preparing to make their last stand against syrian government forces and russian warplanes for the underwriters of the syrian conflict it blue is a clearly a point of divergence iran and russia see it in national security terms the syrian government needs to regain control of the city to combat what it calls terrorism as well as asserting national integrity turkey already home to three and a half million syrian refugees. in humanitarian terms president russia pay up or to one said the majority of men women and children there are not fighters and have suffered enough and the turks can't cope with millions more fling it iran's president acknowledged that the vast majority of people in ad lib are civilians. associated. sensed it because terrorists use civilian people as human shields they hide themselves among people to continue their shameful lives we should try to separate terrorists from people fight terrorists and protect civilians in this area but if iran's leader held the middle ground russian president vladimir putin whose

military involvement turned the war on us as favor has a different view if armed groups are willing to use civilians as human shields he said what happens next is their fault. those are good luck states terrorists do the same thing everywhere all the time they use human shields the russian military always tries to spare civilian lives soon after that they're on summit ended the united nations peace envoy for syria warned the security council that. any battle for ad lib would be horrific and the time has come to evacuate the city throughout the day leaders in tehran discussed a future syria free from terrorists with new buildings a new constitution and even elections while leaders in new york were left to weigh the potentially disastrous consequences of what seems like the inevitable battle for it live. here at. our diplomatic editor james bays has more now on that u.n. security council meeting from new york i think many diplomats believe it's not now

a case of if there is an offensive in need live but when despite that though stefan de mistura the u.n. special envoy has come up with a new plan to stop the bloodshed he first said he'd like to give the security council the plan in a private session but then and thus the nikki haley the u.s. ambassador who's the current this month president of the security council said no we want to hear your plan in public and this is what he said ideally all militant fighters should be asked with a deadline to move their own military presence beit is a way to beat away from populated think the villages 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 on the group to move out of they may how the earth day may fit the

creamy don't people going to be mobilized on that so one of the leavers for this plan is that people power guessing the civilians in it live to say to the fighters you need to move out of the built up areas out of the villages and towns and cities the other lever he says is the turkish government putting pressure on those fighters but i think there is a big question here if you are a fighter or a commander of one of those fighting groups has been fighting now in this war for more than seventy years why would you now leave areas built up areas among civilians where you may feel more safe and instead go into the countryside when you know that the syrian government and the russians have aircraft ready to bomb you and the u.s. is making further cuts in aid for palestinians this time for cancer treatment and other critical care of jerusalem hospitals last week it stopped all funding for the

u.n. relief agency that helps palestinian refugees and the guy get reports from washington . well this is the third week in a row that the trumpet administration has removed or as the state department told us reprogrammed aid to palestinians in this case is twenty five million dollars to the east jerusalem hospital network that is a collection of six hospitals that provide treatment that is not available in guards or all the west bank so we're talking about things like critical care cancer care child dialysis and that twenty five million dollars really does go along way but this as i said is the third week in a row last week we saw three hundred million dollars in palestinian aid removed from the united nations the week before that it was two hundred million dollars in humanitarian aid so altogether we're looking at a half a billion or just over half a billion dollars in aid to the palestinians removed by the trumpet ministration president trump himself says the angle he's taking here is he wants the

palestinians to talk about peace if they don't this is a way of him getting back at them a bit clearly the treatments that have been put in place or provided by these hospitals that really will affect the most vulnerable people among this is dialysis for children so that gives you just some idea of what removing this kind of money will do to palestinians. israeli soldiers have shot dead a palestinian teenager in more protests on the gaza border the palestinian health ministry says seventeen year old was shot in the chest ninety four others were injured including thirty live bullets. israel has banned palestinian activists or had tamimi from traveling abroad the seventeen year old and her family were planning to visit europe on friday to talk about her experience in jail and the palestinian resistance movement to me was freed in july after spending eighteen months in prison for slapping an israeli soldier. still ahead on al-jazeera. with a front runners in hospital or in jail on
