right. this is al jazeera. hello i'm daryn jordan this is the al-jazeera news from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes. day two of a cease fire in syria's eastern ghouta after violations of the first day. a link to

u.n. report shows new links between north korea and syria's chemical weapons program. three months after his visit to saudi arabia led to a political crisis back home lebanon's prime minister is back in riyadh. and over two million cars are recalled in australia and the latest development in a scandal over unsafe bags. welcome to the program russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov has blamed syrian rebels for blocking access into the besieged area of eastern ghouta well russia's pause in fighting is in effect for a second day the first attempt on tuesday failed to stop the onslaught with at least thirteen killed in the fighting. says russia and its syrian allies have established humanitarian corridors for people to flee but rebel shelling is

blocking the path out where the u.n. says the truce is five hour window is too short to evacuate people or send them made. the people of syria face a direct humanitarian crisis un security council resolution two four zero one has established a framework for all parties to agree upon conditions to elevate the plight of civilians throughout the country russia together with the syrian government have already announced the establishment of humanitarian corridors in eastern group. now it is the turn of the militants and their sponsors to act the militants entrenched they continue the shelling of damascus blocking aid deliveries and the evacuation of those wishing to leave some of them just say it is in the turkish city of gas the end of the syrian border somerset's day two of these five hour cease fires in eastern due to what kelly expect to happen today. what is happening on the ground is a relative calm rest bite for the hundreds of thousands of people in who've been

shelled and bombed in the last eleven days intensely we've been hearing reports from the ground that this humanitarian pause is in the fact there have been a very few violation it's relatively quiet there are reports on the outskirts of eastern that the defense lines that have. for instance where there have been some clashes between government forces and rebel fighters who've been trying to use and with or for the last few days on the humanitarian front aide workers have been telling us there have been running out of basic essentials they're been using trying to use this post to get to more areas people have been stranded for days without food without water and without essential supplies it also gives them a chance to clear out the roads because if you remember aid workers were telling us twenty eight hours ago that many of the roads because of intense bombardment and shelling have been have been destroyed so they have to bring in diggers to try and

clear the rubble so ambulances and some aid workers can reach from one area to be other and also know once the cease fire is a rover presumably the bombings will continue in the syrian regime backed by the russians are absolutely determined to take eastern ghouta. absolutely this is one of the areas closest to the seat of power for the syrian government and they are adamant that they want to take it at any cost that's why you're seeing. a gathering of all sorts of. contingent of the syrian government across around on various front of the tiger brigade that forty four brigade the tenth regiment they're all gathering across we're going to try and take it as much as quickly as they can but it is it has to be said that the rebels are entrenched they have dug tunnels and they have been able to stave off this advance for the people in eastern who think that it is beyond understanding that they don't understand how would the world expect them to go to the very people who've been

bombing them until eight fifty nine and at nine o one in the morning they're supposed to cross this corridor and go back to the same side that has been killing them and they have been calling on the international community including russia to try and give some sort of guarantees for those people and medical evacuations to happen dissolved and today they. are thank you. now u.n. experts are accusing north korea of supplying the syrian government with items to create ballistic missiles and chemical weapons the reports expected to be publicly released next month outlines north korea's dealings with syria over the past ten years the supply of such items of breach u.n. sanctions the syrian government's been accused of using chemical weapons the report also says north korea sent ballistic missile systems to me and well who is managing editor at korea exposé and joins us live now on skype from seoul so this report hasn't officially been released yet but it will go on to say that that been dozens of climb to stein shipments to syria from north korea how big do you think the

problem is. we have been hearing about a military connection between north korea and various countries around the world for quite some time in the name syria and myanmar certainly had a lot in the past this report that we're talking about now was in fact mentioned in an a.p. report a lot of months ago so people knew that something was going on but what makes the report so damning is not only that it's been compiled but independent experts associated with the united nations but they do this all months details of just how far north korea has been floundering these international sanctions to me money and also supplying very dangerous weapons parts to other countries around the world so this is a really significant development so how do you think washington will react to this i mean are they likely to push for yet more sanctions against the north i think we can certainly expect it given what has been going on with washington for the last

