in. on al-jazeera. new yorkers are very receptive to al-jazeera because it is such an international city they're very interested in that global perspective that al-jazeera lives. back to this is the news hour live from my headquarters in doha coming up in the next sixty minutes to venezuela is stopped at the border the u.s. says it's only trying to help president adores government calls it a political stunt. u.s. brands kurdish fighters announced the imminence launch of a major offensive against i saw in eastern syria we'll have the latest also this

hour the trump administration misses a legal deadline to say what it intends to do about saudi arabia and. other. and i'm we're hard in with all the day's sport as brazilian football club flamingo struggles to come to terms with the death of ten of their youth team players killed in a training ground fire on friday. thank you for joining us the political crisis walking venezuela has turned into a standoff over a consignment of u.s. aid sitting on the colombian side of the border the opposition is trying to work out how to get it into the country after the aid was broncs by the venezuelan military on the orders of president nicolas maduro the opposition leader challenging madura for control of the country is urging the army to let it through let's take a look at what exactly is in those a. according to the u.s.

aid agency there is enough food to feed five thousand venezuelans for ten days they are hygiene kits for seven thousand five hundred people including soap and two of brushes there are also nutritional supplements with six thousand seven hundred manu is shouldering and also in the shipment high energy biscuits syfy to ten thousand kids for a month's. now we have two reporters on the ground covering this story for serious civil is in venezuela's capital caracas but for us we go to alison that i'm katie in on the colombia venezuela border where that aid is. also what is being done to let it into venezuela. but we spoke to a number of representatives they have an excellent opposition who are year hearing . they had meetings with usa id with the colombian out throughout the morning and what we know is that they are looking at two scenarios the first

one or at least two scenarios the first one is the one that was hinted to in friday's press conference by the last hour or so later the man that was sent by the opposition leader the white doll to coordinate this operation here at the border and that would be a massive demonstration at some point in the coming days or weeks at the border. it's expected to call for a concentration of people what they're calling a huge concentration of people that could overwhelm the soldiers and the military there at the border the second option the least likely one though is that there could also considering a number of small groups seven asylum volunteers that try to move some of the state into the country through illegal crossings colombia and venezuela share a very horris border of more than sixteen hundred kilometers of this second scenario is more unlikely though because of course they would be illegal and the

opposition would prefer to find a way to move the aid into the country that is legal and transparent thank you for that analysis on the ramp in the colombia venezuela border let's speak to theresa bull in caracas for as terry said tell us how venezuelans are sealing about all this situation you've got aids stuck at the border of course they're suffering i mean they've been suffering for a while now what do they make of what's turning out to be really a political. crisis over their livelihoods. well like everything else here it depends who you us who were recently for example us talking to some government supporters and they're saying that's what's happening when it's it's a basic war that they're attacking this country using humanitarian aid as a tool will be seeing precedent on television dressed as a doctor saying that venezuela will have the capacity to produce one hundred

percent of the medicines the country needs that they have the capacity to feed their own people that venezuela is not a country of beggars but on the other side when you start going to different areas around the country when you go to hospitals where we where where fourteen babies died in the past few days just because of deaths and treat ysabel treatable diseases you realize how difficult the situation is on the ground and that's when people start telling you that they need humanitarian aid desperately that they need medications that they need food that they need syringes gauls and very very basic items but in spite of this ongoing crisis that you see all around this country we were recently talking to the reprise additive office of the international red cross here who rushed to venezuela because he's very concerned about what's happening here not only he had the knowledge is that there is a humanitarian crisis but he fears that humanitarian aid could be used for politics and that's something that worries humanitarian organizations because it says that

it puts their own people at risk he was telling me for example that fifty people died in syria the beginning of the war because they were accused of being government officials and in fact they were only distributing aid so what they want is the humanitarian aid to remain neutral and that's the enormous challenge that humanitarian organizations here and people in general are facing today and of course the madura government is under increased international pressure to reset what's happening with venezuela's assets abroad. well most definitely we have heard you go saying and asking country. around the world that have recognized him as a venezuela's in three precedent to freeze venezuelan assets in their own country what we're seeing for example today is that venezuela is hoping to remove two executives two u.s. officials from the previous set which is the state owned company that subsidiary in the united states and remove those two u.s.

