not face any sort of u.s. military action for targeting people with chemical weapons during the syrian civil war then here at the state department new allegations about the use of a weapon that technically isn't a weapon but still has very dangerous effects when used against people we are watching very carefully and the united states is an extremely concerned about yet another report of the use of chlorine gas by syria the syrian regime to terrorize innocent civilians in the east good of syria outside of damascus if confirmed the attack is the third reported instance in the past thirty days in east ghouta we take the allegations of chemical weapons use very seriously and are working with our partners on the ground to investigate the reports so beyond raising public

awareness about the security situation inside syria the trumpet ministration is trying to see if they can somehow come up with a new way of verifying that the syrian government still does possess chemical weapons there has been an organization known as the joint investigative mechanism which should have been renewed according to the u.s. at the end of december so that it could continue its work trying to verify what syria is doing and what it's not doing in terms of using chemical weapons russia which is serious closes down. took action and said no we don't want to reauthorize this body so now u.s. officials are trying to figure out if there's a new way of standing up a group that can try to not only gather the evidence of what syria is doing against its own people but use that evidence as a foundation for possibly lobbying potential sanctions against the outside government meanwhile of how my province also held by the rebels airstrikes

destroyed an underground hospital it was regarded as one of the best protected in syria but medics say that repeated strikes on thursday put it out of service and enough free in northern syria kurds a bearing the dead as turkey continues its offensive against y.p. g five says the operation began nearly two weeks ago has killed at least sixty civilians and dozens of fighters on both sides as well as displacing thousands of people let's go live out of antakya in southern turkey zero zero stephanie decker is the stuff i want to talk to you about these this attack on the hospital and the chemical the suspected chemical attack but first let's start with the situation on the border between turkey and syria and turkey's continuing offensive against p.g. faces. well it's been relatively quiet so to speak agent if we can call it that yes there's been some fighting on the ground yesterday the f.s.a. that's the free syrian army announced they're backed of course by the turkish

forces and also they've taken another village just along sort of the northern africa border with with turkey called so having said that in the two weeks of this offensive is now ongoing it does seem to be relatively slow progress of course a lot of airpower involved airstrikes artillery rocket fire we've seen it all outgoing and some incoming as well but they're making some headway along sort of the border areas because turkey has that northern and western border with a freenet from what we understand thousands of people as you mentioned of fled those border areas towards the city itself of the free in situations like the city roughly in itself we understand no shelling there at the moment because it's still quite a lot of that buffer zone so to speak that they have but certainly at the moment the offensive seems to be focusing on creating a buffer zone this is also what we've heard from the politicians in ankara to push the wipe away from turkey's borders to start with all right let's deal with the

hospital attack on those reports of chlorine gas being used in eastern due to the u.s. state department saying it could be the chemical attack in certain days where we know. yes well according to the local council in duma that is eastern route of course they say that it is confirmed that this is the third one on the thirteenth one of the twenty second and one yesterday they also say doctors there say that the patients who came into the hospital showed the symptoms of what would equate with inhalation of korean gas you have some bodies who sort of trying to verify the facts on the ground in syria because of course it is very much a propaganda war looking at the canisters used and saying that they all have the same serial number seemingly from the same batch and you mentioned earlier now we've had the u.s. reacting expressing concern chlorine gas of course was not under that agreement in two thousand and thirteen when damascus agreed to give up its chemical weapons program and the weapons that it had because in two thousand and thirteen agencies

briefly in the same area of eastern that horrific chemical gas attack which killed over a thousand three hundred people the american said then it was a red line they didn't really act you had that chemical weapons program and now they're hinting that they're concerned that perhaps damascus still has some capabilities or stephanie many thanks to sarah stephanie decker there live in turkey thousands of people in pakistan are demanding that a police officer be arrested and executed for shooting dead a man that's the second day of a mass rally there twenty seven year old not keep a sword was killed in an operational weapon state his family denies claims by police that he was a criminal the officer who led the operation has been relieved of his duties more now from kabul and islamabad. thousands of protesters mainly from the mayfield drive but also ahead by other tribal and north waziristan as well as south waziristan have congregated and their cows are in store demand justice for not