several weeks you know there has been olympics going on here in south korea and the government here has been really trying to use that as an opportunity to bring about a gauge and dialogue with north korea and this is something that washington at least officially has been very adamantly opposed to and right now oh i think america really has gained crucial leverage in arguing that there need to be more sanctions in effect us announced last week what it called the heavy of sanctions ever against north korea and now it is in a credible position to say that even these sanctions are not working and if we are to trust what donald trump has said he has promised what he called face true against north korea and it's difficult and rather frightening to think look at my actually mean so where does this leave south korea then because as you say solar has been pushing for a dialogue with pyongyang and doesn't put the south in

a difficult position. i would say extremely difficult because south korea has always insisted dead yes it supports sanctions well it's to bring about dialogue they need to call in north korea and they're not released with no other option except to talk to south korea and also with us but now it seems that sanctions may not be working specially because north korea has the assistance of certain state actors like china and perhaps even russia but reports pointed out dead actually one of the facilitators in north korea's trade dog on as you would syria was a chinese shipping company this is something that china has been denying. south korea now is to actually explain if it really supports sanctions what does it really intend to do to make sure that sanctions or work and that's probably going to involve putting pressure on china and that's something that solar has been very reluctant to do for fear of offending this neighbor and perhaps causing economic sanctions against korea and go these are very much indeed for your time sir now in

myanmar to imprison reuters journalists appearing in court for another hearing they were arrested last december and have been charged with illegal possession of state secrets they have been covering the violence against muslim or hinge in rakhine state the u.n. is calling for their immediate release let's talk to a grand robinson she's chief editor at nikkei asian review and seen a fellow at the institute of security and international studies along commun of s.t. in thailand she joins us on skype from bangkok where robinson saw the journalists back in court today in myanmar clearly is not letting go of this case why is that. no they're not and it's clear that this kind of hostility towards particularly western media was now being obviously throughout last year the media became very active covering the rakhine crisis but this particular case really has i think galvanized them and they are determined it seems to make an example but

particularly i think because of the nature of this case and it forced the military . as we subsequently saw to actually admit incredibly to some killings of villages i think it's really route to security forces as well so there's a confluence of interests that are really out to make a case over this i do know just recently. coming out of some myanmar officials including the myanmar ambassador to the united nations has shifted a little bit to stress that this is not about press freedom it's about national security so they are very much invoking the rule of law based journalists allegedly had a secret documents again you know their defense is they were set up and that's what the case is. in terms of the bigger picture when is it your assessment that this

seems to be a growing trend throughout asia of cracking down on press freedom. yes i think it that's absolutely it's an it seems to me it's a very strange kind of coincidence and a convergence of. politics around the region and we saying crackdowns big crackdowns in cambodia vietnam the philippines and of course me and russia and to a lesser extent in thailand where there's a military regime and very strict placing a place a magistrate rule so this is all happening at the same time is there a patent reasons that are common i think that one thing that's really clear from watching the end is a growing resentment at what's perceived to be westen. western interference western lecturing and as we all know the response of the officials in myanmar to reporting on the recurring crisis has been extremely hostile but again it's similar

rhetoric we're saying from whom standing cambodia in the philippines listen to the vietnamese but still greatly up resenting western interest interference robinson we are coming to the thank you very much for your time. lots more so to come here on the news hour we'll tell you about the afghan president's olive branch to the taliban as the government moves towards ending sixteen years of conflict plus. i'm catherine sawyer in central african republic a town that is controlled by one of the largest rebel movements in the country i'll be telling you why they are here despite the presence of u.n. peacekeepers in sports legend is back to his best details coming up later in the program. now lebanon's prime minister saad hariri has returned to saudi arabia for the first

time since he abruptly quit you're going to visit to riyadh last year in the van but really made a televised address from saudi arabia announcing his resignation a day after arriving in the country where lebanese officials accused riyadh of forcing a reread to quit and putting him under house arrest well while the government denied this series resignation plans lebanon into a regional and political crisis between saudi arabia and iran i returned home weeks later after a french intervention and withdrew his resignation his government has since reaffirmed its policy of staying out of conflicts in arab countries let's talk to zain she's been covering the story for us and joins us live from the lebanese capital beirut cena many people must be asking why solder really is going back to riyadh so soon after his abrupt resignation there what's what's behind this move. well his press office is saying that the prime minister did not request this visit he is responding to an invitation given by the saudi authorities clearly toys are

