news concerns are growing louder all over the world about what a planned offensive on the last rebel held territory in syria could really mean the un security council's been briefed in the past few hours and there are suggestions a safe passage should be created for up to three million people also the special envoy in syria says full scale fighting in italy could trigger the biggest humanitarian tragedy at the end of the most horrible recent conflict in our memory and the turkey's president reject type one warning his country can't take in any more syrian refugees as he met with his russian and iranian counterparts in teheran vladimir putin rejected earlier ones call for a cease fire but they along with iran's president house on rouhani did agree to meet again to seek a joint solution rouhani emphasized the need for a political and military solution. to fight terrorism an adlib as an end inevitable. part of
9:05 pm
a mission to bring about peace and stability and. we should make sure that their civilians are not harmed in this process. we are fighting for peace war for war is a mistake from our point of view covering the conference from teheran for us they must already. of the many issues discussed at the trilateral summit in teheran between the presidents of iran russia and turkey perhaps the thing that will impact syrians on the ground in syria most immediately is the three countries diverging on what to do next with regards to live now the turkish president president of the one was clear that his country is already housing three point five million syrian refugees and that any displacement of the three point five million more syrians currently living and live is not something that would be sustainable and would be
9:06 pm
unfair to the syrian people the majority of whom in it live are innocent civilians and have suffered enough now president hassan rouhani for his part acknowledge that yes the majority of people there are not armed fighters who are not affiliated to any of the groups but that it lived needed to be rooted out or terrorists as he called them needed to be rooted out from it live to assure that that the civilians there would not be used as human shields now he has gone on throughout the day talking about how syria's national security and territorial integrity is a major priority and retaking it by the syrian government is an important part of moving forward from conflict to reconstruction now if he was occupying the middle ground then the russian president vladimir putin was on the other end of the spectrum and made his position clear that if armed groups of terrorists as he called them are willing to use innocent civilians as human shields then what
9:07 pm
happens in adlib next is going to be the fault of those armed groups so three very different opinions on what promises to be the final battle in syria the final large scale battle and a seemingly inevitable battle now for at least. let's talk to our diplomatic editor james bays at u.n. headquarters in new york so there was that security council briefing on syria stuff and de mistura was on a live link from geneva to talk about it and as i understand he was going to brief the security council in private but was told no let's be public here. yeah absolutely he has a new plan he said which maybe could stop the bloodshed by i can tell you the mood in the security council chamber is pretty solemn today and i think many diplomats believe it's not just now a question of whether they'll be inoffensive and it live it's a question of when that last and final big battle as it will probably be of the
9:08 pm
syrian war takes place but mr de mistura had a plan he wanted to present it in a private session nikki haley the u.s. ambassador who is the president for this month said no this month we're doing everything in public so mr distin mistura laid out his plan to the security council in the chamber in open session so all of us could hear the plan ideally all militant fighters should be asked with the way to move their own military presence bayed this way it would be away from populated think. at the same time and here comes the message and image i've got from the population i mean. indicating that this is what they've been asked from door. to move out of they may how those day mate. creamy don't be able to get to be
9:09 pm
mobilized on that so short story james he wants to and the plan that he's been given it's to to separate the quote unquote terrorists from the civilians that sounds specially with numbers in the millions sounds ambitious at the very least. yeah he says that ninety eight point eight percent of the people and its nearly three million in the affected area of head live are civilians he wants the fighters to move out of the villages the towns and the city and then the population would just be civilians in those places and he's relying he says on people power we've already seen protests in aid lead and also pressure from the turkish government on the fighters the problem i think is the big question to the fighters why were they are fighting for so long many of them for seven of years now want to leave the cities go out into the countryside where they know that the
9:10 pm
