difference in people's lives i'm amazed every day by reporting on al-jazeera and the places that my colleagues go it inspires me to take a different approach to how i report use your. al-jazeera. and for your. russia offers safe passage out of besieged east in the halls of government fighters and their families. this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up high hopes for

a summit between north and south korea after the apparent success of talks in pyongyang absolutely unacceptable canada rejects the u.s. president's proposed tariffs on steel imports and a cold war style mystery is a former russian spy lies critically ill in a british hospital. russia's military has offered to guarantee safe passage out of syria as these to alter for rebel fighters and their families russia's backing a syrian government offensive in the rebel held district which saw at least eighty people killed on monday it was the deadliest day since the u.n. adopted a cease fire resolution russia order the daily pools in fighting the pause was supposed to allow people to leave but that hasn't happened. all the joins us live from beirut in neighboring lebanon so are people taking advantage now of this safe

passage offer from the russians. well the russian military telling the rebels that the key is in your hands if you decide to surrender and leave and we're offering you protection even transportation you can leave with your families then the bombing campaign ends now like i mentioned the key you know putting the key in the hands of the rebels telling them that you are responsible for the deaths of civilians you are responsible for not reaching the people and the people really suffering immensely inside eastern there's still no response yet from the rebels the russians made this offer just a short while ago i'm still not sure whether or not the rebels will accept this as . at least for the time being because they're not really under a lot of military pressure at the moment yes the civilians are the ones who have been suffering but the rebels are in a very comfortable position they've lost territory in the east but what they've lost is farmlands and small towns we have to remember if we want to compare this to what happened in aleppo it took a while before the rebels said ok fine we're laying down their arms and we're

leaving and that is when the government surrounded them in a very small pocket of territory inside aleppo city that still hasn't happened so the pro-government alliance if you look at their military campaign on the ground what they're trying to do is surround the main towns the towns of duma the towns of mr rob. and they're hoping by doing this they cut the rebel lines and they put a lot of pressure on the rebels and then that is when they usually say ok we surrender. and the aid convoy had to pull out didn't say enough to just make their thanks for the eyes of going back and. what we understand from the united nations is that they were planning to deliver more supplies on thursday but like you mentioned that aid convoy just staying for a few hours it wasn't able to offload all the supplies in fact ten trucks were not able to be emptied because of the shelling u.n. officials saying the situation for civilians inside eastern huta is tragic and it's

not just that seventy percent of the supplies that were loaded trauma kits surgical supplies things that are really really needed in eastern huta they were not allowed to enter the government to remove them from the trucks and they've done this in the past it's a systematic almost because they believe that these supplies can be used to treat rebels who are wounded in the fighting so people inside eastern with they're saying this is not enough the aid is not enough they're calling on the international community to do something they've been criticizing the silence of the international community and wondering why after the u.n. security council adopted she's higher resolution that resolution is not implemented . from beirut thanks for that. north korean state media says kim jong un wants to advance relations unease military tension with south korea has hosted a south korean envoy can yank the south korean delegation traveled north for two days of talks focused on averting nuclear war bride has more from seoul one of

the biggest achievements of this mission will be seen as the agreement that has apparently been reached moving forward towards a summit involving president moon j.n. of south korea that was one of the main reasons for sending the delegation north the announcement that an agreement has apparently been reached came at a banquet hosted by kim jong un and his wife that in itself was seen as a landmark the first time that kim has met officials from south korea we're still waiting to get more details on what a summit will look like but there is a lot at stake given the advancement of north korea on its missile and nuclear program and one j.n. of south korea says that all of this is a denuclearizing the north korean peninsula but critics have argued that north korea seems to be so close to gaining a long range nuclear missile that it is almost inconceivable that it would concede

anything on the nuclear front the other reason for this mission to take place is to advance a possible dialogue between north korea and the united states so far on that front we have heard nothing. calendar says u.s. plans for tariffs on steel and alimony and imports are absolutely unacceptable prime minister justin trudeau told donald trump tariffs will hinder renegotiations of the north american free trade agreement the latest trade deal talks have ended in mexico city with little success john holliman explains. even from three thousand kilometers away washington d.c. president trump managed to open the seventh round of nafta negotiations we are renegotiating nafta as i said i work and if we don't make a deal terminate nafta that would be i would imagine one of the points that we're going to go she added will be tariffs on steel for canada and for mexico. he

a fair bit of flooding here as we go on through the next few days and that western weather that wintry weather nudging across town very in play it will remain yes still some bits of snow nothing a little further more which up towards germany poland and into ukraine warming up in moscow i'm honest five if we can call that warmer weather nice celsius in london eight degrees there for paris still bits and pieces of cloud and rain rolling in ten celsius largely dry for spying on wednesday but that is cloud and rain down towards the far southwest. the weather sponsored by qatar and he's. paid the scene for us when they're on line what is a very nice time in yemen that peace is always possible but it never happens not because the situation is calm but because no one cares or if you join us on sat there are people there are choosing between buying medication and eating this is a dialogue i want to get in one more comment because this is someone who is an activist and has posted

treatment. district hospital they were. said to be receiving treatment in an intensive care unit although over night we've heard no news of any change having gone inside the hospital this morning there is absolutely no police presence here whatsoever we are expecting updates from police a little later on and never simply in a situation where a former russian spy is exposed to an unknown an unnamed contaminant it does draw speculation and of course parallels are being made between the poisoning of alexander litvinenko the former f.s.b. officer back in two thousand and ten who claim that he'd been poisoned by a radioactive substance polonium two ten under the orders of the kremlin and president vladimir putin the police here are asking the media of the public not to draw their own conclusions from what has happened here they say there is no public risk of contamination there have been sites of specialist offices in biohazard

suits in the center of the city around the park bench where the two individuals were found i am here in the hospital but the situation now is very calm there appears to be no risk to the public although one restaurant in the center of songs of three did close its doors and they said that they were shutting as a precaution more information those expected as the day progresses. a surge in support for populist and far right parties in sunday's elections has left italy once again in political deadlock the euro skeptic league party has been the best performer among a group of right wing parties collectively they won thirty seven percent of the strongest single party was another populist movement five star with thirty two percent the embalmer 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. more. 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. leggo formally the northern league led by 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 are fed up

with the status quo which. 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 and can close in cages which are bringing hunger job uncertainty and insecurity. 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 in the last . to change an institutional system and these are free and so now we will see for example water. pipes them all they want to do on these things because they were against but now we are there 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 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 nadine barber al-jazeera wrote people in venezuela are commemorating the fifth anniversary of former president bush advises death leaders of latin american countries that are part of an anti u.s. block or among those attending the events in caracas the presidents of bolivia and nicaragua phrase chavez's legacy and israel is suffering from an economic crisis that's forced thousands of people to flee to neighboring countries thousands of teachers have gone on a forty eight hour strike in argentina on the first day of school they marched towards their education ministry to demand more supplies new schools and higher

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 cover in one word. iraq iran has not given up its nuclear ambitions 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 israelis for more support against iraq.