countries will help finance education in developing regions south sudan is one of the worst places for children when it comes to getting an education more children out of school there than in any other country have a morgan reports from juba. it's not class time but balding says he wishes he could go to school his school however is not like it used to be it's now in a u.n. camp for displaced people where he's been since he fled fighting in his hometown in the north of the country but. when the fighting took place our schools were destroyed in my brother and i were afraid would be recruited by armed groups so we ran to the un camps for safety now i miss my old school and friends. bolding is one of more than sixty thousand children receiving education in u.n. camps around south sudan the civil war now in its fifth year has seen thousands of people killed and millions displaced it's also had

a major impact on education with one point eight million or seventy percent of school aged children not getting any the united nations children's agency unicef says one in every three schools have been destroyed or damaged occupied or close at least once during the war and even in those areas where there was no fighting there are still challenges to be faced getting access to education south sudan's constitution provides free education but students have to pay schools for registration and for uniforms and exam fees with the were weakening big kaname many families struggle to find the money and pull their children out of school most of those forced to leave are girls not to go foci is one of them. i used to go to school but my father passed away and my mother couldn't afford to pay the registration fees for me and my siblings so no i don't attend classes i don't feel good about that the rest of the kids get to go to school and i can't go the u.n. says south sudan has one of the highest illiteracy rates in the world about three

are out of school most of them half of them are young girls so an ambitious project and was for the last decade adrian aid for developing countries has gone up money for education has stagnated and has even dropped in certain areas especially here in francophone africa and that's because western country mostly donor countries are not giving money towards education instead they're funding other projects like climate change or the fight against terrorism and this has dire consequences on people here especially those who are vulnerable especially those who have disabilities and that's one of the themes that's going to be addressed in this conference how do we get children who have disabilities who are visually impaired who are handicapped and get them into school so that they are also taking care for this system now joining with me in the. light for the world and yourself visually

impaired you from south africa tell me more about the way you went through your schooling and why is it so important to to address this issue of disability so my father. went to special school and he wanted to go to regular school kids and get a better education and we can succeed in. texas. so education. is fundamental because it's a human right and they should not be deprived of that and will have to give every child in middle income countries opportunity to be left out of poverty the reality is actually that. investment child with a disability as to just the time to be to investment in. education. is planned here to raise two billion dollars per year for the next two years are in western countries and donor countries committed to education you know there's such a bubble. actual concrete. commitment in terms of pledges so far we have and

i'm weary of. the intel we received is that. this. and that means that. we really need to change a situation we've seen conferences like this before here we have president we have we have superstars we have expected to come in talk here do these conferences actually achieve anything for for people who want to go to school especially those who have disabilities i think it shows that they're just bringing it makes the visible before and this is. the previous. now for the first time actually explicitly with disabilities. education so really and people talking about the need for. disability shows that this is we shouldn't be forgotten

. thank you very much if you. today across the world. in tunisia even in france there are teachers that have taken to the streets there. to protest for better working conditions for better pay and this is really an issue not just for students but also for teachers it's not just about schooling it's about education as a whole and it's a crisis that doesn't just affect people in developing countries it also affects people in the developed world where. european countries are not on target to meet. their rates of people graduating from secondary school so there's a real think here there's a real. people coming together to try to discuss education solutions to solutions so that millions of children are not left out of school. many thanks. live in. a former president of the mall dave says that he plans to run elections later this

council every month the council meets to discuss the conflict normally ambassadors of israel and of palestine attend but in a deeply unusual move mahmoud abbas will himself be there he's angered by the trumpet ministrations decision to formally recognize jerusalem as israel's capital and to cut a large chunk of its funding to the u.n. agency that provides humanitarian aid to palestinians the last straw was president trumps attack on him last week at davos he said he disrespected vice president mike pence declined to give an audience to when he visited the middle east the decision of the palestinian leader to come to the u.n. it was announced by the incoming president of the security council what do you hope it will achieve having him here in the council chamber. president abbas will come it will be a good thing in that it will be a good thing for the members of the security council to listen to the president

himself it will be beneficial for everyone the israeli ambassador to the united nations danny down on has issued a statement saying that president abbas is completely misreading the situation and harming the prospects for his own people it's not clear at this stage who will attend the security council meeting for israel or the united states james out jazeera at the united nations the white house is expected to release a controversial memo about the way the f.b.i. and the justice department investigated alleged russian interference in the twenty sixteen presidential election alan fischer reports from washington. memo has dominated talk in washington for days donald trump was even asked about it as he left his state of the union speech something. that was going to happen that in fact the four page memo was written by republicans on the house intelligence committee it alleges a misuse of power by the f.b.i. and justice department under the obama administration while investigating the tramp

