over who exactly shot down the plane a group formally linked to al qaida says it did it but al jazeera sources in turkey suggest both the turks and the russians are blaming a moderate group backed by the u.s. stephanie decker reports from the turkey syria border. a lot of. this is a russian fighter jet shot down by opposition forces. i mean remember the pilot manages to eject but he didn't survive. for these syrian fighters it's a huge symbolic victory. russian the syrian government have intensified their bombardment of province over the last two months government forces a slowly capturing territory in the south what is the last remaining syrian province under full rebel control. they're inching closer to the city of soccer

which lies on a strategic road linking the northwest all the way to the capital damascus territory that is now almost fully under government control. and in syria's complex web of regional and international allegiances some say this offensive has been well planned and has further implications been there are some people who are in fact wondering if there is a tacit agreement between the russians and the turks whereas the russians would actually give the green light for the turks to act in against the kurds in exchange for darshan's and allies actually to capture parts of this of this. the government itself. between the mosques and thereby. that offensive against the kurdish controlled district of africa is now into its third week turkey's backing fighters from the free syrian army against the kurdish people protection units why p.g. turkey considers the y.p.

attack it's dominated by al qaeda is former affiliate in the syria which used to be called front then the nasir which al jazeera sources understand is being blamed by turkey and russia its name translates as the army a victory and its links to the free syrian army the groups being backed by the us russian military and defense analyst pavel felgenhauer told al-jazeera the downing of the fighter jet will boost the confidence of the rebels. we shouldn't forget that the quite an apparently a number of some russian jets were destroyed by mortar fire in the last month in just a month ago that's me me i'm based by the rebels so the rebels are hitting back at the russians and there are casualties with the russians of course these are not very serious casualties that would cause that much resentment inside in the russian

society but still the rebels are fighting back that will raise their morale and lower maybe the morale of the russian pilots a bit which maybe you will be given instructions to be more careful not to go into to fly over five kilometers high at least to be out of range of the small shoulder launched missiles the syrian government says u.s. accusations that its use chlorine in an attack on rebel held eastern ghouta are lies without evidence the volunteer rescue group called the white helmets says three people were killed in thursday's attack on the own place and many more were injured if that's true it would be the third time in a month that chloe has been used by the syrian government the u.s. has accused president bashar al assad's forces of producing and using new kinds of weapons to deliver deadly chemicals italy's prime minister has condemned a racially motivated to drive by shooting saying hatred and violence will not be

a fascist salute up to six people were shot and. at least eleven soldiers have been killed in a suicide bomb attack in northern pakistan the soldiers were playing volleyball in the town in the swat valley thirteen others have been injured. the u.s. president says a republican classified memo released by congress clears him in the probe into links between russia and his presidential campaign he says this memo totally vindicates trump probe but the russian witch hunt goes on and on there was no collusion and there was no obstruction the word not. used because after one year of looking endlessly and finding nothing collusion is dead this is an american disgrace the memo was written by republicans on the house intelligence committee it was released on friday says the f.b.i. and the justice department abused their powers by using unsubstantiated evidence to spy on a trump aide the f.b.i.

had argued against its release saying it had grave concerns that the document contains what it calls material missions of fact democrats on the committee want to release their own memo in response they say the republican memo is aimed at dealing special counsel robert monos investigation into the trump campaign's alleged links to russia and gallica is live for us in washington d.c. i guess andy the all eyes are now watching to see what happens next. yeah there are a few key questions here rob the biggest concern from democrats and some republicans is that president trump wants to use this memo as a pretext to fire robert muller the special counsel who is heading up the rush or investigation of course we know that he wanted to do that back in the summer he didn't because some of his senior members of staff threatened to resign and democrats say if he does do that it will cause a constitutional crisis the other big question is what happens to the deputy

attorney general rob rod rosenstein who is part of this investigation who has the power himself to fire robert mueller and of course who in the last few hours president trump has talked about in very negative terms not the first time he's done that with his own team members and the other question is whether president will allow the democrats to release their own version their own ten page report he's indicated that he might do that as long as the memorandum doesn't break any security concerns but remember this initial memo from the republicans both the f.b.i. and the justice department said don't do this there are security concerns but it goes to show you that in this administration between president trump and his own intelligence community there are lots of bad feelings and essentially president trump is at war with both the f.b.i. and the justice department and i know that's an important point isn't it because this is a very rare circumstance to find such a divide between a u.s.

presidential administration and the intelligence services. well look the intelligence committee where all this is coming out of is traditionally a bipartisan committee they are working on behalf of the american people for the security of its people in this country it's now ripped apart down partisan lines you've got republicans releasing memos with and talking about transparency while at the same time not allowing the democrats to do the same thing it is and hasn't happened really since richard nixon's days in the one nine hundred sixty s. when he started to fire people join the watergate investigate watergate investigation so these are deeply concerning times no one is sure what will happen next president trump is being advised over and over again that firing robert mala will not help a situation that could even make it worse whilst he is tweeting repeatedly that this whole thing is a witch hunt and his campaign had no collusion with the russian government and they

thanks very much indeed the u.s. secretary of state is in argentina on his second the stop of his five nation tour of latin america rex tillerson will meet argentina's foreign minister on the sunday he's using the tour to improve u.s. relations in the region on friday he met mexico's president to ease worries over donald trump's comments on immigration and trade he also wants to shore up support for washington's tough stance on venezuela's president in a row or robert valencia is a latin america reporter for newsweek magazine he says donald trump is comments have complicated tell us and trip. it's a very difficult circumstance for secretary tillerson for one reason the country's in implementing sanctions against venezuelan officials obviously it's not in the u.s. interest to establish economic sanctions for the country as a whole and obviously tillerson was talked out of the idea of suggesting that.

