we'll detail underneath the rhetoric and possibly the posturing is it really a situation whereby the hoots is renae somehow they say they haven't and martin griffis is being very very careful in his language he's saying this is not a blame game however what about the saudi u.a.e. that coalition are they really intent on pulling back certainly from what we're hearing and david touched on this no is the answer to that and it does seem that events determine the direction in which the poor civilians of yemen find themselves events in the battlefield rather than the events in geneva or indeed far away in sana'a it is a terribly difficult situation a situation that as david said could well get worse under many thanks understands that lives in djibouti. a death penalty has been handed down against seventy

president says he may intervene if the syrian government backed by russia and iran carries out an all out offensive on the province the rebels' last stronghold in syria. tweeted that he would be the watch from the sidelines nor participate in such a game if the world turned a blind eye to killing thousands of people have rallied across rebel held areas to show their opposition to an all out onslaught on it live home now to three million people the u.n. has warned of a humanitarian disaster on a scale not seen it in the seventy year war well the u.n. special envoy to syria has called for the people of it live to campaign for rebel fighters to leave built up areas and go to the countryside staffan de mistura presented his plan aimed at preventing bloodshed to the security council our diplomatic editor james bays has more on that from un headquarters in 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 those stefan de
2:04 pm
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 off with the line to move their own military presence beit is our way i did beat away from populated think. at this same time and here comes that message and image i got from the population. i mean being indicating that this is what they've been asked from door that i would look to move out the day may how does day mate. creamy there be able to
2:05 pm
get to be more be left on that so one of the leavers for this plan is that people power getting the civilians and it lead 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 who's 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. well let's get more on this now from al-jazeera stephanie decker who's in turkey's border with syria stuffy on the face of it the the u.n. special envoy is planned seems pretty hair brained
2:06 pm
a james was saying why would they move out of the cities into the country clearly there's no consensus of the talks in tehran can an offensive now be avoided politically. i think it's very difficult i think you know if you look at it if you break it down you have russia and iran basically saying that the syrian government will be taking back the province whatever happens and you have the turks saying well you know we're going to have to figure out a better way to do that rather than a military offensive but the problem is this stage it is that over the years under these reconciliation deals those rebels who didn't want to be part of the art of living under the government were sent to live and it was a let's say a so-called problem that the government was going to deal with later well we're at that stage now so turkey has the difficult task of talking to all these groups particularly those deemed as extremists as terrorists the group called hired to hedo sham formerly known as nusra seen as being linked to al qaeda while that has
2:07 pm
a lot of territory along its borders all to remember turkey has twelve observation posts inside it but it has forces there so it's still trying to talk to these groups trying to get them to lay down their weapons or merge so to speak with other groups but the question is this is that the syrian government wants to take back all of their problems regardless of whether a group is deemed an extremist or not where they could they are going to go so majorly time challenging this is why it would be so difficult and then of course you have the over three million civilians living there including almost a million internally displaced the military offensive would be an absolute disaster the more airstrikes. today stephanie has this much talked about offensive actually begun a. reddy. well it is a scale i think if you will people will tell you that the psychological part of the offensive has certainly started and what we're seeing today is airstrikes in the
2:08 pm
southern part of the province particularly targeting areas that are on the line so to speak between syrian government forces syrian you know backed allies on the ground and opposition groups we're hearing around five people have been killed in opposition held territory so of course there is an offensive that is underway it is not a major scale offensive as turkey is trying to avert and there's been a lot of talk of the last couple of weeks that this southern area would be the first phase of taking back it also it is close to two major important highways one of which goes from aleppo to damascus and the other one to let talk is of course is a tactical things that the government will want to take back in its first stages but again you know as always we listen to the politicians talk when it comes to syria not always what is said and what is done behind the scenes is the same thing we're going to have to watch the ground very closely as to how this offensive for him to is going to unfold stuff many thanks i was there a stuff the deck of the live on the turkey syria border. thousands of far right

