failed to stop the bombing the pause was designed to allow civilians to leave but the un says none of the one thousand six hundred wounded people managed to get out after a brief lull residents say government planes resume there as strikes on the rebel held suburb rebels are also accused of breaking the truce but people did manage to venture out as a new honda now reports from beirut. some emerged from underground shelters to buy food and water others returned home to collect whatever is left of their belongings the relative calm gave the people of eastern some respect a five hour pause in the assault by the pro syrian government alliance on the besieged enclave ordered by the russian government the temporary truce from nine am until two pm is due to be repeated daily it's not enough for the syrians trapped in the war zone. what ceasefire we have been under bombardment all night planes flying

above our heads death is everywhere there's no ceasefire. the bombing campaign resumed soon after the limited ceasefire expired the last rebel stronghold near the capital damascus has been under attack for more than ten days civilian deaths are already close to six hundred the stated aim of the truce is to allow civilians to leave but the opposition says the true goal is to displace the population. so how do they expect the people of ghouta to leave their homes this can never happen we call on the countries who voted for a ceasefire at the un to pressure russia and syria to implement it no one can kick the people out of guta eastern hooter surrounded by government controlled territory the russian center for reconciliation says a corridor has been opened for civilians to leave by a there was fifteen crossing point the center accuses rebels of shelling the evacuation route and preventing people from leaving the opposition denies that. but

the people do not want to leave they don't not want to be displaced and never be able to return to their homes it has already happened to thousands of syrians after government forces recapture rebel held territories it's not just that many are afraid to cross into government controlled territory without international observers or security guarantees they fear arrest or conscription. up to four hundred thousand people are believed to be trapped in eastern hooter hundreds need urgent medical assistance and evacuation it's not clear if aid will be allowed during the pause in the fighting medics say they aren't able to cope when we last doctors and nurses there are women and children dying we want these massacres to stalk please end this. the procedure in government alliance has taken the decision to recapture eastern huta at any cost for now the people of eastern will have two choices death or displacement. beirut. al-jazeera

correspondent gary sent this update from inside eastern ghouta. yes shelling is still ongoing in eastern goujet through many villages and towns and even the city of duma you can hear the intensive bombardment of several areas fierce battles are also taking place the host of a hair and front says the regime forces are trying to advance and storm east and grew to russia yesterday announced a truce between nine am and two pm in addition to humanitarian corridors for civilians to leave the area but the civilians don't want to leave to areas controlled by the regime by these corridors or crossings because of the continued shelling the syrian regime forces are only a few hundred meters from where i am civilians have been killed today and people stuck here scared administrative and medical authorities here say that there is no contact or coordination between them on one hand and the russian side all the syrian red crescent on the other hand the administrative and medical authorities

say this is aimed at circumventing the security council's decision on the truce well earlier i spoke to panos says the u.n. regional humanitarian coordinator for syria he says the truce has done nothing to change the situation on the ground. the situation really is highly straight because we haven't been able to bring in any aid convoys for more than ten days now that has been really high intensity hostilities in a civilian area in areas where there's more than one hundred thousand people that have been there living in. this acute council resolution has not translated into action and they feel it really are ready to use the security council decision is made it is not interpret it's an action on the ground and on the humanitarian side who are within the limits distance ten miles distance from his that who are in damascus unable really roll out who had medical supplies that are desperately needed to bring to people in the area so this iteration is really highlighted

satisfactory to say the least and we continue to worry about protection of civilians the number it's become almost like a routine daily statistics of how many people of killed how many people are injured and yet we don't see any action to really implement the security council resolution and to allow us to bring to go in and bring commits and assistance to also take out the medical cases. ranger very joins us now from on the southern border with syria and we were just hearing from the un representative in the region that the security council resolution hasn't translated to any concrete action on the ground we've been focusing a great deal on eastern good but of course it apply to the entire country what about fighting elsewhere in syria. absolutely mariyam the flashpoints across syria continuing to be lit up with multiple forces acting inside the northern parts of syria in