the executives from that company there let's not forget that the united states. that generates a lot some tension lots of problems for the venezuelan government also has asked other countries like argentina in european countries to also freeze those assets and that's will increase the pressure on the venezuelan government on what we're seeing also we were just seeing a tweet from by senator marco rubio from the united states denouncing and tanker from saudi arabia arriving here to venezuela with the new time to in order to a system of pro says the oil that venezuela has and that's in a way showing us how desperate the government is becoming because in a way it's going to start finding allies it's going to start finding markets where their assets will be frozen thank you for that to resettle reporting there live from venezuela's capital caracas on to other world news now in syria and democratic forces see they will begin their final battle to push eisel out of their last remaining pockets in the country's east they say though launch an attack to capture

the i saw enclave of by gurus in dairies or that's one of the east of us on the eastern bank of the euphrates river more than twenty thousand people have already been evacuated into nearby camps as get the latest from seventy deco's in istanbul for a seventy one does the announcement of this final push mean. well it is significant in the sense that you're talking about territorial presence of the group this is an offensive that was started five months ago particularly targeting the town of hygene where it's believed that the leader of isis a bucket on baghdad he had been in the past high value targets in these areas so what you're seeing now there's only a small pocket pocket of territory left that they are now going to push for we've seen over the last couple of days the stream of civilians coming from inside this area because it's such a small pocket and because it's been surrounded for so long what you're seeing really is mostly members of eisel families coming out so it is also something that

trump hinted just a couple of days ago the u.s. president of course saying that as soon as next week which is the this week that we're in now that he could be announcing the end of ice i think it's dangerous to put too much emphasis on the i still is over even if they've won territory folly because of course the group it's sleeper cells do still remain a real threat on the ground whether it's through car bombs whether suicide bombings in syria and in iraq but certainly when we're talking about its territory there is no doubt its days are numbered and what's happening then to the civilians who have been training that area where are they going. well it's a desperate situation i can tell you it's absolutely freezing and we've seen around aid agencies are putting the numbers around twenty five to thirty five thousand who fled over the last few weeks they're being initially screen because again you have also what the s.d.f. are saying are the most hardcore advice will fight or is remaining in this area

these most of them are family members or they're being screened you also have special forces on the ground there are americans french british who are part of screening the people that are coming out then they're being put on buses and taken to camps in kurdish territory inside syria now the conditions are desperate yes aid agencies are there but people are arriving told are arriving with malnutrition a recent report from the u.n. saying twenty three children have died of malnutrition malnutrition of hypothermia it's very basic there are tents that do not provide any shape form of heat or even shelter from the rain so a huge influx of people in a small amount of time this is not new this has been happening throughout the conflict throughout these offensives but again i think it's worth mentioning these people have nowhere to go so and now with the added security threat let's say of the screening process when it comes to the families it's even more difficult so it's a very difficult situation it's not over yet and of course always just briefly the

question is what happens next huge destruction when it comes to that campaign that's been fought against eisel these places have been flattened infrastructure gone homes gone people need to return they're going to be staying in camps for a very long time forty and i think yes i'm cute challenges remain ahead regardless if we have an official announcement that at some point this week i still is over thank you for that stephanie decker live in istanbul turkey for us. israeli forces say they have arrested a palestinian man in connection with the murder of a teenager hamza hundred m. was arrested during a raid at a mosque in the occupied west bank is being question for the death of nineteen year old israeli. who was killed in jerusalem on thursday run ins attention has led to violence between palestinian protesters and israeli security forces and if you know has been held in gaza for a fourteen year old palestinian boy who was killed by israeli forces i found chalabi was shot on friday during protests at the border between gaza and israel

palestinians have been staging weekly demonstrations at the border since march of last year it appears as if donald trump will not take any action against saddam rabia for the murder of jamal khashoggi but one of his key advisers i suggest said they will be consequences the deadlines passed for the u.s. president to tell congress whether he can impose sanctions on saudi government officials under the legislation called the magnitsky act trump had one hundred twenty days to outline any action he's previously said he doesn't want the issue to jeopardize u.s. relations with saudi arabia why can't it has more from washington. president trump departs for his annual medical exam declining to answer shouted questions on any subject all indications are will be no response to the deadline set by the senate following the murder of jamal khashoggi the senate sent a letter to president trump invoking the global magnitsky act which gave president trump one hundred twenty days to investigate the murder and impose sanctions

against those responsible in a follow up letter to the senate asa president to specifically investigate any role the crown prince muhammad bin solomon or m.p.'s may have played in the n.b.a.'s the crown prince is a wrecking ball. and he's complicit in the murder mystery because shogi think he's crazy to. think he is dangerous and he has put their relationship at risk but president trump has steadfastly insisted the us solve the relationship is more important than establishing accountability for murder it's all about america first we're not going to give up hundreds of billions of dollars in orders and let russia china and everybody else have a it's all about for me very simple it's america first saudi arabia's senior diplomat continues to deny any involvement by the kingdom's leaders in the murder refusing to react to a new york times report that the crown prince is on record as saying he would use

