this is the true state she should know up from. on al-jazeera. it. no place to go the u.n. says thirty thousand people have already been displaced in syria's rebel held held italy province. gania with live from doha i'm martin dennis also coming up using starvation as a weapon of war more than one child could die of hunger every minute this year in conflict zones. the u.s. will use a close palestine's diplomatic office in washington. government to track libya's national although headquarters in tripoli people are dead.

the u.n. says more than thirty thousand people have already been displaced within syria's province since the assad government and its russian allies began as strikes in the area last week it live is the last significant rebel held region in syria aid organizations of all that any military campaign to retake the region would spark a humanitarian crisis let's go live now to our correspondent stephanie decker she is on the turkey syria border at untuck air and so already it seems very much as though people are on the move within the province a people have been displaced once are already being displaced again just into this operation. that's right i mean from what we've seen over the last couple of days is that there has been some

displacement from the southern areas where the airstrikes began on tuesday in have intensified over the last three days having said that today has been a relatively calmer day than the last two days these areas are also less populated martín they're open countryside so the figures we actually had are around ten thousand having been displaced over the last week or so that's according to various sources we have on the ground and also churches aid organizations that work inside the country it's very difficult to verify numbers i mean of course people are very scared about the upcoming offensive particularly if it moves closer to the more populated densely populated cities yes they have nowhere to go you currently have large camps of those as you mentioned people who've been displaced again and again and again through the course of this war they have nowhere to go their conditions are already very difficult appendant on a they cannot rebuild their lives so this is a major concern for turkey that if the military offensive escalates that you will

see huge numbers starting to move towards its borders and of course turkey keeps saying that it's going to keep their borders closed so going back to the thirty thousand figure that the u.n. has put out they seem quite confident and quite specific about this number where have these people gone to do you imagine as you say the bombing was largely targeting the southern parts of italy province. that's why we actually had a camera man stand on that road which is the main road that comes up north from those areas yesterday to film some of the people fleeing i didn't catch that many we were actually surprised of how little people were fleeing the area some of the people you spoke to said that they didn't feel safe that they felt that they had nowhere to go because they expected this to escalate and therefore were heading to the turkish border now there are camps we spoke to the turkish red crescent according to the turkish aid organizations we've been speaking to a couple of them they have the materials inside syria they haven't set them up yet

because there is no need so we are trying to figure out exactly we're going to be in touch with the u.n. because thirty five thousand is a huge number in the last week or so because the airstrikes began on tuesday so just under a week now it is of course possible things are difficult to verify in syria but this is whatever the number is martine the concern is that huge numbers of civilians will be displaced by an intensified military offensive particularly if it moves towards the more populated areas and indeed there in this is the nightmare scenario particularly for turkey is there that is close to its border with syria and has stipulated time and time again that it won't open its border for another flood of refugees given that they already house what about three million syrian refugees so the plan at the moment seems to be that they will try to set up provisions for i.d.p.'s within syria very close to to turkish border.

absolutely we spoke to the head of the turkey turkish red crescent just a couple of days ago as he left. he made it very clear they are preparing for people to leave but they are going to keep them inside syria i also am about humanitarian corridors are being discussed and he made it clear again they would not be leaving the country they would be within syria potentially maybe going to areas under turkish control because most of it most of the territory rounded martín is under government control but you have a sliver to the north that is controlled by rebels that is supported by turkey but nobody really wants that this is the problem people don't want to go there are the people in that area don't really want to have a massive influx of local dynamics on the ground martine it is very very difficult and then then what do you do moving forward so this is why they're trying to control this to meant to manage it diplomatically at the moment from what we understand from speaking to sources you know turkey's trying to get rebel groups to

put down their arms and merge into other groups it's a very very difficult challenge i think everyone still not quite clear how much of how much this offense will be played out on the military battlefield and in terms of political negotiations and meanwhile. the u.n. is warning of this being potentially the biggest humanitarian catastrophe of the twenty first century thank you stephanie stephanie deca it is live from antakya. more than one child will die every minute from hunger in war zones that rather alarming conclusion is at the heart of a new report by the charity save the children the group warns that starvation is now frequently used as a weapon of war victoria gave him reports. in towns and cities across syria forces loyal to president bashar assad have long used a surrender all starve strategy against civilians in rebel held areas eastern go to