campaign during the u.s. election the f.b.i. issued a real statement arguing that there were important details left out which would fundamentally impact the memos accuracy and the justice department says releasing the document would be extraordinarily reckless it's the president who must make the ultimate decision to declassify and release but no after a national security review the white house is blanked out some parts of the document and sent it back to the committee it can no be published at any time at a gathering of republicans in west virginia the president made no fresh mention of the memo but afterwards speaking to the media republican leadership defended the idea of its release this memo is not an indictment of the f.b.i. the department of justice it does not impugn the mall or investigation or the deputy attorney general what it is is the congress's legitimate function of oversight democrats have argued the release of the memo over their own

objections are all part of a campaign to undermine the investigation into alleged russian meddling in the presidential election in fact the leading democrat in the house has called on the republican chairman of the intelligence committee devon is to be removed in a letter to speaker paul ryan nancy pelosi says congressman is has abused his position to launch a highly unethical and dangerous cover up campaign for the white house congressman nunez deliberately dishonest actions make him unfit to serve as chairman and he must be removed immediately from this position the leading democrat on the committee says the row doesn't serve the american people. the memo is seriously misleading because it omits very material information and has deep factual inaccuracies this was part of the trump transition team unless you recused himself from leading the russian investigators now you will decide if you will release the memo that he wrote one of the quality which continues to divide washington and the

country alan fischer al-jazeera washington the us defense to pop in this year to release its nuclear weapons or if you president donald trump has repeatedly said that he wants to overhaul the country's aging. but as a serious political hate explains that is easier said than done. on friday the u.s. will release its nuclear posture review like most modern presidents donald trump ordered the review when he first took office he tweeted in august that his first order was to renovate and modernize our nuclear arsenal saying it's far stronger and more powerful than ever before that's just is not true he ordered a review not a renovation and it isn't actually possible to strengthen the arsenal in such a short period of time the pentagon was already looking to modernize the country's nuclear weapons president barack obama wanted to spend between one to one point two trillion dollars over the next thirty years to do just that it's likely the new

review will once again call for modernizing the one thousand three hundred sixty seven warheads that are currently deployed getting congress to pay for it will be a much bigger challenge. every year thousands of people risk their lives leaving your assumed i hope of a better future in the united states on jura says one of the most violent countries in the world and those who attempt the journey face many hazards as sanchez reports now from el progresso the route north is getting more dangerous. and. he felt strong enough to catch a moving train in mexico it's to train the take so many young central americans towards the united states to flee the violence and achieve the american dream of a better life but many like alexis full or die. i grabbed onto the train wouldn't move so much i hit my head and fell i woke up four days later to realize i was like this my life is so sad it's

accident happened a decade ago he says he still can dream to have a job. he's a beggar and relies on his family for shelter and i don't. have a. job would be the most important thing for me but it's very hard for people who are handicapped so i don't even have a chance somebody in the. private organizations who held the party say most don't receive government help you're going to get some pressure on us as one of us but if these people are live in the crudest reality in a country that doesn't offer any options for an honest dignified life they are physically and mentally affected. and in a country where more than sixty percent of them are poor and nearly forty percent live under the poverty line victims like alexi say they have no home and i just i just see the little that is so on to the us britain and china have agreed to take

london arriving at the muslim welfare house in finsbury park after midnight where people were leaving after ramadan prayers and one man back alley happened to fall ill on the street c.c.t.v. footage shows the van moments before it drove into the crowd on the left of the screen. donald korn drove down this road the seven sisters road into this little cul de sac where a crowd of people were trying to help mark riley who by coincidence had for an ill just a few moments before he plowed into the crowd as he got out of his i wouldn't think court said that he was smiling the local him and protected him from the crowd until the police arrived moments later the police say that this was an attack on all londoners no. no the police have released a call from someone who asks for help is he conscious.

