children and women among them. 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 i know i am blind i lost my house six days ago i have nothing at all i have been here for six days there's no food and water are living in tal. chlorine gas has also reportedly been used activists and medics a victim suffered breathing problems i don't know some of the teachers today we have more than thirty dead dozens of mints and launching of chemical weapons they bombard us with chlorine sarin and other gases from iran and we don't know what they are russian in common they don't care about un council decisions they still can 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. allow their forces to advance the syrian government and russia are using

a loophole in the un security council cease fire resolution the military campaign they say that does not cover areas which are held by what they call terrorists and eastern there are two main rebel groups. and. they have sent representatives to russian sponsored talks in astronaut but there are also a few hundred. fighters belonging to a group previously known as the. front the opposition says. fighters are ready to leave but the pro-government alliance wants all rebel factions to surrender there are thousands of fighters in eastern huta and between three hundred to four hundred thousand civilians says the u.n. . god 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 at least to be held hostage but the fighters and their families are also the people of this damascus suburb surrendering would probably mean forcible displacement to

another unsafe rebel area and never returning home. u.n. spokesman. daily truce is better than nothing we stand ready as soon as the conditions are safe for truck drivers humanitarian workers to roll into these areas. for that to be effective. the fighting needs to stop we need to ensure that there are no roadblocks whether physical or administrative. whether or not. five hours is enough not enough it's a difficult question to answer five hours is better than no hours but we would like to see any sation forces be extended. thirty days as the security council said but we will effort to do whatever we can within the time that we're able to

work the u.k. stephanie ambassador to the u.n. there was criticizing russia's announcement of the humanitarian corridor in syria we've got a clear resolution that's been passed by everybody every member state of the security council is obliged to do everything it can to implement and to see implemented security council resolutions and of course includes russia i've just seen the announcement you referred to and what i would say to that is that is not compliance that is not implementation of the resolution passed on saturday. but it does show that it can be implemented so russia can implement it if it chooses to if it's able to do a fine example it is able to do a twenty four hour pause so it's up to russia whether it wants to implement fully the resolution that it signed up to and voted for where it wants to play cynical games. and fellow and the program on arab politics at the washington institute where he focuses on syria he joins us now live from washington d.c. andrew what you make of this russian announcement of this daily five polls in

fighting russia showing this still very much in control. russia showing it has influence it's good to have this kind of pas and humanitarian corridors in theory but it's not going to stop the assad regime's assault on these besieged areas it's not going to meet the thirty day cease fire. which was demanded by the u.n. security council instead going to give us something way short of that and with it we're going to have some relief but continued suffering of those who were surrounded in the school and where does this leave that un resolution i mean it is russia playing as the u.k.'s deputy ambassador said cynical games. well i think russia is playing a game in which it tries to do the bare minimum to in order to pacify or to

basically. gain the acceptance of a lot of. the international community that is doing all that it can i think there is a lot of skeptics that say that they can do a lot more and the problem of course that the russians have is inside the conflict is that bashar assad triangulates between them and the iranians and so when they don't listen to the russians they often go to the iranians and the iranians oftentimes have a harder line on these things but so basically this cease fire is not going to be implemented until all the parties are operating on the ground. except the rebels of course. agree that in a position they're happy militarily the opposing fighting is needed and that's right there have to be a decision by. the assad regime in the various factions that fighting was not their best interest right now and that it's better to go to the negotiating table the problem is that while the negotiating table is there so to speak. the

opportunity to make progress at the talks is very limited i don't expect that's going to change absent increase in the fighting the worsening situation right so if this five daily poor in fighting which which could begin later today is introduced. i will make a difference to the civilians trapped in eastern. well it could give them food it could allow them to civilians to escape. but it depends on how many people want to leave. the track record of those who do leave the areas they oftentimes make it out but not necessarily better conditions. and then of course there is the specter of the assad regime turning up. the use of other weapons on these areas in the future so it's going to it's going to be interesting to see if this actually takes hold and you're good to talk to many thanks indeed for being

with us my pleasure russia has vetoed a u.n. resolution which would have criticized iran for failing to prevent its weapons from falling into the hands of you who think rebels in yemen instead the security council unanimously adopted a russian proposed resolution which did not mention iran diplomatic as james bays reports from the u.n. in new york for the middle east this was an important moment russia for the first time casting its veto in the security council to protect iran it came in a moment of high drama in the council chamber to rival resolutions on yemen put to back to back votes the one vetoed by russia was a u.k. draft back strongly by the u.s. which contained criticism of iran it received eleven votes in favor because of russia's position it failed they moved on to russia's own draft without any mention

