a week in the bombardment of syria's eastern. time we need it desperately but russia blocks those efforts by the un security council to call for thirty days across the country. plus mixed messages from government about missing schoolgirls after monday's attack. and the new campaign that's underway to make antarctic waters the largest protected area. has been under siege by syrian government forces for five years but the last five days have been the worst so far officer in the rebel held east and near the capital damascus relentless bombardment killed dozens more bringing the number of dead to

more than four hundred more than a thousand people have been injured the military has dropped leaflets over the area urging residents to leave and calling on opposition fighters to hand themselves. meanwhile the un security council is struggling to possible solution on a cease fire. into the area it's facing opposition from russia which claims information from the ground in east to good has been fabricated by the syrian opposition brings more on that in just a moment but first. reports on a. good look at the thank you thanks. it was the smallest coffins the heaviest and besieged there are dozens every day for parents saying goodbye to little children is not easy but almost every family has lost someone the number of dead is so high that trenches are being dug for quick burials thank you people linger outside for too long they risk becoming victims of the next

bombing. living rooms in offices are no makeshift morgues. for those who survived the attacks medical facilities are not available. doctors without borders says thirteen hospitals have been hit in three days. since sunday the syrian government and its allies have stepped up their strikes and seems to be converging on the fence. supposed to be blown off or deescalation zones agreed upon by russia iran and turkey but the syrian government says it stopped getting what it called dentists in an area home to four hundred thousand people and russia denies its involved in the relentless one bottle of civilians. the situation really leaves much to be decided well as you know the responsibility for the situation in east rests with those who support the terrorists tunnels like these have been crucial for rebels who have stopped multiple attempts to storm the eastern front in the past get off numbered and their supplies have been cut off but the residents say

they will not surrender without a fight each month. or capabilities a week but god willing we will deal with this the regime will lose again we face similar attacks and it didn't fall and now again we will survive this besieged city and say none of the words from people in power have done much to protect them. messages for help from eastern who have been nonstop street after street there are bodies and parents have been trying to pull their children out of the rubble the united nation calls it hell on earth for besieged people in eastern ghouta who feel abandoned by the outside world they might as well be living on another planet some of the job as they are. the united nations humanitarian chief has been urging the security council to order a desperate is to deliver food and medicine to her but russia has been downplaying the situation automatic as reports from the u.n.

as people in eastern continued to die in the security council they continue to argue more words of division and no sign of desperately needed action the regime wants to keep bombing and gassing these four hundred thousand people and the assad regime is counting on russia to make sure the security council is unable to stop their suffering there's really no good use of your time is right to discuss frankly what is occurring around the mask a suburb the massive psychosis in global media outlets in coordination disseminating in recent days the same rumors this in no way do anything to help improve an understanding of the situation he said a false narrative was being presented to taint the reputation of his country this despite the fact he'd heard the un's top humanitarian official detail exactly what was being inflicted on eastern ghouta. airstrikes mortars rockets barrel

bombs custom emissions chemical weapons. suicide bombs snipers double tap attacks on civilians and the essential infrastructure lated and invading hospitals and schools outside the un the campaign group highlighted the scale of the seven year long conflict and tried to shame the security council into action inside the building here in the corridor laws there were frantic negotiations to try and bring a draft resolution calling for a thirty day cease fire to a vote obama is about the only thing for. this game went into a medical building those eleven by the time they gathered in the security council chamber it was clear russia wanted amendments and wouldn't let the resolution pass in its current form over the past two years with russian military help the syrian

government represented by ambassador bashar jaffrey has turned the tide of the war now using russian diplomatic gade the assad regime wants finally to win it whatever it takes including civilian casualties and outright lies it do you to know that you are killing civilians at least include not only when we are saying that many of these fake in us are staged by you. by your cousins. by you know by the terrorists by the syrian moderate opposition there was a sense of exasperated and despair that we summed up by sweden's ambassador i do think that we are tested today not just as representing our countries but as human beings and that is a massive responsibility a test for now they have failed james pays zero the united nations. that has him is the director of the center for middle east studies joins us live

