ali is searching up a new confrontation for next year president mark cross says he wants to give forty percent more international aid and france is heading the g. seven next year it wants all the members which include the u.s. to give more jamesburg zero of the united nations turkey's president richard type says so-called radical groups have begun withdrawing from the demilitarized zone in syria's province earlier this month turkey russia and iran agreed to create a zone separating opposition fighters and government forces under the deal hardline groups will withdraw but it's not yet clear where they're supposed to go then hala has more from beirut. the so-called radical groups there are quite a number of them in a province labeled terrorist by the international community because of their links with al qaida the smaller groups like the dean and of course you have the military alliance. the biggest military alliance and the main force in this in the south is

the former group known as al nasra front these groups are supposed to be leaving the demilitarized zone as part of the deal we're hearing the turkish president say that they have begun to withdraw we still have not heard from the sham in fact a few days ago they said that they will be making their final decision. in the coming days whether or not they are going to comply we have heard from the smaller groups like the d.n.a. and. they're saying that we are not going to comply this is an agreement this is a conspiracy rebel group should unite and launch attacks against the government instead but in their statements they also leave room to maneuver and they actually say that we're going to leave it up to our scholars to decide but turkey really is confident that they will be able to implement this deal on the ground that we heard from the turkish presidential spokesman just a few days ago saying that no obstacle is going to stand in our way turkey has been using two methods really first dialogue persuasion telling this group that you

really don't have much of a choice and we understand they've had some success because they're peeling away the rank and file and isolating really the hard core elements in these groups and for example hate factory to sham a substantial amount of fighters are syrians and it would be easier to convince them to lay down their arms and of course at the same time turkey is using the threat of force they have a military plan in place they intend to use the modern so-called moderate opposition forces on the ground to take on these radical groups of these radical groups refused to surrender and what we understand from turkish sources close to the government the turkish intelligence is also ready to take action if those radical groups do not comply with this demilitarized zone. a protest have been taking place in the occupied west. bank against the u.s. decision to end its funding for a war un agency helps palestinians and is seen as a vital lifeline in the region protesters also put on a show of solidarity for palestinian president mahmoud abbas before his speech at the un general assembly on thursday imran khan is at the jealous zone refugee camp

in the occupied west bank. well these people might get what's. making is very loud in the message is played dignity is. is the u.s. d.c. relief on those on the road programs that allow schools like this one in refugee camps to function very school doesn't have to take them to be given them a little money and all of the words that the school will have to shut down and it's the case of schools like this because of the people who. are going to come from now on the role the u.n. relief agency has to refugees is trying to. make up the shortfall. hasn't been able to do that. and is very much concerned that it will have to start shutting down programs they do say they have some money here and

some programs like this all of these children as i say really absolutely want to get this message across that there were schools. because of the funds. plenty more ahead on this news hour including the u.k.'s opposition labor party backs the palestinian cause voting to ban arms sales to israel. the first high profile celebrity to go to prison since the meat to movement gain momentum. and later in sport the race to host the twenty twenty four european football championships is in the final stretch and he will tell us which countries are in the running. still ahead but first the u.n. general assembly will focus on the spread of tuberculosis particularly in developing regions south africa has the second highest rate of tb infection in

scientists even defense contractors to work for the chinese government adrian brown has more from beijing. well this could all be very embarrassing to china's government especially its security service but on wednesday a spokesman for china's foreign ministry told reporters that in his words i know nothing about this well that's not the case with officials at the u.s. justice department they say the g. child churn left china in two thousand and thirteen after being recruited by china's ministry of state security they say while in the united states g. studied electrical engineering at the illinois institute of technology and while there he had another job and that was to obtain biographical information on naturalized americans who'd been born in china and taiwan who were working in sensitive areas like defense as well as aerospace the idea being to eventually recruit those individuals to work for the chinese state now while all this was

happening g. was somehow able to enlist as a u.s. army reservist under a program which allows migrants to do this if they can prove they have skills that are vital to the united states now if g.e. is found guilty he could face up to ten years in jail and of course all of this happening at a time of deepening tension between china and the united states now a new report has accused china of building new power plants that use as much coal as the entire u.s. coal fleet environmental group coal swarm analyzed satellite images of the one hundred coal power plants that the chinese government said it suspended in january last year their findings show there is ongoing construction in many of these sites across the country when complete these stations will increase china's overall coal power by twenty five percent the new findings contradict beijing's pledge to tackle climate change it was already a surge in new coal projects between twenty fourteen and twenty sixteen. as part of

