it's sweat every. zero. hello i'm marianna mozzie this is the news hour live from london coming up after days of wrangling the u.n. security council votes unanimously to call for a thirty day ceasefire in syria. back if. this is more than

five hundred syrians have been killed in a week because government forces attack opposition held eastern ghouta. nigeria's says it's deploying more troops to search for more than one hundred schoolgirls seized by boko haram in northern nigeria. because. of protests across italy as tensions rise in the run up to next weekend's election immigration is a key issue. and i'm tatiana phantasm hall with the sport where history has been made to n.p.r. the czech republic and that cup becomes the fast athlete to win gold in both and snowboarding at a single until. the u.n. security council has unanimously adopted a resolution demanding a thirty day truce in syria to allow aid access it follows days of negotiations at

un over the wording of the document five hundred people have been killed in seven days of syrian government attacks on rebel held east and thousands of people are trapped in on the ground shelters many of which are providing little protection against the syrian and russian rockets and bombs. every minute the council waited on russia the human suffering group getting to a vote became a moral responsibility for everyone but not for russia not for syria not for iran i have to ask why. at least nineteen health facilities have been bombed and sunday's nineteen as they dragged out the negotiation the bombs from assad's fighter jets continued to fall in the three days it took us to adopt this resolution how many mothers lost their kids to the bombing and the shelling.

notebook also and it is a it took us so much time to reach an agreement on the resolution because we didn't support what was in trying to be there for an immediate cessation of hostilities. because as it stood it wasn't possible to achieve this without any concrete agreement from the warring parties in syria who can't arrive at a cease fire. this kind of unrealistic approach will in no way have to address the humanitarian situation in syria. or the syrian ambassador to the united nations accused other members of the security council of backing terrorism. your governments are preventing us from countering terrorism in our territories we didn't go and fight other countries we are combating terrorism on our own territories terrorism but it's supported by the government of your countries in the session on thursday i explained the reality of what is happening in syria the reality of the suffering of civilians as a result of the practices of armed terrorist groups and i stress once again that the syrian government has taken seriously all deescalation initiatives and observe

them. well let's bring out a solid binge of aid and gaziantep on the turkey syria border and we've been reporting on the escalation of military activity we've seen continued fighting in northern syria not far from where you are but also in and around east and over the past week what are people do people have hope that any kind of international initiative will make a difference to their lives. well i just spoke to somebody who has families stranded in eastern. trying to get hold of friends without internet connections it's been very worrying for people who have people stranded inside with them who told me that there is relief that there might be and. but there's also fear fear that the syrian government can use this phase to try and gain as much as

possible before the implementation phase kicks in people inside who have been describing to us the horrendous conditions that they have been living in they cannot venture out because the bombing in the last seven days have been nonstop more than five hundred people have been killed at least hospitals have been taken out and more than two thousand people have been wounded people have been telling us that there is not enough food to eat they can't even treat their own patients and doctors have been saying that they have been running out of medicine for the last five years but now the situation has become critical people have been running from one place to the other trying to find shelter but many of them have been crammed in underground basements. rescuers are responding to cries for help. but. received. in moments of panic the search for children who

disappeared in the debris. and the children call for their father. the civil defense worker says they must hurry to the basement. activists accuse the syrian government and russia for the airstrikes and shelling. of syria's capital damascus has been bombarded specially hard for the last week. the only light these days is from the fires which started after the bombing. where these children prayed in the dark in an underground shelter one of them wants the world to feel their pay her. no food no water every day we sleep on the floor my back hurts we can't bring a pillow from our house if we get out we'll get it don't you know that imagine your children being gone and what do you want me to say ask the world for

safety. the words you have the floors are down the air is humid and it's called underground there are few basements and all the nearly four hundred thousand people on the roofs of our size the way this is call our children didn't eat for two days we can't find anything else we'll feed them this is a male god help us. syrians living in cities abroad have protested in small gatherings they reject that the fight in eastern is against what the government calls terrorists. but the syrian government iran and russia see the civilian deaths and who are fabricated propaganda. what are the next steps that are expected to happen now we have seen attempts a truce and sation of hostilities in the past what will aid agencies the un be trying to do in terms of organizing access and logistics for a deliveries. maria before i come to that is in the