from denver via skype good to have you with us why is russia downplaying the situation. or because it's committing war crimes and it's backing it has committed war crimes it has military aims that it is seeking to east and still it's trying to do everything and to prevent international action to stop it realizing this war has been very effective in doing circles it's going to veto the u.n. security council the swedish ambassador would not be pushing for a vote on this latest resolution to allow humanitarian access to be pushing for that vote to take place on friday but do you think it will go ahead. i suspect it probably will and if russia doesn't get its way it will veto the resolution just as it has in the past it's important to point out to your viewers that russia has vetoed eleven un security council resolutions almost half of those resolutions

dealt with an investigation into assad's use of sarin gas so the fact that russia does not seek and is not willing to tolerate an investigation into use of chemical weapons gives you a sense of you know what's going on in moscow and what the you know what the world view of the of the putin regime really is really stand for and if but that has made them is going for a cease fire is calling for humanitarian access is not trying to take you to point the finger at this time so what is it that russia's unhappy about well i think russia does not want to see any sort of humanitarian aid go into east who wants to conquer that enclave. and so russia wants to continue its bombing campaign it is hoping to you know conquer the enclave just that just as they played a critical role in conquering you know aleppo roughly a year ago but i want to point out it's important that sort of you know precedent here four years ago russia voted for a u.n.

security council resolution twenty one thirty nine that affected to be called for what we're talking about right now humanitarian access respecting medical facilities allowing you know civilians to flee and so why hasn't russia you know lived up to its resolution that signed on to four years ago i think this is largely political theater and until and unless the international community gets a very serious with russia i don't think they're going to stop their their war crimes and it's a bit serious how i mean this it will come back to this question time and time again what else can be done. well let me give you an example i think what would send a clear message to run through. would be if. major countries around the world particularly in the west were to say that as of tomorrow no aeroflot airlock and in any western city as long as russia is bombing hospitals and civilians in east air flight airline is fifty one percent state owned something along those lines would send a clear message to florida you're simply passing u.n.

resolutions that russia will either veto or no more has been tried in the past and so they think that will make any difference tomorrow in the coming days is really wishful thinking that i seem eager to get your thoughts thanks for joining us there from the. get. the iranian deputy foreign minister has told out of there that terror on could withdraw from the landmark twenty fifty nuclear deal if there is no economic benefit from it something that could happen if the u.s. pulls out i think our position is very clear really meaning that the as long as we can benefit from it. if the u.s. walk away can be a still benefit from the deal it's a big question for the time being we are not convinced that the deal can survive and you don't can benefit from that the it's very much depends on the other participants to the c.p.o. way and. as i said. for the time being i

don't think. that they can deliver the deal without the u.s. this is important u.s. president donald trump is not backing away from his controversial proposal to arm some teachers and suggested they should be paid a bonus is under intense public pressure to pass tougher gun laws following last week's mass shooting at a florida high school white house correspondent kelly halkett has more. arming teachers in the classroom is a controversy ally dhea being promoted by president donald trump prevent school shootings if you harden the sites you're not going to have this problem because these guys who lack courage will never go into those schools he says he wants to encourage educators to become comfortable with the gun even offering bonuses for those with firearms skills i want my schools protected just like my banks are protected trump made the comments on thursday at another white house listening

session following the shootings in parkland florida that left seventeen people dead most of them teenagers. since the school shooting fellow students have made their voices heard and brought pressure to bear on trump and other right of center politicians to tighten gun restrictions arming teachers is not what they have in mind that's their plan anyway mark barden lost his son in two thousand and twelve when the sandy hook school shooting school teachers have more than enough responsibilities right now then to have to have the awesome responsibility of lethal force to take a life on twitter trump attempted to clarify his position and floated other proposals such as background checks for those buying a gun raising the legal purchasing age to twenty one and again suggesting the end of the sale of so-called bump stocks that increase a weapons fire power not zero but some of those ideas are at odds with the biggest

gun rights group in the united states with national rifle association or n.r.a. pushing back against any effort to limit gun ownership the elites don't care not one whit about america's school system for them it's not a safety issue it's a political issue. they care more about control and more of gun owners agree they were right to protect ourselves protect our children so if they're properly trained why not be able to use that i think that it would send a message across the nation that we are taking this into our own hands we're fighting back and we will be the first line of defense and while there is support for at least some of donald trump's proposals even the most basic limits on gun ownership will require congressional approval and accomplishment that in the past has proved difficult can really help get al-jazeera washington. brazil's military

