you know one of the gang stop some vehicles on the road that can deal with what was risking it all guinea at this time on al jazeera as poverty and desperation sweep across or he just settlements women and girls are being bought and sold and given away in refugee camps one on one east investigates yet another dark side of the real hinge a crisis at this time on al-jazeera. humanitarian aid convoys forced to turn back from the syrian and. is. also coming up. to an

unknown. in the polls. and. because of an escalation and facing the red cross says aid workers are safe and most of the forty trucks of. the world health organization says around seventy percent of medical supplies were blocked by the government. was the first since. seven hundred people have been killed and the government intensified its offensive more than two weeks ago. how to report on

a warning some of you may find images and this story disturbing. it's the first time. since the latest offensive began just two weeks ago. on the trucks. inspection. it's not the first time syrian government officials have prevented. surgical supplies from reaching areas they have been systematically removed from aid convoys in the past to prevent rebel fighters. 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 warplanes 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. i 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 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 huda 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 the eastern world you have no business here and neither does your head but you shouldn't be opening recorded doors for us tonight or you should just 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 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 there's it's almost spokeswoman for the united nations office for the coronation of

humanitarian affairs in syria she says there's still hope medical supplies will get . convoy still contains nutrition supplies somehow supplies along with food for over twenty seven thousand people in need so this is of course we are extremely disappointed that many lifesaving health supply were not allowed to be loaded but we also have a follow up conway on thursday and we hope that we both medical supplies will be able to be loaded. in the rest of and the rest of the supplies that are destined for duma as we had said earlier the full package is for somebody's mouth and people in need in dumas but this is far from enough we haven't been able to reach the school on a regular basis the last time was on the fourteenth of february and before that had been over some of the days that we had not been able to reach the school we continued to deliver assistance to millions of people a month in in all areas and wherever we have access you know we're ready to provide

the full the full package of humanitarian assistance to people in need this includes things like food medicine water and sanitation supplies and shelter items these are people don't need just you know certain types of things they need many types of things and the other thing in addition to supplies is that we need regular access so that we can assess what the situation is on the ground and that we can better inform the type of the systems that we're bringing in a former russian spy is critically ill in hospital in the u.k. offer a post a bank space to an unknown substance six to take shows a scuffle and a woman and have fatties a both in intensive care found unconscious on a bench in a shopping center in the town of stones very careful of been living in these cases twenty ten after being freed from a russian jail and a spy swap this has not been declared as a counterterrorism incident and we would urge people not to speculate. however i

must emphasize that we retain an open mind and we continue to review this position we have access to a wide range of specialist resources and services that are helping us to understand what we are or aren't dealing with at this time the focus at this moment in trying to establish what has caused these people to become critically ill and we are working with partners to prioritize this diagnosis and ensure that they receive the most appropriate and timely treatment charlie and 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. 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 or 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 that yes president donald trump is considering attending the opening of the american embassy in jerusalem in may it's a controversial move that could further inflame tensions over peace negotiations with palestine has been holding talks with israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu at the white house their fifth meeting in a year can be held at reports. 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 disapproves of this be remembered by our people throughout the ages netanyahu is in washington

in advance of his address on tuesday before the largest israeli lobby group in the us a pack but netanyahu made it clear he was also seeking u.s. support for what he sees as israel's greatest security challenge the two cups. were . iraq. is not giving up its nuclear ambitions that came out of this nuclear deal and 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. is also shared concern over what they believe is iran's rising influence and a desire for a permanent presence in syria israel. support against iraq.