a frame where turkish government is a lot has launched an operation against kurdish rebels that it calls terrorists those kurdish rebels are fighting alongside american soldiers in there is or province where they are chasing remnants of isis fighters there's also fighting happening in problems between various factions of the syrian syrian rebels as well as the government forces and then of course there is a where there was hopes that this five hour pause would bring in some sort of humanitarian aid you've been hearing from people on the ground that it's been relentless since this pause ended there have been a number of shells landing in residential neighborhoods more than six people have died in the past couple of hours and people on the ground are extremely desperate they have been running out of everything that they can use and they have been calling today will be looking at the world for help and they were there had hopes when the united nations security council said that the road be a pause but so far nothing seems to be moving on the ground. and what about the

situation and side. because we had the russian intervention calling for a daily humanitarian pause for five hours to allow some type of aid even if it's limited to access the area but has there been any change in the last twenty four hours in the kind of concentration of fighting. when the fighting has there are two aspects to this. of the government continues into various areas. on the outskirts there are government forces which are stationed and every once in a while they try to enter the besieged and clave we've been hearing for fighters on the ground who say that they have killed a number of government soldiers and militias who have been trying to eastern from multiple fronts these are areas where the constant the concentration of airstrikes and artillery shells is also being reported. in duma and on the outskirts of these

are areas where fighters have been placed it is estimated there could be a number as many of ten thousand rebel fighters inside eastern which is home to four hundred thousand people but the majority of the people who live here are civilians and that has been the case and that has been the plea by aid agencies including the united nations and the international red cross to allow in humanitarian aid today we heard from the russian foreign minister saying that the deal that they have struck with the syrian government the poles that was ordered by the russian president means that there will be aid that will go in and evacuations will happen but the first event came and went and nothing has moved there was the blame game that we saw earlier during the day that rebels were targeting this humanitarian corridor and rebels continued to report airstrikes and shelling on the ground but the people continue to suffer it is very cold people have been living without electricity and they're spending the night another night in down basements

south africa's parliament has partially passed a motion allowing the government to take private land without compensation the motion was put forward by the left wing economic freedom fighters party it was passed by an overwhelming majority of two hundred forty one votes in favor of the us is eighty three votes against south africa's new president so a ram opposed says set that land reform needs to happen immediately malcolm webb has more from johannesburg. ever since the n.c. came to power in one nine hundred ninety four its politicians have promised land reform and redistribution they've had policies and programs to do so but progress has been slow and it still remains that in south africa about three quarters of the land belongs to the white minority a lot of people say that the reason progress has been so slow is because a lack of political will from the top of the a.n.c. and also allegations of corruption and landry redistribution julius malema the

leader of the breakaway opposition economic freedom fighters party has been saying that the problem needs to be tackled by changing the constitution to allow the government to expropriate land without compensation so he made the case to parliament to make to pass a motion to make that constitutional change we must ensure that we do store the dignity of our people without compensation as we are lent those who continue to protect these crimes themselves are accused of crime because those who protect the crime could not as themselves the motion was passed in the significant majority about two hundred forty in favor and about eighty voted against this is because the ruling a.n.c. party voted with the economic freedom fighters in recent years as the a.n.c. is popularity has declined their rhetoric has got even tougher on land reform they

used to object to expropriation without compensation but this time they joined in the effort in a move that will begin the process of constitutional change so by the time that's made it will take months and we don't know who will be in power there's an election next year and we don't know to what extent they will use this policy to bring about radical and change but it's something generally that may be popular with voters but on popular with investors. a controversial plan to tax the christian church in jerusalem which led to the closure of one of its holiest sites has been suspended by the city's mayor the church of the holy sepak considered to be the site of the crucifixion and burial of jesus has been shot in protest since sunday christian leaders say the tax plan was a deliberate israeli policy aimed at weakening their presence in the holy city al-jazeera as harry for said has more from outside the church in occupied east jerusalem. this is the third day that pilgrims tourists and others have been gathering in front of the closed door of the church of the holy circle k.

