highlights and condemns what's happened there. there are things your record is going on is the most important and mark just crisis that we have. we have nearly a million g.'s encompasses not in bangladesh no more and with hundreds of thousands of refugees from your other country such a major so it's absolutely and the reason that it's bombed now is because there has been such and they. are what more i mean we did recently even though actually the violence has been going on for decades. report on the report talks about the same thing that you know you have in the past which is that we are what we're seeing in myanmar is not new to the country because the groundwork has been made through decades of discrimination through demonizing through segregation. but would

you say that last year is the events of last year was some kind of a tipping point. absolutely you know we sort of started in august and elated through september and we saw hundreds of thousands of great in a very short period of time they're still coming across the border but this is been a really intense period of violence and period. whereas prior to that it was a very what we call a genocide where refugees were flee or gradual period of time three decades. brian thank you very much for that i do apologize for the quality. of the sound of the connection is not very good but we thank you for your time melanie o'brien joining as via skype. we're going to move on to other news now and at least thirteen people have been killed and civilian government strikes an instant and a warning you may find some of these pictures distressing the strikes targeted

a local market. in the rebel held on claims east of the capital damascus there's been an increase in strikes on the area this week russia has denied any involvement in the air raids the kremlin says the situation in syria leaves much to be desired by the german chancellor angela merkel says she'll push russia to help and the violence and extend more than three hundred people have been killed in syrian government strikes this week merkel is calling it a massacre the u.n. security council is expected to vote on a draft resolution demanding a cease fire and diplomatic editor james bays reports. the security council met to discuss the un's charter the governing document of the world organization in the charter drawn up over seventy years ago gives the council the key role of maintaining peace and security

a job it's miserably failed to do over the last seven years and syria as it met once again divided and impotent some of the worst violence of the war as eastern ghouta was once again on bargain. for and a thousand people that believe. in hell on earth and so my appeal to all those involved. is for any immediate suspension of all war a t.v. tease in eastern guta there were in fact for one day two secretaries general in new york mr good terrorists his preterist says a bang ki-moon had also been invited to speak he also expressed concern at the continued bloodshed in the syrian situation you'd really have must come to an end it's going to be a seventh year in for a come march tenth even the seventh year of doing daughter seven years

a sore many civilian population have been killed there is now a new peace effort the ambassador of sweden hopes to bring a new draft resolution to a vote in the council in the coming days we're asking for a cessation of hostilities for thirty days throughout syria throughout syria forty or forty eight hours after that access for weekly u.n. humanitarian and convoys aid aid convoys to. areas in need particularly urgent busy areas russia had blocked previous efforts to get a resolution on a cease fire in eastern guta facing mounting criticism and bassa vasoline the benzine has now himself called for a security council meeting on the situation on thursday the charter which the un has actually been discussing is in effect the constitution of the world body it begins we the peoples of the united nations determined to save succeeding

generations from the scourge of war now compare those words to the pictures from eastern guta history is bound to judge but in recent days and over the past seven years the u.n. has failed the people of syria james plays al-jazeera at the united nations. now kurdish fighters said. hundreds of pro syrian government functions have been deployed me a fleeing obstat that's not enough to stop the turkish advance on the kurdish held area turkish backed fighters have been advancing on the city is part of operation all of branch that was launched last month occurred to ask the syrian government to send forces to help defend the city well let's bring in a solid than job it has in the turkish city of gazi on tech near the border with syria so what more are you hearing about what's happening in nothing asama. elizabeth as you just said by p. g. have come out with

a statement which feels as if they have been disappointed by the response that they've gotten from the syrian government which said that it will come out and support them they say that syrian government is not doing enough to respond to the threat they're facing by the turkish government and the syrian government does do more to protect its own territory if you remember in the last few days the syrian government said it will be sending help but will not be its all troops but it will be the militias that it supports that would come in to help these fighters and when these militias try to enter the city of are free and they were met with artillery fire by the turkish government and also on the diplomatic front the president of turkey rather failure of the gun spoke to the presidents of iran and russia and the whole to disadvantage but some of these fighters have come into the city of often and have been deployed in the front but as the spokesman for the ip the the kurdish militia which always does that give up or he say that it is not enough on the turkish rugs we've heard various statements from turkish leaders today saying that