syrian government and the russian air force want to bomb them james bay is keeping us up to date from the u.n. in new york thanks james. and with us here in the studio a regular contributor of course director of policy analysis at the doha institute i've been reading an article of yours today from actually we talked about three potential scenarios from italy right at the end you say there is room for cautious optimism but mainly because of war fatigue not because we have some great diplomats handling that to feel any different up to what you seem to day in well actually i mean today of course i mean there was no agreement between the two that the two parties to this that this conflict but i think. i mean today we have seen the three leaders actually talking about. their intention to continue with this sort of between these three parties because it seems that everybody is actually interested in somehow. vetting the sort of all out
9:11 pm
offensive on adelaide because that would lead to as de mistura has just actually won to a bloodbath in italy that would lead of course i mean to an exodus especially towards tourist tookey so now. i mean the summit has failed in producing an agreement but as i said i mean there is still some hope actually we will be there will be no all out attack in the next at least few a few days or few weeks so. what do you think there will be some of the other scenarios that you talked about limiting i think i think there is going to be an animated offensive by the russians and the iranians of course by the syrian regime as well but i think the russians are mainly interested now in pushing. back a bit further north because they want actually to protect the. from the drawings which are launched actually from mainly under the control of. when i was there on
9:12 pm
the other hand is mainly interested actually in regaining the part of the m five forward this is the main three adored in the country because we all we have all seen how the regime was very much interested actually in regaining the border crossing with jordan and having control of the m five from jordan to damascus and then in the north toward tom's hama and what they are trying to do now is having is having control over this part of the m five which actually passes through to adlib so you are going to see this limited because as i said nobody is interested in this plot but because we have three million civilians in this in this government it. and maybe that the turks will be able at the end of the day to come up with something because turkey has been trying also over the past few weeks to convince actually to this solve itself and try and join the turkish back to. a free syrian army this is
9:13 pm
a slightly odd question but just it just struck me today as we watch the event today you saw these three leaders with their three flags there the teheran conference there was no syrian flag there was no word syria there at all and it just it just stuck with me today that you got three other countries deciding the face when you're absolutely right syrians seem to be i mean. they are not they are neither of the regime we have three parties here three four and parties here to keep iran and russia deciding the future and the future off of. syria which is mean i mean something cynical i mean too on some of but this is how the war in syria has been going on for the past few years is a war by proxy these are the major the major powers who are actually controlling the game in syria we are syrians with regime opposition are meanly local proxies on the ground they are fighting actually on b. how of this but was that the summit was was a very open demonstration of this need to get in syria and you know
9:14 pm
a lot about things in this region so i'm going to throw you a slight curve ball i want to ask you about our lead story which was iraq and the reports that iran was closing its border with iraq because of the rest in basra what do you make of what's going on there i mean the fact that an iranian consulate actually set on fire this is very interesting development actually in iraq because in recent months and weeks actually we have seen boss of the iraqi street and of the iraqi political forces in fact trying actually for the first time in fifteen years now since the u.s. invasion of iraq actually to try and limit the influence of the iranians over the political process we have seen the political parties mean. we and others are actually trying to form a coalition that is for the first time not being actually defeated by the iranians but we have seen also today in basra is another important signs by the iraqi
9:15 pm
society that the are sick of this intervention interference in fact by the iranians in iraq internal affairs i think i think this is this is a very important development and we need to actually do the bare helps a wait and see more of the science coming out about how the iraqis have become actually saw fed up with this sort of iranian interference in their and their internal internet affairs we will keep a close eye on it a pleasure as always thank you very much. a little more on syria now earlier eight aid agencies made a collective plead to world powers to avoid a humanitarian catastrophe in is a groups like the norwegian and danish refugee council save the children world vision already overwhelmed trying to provide shelter food water and health care and additional airstrikes and bombings would only push stretched resources to the brink remember communities across it live have doubled in size as they've taken in almost one and a half million displaced people from across syria and of aid organizations are
9:16 pm
forced to freeze their operations because of an offensive those people will be left without vital humanitarian support particularly women children and the elderly who may not be able to move to safety we spoke to us from save the children earlier who says the group is working with other aid organizations to prepare for a worst case humanitarians an aria. it makes sense for us first aid organizations to come together to be calling for what we consider will be i mean joe boyd a humanitarian catastrophe in a lead because we are aid agencies are already extremely stretched we're talking about three million people in adelaide. out of them all happened then and have already been displaced from other parts of syria if you live in the area in. syria which has the highest the high if you meant to time it needs and an