last couple of minutes we've just received at least one fighting group on the ground the. core of the free syrian army says they will affirm their full and serious commitment to the cease fire and they will reserve the legitimate right to self-defense and will respond to any aggression calling on the influential countries to push pressure the russian and the syrian side to implement the full terms of this agreement so already we're beginning to hear some reaction on the ground in after this united nations security council agreement coming back to the question of how will aid agencies respond i spoke to one united nations source who told me that we have always been ready people stand on their rooftops inside who can see the warehouses where the united nations stores food and it's been frustrating for them not to be able to provide this but aid workers on the ground in hooters saying that this is just the first step they have to see how the syrian government how seriously it implements the terms of this agreement will it allow

food and essential medical aid to come in in the past aid convoys have been stopped essential supplies have been taken out and the aid is specially medical aid has not been allowed to enter so there is a lot of trepidation people are cautiously optimistic that there is some sort of movement on the diplomatic front but they're also afraid of the days ahead thank you very much as of engine of age and on the turkey syria border over into money a senior research fellow at the london school of economics joins me in the studio now thanks very much for taking the time to speak to us so after days of wrangling the u.n. finally managed u.n. security council passed this resolution now what we need to see in principle at least is an end to attacks on. an end to the shelling of damascus and then also fighting in northern syria way you have turkey and its

allies on the ground so calm. situation there does any of that sound feasible to you i don't think so i think it's great that this sort of solution was passed and there is a consensus in the security council around without a consensus in the council we don't expect to see a solution in syria but only its own it's not enough they passed many reason before for cease fires nationwide they work for a short period and then they fall apart there are no montreal mechanism for smith mechanism and in the solution there is a reference to monitoring mechanism but it says it builds on the existing mechanism which are the russian turkish new ones but we need the neutral and we need these like the un to be monitoring the violation not somebody who is already part of the conflict what then is the best you can hope for some sort of access or humanitarian aid deliveries for a short period of time until fighting starts again we do we do have hope for improvement for a short period of time but i think it's enough just to wait for short improvement

we need something more durable we do hope that the getting out the most are out of order is going to happen there are only two hundred forty people who solution still gives actually the excuse to attack the areas where there exists which is the excuse the regime was already taken to a pack of water and there are only about two hundred forty members of her buttons that are in the water hundreds of thousands of civilians so the regime can easily take this as an acute excuse to carry on its attacks which is happening right now right after the passing of the resolution what needs to happen to prevent that from from happening because one thing that really did emerge from that u.n. security council meeting was the deep division and polarized polarization that still very much exists of assyria and has vastly different narratives as well you had anecdotes from nikki haley you know the number the indiscriminate use of force an instigator and elsewhere in syria right now on the other hand the syrians and

the russians arguing that they are targeting group. that you know have not been included in any past or present agreements and these are groups that are attacking civilians in places like damascus look it's really complex and what's worse now is that we have two members of the security council exist in syria on the ground the us is also in syria and turns committing violation to the coalition that killed many many civilians also and it's a dark and destroyed iraq so i think there are a lot so for there was also finger pointing in the in the speeches today in the security council and you can see from the text from his allusion that russians insist that russia has to be included in the solution but both now russia and the u.s. will be careful not to clued in in force when we're going to them or want to do can isms because both could be in trouble there both on the ground and no one's hands are. clean of drugs. president mentioned syria in the speech that he gave just the other day and one thing he said was the only reason we're in syria