they do not want this operation all of brad to just be continuing since last month to go on forever but they see that they will continue it for how long it takes to achieve their objectives which according to them is getting rid of all of the border you have between turkey and syria for d.c. as terrorists and they see the kurds the white b.g. as an existential threat a sauna and certainly a very complicated picture would these pro syrian government militia fighters going in to help the kurds who are the type who the turks are fighting what is the potential here for clashes and still further escalation. well there is that possibility and that's why we saw the hurried diplomatic activity resort the statements coming from the syrian government after these phone conversations between world leaders who have influence in syria that they will not be sending their own troops so they minimize the effect that there will be direct confrontation between the two armies of turkey and syria but it is

a war of proxies in syria and in northern syria there is a battle for control. left and they want to go and each one of these problems wants to go in and compete for influence and control and that is why they would be they would be using your own proxies in syria for the syrian government for instance is using has below another fight is it these militias which are operating in nearby towns and villages we went to there and on turkey's behalf the is this free syrian army these arab fighters there are pro democracy. rebels who have been fighting the case trying to get more and more control dried besiege the city so it is unlikely that we'll see a confrontation between the two armies of turkey and syria but it is like you said a complicated war and it is being fought with proxies write a sonnet thank you very much for that and now that's a sign of a job made with the latest from gaza on ten. the rafa border crossing between egypt and gaza has closed just

a day after it was reopened people on waiting lists to leave gaza were allowed to pass through on wednesday many who left seeking medical care that's unavailable in the palestinian territory that's been under israeli blockade since two thousand and seven is expected to be opened for four days but it's closed again today. police in nigeria say dozens of schoolgirls of feared missing after an attack by boko haram fighters on the village in your day stage there are conflicting reports about the situation and the number who are unaccounted for in two thousand and fourteen and more than two hundred seventy schoolgirls from the town of chip. ozment address has more from either getting. there are conflicting numbers as to how many girls have been taken initial reports say none of the girls were taken the government would neither deny of or confirm that they have been taken but initial reports say most of them scaled through the fence school zones and run into the

bushes and some of them have started coming back and then later on the over state government issued a statement saying that there was at least fifty students who have been declared missing after an initial head count proved that there were ninety four students missing the locals say some parents have reported to the school authorities that their daughters are back home safely now. hours after the obviously government issued the statement it also came out with another statement saying that many of the ghose who are missing have been recovered and rescued by the nigerian military and some of them have been undergoing medical treatment in hospital in your base state so it's difficult to ascertain how many have been actually abducted as the government was saying all as the people was claiming and how many have been saved but reports say that seventy four people seventy four students may have been rescued by the nigerian army and at least two have been pronounced dead or there

are dead bodies have been recovered now this is coming at a time when the nigerian military is gaining momentum in its fight against boko haram remember a few weeks ago launched operations in forests broke what i suspected to be hiding out and they chased them in some of these for it's now operations it's also operations are also going to be concentrated in the like chad region of northeastern nigeria. event to more head on the news al including u.s. citizens a want to stay away after a civil side attack a target the embassy in montenegro. a setback for the vatican's investigation into sex abuse by a paedophile priest in chile and skiing out of the gates and into retirement but it's a disappointing end to the salon populations korea job will have the details and school. students and families affected by florida's deadly school shooting have shared