9:17 pm
escalation in violence could only make things worse so we are preparing on the ground for potential escalation but i think the thing to stress right now is the fact that supplies are already then when we talk about food medication we're talking about also displaced people. who are already in other crowded conditions who are living in shelter in rural areas that in terms of hospitals the world health organization is saying that for national trust it alls are not functioning it live right now and. we can imagine that this offensive will make things even worse. here's what's coming up for you on this news hour born in serbia in albania and the school that could soon have the borders rearranged around it europe's new frontier how migrants are encountering an unexpected hurdle trying to enter france and in sport why a move away from the sea didn't actually stop the world's best surfers from finding
9:18 pm
a way. now a planned meeting on the war in yemen has had a snag the rebels haven't yet managed to fly to the swiss city of geneva for negotiations with representatives from the yemeni government the u.n. special envoy for yemen martin griffiths is already there and he says he's discussed issues like prisoners and humanitarian access with yemen's foreign minister. in geneva. the un special envoy for yemen is still holding out hope that these consultations talks can start but he doesn't know exactly when it could be saturday it could be sunday it could even be monday but you still holding out hope the question is exactly how long can the yemen government delegation sitting on their own here at this hotel in geneva how long
9:19 pm
can they actually wait when will their patients run out. still on the ground in sun other yemeni capital is the hoochie rebel delegation they're demanding the chance to put injured fighters on their plane for treatment in the amman the capital of moscow's but the yemeni government spokesman here told me this not only the injured fighters they're trying to get on that plane let's hear what he said they said yesterday that they want to departure and jets from yemen we have information from our side from there from san are that those are not injuries they are a group of iranian and or a group of hezbollah experts who were plentiful obeying ballastic missiles a program that has been fired to saudi arabia and they are training who thier they had there been training for the for the last three days years it's been described by the united nations as the worst humanitarian crisis in the world more than ten
9:20 pm
thousand people have died two thousand or so have been children every day these peace consultations are delayed means more lives are put at risk. to brazil now or a suspect is being questioned after a presidential election candidate was stabbed doctors say both and are is in a grave but stable condition a far right candidate was popular in the opinion polls despite his racist and homophobic comments a latin america the c n human looks at how this could reshape the race. just when it seemed brazil's presidential election campaign couldn't get more unpredictable traversal leading candidate was stabbed in the stomach during the street that was too conservative evangelicals i.e. . the device of law and order candidate sent this message to hospital. the world who is men can so evil of never home to anyone. but many brazilians
9:21 pm
disagree also nat'l is facing the supreme court trial charged with making inflammatory anti-gay and he black and massaging the statements which promote hatred and condone rape. all of bull sinatra's rivals strongly condemned the attack against the former army captain even former president rousseff whom he once said deserved to have been tortured during brazil's military dictatorship. now whoever did this has to pay whoever did it or. equally controversial would be leading candidate lula da silva continues to fight for his right to campaign from his prison cell where he's serving a twelve year sentence for corruption still brazil's most popular politician he's been barred from running but is appealing the court decision but given the likelihood he'll lose he's expected to cede his candidacy to his vice presidential choice. before wednesday the deadline for registering the former south paolo mer
9:22 pm
from the left wing workers' party is also now being accused of receiving in direct payments to his two thousand and twelve campaign he did nies any wrongdoing. what does the prosecution have in his hands the word of a bandit who lied eight times to the courts. regardless opinion polls show the head that is unlikely to inherit lula's popularity. also not as divisive and pro-gun stance also frightens me resilience. all of which means that the thirteen chanda did race is still wide open unless there is space attack actually gives both the edge he needs to win in a first round next month to see in human al-jazeera tom long is an associate professor of politics and international studies at the university of worker told us brazil's presidential race remains unpredictable. i think that the race continues
9:23 pm