is now under government control but earlier this year four hundred thousand people were besieged there many starving a similar military strategy is being used in yemen both the fighters and government forces backed by the saudi u.a.e. coalition deliberately obstruct deliveries of food hunger has become a weapon of war and its use is more prevalent now than it anytime in the last twenty years. save the children has looked at child hunger in the world's ten worst conflicts it's found that four point five million children under five will need treatment for mt nutrition this year but five hundred ninety thousand a likely to miss out on the care they need and die of starvation and disease that's an average of sixteen hundred a day or one child a minute i think what we've seen this time is a book can kind of a two decades trend where double hunger has been decreasing for the first time in

that time period is now increasing and complex is behind so. yes it's always been there but i think we're seeing a much more acute pinch on children across particularly eastern countries in some areas starvation is a military strategy in others war disrupts food production which in turn leads to hunger. in the democratic republic of congo years of fighting has displaced large numbers of people from their homes aid groups a three hundred thousand children are at risk conflicts disrupt people's ability to farm to keep their livestock jobs disappear it can lead to economic collapse that causes food prices to skyrocket so even people who are miles and miles and miles away from any active fighting or find that they are no longer able to afford the simplest of meals fighting in just ten countries is now responsible for reversing a twenty year decline in global hunger save the children is calling for governments

around the world to protect children and hold to account those responsible for using food as a weapon victoria gave him be al jazeera. the united states is expected to shut down palaces diplomatic mission in washington it's in response to palestinian efforts to get the international criminal court to investigate israel we will pursue our the ferals to the international criminal court and those who are about going to courts should stop committing crimes and in the next forty eight hours our response will be to make and you would be fair and on the. decision by the israeli high court to demolish this village more now from our correspondent harry for save him ramallah. well the head of the p.l.o. mission to washington who's been here in ramallah since he was withdrawn by the palace in president mahmoud abbas in may he says that he was informed of this

a sense of what's been going on but one set of tribal leaders has already said that they're not prepared to meet with him that's not really a surprise because those that he will be meeting are the ones he's most likely to have established links with already those who are refusing to meet him probably have allegiances which lie elsewhere in the parliament the people of basra of course have been calling for months for somebody from the government to come and visit their city to see for themselves what the problems are but so far that hasn't happened it is likely that the prime minister is trying to address that situation by making this visit but of course the people of basra are going to say that they've been talking for months about the problems they have for the salah nation and the water that's always in the thousands of people with the problems they have of power outages which stopped the air conditioning systems work in the cottage parts in the days and of course the thousands of people who are without jobs will be saying that would be complaining about that for so long and yet nothing has been

done what is likely to happen in a short space of time when the prime minister is visiting the city today on the streets. there are rumors there might be some protest outside where the prime minister is going to be staying the prime minister has made a statement from basra in which he totally rejects any attack on diplomatic missions and consulates and of course that's following the ball burning and attacking of various private and public buildings in russia which included the iranian consulate in the violence that we saw last week there was a heavy security presence in basra and now there's an ongoing push is be wading through the city in the white flying flags it was one of those who is building was burned during the protests last week and it's saying it's looking for those responsible for the combination of having a heavy security presence and the armed groups on the streets is likely to raise

tension even further. russia and japan say they're ready to find a solution that could end a decades long dispute over an island chain that's claimed by both countries the russian president vladimir putin and japanese prime minister shinzo albay made the comments after meeting invited all stark both leaders say they're moving towards a peace treaty to formally end second world war hostilities the two countries have never signed a treaty because of the dispute over the. russia sees them at the end of the war. the relations between our countries progress for the first time in our history including joint military cooperation. today i would like to have authority talk on bilateral issues including economic questions also on international issues and cooperation with russia in this field i would also like to discuss our historic task to sign a peace treaty with. the un's new human rights chief reserved to the new body be