guns we will continue to try to get gun legislation until congress listens to what the white house was. trump said during his meeting with shooting survivors that this was no longer the time for just talk as in the past but elected by a pro-gun base and backed by the powerful gun lobby it remains to be seen just health far trouble go to bring meaningful reform heidi joe castro al-jazeera washington one of the florida county last week's shooting happened to deputy sheriffs have been told to carry by falls at schools the state has at the center of an unprecedented student mobilization against gun violence on wednesday thousands of teenagers gathered outside the republican controlled legislature and tallahassee to demand change and a gallic of a poll. the survivors of last week's school shooting in parkland would not alone when they came to florida state capital chants of noble guns and never again rang

others a turning them into authorities but on wednesday florida's politicians rejected a bill that would have banned assault rifles an indication of just how challenging any change will be that person who died because of an i am fifteen well you know it was. you because you sat yesterday you had a chance to stop them and you took that chance the way i was there i don't like your style of mind. heart but if that you calculate my. background checks and better mental health screening a widely supported by the u.s. public that's the voices of children that may make a difference they have to understand that this is really affected everyone not just us the kids in the school it's affected the whole community and they need to listen to us and we're we're smart we can we can talk ourselves we're not just children we

can you know we can make a difference what you have here is a new generation of voices determined to make themselves heard and right now the world is listening but any change lays firmly at the doorsteps of politicians the next move is theirs and the expectations are perhaps higher than they've ever been and gallacher al-jazeera tallahassee florida. now there's been a suicide attack of the united states and the say in montenegro's capital the attacker threw an explosive device before blowing himself up outside. the building and. the embassy is warning us citizens to stay away until further notice melissa is joining us live from outside the embassy now and do we have any more information about the attack of melissa. still a lot to confirm from the state authorities all we know if we know for sure that it was a male who last night twelve thirty minutes after midnight threw

a sex abuse scandal as that's put more pressure on the vatican it is already facing accusations of trying to protect priests and not listening to victims are lashing america editor newman reports from the capital of santiago. hours before he was taken to hospital for emergency gall bladder operation the vatican's most experienced sex crimes investigator explained the high profile mission that brought him to chile. francis and sent me to collect useful information concerning. this ship of. he was referring to this accused of covering up six abuses committed by chile's most notorious pedophile priest the well documented abuses took place in the seminary of the church that you see behind me and it was the pope's stubborn defense of bishop during his recent trip here to chile that unleashed widespread criticism that his promise of zero tolerance of abuses in the

church was a mere public relations exercise under pressure to address the worst crisis of his papacy the pope dispatched his team of investigators to hear testimonies from those whom just weeks earlier he had accused of slander. among them sex abuse survivor one hamilton. it's hard time that the dirt hidden under the rug comes out by may. with the archbishop was respectful whatever happens the vatican will know the truth of what goes on in chile over the outcome ultimately depends on the pope a spanish priest to accompany the vatican's chief investigator has taken over the interviews while the archbishop recovers wednesday afternoon he heard testimonies from three parishioners a priest and a deacon from asada know the city where the pope appointed bishop biros despite widespread protests following the persona given up of but we want to tell others who also want to testify that we are confident that despite the archbishop's

illness the investigation will continue with full guarantees of independence from chile as complicit church hierarchy and therefore in chile some eighty priests have been accused of sexual abuse of minors according to the american n.-g. o. bishop accountability the question many are asking now is whether this week's ongoing investigation is simply papal damage control or does it signal a new more convincing chapter in the catholic church's purported fight against ongoing clerical sex abuse you see in human i'll just sent out. in a few moments we'll have the weather with rob but still ahead on the news hour why african refugees detained as raining cats have gone on hunger strike. and from the refugee to vi page the story of one very special korean man. and face his bosses on a tour of africa joe pass more in support. from

the waves of the south. to the contours of the east. out of the weather stuck in the us at least in some parts the us when from the satellite picture you can see what just appears to be a master class moving in this direction the thing is that's just one pulse after many to the east has been very warm in new york we've seen temperatures hit twenty six and that's record high for february more like a summer's day but that's just that's not just new york it's the eastern side and you can see that there are a couple of fronts that make a difference so this is the warm air this is very much not the way it's winter still exists in other parts of the u.s. now the picture unfortunately underneath this slowly warming trend means that where it was cold this is new york state and ontario in canada is that the ice jams the melting rivers are just stop rivers flowing the ice is melting up the rivers not