to be in many ways what it was before the attack on balls and i don't know which is a chaotic and unpredictable mess this was already a race in which the leading candidate was campaigning from a jail cell that's former president lula of course and now for the next couple weeks we're going to have the second place candidate campaigning from a hospital bed it's unlikely that lula will be allowed to compete so the rest of the field that is passed nato who is leading on the far right is quite a mess we have you know eight or nine candidates who are all vying for for space and trying to differentiate themselves it's really in predictable we've seen in brazilian politics over the last few years as brazil has gone from this spectacular rise to recession and political crisis is the emergence of really deep
9:24 pm
polarization and some of that polarization was there just below the surface but it is really out in the open and has been since there was a move to impeach former president putin my rousseff so what we're seeing today is in some ways the continuing continuation in the exacerbation of that polarization on the other hand we see this really stark divide over brazilian economic policy brazil has responded to its economic crisis with really deep austerity measures which has meant closing closing schools unpaid police forces all of this in the wake of brazil holding these giant mega vents spending lots of money on the olympics in the world cup for example and so in that context we have a really stark social division about how brazil should respond to this economic crisis through deeper deeper spending cuts or by trying to change paths in terms of its economic strategy. now a new push has begun to sort out
9:25 pm
a territorial dispute that's lingered since the wars in the balkans the presidents of serbia and kosovo called off their face to face talks in brussels at the last minute but they did meet separately with the you use top diplomat high on the agenda was a plan to redraw borders the pressure of a valley in southern serbia where the population is mostly ethnic albanian would join kosovo in return serbia would take control of the majority serb area of kosovo but it's a gamble that could provoke new tension as sagna guy got reports from pressure. oh it's the first week back at school for these young students at the ybor him kelmendi primary school in the town of pressure it's the largest one of its kind in serbia all the pupils are albanian as they settle in the school itself prepares for what could be the last time it teaches the serbian curriculum and what they hope
9:26 pm
will be a fresh start for the school. in the two hundred minute there's hardly been any investment here since ninety sixty five everything's in poor condition and we have no bread we're being in textbooks. the possibility of a land swap between serbia and kosovo has been uppermost in people's minds here pressure of us population is ninety percent ethnic albanian the u.s. and the european union had always discouraged the idea until now and apparently straightforward solution on the surface but has the potential to reopen old wounds in this part of the balkans which has already suffered brutal conflict following the breakdown of yugoslavia. one of the plans that people here fear is being discussed is moving the border to this railway track now while that would put the town of pressure firmly within the borders of kosovo it would mean that these outlying villages would still be in serbia and leave thousands of other albanians
9:27 pm
still stuck there. moreover there is still uncertainty as to what's wanted return but would likely dominated northern kossovo which it views is non-negotiable yes we would like to be part of republic of course but we have to be very careful you know declinations in terms of you know for republic of course or to be greeted with a lot of sacrifices being done by all the albanians including the veins of. we don't want to interfere in this process this also poses another dilemma for the region's leaders if borders are to be redrawn on the basis of ethnicity it could provoke more calls for land swaps from macedonia which has more than huff a million albanians living along its front is even the goal of eventual. both can countries cannot. disclose we don't find discussion about between
9:28 pm
kosovo and serbia conducive to reaching the goal we think it will reopen too many old wounds in the population eyes and that is why we have very skeptical. it is a huge gamble with the risk of reigniting ethnic conflict here a political process that will take a good normal amount of delicate negotiation from all parties involved. al-jazeera . i had on this news hour and said if i would want to cook with gas for him to refugees in bangladesh get a little more environmentally friendly. time a rugby world champ in south africa and with games away from harm. hello we have from the storms rumbling away across

9:41 pm
we should make use of these opportunities especially in light of the politically tense situation in the gulf region which negatively affix trade between gulf states we in germany regret the crisis germany is not involved in this conflict but we support all constructive contributions to sizzle the fight such as the past negotiation if it's by kuwait's mass graves have been found in mexico containing more than one hundred sixty human skulls burial pits were uncovered in a field in vera cruz a state notorious for the illegal drugs war and cartels smuggling cocaine north into the united states john holman with more from mexico city. apart from the more than one hundred sixty scoles the room so found in this mass grave the state's attorney for vera cruz said more than one hundred identifications and that's going to be in a very sad way gold for a few of the families in that state there are crews that are searching for their