a bullet on jamal khashoggi the report dismissed as based on unknown sources and the following tweet posted on the saudi foreign ministry account we will hold who are responsible for the death the push to account but question is what happens now the president has ignored the ultimatum the answer is simply nothing they are no punitive measures involved in this process which essentially relies on the good faith of all parties something the president's critics contend is absent in the white house but the stairs not mean an end to the matter the question of accountability for jamal khashoggi murder has rid bipartisan support in congress and the motion is agreed to and legislation seeking sanctions against saudi arabia and possibly the crown prince specifically is being widely discussed in both the house and senate mike hanna al-jazeera washington. still ahead on this al-jazeera

controversy her claims of having native american ancestry able to skate from that controversy with the latest headlines in the u.s. media of warren claiming to be native american as home race in one thousand nine hundred eighty six registration card in the problem with that isn't just that warren's ancestry with native americans is very distant but the fact that this opens her to attack from donald trump in fact it was trump himself who go to war and to take a d.n.a. test last year and the concern among would be democratic primary voters is that trump mayhew's this weakness of warren in the same way that he used hillary clinton's e-mail scandal against her in twenty sixteen and polling has suggested that the number one concern of democratic voters is to unseat trump in two thousand and twenty and there are concerns that warren may be unable to do so because of the

scandal weren't also faces a very crowded field of democratic contenders on average this year one new entrant into that race per week that includes three other senators who are popular with the democratic base as well as former vice president joe biden who despite not having entered the race is already leading the pack in polling. in haiti at least two people have been killed in fourteen police officer during protests in the capital port au prince thousands of people are demanding the president step down accusing him of inaction against corruption but as kevin calvert reports driven armories is refusing to go. they marched chanted and demonstrated and the thousands demanding the resignation of haiti's president. the protests turned violent as some four with police used tear gas and fired

several bullets into the air to disperse the crowd. across the capital port au prince protest to set fire to vehicles and a gas station the backdrop to the unrest as a stagnating economy failing currency and soaring inflation issues the president had promised to fight when he was inaugurated in february twenty seventh. we went to elections a part of the population voted i am president i am ready to speak to all my brothers and sisters over the difficulties the country is facing to my brothers and sisters in the opposition the doors open so as to reach a solution but haitians have been demanding change for a while now protests over corruption began last year after reports of money disappearing from of venezuelans aid program then came a controversial fuel price increase proposal in july that sent thousands on to the streets. the government suspended the decision and prime minister jacques guy.

resigned after four people were killed during protests against the price hike the massive population tell you counter in your story like this it's impossible that's one of the main reasons that we decided to stand up with the people people know that people with the hope. the lightest protests follow another report on corruption by the superior court of order says this has further angered the opposition for several years we will not stop we will continue on the eighth and ninth of february to finish with president bowie's if he does not want to step down from bar we are going to name an interim president in the coming days. he has had a difficult few years battling a cholera epidemic the aftermath of the twenty thousand earthquake and political turmoil but corruption is a big problem and many haitians want it to change given calvert al-jazeera.

is an economist and professor at the university in port au prince he says changing late is will not improve the economic situation in haiti. the government actually facing a very very bad economic situation and a lot of call for the president. received nation it's very difficult i know people has to stay home and the government can't even ensure security for the people i think it's going to be easy for even another government because the situation is very difficult right now to talk about a country with a lack of resources because we don't know how to carry be any more disciplined from the villages in and about government the head from the international community is even like a smaller than ever and it become more difficult for the government now to keep up

with the budget and so into to give response to the people so i think it we need like maybe smaller government with a very intelligent and very hard choices to be made and to ensure like the confidence and so why now we don't have confidence the government have been giving bonuses or broken promises for for two years now and depopulation and tired of work and promises and what action. egypt's president. is set to take over the reins of the african union at the organization's annual summit which begins in ethiopia on sunday amnesty international is this could undermine the african union's commitment to human rights in a press release a rise groups say spreads concern over the potential impacts he says chairmanship could have on the independence of regional human rights mechanisms and of

a future in gauge went with civil society it goes on to list some of the violations carried out by the egyptian authorities including in forces appearances in mass killings during a wave of demonstrations in twenty thirteen that same year the african union itself temporarily suspended egypt's membership when he led the military coup against the democratically elected president mohamed morsi let's speak to. this is a social and political commentator base in johannesburg south africa joins us via skype on the news i thank you so much for being with us so abdel fattah el-sisi is not going to be at the helm of the same organization that kicked him out in twenty thirty and gave him the cold shoulder what does this say about the african union as an organization in a african leaders at all disturbed by egypt taking this job. i don't think they're disturbed but i think the move does take this back to.

