a daily humanitarian pauses being introduced starting february twenty seventh from nine am to two pm and a humanitarian corridor will be created for the exit of civilians it's cordon it's have been prepared and will be announced soon. the un has welcomed russia's plan but as reiterated its call for a thirty day ceasefire across syria which was passed a resolution on saturday the u.k. criticized president putin's move and accused russia of playing games twenty six people were killed on monday nearly five hundred people have died in intense bombing by syrian and russian forces over the past week i was here as a solid job that has the latest it is not yet clear what the details of this proposed russian ceasefire between nine am to two in the afternoon are going to be so far what we've seen is that this humanitarian ceasefire will mean that a car door will be opened and people will be allowed to exit people inside eastern huta do not want to exit from their homes they have been seeing what has been

happening to people in aleppo they've been seeing what have been happening to people in the riot and they do not want to exit their own homes to places there where they don't know what are the conditions going to be like if it is going to be in the south near the border with jordan are they going to be moving west the words the city of damascus the syrian capital or will they be forced to move into it because continuing to be a front line between government and rebel forces so these are all questions that people who have been asking they're angry they're frustrated they say that this is not they were expecting what they were expecting from the united nations security council resolution and saturday evening where there was a unanimous agreement that there will be a thirty day ceasefire across syria people have been expecting humanitarian aid deliveries to be brought into them this is an area home to nearly four hundred thousand people and a few hours they think is not going to help them the latest suspected chlorine gas attack in eastern kusa has killed a child and left many other people struggling to breathe witnesses reported

smelling the gas after an explosion just a warning that same. report contains some images you may find distressing. 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 on the ground offensive began on sunday just hours after the u.n. security council agreed to a cease fire throughout. 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. 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 lost my house six days ago i have nothing at all i have been here for six days there's no food and water living in tokyo. chlorine gas has also reportedly been used activists and medics a victim suffered breathing problems i know not only today we have more than thirty dead dozens of launching of chemical weapons they bombard us with chlorine sarin and other gases from iran and we don't know what they are. in common they don't care about un council decisions they still 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 advance the syrian government and russia are using

a loophole in the un security council cease fire resolution to the military campaign. areas which are held by what they call terrorists. and there are two main rebel groups socialists and. they have sent representatives to russian sponsored talks in astronaut but there are also a few hundred here as sam 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 of east today are being 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 staff under jadick says that a five 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 or 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 had said but we will effort to do whatever we can within the time that we're able

to work. but the u.k. stepper the ambassador to the u.n. is criticizing russia's announcement of a 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 all 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 was a 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 place the nickel games. is the president of the syria american medical society joins us now via skype from fresno california good to have you with us sir your organization operates around fifty percent of the medical facilities in you've got people on the

ground there are they going to be able to take advantage of this this poor's in fighting if it happens over seven hundred hours g.m.t. . unfortunately we are seeing here to see if what happened in the airport just to give you a background in the last few months when we had medical evacuations the ambulances and cars have taken more than ten hours to cross from the masters to the. good life saving those more than think along with the distance so that was a nazi practical because we know that the syrian forces at the too many blocks on the roads that even evacuating patients or delivering medical care is those congress to those areas are not spectacles like ours leave alone the concept of people ne is leaving good stock would clear conditions is not practical and it's

actually contrary to their principles will get in return operation people do not know they would be safe to leave those areas different occasions they're not sure they get they can be saved and not get interest they'll leave goods or they don't know where they will be treated stand we've seen even what we try to agree upon as medical evacuation a few months back was undermined by the syrian regime and became more am chipping bar a bargain and more likely it is a political deal so to speak and undermined the meeting operation c.e.o. saying as far as relief operations are concerned this this poor us in fighting this daily poor fighting with the russian president has ordered is as good as useless. absolutely we don't think it's practical we don't think it's impactful and i think it's really go if russia and syrian governments are willing to do something in fact will they need to start hostilities to go along and anything in it he need to know

our operation has to follow has to hold the principles of any basically routine operation and should be monitored by the un agencies none of that is that we able at this time if this this pours in fighting does come into effect and people do manage to make their way out of the east and go said do you have people there waiting to help them. or from our side from good so we've been a healthy people all along and people are free to make their own decision if they would want to leave under the current conditions posed by russia and the government of syria or you want to stay back but you have learned from aleppo when such conditions are poor people don't trust a military operation people don't trust the same side that's waging war on their town to just take walks through the chicken puts people are fearful for their lives