is because i saw with that defeat i still but now what we see is if anything a ramping up and an escalation of military activity now that i sill has been defeated how much more complicated is this conflict the coming. it's getting only more complicated isis has been defeated tourism has not been defeated the conditions that led to isis are even you know they're still there and the us is not helping a tall actually imprinting stability and legitimacy again to the areas that took isis out of so that we prevent the comeback of isis we need just to make this conflict syria again it's not syrian anymore i mean all the messaging today in the council even the text of resolution it was geopolitical message and it's not about the syrians and when you have the syrian civilians voice to be on the table or worse we will hear and really of the voice of the comfort of the armed conflict think there is not the will of the civilians let me point out but during the last

few days we've seen attacks from the rascals on the water from a lot on the muscles on both this attack as civilians who are dying and those who are committing attacks are not being. touched at told there they're surviving they need the war to survive they need this to continue they would not have no status nor support nothing if the war can't but it's the civilians who are suffering thank you very much from the london school of economics. thank you i mean speech versus. all the stories we're covering i still is claiming to be behind it twin suicide bombings that killed at least six people in yemen southern city of aden the explosions targeted a military camp used by counterterrorism forces as well as the residence of a man's former governor ospital officials say three of the dead us soldiers and three civilians at least forty three others are being treated for the injuries. well now to nigeria where the president is deploying extra soldiers to search for

more than one hundred girls kidnapped from their school in the town of duchy mamadou bihari is called monday's abduction by boko haram a national disaster parents of the missing girls plan to join the bring back our girls campaign which was launched off the book around kidnapped more than two hundred seventy schoolgirls from the town of chip book in two thousand and fourteen many of them is still missing and the address has more now from the capital. the mood is that of shock and anger anger because the nigerian government has failed to properly explain how many kids or how many students have been taken from that college and what exactly happened there now shock in the sense that many people expected nigeria and the security agencies to learn from the mistakes of two thousand and fourteen in trouble when more than two hundred and seventy schools go to school girls have been kidnapped by boko haram more than one hundred of them are still unaccounted for group of activists who've been pushing but i did in government to rescue the girls now we spoke to some of them who expressed shock and

dismay that four years on the nigerian government and the nigerian security services have not learned anything from the war. before it's four years a one hundred twelve people go should be but only two who will come up on tuesday to realize that more schoolgirls were abducted and we're back to square one when many nigerians expected the government to beef up security i don't value will places like schools especially boarding schools in the northeast of nigeria now in the case of she that clearly did not happen and many nigerians will be watching the government closely as a low security agency is to see whether or not these girls are rescued in the next few days or so. the u.n. has removed a police units in the base in south sudan amid allegations of the sexual exploitation of women and a protection of civilians can forty six police officers will call for me while camp and confined to base after the complaints came to light the investigation found

have a ties with america's gun lobby after last week's school shooting. in norway when a wreck or thirty eight from the winter olympics medal of the details from child chang coming up with tatiana and sport. at least twenty six people have been killed in a series of attacks across afghanistan most of them army and al taliban fighters stormed the military outpost in the west where they killed at least twenty soldiers security forces were also targeted and lashkar gah and another attack happened in nearby nada ali and i saw has claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing in kabul tony he has more from the afghan capital. another bloody day in afghanistan three suicide bombings at a large scale taliban attack on an afghan army base the first attack was in kabul at eight thirty on saturday morning the target was intelligence building afghan

intelligence building where people were killed and wounded this was carried out by islamic state they claim responsibility the other attacks were by the taliban there is concern i think especially for the attack in kabul you may remember the large ambulance bomb that was set off in january killing more than one hundred people but after that the afghan president. ghani said there was a new security strategy you've seen on the streets greater numbers of army and police greater defenses but still with this in place islamic state able to strike so that's causing concern and of course the taliban is beefing up their attacks as well is preemptive perhaps for their annual spring offensive which they always launch but there are so many attacks going on now that basically one offensive rolls into another the united nations has released a report showing that the majority of people killed all civilians last year ten

