6:04 pm
updates on the best of al-jazeera documentaries. i was looking for a no and the other student rewind continues with. my neighborhood i was like screaming good list includes we want leave. my ultimate goal would be to do something very big for the pretty. rewind on al-jazeera. and there again you're watching out there has reminder of our top stories this hour venezuela's president nicolas maduro has offered to hold parliamentary elections as he fights demands to resign but his rival. and his supporters at home and abroad
6:05 pm
are demanding a presidential. peace still being signed aimed at ending six years of fighting between muslims and christians in public government leaders struck the deal with fourteen groups after a week of talks in sudan backed by the united nations and can union. and the last four child refugees held in the strain one tensions enter the pacific island have now root of being resettled in the u.s. for their families government says it won't send any more children. the highest child mortality rates and no new government hospitals built since the fall of communism romania admits his health care system is in crisis and leaders say corruption is to blame i don't sleep reports from booker. corruption kills people and in romania hospitals do not necessarily make people better bucharest children's hospital was built in one nine hundred eighty two and much of the equipment doctors and nurses have at their disposal looks like it hasn't changed in
6:06 pm
the thirty seven years since inside the hospital lies one year old iron valentino to mr diagnosed by a doctor he's now in a coma his young parents are living in the hospital as his body breaks down in front of them they look completely destroyed. he's made no recovery since he came here his lungs are starting to collapse and his little heart is as well he's on life support they've killed my son images obtained by al-jazeera of the conditions inside some of romania's public hospitals are barely believable this is the pathology units where human tissue was stored inside the hospital in one of romania's biggest cities clues the european union offered one hundred seventy million dollars worth of funding for three new wells bittles a full five years ago but the work hasn't even started the crisis led carmen and on a former business women to launch a crowdfunding campaign to build a new hospital in the capital stepping in where the government has failed they
6:07 pm
already raised nearly twenty million dollars there was a look back i don't know your risk lapping there remain a state in the face or showing them it's possible in a country where impossible is about you're always told regarding the first hospital in the country for children with cancer after thirty years of incompetence from their remaining state. so this is it's the first new hospital to be built in romania since the fall of communism paid for by the public it'll be finished years before the government gets around to building them you may well ask yourself how it can be that so a group of business women with no healthcare background can build a hospital from scratch in romania while the government apparently colt's wall on so is that corrupt officials don't want seems european funding because they have to account for it and can't simply stick the money in their pockets the other theory is that they're all just completely incompetent probably the truth is somewhere in the middle no doubt there are politicians who want to do something about all this
6:08 pm
but they're up against a huge wall of corruption the current health minister run a relatively successful hospital herself but she admitted to us the system is broken with officials stealing money from public funds yeah. i had bought an m.r.i. scanner for five hundred thousand but here they bought one for two and a half million the exact same one this explains a lot it didn't need explaining someone stole two million euros on the pretense of buying medical equipment we both understand the reasons you have to say it's hardly a great indorsements of the current president of the european union's who admits to thinks it won't be able to build a new hospital for another five years anyway it'll all be too late for florian and denise are they watching their baby son die in front of their eyes killed by corruption largely al-jazeera book or rest. apartment building has collapsed in the syrian city of aleppo killing eleven people including four children

6:11 pm
was two months ago and the u.n. promised that they would return in less than a month but they haven't come yet. it was in the member when aid reached for the first time in almost a year the united nations says it has verbal approval from damascus and moscow for a new aid convoy they're hoping to reach those in need in the next few days. camp lies within us russian agreed the escalation zone all sides accusing each other of hindering the delivery of aid the syrian government's siege of rock band is a tactic that has used in the past and rebel controlled areas to bring about a surrender this time however the united states is accusing damascus and its russian and iranian allies of using aid to pressure washington to leave it. there are reports the trumpet ministration plans to keep troops in kind of base to counter iranian activity despite its planned withdrawal from the north east

6:14 pm
vanuatu's government believes the world's big polluters should compensate it for the damage that climate change does here and that if they won't voluntarily through treaties and agreements then they'll try to force them to through the threats of legal action the government is considering suing big polluting countries and fossil fuel companies we're working with a number of lawyers in different parts of the world who are also looking at our evidence base that we're going to need to prove in court that would be hard suing a company needs to happen in that company's national court giving them the home advantage taking legal action against the country means going to the international court of justice it only considers cases where the country being sued agrees to the case being heard but there is another avenue here that can take and that is to ask for an advisory opinion. and that isn't legally binding but it does set the
6:15 pm
direction and it gives the world a sense of exactly how. the legal issues that i want to sleep is hope the possibility that countries will companies might have to pay compensation one day will increase their potential financial liabilities now scaring off investors unless they take action to minimize those risks so those legal action is the threats found a wall too would rather settle out of court after thomas al-jazeera pulled. a us state government has changed his story about a face which is causing a racism scandal most of them says he's not in the face twenty four hours after apologizing for where there could cost him a photo taken in one thousand nine hundred four has provoked increasing calls for the resignation of the democrats from the ginia my belief that i did not wear that costume or attend that party stems in part from my clear memory of all the mistakes i made in the same period of my life. that same year i did

6:44 pm
really be a neutral moderator between palestinians and israelis that pronouncement makes it clear that the answer is no that it states is not in a neutral position to to really be able to help policy is in israelis reach peace through negotiations are we likely to see more violence in jerusalem so easy resilin has been targeted on a systematic process of displacement of palestinians by the israeli government and they go neighborhood by neighborhood targeting homes that they think are more vulnerable and easier to get a court ruling to get the palestinians out and move in a sattler see how policy means respond to what is happening right now on the ground is a question that activists. our a grappling with there are a lot of conversations happening particularly desir which marks the thirtieth anniversary of the first intifada around what lessons they can learn from that
6:45 pm
uprising that took place in the late eighty's and one of the most successful movements to actually raise the question of policy in independence today to a national level and got very close to finding a solution to madrid and washington negotiations and so that activism that took the form mostly of nonviolent resistance strategies and also creation of peril of situations for the ultimate viability of a palestinian state those strategies are being revisited today by palestinians for you personally what sort of work are you doing on violence a resistance sure i'm a documentary filmmaker for the past fourteen years i've worked with a nonprofit called just vision bringing attention to palestinians and israelis who are using nonviolent strategies to end the occupation so we believe that sort of
6:46 pm
regular media coverage of the conflict through its focus on violence and up nurturing an environment where violence becomes is seen as the most viable method for palestinians to get their costs in an international stage so we want to highlight the stories of individuals and groups and communities using nonviolent resistance and we continue to do that doing about so thanks for talking to us here on rewind thank you amounts of from us to join us again next week and do check out the rewind paid zero dot com for more films from the series before now thanks for joining us and syrian soon. rewind returns a can bring your people back to life from start with brand new updates on the best of al-jazeera documentaries in the living i was the focus of the us a no and the other student rewind continues with joseph's journey this is