talk. very very little to 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 are wanting to come back to the table for the very. if they don't you don't have peace and 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 us embassy in jerusalem can really help get al-jazeera washington there is senior political analyst mangeshkar says trump is

sending mixed signals it's either deception or delusion i can't see a third explanation to what president has said because number one everyone in the region everyone in the world with the exception of what the mullah thinks that this is such a horrible idea it's it's illegal according to seoul money and it would definitely escalate and in danger. the security within the region and would certainly not lead to peace the other thing that is kind of midsomer rising is that when trump recognizes jerusalem as a city as a result the american diplomat said this does not change anything still the final starts of jerusalem is up to the parties the negotiating yet he once again just told us that he took it off the table that it's no longer an issue of discussion so which is it is it an issue of discussion or is it no longer to discussion and last

point i mean if it's just as simple as to stick it out why don't we take the nuclear issue out of the iranian american. relations and this where they would have peace. they seem else just a businessman with links to the united arab emirates reportedly tried to convince the us president to sack his secretary of state the e-mail seen by the b.b.c. found that elliot brody a major trump fundraiser wanted rex tillerson fired for not supporting the usa against castro in the current blockade going to the e-mails pretty advised to continue his support for the u.a.e. and saudi arabia and want him against getting involved in there with cattle he told trant to fire to listen at a politically convenient time those in his repeatedly criticized the air sea and blockade the us saudi arabia bahrain egypt imposed on cattle nine months ago as they said revelation comes at a time when another white house regular and adviser george nader has reportedly

been questioned in the ongoing probe into trump's twenty sixteen election campaign . how is a professor of conflict resolution at george mason university he says the latest revolution revelation is only the tip of the iceberg and demonstrates the extent of the implements in u.s. policies this newly. showcases your element of the mind. wild client to have some influence in washington one need to. invest so much if we remember the all that leaks of the investor in washington back in june good is no this over confidence that they can have their way into the u.s. administration and to the extent that. they were trying to get a little stimulus and because of his position toward the goal of groceries at the same time what is

a lot of mean here is not an act of regular or natural law being that is part of the game in washington but it's rather you have to asian it's. neither who was trying to establish. between trump and mohammed have been somewhere in new york or in new jersey so this is not a fish line of diplomacy small of shadow or weak kind of connection so we're still looking at the top of the iceberg and i think what is insulting here is how someone. was pushing. out. on al-jazeera a south korean delegation mixed north korean leader kim jong un as the first high profile visit from seoul in eleven years. and both want to become the latest

country to ban south african meat imports after listeria outbreak and eight hundred eighty lives. through tranquil arabian cameos. in affiliation. hello there is much colder now for many of us in eastern china for us in shanghai the temperature will only be around ten degrees as we head through the next couple of days for to say though it should be dry this area of rain staying out towards the west but as we head into wednesday it will be galloping its way towards the so many of us here are going to see some heavy rain reaching us in shanghai probably late all minds day and into thursday even further towards the south and there's plenty of showers here will showing up very nicely on the satellite picture in the northern half of where there's more in the way of drawing weather and that's how things are going to stay as we head through chews

day and into wednesday as well for the south always more showers hit the north a better chance of getting away with a dry day but even in the north it's not going to be completely dry i think for some of us in the northern parts of thailand there's a chance we could see some rather violent thunderstorms out towards the west largely fine and dry for many of us across pakistan and into india just a bit of cloud there over pakistan might just squeeze out the arch out but i think by and large it will be giving us some gray a conditions rather of the wet conditions towards the east that we more in the way of what weather and snow there over poles in a pool but it is trying to pull away as we head into wednesday and things that will be drawing up here in doha the temperature is rising i think as we head into tuesday and wednesday we're looking at a top temperature of around thirty. there with sponsored by the time he's. a survivor of the genocide there are people who beg me to kill them when they're suffering but i didn't have the heart has dedicated his life to searching the woods for bones of the victims of the srebrenica massacre. that will in the future is to

go. you know hope of finally laying the past to rest and giving peace to the victims' families because in egypt if i could just find a think about how i could bury her own hunter at this time on al-jazeera. and again you're watching al-jazeera has reminder of our top stories this hour an aid convoys being forced to retreat from syria's besieged eastern ghouta region due to an escalation in fighting the red cross says aid workers a safe and most of the forty trucks have been unloaded the world health organization says around seventy percent of medical supplies were blocked by the