created to investigate alleged crimes committed against me a mass range of minority michelle basher let's comments come after the international criminal court ruled last week that it does have jurisdiction over the mass exodus of range of refugees that are fled to neighboring bangladesh i also welcome efforts by member states at this council to stablish an independent international mechanism for myanmar to collect consolidate preserve and analyze every dance of the most serious international crimes in order to expedite fair and independent trials in national and international courts this mechanism would also complement and support the preliminary examination of the i.c.c. prosecutor i urge the council to pass a resolution and refer the matter to the general assembly for its indorsement so that such a mechanism can be established. sweden faces a period of lengthy political wrangling now after an election in which no single

party won a majority but the far right sweden democrats made significant gains and shown a whole ripples from stockholm. the center left social democrats have been the biggest party in every swedish election for a century true again this time but not by far and it's a relief it's be their worst result ever i think it's fine the problem now is how can we make it. how can you be governed with this since it's really hard to see. how to how to make a statement of governance this is an election that seen support shift from the center to the extremes coalition building will be tough one big winner has been the empty immigrant sweden democrats are not as big as they'd hoped the story of the night is that while the far right has become a force in swedish politics they won't be taking over just yet what would seem harry is a political earthquake. really god's will is political history and i think that

they're the leaders of the two big parties social democrats and the moderate party need to listen to this single from the swedish people need to do saying that the policies that the sweetest people want to see the rise of the far right in sweden meant voters took to the election with customary enthusiasm even if many harbored deep concerns terrible i just want to cry when i think about it they see. awful things i mean yeah of course we have a lot of refugees here we need to take care of them they come from a terrible place terrible for us we can't just throw them out immigration and integration have been front and center in a divisive vote with this country's famous values of tolerance and openness at stake so sweet it isn't in danger of becoming a far right state and nor are the sweden democrats even likely to make it into government no party at this stage will even talk to them but they are likely to

continue to exert and in direct influence on the way ahead having already succeeded to the horror of many. in putting nationalism and identity politics on the swedish agenda peter waller dusky is editor in chief of one of sweden's major daily newspapers the tone has already changed it has changed a lot and i think the major change came in two thousand and fifteen after the big refugee crisis a lot of refugees came in sweden in a very short time span and the systems here didn't work properly and lot of people reacted to that and the sweden democrats are sort of logical consequence of the well they searched in the polls as a result of that crisis and they've stayed on that kind of result since some swedes will tell you the rise of the far right is overblown that this country has never been happier or more prosperous but extreme politics are in sweden to state now and

many other swedes see trouble ahead jonah hill al-jazeera stocco. the afghan government has begun construction on a town that soley for female police officers in kabul there are about three thousand female officers in the country that's just two percent of the total force in an effort to encourage more women to join the government's offering them secured housing charlotte brothers reports from kabul. female police officers are a relatively new phenomenon in afghanistan. the police force was rebuilt sixteen years ago and there are now one hundred sixty thousand officers but only three thousand women. that i can feel there is danger for female peace officers in afghanistan but when i joined the police i decided on that day country or coffin which means i kept the danger i want to be a role model for our people to serve them sincerely so the culture changes and lots of women join the. finding and retaining women is a challenge is

a cultural hurdle convincing parts of society that women should work it's also dangerous as i saw in the taliban specifically target the military and police during shift and after hours. one of the nation's most senior police woman brigadier general hekmatyar who had no idea to improve the female to male ratio build a town only for police woman to protect and their families as a gift from the government. i am also a mother and i'm looking for the safety of these women i know how difficult it is place to make a city for them it's all for the safety from where i'm standing rise the first of ten five story buildings to be built across the site for three hundred policewoman and their families around the perimeter will be a high security wall with six guards how to protect the people inside. the plans include a daycare center and school for nearly seven hundred children along with

a medical clinic and gym for women. the total cost is. one hundred twenty million dollars canada has put thirty million towards the first phase of building the issue security is not a hypothetical one earlier this year al-jazeera spoke with the family of nor hire a menorah two sisters who are working as police officers and badakhshan province when they were targeted and killed by the taliban in kabul the security elite a watching these stories where they hurt recruitment even without a brick laid the site is already listed with towers and armed guards building confidence that they can and will protect women as they push towards the goal of five thousand female officers by twenty twenty i think it's responsibility and duty for every afghan woman our men should stand side by side and fight for our country there are no short cuts to equality in this nation moving security and gender equality and the right direction comes one shovel at
