there's been no letup in the syrian government's assault on eastern despite a growing international outcry syrian forces backed by their allies russia bombs rockets and shells have killed at least two hundred fifty people since sunday in the last rebel stronghold near damascus activists are describing the death toll in the last forty eight hours as a massacre and they say it's the highest since the twenty thirteen chemical attack on the area has been besieged by the government since twenty thirteen four hundred thousand people arrested to be trapped in the rebel held on klav. is only a few kilometers away from the government center of power the presidential palace but are fears the bombardment could lead to a larger ground operation center called the reports from beirut. panic in the streets.

here in people's faces. neighborhoods. the airstrikes are almost continuous. are coming fire. children traumatized. oh some four hundred thousand people are trapped in this besieged syrian opposition enclave nowhere is safe. the sound of fighter jets in the skies frightens the population. and muhammad and her son the same say they can only hope the walls in their home will save them if a shell or an airstrike hit nearby i didn't we have no choice but to stay in our harm's despite be in strikes and shelling outbuilding and those in the street said

i don't have underground shelter. the u.n. says the humanitarian situation is spiraling out of control because of what it calls an extreme escalation of hostilities scores of civilians have been killed since sunday and the number continues to rise. there are hundreds of injuries as well doctors are appealing to the international community to force the government to allow supplies in several cars food we have shortages in medicine and medical supplies because the regime has been hitting this area for weeks we've had to deal with many injuries imagine longer have blood bags. the un is demanding an end to the targeting of civilians but for the syrian government and its allies this is a military tactic. they hope that by inflicting suffering on the population they will turn against the rebels and force them to surrender. eastern

as the last remaining opposition stronghold around damascus comments made by russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov what he calls using the experience if. there are causing the first the syrian government regain full control of these. thousands of after months and a full blown military assault that. the main opposition body the syrian national coalition is calling the latest wave of violence a war of extermination it is also condemning what it calls the international silence. this is not the first bombing campaign in eastern. hundreds of civilians were killed in weeks of bombardment earlier this year many believe the renewed bombardment could be the final assault. well children inside. social media to plead for. everyone who can be

on me. as a vision has booked for this is just a good if you can give them phelps. as a child on. march fifth the children. before. i'm not. well unicef says it's so outrageous what's happening it's released a blank statement with a footnote saying we no longer have the words to describe children the suffering and our outrage to those inflicting the suffering still have words to justify their barbaric acts panelist montez is the un's regional humanitarian coordinator for syria he says the bombing has been relentless the situation inside is really is

extreme and there we've seen a dramatic escalation during the forty eight hours just today we had this six hospital which was attacked. in the last few days we're talking about close to four hundred thousand civilians who are living released an extreme situation with a heavy bombardment that is. evil described to their guns falling really just minutes apart a lot of civilians are in basements id ing women children and people who are really interior of their lives because there's so indeed high number of casualties no health facilities no water no electricity very little food available in an area which is the siege an arsonist military is not able to go in and processing government forces have entered the northwestern african region to help kurdish fighters there fend off a turkish assault was understood by syrian state t.v. showed pictures of their forces celebrating but as they did so turkish forces

reportedly target them with shell fire turkish president says his soldiers have now forced fighters backed by the assad government to leave the kurdish controlled parts of africa and as uptight about iran has vowed to capture the area within days or some a binge of it has more from gaza and tap on turkey's border with syria. a group of fighters loyal to president bashar assad's government has retreated from the city of our freedom these fighters were trying to get close to the city of kurdish by p.g. fighters had asked for help from the syrian government and it said that it will not send its regular forces but will provide them with irregular militias and should cause popular forces this happened after turkish artillery hit these areas when it saw that these forces were going in it happened only a couple of hours after the turkish president whether they have undergone announced that he and his forces are in another phase of the operation because we know

ongoing since last month and he promised his cabinet members that the city of offering is going to be captured by turkish forces and their allies these arab f.s.a. fighters in a matter of days this operation has been ongoing since january the twentieth and it has come at a heavy toll to the turkish government as well on egypt in the saga at the same time it takes to make certain perforations in the field the c.g. of the effort city will start rapidly in the coming days military sources on the ground have been telling us that it is easier said than done to capture the city of offering because it's very tough terrain and these dry p.g. kurdish fighters are locals to this area so the advance of the turkish government as well as the f.s.a. fighters who say they've captured a number of villages around the city of offering which will help them encircled and besieged have been very very slow their advance according to them has been slow not only because of the tough terrain but also because they want to avoid civilian

casualties but as we've seen in the syrian conflict as more forces arrive as a bigger of powers come to take areas that they had they want to control it's the civilians who suffered the most. russia's foreign minister says the syrian conflict can only be resolved if all parties respect each other's territorial integrity sergey lavrov has also called on turkey and syria to settle the effing crisis through direct talks. still i'm convinced that turkish interests with regards to ensuring security can be satisfied through direct dialogue with the syrian government i really hope that we will continue firmly standing against any attempts to untwist the kurdish problem for the sake of interest which lie in deepening chaos in the region and in destroying countries located there. plenty more ahead on the news hour including more revelations of a planned meeting between the u.s.

