well it depends on who you speak to more developments coming out of russia in the last couple of minutes we've been hearing from the russian state agency that people who have been injured and wounded be evacuated during this cease fire this pause that is going to continue from nine in the morning till two in the afternoon in eastern. russia's president ordered this cease fire in just to give you recap what has been happening in the last forty eight hours the united nations security council. agreeing to a thirty day cease fire on saturday on sunday we heard. talk to the russian president to try and persuade him to speak to the government and that seems to be what has happened that. a humanitarian pause but what we don't get from this is that how is this pause going to help the people who are on the ground because so far the details are that it will allow people to leave and there will be a safeguard for people to exit it does not talk about how will aid be reaching

these four hundred thousand people who are in dire. condition and in dire need of not just food aid but medical aid some of them have been telling us what are they facing. if civilians in the besieged areas continue in. their desks amongst children and women. everywhere. including residential areas. schools and civil defense centers. is it only arrives during a short time period while death continues we don't want i eat we want to see. bloodshed and the massacres committed against women and children in the east. so we're hearing a little bit more there about the current situation on the ground what else do we know. because there is no ceasefire

in eastern see more attacks today more than thirty attacks have been reported air strikes artillery shells and other charges that charges that have been dropped on areas including residential buildings more than twenty five people have been killed and people have been fast running out of basic essentials we heard pleas from medics saying that there were people who will be stranded in basements for forty eight hours before medics which aid workers could reach them and give them some food and it is a very desperate situation on the ground in the last twenty four hours the latest development is the ground offensive that has been launched by the syrian government in this report. one of the front lines in eastern opposition fighters say they are rebelling attempts by pro syrian government forces to storm the besieged and. rebel saying they killed

dozens of soldiers the ground offensive began on sunday just hours after the u.n. security council agreed to a cease fire throughout. that since then there has been no letup in the war the intensity of the airstrikes and the shelling appears to have dropped when compared to the relentless bombing campaign during the first week of the assault but civilians continue to die those who are able to find underground shelter avoid going outside more than five hundred people have already been killed children and women among them. refers to the any god give me patience to face this tragedy my children are scattered here and there my son lost three kids such awful memories imo i am blind i lost my house six days ago i have nothing at all i have been here for six days there is no food and water we are living in tal. chlorine gas has also. activists and medics

a victim suffered breathing problems. today we have more than thirty dozens of launching of chemical weapons. we don't know what they. don't care about un council decisions. and use chemical weapons against us pro-government forces have been accused of using chemical weapons in the past especially when they want to clear an area to allow their forces to. the syrian government. military. terrorists. and. the russian sponsored talks. but there are also a few hundred. fighters a group. the opposition says.

are ready to leave but the pro-government alliance wants all rebel factions to surrender there are thousands of fighters in eastern and between three hundred to four hundred thousand civilians says the u.n. . be with us where's the ceasefire the airstrikes haven't stopped we've been going through this for the past week no food no water the kremlin says the people are being held hostage but the fighters and their families are also the people of this damascus suburb surrendering. placement to another. area and never returning home. and what is not clear in all of this reporting and what we've been seeing is the is the suffering of the people on the ground temperatures have been dropping it's very very cold they can't go out and get blankets from their homes because it doesn't stop the bombing doesn't stop people are living in humid

conditions underground where that's where the temperature drops a few more degrees people who we've been speaking to since this announcement by russia say that they don't think that this is the solution they don't think that russia is abiding by the cease fire agreement that it agreed to at the united nations security council and they just don't know where will they go if this humanitarian corridor opens at nine am tomorrow morning bunch of it there live guys and have someone to. go home on the sorry is a seven filmmaker living currently in east and go to and he joins me now via skype at home and thanks very much for joining us can you tell us what it's like at the moment whether the cease fire as it's been called has made any difference. that's actually people still. having the same. direction as the.

last fifty people so far. a lot of injured people in hospital. people. can't for the. president to get any food. in the past few days we say there are. now all are destroyed because the city. been destroyed not because that's the. last. people in need. such intention of. the destruction still the same. when we talk about leaving the city because this is what the russians say the pricing is. do.

they feel that the ceasefire or are they simply asking you know where would you go . exactly where. it can. lead. them to go anywhere. where. they can be. killing. people don't don't think that this is an option that. they still want to keep. that they can simply go again statistics and repair the home again. good people just feel like the world has abandoned them that that everybody's just given up and put the situation in a box marked to difficult. actually when we talk about numbers

we took about. actually that just to keep the big picture of the detail. being here. so you can get. the. fun. much. we'll get from my day. the the the. they don't really now. i mean. they just seem to. move on to my brother. lenny. basement. right now. shane.

