since interest rate to sixty percent inflation souls and the currency tumbles. syria's foreign minister is threatening an assault province the last rebel held stronghold in syria while he says the army will do everything possible to avoid civilian deaths he was meeting his russian counterpart in moscow to discuss the events. this would be the decision of the syrian leadership is to if i tell news room front whatever the sacrifice is we are ready to exert every possible effort not to harm civilians. so that by doing it constitute a little for the relationship was with satisfaction that we know to the majority of the syrian arab republic is now freed of terrorists what we need now is to wipe out those terrorist groups which persist particularly in the deescalation zone you need
8:02 pm
to live meanwhile we've got russia's ministry of defense saying it's going to hold major naval exercises in the mediterranean sea starting saturday remember the u.s. has warned of retaliation if syrian government forces were to attack opposition areas with chemical weapons and you've got this man as well the u.n. special envoy to syria stephan de mistura has called for a humanitarian corridor to be set up to allow civilians to leave we will hear from them harder in beirut in just a moment first there were challenges covering events from moscow. well the language coming from moscow has been hardening in recent days when discussing it there has been a succession of foreign ministers coming here to talk with foreign minister lavrov we've had the turkish foreign minister the saudi foreign minister and earlier on the syrian foreign minister all of them putting their case essentially. moscow it seems has decided that there will be some sort of military assault on
8:03 pm
it it's just a question of when that will be and how severe it will be the turkish foreign minister was very clear when he came here that turkey wanted more time to be given to a process of trying to separate the groups like. from the civilian population that's something that that moscow is open to as well the turkish say that they already have three million refugees inside their borders and an assault full bore assault on it could well create a new way for a new surge a humanitarian crisis that would push more refugees and to turkey destabilizing it even further it's going through a rocky patch right now. moscow is saying that it is open to say the request from under mr a from the united nations of setting up humanitarian
8:04 pm
corridors but the belief i think is growing from anyone who's been watching this situation unfold that it's not a question of whether there will be an assault or push on it labor it's more a question of when it will be and how costly it will be to the civilian population on the ground. the united nations for several weeks now has been expressing concern about the fate of the civilian population in the event of a military operation there saying that there will be a humanitarian catastrophe this province in the northwest. syria is home to three million people part of the province borders turkey but the border has effectively been shut for years and turkey has made clear it has no intention to take in more refugees so the special envoy to syria demister were saying that he personally is ready to go to to open humanitarian corridors because the only way out for people will be to government controlled territory and people who live in it live are wanted by the state simply because of they were engaged in opposition activities so
8:05 pm
they will not have to government controlled territory without. guarantees from the united nations now whether or not the russian government or the syrian government will accept that's another question even though they have said that they're ready to discuss this option but in the past they haven't allowed un observers or or a third party to observe the flow of people into government controlled territories in the interim that the syrian government beating the drums of war and sending reinforcements to the front line of live but it's still not clear if and when an operation will happen or whether or not this operation will be limited limited in scope maybe there will be some sort of an agreement between the russians and the turks for the syrian government to recapture international highways and some strategic territories or whether this operation will just be the target groups linked to al qaida while the other so-called moderate groups will agree to reconcile with the state what we do understand is that the russians and the turks
8:06 pm
turks of course being having a lot of influence and. are still holding discussions to try to decide what to do because at the end of the day the syrian government cannot launch this operation without the russians greenlight because it will need russian air cover let's talk. a little bit about the senior political analyst in london you heard saying that they're talking about the fact that stuff into mr says he's willing to go to it leave him self to sort out these humanitarian corridors i mean it's admirable on his part and it shows he's leading but also i guess it shows just how serious this is libya fence of could be. absolutely you know it has been an unfortunate part of syria since before the revolution started it's been always ill fated if you will since the massacres of the one nine hundred eighty s. against how and it led by the syrian regime by the father then. and it was marginalized throughout the eighty's in the ninety's and the last decade
8:07 pm
and since that evolution started of course we witnessed massacres within the province against them for the regime and clearly the division within the oppositions there and it also made things even worse for the population and now after all of that. that's going to witness probably one of the worst onslaughts of this war with three million people within the province certainly many of them are hostage and potential casualties in this in this in this war. i think there is any way at all to stop it is there they should always be room for diplomacy is there any room left for diplomacy here look absolutely i mean you know if you know if the you know cool headed minds. you know when the day of course they will be and there's no need to do that in syria today you can reach some sort of deals but
8:08 pm
if we learned anything come about this war since the russians intervened in september two thousand and fifteen is that almost everyone changed their position you know here and there whether it's the turks the arenas the americans the saudis etc but the russians the russians have been quite persistent and consistent in their position in their support of bashar assad in support of the military operations and for them the priority was clear this is military first political second and humanitarian third and fourth then this was not a war believe it or not until today the russians go out don't even accept syrian refugees none because they consider there is no war in syria after three years of military intervention the russians claim that their only running a counterterrorism operation that there is no civil war and that they are not
8:09 pm
themselves involved in a war in syria so they have been quite persistent quite consistent quite in denial over their military intervention within the country and i think they will continue to do so until they finish the job as it were in the extraordinary stuff photo taken next hour thank you mon bashar in london. now a ceasefire appears to be holding in the libyan capital tripoli. days of fighting between rival armed groups killed at least twenty seven people before the internationally recognized government appealed for calm and brokered a truce on weapons but up the one with more now from tripoli. the situation is still tense in the southern suburbs of the libyan capital tripoli despite a cease fire agreement that has been recently reached and it's to be lates that a force should be composed from the central and western military legions

