yesterday on friday that attacks the drove up packed with explosives up cinched road and such and they did it was all we got to see early on today up close what happened there their words shattered glasses five hundred meters away from the building of it in the vicinity that was the strength of the bomb we could we peered inside the army headquarters and we saw large devery we weren't allowed to go inside the prime minister went inside and i asked him what he saw he told me this these were house with the lipstick that is the strength of the destination straight up through visiting the site she went to the hospital we weren't allowed to see the rooms or just perhaps they're trying to keep a tight control of what what could be filmed or not but there are about eighty nine so far officials that are being treated in the hospital and with this huge detonation that appears to have happened yesterday the desk call is like these are

a to rise in the hours and days ago there was a brazen attack actually the french embassy is down this road that's right behind me and it happened simultaneously with a friend special forces that have a big base here that's despite the sprint special forces that you're deployed in there's a hell area were deployed yesterday to protect the french institute in the french embassy it took them about forty five minutes to neutralize for attackers that attack the french embassy to use drones and helicopters for the group you know these forces inside the military headquarters it took them two hours before they could utilize the taj. if they want to other news now the u.n. team invites change says strikes on the c'sorbijn vessel on clay to go to probably amount to war crimes and those responsible should be prosecuted. he's also condemned rebels for shelling damascus but say that of all his saying reserve has toughest language for government raids on east and go for which killed at least

twenty three civilians on friday alone the un security council unanimously agreed last saturday to demand a thirty day ceasefire what we are seeing. elsewhere in syria are likely war crimes and potentially crimes against humanity civilians are being pounded into submission or does the perpetrators of these crimes must know that they are being identified. last years are being built up with a view to the prosecution and that they will be held accountable for what they have done well separate from the u.n. cease fire russia's president vladimir putin ordered daily humanitarian pauses which began last tuesday but they have also failed to allow aid deliveries or medical evacuations in the heart of reports from beirut and neighboring lebanon.

those who are is desperate he is just one of about four hundred thousand people trapped in eastern huta which is under attack. he is very ill and poor living in a besieged enclave means medicine and food are hard to find i remember what a lot of the roads here are i am crying my children are cried because i am unable to buy anything for them my situation is very bad we have no money. and for the past two weeks this is what the people have been facing. the only airstrikes artillery shelling more than six hundred civilians have already been killed. syrian aircraft are dropping leaflets over the besieged rebel held eastern some provide information and what they call safe exit out of the enclave others urge rebels to lay down their arms promising amnesty if they turn themselves in the pro-government alliance has been calling on civilians to leave and blame rebels for using them as

human shields. for many especially those involved in opposition activities crossing into government territory is not an option there are no security guarantees and people don't want to leave their homes the only one of the year russia is a terrorist state and it has carried out the massacres against the people of east and the humanitarian corridor they talk about is aimed at displacing the people and changing the demography of this region. there are voices of defiance from inside the war zone but the suffering is immense it's not clear how long they will be able to ensure. the syrian national coalition the main opposition body in exile is calling on the united states to enforce a cease fire that was recently adopted by the un security council it also wants washington to stop what it calls russia's monopoly of decision making in syria the us president donald trump discussed syria with germany's chancellor angela merkel

in france's president and manuel mccraw they all called on russia to stop bombing eastern who thought and to force the syrian government to stop offensive operations against civilian areas. destroying civilian infrastructure and making the lives of civilians unbearable are part of a military strategy it has worked in the past it's now being applied in eastern huta. beirut. to egypt now where the top court has validated a deal to transfer to red sea island to saudi arabia the agreement was signed when kings helmont visited egypt in two thousand and sixteen situation between the two countries and the red sea that on and remain largely on the occupied but they lie in a politically sensitive area while the sea is israel's only gateway for its southern port allowing vital trade connections to southeast asia one president at the fact