supporters once again rallied in the german city of kemet on friday night that angry over the fatal stabbing of a german man last month two migrants that arrested and charged with manslaughter so the far right protesters were met by counter stratus. in sweden this talk of a growing far right influences the country prepares to vote in elections on sunday security and immigration have been big issues in the campaign hostility towards migrants has been rising among some boats and since the country took in big numbers of refugees in twenty fifteen zero zero zero the whole report cell from stockholm. fara is no longer quite sure what sort of country she's living in i felt. he made me feel very small born in sweden to muslim parents who've lived here for decades far came face to face with unfamiliar prejudice when
2:10 pm
a job interview was terminated after she refused on religious grounds to shake the hand of her male interviewer she won her subsequent claim to the swedish labor court if you ask me this from a few years ago my answer would be that they are very upset. but. i am not sure i would answer because. i think that race is people that. are sowing themselves more and they are encouraged to so themselves more so people are not afraid to say i hate you because you're for us therefore i hate you because you're wearing the far right party that speaks for them these call to sweden democrats with neo nazi roots and its image cleaned up to appeal more broadly now this once fringe movement is poised to play in the political landscape as sweden's second largest priority i think that what
2:11 pm
we're seeing is a sweden this is very important to kind of strive for our classical is as we say it's just values and it has to do with. equal we have a gender equality that is very very strong in comparison with other faiths this is about keeping sweden swedish that's an additional thing sweden together i say it's a message resonating widely in what used to be one of europe's most open and free thinking societies expert magazine sweden's leading investigative journal has long charted the rise of the far right the catalyst of naziism which is this weekend yeah i mean the party has been through some. changes of course but there is a sort of a quare are a radical nationalism a quest for home and generosity in sweden and placing immigrants and minorities at the center of everything that's wrong in society the relentless rise of the right here the sweden democrats winning five percent of the vote in twenty ten almost
2:12 pm
thirteen percent four years later and this time perhaps one in five votes twenty percent tells the story of a country changing fast reacting in part to the huge influx of refugees since twenty fifty you know with some people nostalgic for a simpler time a more culturally homogenously past a lot of people are telling me they're so the swedish society but i'm worried. that so what. a question of identity that lies at the heart of this election joho al jazeera stocco. michael sunstruck is a political scientist from monday university he focuses on the rise of the far right in europe and joins us now via skype from london in sweden good to have you with us michael you take issue with our correspondent there when he refers to the sweden democrats as a far right party wouldn't you yes well his quite right there you have a far right they have a far right tendencies asked how they were rooted in a far right movement but they have cleaned up their act and today we should
2:13 pm
probably call them something like social conservative with its immigration policy as their main focus also they are they are of course. attracting far right but that's another thing but michael there are far right parties in sweden are they gaining more support you just said that some of those far right support he's a moving to the sweden democrats. well obviously if you have a party with far rights that attracts far right votes and that can actually come into the parliament then you will tend to vote for that we also have some french parties are on the extreme far right the critics are right but those parties do not attract large numbers of doctors and is this all about the twenty fifteen influx of immigrants has it pushed voters further to the right in sweep. again there are not greedy keen on talking about the left right divide here we're talking about part of
2:14 pm
the elite for nationalists and nationalism is the main concern is with democrats the massive influx in twenty fifteen yes that affected quite a few voters but we should remember that sweden democrats have been growing exponentially since one thousand nine hundred eight you say that it's affected voters is there any hard evidence that might back up a shift in sentiment have immigrants changed swedish society has there been a negative impact upon law and order for instance we are seeing an uptake an uptick in crime levels and there is some evidence to support the notion that immigration has affected that optic. those sentiments of course are strengthened and used by bipartisan want to attract votes to get rid of immigrants basically and is this the spread of far right sentiment. that that seems to be sweeping right across europe at the moment it's witnessed relatively late to the far right so
2:15 pm
the nationalist right should i say party. but we have seen the same sort of developments across europe yes but it's a populist party it's with democrats so michael what happens if sweden democrats win as much as twenty percent or perhaps more in the vote tomorrow i will swedish government governance change will it change and what does it mean that this rise in in the right wing of politics if you like what does it mean for the future. well it will be twenty eighteen cycle if they grow to twenty percent it will don't really affect the way governments will have to make sure there will still be a wedge between the traditional life left or right side so they divide so no big difference but of course it's a big political weigh in on a symbolic win if they gain twenty percent of those all michael really good still
2:16 pm
too many thanks indeed for being with us michael and some strong the political scientists from the university and sweet i not mckelway here with the weather next here on that he is our. duty to vote because our democracy depends on barack obama speaks out in a scathing assessment of politics in the u.s. . more trouble for electric car make a tesla as executive step down and strange behavior from its c.e.o. elon musk drive down the value of the stocks. and coming up in scores all round up the best to be action from the u.s. open tennis including a very happy novak djokovic. from the waves of the south. to the contours of the east.

2:18 pm
a way it's good news the drought is over but unfortunately the forecast isn't really hold up to very much more of that. the green is what you see is right in the forecast in australia there's nothing left unfortunately for the next day or so there is no significant show's over land erected. the weather sponsored by cateye race. they are women and mothers. performers. christmas. from their present of luck law to argentina. that inspiration is a force new flood walls can be cheap stifled invisible mother's heart if you find a lot in the mail series at this time. brazil's constitution grants its people the right to essential medicines but it's been