frozen but there was going to go somewhere so this is a big plus for potential you add to that the amount of rain that's falling out of the sky and there is a fair amount and this is not going to go away any time soon say new york state northeast corner of the u.s. it won't be alone the ohio valley will also be affected and that's because not ending said there is cold on the other side which i have to say that we shouldn't last laugh other people's misfortunes but this is what happens when it rains and it's freezing oklahoma. the weather sponsored by the time race. five countries. four days. three thousand kilometer ends. two generations. one by. syrian

good to have you with us on the al-jazeera news hour these are our top stories amnesty international report on global human vi it says two thousand and seventeen was one of the darkest years in recent history the report held conditions of one hundred and fifty nine countries seven parties and myanmar have created the worst human rights crisis in decades and southeast asia. the un security council is expected to vote on a draft resolution in the coming days demanding a cease fire and the rebel held serbian on clay both east and more than three hundred people have been killed in government strikes this week russia has denied any involvement. and police in nigeria say dozens of schoolgirls are feared missing after an attack by boko haram fighters on village and you know they state there are conflicting reports about the situation and the number who are accounted for in two

thousand and fourteen that all abducted more than two hundred and seventy girls from the town halls chibok. we're going to get more on our top story now on that and the city international why it's report well since the two thousand and eight financial crisis the governments across the world have tried to cut spending to reduce debt the process known as austerity now and the supernational is calling austerity a human rights issue and it's your report that says such measures are restricting people's economic and social rights we're going to get more on this we're joined by and paid for director at research at policy research in my macroeconomics all prime that's a group seeking and i. alternative vision to mainstream economics and she's joining us live from london it's very good to have you with us on al-jazeera so as we mentioned this report talks about austerity as a human rights issue because it says it affects people's access to things like you know everything from education health care housing social security economic social

riots what's been the cost of austerity. well the cost has been you know as you've just said to the lack of access to basic rights for health and education and so on and this is a case not just in europe but across the world actually but i mean although i admire. amnesty international for putting a stereotype front and center the report is quite thin on the economic aspects of it the fact of the matter is that what has happened is that we have found that self regulating markets have moved from the national context to the international context beyond if you like the regulation of governments and so we have globalization and that has been responsible for writing levels of inequality rising levels of unemployment or in secure employment and above all for periodic financial crises which have been catastrophic for people and which have resulted in government deficits. so you know the fact of the matter is that we need to

understand austerity and the crisis that's now arising within so-called liberal stadia. that finding themselves buckling under the pressure of globalization we need to be identifying the problem and the problem is this detachment of markets from if you like the oversight of democratic government and why do you think then that governments and institutions and especially you know in the context of globalization that we're talking about international monetary institutions like the i.m.f. insist on those policies when they themselves say that they are warranted that they don't facilitate the sort of economic growth needed that austerity is supposed to be fighting. yes you know the problem is that you know all of our institutions including our democratic institutions our governments and as you say the washington

based and you are being sacrificed if you like in the service of this globalization in the service of this these international financial markets which are beyond if you like scrutiny by people and by their representatives in parliament and people are reacting to this they're demanding to be protected from from these market forces which is stripping them of jobs right the raising inequality making them feel more insecure making it hard for the children to go to university making it hard to find a roof over their heads and so that they want now strong powerful thora tarion governments if you like to protect them against the market forces so what globalization is doing is destabilizing the very institutions that governments are to uphold and protect and undermining many of those institutions and that's an actual reaction it's not a very pleasant reaction we've seen in europe it's a very reactionary action often to these market forces but it is people demanding