that he signed the transfer deal in two thousand and sixteen it provoked widespread protests across egypt opponents say it amounts to selling off egypt's sovereign territory since he was criticized for handing over the islands while receiving billions of dollars in aid from saudi arabia well let's get more on this now we're joined by god enlarges the u.s. middle east analyst mr ghanem always a pleasure to talk with you why do you think the court made this dispute decision despite the mass offices into it by the egyptian people. well i believe. it was very important for the region to get the approval of the concision the court and i mean the ruling today's ruling you know proves that. the constitutional court which is the highest judicial body in egypt is really part of the region it's not a separate. state it's not

a separate power it's it's all popular of the executive so it's not independent i don't believe and i mean judging by the results i don't believe you know and the big the ruling for the people who are confused it simply means that the judiciary you can situation the court to be more specific have decided to side with the executive in giving up parts of egypt's head a train to a foreign country this is a simple as that and what is the foreign countries saudi arabia why does it want the audience and what is it going to do with them with mention that it is in this sensitive area it's a very long story that started in the fifty's and the saudis didn't stop there is it was president eisenhower the former us president eisenhower and his government in who he was the israelis who started this by pushing the kingdom. actually to be more specific king so the former and the late king of saudi arabia

to dispute egypt on these two islands which has belonged to which have belonged all the time for since the dawn of time to egypt and the reason for that is that israel has never been confident and reassured since this birth that the news would remain in the hands of egypt and i believe even you know was in spite of of the good relations on president a good relations between the two countries israel will never be a real. issued these two islands which remain in the hands of egypt because something might say that's at least what the israelis things so they draw this the saudis have control of it and it's something that the us has always got it and i want to ask you about the timing of this because it's coming watch one day before mohamad in psalm on visits egypt such a good and wonderful coincidence i mean it might be

a good talking given to the crown prince of saudi arabia but let me just respond the fact that the way they have egypt did the two others to in favor of saudi arabia is totally. came in flagrante way it was a flagrant violation of both the local bishops and lows and the international law again but you know things happen and the unfortunately in the light of the fact that there is total absence of the mako say in egypt things happen then. nothing nothing we can do for now to reverse this thing or what mr ghanem thank you as always for your time really to share it down and. now government has handed management of a port which it seized from the u.a.e. to a state owned company container terminal is considered one of the most coveted pieces

of real estate in the horn of africa those he announced it said nationalisation last week triggering a furious response from the emirates from djibouti mohamad over ports on the fallout. of these newly nationalized dollar container tunnel in djibouti walker's report for duty until last week there were employees of the all the by ports world which in two thousand and six want a concession to operate the port for thirty years. i am the ports new leadership is working hard to manage and if fallout from the government's takeover and also reassure the workers. here that a new company called contain a time you know management company is now in charge of its own one hundred percent by djibouti you the employees are witnessing their making off the street and you are a key to our success the government of djibouti seized control of the port saying its contract with d.p. world was damaging the contrary

a statement from the office of the president say the agreement was one sided and compromised the sovereignty of the nation the more was a setback for d.p. world stealth to a political on small to one side for ports on the red sea coast but people we talked to on the streets are happy about the government's takeover. we support the president's decision the only took back what belongs to us or dubai ports. they were against the booty developing a dark yet. we are happy with the departure of dubai ports there is no point catering for the interests of those who don't care about your own. just days after the demotion government console its agreement with the buy ports world the company has signed a deal with the breakaway republic office. and if. one of the gives it the majority stake in the portal the better but the most west somalia somali government has described the agreement as illegal. and an affront to its sovereignty.

there are concerns here about the nineteen per cent stake if you appeal was awarded in the better but up port deal could deny djibouti some much needed business despite its small size djibouti has become an important player because of its position on the bubble mendip straight a crucial shipping lane to europe from the gulf and a sure it has been the gateway to long looked if you appeal for more than two decades with most of the hundred million strong nations exports on imports passing through djibouti officials here have been quick to downplay the agreement a little bit better though with six operational ports and two others under construction they say she butties able and willing to serve the anti african continent and beyond mohammedan to well just djibouti. where the czech next and then. i really want to study no education is useless i just want to go to
