a duty to form the government after an election with no clear winner and al jazeera investigation uncovers evidence that saudi arabia the u.a.e. supported the one thousand nine hundred ninety six attempt to overthrow the qatari government and the south korean delegation meets the north korean leader kim jong il and it's the first high profile visit from seoul in eleven years. let's begin in syria where a u.n. aid convoy has entered the duma the main town inside the besieged rebel held enclave of eastern who tough before being allowed past army checkpoints and most of the convoys medical supplies were confiscated syrian air attacks have continued killing at least forty people in just the past twenty four hours said the heart of reports and the warning some may find the images in this story the starving.

it's the first time aid has entered the rebel controlled enclave of eastern huta since the latest offensive began just over two weeks ago but world health organization officials say seventy percent of what was loaded on the trucks was removed during inspection. it's not the first time syrian government officials have prevented trauma kids and surgical supplies from reaching besieged areas they have been systematically removed from aid convoys in the past to prevent rebel fighters being treated but such life saving medical equipment is what is urgently needed medics say they are struggling according to the united nations up to one thousand civilians some of them critically ill need to be evacuated to receive proper treatment already a few thousand people have been injured in the airstrikes and the toll continues to rise. we were sleeping when my cousin came and told us my

sister's husband was killed god bless him then the war plane hit nearby my cousin my mother and father and two of my siblings were injured two of my other siblings are safe because they were in the underground shelter. on the ground a pro-government forces are advancing on several fronts taking territory in recent days mainly farms and villages in the east forcing many people to flee to the western parts of the enclave this by the international criticism and outrage the syrian president bashar assad promised to continue the offensive until eastern recaptured the government says it is fighting what it calls terrorists and it blames rebels for holding civilians as human shields the people in eastern would say the government wants to depopulate the area. they are wrapping children killed

in the bombardment with u.n. aid bags to show their anger over the organizations inability to help them others had a message to the syrian government backer russia. putin wants to displays the people of eastern you have no business here neither does your army that you shouldn't be opening doors for us to leave you should just stop getting us we will remain steadfast and no one can force us to leave our land god willing. the united nations says it has permission to deliver supplies enough for seventy thousand people in the next few days but it is estimated up to four hundred thousand people are in eastern huta an area that has been under siege for four years an area that doesn't receive aid regularly whatever aid does reach those trapped inside will help but it is far from enough. beirut or for more on the efforts to get aid in eastern who thought let's speak to ralph beirut he's the regional spokesperson for the international committee of the red cross sir thank you for joining us here on

al-jazeera so first of all just tell us a little bit about this particular delivery we've already heard that some items were removed but what can you tell us about the aid that did manage to get in and crucially how you managed to distribute it. finally after weeks and weeks perhaps months of asking both parties to allow humanitarian aid in today we managed to enter a duma and provide the syrian arab red crescent warehouses with humanitarian aid basically food medical items and other items essential to help ease the suffering of people inside istanbul to about twenty seven thousand five hundred people will benefit from this convoy however this is not enough and we are continuing to ask for further convoys to be allowed in in the coming days so that we are able to to help more and more people who are desperately in need of

humanitarian aid and just explain to us i mean did you know in advance that some you know we were just hearing that a lot of medical supplies were taken out of the trucks before they were allowed through just explain to us you know the impact that that has and did you know in advance of that was going to happen. indeed some medical items were removed from the n. convoy however we managed as the international committee of the red cross and the syrian arab red crescent to bring inside urgently needed medicine to cure and to help basically patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension usually aid convoys are agreed upon with the parties involved and all items are inspected and checked and everything is basically checked before the trucks are loaded now unfortunately that this happened. the shouldn't happen surgical

items all medical items should be allowed and this is a right for people inside islam huta to receive humanitarian aid particularly medical aid because we've been saying that this is the urgent need today and a priority in terms of what needs to be distributed to people inside. the situation in any obviously dreadful do you have any idea any indication you think given of when the next a convoy might be allowed in we hope that it happens a soonest possible as i said today's delivery of aid only helps around twenty seven thousand five hundred people considering the amount of people inside is around four hundred thousand people according to reports this is a this is a little numbers a few amount of people that need help we need to be allowed further access repeated

access and safe and secure access so that we are able to help more and more of the thousands of people who await the urgently needed aid to reach the very very briefly right now you've had no indication of an extra livery as far as you know. as far as now no indication yet however we continue to work and to to push with all the a parties to reach an agreement to basically deliver in the roaming few days much more needed aid in. spokesperson for the international committee of the red cross or thank you. a surge and support for populist and far right parties in sunday's election has left italy in political deadlock the euro skeptic league party is the best performer among the dominant right wing coalition which has secured thirty seven

percent of the vote but the strongest single party result went to another populist movement the five star movement has that involve a reports from rome. just five years after they first got into parliament the five star movement the anti politicians party and the clear individual winners in italy's general election after a campaign that saw them vowed to fight corruption their vote share was more than ten points ahead of any other single party. on our thoughts and we are a political force that represents an entire nation but we can't say it is the same for the others which instead a more geographically based but this is very important because representing the entire nation projects us unavoidably towards governing the country. towards governing it and that by using vesa nearly done yet but to form a government they'd have to betray their promise not to go into a coalition. with. lego formally the northern league led by matteo salvini