its commitment to the two thousand and fifteen paris climate change agreement china vowed to begin reducing its emissions no later than twenty thirty this report comes just ahead of the one planet summit on the sidelines of the un general assembly an initiative of french president emmanuel mccrone and i speak now to laurie milli virtue in helsinki on skype he is one of the report's authors and a senior analyst for the global air pollution unit greenpeace thanks very much for being with us so how do we square the findings of this report with the chinese government's stated policy of reducing global of reducing emissions and moving towards a more greener future. it's definitely a very conflicting picture john is going to use remarkable development in clean energy at the same time there is already massive existing overcapacity in coal tar

ball lands china already has many more ponds that it needs many local governments and companies have. to build new ones even the the central government has been trying to discourage them and. ordering them to stop the nie report this using at last satellites imagery. expose blonds that continue to construction in spite of these orders so. it remains a tug of war between different players in china unfortunately. their reason trend has been negative the government has put more emphasis on stimulating the economy with new construction projects and industrial projects regardless of whether there is need for that new capacity so do you believe that that's what's going on and that's what behind this is some sort of

internal struggle in the in the chinese government over what their priorities should be because presumably they that they had to know that there are satellites up there and that they can take pictures of whatever is happening below the ground at any time. is trying to spin trying to move during new economy model that three lives less on investment and construction projects just the economy but that has proved very hard so there is clearly a backlash where where these kinds of projects are being used to prop up the economy even though it leads to overcapacity. so what do you expect this to go then obviously the. reporters uncovered here is quite damning but do you do you expected to make any difference in the end. china has very strong reasons domestically to move away from coal to clean energy pollution

lack of water resources and your urgency to tackle climate change which is also recognized at the top level of the government so we do hope that exposing the fact that these projects have. kept moving ahead and highlighting the problem of our overcapacity will help push things in the right direction. could speak to the. thank you so much you two our people in vietnam are lining up to pay their last respects to their late president as the country begins two days of mourning tranda died on friday after suffering from a rare virus state funeral will be held on thursday on was widely criticized internationally for his crackdown on political dissent vice president during the knocked in has been named acting president becoming vietnam's first female leader

a choice we took the partner that was given to us the reporters who worked on an investigation into the raw deal also questioned ananda over alliances funding of a film by his polynesia the guy at the time. we spoke to on twice on the phone and his comments were very clear and very precise he said the financing of julie guy is filmed by ambani had nothing to do with the raphael contract because he said indian or thorough she's imposed reliance on them he was adamant on this and no doubt he didn't realize the impact this would have in india and you know money for so long was defending himself against accusations of a conflict of interest over the financing of his partner's film but his comments of had a much wider impact they said french foreign ministry officials who worry about the relationship between new day. and paris being damaged and they also calls down on the integrity of and it all fits. the bill to renegotiate with.

the level of sexual abuse committed against children in this country in recent times by elements within the catholic church here in the city of the catholic church in germany is holding its bishops conference and at a news conference a little earlier germany's leading catholic church man was confronted with some very harrowing insights into precisely herron many young people who are abused by peter for priests. in all clarity i say sexual abuse is a crime whoever is guilty of it must be punished for far too long the church has either turned a blind eye to it or tried to cover it up for all the failures on the hurt i asked the leader of the church in germany i must apologize parts of the research we saw at that news conference pulled no punches basically saying that those that we know about now those cases are just the tip of the iceberg and for the victims who have heard what was said there the question now is is that enough what more do they want

the catholic church to do to recognize the problem that it has created in this country and really hope there are some bishops. talking that way that at the end of the other week they will come up with a declaration saying that we admit that we as a as a church are guilty as an organization and that therefore we accept that a proper investigation an independent investigation needs to be done now an inquiry one element. that emerged from this news conference is clear but these are the cases we know about these more than three thousand cases but the speculation the informed speculation is that there could be very many more victims out there who we just don't know about the question will be what does the catholic church do for them going on from this conference that's taking place in fold this week. are

tunisia's president has ended his alliance with the conservative party that could lead to mass protests and deepen the economic turmoil coalition government was hailed as the arab spring is the only democratic success ever morgan reports. in a move that some had feared tunisia's president badge of courage a subsea appeared on television to announce the end of his alliance with the end of the party a government ally since twenty fourteen. and nada has now parted with the subsea opted for another course and i hope it's in the best interests of the country which i doubt. the alliance was a result of an election that brought president is sixty's new debt to his party to power and i came second in the polls since a twenty eleven uprising which started with became known as the arab spring tunis he had had nine cabinets all faced economic problems which included high inflation and unemployment the coalition had been regarded as the arab spring only democratic