to be protected from this thing that's beyond the control of the government the report does make some suggestions like a universal basic income and also doing things like you know addressing the trillions of dollars that are going missing essentially because of tax evasion i mean what do you make of those sorts of suggestions. that's globalization the fact is globalization is about the free movement of capital across the world the mobility of capital and those who own capital the one percent if you like should be free to move it wherever they like and avoid taxation and avoid their obligations they come to london for example and enjoy our safe streets and our national health service and our police service which protects them and gives them security and stability without necessarily paying taxes for that of course. do but many don't and this deep resentment about this if i have any comment on the international

report is that they don't explore if you like sufficiently. the real triggers and forces behind this. increase nationalism this increased reaction of your life and also the impact of that the economic impact of that on human rights yeah well they did say that they are going to release a more detailed report on this in a few months time we will have to leave it there for now though mr ford is great to get your thoughts your insights your analysis on this and petty for joining us live from london thank you. now african refugee and israel's hallmark detention center have gone on hunger strike in protest against the imprisonment of seven ever trains they refused to leave the country where you're going to be later. on the man of the first to be jailed under new deportation scheme many of the thirty seven thousand african refugees and israel have been given three months to

take up a cash offer to leave for wander or face indefinite time in jail or burn a smith has more from tel aviv. the hardest jobs to fill in israel's restaurant industry. people like dhaka who walked from darfur in sudan to israel eight years ago we go to the situation there was very difficult for us to see death every day i saw the death of my father with my own eyes you can't go back from here there's no way back no return but tom is in israel illegally now he faces deportation his boss says those refugees who work for him have a strong work ethic making them worth the extra taxes he has to pay for hiring normally israeli stuff i mean it's not something that you can say well. to a manager of the hotel on. is this simply don't want to pay the local workers and that's why they are willing to hire the migrant starts that's

a false but that's that's a false assumption because you're paying more and once there we leave you will be left with no walker and no one to not want to do those jobs thirty seven thousand africans are being offered three and a half thousand dollars on a one way ticket to an unspecified country in africa many live here in the working class suburbs of southern television pressure on the right wing government from local israelis and its nationalist base encourage the deportations but it's prompting a backlash in a country other israelis see as founded as a refuge for jews fleeing persecution a group of holocaust survivors has written to prime minister benjamin netanyahu asking him not to deport the migrants the anti-defamation league in the u.s. says israel should reconsider its plans citing jewish values and refugee heritage netanyahu says that israel does accept refugees and the people facing deportation are those who are illegal economic migrants eleven asylum requests have been

accepted by the government out of about fifteen thousand that have been submitted in the e.u. by comparison around sixty percent of applications are approved at the very least we need to be as open as other countries which we haven't been i think for a lot of people as you said this speaks very deeply to their personal and family history it does for me as well but i think beyond that this is this is a human rights issue that we all have to fight against and make sure it doesn't happen but still opinion polls suggest seventy percent of israel's jewish population agrees with the deportation program. those who don't take up the cash and take it off the face jail says he prefers but then being sent back to africa bernard smith al jazeera television. israeli media is reporting that a former aide of prime minister benjamin netanyahu may testify against him in a corruption case. but as

a former director of the communications ministry he was arrested on sunday by police looking into government benefits that will often to the telecoms giant investigators say there's sufficient evidence to indict netanyahu for bribery forward and breach of public trust. to south africa now where severe water restrictions appear to be working in cape town locals have and themselves an extra few months for the city still risks becoming the first major metropolis to run out of water because of years of drought and of rising population shell about us reports. as the sun rises over to vassar's kloof dam cape town's main water resource has never been so low in january south africans were warned days iraq would come on april twelfth the day cape town would run dry but that prophecy looks unlikely to come true. the water restrictions appear to be working resistance are sticking to the daily limit of fifty liters per person per day deemed the