government. of all russian spies been admitted to hospital in the u.k. after reportedly being exposed to an unknown substance sixty six year old surrogate scriptural and a woman in her thirty's are both critically ill in intensive care at cripple has been living and bushland since the spy swap in twenty ten. new evidence as the most suggesting a business been with links to the united arab emirates tried to convince the us president to sack his american secretary of state police e-mails obtained by the b.b.c. found elliot brody a major trump fundraiser wanted rex tillerson out for not supporting the blockade against. a surge in support for populist and far right parties in sunday's election that's left as lee once again in political deadlock very skeptically policy has been the best performer among a group of right wing parties closely they won thirty seven percent but the strongest single policy was another populist movement five start with thirty two

percent 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 valve's to fight corruption their vote share was more than ten points ahead of any other single party. or a political force that represents an entire nation 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 yes it protects us unavoidably towards governing the country towards governing. 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 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 encloses in cages which are bringing hunger job uncertainty and insecurity. one of the clearest outcomes of the 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 governments until another voting system and elections are organized we had the referendum in the last year to change in the situation on c.-span and these are three of them so now we will see for example water with the pipes that move they want to do on these things

because in the past they were it gays but now we are there we know about without the numbers meanwhile silvio berlusconi who had looked like the king maker in an extraordinary political comeback seems a diminished figure it's clear that many italians sent a 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 italy has a history of governments that don't last long the next one may be no difference between barber al-jazeera wrote well as we said results so far get the center right coalition around thirty seven percent of the vote eighteen percent of that for the anti immigrant right wing league party and to stablish spent five star movement was the biggest party was some thirty two percent on the center left coalition languages behind on twenty three percent between the five stars in the league have

the fifty percent needed to govern both have called for greater spending on welfare and injection of e.u. deficit rules and a crackdown on illegal immigration during the campaign the five star movement ruled out joining a coalition the leader thirty one year luigi de mayo now says it's open to talks. and where monet as a lecturer in modern european history at the university of london and a specialist on the european far right he expects the five star movement will betray its campaign promise and go into a coalition by aligning with the center left well it depends if friends result 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 you frenzies really out of the game that his forty's pushing him out some ways i think that the five star movement will at least good part of it will try to. a majority with the center left and the left at large because i think that for them it's much better to be allied with the same left

rather than with the north because it would be extreme very extreme such a coalition and the thing that it did not necessarily work in favor of the five star the five star movement in a strange movement them in these like there are many people there are different souls within it so you have leftist people and also right wing people naturally some of them would like to be on our side the other on the other side but the movement has no as no majority. of korean state media is reporting leader kim jong un wants to advance relations an easement retentions with south korea after meeting with officials from seoul at a banquet dinner kim jong un hosted the south korean envoys at the ruling party willing workers party headquarters in pyongyang high level south korean delegation has traveled north for two days of talks focused on a versing and you clear conflict but mcbride has more 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 j.n. jiang 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 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 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 the search for a negotiated solution or another false start in dealing with the north korean crisis of macbride al jazeera souls. but health organization says the current listeria outbreak in south africa is the largest in recorded history one hundred eighty people have died in the past year. and mozambique a band mate imports from south africa malcolm webb has more. this is the food company whose products the government says are responsible for the listeria outbreak they make all kinds of meat products which can be found in supermarkets all over south africa they're affordable to most south africans this outlet now

source of its industrial food production that enabled it to spread so far contamination occurs during processing and further manufacture because you've got mass production of it on industrial scales environmental contamination with in a processing plant can result in contamination of. a significant number of products there are then distributed far and wide and eaten by many potentially at risk people it's here in so wetter than in townships like this across the country that the products are most popular takeaways like this one resign. thousands of new south africa people like to come here to buy sausages and other processed meat products. it would have been removed the company's recalled all its products south africans are now hoping the outbreak can be brought on the control that nobody else will die. of teachers have gone on