donald trump's campaign and russia is being felt by more people on tuesday the u.s. justice department again made headlines and now saying the latest person to be criminally charged in the probe alex vander swan a lawyer is accused of lying to f.b.i. agents about conversations between himself and a former trump advisor regain. gates made news last year when he was indicted along with president trump's former campaign chair paul mad afford for acting as a registered agent of the cranium government allegedly laundering millions of payments from ukraine and abating u.s. taxes both pled not guilty to the charges the latest indictment alleges vendors one also worked for the ukrainians and that he deleted and out. the wise did not produce e-mail stopped by the special counsel's office at least one e-mail

from happening again kimberly help al-jazeera washington the u.s. state department says north korean officials decided at the last minute not to meet vice president mike pence during his visit to south korea washington says pence is seen here sitting right in front of north korean leader kim jong un's sister had been willing to hold a meeting with her and other officials from pyongyang they were in the south korean's county appealing charring for the opening ceremony of the winter olympics the meeting would have been the first between senior officials from the two countries let's get more from the tussock on him who's in seoul natasha do we know more about what this meeting was supposed to achieve and why they pulled out at the last minute. well we do know that according to the washington post rob that this aborted meeting was two weeks in the making the cia got word that the north koreans wanted to meet the south koreans were to be the intermediary we do know that vice

president mike pence attended the v.i.p. reception for the opening ceremonies sat within an arm's length of kim jong un sister kim you know jiang and the ceremonial head of state and there was much comments made about the. lack of interaction between the two sides but in any event this meeting was supposed to take place the following day in seoul at the presidential blue house only the united states and north koreans were expected to be in the room and the hope was according to the pence team that the united states would use this as an opportunity to convey a face to face to kim jong sr the quote maximum pressure kind of policy that the united states plans to continue exerting on north korea unless it denuclearize is trump apparently took it very seriously that kim jong sr was in south korea it was historic as you might recall rob this was the first time

a member of the ruling kim family had stepped foot on south korean soil the interesting thing of course this comes against the backdrop natasha of the the south korea's president has been invited to the north and yet to the north has pulled out of this meeting with the u.s. is there any indication from the about where the dynamics of the relationships in the region are going as a result of the. well this is you know is a very tricky geopolitical situation you have president moon who is pushing for engagement and is has said that any kind of dialogue with north korea going forward must also involve the united states bear in mind north korea likely cancel that meeting because it was upset that earlier that week pence had said that the toughest round of economic sanctions sanctions were coming to north korea said that he wouldn't allow the north korean propaganda to whitewash their murderous regime and he met with north korean defectors meanwhile you have president moon trying to

advance his hope and policy of engagement with north korea and trying to reboot the relationship between the two koreas now today the south korean government is saying it has no official comment at this time about this aborted meeting and we do know that the north koreans have publicly said that they have no interest in meeting with the united states and since that aborted meeting rob they have unleashed a series of rather abusive comments regarding the united states natasha thanks very much in the u.s. president donald trump is recommending a ban on devices that can turn semiautomatic firearms into machine guns it would include so-called bump stalks which were used in the las vegas mass shooting in october where fifty eight people died in last week's florida school shooting spot when you debate on gun control but bump stocks were not used in that attack and just a few moments ago i signed

a memorandum directing the attorney general to propose regulations to pin all devices that turn illegal weapons into machine guns i expect that these critical regulations will be finalized jeff very soon. the key in all of these efforts as i said in my remarks the day after the shooting is that we cannot merely take actions that make us feel like we are making a difference we must actually make a difference we must move past lives shay's entire debates and focus on evidence based solutions and security measures that actually work and that make it easier for men and women of law enforcement to protect our children and to protect our safety while the white house says it is open to other options like raising the minimum age for buying guns or banning the type of rifle that was used in the fall

to school shooting there are currently laws in place in certain states that restrict that in terms of whether or not we make that federal policy that hasn't yet been determined but that's something that is not something that i think it's certainly something that's on the table for us to discuss and that we expect to come up over the next couple of. meanwhile survivors of the florida school shooting are taking their message to florida's capital after legislators there rejected the state ban on assault rifles and gallica has more. last wednesday's school shooting in parklane florida was one of the worst in this country's history seventeen people died when former student nicholas cruz walked into a school with an a r fifteen assault rifle but despite the fact that many of the students from that school is still going through the grieving process they're on their way here to florida state capital tallahassee where they'll meet with lawmakers on wednesday but a bill that would have banned assault rifles has already been overwhelmingly voted