thousand were killed and wounded and it's the weapon of choice now is more often suicide bombs and roadside explosions. the americans are here in force they've beefed up their numbers they're using more aerial power to try and defeat in particular islamic state but so far it doesn't seem to be working and the security strategy certainly has holes in it a rally has been held in tel aviv in support of african migrants and asylum seekers mainly from sudan and eritrea in january the israeli government tell thousands of africans who entered the country illegally that they had three months to leave or face incarceration any risk being deported to uganda or wanda despite having no connection to those countries hairy force that has more. there are thousands of people here on the streets of south tel aviv not just african to silence seekers but also a notably many israelis who are out here to protest against their government's policy of frightening government. infiltrators from african nations

mainly sudan and eritrea with either prison or forced essentially forced deportation to a third country. rwanda well most of the people that we've spoken to who may be in that situation the future they say that they would prefer prison to being sent to a country which isn't theirs which they say they would feel unsafe in one of those people is a man who's been here for ten years an asylum seeker who is from darfur in sudan and his name is thais harun and he joins me now thais just briefly your presence here is because of what happened to you and your family in darfur. and that is i'm . going to say that happened in. those other ninety three going to i started on we run away you know we our houses were van our family this is where you know most of the people work and the men who end up going to that if the majority according to polls of israelis support the government two thirds of his race support the

government's policy on this nonetheless we've seen this big turnout opposed to it and in support of your argument here tonight what is that to fear it looks like to be honest i'd really want to thank the israeli society for coming on our i know that they met us they know that we are not here as migrants we came here because we have a problem on home and they understand that and we are very grateful for the the opportunity we just want the government to see these to see to come and need to be born and to see if it were migrant workers or we are really. vivid you thought looking for safety ok ties thank you very much for joining us and so that's the situation here we have thousands on the streets protesting again. however the process has already begun some people are in prison people have been issued with these deportation notices the israeli government seems determined to press ahead. delta airlines and united airlines are the latest major corporations to seven marketing ties with the

national rifle association major businesses have been distancing themselves from the n.r.a. since it began a campaign against a student led push for tighter gun u.s. gun ownership delta and united say they're no longer offering n.r.a. members discounted rates and will ask the n.r.a. to remove that information from its website carolina is a political reporter with the progressive news web site think progress and joins us live now from washington thanks so much for speaking to us how important is it that you have american companies reacting in a way that basically means that they're taking a side in one of the country's most controversial and divisive issues i think after the parklane shooting last week the energy and the momentum in the united states feels very different than it has after similar recent mass shootings and school shootings part of that activism is because we had teenagers being so

vocal we had victims and survivors speaking out on social media in particular and the fact that this social media energy in activism has translated into major national corporations deciding that they're no longer going to work with the gun lobby is a major of fact and i think that people across the country are are understanding and noticing what a difference. reaching out and being vocal on social media can have. and tell me is this momentum likely to continue could we potentially see a scenario where the gun lobby is abandoned by all its corporate allies. i don't see this momentum and being anytime soon there are still several major corporations that have not yet announced that they are ending their relationships with an array fed ex as one amazon currently streams an array to be on its platform and so people are still being very vocal on social media it remains to be seen what

effect this will have directly on the n.r.a. is lobbying abilities but i think that it has a number of different implications one of which is that people are learning that they can have an impact by just reaching out to a company or maybe to a lawmaker pretty quickly we first reported that united and delta had this relationship with the n.r.a. last night and by first thing in the morning both companies had tweeted that they were and in their relationships so i think just showing people what an impact it can have to be vocal is probably going to have the most lasting impact and tell me how and why this pressure has built on businesses why has the feeling in the emotion in the reaction to the pomp and shooting been different oh perhaps more intense in some ways than she sings we've seen in the past.