strained not just between heidi and the saudi leadership but between saudi arabia and eleven on like you mentioned his sudden resignation from the saudi capital on november four and the bizarre events really the bizarre sequence of events that followed many in lebanon including the president accuse saudi arabia of putting the prime minister under house arrest even you know holding him as a hostage ever since he has revoked his resignation but the relationship has not been on a good foot in one way or the other there has been no visits never visited saudi arabia since then the first time an official saudi delegation visit the beirut was on monday now sources saying that this meeting or the meetings in saudi arabia will open a new phase in the relationship and so i know how much influence did the saudis lose as a result of this resignation. well how do you see is their man is saudi arabia's man in lebanon you lose him you lose influence saudi arabia did lose

a lot of influence the whole you know the whole resignation it was seen as a saudi orchestrated move against iran but iran did not lose any influence in lebanon how did he return to office hezbollah iran's ally still remains in his government so saudi arabia in one way or another miss a calculated so this is why it lost a lot of influence and we have to remember in may lebanon is holding parliamentary elections so people are denying that this has anything to do with that but of course the timing of these elections if saudi arabia wants to have influence they will need to be the strongest and most popular suddenly leader in lebanon saying up thank you. afghanistan's president has offered to recognize the taliban as a legitimate political group as part of talks aimed at ending the more than sixteen years of war ashraf ghani was speaking at a meeting of nations trying to build a framework for peace talks but he reiterated that the armed group also needs to recognize his government downey's proposed releasing prisoners and a review of the constitution officials from twenty five countries the e.u.

and nato a meeting as part of the kabul process in the afghan capital attorney bertie joins us live now from kabul tony so what details have come out of this meeting. well i think there are some encouraging signs according to some people about this announcement and the speech by president danny these things have been said before but he's the first time he said them in public i think as you mentioned for your intro that he's called on the taliban to come and join talks he's promised to recognize them he's actually said that they could move their office from doha to kabul and operate with immunity so that's a quite encouraging sign there are also signs going on the moment but one of them the main reasons is they must recognize the afghan government and that's something the taliban has always refused to do they've always said that the afghan government is a puppet of the americans and they will deal with the americans only but as i said there are encouraging signs not only from the afghan government but also from the taliban and from the americans now joining me now is political analysts. darkeys

political analyst he focuses on national security and he's with me are you encouraged by what's coming i think all of the afghans are encouraged that's for sure. the afghans and the international community recognizes the fact that none of the sides could could get to victory militarily i think. the offered that the president has made to the taliban is very bold and it should be welcomed and the fact that you have twenty five. members of the twenty five countries present in this conference today. that includes pakistan is an indication that we could get to that regional consensus that we talk about as far as reaching a peace deal is concerned reaching peace deal immediately would be would be quite far but one thing that we could be hopeful for is an immediate cease fire

that could be reached that because the taliban has shown softness in their stand and the african government today made an offer that indeed kids boldness and. softness at the same time about their willingness to engage taliban in peace talks should be welcomed and i think the afghan population at large deserves the right to to have is ceasefire which could and civilian casualties that has that has been. on a very large number over the past six months as you say there's been a softening of the stand by the taliban and a dropping of some of their previous conditions but still one of the conditions is that they will only deal directly with the americans is that a sticking point that is a sticking point because they believe that being that the americans have invaded the country and therefore they only would want to talk to the americans but i think that is utopia you cannot neglect the afghan government because african government

is is part of the conflict and the afghan government has been declared nice by almost every other country every country in the world so you cannot neglect and refrain from dealing with the afghan government and i think the afghan government today has as came out in specific president danny and has offered them immunity has open has as told that he is ready to accept them as a political group he is he's ready to who's them in kabul with immunity and i think it's time for for taliban as well to soften their stand and deal with the afghan government as well yes we do understand that the afghan conflict has various sides to it is the afghan side is the regional site to it and as far regionally the international side and when we talk about the local context i think it's very important taliban and the african government should come together and sit on a table and i think this is the perfect time for. thank you very much. signs around

