u.s. back a dish fight has to be terrorists and wants them removed from areas near its border with syria now going to die has more now from close to the techie syria border. a spokesman for president on has a reluctant to bolton's comments say totty has absolutely no problem with a cardinal collection in hockey and that the problem of turkey is with two particular groups the wikipedia and p.k. k. which turkey recognizes the terrorist organizations and states that it's easy to be disrespectful for bolton to say that the been group was employed by these two organizations who are the spokesman called terrorist of calls we've seen a situation where there's been a secret ambled by regional powers to try and feel a possible void of the us troop withdrawal with out of countries rushing into measures to mend relationships with assad and reopening off embassies by the united

arab emirates and behind for example pulled off to put in check and tatties influence in syria once the us troops withdraw but us push on that has been criticised by city and opposition groups who called mr assad a living will whether he is good at that by a falzon or even a million leaders across the world. so at a press conference with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu bolton also insisted that withdrawing american troops from syria won't be a threat to israel's security stephanie deca has that story for us from west jerusalem not much concrete came out of that press conference of course the two countries reiterating the incredible support for each other john bolton saying that the troop withdrawal would happen but not without ensuring that israel defensive israel's security was montane this is of course going to be top of the agenda

israel's main concerns inside syria is the presence of iranian backed militias is the presence of hezbollah and any potential weapons that can reach the group and can threaten israel security now the israeli prime minister will be taking john bolton up to the occupied golan heights. and of course will be keen to show him the operation that israel has been undertaking there against tunnels that were dug by hezbollah also a message there in that press conference calling on the international community saying it was time for them to recognize the golden heights of course that israel occupied after the one nine hundred sixty seven war so syria and iran the threat of iran will be top of the of course bolton looking to reassure israel that the troop withdrawal is not going to be a threat to israel's security of course the timing of that now very much up in the air i think no one really knows exactly how and when that is going to happen. well

now we go to afghanistan where at least thirty people have died off the flooding triggered a landslide in an illegal gold mine rescue as a searching for survivors in the northeastern province of shonn police say around fifty people were digging for gold when they were caught in a flash flood the villages had dug a shot in a dry riverbed which had been mined for gold in the pasta. election officials in the democratic republic of congo saying that voters are going to have to wait another week for the plenary results of the presidential election the initial outcome of last week's vote choose a successor to president joseph kabila was due to be declared on sunday but not a heart of the votes still have been counted arma tasso reports now from kinshasa. the head of the electoral commission. says he would not be rushed into making an announcement preliminary results were meant to be declared on sunday instead the people at the d r c were told to wait

a few more days. for the release of provisional results won't happen today because the collection of result is still going across the country it's a huge challenge but we are working very hard to a nasty result as possible. the election campaign was occasionally marred by violence in some areas on polling day several voters complained of logistical problems saying some of the voting machines which would be nice for the first time didn't work some congolese were unable to. break and conflict in parts of the country. the streets of kinshasa are calm as people wait for the results consistent elections in two thousand and six and two thousand and eleven little violent street protests election officials say they have counted just over fifty percent of the votes they say the process is slow and asking people to remain calm by law only the electoral commission can announce results supporters of the magnus

a diary president joseph kabila the preferred candidate say they are confident he has won we are not giving a result of the presidential election but according to a bold to one million. machines that do we have. in. the country we can say that we are claiming victory all for emmanuelle of amazon shari for election. the government has cut internet and islamist services saying it's to stop the fake results circulating on social media if the results aren't disputed italy congo's first democratic transfer of power since independence. this is a historical time for the congo. a peaceful transition of power in this country everybody really for the moment you see this is not. a peaceful transition and could give legitimacy to the administration of the next president whoever that's

going to be. joining me in the studio now is. he is president of the congolese opposition in the diaspora so this is a coalition of opposition voices that are all around the globe obviously outside of the d r c thank you very much for coming to speak to us first of all if i can get your response to this that we now have another delay in the election results being released. yes a very sad. thing is been a very continuously happening in the congo overall when we can see what is happening and the result of having again a delay on the outcome of the election which people really have been awaiting we have been a witnessing this delay tactic by the regime and it is another form of using corruption to avoid telling people to choose what the government is doing because his main elected sort of person to be elected is a legal position and we want to government to set issues they are just wasting time just to delay the outcome of the election but in avoided saying the truth that of