of iran security council members aware that sanctions in yemen would collapse if there was no new resolution back to unanimously it led to angry exchanges the u.k.'s resolution was a simple common sense it called out iran for giving the who are these the tools to threaten yemen's neighbors and to threaten freedom of navigation through the red sea. but this common sense attempt to hold iran accountable has failed it's going to become a political move i will be frank the wording in the british draft is liable to have dangerous destabilizing ramifications and this is not only a political to the situation in yemen but also to the region overall this will never truly escalate regional tensions and lead to conflicts among key regional players the vote had been postponed for several hours as the u.k. tried but failed to reach a compromise with russia the acting british ambassador had earlier told me he wanted his resolution to reflect the findings of an independent panel on yemen but

that report was not only critical of iran russia doesn't like the outcome of certain expert panel reports it just doesn't like the messages doesn't mean it undermine everything they say so we'll be urging our colleagues for the good of the united nations system to vote in favor of areas in which your text doesn't reflect everything in the panel of experts reports as a mention of us torture camps is not the same mention of the bombardment by the saudis and the illegality of that in the resolution so our text focusing on part of what the problems of the us or our text has the support of the council and that's on this thank you very much in the end he did receive the support of the majority but the key takeaway is the fact that russia was prepared to cast its veto the trumpet ministration constantly says that terror on is the stabilizing the middle east region and that it's prepared to take action we've now had confirmed what we expected that russia will block the un route to any such action james outages era

of the united nations beta cells reza senior consulting researcher at chatham house he joins us now via skype from new york peter good to have you with us where you make of all of this. well it's not a major surprise russia has an interest in protecting iran overall in all of this and certainly there is a case to be made a number of accusations that the made in the panel of experts report the panel of experts perhaps not quite as conclusive in in their findings as has been suggested what they're saying is there is clear evidence that iranian made. components found their way to yemen probably since the war began but not that iran can be proven to have supplied the these components and again as your reporter was asking someone just a month ago i believe the british represents that at the u.n.

a number of other accusations saying that all parties to the conflict violated international humanitarian law and allegations the so-called camps and in some parts of the country somewhat selective and also with a new u.n. envoy in place one could one could argue that the security council voted in favor of this resolution would really have made his job much easier if he came in and try to mediate and end the conflict so who's got the moral high ground here russia of all the sponsors of this resolution. no one has the moral high ground in any and in anything to do with the security council right now. the use of the. across the board in the security council right now is something that is political we're seeing resolution trying to lay blame firmly on one side and punish one side or the other using to. prevent that from happening so this is really sadly just

politics as usual in many ways for the un security council and very little to do with sort of any form of moral high ground on the part of any any group all right what should the un security council be doing constructively to bring relief to the people suffering in yemen. well first and foremost there is a slightly problematic security council resolution from twenty fifteen u.n. security council resolution two two one six which arguably ties the hands of the u.n. envoy tied to the previous u.n. envoy to yemen a new envoy now about to come into the role at the end of this month. and what they could do is put in a resolution that gives him more leeway to talk to who he likes and to mediate between whichever party sees fit because that resolution has. in effect put the

conflict into into two camps which in the longer really relevant given the chain of events on the ground peter really good to talk to you many thanks indeed because on screen you. from out sirrah still to come on the program teachers and students return to the size of the florida school mass shooting as police come under more criticism plus. the right to be. an emotional appeal to save their head just by own sense to cheese fellow nobel peace laureates. and later in sport german football supporters make their feelings clear about the matches being moved to monday's. south africa's new president has reappointed a number of ministers sacked by former leader jacob zuma still run oppose announced

and probably the second most important partner after the saudis that being said i think generally speaking they continue to enjoy a significant amount of popular support and if you look at what the u.a.e. has been able to achieve in fighting terrorist groups like al qaeda in the arabian peninsula with some of the groups that want to speak has thought about has been speaking about these groups have actually played a major role in pushing al qaeda out of key areas since the war began at least ten thousand yemenis have been killed the economy crippled and millions face famine and disease the u.n. says nearly old twenty five million people need some form of humanitarian assistance with close to half the population in acute need of support as the fighting is about to enter its fourth year if you have much hope of improvement anytime soon. israeli forces have arrested nineteen

of their game by throwing tennis balls on to the pitch. earlier we spoke to paddy higgs a writer for one football based in germany i asked him why monday night football is such a divisive issue in the country german football fans are certainly a very traditional bunch and they're not scared about showing and he disdain for anything that marred challenge that monday night football they believe is certainly something that strikes at the heart of that tradition they see it much more as a commercial decision rather than one for the fans you can sort of see their point i mean fans from out burg are going to find it hard to travel on monday not all the way from where they are to dortmund so we can say now with the scenes adornments are not in the scenes at frankfurt that it is not a popular decision paddy i want to ask you about that the burning issue in football across the world you same bolts and dancing on switzer that he will sign for a professional football the same on choose day he's actually said in the past that brushes dorman may give him a trial what can you tell us about it oh yeah it's been said for