has raided reduced narrow personnel to the senate side of the creek putting the army in charge of the city's security riot broke out of the prison on sunday with presents complaining of overcrowding and says and takeover rhea's policing as part of a security intervention to restore law and order of brazil's federal government hopes the move will curb violence driven by drug gangs which they say have taken over the city i can live now to give us on the he's in rio de janeiro for us what signs all of the military is now in charge. well over the last couple days since this decree has gone into effect we've seen the military out on the streets in some areas as you mentioned they were sent to a prison to help quell a prison riot we also see him on some highways doing some patrols and they also did a couple operations into foot bellows or shanty towns here as well but beyond that

on a normal night like tonight here in the neighborhood of copacabana a neighborhood for example we're at all signs are pretty normal we haven't seen any military really anywhere in this city. on this day at all really and it's really an indication of what role will the military play when will they be out on the streets when will they not be out on the streets what are they going to be doing those are the questions that a lot of people have here but make no mistake about it this is a city that is militarized we've seen the military here in rio before during the olympics and the world cup they were held here but they were had just a supporting role to the police now it's different now the military is in control and the police while they're still patrolling they are subordinate to the military and the top security official in this state is now an army general this is the first time that the military has taken control over a city like this since the military dictatorship era in brazil india and that was

one thousand nine hundred eighty eight so it's very significant times here in the city and state indeed and all people happy about this. will tell you we talked to several people here just regular people in the streets and we asked them that very question everybody agrees on one thing here and that's that crime has gotten way out of control from drug gangs and also militias as well everyone agrees on that and they say the police have not been able to contain it were people disagree is when you asked him is the mill. terry going to help resolve the crime issue some people say they're so fed up with crime here that it's gotten so bad that they're willing to give the military a chance other people are saying the military is not suited to do police work and that their military can't deal with the underlying issues of inequality. or this city is is hampered with and so the military is going to do nothing to help in that way and maybe even hurt things because they're not trained to do policing that

they're having to do now so they're very much a mixed bag on how people feel about the military on the street but again everyone does agree that something has to be done ok. reporting from a just mary but people still ahead here on the news hour including south africa's food coming under scrutiny after the number of deaths from this styria more than doubles plus we're getting a lot of. refugees stage a hunger strike in an israeli detention center to protest the deportation order. and to support a two decade wait for them pick gold finally ends for the u.s. women's hockey team. more charges have been filed against former aides to the trump presidential

campaign gates by special counsel robert muller that has to count indictment includes tax on bank fraud charges in october manifolds and gates were charged with conspiracy to lauda money both have pleaded not guilty well it is investigating possible collusion between the campaign and russia during the two thousand and sixteen election you can update now from castrations life for some washington d.c. so he can explain these new charges for us. hey laura yes so it is a little bit complicated legally these are thirty two charges that. are in addition to the twelve that initially were filed in october and it is important to mention that out of all of these charges against both paul mann afford and rick gave none of them directly implicate trump or his campaign the charges filed today mainly centered around filing false income tax returns and money laundering in fact

laundering thirty million dollars of income that came from foreign sources including a russian linked political party in ukraine now the fact that trump was not mentioned at all in today's filing certainly is a point that the president will likely into size when he responds to the questions that will surely come out of this indictment but what this truly is significant is that the special counsel appointed to investigate the wider russia topic robert mueller he is flexing his muscles with these charges and he's showing in intricate detail how much he and his team of investigators have been able to dig up on these close trump associates and so although it does not mention by name is certainly does darken the shadow that is already hanging over this administration and at the very least begs the question of wide trump was allowed to surround himself with

associates who had these darkness' areas dealings in their past ok thanks for that plagues of clearing some of us up from washington d.c. . now a british charity oxfam has been suspended from operating in haiti for two months but in the ongoing controversy over sexual abuse allegations the carbon island's government has temporarily revoked the aid organizations permission to work in the country it follows revelations that staff sexually exploited victims of the earthquake in twenty ten deputy director of the un's children's agency unicef has resigned after complaints about inappropriate behavior in a previous job just in forsyth was the c.e.o. of the u.k. charity save the children until twenty sixteen on he was there three workers complained about inappropriate text messages comments about what young women were wearing says it wasn't aware of the complaints when it appointed for saif