then specifics we hear the attack. are already come out of people are going oh oh. the police told me darren osborne acted alone but right wing extremism is a growing threat in britain we have arrested more individuals than we've ever done in relation to domestic extremism related activity. we've seen three groups described by the government the government has also appointed a new extremist commissioner which is welcome. and we are pushing more people through our prevent and channel program relevant again this category of people this diverse community has suffered i spoke to the who protected daryl's born from the angry crowd they're all lost in scores and. those immediately affected and then there is a last thing fear. and concern in the air

holocaust nazi occupied poland was the second world war site of some of the worst horrors of the holocaust the concentration camp at auschwitz birkenau has become its most potent symbol but poland objects to terms such as polish death camps instead of nazi ones pointing out poles were victims of invasion then occupation. we are very sad and surprised our fight for the truth for the dignity of poles is perceived and interpreted in this way. the bill would punish with up to three years' imprisonment anyone accusing the polish nation of complicity in the extermination of the jews the domestic opponents of the proposed law its terms to prove that this. sort of public discussion should take place without any obstacles it cannot take place under the supervision of the prosecutor after poland's lower house voted the bill through last friday israel's prime minister called it an attempt to rewrite history demanding the proposed legislation be amended israeli

government says it adamantly opposed to this second vote adding that no law can change historical truth and there is support in the israeli parliament the knesset for a bill here to challenge the polish one by offering protection legally to anyone prosecuted for their views on the holocaust overseas and making it illegal to deny complicity in the holocaust as well as the event itself opposition leader ya appeared his great grandmother was killed in poland is one of the law's sponsors if you see the candle for does this and it is that it was for our share of the last couple of weeks important to this you understand why is it so important for us to be able to maintain the memory of the holocaust isn't what really happened during the years of the forty five jews were murdered and poles were helping israel's holocaust memorial yad vashem pays tribute to nearly seven thousand poles who didn't save their jewish neighbors at the height of the holocaust but one of israel's leading

scholars on the period says many more poles were complicit and corinth research shows us that many of those jews were killed not because of the german something they were handed to the germans but by poorly citizens by paul who found them to polish government this bill is an effort to stop a defeated occupied nation from being defamed as a partner in the nazi genocide to israelis it seems like an attempt to shield thousands of polish citizens from blame or a force that al-jazeera west jerusalem. i hear now from dr william black from the university college in london he thinks that more research into actually happened during world war two is needed this new law seems to be an attempt basically to limit discussion about what happened in poland during the second world war in the context of the nazi occupation. this is a very complex history you know the roles of paul's in relation to what was going on to the nazis policies towards the jews it's very complicated people you know had

. those very different behaviors in that situation in an extreme situation and it's you know it's a topic which is still under research still needs more discussion and it still hasn't it's not something which you know society has i think completely comes to terms with you know a lot has happened in poland in terms of coming to terms with what happened during the holocaust and the history of polish jewish relations a lot of good things have happened you know over the last going to twenty five thirty years. and this unfortunately seems to be rolling back a little bit. rising temperatures in the arctic melt ice that used to cover the region all year round ships are beginning to make their way through waters that once far too dangerous to do so as part of our series on global trade routes danny alack looks at north america's northwest passage.

which immortalized in folk songs poetry and popular history the northwest passage was fascinated canadians for centuries once explorers and adventurers now shipping lines and cruise ship passengers all have sought the northwest passage. until two thousand and seven canada's arctic was ice bound all year but rising temperatures are melting sea ice at an alarming rate leaving open water for at least part of each year since then cargo and passenger ships from europe the u.s. canada even china have sailed through here traffic is expected to double by two thousand and twenty the epic is an incredibly large remote and extreme region it's a hazardous place to navigate at the best of times and the remoteness means that there's no search and rescue capacity located anywhere close to the northwest

passage other concerns are environmental an oil spill in these now pristine waters would be devastating to fish and wildlife that local people need for survival the rules governing shipping have to change say experts putting the rules in place that benefit communities and protect wildlife it includes regulations on the discharge of pollutants like grey water and sewage includes phasing out or banning some of the most toxic fuels like heavy fuel oil it it also includes restraints on emissions and reducing greenhouse gas emissions from shipping for thousands of years the indigenous people of the north the in wheat have roamed the ice water and land thanks to land claims agreements they now have a real say in how the northwest passage will be developed as well as tough environmental standards the people of the north are demanding a share of economic benefits and jobs that may come once international shipping

begins using the passage regularly but then we don't have or along our coastline. we need. that they're evil and that kind of intent and i think there's an opportunity there that knowledge of the land. temperatures in the north are rising faster than. even recreational sailors from far away. so many for so long. with.