course we know that the democratic republic of congo's election commission has been speaking out there saying that the results are coming in very slowly very gradually that means it's taking a little bit longer why not wait to see what the results show before crying foul i think we have to come to a small where food observing what is happening this is some election commission has been a delay in the elections since the two thousand and sixteen we have a view different tactic above the delay i think we can not witnessing this can i ask you this i'm not going to ask this question but let me go through if this this december election commission has a refusal with the government input to do refuse to come out with the use of internet in a country this top people from accessing the internet to stop people from the freedom of expression they are now delaying the outcome of the election just because the government does want to say they choose to come to the end of the government as a firm we said it would come from the cut of your clothes already so i take my grandson your point of view but of course we have to look at all the arguments and

what you have a dence is that so far of that why do you say this what are we going to evidence of from the cutter legally how to mourn in forty thousand observant every polling station people come out to to come up to election already is it just a small thing to do the government is just nor willing to set a truce and we are expecting the government a signature because of people been waiting for this election for years and they have expressed them serve to see the change of regime and is have to be selected so then you must. be disappointed that the african union and the south african development community they are both present inside the country and they've been obviously watching this all very closely and i think the essay d.c. said the election was well managed and smith is a very surprised to hear that because we already know around the golden globe that election we're cultic we didn't witness a proper election happening or recording election where people were stopped from voting where we see the polling station being closed before time we witness a polling station being open late we have witness some of these machines and the

regularities as you say have been documented and also we know that there have been obstacles for election observers over there the colleagues i don't know if you're speaking to any of your colleagues in the day r.c. right now what are their plans if they are not satisfied with these results are they planning to to challenge the result was a very very serious issue and respecting now the international community especially what the usa has taken a position to go and help the on the citizen of all or the country should go in a particular people during the storm because of people suspected to see the real change to be the way to do this for long and the peoples are determining to see really credible outcome of the election and it does have to happen just very briefly can i ask you could you concede we've already seen violence and protests in the country could there be more violence in the coming weeks and months is a really predictable because people suspect you to see the change and the government it's been a using the delay tactic has been using force to kill or you know citizen and to use different forms of abuse including or to mediation the congolese people we come

to this to do we want to see a change of regime for this to be told the country who have to contribute in our planet thank you very much for coming in to speak to us the key to turn goma really appreciate miriam thank you when now we go to sudan where police have been using tear gas and stun grenades to stop thousands of anti-government protesters reaching the presidential palace this is the latest in a series of demonstrations against president tomorrow bashir which began on december nineteenth anger over rising food prices and government corruption have led to calls for bashir to step down at least one thousand people have died since the unrest started but some rights groups are putting the figure much higher they were morgan brings us more now from the capital hard to him. anti-government protests are in its third week once again you've seen people marching out and streets demonstrating against the rule of president obama and bush are they saying that they want president obama to shoot to end his twenty one year rule and step down something he said he's not going to do so people are saying that they will not stop protesting and demonstrating in the streets and so the president gives into

their demands now we've seen people being separated from the crowd in protest using live ammunition and tear gas something that has happened over and over again during the previous protests and certainly something that has happened today people have the police have been using tear gas and level munitions to disperse protesters foreign governments have said that the police are using excessive force against protesters who are armed and making their demands known to the government and to the world now opposition figures of also come out and said that they understand why people are demonstrating in the streets and that they are lending their support to these people who are protesting and that they also want the president to step down and hand over power to an interim council it's not clear how that would happen but the thing is the president has said that he's not going to step down he did offer some kind of economic concessions he said that he was going to improve the living wages for civil workers and he's going to increase their salaries he also promised that he was going to look into the matters of the protesters and how they were being handled by the police amnesty international says at least thirty seven people have been killed that was within the first week of the protests and opposition