down in the state legislature giving us some idea of the challenges they will face but these teenagers have been praised for their eloquence and they're determined to keep the momentum going we've opened doors that i feel like haven't been opened but . finally our lawmakers are talking we're on the national stage right now international stage action and. you know it's the first time that i've ever seen people survive a shooting and then directly after it demand change which is i think something that should have happened in this country a long time ago but it's taking kids fifteen years. on tuesday fifteen year old peter wang was laid to rest he'd been holding the door open for his classmates when he died in a hail of bullets a military couldn't he's now being posthumously accepted into west point military academy on tuesday also president trump is now pushing legislation that would ban starts a modification that was used in the last vegas shooting but these students no matter how determined they are will face an uphill battle convincing politicians in this state and across the nation to change gun laws will be extremely difficult but they

are determined to carry on with their campaign and plan another protest in march in washington d.c. they'll gather here by the hundreds on wednesday their voices will be heard but where the change comes will be another thing. richard feldman is regional political director of the national rifle association he's joining us now on skype from boston thank you very much indeed for your time so-called stocks merely adapt to the capability of a weapon and yet it needs an individual to actually pull the trigger do you think that donald trump's latest move misses the point. well it does it's not even focusing on the problem that occurred last week in parkland which was that a deranged individual was able to access guns and take them to a school and commit this terrible atrocity how much as gun control in the u.s. an issue of legality and how much of it is an issue of enforcement or lack of it

well it's it's a complicated issue in the united states because about half the population little less than half own guns but half the populations is the gun as an individual civil right to own it the people some of the people on the other side kind of who pooh the individual right of a gun and think of it more as a privilege that can be denied if somebody misuses the privilege well we can deny honored twenty million people that don't misuse the gun their privilege to own it of course it's not a privilege under american law it's a right in the supreme court of the united states as stated very clearly in convincingly it has a right to an end and in your own home i can understand why it's tough to track

weapons which are bought by criminals but speaking as somebody who has had such an in an involvement in the rights to own weapons in the united states why do you think it's so hard for the u.s. police in the security forces to be able to to make sure the weapons bought legally do end up in the hands of people responsible enough to own them. in the case of the shooter last week in florida he had gone through a background check i think this identifies the problem. our background check system is only as good as the information we put into it and despite the fact that neighbors and friends were concerned that he had made some very bizarre comments online about what he was going to do the f.b.i. didn't investigate i think there's a better alternative in addition to having the police investigate

a what we should do in this instance is start a firearm protect gun protective orders so that if your friends family people who know you say this person's really gone off the deep end and they're making a very strange and scary statements go into a judge and say we'd like to have this individual have the gun to remove from them temporarily. they can go on the nics watch list and they couldn't buy a new gun during that time period and the guns could be taken from them now there are lots of americans that see this is potentially scary so they would say well gee if anybody doesn't like me they can just say i'm crazy and i made a threat now it's got to go a lot deeper than that and in this particular instance i think we could have done a much better job keeping the gun away from the shooter that's what we failed it

had nothing to do with bump stocks and banning a particular brand of gun isn't going to change the outcome so though use a different brand of gun that's like saying you know chevrolets are used in drive by shootings so if we ban chevrolets well in drive by shootings well you might in the mid with chevrolets people use the words and lexus and other cars richard allen solved the problem you should read it in richard feldman i apologize for interrupting i'm afraid time is against us but thank you very much indeed for your time we appreciate it thanks so much palestinian leader mahmoud abbas has proposed a new international peace summit with israel that rules out the united states as the chief broker in an address to the u.n. security council said palestinians had lost faith in the u.s. government's ability to mediate abandoning a policy which would last for twenty five years as it is diplomatic editor james

bays reports from the headquarters of the un. president abbas's presence here was rare and carefully calculated normally his ambassador attends this monthly meeting he came himself to express his displeasure at the trumpet ministration he suggested its decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital and to cut funding to the un agency that helps palestinians disqualified it from leading peace efforts instead he proposed a new approach very early on. i would call for the convening of an international peace conference by mid two thousand and eighteen based on international law and relevant un resolutions with broad international participation including the two concerned parties and regional and international stakeholders present a bias left immediately after his speech nothing unusual there in terms of un protocol he was the only head of state in

a room full of ambassadors and had another engagement to attend it didn't stop the israeli ambassador using it to score a point i expected news that a bass to stay with us and have a dialogue unfortunately is once again running away. the u.s. ambassador came to the meeting accompanied by the two men president trump has tasked with leading negotiations jason greenblatt and his own son in law jared coercion or she said president abbas had a choice the united states stands ready to work with the palestinian leader since our negotiators are sitting right behind me ready to talk but we will not chase after you the choice mr president is yours it was a security council session full of drama and theatrical but the reality is depressingly familiar this meeting in no way brings any close a resolution to