this but it's a long process it's called the kabul process and still has much talking to be done and hopefully the here in kabul they hope that talking will include the taliban in the studio thank you. now one of christianity's holiest sites in jerusalem has reopened three days after it was leaders closed it in protest against israeli tax measures the church of the holy sepulture was believed by many to be the site of the crucifixion and resurrection of jesus christ it reopened after the local mayor suspended a plan to make churches pay substantial back taxes on their assets sorry for said as this update from occupied east jerusalem. well here in the square outside the church of the holy sepulcher things seem to be back to normal tourists and pilgrims they've been flocking over the last three days not able to get in through those giant wooden doors now they are able to get in to this most important christian holy site however behind the scenes there is still some uncertainty what has been

struck is an interim deal which is allowed the jerusalem municipality to suspend for now its attempts to collect back taxes from the three churches involved the armenian greek orthodox and roman catholic churches it's also allowed for the suspension of any proposed legislation which would see the israeli government have the ability to claim land seize land which the church had sold to private investors that is something that the church says is discriminatory along with the attempt to claim taxes from what it says it should be tax exempt properties in and around jerusalem for the tourists for the pilgrims this of course is a very happy day it was very important for us and. impression for us because we didn't see days to come in and we have no chance to call there and they tell us that the place if us it was an hour or two in actually that we may not get to come and so now i think it really joyous the price to be able to come in here so christians once again have access to sites such as this the slab

where jesus said to have been prepared for burial the question now is how this is resolved the plan is for a committee which includes ministers the jews from his party and others to try to come sign some kind of long term agreement as to how to solve the divisions that still exist between the church in your forty's there are some voices that question whether that gives too much power in the long term to israeli authorities while in the short term it does seem that they've backed down the standoff has been resolved the differences that created it have yet to be. employees at general motors in south korea are demanding the government protect their jobs they have already voted to go on strike if the u.s. carmakers decides to pull out of the country the company suspended pay talks earlier this month and revealed it would shut one of its factories is still deciding what will happen to the three remaining plants general motors employs around sixteen thousand people in south korea the pride isn't so with. the extent

motors global management i'd also the production of popular models we simply don't sell very well whatever the coal is the result is car production facilities that are working well under capacity with general motors korea looking for ways to turn around this business australia's government has over the recall of more than two million cars with airbags made by the japanese. it says it's not satisfied with the results of voluntary recalls carried out by vehicle manufacturers last year. the airbags have been linked to at least twenty three deaths around the world. there's no doubt that this is one of the largest and most significant recalls in the nation's history with a total of four million cars the fictive by defective airbags this equates to around two incident cars on the road. tragically there's been one death and one

case of serious injury. as a result of the deployment of these airbags and the government just doesn't want to see anymore venezuela's leader nicolas maduro has officially registered himself as a candidate for april's presidential election the opposition is boycotting the vote and calling it a farce in the do a rose main rivals a barred from standing against him others have left the country to avoid detention venezuela's going through an unprecedented recession with widespread shortages of basic goods medicines it's also facing tough sanctions from the united states. but venezuela's economic crisis is fueling mass migration into neighboring countries hundreds of thousands of people have gone to colombia and many others are heading south to brazil. reports from the northern brazilian city of what the u.n. is calling a refugee crisis. in a makeshift encampment the center of town hundreds of venezuelans who have crusted do brazil in search of what they can't find it home food jobs and maybe

a better life. this is a city of both of these dippers ilk on the border within a swale and that's where we find nineteen year old thomas prieto and his wife sees about it for them and their newborn baby said go home is now a tent in spite of the conditions they're hopeful. it's better here than in venezuela at least here we can eat here we have possibilities you can find food and people try to help us she is only twenty one years old and having to make decisions based on survival for her family but at this we came here to try and find a better future for our child and find. in the last few weeks about a thousand venezuelans have been arriving here every day after a tough journey across the border many are hungry. when a truck carrying food arrives in the park the desperation is evident i don't watch it unfold on the other side of town the gymnasium has been turned into

