poverty and desperation sweep across ruhi just settlements women and girls are being bought and sold and given away in refugee camps when east investigates yet another dark sign of the real hinge a crisis at this time on al jazeera. al jazeera where every. day trucks are finally allowed into eastern ghouta in syria shelling forces them to cut short their mission. hello i'm mariama mozzie in london you're watching al-jazeera coming to anti

establishment parties on the right to govern after elections leave the country facing a hung parliament. uncovers evidence the country's current blockading couto were involved in a coup attempt against it in one thousand nine hundred six and a russian spy is critically ill in hospital in the u.k. after being exposed to an unknown substance. in a convoy finally allowed into the besieged syrian rebel held and. has cut short its mission amid shelling nine of the forty six trucks left without being unloaded and before being allowed past army checkpoints most of the convoys medical supplies were confiscated ongoing syrian and russian air attacks have killed almost seventy two people in the past twenty four hours. and a warning you may find images in this story disturbing. it's the first time aid

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 kits 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. there yeah. 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 spite 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 the 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 displace the people of eastern water 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 provision 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 area that has been under siege before here is an area that doesn't receive aid regularly whatever aid does reach those trapped inside it will help but it is far from enough. to get. the international committee of the red cross in beirut said more convoys are badly needed. after weeks and weeks perhaps months of asking both parties to allow humanitarian aid and

today we managed to enter dumas 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. 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. we go to italy now where a surge in support for populist and far right parties in sunday's election has left the country in political deadlock no party got enough votes to govern alone meaning long negotiations to form a new coalition now lie ahead results so far give the center right coalition about thirty seven percent of the vote eighteen percent of that for the anti immigrant

right wing league party the and his stablish been a five star movement was the biggest party with some thirty two percent while the center left coalition languishes behind on twenty three percent between them the five star movement and league have the fifty percent required to govern italy both of calls for greater spending on welfare a rejection of the e.u. deficit rules and a crackdown on illegal immigration jaring the campaign the five star movement ruled out joining a coalition but thirty one year old leader who each day my own now says it's open to talks that baba reports from rome. just five years after they first got into parliament the five star movement the anti politicians party the clear individual winners of italy's general election after a campaign that saw the balance of fight corruption the vote share was more than ten points ahead of any other single party. when i felt we are a political force that represents an entire nation is that we can say it is the

same for the others which instead of more geographically biased this is very important because representing the entire nation projects us unavoidably towards governing the country. towards governing it that by is best. done. 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 nancy immigrants 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 closes in cages which are bringing hunger job uncertainty and insecurity. but it could be. a sequel to. one of the clearest outcomes after five years in power the center left democratic party's popularity has slumped and on monday matteo renzi stepped down as party leader. but they are still the second biggest party in the absence of any other solution they might stay on in government until another voting system and elections are organized we had the referendum. to change an institution and see it and the way and so now we will see for example water. pipes that want to want to go on these things because they were against it but now. we know about without the numbers meanwhile silvio berlusconi who had looked like be kingmaker in an extraordinary political comeback seems

a diminished figure. it's clear that many italians center message in this election that they were unhappy with the state of politics here what's not clear is he's going to be in power in the short term and literally has a history of governments that don't last long the next one may be no difference between bob al-jazeera wrote. under my monet is a lecturer in modern european history at royal holloway university of london and an analyst on far right politics in year at it predicts the five star movement will betray its campaign promise and look to form a coalition well it depends if frenzy is out of the game because he resigned but still resign but without resigning really so i want to wait and there's a new government taking place he frenzies really out of the game that his forty's pushing him out in some ways i think that the five star movement with good part of it will try to. a majority with the center left and the left at large because i

think that for them is much better to be alive with this and left rather than with the north because it will be extra very extreme such a coalition and the thing that it does not necessarily work in favor of the five star the five star movement in a strained movement them in is like there are many people there are different souls within it so you have left these people and also right wing people naturally some of them would like to be on our side the other on the other side but their movement as no as no majority. an al-jazeera investigation has revealed new evidence of saudi arabia the u.a.e. egypt and bahrain's attempt to overthrow the qatari government in one thousand nine hundred six this includes interviews with coup leaders who conspired to michelle hunted and highly for funny the father of the current in the air of cata it was then the country's leader investigation comes eight months into

a blockade against by the same countries they've accused of supporting terrorism a claim catarrh tonight's address craig who is an assistant professor in defense studies at king's college london has more on the background to the attempted coup you have to understand as within the context of the early one nine hundred ninety s. so first of all has 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 media coming in with new ideas new policy 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 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 in the a mirage is to get rid of someone that they consider to be problematic the father mir and splitting up potentially very wealthy country and taking the spoils. there are reports of businessmen with links to the united arab emirates trying to get the u.s. president to fire the secretary of state for not supporting the u.a.e. against cata the b.b.c. says it has e-mails that show elliott brody who is also a major fundraiser for donald trump asked the president to sack rex tillerson last october roslyn jordan has more from washington. the upshot of these latest reports on what two u.s. based business men may or may not have been doing in terms of lobbying the trumpet ministration is this the special counsel's investigation into whether russia had anything to do to try to throw the two thousand and sixteen presidential election as well as to exert influence on u.s.