but right now they're gathering with increased intensity because they are aware of the news that has broken this afternoon that came from the prime minister's office saying that israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu had brokered some kind of an agreement between the leaders of the various churches the three churches that run this holy site together and the jewish and you know supposed to be the issue at hand is taxation it usually is musicality had been trying to collect what it says will hundred eighty six million dollars worth of back taxes owed on commercial properties rented out by the greek orthodox church the prime minister's office saying that there will now be a professional team composed of ministers to this policy and others which will assess those claims are not situation and that the collection activities will be suspended as a result the church leaders have also one negotiations on a separate issue the proposal of a law which would allow the israeli government to seize land which the church had

sold to private investors the government and the proposes of that law saying that it leaves people who live on that land in an uncertain situation and that's why the government needed that power the church says all of this is discriminatory against christians in the holy land so for now the church daws remain shut for there does seem to be an agreement which may have been able to bring this standoff to an end. turkey's president has been criticized for telling a six year old girl that she would be. on the dish she will moderate fatah i mean a tear as was brought on stage. on delivered a speech at his ruling party's congress in the city of qom armaan us after trying to comfort the crying girl by kissing up to one turn to the crowd and commended her military uniform is increasingly taken to bringing children dressed in military uniforms on stage or in public appearances which critics say is a bid to win him more support. gold. a turkey flak in hope

on social media which senses a working hard to block uses of the microblogging site weibo have been prevented from posting all searching for words and phrases including two term limit disagree shameless and named emperor. and senses have also been trying hard to crack down on any mention of winnie the pooh chinese social media users of often compare she too but they've still been sharing images like this one showing the cartoon bear hugging a jar of honey with the slogan find the thing you love and stick with it you know insaan is from the east asia program at the stimson center a nonprofit think tank which specializes in international peace and security she joins me now from washington thanks very much for speaking to us can i ask you about the reaction both in terms of the protests and on social media to what president xi is attempting to do. well there are two types of reactions in

china that this proposed constitution the revision samba hender we hear political at this we hear intellectuals and regular users netizens in china ricin questions about what political direction this country is really going was she i'm pro or was president she seeking permanent presidency in the country but on the other hand that there are also chinese newspapers most piece public intellectuals who are praising what she is trying to do they will actually be with the motivation to a desire to have a stable and stable political system was consistent policymaking not subscribed or not subject to the political differences or as a political disagreements within the party so for china to charter a greater cause they will argue that she'd impugns permanent residency permanent presidency is required. if you look at the way the government has been responding

to just talking about how they've been trying to ban search for words and phrases like two term limit or disagree or named even winnie the pooh might be something you know it's not that's. difficult to take that comparison seriously but nonetheless it looks as though the government is taking some offense to it how difficult is it going to be for them to control this kind of dissent in the online world. well beans in mainland china windows as the so-called the chinese internet police has see overwhelming vast capacity to concho what shows up on the block sphere or on the internet in china so sometimes it's not as those have to i love that the ability to what they call the the basically climb across the great firewall of china to access internet content outside china but those are relatively rare cases for people living urban area for people who have sea internet capability to do so but for the overwhelming majority of the chinese public in

china as in the information that they do have access to is strictly comes toda by the chinese government so it was that the chinese government is in a pretty good position in come tolling what the chinese people will see on the internet want. scrapping of constitutional term limits for the chinese president one mean for the rest of the world given china's position as a power plant. well coming to as a justification for the move for the removal of the term limitation the chinese communist party is basically saying we are for china to be a great power we need a consistent leadership and we need a strong be novel and and wisely there who lead the country forward and that is why they are removing the term limits she will have all of the times that he needs to

institute the economic reform and other reforms as he sees as necessary so for china is saying from the point of view of pluralism or constitutionalism or political liberalism this is not necessarily a good news because removing the term limits basically gives the possibility of she staying in power for that case and that the poppies paul where it will be relatively and checked and his power will have very little limits with scenes of political system because he is a man in charge so saying for political reform or for political liberalization this is i would call it a historical regression and for chinese foreign policy the most immediate effect is that now she has proclaimed him as this from a leader of china inns of a super future he would be men to the world to to show the respect to china as this from a leader will deserve and coming for example to us from the relations i believe she will become even more confident and