minimum needed for survival business owners are changing the way they operate south africans have nudged a zero out another three months to july we've made it fit in trying to use as little as possible washing up seeing some really really we don't refill them often we use it consciously and mindfully. one entrepreneur has opened an eco friendly car wash swapping water for a chemical that can remove. the cost of wasted water will not be tolerated police officers visited car washes in cape town on wednesday and caught a live and using municipal water they were all slept with two hundred fifty dollars fines others a war about how costly the crisis could be to their bottom line the best part of it is i might just need to stop i need to think about that very i want to prepare more work for people but if that happens it's going to be out of my

hands and. risible haven't been full for more than three years because of an injury and drought now the city is digging into alternative options like the aquifers that live in the thirty of us kloof table mountain and hundreds of kilometers up the west coast there's huge access that often or any of the market. and extracting water from the well but. they've also been helped by. releasing ten billion liters of water from private reserves for the public to use. four million people just need to maintain restrictions until winter when rain will hopefully arrive to avoid becoming the world's first city to turn off the temps. al-jazeera to head on the news that they finished last in the. bobsled team still to be the legacy that's just ahead in sport with

i realized there was a something tragic which every person had inside which was linked to the nuclear tests but also to the grand scale of. colonisation they had suffered and many people spoke about having a sense of shame of having been complicit in the fast that happened here which broke a traditional culture. that feeling of a threatened culture is present in the film three thousand which profiles the in which population of north america using the black and white of yesteryear to contrast with the vivid colors of today it's a cinematic chronicle of the people and is the work of emerging director jack she told me why she made the film we talk a lot about especially in cattle right now we talk a lot about colonization and i thought. well for a lot of reasons i thought it would be. important to have like

lawyers or whatever can we be artist and i think that this is something that can really inspire women to kind of go their own way and actually figure out what is that they want to do and actually do it now favors president jenny has been on a tour of africa who be stopping in tanzania on thursday football's world governing body and some of their top officials are meeting with leaders of the continent's football associations in a series of summits joining me now on skype from ghana is african football journalist gary al smith gary these summits infantino his way to show that he's embracing africa unlike sepp blatter of course how are they going down with african football bosses. well. as always been seen as a friend of africa he just treated just this morning he is fully behind america before the twenty twenty six world cup which will be seen as a major coup and interestingly he's put in that tweet also a reminder that in two thousand and two hundred twenty ten people rejected the option to co-host which is a subtle way of seeing the north american bid it's not what people should go for

but then again it's a blotter he doesn't have a read in each of these days so you can't take it too seriously can you well exactly and you know infantino is really trying to get away from that old fifo he's trying to put a stamp on on this new fee for the he's bringing and but he's been holding these summits how much of a tangible difference are they having on the game in africa well jan is a smart politician and he knows that africa has fifty four fifty five and so what he seeks to do is to decentralize that we're not fee for asking viewing africa i similarly think body so he's had one in mauritania where it was this weekend he raised a lot of issues that you know a lot of the african f.a.'s would like to hear terms of women's football in terms of youth development and so on he stopped short of name in specifics but i do think that the people emerged in nigeria a couple of days ago or those in tanzania mourning too much because if you are president it is in town and that's what matters and this is real appetite for

africa to return to the world stage of course i've only posted the world cup once before we've got five months to go until that decision on twenty twenty six how is morocco has been looking. market is going to look it is looking good i mean the other thing that people have been asking is if gianni will endorse the american media he wouldn't do that because of i mean obviously you know the corruption allegations that are popping with. qatar and so on but i think that they were going to be it is getting a lot of traction b.c. they have all the bits from africa they have all the bits from all the islamic and arab countries and of course and with. ramping up its rhetoric against immigration and all that i think governor rick was going to get a lot of sympathy votes from our own they were all right gary l. smith thank you very much for your point of view that and a serious point for now i'll have more later elizabeth thank you very much joe we are going to stick with the olympics though because at the opening ceremony a few special volunteers handpicked by the south korean government set alongside