a rudimentary shelter for six hundred people the conditions are prison like with only two washrooms the first thing many venezuelans do when they reach brazil is try to get a job it's the first step in trying to earn money to support their families but to work in brazil you need a permit and that process of getting one used to take weeks but now it's taking months because there are so many people didn't work. they come to the police headquarters to begin the process and the plaza was forced to come here by herself to try to find work to support her three kids back home in ohio there are no options in venezuela the option is only to leave anthony the mayor of says the city is doing all it can but is one of brazil's smallest and poorest state capitals struggling. vista is offering all services we have to venezuelans because the city of only three hundred fifty thousand residents we don't have the capability either

fire. all three. deal with the situation. as more people arrive the strain on resources is likely to build but brazil at least for the time being does not plan to close its border with but if it does it would extinguish something else these people say is also in short supply. and that's hope. in a few moments there with. the families living on the ground in libya. traditional way of life plus. football. by the skyline if asian harbor or off the coast of the italian riviera.

weather coming in behind but that's not extending all the way from the balkans across the alps pushing right up across france and into the united kingdom london still struggling to get to one celsius on friday paris at five degrees as we go on through the end of the weekend these temperatures we back up into double figures. the weather sponsored by cats on race. course to beat the street by their governments in one nine hundred twenty three. it was very greek and turkish villagers returned to their roots only thing she really turned. and reconnect with the past they thought they'd lost forever. people shouldn't be forced to move from the land where that were born. the great population exchange at this time on al-jazeera. winning these breaks when people meet me.

in the struggles and like it occurred to me. that my brain and this story needs to be to be just largest catholic country is witnessing a dramatic rise in teenage pregnancies al-jazeera has teams on the ground to bring the mood winning documentaries. and live news on and. welcome back time for a quick recap of the top stories here al-jazeera russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov has blamed syrian rebels of blocking aid access into the rebel held area of eastern russia or that a pause in the fighting which is in effect for

a second day the first attempt on tuesday failed to stop the onslaught of the least thirteen people killed. afghanistan's president has offered to recognize the taliban as a legitimate political group as part of talks aimed at ending more than sixteen years of war don he was speaking at a meeting of diplomats trying to build a framework for peace talks. and australia's government has ordered the recall of more than two million cars with airbags made by the japanese firm says it's not satisfied with the results of voluntary recalls carried out by vehicle makers last year forty talk of the air bags have been linked to at least twenty three deaths worldwide. now indonesia's government has warned of an increased landslide with more than forty eight million people at risk across the country recent years have seen hundreds of people killed and thousands displaced during the rainy season from central java stop fast as this report. landslides have become indonesia's most common natural disaster killing more people in

a year then earthquakes floods or tsunamis. on february twenty two a group of farmers was buried while working at their rice fields when a hill collapsed on top of them. the danger looms mostly in that sleep off related mountainous areas like by general garda in central java here seventy percent of the land is prone to landslides put in one million people in immediate danger early in january fifty one houses were destroyed and villages were cut off after the land collapsed everyone managed to escape in time c.e.o. hannah and her husband ran out of the house when huge correct started to appear and the did and it was raining and we were all sitting together as heaven indeed suddenly the electricity went off and there was a rumbling noise everyone ran outside and we felt the landless moving electricity

poles had fallen down so i ran as fast as i could with my two sleeping kids. not only did she lose her house she also lost her chicken farm four years ago landslides were still rare in by joining but in the past two months there have been fifty nine. it started in two thousand and fourteen and more than one hundred twenty people died when a landslide buried a small village logging intense agriculture and the rapidly growing population are seen as the main causes. why do we see more landslides and floods it's an accumulation of environmental destruction with riverbed deforestation and that's been happening for decades while measurements show soil in biogen a ga is still unstable and more landslides could happen locals have started to clear the road millions of people in indonesia are living on a ticking time bomb every rain shower could cause another this asked for destroying lives property and livelihoods while experts urge people here in this mountainous