a more assertive and the more eager to pursue this global leaders status for china in this foreign policy thanks very much for your analysis and the east asia program at the stimson center in washington. in watching the news hour live from london still to come why the killing of russian opposition leader bars name some three years ago is feeling diplomatic tension with the united states and german pork in cities the green light to ban diesel cars to help with appalachian and then in sport the basketball team inspired by hollywood to make that they have to sign an n.b.a. superstar. welcome back cross much of the dance and western parts of asia the weather is looking pretty unsettled moment we have to weather systems pushing through now at this

are preparing to return almost two weeks after a gunman killed seventeen people there police a facing heavy criticism that they didn't do enough to prevent the shooting meanwhile republicans are only considering minor changes to firearm restrictions and there are reports that trump president trump might be rowing back on the idea of raising the minimum age for rifle purchases. andy gallagher joins us now from pomp and where the shooting happened then andy what is the mood the atmosphere like that today. well somber as you might expect it's almost been two weeks now since seventeen people were killed here at the marjory stoneman douglas high school where they returned to classes on wednesday only for a half day but let's bring in jenna kirsten who's a senior student here come on and jenna so you are back to school tomorrow first question when you walk through those gates tomorrow having gone through what you've been through how are you going to feel i'm going to feel especially very nervous

but i'm also going to feel pretty strong because we're all in this together as equals as one i don't know you've been out protesting in the streets the voices of the students have been resonating across the world at the moment president some seems to be rowing back on raising the minimum age for assault rifles what would you like to see what's your message to politicians who i don't like some of his messages having teachers have assault rifles because i don't like that he wants because what if a teacher baxley shoots a kid i don't like that at all but also i think that they should have teachers i think that they should have gun control guys not be limited in age but not have them at all because i think they should have that do you think the politicians do think the president is listening to you oh not at all i don't think that he has any interest i think his interest in not only that but i don't i don't agree with anything he's saying what so ever if you had a message for the president what would that be exactly that kind that they should

be saying these kinds of ads off jenna has there is no doubt because like all of them what are the big earnings like just there's no. just having these guns sold there is nothing but a negative outcome you know we wish you all the best going back to school on wednesday thank you very much for your time so that is typical i think of what the students at this school think they've been very active their voices have been resonating across the globe their demands really are pretty simple and that is that assault rifle should be banned altogether and what we're seeing at the moment from president trump who initially said he wanted to raise the age limit up to twenty one remember nicholas cruz's nineteen and had ten weapons he seems to be rowing that back at the moment having promised immediate action banning bomb stocks and things like that but at the moment washington d.c. seems to be slowing down we're really getting nothing from the white house but certainly the students voices remain strong here in part on florida they want to see a complete ban on assault rifles and they want to see action pretty quickly all right

thank you very much andy gallacher in part in florida well in other stories from the u.s. president may have only just finished his first year in the white house but he's already looking ahead to a twenty twenty reelection. digital expert brad pascal to be his campaign manager it's thought to be the earliest any incumbent u.s. president has officially declared his reelection campaign in a statement the trunk campaign said pascal would lead advanced planning. applause outside the russian embassy in washington has been renamed in honor of the assassinated russian opposition leader bars themselves in moscow people laid flowers a memorial on the third anniversary of his death themself was shot dead on a bridge near the kremlin in two thousand and fifteen it was a vocal critic of president vladimir putin and the u.s. move has caused friction with the kremlin but it's not the first time street names have been used as a weapon of diplomacy back in the one nine hundred eighty s.

the street housing the vent soviet embassy in washington was renamed after the dissident scientist andre sucker of republican senator ted cruz has been pushing for the chinese embassy's current address to be changed to our plaza after the jailed human rights activist who died last year and it's not just in the u.s. in one thousand nine hundred one the british founded that found their embassy in iran was no longer on churchill street but bobby sands street after an irish republican prisoner who died on hunger strike on the moscow city authorities are considering responding to this latest u.s. move by naming the blind alley alongside the u.s. embassy north american dead end opacic ah and joins us now from the plaza in washington and still a fair few people there behind you since the last time we spoke patty what's happening now. over. well the ceremony has concluded but behind me there are people putting flowers underneath the streets and if you want to take a look at this now official this is the bourse off the plaza so what does that mean