figures have been saying more and more people have been killed since then it's not clear yet how if people have died but what we do know is that eleven munition and tear gas has been used to disperse protesters and that people have been arrested for demonstrations in the streets it's not clear where this would go and how it would end the government says that they're going to try to ease the situation for them people are saying that they will continue to protest so sudan seems to be in for a long haul between the government and the protesters it with the news hour live from london well still ahead. but i would be more. but francis urges european leaders to find a safe port for forty nine migrants stranded at sea off the coast of malta. nothing to see here is the u.s. landmarks and government departments remain in shutdown the president digs in reiterating his threat to invoke emergency powers to fund his border war and then later it's forced it on lucky seven from manchester city's opponents in the push.

thousands of people have been displaced in east in myanmar after violence between an armed but its rebel group and security forces the arcana army attacked police post and state on friday killing thirteen officers this is the same region where a military crackdown in two thousand and seventeen drive seven hundred thousand wranglers across the border into bangladesh charlotte ballasts has more. parents piled their children and animals into boats fleeing fighting in rakhine state they cross the creek and build a makeshift camp away from the bullets there was heavy fighting between a buddhist rebel group and the security forces nearby. the u.n. estimates twenty five hundred people fled similar violence in december that number is now expected to be much higher. the rebel group is the our economy whose members

say they are fighting for greater autonomy for kinds buddhist population. they posted this video to mark the night then of the street last year since november they've increased their attacks on facebook they posted these photos of ammunition as well as police and civilians captured in friday's race they were later released . ministry of information confirms the latest preach. an attack on full police outpost near the bangladeshi border the government responded this is a carefully planned premeditated attack to harm the lives and property of the people and to further aggravate the instability in rakhine state it is learned that the security forces will take effective offensive actions to crush the terrorist attacks of the ark and. the fighting is bad news for the muslim or seven hundred thousand were driven from or kind stakes across the border into bangladesh during the military crackdown that began in twenty seven tane and say estimated thousands

were killed during the exodus the increase fighting now another reason why they cannot return. the military announced a four month ceasefire against other rebel groups in north and east myanmar in december but were kind state was excluded the arak an army says the military is using the truce to double down and rakhine the source of almost embarrassment if you will that they would have been hit not only several times by the regime. related supposedly related armed groups but now by an erstwhile sort of silent or latent arc an army that has been waiting for its chance and so yes i would expect to see unfortunately a far heavier hand being brought to bear rakhine state than we've seen in recent years. so these people must fashion together their future using bamboo and string and whatever their backs can bear a life of displacement and survival becoming the norm for those born in me en masse rakhine state shallop ballasts. street violence and fire bombing of

continued for a fifth day now in northeastern brazil despite the deployment of hundreds of members of the elite national police force over one hundred people have been arrested after a series of often attacks on vehicles and public buildings in the state of say r.-a two suspects were killed in a shootout in the state capital a fourth elites or organized crime bosses are said to be behind this violence they are angry at new president gyre paulson are as plans to tighten prison regulations pope francis is paying leaders to stop arguing over forty nine migrants stranded off the coast of malta and help them the head of the roman catholic church urged the member states to allow the migrants to land on their shores jan reports. in front of an audience of tens of thousands gathered at st peter's square pope francis asked european union leaders to stop bickering and allow two humanitarian

ships with refugees and migrants rescued at sea to dock now by ricky jordan me for several days and forty nine people rescued in the mediterranean sea have been on board two ships seeking a safe port where they can disembark. thirty two of those rescued at sea are on the sea watch three the rescue ship is operated by a german humanitarian group the refugees were saved from their unsafe boats on december twenty second among them my three children and four teenagers evaluate box . well being is beyond hope to see you know. let's see some weeks. no sleeping because what do we. you know. do i see. a second ship called c.i. operated by different german group rescued seventeen people on december twenty ninth and it too is waiting for