well again it takes decades to perfect the art of painting porcelain by hand but most of craftsman in hong kong are reaching retirement age and young the prince is hard to find to keep the last remaining factory the in business the sarah clarke reports. spice is a rarity in this paulson factory shelves are crammed to be ginger jars vases

crockery and plates but each piece tells a story all a hand painted with traditional cantonese designs. traditionally the painting should be orderly such as using straight lines but over time develop my own style by incorporating the ling then school of chinese painting into my work must attend she home is one of the last four craftsman at hong kong's first and last decorative paulson factories their work is highly sought after with places commissioned by royal families hollywood celebrities and five star hotels in hong kong but the craftsman are all over seventy and at retirement age and despite the factories reputation it's struggling to find new recruits but as a porcelain artist of course i want more people to learn the craft mean ship and ensured survival but in reality not many people are interested because it takes time and you can't really make ends meet with this job just of cho is

a third generation owner of the business his grandfather started the factory in one thousand nine hundred twenty eight but his son and grandson i'm not keen to learn the technique and take up the reins the first generation we are always in a factory and so on laura the spear was prepared opprobrium for the new generation her last such. a patience her interest that brought this to the floor got worse in its heyday there about three hundred workers in this factory in fact it was one of the largest in hong kong but high rent and cost of labor has my production expensive and all but one of these factories has now moved to the mainland it's a move that joseph cha is not yet ready to embrace after ninety years in hong kong he's done hosting workshops showcasing their collection in an effort to convince others to pick up the brush as we have with them or have you ever get somebody else right you to. it's really tells us we have to take care of just like every other

you know the family behind the business other russian will translate to other craft so the fact they can stay open and the last film asked is to put down the brush and the time. al-jazeera hong kong. time now for sports here's andy thank you so much aging well new england patriots coach bill belichick says there's no quarterback he'd rather have on his team than tom price the panel be aiming for the sixth super bowl title against the philadelphia eagles the statement was doing much to put a lid on speculation about a french ring in the jew i was working relationship friday's patriots the defending champions in a one two of the last three super bowls last january when recovered from a twenty five point deficit so i've become the atlanta falcons i think in some ways i'm more relaxed when we're losing because if you don't do anything you're to know what the outcome is going to be so i always look at it is you know a great opportunity and i think man if we come back to win this this is what this

is what people are going to remember is what people are going to really want to see we've been ahead we've been beyond and that's so other teams that's just what you do is keep playing and you work throw situations but i think last year's game last year situations everything to do with this year's team is a different team and there are a lot of different players on the world to get as much relevant. well the eagles have the chance to win the super bowl for the first time in the franchise's history on sunday they've got this far twice before losing in one thousand nine hundred eighty to the oakland raiders and in two thousand and five they were beaten by brady and the new england patriots. we expect a lot about ourselves we want to be. in history and cement our own legacy so there's no added pressure. you know from the fans we put pressure on ourselves to be great and so that's what it's going to come down to on sunday is making sure that we end up in history on the right side of history and we cement our legacies

as the first super bowl champs in philly history well despite all the preparations for sunday's spectacle in minnesota patriots coach bill belichick took time out to catch some n.b.a. action he was on hand to see an impressive display from the cymbals in particular from jimmy butler the shooting guard top scoring from minnesota as they built the be the milwaukee bucks he hit twenty eight points in the white eighty nine when it symbols six full three in the western conference and. west ham united football club have suspended that director of player recruitment after it was alleged he made it discriminates remarks about african players in a statement west ham said that acted swiftly jutes the serious nature of these claims it's reported that tony henry claimed african players cause mayhem when the not picked in the first team and that the club wouldn't be buying any more players from the consonants we're going to in football reisa gary l. smith says it's important for the premier league's african fans that the club and

the english football association take the matter seriously. i think that they have stopped dead in the right way because these books based on two it's not that the f.b.i. is investigating that much always come up also been to the of suspended henry pending any investigation to i think that everybody is thinking seriously like you said west ham have issued a statement saying that it included discrimination there the. training people in the equality and diversity and so on is so forth so i think that any african crisis would look at some isolated is that it wasn't one person and not the club in general because i mean you have to be quite really two to go with african story when it comes to the english premier league it will be no english premier league and their success without the african input so i do think that this is a problem that's all the top flight french referee who kicked a plant during
