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. yes 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 in 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 stop getting us we were 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 hooter 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 then to. beirut well a short time ago i spoke to ralph. root he's a spokesperson for the international committee of the red cross after weeks and

weeks perhaps months of asking both parties to allow humanitarian aid and today we managed to enter a duma and provide the syrian arab red crescent warehouses with humanitarian aid basically food medical and other items essential to help ease the suffering of people inside. 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. a surge in 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 a 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 as an average ports from rome. just five years after they first got into parliament the five star movement the anti politicians party or the clear individual winners in italy's general election after a campaign that saw them valid to fight corruption their vote share was more than ten points ahead of any other single party. on the thoughts of what we are a political force that represents an entire nation and we can't say it is the same for the others which instead a more geographically based this is very important because representing the entire nation projects us unavoidably towards governing the country. towards governing italy that by is it best to go ahead and nearly done yet but to form a government they'd have to betray their promise not to go into

a coalition. formally the northern league led by matteo salvini also appended the established order with its hard line anti immigrant to 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. sell vini 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 the european people with the italian vote have taken a step forward towards liberation. from closes 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 we had the referendum in the last. to change in the situation on c.-span and these are friendly so now we will see for example water. pipes the mood i want to go on these things because in the past they were against but now. we are there we know about without the numbers meanwhile silvio berlusconi who had looked like big kingmaker in an extraordinary political comeback seems a diminished figure but it's really has a history of governments that don't last long last and the next one may be no different. when the team is live for us in rome and that the new report focuses on the winner is that the five star movement and the league but let's talk a little bit about the loser because there is one enormous blatant loser here and

that is what they are and see the former prime minister he's seen support for his party the democratic party pretty much have in the past four years that really had been lauded as the man who was going to revive revolutionize italy so what happened . that's right barbara let's just take our minds back a few years and he was being described in the same terms as money when my kong more recently in france this youthful figure who was going to shake up or a state system very the party the center left of a college party were on forty percent in the european election four years ago now that under twenty percent and they on of course still the second largest party we think in parliament so say but it's very embarrassing if very embarrassing for them and for matteo renzi who resigned because he failed to win a referendum on constitutional reforms back at the end of twenty sixteen handed

over to paolo gentil only as a caretaker prime minister but then he has been the man for the center left who would be prime minister if they managed to to win in these elections they have really taken a beating and we're hearing that in the next half an hour matteo renzi will give a press conference and there's speculation that he may indeed step down i think that really he he himself is a very unpopular figure in the the feeling is that perhaps if there are going to be protected talks between all the different parties which might lead to the democratic party still being part of a governing coalition then he needs to go he's not somebody that for example the five star movement would be prepared to work with but perhaps other figures might be barbara. with the latest from rome thank you. and how does their investigation has revealed new evidence of saudi arabia the u.a.e. egypt and bahrain is attempt to overthrow the qatari government in one thousand

nine hundred ninety six that includes interviews with coup leaders who conspired to remove had been hell e-file thousand e the father of the current emir of qatar who was then the country's leader the investigation comes eight months into a blockade against qatar by saudi arabia the u.a.e. behind and egypt the countries have accused of supporting terrorism a claim that cattle denies or are joined now by n.p.r.'s krieger was an assistant professor in the fan studies at king's college london thank you for being with us so in what way did these countries try to overthrow the country government back in ninety's so what they did is that was one year after the father me actually came to power in one thousand nine hundred five there was still a lot of turbulence within internally within qatar he hasn't really consolidated his power yet and what happened is that you had a conspiracy of bahrain the u.a.e. and saudi arabia who were bringing weapons bringing and basically also money to certain people within the intelligence community within the military were trying to

the plan was to actually infiltrate the palace take this young i mean hostage and then basically stage a coup d'etat and overthrow it and what would the reasons be multiple resign i think that you have to understand is within the context of the early one nine hundred ninety s. so first of all had been highly for just had come to power in one thousand nine hundred five within a bloodless coup within the palace against his father his father has been although having also similar difficulties with saudi arabia he generally been someone who was leaning towards saudi arabia he wasn't trying to alter the internal affairs and policies of qatar in the same way that his son i'm a been holy for the father mia was going to do so now you had this new me coming in with new ideas new policies policies new visions also for the country which were very much opposed to the absolutely conservative visions that saudi arabia had so he came in they wanted to take him out. and at the same time it was a great way of crying splitting up the pie if you will so here's a young here's a young country that was aspiring through

a natural gas that was rich that significantly growing influence as well in the region and it was a way for saudi arabia for the bahrain is end the immoralities to get rid of someone that they consider to be problematic the father mia and splitting up a potentially very wealthy country and taking the spoils it does suggest that the relationship between those countries and cat has always been complex how do you think that these revelations impact the situation we have right now with of course an ongoing blockade against kept out by these countries where we have to see this again within this has been a complex relationship qatar's always been somewhat the outsider within. the u.a.e. and because of the saudi arabia mostly for the reason that carter had a different vision they wanted to do something different from the big brother and particularly the nine hundred ninety that we're trying to get out of the umbrella of saudi influence and somewhat saudi bullying and what we see today in two thousand and seventeen as a continuation of a very long. history of saudi intervention in country affairs a way of trying to saudi trying to bully qatar into submission and qatar is now