region to relocate many don't want to leave. the government so far has only relocated people who have lost their houses but land is getting scarce and many don't want to live far away from their plantations and farms those who insist on building new houses inside dangerous areas can still do so they are simply told to watch out and look for cracks and other signs showing that a landslide is about to happen rarely does there. the reality is we cannot evacuate everyone these people have their lives and livelihoods here they have their plantations we always tell them to be more careful. trying to prevent more casualties an early warning system has been put in place a district chief has urged the government to help pre-planned the area as soon as possible using trees with strong roots that can keeps all together if this is not done quickly he worries a much bigger disaster could happen some time soon. joins us now in our doha studio

stuff i suppose the big question is why is this happening now why are there so many of these deadly landslides in indonesia well there and you can say that basically in the nation is now paying the price for many years and decades of deforestation what's happening basically is that so much land has been cleared not only by looking companies but also by villagers basically because they have bentley populated areas they look for new land and agriculture has been done in areas that basically are not suitable and also the wrong kind of plants have been planted for example in the area where i was in this during this report there is a trend basically to plan this snake fruit trees they have very short roots and that means basically that the soil gets very unstable and as soon as there's a rain shower and this soil basically turns in some kind of parting you can see there is water growing beneath it as are several layers and basically it just collapsed like that just disappears and this has turned

a lot of land in indonesia in a very dangerous place so if if many of these places are so dangerous why is the government allowing people to live there it's a huge dilemma first of all the government can't relocate millions and millions of people we're talking about forty one million people that are in the danger zone and the other thing is of course that people are living in very first thailand is very fertile soil so their products are very well growing very well they have huge plantations and they can give that up if they're going to be relocated it's not sure that they have anything they can plan there they don't know if they have any income so basically it's a huge dilemma of course because they do you want to live there but they risk their lives basically nearly every day and indonesia is a country that faces many natural disasters we hear about tsunamis we hear about earthquakes but we don't really hear about these landslides in the media why is that no that's that's correct of of because. can a corruption so they attract

a lot of attention for example to us while you can say landslides are basically less sexy but what's also happening is because it's been happening so often because we have been covering a lot of landslides over the years but because it has basically become normal it has tracked a lot less intention and if a natural disaster which is basically a manmade natural disaster has become normal that's when it's really becoming worrying i think all right stet good to have you with us thank you very much and. now the head of saddam's army has been replaced and a shake up of the defense establishment president omar al bashir ordered a series of new senior appointments in the armed forces bashir replaced as head of security earlier this month he also announced more than eighty political prisoners would be released. fighting in central african republic between muslim and christian armed groups has forced more than a million people from their homes and half the population need humanitarian aid for the conflict is now spreading to whereas that were once thought to be peaceful the first of our three part series catherine sawyer went to

a diamond rich region in the northeast that's controlled by one of the largest rebel groups here's an exclusive report from priya. the i'm very busy but it hasn't been this rebel gunmen make sure that everyone entering bria is unarmed and don't belong to rival groups the checkpoint is controlled by the popular front for their innocence of the central african republic. the f.b.i. are seize one of the largest factions of what was a mostly muslim group called seleka the town is on important supply routes and has the largest diamond mines in the country. so we are all abundant we are not bundy it's all militia. organized we have structures we're not so just get out of line we deal with them when i see one commits a crime we have a judicial system to deal with that. business is a town center which is only now coming back to life after armed groups which had

it commemorates a crime in critical was murdered three years ago this particle. for the first time i find it is coming up on after show you have the family of slain kremlin critic in washington d.c. on the third anniversary of his killing they say to send a message to moscow he will be remembered. to bring name to a portion of road in his honor in front of the russian embassy or snapshot plan as it puts russia on notice notice that the world is watching there was plenty of tough talk from u.s. politicians senator ron johnson tells al-jazeera he believes without a doubt that the russian government interfered in the u.s. election that they are still sowing division on social media to which congress responded by passing sanctions that the president is refusing to implement but the congress seems unlikely to push him while the president at the end of congress you . have to ask president ok i voted for the sanctions and we learned