also appended the established order with its hardline anti immigrant euro skeptic policies it would be the biggest player in a right wing coalition led by former premier silvio berlusconi but that group still falls short of being able to form a majority. salvini though insists the result is proof that italians fed up with the status quo digital cable. i read in brussels that some people are worried they are wrong european people with the italian vote have taken a step forward towards liberation. from clauses in cages which are bringing hunger job uncertainty and insecurity. but it. is. one of the clearest outcomes after five years in power the center left democratic policy have taken a hit but they are still the second biggest policy in the absence of any other solution they might stay on and governments until another voting system and

elections are organized to head the referendum. to change an institutional system and user friendly way of so now we will see for example water . pipes that move that want to do on these things because in the past they were against but now we are there we know about we were outnumbered meanwhile silvio berlusconi who had looked like be kingmaker in an extraordinary political comeback seems a diminished figure but it's really has a history of governments that don't last long and the next one may be no different . and the dean joins us live now from rome less than a team we heard a little bit there but what else have the winner is of this election been saying today. well barbara some of the leaders have been lying low. reins either leader of the democratic party was he to be speaking now

he's counseled vallance address of course we've heard from some of the figures we're hearing now that silvio berlusconi and matteo renzi those partners. salvini in the center right coalition are actually talking right now out of the residence of mr berlusconi the former prime minister but they also vini obviously feeling very very confident at the moment saying that it's his responsibility to try to form a government his party did better than berlusconi's for its at italia policy he believes he has momentum but so does luigi demaio the leader of the five star movement and similarly demaio says that because no coalition actually has a majority in the parliament building behind me that it's his responsibility to try to form a government he's always said he won't go into coalition so that seems extremely problematic but if he does change he's attitude some people think that the most

probable ally in fact to be your own z. of the center left something that many of the five star voters would really see as perhaps a betrayal of their movements attitudes to be a breath of fresh air if you like so lots and lots of uncertainty right now talks are going on but they're expected to perhaps take weeks yeah we're not likely to see a government anytime soon a lot of horse trading going on behind the scenes but with the results of these elections we do get a message though that the voters have sent a clear message to the political class and perhaps not just initially but in europe . absolutely the message is that there are certain issues which weren't being dealt with by by the censor left and by the censor rights notably immigration of course legere make that one of their main

campaigning themes and so vini has actually been been gaining ground by linking that as you heard in security read crime even though that's very disputed he has actually picked up votes from people who feel afraid of the number of foreigners here and he wants to deport hundreds of thousands of people the five star movement don't want to do that their main thing is the economy trying to guarantee of basic universal income but at the same time lowering taxes people question their ability to deliver as the question as they question the. ability to do what he says so who knows exactly what's going to happen but also who knows whether the government will be able to fulfill their promises that the villages from rome thank you and al jazeera investigation has revealed new evidence of saudi arabia the u.a.e. the egypt and bahrain has attempted to overthrow the qatari government in one thousand nine hundred ninety six and includes interviews with coup leaders who conspired to

a courtesy call from tampa most of all i will deliver president moon's firm will and resolve to achieve the denuclearization on the korean peninsula and create true and permanent peace even before the delegates left on their controversial trip it wasn't clear they would meet with the north korean leader but soon after their arrival they were hosted to a dinner that fact along with the seniority of the officials who welcomed the south koreans and their accommodation in an official guest house shows the importance north korea places on this trip according to seoul meetings between north and south are rare summit talks were held in two thousand at the height of the so-called sunshine policy period that brought the two koreas closer together then again in two thousand and seven but with north korea's missile development a nuclear program increasing in pace in recent years relations slumped to their

lowest and most dangerous point for decades. for many people in south korea just holding talks is a welcome change to the hostile rhetoric of the recent past but without a commitment from north korea that it's willing even to discuss giving up its nuclear arsenal many conservative groups have condemned these talks as meaningless past this visit is meant to lead to more talks between the two koreas that is certainly achievable it's fun less certain this mission can jumpstart talks between north korea and a skeptical united states they want a meeting to lead to denuclearization to north korea giving up its nuclear weapons and north korea has no intention of doing that so there's no likelihood that the united states and north korea would be meeting as a result of this this visit could prove in the long turn either to be important in the search for a negotiated solution or another false start in dealing with the north korean

celebrated figures in the history of british sport but bradley wiggins and his former cycling team have effectively been accused u.k. parliament of cheating the question by the ethics of the use of medicines particularly medicines are being used not primary to treat medical need but couldn't hold performance as well and what we're recommending from the report is that this grey area should be cleared up at the center of allegations is the mystery content of a package delivered to wigan jury in the criteria did off in a race in two thousand and eleven claimed by team sky to consign the decongestant for asthma and allergies the report says a year later he used an anti inflammatory performance enhancing drug to prepare for the biggest race in cycling the tour de france she won wiggins says he strongly refutes the climb any drug was used without medical need but that's not to deny all the drugs were performance enhancing team sky also says it strongly refutes the reports claim that their medication was to enhance performance but it's another clear contradiction of the epic set out by

team principle. that they'd have zero tolerance to doping another british olympic hero long distance champion my farah is accused by the reports of using a supplement for the twenty forty nine the mouth and that was legal but not recorded on his records there's a spotlight on the doctors involved in the opportunity to use these very powerful drugs is given you know if you like is a privilege those medical professionals so they do have a responsibility the prospect of action against those accused of cheating is slim and this was careful and sophisticated manipulation the damage to sports stars will be mainly reputational but these are people how doctors heroes and the trust in them and their sports is diminishing by the di. london. well it's the morning after the night before in hollywood as the home of the u.s. film industry wakes up after the oscars. ceremony top honors went to the shape of