venezuela militaries will actually turn against my little because of the history of governments being overthrown in latin america for decades one of the things that i want to point now is twelve hours ago we've heard president trump saying that he would consider cutting funds to countries that poor drugs in the united states obviously we're talking about colombia and tillerson is going to colombia so he's not going to have an easy job to explain what trump just said moments ago and colombia is a very important south american now only ally if not the most important ally in south america because israel is just right next to venezuela so it's very important for for tillerson to give a great explanation to president juan manuel santos and all colombians who basically expect funds to fight drug scene colombia but at the same time a country that has been able to. in a way retain the populist wave from coming from venezuela another we have elections

in colombia so that's the plays out very well so i what i mean is that tillerson is not going to have a very easy job now the trump made the comments moments ago at the office of border of customs and border protection in northern virginia argentina's once booming biofuels industry is suffering after its main market the u.s. imposed a seventy two percent tariff on ports the move is part of the trump administration's america first policy to ensure u.s. producers don't lose out to foreign imports to the symbol has been speaking to people in the rosado in. who've been hit hard by the u.s. tariffs. six years ago this factory was producing sixteen thousand tons of bio diesel fuel now it's down to about six thousand and. the interest rate won't grow there's no investment it worries us that the united states will stop importing or bio diesel interest it was created to export not only to

fulfill internal needs. some say factories located in the province of santa fe argentina as first victims of donald trump's america first approach to foreign trade the us announced a seventy two percent tariff on imports of its biodiesel american officials accuse argentina of a fairly subsidizing the country's biodiesel industry at the expense of u.s. producers. the decision is arbitrary unjustified and illegal they discarded all the arguments presented by argentina argentina has an export tax on the story of being in a different one for bio diesel it is not a subsidy this is one of mr trump's protectionist policies. almost ninety percent of argentina's biodiesel is directed to the united states cutting that flow has impacted almost thirty companies here and jobs at risk argentina is one of the world's top soybean producers and biodiesel here is also produced with this crop it

is a crucial source of income for argentina because it provides the u.s. dollars to be economy desperately needs dollars that help keep the trade balance in check since taking office president has been trying to open up argentina's economy in the not that argentina is trying to open its economy in bio diesel is one of the products that exports the most by losing its main means we will have to look elsewhere argentina cannot afford to lose markets if it wants to get its economy back on track environment. to list have long questioned the cost of argentina's reliance on the. entire areas of the country's forest have been destroyed to grow what is known here as green gold experts say bio diesel is different in. the united states and europe request a sustainability test so that the soya being used for bio diesel can be checked

argentina has been certified and credited for this. argentina says it will file a complaint against the united states at the world trade organization in the meantime factories here will have to find new overseas markets either there to save the industry and precious jobs or. argentina mexican police have arrested three people on suspicion of human trafficking they found about three hundred central american migrants being transported in dangerous conditions in two separate states almost two hundred people from guatemala honduras and el salvador have been found crammed into tractor trailers without food water or proper ventilation in one of the state's tama lupus which is on the u.s. border. a new school curriculum is to be rolled out in kenya for the first time in thirty two years but some parents say the new teaching methods are too ambitious and too expensive critics say the government also needs to focus on building more

schools employing more teachers and buying more books catherine song reports from nairobi. there's a new way of teaching in this public school classroom. class to children on the outskirts of the capital are part of a pilot program for the new curriculum to be rolled out next year it will close is more in life skills technology nattering talent and less on final exams many parents and teachers say it's a welcome change from the old one called eight for four but also ambitious and expensive for its not to fill the government in need to consult even the donuts because as you have seen. the. ninety's and just the same with it for four started with the horrors of a good system because we had walked ships students used to be trained on home science on things that they can do with their own hands but then a defeat of the because of lack of funds primary and secondary education in public

schools is free but they are crowded and there's not enough teachers or books so many parents who cannot find space in government schools or afford expensive private ones bring their children to even more crowded cheap community schools like this one in one of nairobi slums skin or oh ages we are still because these are complimentary schools whatever we get to be our school fees is not enough to cut off from the teachers and maybe i would say we begin by telling them that we only issue i talking here. that whole can is just about a hundred and fifty dollars a month at the highest the teachers here are more fortunate than in their the schools which pay much less for more work this is one of the moment when you need to hold. more i think in the face of. to decide to. move down and out of you then you can. write even for

a. spin express and this director of a child education rights group shows us findings of research done middle school pupils in dozens of government schools nationwide were tested on literacy and comprehension most well below average you get it in a class where you have maybe fifty children twenty of them. there are many thirty not so you keep getting the twenty every day you're moving one when they cleaned their i guess that's going to. their left way behind they're not getting up and there is a problem. back at work when your primary students prepare for their final exam at the end of this. their teacher they're all trying their best with a little they have catherine sorry al-jazeera now can you.