like i mentioned before this is the first time that we have big guns and survivors of the shooting who are very well spoken media trained who are young and ambitious and know that their voices have power and they've been speaking out almost immediately they turned their pain after this tragedy into activism and we saw them on t.v. and writing op eds and being vocal on social media within a few hours of the shooting and that energy has been infectious in this country and i think that people are understanding that not only can they go after the gun lobby but also we have elections coming up in november and if they continue to be vocal they can they can really affect policy. but it seems to be that there are limits and. so much further to go in terms of the measures because. well the u.s. constitution and where it stands on this one thing that we haven't been able to see

is any kind of strict gun control legislation. there is but i think you can't discount the fact that for so long in the united states the n.r.a. has been has been perceived as untouchable it's been this humid lobbying organization one of the most powerful political groups in the country and people thought that if a politician accepted money from the n.r.a. and nothing could be done about it nothing could be done to damage the gun lobby is power and we've seen just in this past week that the n.r.a. is not untouchable the gun lobby has had to take down almost their entire member benefits page and now maybe people will rethink joining an organization that's not going to give them any benefits other than. have being very extreme lobbyist speak for them or maybe not even speak for them because the n.r.a. advocates for gun policies that are out of touch with

a lot of american gun owners. all right well thank you very much appreciate getting you on this carolina. progress in washington you know the news hour still to come opposition activists break their release but say dozens of their colleagues remain in prison. alex of the people who fight the economic justice in america. since it was ignited by a civil rights icon. and to fly the flag or knowledge russian athletes await their fate to to fail drug tests at the winter olympics. hello the cold weather is continuing to push its way across europe we look at the

temperature chart we can see the dark blues indicating just how cold that weather is and we could see it pushing its way further towards the west as we head through sunday and into monday but it's not only cold weather we're dealing with across europe at the moment also we've seen a lot of wet weather which has turned to snow it's hit that cold air so this is what it looks like in some parts of croatia at the moment they've certainly had an awful lot of wintery weather there now all of that snow is out of this weather system here and it's continuing to spiral its way across parts of the mediterranean and it's going to stick around as we head through sunday and into monday on the northern edges where we're seeing that snow and then we'll see more of it as we head through monday so monday looking particularly wintery across parts of romania and all the way across to croatia once more further north that while it's that cold air that's the story here minus two is a maximum imbalance and we can't expect the temperatures in berlin to get above freezing for a good few days yet now some of the unsettled weather that's been affecting us in the southern parts of europe has also been affecting us in the northern parts of

africa and it's still with us on sunday a good deal of cloud here there's a chance of a few outbreaks of rain pulling away there was we head into monday drier weather here but there's more wet weather to come forth in rabbet. from satellite technology to three d. printing and recycled waste to solar powered classrooms africa is transforming young innovators are propelling change building communities creating employment and solving problems they're challenging systems and shaping you what it's about creative thinkers shaping their continents future innovate africa at this time on al-jazeera.

al jazeera. every year. quick look at the top stories for you this hour after days of wrangling the u.n. security council has unanimously adopted a resolution demanding a thirty day truce in syria to to allow aid in. i still is claiming responsibility for twin suicide bombings that killed at least six people

in yemen southern city of aden. in nigeria's president is deploying extra soldiers to search for more than one hundred girls kidnapped by boko haram in the town of. dozens of protests have taken place across italy as tensions rise in the run up to next weekend's election the leader of the anti immigrant party also called the northern league as address thousands of supporters in milan but they're also being met by opposition several other demonstrations in support of immigration have taken place including in the capital run sunday gago reports. rally the crowds in milan but matteo salvini wanted the ear of the whole nation only days away from italy's parliamentary elections this was the largest gathering given by the right wing populist leggo policy it may have started out as a northern italian secessionist movement with a desire to separate from what it calls a backward southern region but this is italy politics here is

a mecurio game sensing the change it rebranded itself as the policy full all italians with the same anti immigrant populous program. we want to federal more efficient country which takes care of the north and the south employment taxation immigration the league has grown up. in many ways mr snyder really has a lot in common with the far right of european leaders. european union gura zone he's also against the big macro dominance over the economy on what's really going to. live is an answer immigration policy and here there are plenty of people who support background given the refugee crisis that has hit that city securely. in the last four years some six hundred thousand people have arrived in italy by sea but it has coincided with a tougher session and high unemployment and the infrastructure has barely been able to cope immigration rhetoric has served to whip up sentiments hear him pass the