a port to dock we had. good times and really hot times together with our guests the good times for example last christmas when we had a band at a nice party on the offtake celebrating together. with them and we had hot times when there was a storm and there was heavy wind and high waves and when everybody was afraid and unsecure and unsafe. those onboard the two ships include people from different countries many are seasick after stormy crossings. but i make a heartfelt appeal to european leaders that they show some concrete solidarity with respect to these people. both italy and malta have closed their ports to boats who've rescued refugees and migrants from the sea. their stance follows the hard line taken by many e.u. countries on immigration. the netherlands and germany say they will take some of

those on the ships but for now all these people can do is hope and pray that a message from the head of the roman catholic church will allow them to set foot on land paul trotter gian al jazeera. donald trump ezell talks with his white house advisers at the presidential retreat camp david to discuss the partial government shutdown this after talks on saturday broke down without any success the shutdown is now in its third week eight hundred thousand government workers have not been paid and many are not working at all it's affecting essential services across the country with low income communities bearing the brunt the program that provides more than thirty eight million americans with food assistance is running out of money and may have to make drastic cuts if the shutdown continues ninety five percent of employees in the housing department are not being paid either and that means safety inspections of homes for low income families the elderly and people with disabilities have all been suspended and the money for rental assistance is

also drying up some of america's largest tourist attractions have closed others have stayed open with minimal staffing and help from volunteers to contain overflowing trash bins and toilets gaboriau as ondo reports now from washington. as donald trump emerged from the white house on sunday he was a president as defiant as ever in his position over five billion for a border wall where the government remains shut down and then there's a possibility of even more extreme measures to get what he wants i may declare a national emergency dependent so what's going to happen over the next few days but i think we're going to have. some very serious so. one day they would say we have sad border security we don't have border security we're going to be crime ridden and it's going to get worse and worse. over the weekend between the white house and staff members of key congressional democrats you know agreement many parts of the

government remain closed eight hundred thousand federal employees either per load or working without pay if trump declares a national emergency along the southern border it would give him vast powers to do what he wants without congressional approval but even if he does this it's still unclear where he would find the money to build the border wall that he wants some of the suggested it could come out of the budget of the defense department but democrats say that would be a mistake in this case i think the president would be wide open to a court challenge saying where's the emergency you have to establish that in order to do this but beyond that this would be a terrible use of department of defense dollars that these republican strategist bradley blakeman says one of the main reasons trump was elected was his promise to build a wall so he can't back down you know a staring contest who's going to blink first and i think the president has the

upper hand because he's made a fundamental promise democrats know it in the campaign he said read my lips in effect. we need border security a wall. republicans call it a wall democrats call it border security it's the same thing you're battling on. words semantics so i think it's the question of who blinks first that's the question as the shutdown enters a third week who will compromise and most importantly where so that the government can finally reopen keep rosendo al-jazeera washington now says news about u.s. military officials saying that the man suspected of planning the bombing of an american warship has been killed in an airstrike in yemen. but dolly was killed in a precision strike in yemen smar a government government on choose day seventeen sailors died when a small boat blew up the u.s.s. cole in aden in october two thousand. u.k.

prime minister terry's in may has admitted the nation will be in uncharted territory if a deal to leave the european union is rejected by parliament. restart debating a bracks it deal next week ahead of the fight that was perspiring from december parliament in the public remain deeply divided over leaving the e.u. but as an art scene reports from london one unexpected community is still firmly behind. this part of south london is home to people from all over the world afghans sell fruits and vegetables to eastern europeans and africans who rub along perfectly happily with british people who have lived here for generations you might assume this multicultural pockets of the capital is entirely against a brick say it's often portrayed as a defense of white's britain but not so for this nigerian restaurant there is a quiet satisfaction at the prospect of the u.k. cutting its ties with europe and starting to pay more attention to its historical

friends in the commonwealth diff they struggle for the right to stay in the u.k. while you citizens don't and they think it isn't fair so most of them leave before because we see bridges in rights to live in united kingdom after just a day when ten men naturalized in mad nationality to which is a lot of money well people come from europe to come to the country to this day this is them they don't need to go to india not so now to them because their countries part of europe the after that everything and we as a whole in pensacola i feel cheated i feel jealous about average africa like. africa i'm british we're glad move worked for brics because i know not because i win if i'm against the rupee and why it would give us this leverage in terms of treatment opportunity are walking. to go. men's has already tried to