well it means that russian diplomats when they enter their compound they're going to have to see that sign but when they write their address or get mail still going to wisconsin avenue so this is really being seen as mostly symbolic so we had a lot of politicians u.s. senators and members of congress come here and talk tough to say that this sends a message to russia but let's put this in among the backdrop of intelligence communities here in the united states say without question the russian government tried to interfere in the truth twenty sixteen presidential election there's a special council that is investigating the possibility that there was collusion between russians and the trump campaign and just today we've had the n.s.a. director come out and say that it's still happening that the russians are still trying to sow discord in the u.s. using social media and that he could stop it but he's not going to because president donald trump has not told him to and on top of that the u.s. congress passed overwhelmingly that they wanted to see sanctions on russian president trump to simply said no we're not going to do that i asked one u.s.

senator against all that backdrop what does this really mean and why won't the president follow congress's basically law that says he must say in them and his response was yes the president. right despite this symbolic display that we see here today is this you know pretty much the extent of it are we likely to see the president encourage or even take tougher measures against. throughout his entire presidency he has been careful not to criticize what amir putin the russian president in fact when he does speak about putin it's usually to compliment him so no it seems unlikely that the trumpet ministration is going to follow through with these sanctions even though congress over. really voted that he should yes do but he isn't right thank you very much from washington patty culhane . well now in colombia at least five soldiers have been killed and ten others

wounded in a bomb attack by marxist rebels the national liberation army bombed military vehicles on the road between the northern towns of to be. honest it tack came one day off the group said it would hold a unilateral cease fire during elections next month. well here after the colombian government signed its peace deal with the far the former fighters are launching a t.v. network new colombian news ams to offer a different post conflict alternative to the traditional media some of their reporters are facing resistance as alessandra yeti reports. there's a new player in colombia's media landscape one that doesn't have much money or clout but dreams of being revolutionary in a country where mainstream channels of long been seen as serving the interest of the powerful and emotionally we have a clear editorial line that guides us give voice to the voiceless to those who have been neglected by the state we also want to reclaim social struggles and report on

the peace implementation to the us what is one of twenty five former fire fighters running we have a colombian d.c.s. after a life of give your war fare as part of the two thousand and sixteen peace deal they live in housing paid by the government and receive a small stipend as they learn to operate cameras and write news stories the channel's director says it's a way to reintegrate fighters into society but it also aspires to become a distinctive voice. because we are aiming for objectivity which doesn't mean being was neutral we want to approach our journalism work with an almost scientific discipline and accuracy but without being distant or lacking sensitivity towards people's problems and for most riders the media training started while they were still in the jungle working for fights radio programs but reporting publicly on the streets means facing the public still wary of them after five decades of civil

conflict. it is not easy we face many obstacles and the rejection of some people who don't like peace all the idea of our reintegration but each day we learn a little bit more and continue towards the level we want to reach. they're hoping in time to attract a larger audience by focusing on stories and people neglected by means stream channels but media experts say they face an uphill battle as they try to convince the public that there are more than fights broke out and. a majority of colombians have a very bad image of the fox so they need to change that they need to demonstrate that they are like everybody else and be cool be interesting instead they insist their programming employing an ideological battle one of old style counter information it's fine if they want to do that support they should offer a new formats new ideas instead repeating the old formulas for the moment their shows are seen online and small community t.v.

networks but they're convinced they'll win over more eyeballs by covering the lives of the rule forgotten colombians and what they hope will become a televised revolution and listen to them. german cities will now be able to ban people from driving diesel cars in certain areas a federal administrative court approved lower court rulings that cities can impose bans to tackle app pollution and environmental campaigners have sued dozens of german cities arguing they have a judy to protect people's health the ruling could have had could have huge ramifications for carmakers in the country which is europe's largest com market dominate cain has more from berlin. this ruling has profound implications for much of the german automotive industry and specifically also for millions of road users let's be clear this ruling basically means that specific individual cities can now move to imposing either a ban or some sort of restriction on diesel engine engine vehicles coming into into