foreign policy once donald trump became president apparently is now covering whether other countries might have been doing the same thing there are a number of reports now out suggesting that two businessmen george nader and elliott brody both try to influence the trumpet ministration in twenty seventeen to actually take a harder line against the government of qatar as well as to try to get rid of the u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson all of this in a way to basically try to bolster the u.a.e. as efforts to expand its political influence across the gulf region and across the greater middle east now there have been a lot of back and forth about what u.s. foreign policy particularly in the middle east should be and certainly with the june fifth blockade imposed against the state of qatar there have been a lot of questions about whether the trumpet ministration is actually standing by

or harming a longtime national security ally in the gulf region so this really does raise the specter of whether the investigation is broadening and whether any persons both within the united states and outside the united states might find themselves in legal jeopardy because of it. you're watching al-jazeera still to come donald trump discusses middle east peace and the iran nuclear deal during a visit from the israeli prime minister and a sow's to korean delegation meets north korean leader kim jong un is the first high profile visit from sowing eleven yes. hello there we've had some heavy rain over queensland over the last few days it's all thanks to this area of cloud here it's remained over the top of us over the

past couple of days and it's going to stick with us over the next few days as well it's given us continuous heavy rain in some places which in the long term is very good news because we are in a drought but in the short time clearly is giving us a few problems getting about now as we head through the next few days as i say that rain will continue with this but it's just going to drift a little bit further towards the south so for some of us in south australia it also looks like it's going to turn a bit wet and as we head into wednesday meanwhile towards the west of perth it's been pretty hot so recently but the temperatures won't be quite so high as we head into wednesday i think they'll be maxing at around thirty three degrees over towards new zealand and we've won weather system those pushing its way across the south island at the moment that's giving us a fair amount of clouds and a few breaks of rain is also what that warm to the south of eighty this so we're looking at seventeen in christchurch but in oakland in the sunshine will be a part of around twenty five changes though as we head into wednesday that system pushes its way northward and then for current we'll be seeing that wet weather if

we head further north for us in japan things are calming down now i should be fine unsettled as we head through the next few days tokyo only eight. they watch us. they gather evidence but so can we. an american cyber activist develops an app used in brazil to monitor police. we have more cameras than they do because the fee for a bigger brother. level peaks. this time on a just see it up.

welcome back a quick recap of the top stories this hour an aid convoy finally allowed into into the besieged rebel held enclave of eastern ghouta has cut short its mission amid shelling around seventy percent of the convoys medical supplies were confiscated before it was allowed passed on the checkpoints former italian prime minister mattel renzi has resigned after his democratic party's poor showing in sunday's election far right in populist parties including the five star movement the whenas and an al-jazeera investigation has revealed new evidence of saudi arabia the u.a.e. egypt and bahrain's attempt to overthrow the country government in one thousand nine hundred six. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has met with u.s. president donald trump at the white house among the key discussion points during his two day u.s. trip ah the embassy move to jerusalem the war in syria and the iran nuclear deal it

explains. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and u.s. president donald trump smiled broadly in their white house meeting despite both being embroiled in scandal netanyahu wasted no time turning the attention to the u.s. president for his decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital should proceed this will be remembered for people throughout the ages netanyahu is in washington in advance of his address on tuesday before the largest israeli lobby group of the us apac but netanyahu made it clear he was also seeking u.s. support for what he sees as israel's greatest security challenge to corruption one would. be wrong iran has not given up its nuclear ambitions to come out of this nuclear deal with rich both netanyahu and trump have. made no secret of

their loathing of the twenty fifteen agreement agreed on by the u.s. and the other world powers with iran to limit tehran's nuclear program both believe the agreements duration is too short and is weakened by the fact it does not address iran's ballistic missile program. there's also shared concern over what they believe is iran's rising influence and a desire for a permanent presence in syria israelis for more support against a wrong. talk big against iran but he is very very little in the u.s. president has also talked about striking a peace deal between the israelis and palestinians trumps jerusalem declaration in december infuriated palestinian leaders they're now calling on the international community to negotiate a deal not the u.s. a point the president seems to have ignored the palestinians i think you are