indicate its support for the commonwealth the prime minister visited both kenya and nigeria last may in london the africa next patchett sloped all of this enthusiastically britain there in a low from nigeria especially without an idea is outcome going to talk more than i do know they believe there's so more from was that have a lot of you know thing investments in nigeria and the us are cutting their money from their own daily bases so they have to return something back to us. it is perhaps an open question what some hard call backs it is make of the support for their cause from black people after all some of the people on this rally in london carried white supremacist flags and hauled openly racist opinions the nigerians in london level this but they don't see beyond. it was in the referendum nearly two and a half years ago polling organizations have tried as hard as they can to understand

the voting intentions of almost every demographic but. the idea that people from commonwealth countries like nigeria mites of voted in large numbers to leave the european union is still an almost entirely untold story and one which may have had a bigger affects on the outcome of the referendum than has previously been understood. of course economic arguments that future british trading arrangements with the commonwealth wouldn't be anything like as lucrative for the u.k. as remaining in the e.u. but much of brics it is about emotion and not facts the idea of a reputed british commonwealth has many supporters here. al-jazeera. on the program you. independence from russia. on

independence he was handed over in the turkish city of istanbul off to a mass to mark the feast of the if any and as mohamed june now reports from moscow it's a decision made against a background of political turmoil between russia and ukraine. bartholomew the first the leader of the eastern orthodox church and a man at the center of what's being described as potentially one of the biggest rifts in christianity in recent times. with his signature on saturday he officially split most of ukraine's orthodox churches from centuries of russian jurisdiction. float off an emotive on sunday during a service in the turkish city of istanbul to mark the orthodox feast day of a pippen in the document for the separation also known as the thomas was officially handed over to the leader of the now independent ukrainian orthodox churches and most will be watching from the side of federal poroshenko the ukrainian president

he's pushed for ukraine's orthodox churches to split from what he and others have described as russian influence and propaganda ukraine's churches have been under pressure to sever ties since the country became independent after the breakup of the soviet union in one thousand nine hundred ninety one. and that pressure has been getting stronger since russia annexed crimea in two thousand and fourteen ukraine imposed martial law in november saying it feared a full scale invasion after russia captured three of its vessels in the current strait thermals of those. fish the ship and the toll most for us is actually another act of proclaiming ukraine's independence it will complete the assertion of independence of the ukrainian state strengthen religious freedom and enter confessional peace it will strengthen the rights and freedoms of citizens. in moscow political analysts say this is as much about politics as it is about religion and the impact for a church split on the relations between the us and the crane is

a work in you know for both positions of moscow but. in ukraine and. the long wait on the independence if you could in an orthodoxy over ukrainian state from russian influence in general the call to the split has been largely boycotted by ukraine's largest orthodox church which remains loyal to russia. moscow in the russian branch of the church have also cut ties with istanbul which is regarded as the center of the eastern orthodox faith it's unclear how all this will ultimately play out but for many in ukraine the creation of an orthodox church independent from moscow is a momentous step toward ukraine's political independence from russia. moscow. egypt's president sisi has integrated the country's largest church and the mosque the. mosque can accommodate over fifteen thousand worship as it is located in

egypt's new administrative capital in the desert east of kyra in the same area is the cathedral of the seventy which the government says is the largest in the middle east it's easy for me open to the coptic christian community on the eve of christmas it's seen as a symbolic message of tolerance in the predominantly muslim country which has seen a spate of attacks on christians. well now after weeks of speculation malaysia's king has abdicated from the throne the first time it's happened in the nation's history king mohammed the fifth came to power in december twenty sixth but took a leave of absence for medical reasons two months ago when he was reported to have married a former russian beauty queen in moscow malaysia has a unique system where the king is picked from the heads of nine states each of them serves a fixed five year term. the seventy sixth annual golden globe awards will be taking place in beverly hills in the coming hours.