phrase impress them you've got to throw in this is the government has imposed this uncontrolled migration on it's unregulated and it's not fair. i want to clean italy i want more employment less crime we have legal immigrants who are destroying it illegally the whole all over the country there is a sense of hardening attitudes in the southern city of one neo fascist group came out to defend its positions meanwhile in the capital rome the fear of a return of italy's fascist past prompted five separate demonstrations railing against the agenda of the far right this is a country which has always had sharp divisions in the political scene but there is a fear that the violent tensions of the past are making a return to sluggish economy has made many here feel hard done by and there is little trust in mainstream politicians to result it. al jazeera.

a new report by save the children is detailed the dangers range children face living at refugee camps in cox's bazaar and bangladesh aid workers have documented at least thirty two cases of child trafficking in the camps since august but say the real number could be higher save the children spoke to girls in the camps who has said they were. afraid to use the communal toilets for fear of harassment mothers described how they kept their children close because of that belief that kidnappers were operating in the camps the charity says another concern for children is the security of their tents which are made of bamboo and plastic. agencies are doing a number of things to address some of the concerns that and raised simple things like recommending lights in the camp so that they've had to access the trains at night but also i think one of the big priorities is to increase access to. children at the moment only about a quarter of. have access to learning opportunities this is something we really

want to scale up in the future and i think that's really important because learning learning activities and running centers provide children with a great form of protection and safety protected from homes like trafficking and things like that when they're in those running activities so that's really important this isn't a huge humanitarian crisis where it's you know everything from providing shelter and food for a new refugees to providing really important social support and i think that's probably one of the elements of this response. particularly concerning is that there are so many children and adults and that it clearly living in distress that experience really traumatic things and they need support to address the mental health and their emotional wellbeing and recovery such is the this scale and magnitude of this crisis and much. more efficient support is needed we've seen a seven hundred thousand a year arrive in bangladesh and in six months an incredibly large number of people

that are living in really congested really challenging conditions and in a couple of days' time we're going to see a new joint appeal and for almost a billion dollars and to support the right here in the host community affected by this crosses over the next ten months and it's really important that the international community steps up and fully funds that that appeal. we come to sudan released eighty people arrested during protests in january many more remain locked up some of those arrested with john list who say they were arrested simply for doing their jobs have a morgan reports from a hard tomb. ten days ago i might have been he was not sure whether she'd ever see her home or her children again but journalist was held for more than a month without charge or trial after she was arrested while filming protests against economic reforms. i was arrested on the sixteenth of january in the protest organized by the community party we were at the place the protests were

held with my colleague omar the security people came and beat us and directed us to go to a certain direction they surrounded me and said i'm honest filming us amal is filming us here all know how bernie was one of eighty journalists politicians and activists released last week by the sudanese government they were arrested during last month's protest against the government's decision to devalue the currency which led to price rises and inflation lawyer had and has and like others who were arrested says she had no part in the protests but the good the member with her had better say i was walking on the streets after the protests and they were beating a young man so i stepped in to help and and told them to leave him they turned to me and started beating me they put me on a pickup truck and i was taken to detention little funicular yet then because the prisoners were released as to international pressure on sudan's government which hasn't said how many arrests were made political and rights groups say more than

two hundred people were arrested during the protests over high prices in january and with only eighty released rights groups including human rights watch say many are still being held in unknown locations with no access to lawyers or family visit in conditions which may constitute and force appearances and with democrats of abuse. the government has pledged to release all prisoners but says protesters who are attempting an overthrow need to be careful with the guard i see there is the president's decision to release the prisoners as a sign of good will and we released all the students women and all the members of the party and we hope that contributes in developing the plan. environment. but anyone who tries to mess with the administrative institutes of the nation and tarnish it we will not let them get away with it i'm an. amateur bernie says she's happy to be back with her family a game but worries about others who remain in detention and whether she'll be killed again for doing her job he will morgan al-jazeera caught up to him the film