and they would probably rather stay back in their hometowns and space whatever they have to face i think if the u.n. is unable to operate their operation will see where better resolves the medical evacuation and he will get better results with convoys going in said goodness so people can stay in their own town as opposed to get displaced out of their own town and at the hour if if this five daily poor in violence is that is not the answer as far as the humanitarian operations are concerned what is the answer. it's. i think the answer is very clear the door has has to stop we always have been asking for ceasefire throughout syria we all have been asking that i think the most destructive air force of the most destructive force straight down so it's the air force they're using barrel the chemical weapons and that is the first thing that has to be grounded and this is the serious step over there following that

there should be a very sterile dishman of the mechanisms investigation investigating the war crimes like using of chemical weapon or utilization or talk to these hospitals that has been established to establish accountability that would help me to stick to the big deal to know that we didn't think that it's protected by the international community at this time we as you meet your is we feel that we're just behind you would care about us and we are good only one who are committed to help the people inside syria syria unfortunately we have no support we were sure and your organization the best somebody thanks dave for being with us ahmed to ranchi that's thank you thank russia has vetoed a u.n. resolution which would have criticized iran for failing to prevent its weapons from falling into the hands of the rebels in yemen instead the security council unanimously adopted a russian proposed resolution which did not mention iran or diplomatic editor james

space 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 iraq 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 when it called out iran for giving the who 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 to believe 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 the mention of us torture camps is

not the same mention of the bombardment by the saudis in the in the galatea of that in the resolution so our textbooks in all parts of what the public votes but our text has the support of the council on this moment as 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 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 out zira the united nations but peter solsbury is a senior consulting researcher at chatham house he says it's no surprise that russia vetoed the resolution. 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 have 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 component and again as your reporter was asking someone just a month ago i believe the british represents the at the u.n. a number of other accusations saying that all parties to the conflict violated international humanitarian law and allegations of so-called torture camps 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 has voted in favor of this resolution would really have made his job much easier as he came in

a meeting last month it was agreed that pyongyang will send one hundred fifty participants let's go live now to so al-jazeera is brought is with us from the rub in the aftermath of the games the that the talks are continuing what progress is being made to be no. that's right it's another day of talks building on the olympian goodwill. yes as you mentioned there at the peace village and pam and john on the border the d.m.z. between north and south korea two delegations are meeting about now to discuss arrangements for the paralympics that are coming up north korea is sending a paralympics team of around one hundred fifty it will include athletes coaches cheerleaders also reporters that's about half the size of the olympic team that has just now returned to north korea possibly the more significant meeting of today tuesday that's taken place has been with this senior official from north korea

general can yank child who has been leading a delegation here they came here for the closing ceremony they have been in south korea for two days of talks they have had a meeting this morning choose day at their closely guarded hotel with their opposite numbers at south korea's unification ministry and we believe are now travelling back across the land border with north korea that has been the more significant meeting if you like it has been a controversial one general kim is a character who is thought to have been behind a number of operations over the years directed against the south in particular the sinking of a warship eight years ago with the loss of nearly fifty lives so where everywhere he goes protesters in south korea have also staged sometimes very loud angry protests at his presence but certainly the fact of his presence here is very

significant developments in into korean relations rob what are the chances of this apparent improvement in relations continuing to the point what's the likelihood of the us getting involved. there does seem to be a willingness both in seoul lampe young yang to keep this on track to build on the mentor and that has already been built up over the olympics and we have in the short term at least a very good prospects of this dialogue continuing we've got the power lympics coming up and then of course in the background is the ongoing dialogue of trying to get mungy in the south korean president on a visit to north korea which would be a very significant development and while all these things are taking place there nobody seems to want to derail this old rock the boat we are not likely to see for example any more launches of missiles or nuclear tests from the north even the militaries of south korea or in the united states they have suspended military operations just while the olympics took place they said they would be resume now

it's always a very contentious subject it's always certain to rile a very angry north korea when these exercises take place there does seem to be maybe speculation an unofficial agreement that maybe they'll push back the deadline of when these next exercises start so there does seem to be a willingness on all sides to keep this moving as you mentioned there the big question will the united states get on board especially with their preconditions that any dialogue must first. must first have a commitment from north korea that it will stop its nuclear program which seems very hard to achieve but when j.n. is added extra pressure by calling in the last couple of days on the united states to reduce its threshold for talks to start presumably meaning that the united states isn't so adamant isn't so hard on that precondition but given the sense of feeling in washington at the moment that might be a concession too far rob many thanks pride in seoul. south africa's new