wanting to come back to the table for the very big. if they don't you don't have peace if you don't have peace if they don't you don't have peace and that's a possibility also i'm not saying it's going to happen indeed donald trump's mideast peace efforts are almost nonexistent still he said on monday he may now himself go to israel to open the new u.s. embassy in jerusalem kimberly help at al-jazeera washington. well the developments the u.s. president is coming under fire from members of his own policy about his plans to impose heavy tariffs on steel an aluminum imports canada and mexico are the top four countries the u.s. imports it steal from and trump hinted that he might waive the tariffs for them but only if they can see ground in the north american free trade agreement talks which have been taking place in mexico city. we are renegotiating nafta as i said i would and if we don't make a deal terminate nafta but if i do make

a deal which is fair to the workers and to the american people that would be i would imagine one of the points that will negotiate it will be tariffs on steel for canada and for mexico. there is john heilemann has been at this nafta talks in mexico city to now the negotiations on nafta the free trade agreement that links mexico the united states and canada have been donated by things like car parts and workers' salaries but that really abruptly changed in the seventh round of these negotiations and that happened because president trump announced that he wanted to put tariffs on steel and other million coming in from other countries to the united states and that seemed to throw everything into confusion now president trump said that he could exempt those two countries from those tariffs if they gave him and his administration what he wanted in these nafta negotiations in the final press conference of the talks of this seven frowned at the committee canadian foreign

minister came out quite strongly saying that canada that was completely unacceptable to canada putting those tariffs on canadian still and they would act appropriately protect canadian workers the mexican economic minister didn't actually mention still in his speech and he seemed to be trying to calm things down to smooth things over saying that there had been progress met and that maybe reflects mexico's bargaining power in these negotiations over nafta it's very much a junior partner compared to kind of and to the united states now the u.s. trade and voice lighthouse was quite negative an ominous lee said well we can't work all of this out the way it may be the way forward is just bilateral trade between these two countries and that's really quite ominous because these talks have been. ragging on the successive rounds with no end or any sort of real compromise in saw as year. meanwhile as many as forty mexican politicians have been

killed since december in the lead up to this is general elections most of the victims have been local mayors or candidates in july's faute drug gangs are suspected of using violence to influence and intimidate politicians over twenty three thousand people murdered in two thousand and seventeen making it mexico's bloodiest year since records began. a russian former double agent is critically ill in the u.k. hospital after reportedly being exposed to an unknown substance sixty six year old sergey script and a woman in her thirty's being treated by doctors often they were found unconscious on a bench in the town of salt spray in southern england scriptural has been living there since two thousand and ten charlie angela has more. police here are calling this a major incident and the two individuals are in critical condition in intensive care where hospital workers are working on diagnosing and treating them as quickly as possible the sixty six year old man has been identified as surrogate cripple

a russian national and former colonel in the russian military intelligence who in two thousand and six was convicted on charges of espionage and jailed for thirteen years it seems that he had been supplying u.k. intelligence service m i six with the identity of undercover russian agents operating in europe but in twenty ten he was released as part of a spy swap deal orchestrated with the united states he was flown to the u.k. and is since been living here probably keeping a low profile and given a new identity by m i six will this use of an unknown known substance does remind us of the case of alexander litvinenko a former russian spy turned british citizen who in two thousand and six was poisoned here in london it turns out he had been exposed to radioactive polonium he became gravely ill and died three weeks later not before accusing president putin

of his murder a government inquiry take that took place under the u.k. authority found that president putin had probably sanctioned the murder of alexander litvinenko and that incident led to a souring of relations between russia and u.k. obviously this incident it's too early to tell if we're looking at something similar but the speculation is there. the convicted killer known as carlos the jackal is back in court in paris over a grenade attack in one nine hundred seventy four that killed two people illiterate mira's sanchez is appealing a life sentence he was given last year he's already serving two life sentences for other attacks now sixty eight the venezuelan was once one of the world's most wanted fugitives he carried out multiple attacks in the one nine hundred seventy s. and eighty's in support of palestinian liberation before being captured in one thousand nine hundred four. the treasurer to the vatican has appeared at a course in melbourne the head of his four week trial for his story sex offenses

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. but many people in south korea are 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 moving with 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 term neither to be important in the search for a negotiated solution or another false start in dealing with the north korean crisis but look rogers era so. a major car factory in the u.k. has stopped production because of a shortage of water jaguar land rover in solihull has turned off its machines to accuse demand on the water supply it follows freezing weather last week which busts a large number of pipes in the region jaguar land rover says it doesn't know when production will resume. when last week's freezing weather in the u.k.