outbreak is still unknown to me the miller has more from johannesburg. in the last year more than nine hundred cases of listeria have been reported in south africa most of those cases have been here in johannesburg listeria is a serious bacterial infection which is spread when people eat contaminated food the most common thing is to be contaminated on pasteurized milk cheese which to goals and processed foods many of those foods can be found in markets just like this one a listeria infection include symptoms like diarrhea and can even lead to meningitis or premature labor in pregnant women the center for communicable diseases is trying to figure out where this disease originated parties have closed poultry adverts where the bug was detected this theory is a treatable disease but the concern is that there isn't enough public awareness and that's contributed to the largest outbreak south africa's ever seen. ten senior

greek politicians including two former prime ministers are facing an investigation into alleged bribes from a swiss drug company comes after a heated nineteen hour debate and vote in parliament pharmaceutical firms allegedly bribed politicians and doctors to raise the price caps on their medicines johnson has more for that. the greek parliament has voted to hold a preliminary investigation into whether there are political responsibilities for two former prime ministers one former finance minister and seven former health and labor ministers over the last fifteen years the thought to have been potentially susceptible to charges of either soliciting or certain gropes money laundering in other words illegally processing the proceeds of those bribes if they did indeed receive them one of the former health ministers and labor

ministers who spoke in his own defense passionately to. he was the man who served as labor minister between two thousand and nine and two thousand and eleven the very beginning of creases economic adjustment program that was the socialist government which started the serious fiscal austerity program that continues to this day and he said he had found health health project that was worth thirteen billion dollars and in his time that was reduced to about eight billion dollars similarly within that budget the pharmaceutical expenditure that he found he said was worth about seven billion dollars and that was reduced by almost so how could it be he said that i received bribes to raise the pharmaceutical expenditures of the state i was doing precisely the opposite similar remarks came from all of the other defendants all of them denying the charges against them many of them saying that they're willing for the investigation to proceed in order to clear. the

investigation may take one of two routes could decide that there are political responsibilities in which case under the great constitution it is parliament which must affectively act as a court of law for these politicians or it may decide that parliament will not involve itself in any further investigation and hand the case back to the traditional authorities where they can pursue the charges against these politicians and former politicians as ordinary citizens. so has half. our movie stars our politicians they're all more protected than our children at school all has a larger. america breaks his silence about the deadly florida school shooting. for and set a goal just one of the west african nations away said economic crisis. and

and again you're watching out who's there has reminder of our top stories this hour the syrian military has dropped leaflets over eastern calling on residents to leave for their own safety and opposition fighters to hand themselves over more than four hundred people have died in the rebel held enclave turn five days of let's. blame the still no agreement at the u.n. on ordering a cease fire aid into the area is facing opposition from russia which is accusing the media of a massive disinfo mason campaign. and brazil's military has carried out security operation as a ridge is no present as part of efforts to restore law and order to the troubled state comes off the senate approved to create authorizing the military to take control of police forces in the states. ok back to one of the main stories now and u.s. president donald trump is not backing away from his controversial proposal to some

teachers and suggested they should be paid a bonus he's under intense public pressure to pass tougher gun laws following last week's mass shooting at a florida high school america's national rifle association call support. it's a bizarre fact that in this country our jewelry stores all over this country are more important than our children our banks our airports our n.b.a. games our n.f.l. games our office buildings our movies stars our politicians they're all more protected than our children at school the same make any sense to anybody. do we really love our money and our celebrities more than we love our children. tim taylor is the current board member of texas gun

sense and she joins us live in austin via skype does it ari chief have a point why are we willing to have armed protection for banks and film cells for example but not schools i'm not willing to treat our schools like prisons i think it's a sad state of affairs that we have to we feel like we need to be sick. protected from guns and all of those situations that they just described quite frankly the reason that we do is because the n.r.a. has made it easier for every american to access the gun apathy firearm and they've made it easier for them for people with mental health issues that doubt firearms so this idea that we have to treat our schools like prisons and have armed guards in a car. like the teachers is is just ludicrous. there is no weapon armed guard and at the school last week and he did not get there in time ok so more teachers

