a deal with the government aimed at ending a five year civil war. over all star tribute to the u.s. to celebrate the life and music of the queen of soul aretha franklin. the u.n. special envoy for syria is warning of what he calls a perfect storm in the province if the government pushes to retake the last rebel stronghold staffan de mistura is calling for a humanitarian corridor or to free three million people trapped there the syrian government backed by its ally russia is vowing to go all the way to groups they consider terrorists rory chalons reports from moscow. the question of if they'll be an assault on has faded recently now it's more a matter. when that shift has been hastens by hardening language coming out of

moscow. with voting and constitute a list of the militias it 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 in italy . sergey lavrov was meeting his syrian counterpart. in the russian capital said they'd finish the groups they call terrorists but also try to protect civilians. here this would be the decision of the syrian leadership is to fight al nusra front whatever the sacrifices are we are ready to exert every possible effort not to harm civilians. but civilians have paid a heavy price in previous russian backed syrian government pushes to recapture rebel areas the siege is in bombardments of aleppo guta and.

turkey is urging russia to take more care to avoid a humanitarian catastrophe ankara wants extra time to persuade any armed groups in open to a deal something the un special envoy to syria also advocates one thing you would be do not accelerate military escalation and give a little bit more time for this type of discussion to allow him facilitate a credible credible humanitarian corridor to a lot civilian population to temporarily create to a safer area moscow says it will consider demister as humanitarian corridor or suggestion and it needs to show its listening to turkey if moscow decides to push for a massive offensive on. that will produce another huge wave of us who are in record use maybe hundreds of thousands fleeing to. turkey which

which is counted to russia's interests and russian parrott is there and also. that's tonight a scenario which is not very. affordable for turkey as well. it live is the largest remaining rebel stronghold if the syrian government takes it to rascasse will claim the war is effectively over. and that's one. but there are an estimated three million people trapped there ten thousand of which the u.n. estimates to be nuestro or al-qaeda linked fighters and the severity of the onslaught that they all receive depends largely on how much force the russian and syrian military is willing to use richelle and al-jazeera masacre well here's what's at stake in the province the last major rebel on clay of russia's called it a hotbed of terrorists u.n. envoy staffan de mistura believes that ten thousand dollar qaeda linked fighters are there it's home to close to three million people almost half of them displaced

from territory that the government has captured including aleppo eastern guta and dead a province nato has reported a russian naval buildup in the mediterranean sea where russia is holding exercises from saturday not a is the director of the center for middle east studies at the university of denver he's highly critical of the u.n. envoy proposal for a humanitarian corridor or out of it lip. it makes no sense to me at all the question is where are they going to go they're certainly not to not going to go into syrian government regime territory they've all fled from there and they are opponents of the assad regime and turkey is the only place they can go there's a long border between in the province and turkey but turkey has explicitly state stated that they have maxed themselves out in terms of hosting refugees there's three point five million syrian refugees in turkey already turkey has said it will not open its border so i don't know what stephan demister is talking about and i think it really does not help when he sort of advances arguments about humanitarian

corridor that simply make no factual or sort of political sense and it live it's a very complex picture of multiple rebel groups of course the dominant rebel groups are the extremist faction that is there they have no none of the rebel groups have any sort of significant international backing or regional backing so there's no way that they can really i think we stand a military onslaught that russia seems to be organizing the one unknown however are these rumors that if diplomacy doesn't work between russia and turkey perhaps turkey might try to organize and mobilize some of the more moderate rebel forces we think in the get delayed that are not affiliated with. the insta stage some sort of resistance and to try and prevent the onslaught from taking place. argentina is struggling to prevent its currency falling further despite the central bank raising

a key interest rate to sixty percent the pace a loss to a further thirteen and a half percent against the us dollar on thursday its value is heart of them against the dollar since the start of the year of wednesday president reed c.e.o. mockery asked the international monetary fund to speed up the release of money from a fifty billion dollars bailout speak peter hachim is a senior fellow with the into american dialogue think tank he says that argentina's economy could collapse. well what's going wrong in argentina and part i think the government was a little too cautious in reforming the fundamentals of the economy but it had political. challenges in front of it as well in the try to balance the politics and economics and clearly in the end it didn't quite find the right balance maybe the right balance didn't exist. but right now it's in the midst of

really an economic. downturn that is very reminiscent of past arjen pine anomic collapses virtually so there's really a trap there that the economics and politics are working at each other and very hard to see an easy solution. you see the value of the currency is plummeting which keeps inflation very very high. leaves investors and anybody who would lend the argentina money a little bit more wearing. terrible loss of confidence among the argent prime population who see much of their. earnings and there are a savings linked to the dollar. the global economy is not as vibrant as it might be argentina in side is facing

something of a poor harvest for its main export crops i mean there's a lot of things going wrong and one hopes or i think mark really is depending on some of the really argentina's best economists and managers. but this is now going through a very tricky phase where people are very nervous. two children have been killed in an air strike in libya's capital but they offer a cease fire began their they were reportedly playing in a garden when a missile struck a house in tripoli that follows days of fighting between rival armed groups twenty seven people most of them civilians have been killed since monday the ceasefire is in place until saturday al-jazeera is mahmood of the walk and reports 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 that belong to the national accord government should come to tripoli and put an end to this conflict and maintain order in the capital tripoli now the question is the question now is will the arrival of the competing groups well they will they be committed to the cease fire agreement or not we know that on tuesday then was a fittest cease fire agreement but it was reached by both the conflicting groups especially was more deployment and in force and force meant coming to both sides now this latest conflict in the southern suburbs of the libyan capital tripoli is between the seventh infantry brigade and its affiliates

from the one hand and they come from the city of who are now which is around one hundred kilometers to the. east and south of tripoli on the one hand and other armored groups from tripoli which are backed by the u n backed national accord government on the other hand and this conflict is for power for control over strategic locations in tripoli that includes military camps and also the tripoli international airport now according to informant sources on the ground at the humanitarian suffering has been worsening during the last three days so many families have been forced out of their homes because of the clashes and there are many civilians who are among the casualties in these clashes. south sudan's

opposition leader reg mashad has signed the peace accord to end nearly five years of civil war he agreed to sign after receiving assurances that a power sharing deal would be honored the agreement with president salva kiir followed discussions in sudan's capital khartoum tens of thousands of people have been killed and millions displaced since violence broke out in twenty thirteen michael bus a-q. is a former unicef spokesman who observe the humanitarian crisis for himself in south sudan he's not up to mystic the deal will deliver a long lasting peace. i can't help but be skeptical and a big reason for doubt is welcome or why you have a lot of several dozen nothing or groups that still are very uncertain about this deal and secondly i noticed in reading the kind of reservations if you will of the smaller opposition groups they had four main concerns one was about the decision making mechanism and the other one was about the number of states and their ethnic different case and because don't forget we went from something like ten states to

twenty eight states to thirty eight states and now it seems the opposition groups want them brought back to ten and then of course concerns over the constitution making process and transitional security arrangements it seems to me that they want kenya and ethiopia of course the big regional power brokers involved and finally a lot of these issues are going to be discussed openly in the coming weeks and you've got the east african regional bloc so we'll see how that works out but at the moment very tough to be optimistic especially because a lot of this depends on oil revenues as well now it's really really important that the united states were engaged in this issue. if i know i'm trying to be diplomatic here but i hope that president trump even knows where it's also down is what you're sure because as you recall a lot of the birth of this state africa's youngest nation was the result of work by people like obama and susan rice but i don't see that engagement there right now