standing up to it and said now says today in twenty seventeen or twenty eighteen we are more powerful than we were in the one nine hundred ninety s. were more able to also use our soft power that we weren't able to use in the one nine hundred ninety s. and the two thousands so it kind of is a continuation of an ongoing policy that has happened for many many years and the thing is the same people who are involved in the two thousand and seventeen crisis particularly mama busied the i would say somewhat the mastermind of the two thousand seven hundred crisis was already involved in that oil in one thousand nine hundred in one thousand nine hundred six in the cooler temps in qatar so for many ways it's a continuation of an ongoing attempt trying to bully qatar into submission and make it conform or even controlling it and instigating regime change and has create from king's college london thank you you thank. well so the count here on al-jazeera a south african food manufacturer under scrutiny as the w.h.o. points i deadly listeria outbreak is the largest in recorded history plus.

i'm wayne hay on board the u.s. aircraft carrier the count vinson which is on a symbolic visit to vietnam but it's also carrying a message to china. hello there the weather is looking a little quieter across the middle east over the next few days still a little bit of cloud just rolling out of the black sea from turkey just pushed out it was a caspian sea even though too much wet weather to speak of as we go on through the next dial so there will be some sal as of maybe some snow over the high ground into turkey pushing a little further east was through georgia edging towards armenia further south it's generally settled and sunny and more of that sunshine as we go on through wednesday twenty celsius and by very best not bad twenty seven the in baghdad meanwhile

a reminder of the top stories now on al-jazeera a u.n. aid convoy has entered the besieged syrian rebel held enclave of eastern kuta but two thirds of the convoys that medical supplies were confiscated before was even allowed passed on checkpoints if he appears to be headed for political deadlock

after sunday's election provided no clear winner populist and far right parties surged in supports mainly at the expense of the traditional a center left block and then al-jazeera investigation has revealed a new evidence of the saudi arabia the u.a.e. egypt and bahrain attempt to overthrow the cattery government in one nine hundred ninety six. u.s. president donald trump is currently entertaining israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu at the white house let's cross now to our white house correspondent kimberly how who is outside the white house as we speak as so kimberly why is he there and do we know what they're talking about. right well the israeli prime minister arrived just in the last few moments we know that they will be appearing in the oval office within the hour and then that tape should be played back so we are expecting some comments but in terms of why this meeting is happening while the israeli prime minister is here to speak to the largest israeli lobby group in the

united states a pact that takes place on tuesday so this is a bit of a check in between two old friends but at the same time it's two old friends that are both in their respective countries facing investigations allegations accusations sort of amidst this sort of backdrop that the two have a couple of issues that really will take the forefront when they hold their discussions and also working lunch with their wives the first is the issue of iran the second the very stalled peace process between the israelis and the palestinians now when it comes to iran both leaders have made no secret about their frustration with the iran nuclear deal donald trump even suggesting that it needs to perhaps even be torn up and is urging european leaders and allies to fix it but the big point of contention among these leaders that they feel is the problem with their this agreement is in fact that they feel that is not long enough in terms of duration and also does not address iran's ballistic missile program there's also

concern about iran's growing influence in syria something that israel says is certainly in the forefront of their concerns when it comes to israeli security when it comes to the stalled peace process well certainly that has been complicated by the actions of the united states namely the declaration of jerusalem is israel's capital that of course has led to the palestinians no longer viewing the u.s. as capable or an honest broker in negotiating talks and looking to the international community add to that you have the complication of gerrard cushion or donald trump's son in law who has been sort of orchestrating or leading this. mid east policy plan which has been very thin to almost no details at all but the fact that he has lost his security clearance for such a high level and sensitive portfolio is certainly adding to the complication so it is amidst all of this this drama of the scandal investigations that these two

leaders will be meeting to discuss some very important topics of growing and great concern on the world stage well kimberly we'll check in with you again when the two leaders actually reveal what they spoke about for the moment kimberly halkett at the white house thank you. south korean officials have met north korea's leader kim jong un for the first time since he took power at the end of two thousand and eleven that meeting at a banquet dinner in pyongyang comes at the start of a two day visit that will focus on averting nuclear conflict and restarting talks with washington from mcbride has more now from seoul. from seoul with smiles south korea's delegation heads north hoping to build on the goodwill momentum generated at the winter olympics when a high level north korean delegation attended the games as guests of south korean president moon jane jones sister of north korean leader kim jong un hand delivered

the invitation to visit pyongyang from her brother south korea hopes this will be more than just a courtesy call. most of all i will deliver president 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 welcome 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 all 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 fasts 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