8:18 pm
the prophet mohammed. the news of the stunt reached pakistan with predictable results political policy call for diplomatic relations. the dutch ambassador should be immediately deported and pakistan should go back to its ambassador this is our simple demand and the government should meet it but it seems others have different retaliate in the lives within a day a man was arrested at the main railway station in the day after he allegedly posted on facebook that he was going to parliament to target builders. the former pakistani cricket then posted a video on twitter offering twenty thousand euros for builders murder. builders himself tweeted crazy that this happens after announcing a cartoon contest of course builders knows that what he's doing isn't really a cartoon competition it's all but a deliberate attempt to try to provoke muslims and in that he's clearly succeeded
8:19 pm
as well as apparently making himself a target but he has received some support from the dutch prime minister who says that he backs of builders rights to freedom of expression even if it's offensive since getting twenty percent in last year's elections supporting the netherlands fulfilled his party has slumped what elsewhere in europe the far right torch has been picked up by matteo salvini of the italian league who shares a mutual admiration of hungary's viktor orban builders himself who want nothing more than to be back in the headlines alongside them even or perhaps especially if his tactics lead to a threat to his own safety lawrence lee al jazeera the hague a german authorities in the eastern city of hemet preparing for more far right anti immigration rallies after violent confrontations earlier in the wake thousands of people have taken part in two days of protests against asylum seekers and minorities in the city that's after the arrest of two men from syrian and iraqi
8:20 pm
backgrounds on suspicion of fatally stabbing a german man on sunday we're going to check in with dominic cain now who is live from him that's what's it like now dominic relative to what we saw earlier in the wake. well the point to make here kemal is i am standing in front of this demonstration by the group called pro cam it's affectively a rallying cry as it were for people from the far right those who support the far right and there are about a thousand people here maybe a little bit more than that but not the same sorts of numbers that were going through the streets of this city on monday this this demonstration so far has been very peaceful indeed they gathered here to oppose a meeting that's taking place very nearby involving the christian democrat prime minister of the state of saxony mr crouch mum and his social democratic colleague who is the americans to keep up the good fake points as i say to make is that this is a very stark contrast to what took place on monday the violent scenes there where the
8:21 pm
police were the object of targets of obstacles thrown out of bottles fireworks rocks that sort of thing very violent scenes that took place on monday all those scenes have not been repeated so far at least. but they sound like they're fired up behind you as i am i going to see any other political developments going on. yes they are fired up behind me come on ok you can still hear me and these sorts of rallies slogans that get chanted one particular favorites of groups such as these is the first to us is the lying press the mainstream media the political axe well interestingly there are three learn if you say that there's been a degree of collusion between elements perhaps of the police force in the city or the judicial apparatus in this city with elements of the far right the slogan here now is that it's not that means we are that people they say that because they
8:22 pm
believe that they're not being listened to that they believe that the government the mainstream parties do not listen to the points of view that they have it's fascinating when you look at the demographics in this city perhaps one and a half percent of the people in this city at two hundred. fifty thousand people live here one and a half percent of them have a migrant background from syria or afghanistan which does put into perspective the source of slogans that they chant at these reasons but in so far as developed are concerned this evening the justice ministry has suspended an individual who came forward and said that he had leaked the details of some of the suspects who were and who have been implicated in and arrested over the death of a german on sunday morning which sparked the the rallies that took place on sunday on monday so that gives you a sense of what's been going on here and finally just to say the events here so far very peaceful so as i say a stark contrast to what we saw on sunday and monday when it came in and it's in germany thank you. interest rates in argentina have been raised fifteen percent to
8:23 pm
a new worldwide high of sixty percent trying to stop the peso from sinking further to record lows. the central bank acted after a presidential appeal to accelerate a fifty billion dollar emergency funding package well that raises fears of a repeat of previous economic crises as paul chatterjee reports. the international monetary fund has agreed to speed up bailout payments to argentina president made the request as the argentine peso dropped to record lows. but you have to keep in mind also that the perception of the i.m.f. . very negative for what happened two thousand. two thousand and one is when argentina defaulted on its ninety three billion dollar loans tens of thousands of businesses closed unemployment skyrocketed and a huge number of people were left in poverty but i don't know if. the new generation that did not live through the two thousand and one crisis like me as i
8:24 pm
was still a kid we see what's happening now and there is less and less trusting the government's lack of trust from the government's inability to cut deficit spending it's also failed to address pension reforms or create revenues from taxes all that and the spiraling global investors and argentinians who want to take their money out of the country in. the country is a problem which is that due to all the government's lack of credibility we think a lot in the dollars and it is logical to think in dollars with inflation it's thirty thirty five percent per year. workers who've had enough are planning strikes and protests and as argentina prepares for elections next year president crean must stabilize the economy or lose control of it. john al-jazeera but has received some good news the us president signed an order to exempt steel and

8:29 pm
to treat many of the patients in facilities like this is made right here in iran the other half is imported from pharmaceutical companies outside the country but it's the second half that has medical professionals worried once again. iran can't make all the medicine it needs on its own. as governments play political games aid workers say civilian lives hang in the balance. i'm saying this to the leaders of western states and americans you may have political conflict with our government but your methods actually hurt people in classic war when it's guns and tanks there are some rules but with sanctions we have no rules i call it a silent battle a war without sound of guns the first victims in this war are the civilians it's women it's children u.s. president donald trump and his administration say they will impose the most stringent biting sanctions on iran the world has ever seen the white house says sanctions are designed to weaken iran's government but people in this clinic want