yes. your question. so much harlow joining us from inside the who who months i. think you. already are the u.n. secretary general used his opening address at the human rights council to call for an immediate cease fire in eastern guta the war in syria took center stage on the first day of high level discussions which are being held over the next four weeks they would take to have more from geneva. the u.n. secretary general antonio terrace used his opening address to demand the immediate implementation of the cease fire in syria as the news came in of continued government attacks against the rebel held suburb of damascus is than good cannot wait it's high time to stop these health on her death and that remind all parties of their absolute obligation an international humanitarian and

human rights law to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure at all times and similarly efforts to combat terrorism do not supersede these obligations the outgoing human rights high commissioner for the un as i had herad al hussein said he wished to be blunt about where the blame for what he called the slaughter house is really lay the responsibility for the continuation of so much pain lies with the five permanent members of the un security council so long as the veto is used by them to block any unity of action when it is needed the most when it could reduce the extreme suffering of innocent people then it is they the permanent members who must answer before the victims reforms to the system already being backed by two out of the five permanent members by france and the united kingdom

the high commissioner said it is time for the love of mercy for russia china and the united states to join them and stop the punishes use of the veto as the world celebrates the seventieth anniversary of the universal declaration of human rights the high commissioner said it was the worst offenders disregard and contempt for human rights which will be the eventual undoing of us all david chaytor al jazeera geneva. french president manuel mccollum has told his turkish counterpart that the u.n. call for a cease fire across syria must also apply to the afridi region sarky launched an offensive against the kurdish y p g there last month ancora considers the y. p.g. terrorists deployed further special forces to a free a monday on sunday turkey welcomed the un resolution calling for the ceasefire but said it wouldn't affect its campaign in a free well it took days of negotiations for the un security council to reach any

agreement on the syrian cease fire and the other similar wrangling over a resolution on yemen let's go live to a diplomatic editor james at the u.n. for us in new york hi there james so what are they saying there about the cease fire currently in eastern guta and what else is happening in yemen at the u.n. . well there's a great deal of unhappiness about the situation with regard to syria because remember after days of wrangling and negotiations here at the security council they finally on saturday afternoon new york time did pass a resolution but of course the fighting has not stopped and i think what's added to the anger is the suggestion from president putin that there can be now a five hour pause in syria each day and other security council members are saying well no we agreed for a continuous pause starting now and if you can enforce a five hour pause why aren't you doing what is international law cause the

resolution of the security council and imposing a twenty four hour pause from now the acting u.k. ambassador jonathan allen said that the russians were playing cynical games the response from the united nations from the spokesman for the secretary general use or speaking in david's report five hours is better the no hours but they would like a continued cease fire interesting again of course the wrangling is among the security council members but particularly as david focused on among those five veto wielding members teams is there live from the u.n. james thank you coming up on the news hour. war of words so over the war of words has broken out so with the u.a.e. accused of trying to fragment the country.

to tell you all sponsored this protest in the south korean capital seoul. city not known for its snow in a country not renowned for its interest in winter sport is getting ready to host the next olympics. u.n. agencies say food insecurity in south sudan has reached a unprecedented levels more than sixty percent of the population is at risk of starvation by july well displacement due to ongoing violence and a weak economy has contributed to the crisis have been morgan reports from the capital juba barely able to stand and to think. that's what john told the doctors when she brought in her two year old son go in for a check up but she cannot hide her grief when asked why he was in bad condition. we have no food in the house i plan to because of greens but that's not enough and

we can't afford to buy food from the market every day sometimes we eat one meal sometimes we don't eat doctors think. and it's not alone the u.n. children's organization unicef says more than one point three million children are at risk of being malnourished by july if not given assistance. son philip is one of them. i brought my child here because he hasn't gotten proper food for so long that the little food we do get he can't eat it and we can't afford regular meals. africa stand as nation has been its war for more than four years infighting between rival groups has claimed thousands of lives and displaced a quarter of the twelve million population it's also resulted in what the u.n. calls an unprecedented level of food insecurity as much as it is hard for those here in the capital juba to get through the situation is worse for millions of others around the country who have no access to markets and rely on aid to survive