having access to guns new you think would not have stopped this particular incident from happening absolutely not absolutely not i mean there have been other instances where there have they have had teachers armed i think i heard a story today in israel and twelve year old boy was shot by accident when the teacher was cleaning his gun. and more guns do not make it safer. and study after study proves that more guns do not make us safer do you think though that this proposal by trump might get to congress and might pass. no i do not see the congress passing this bill quite frankly they have to fund it and if you're talking about funding critically in the united states we're not funding our schools with our teachers have to buy their own people or cancels and some just drips in some schools were woefully underfunding our schools and the idea the idea that we're going to spend billions of dollars are arming our teachers is just

ludicrous we always think we have to do is make our call for universal background checks and make our database more updated and call for a ban and on and on and an ar fifteen. passed just said that he is willing to push for tighter background checks and lifting the a raising the age limit on buying sussan weapons obviously you think that won't go far enough but is it better than nothing in this current climate anything is better than nothing in this current climate. yes i mean any anything any step in the right directions and a good step. but i believe in universal into we get universal background checks you are really truly not going to say. the gun carnage that we're seeing in the united states ok kim taylor many thanks for taking the time to join us from austin in

texas thank you. global leaders including donald trump she didn't paying undermining human rights that's the warning from the sense that latest report it accuses the leaders of rolling out regressive policies such as trump's controversial travel ban on muslims the report also highlights atrocities including mammals military crackdown on the rangar particle hain has more from washington d.c. . a bleak assessment on the state of human rights in twenty seventeen they will not look back and draw any lessons from this they will look back and they will see that they will all of the drafting of some of the dockers chapters in modern history the forward of the four hundred page report takes aim at specific countries first and foremost me and mar accusing the government of committing crimes against humanity which forced almost seven hundred thousand rohingya muslims to flee it singles out saudi arabia's blockade for creating

does has a massive in a multiplier effect across the world but they want em boredom by the fact that you know being on human rights abandon me human values is something which is acceptable today we asked the white house for a response but didn't hear back as for amnesty international it says it's not all bad out there it sees the rise of hate be met with the rise of a resistance from the u.s. right. going to poland. then this way or two around. which embassy says gives it some hope the just maybe twenty eighteen won't be quite as bleak in so many places paddy calling al-jazeera washington african refugees in israel's hot detention center have gone on hunger strike protesting the imprisonment of seven eritreans who have refused to leave the country. and then the first to be jailed under

a new deportation skein many of the thirty seven thousand african refugees in israel have been given three months to take up a cash offer to leave for rwanda face indefinite jail time but a smith has more from the detention center in israel southern negev desert so israel has started to carry out its threat to jail what it calls illegal african infiltrators who refuse the offer of cash in a one way ticket to a third african country and seven eritreans been taken from the detention center behind me to the jail just on the other side of the road and bodies the fate that awaits thirty seven thousand of the african migrants if they refuse this offer of caution one way ticket home many of the people we spoke to here mainly from eritrea and sudan say they will not take this offer and they are now on hunger strike until israel reverses its policy. they're the hardest jobs to fill in israel's restaurant

industry and they're often done by people like tyler booker who walked from darfur in sudan to israel eight years ago but i got him involved in that for the situation there was very difficult i used to see death every day i saw the death of my father with my own eyes you can't go back from here i would like there's no way back no return but talib 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 staff i mean it's not something that you can. go on to a hotel manager of the hotel owners they simply don't want to local workers and that's why they are willing to or hire them i went starts that's a fourth 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 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 that than being sent back to africa. certainly from the eritrean and sudanese migrants that we've spoken to none of them want to go to african country and that presents an enormous challenge the israeli authorities because if they carry out then they have to find jail space for thirty seven thousand african migrants that want to takes about two thousand so israel would have to embark on some sort of massive jail construction project person in

cities which are potentially going to be the ones that would implement a plan if that is the decision of the court the point to make is that those bringing the case believe the environmentalists believe that diesel engines are a prime cause of elevated levels of dangerous emissions and they say dangerous emissions in the atmosphere also motive industry disagrees it believes with the measures it has brought in is implemented alongside the coalition government are enough not to see a baron brought in the point would then be how could a brown be in for certain cities notably dusseldorf and stuttgart would very much like to be able to introduce a sort of blue badge scheme if they could which would be put on all cars that didn't emit dangerous emissions the question will be whether the court feels now is the time to bring in a kind of decision which would make a barren possible bankruptcy japanese based automotive parts supplier to carter has agreed to