and there which we are trying to get past and i think having a leader who has no respect for human rights. having a leader who has been involved in the type of murderous shenanigans the president is been guilty of in the past i think really. drives a big blow to african democracy and to progressive politics or on the continent the current state in egypt certainly is no different to to that of the mubarak era our freedoms are limited democracy has been shelved so how does the african union and in your view as an organization ensure that egypt as its political head upholds democratic values people's rights do you think they will stand up to him. i don't think so it's hard to say they will because. i think i think in many ways

having a leader such as c.c. leading the african union. or allow a lot of eat is to get away with many things. and it's been like this in the past i mean we we had very controversial leaders. meeting the african union and it seems to be i think a little conservative way of of of not allowing the new full of liberal politics to come to the fore in africa and i think this just shows exactly how. timid that leaders are and. afraid they are of of allowing democracy to flourish right there on the continent so what direction then do you expect him to take the african union we know that egypt along with the you know heavyweights like south africa in one have we know not to want a powerful african union what are you expecting cairo's tenure to focus on are we

going to see a shift to me a priorities in twenty one thousand. i don't think that ok they might not be a shift but i don't think we'll see anything progressive happening. i don't think they'll make the right calls when it comes to break the elections when it comes to could take some contentious politics or on the continent. i think a pledge of lip service to what should be done but i think ultimately the choice of having sisi as the leader of the you is a clear indication that although things have changed. although things are supposedly changing the fact is we are. being very rich aggressive we're actually going back to be the eighty's ninety's type of situation where. the leaders are very reluctant to allow. more human rights to be available to

to the people and i think importantly i mean the fact that sisi virtually rigged an election won it by ninety seven ninety eight percent. tells you a lot about how the a you will most likely respond to any electoral issues or any political issues around elections or on the continent and i think this is going to be a very bad year for africa in terms of moving forward thank you very much for sharing your visa with us tuffy mockup political commentator joining us there from johnny spann thank you for your time thank you well this has african union summit will largely focus on refugees and internally displaced people markham why pray for somebody from about. i share a sunni was thirteen years old when she says government forces attacked have diligence you don. seven years on things have picked up she plays volleyball every

conflict. at the center for refugees these men from sing songs from home. people here. many more who are displaced across the continent. will take more than a new theme the african union to change that. ethiopia. rejection why the. prime minister has been dropped by her party.

latest from. correspondent in tripoli so mahmoud what message exactly are forces sending with these strikes. well fully it seems that have to those forces want to convey a message of threat to whoever goes against have to especially this civilian plane today that was flying from tripoli to feel oilfield in the south and eight hundred kilometers to the south from tripoli was carrying a general a military general who was recently appointed by the national called the government as a military commander of the southern military soon that is against general engage in the city for have to and also and also it was also carrying another oil officials oil official from the state oil firm that is the national oil corporation but it was supposed on the way back that plane was supposed to carry. around twenty

iranians have seen in that time when ayatollah ruhollah khomeini returned from exile in one nine hundred seventy nine he had been living in france and since then the french government has had a complex relationship with iran natasha butler has a look back. it was a turning point in the iranian revolution ayatollah khomeini arriving in tehran in february one nine hundred seventy nine after fourteen years in exile in iraq and france with khamenei on the flight from paris was apple has son bernie souter who later became the islamic republic's first president today benny saturday lives in exile in france he fled iran in one thousand eighty one but his memories of that flight forty years ago of vivid. some fit the plane would be shot down naturally we were scared but the excitement was stronger after thirty years of exile to see iran in the people it was more than we could imagine the enthusiasm the joy and. the

bunny side helped commenee during his exile in france in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight he says france was chosen because iranians didn't need visas at the time and there was freedom of expression the french government was an ally of evolved sharp it didn't prevent harmony's arrival saying he was free to visit for nearly five months the ayatollah lived in the countryside near paris it was in this quiet village on this street that ayatollah khomeini planned the iranian revolution and each day dozens of his followers from across europe would come here to watch him pray and listen to him preach to. the french government had hoped that harmony would bring iran democracy but if you changed after nine hundred seventy nine can for once france realized this wasn't just a transitory state and harmony's role wasn't only symbolic the french began to rethink then events such as the u.s. embassy hostage crisis meant france really changed its mind in the one nine hundred eighty s. france backed baghdad in the iran iraq war and relations with tehran broke down

bissonnette stormed the building armed with a rifle pistol and more than one hundred rounds he shot into the crowded prayer room killing six worshipers and critically injuring five others the judge said bissonnette was motivated by race and a visceral hatred toward muslim immigrants the twenty nine year old was sentenced to life in prison but will be eligible for parole in forty years while reading out the sentence the judge said punishment should not be vengeance noting that bissonnette has mental health issues survivors and family members say the jail term isn't harsh enough in an attack that shocked canada and the muslim community in the valley was left paralyzed following the shooting a lot of us we were astonished that we were very upset after this sentence we don't know how he. gave this sentence. forty years. it would be conditional recent