that total is rising the u.n. says six point three million or fifty seven percent of the population is a trick of starvation by april and the u.n. says one hundred fifty five thousand people are at risk of being classified as an catastrophic things of food insecurity by july it is serious and that is why we are seeing and less drastic measures to can by the unitarian actus in this situation is likely to form but from last year we have an increase of food into fuel and food insecurity forty forty percent so if you compare last year with this year is so to do better but the u.n. says without an end to the conflict it will be hard to fight against the hunger as long as you have to concede continuing people will not feel secure in their own being and where they are and without that you don't have them actually producing food and i could be contributing to the food needs of what our imperatives i should maintain lactase is to look at now the people who are in need and make sure we get

the resources to provide them the assistance that any needs that keep increasing day by day with adults and children at risk of starving to death and there are millions people morgan al-jazeera juba. three c. male nobel peace prize winners of called aung san suu kyi to speak out about violence against range of muslims in the in march warning this year risks prosecution for genocide the women are visiting range of refugee camps in bangladesh have told their fellow nobel laureate to wake up to the atrocities facing the minority group the law doesn't recognize the written and has the violence in rakhine state on terrorists who are at mcguire is one of the peace prize winners visiting cox's for zone. the genocidal chore chair murder of anger people and the world has to do something to stop what so that's what but also we want to tear the burmese government to the international.

work nearly two weeks after a shooting at a school in florida they were greeted by supporters eyesight marjorie stone and douglas high school in parkland seventeen people were killed on february the fourteenth when a gunman entered the school and opened fire and one thousand year old former student has been charged with the shooting president trump has been meeting governess from around the u.s. with school safety at the top of the agenda let's get more from our white house correspondent kimberly how so what have we heard from that meeting kimberly. well the president has been holding a number of listening sessions this is a meeting of the governors around the united states here at the white house talking about the issue of school safety gun violence and how they can prevent a tragedy like we saw in florida in their own state there certainly is an indication the president feels a sense of urgency about this in terms of trying to put in place measures perhaps

like an age restriction on purchasing a firearm ending the sale of bump stocks that don't increase the accuracy of a gun but certainly its firepower and certainly there was a lot of receptive support for the president's efforts and measures but at the same time donald trump being donald trump he managed to make news within this serious discussion particularly when he began to criticize the school resource officer that has been criticized for not going in to try and stop the gunman in florida the president has criticized him but also now the president making news saying that he would have had the opposite reaction of that police officer who was posted outside the school as those shots were being fired i got to watch some deputy sheriffs performing this week and they weren't exactly. medal of honor winners all right the way they performed was frankly disgusting they were listening to what was going on

the one in particular he was then he was early then you had three others that probably a similar deal little bit later but a similar kind of a thing you know i really believe you don't know until you test it but i think i really believe i'd run into even if i didn't have a weapon and i think most of the people in this room would have done that too because i know most of you but the way they performed was it was really a disgrace. so many people horrified by the president's comments suggesting that he would have gone in to stop the shooter unlike the actions of that officer that was posted outside many people also fighting be comments by the president rather amusing even concerning given the fact that it is well known he took very strong efforts to avoid being drafted and doing

any sort of military service in the years of the vietnam war at kimberley not until the u.s. supreme court has dealt a blow to president today insisting that he must keep these protections that he's trying to end for immigrants that can you tell us what end. yeah essentially what happened here is the supreme court said we're not going to listen to this case you're going to have to pursue it in the lower courts that have already ruled against the trumpet ministrations efforts to end a program known as dock of us deferred action for childhood arrivals was put in place by barack obama essentially it allows hundreds of thousands of children now adults in the most cases who have grown up in the united states were brought here illegally and if they're living without status of need to status to work need that status to go to school so louis president isn't in that program and those protections were running out march fifty directed congress to act congress has not

acted and essentially the trumpet mistress was not very happy that the federal court said he could not end this program so they took it to the supreme court hoping that it would rule in favor not only did it not rule the trumpet mr ations favor it said we're not going to listen to this case at all you're going to have to work through the appeals process at the federal court level so what this means is this case continues and in the interim those who are seeking protections don't have protections but at least know they won't be deported as of march fifth can have at their lives at the latest from the white house can be thank you still to come on the news our anger in the occupied west bank over israeli plans for settling land to speak cases save lake chad experts gather in nigeria to find ways to stop one of africa's most economically important lakes from trying. out in sport we'll tell you why the fans may be missing from monday night's game in germany's top only.