a star is born featuring bradley cooper and lady gaga is expected to take home several awards the political comedy vice about us vice president dick cheney got the most nominations at six until the main rhapsody which chronicles the rise of the band queen has two nominations leading the way in the t.v. categories are the assassination of gianni versace and the thriller sharp objects here let's discuss this and more now with neil smith who is a contributing editor of total film magazine joins me in the studio now thanks very much for coming in so you must be very excited in anticipation of these awards just a couple of hours to go what are you watching out for because we have seen ceremonies that have been more politically charged in recent years how do you think this year is likely to compare i think this year is going to see a return to fun award ceremonies are supposed to be from there about glamour and celebrity and showbiz the last two golden globes have been quite politically

charged there's been speeches about trump has been oprah winfrey given what many people thought was almost the comeback you're pretty presidential stump speech at the time but i think this year we're just going to see some fun there will be some jibes i think donald trump and his border security problems are going to feature quite heavily in the in the jokes but i think mostly it's just going to be more of a lighthearted. kind of experience right so perhaps a different atmosphere and mood surrounding this ceremony how influential are the golden globes they're fairly the membership if you have both of them is could you quite small it's only about one hundred people journalists around the world mostly several folks down beverly hills but they can kind of get the ball rolling on certain films it's interesting that tomorrow the they start voting on the nominations for the academy awards or maybe some of the films that win tonight may kind of improve their chances by getting a couple things tonight and so although the it's. it doesn't always bode well for

you. it can help some from horton others and in terms of front runners who are mentioning there a star is born with bradley cooper and lady gaga he mean rap city vice as well i mean there are other films like mary poppins in various different categories but what are you particularly watching for i'm curious to see how vice does it's leading the way it's got six nominations so it's got more noise but the reviews have been very mix i wonder if the they may go into films would be better see for example the favorite which is the drama starring a lift home and very much a favorite for best actress award later a star is born is very much the favorite lady gaga has one of the before for a t.v. role and i have a feeling that's going to do quite well what is good about the golden globes or frustrating depending how you see is a divide between dramas musicals and comedies so that it means they can give out

twice as much wards it doesn't really answer which one goes into the the oscars favorite because they kind of spread the field as it were but as you say with the oscars coming up and no doubt the judges will be watching what happens here very closely with the rise of netflix and t.v. series and all of that coming to more prominence how does that affect these types of ceremonies does it make them more or less relevant will go on globes do so award television and they can it's interesting a golden globe may give this show picked up when we get maybe we commissioned if it does quite well what is interesting this year is that after some years of very heavy american dominance britain is coming back to the fore you've got shows that killing the show is like a bodyguard very british can do a survey of english can look back upon starring hugh grant so it's also there's a bit of a real going action against some of the heavy hitters like game of thrones that land done very well at golden globes now there would ceremonies in recent years

what's prompted that turning point with the. is it about i mean is it about content is about getting the right people to work on these projects or does it just come down to money and investment or that certainly helps but i think it's the amount of quality big names that turning to t.v. hugh grant for example is a classic example you would have seen them in the c.v. show but that's where the myths good material is coming and so amy adams is in sharp focus you mentioned. increasingly the roles that aren't there on on film are their own small screen and i think that's we share and why t.v. just keeps happening is game and britain is really starting to up its game again having after all this in the states domination right down to good thank you very much neal smith a contributing editor for total film magazine it's going to be a long night for you do enjoy it thank you. now the designation of mauritania in northwest africa is historically known as the land of

a million poets one of its oldest musical and storytelling traditions involves an instrument unique to the country which is played only by women and as nicholas hack reports modern technology is now being used to keep an eight hundred year old tradition alive. it is an invitation no man can refuse. in this conservative region of mauritania men dance for women. and women play for men at the heart of this tradition is this instrument the dean more than a harp it's also a drum. and produces note that do not exist in western music. only women can play it it's a tradition passed on from mothers to daughters since the thirteenth century.
