a war tactic that no longer sparks outrage. is there nothing to be said or done when indiscriminate barrel bombs are dropped in civilian areas ambassadors from the us and europe talked of war crimes and the need for accountability attacks directed against protected medical facilities are prohibited by international law and are in defiance of many security council resolutions including 216-522-6824 extension 49. there must be accountability for the forces and leaders who planned and conducted any such strikes russia was represented at the meeting by one of its deputy foreign ministers he said his country's military will working with the assad government to fight what he said were terrorists. the russian aerospace forces are providing the necessary support to the syrian government forces to force the

terrorists out of the regions that are used to bombard russian bases and the positions of the syrian air. he's right there are groups operating in international humanitarian law is clear it says military forces must show proportionality and as well as the armed groups there are 3000000 civilians living in the province. at the united nations now last september russia and circle reached an agreement to reduce hostilities in italy but since then an armed group formally allied with al qaida sees big parts of the area triggering the regime's latest offensive explains. the intensity of strikes like these is increasing and so is the number of civilians killed across southern adlib and northern russian and syrian jets are carrying out more than 100 raids a day. and most are hitting crowded residential areas marketplaces are

reduced to rubble hospitals clinics and schools have been destroyed in the offensive in northwest syria that is entering its 2nd month. or so below but. many civilians have been killed the planes have returned to hit moderate and moment the people are panicking afraid opposition activists are accusing the government and its allies of using internationally banned weapons like cluster bombs and white phosphorous they say it is part of a strategy to depopulate a belt of territory. i understand there are edges of it lip province to secure to international roads more than 200000 syrians have moved north towards turkey's borders seeking safety in open fields but tens of thousands are believed to be caught in the area of hostilities the russian backed syrian government offensive has barely changed the lines of control government forces are trying to recapture

territory to connect cities under their control and revive trade but they haven't been able to take much ground russia too is trying to push the rebels nourse so that its military base in luckier will no longer be within the opposition's firing range. opposition forces have united and are fighting back and some of the armed groups say they are getting military support from turkey which wants to strengthen its negotiating halved many believe the offensive is about pressuring turkey which is trying to balance relations between moscow and washington there are reports that turkey is holding behind the scenes negotiations to try and revive last year's cease fire deal and create a demilitarized zone that fighters from the share or the s. and the syrian army will respect that's. all i ask. us.

but. actually that's. the same. i don't. know how artillery. back this this garage or not although a cease fire would save lives there's no sign of it but for now through their proxies russia and turkey are reminding each other how costly it is when they're not working together senator as his heater big. chinese tech giant huawei has stepped up its legal fight against u.s. sanctions the companies filed a motion in court bans on his business deemed unconstitutional the u.s. federal agencies and contractors are prohibited from using oil where equipment so national security reasons for more on this live now to shenzhen and beijing correspondent adrian brown adrian what does all this mean. well

peter one of the weapons that while away is using is the international media because it's rare really for chinese companies to talk to the foreign media in the way the war way has been doing poor you know for the past couple of months and on wednesday we were invited back again to our ways headquarters here in shane's in a century to hear an update on the legal moves that are now underway to try to scrap that legislation that was passed several months ago which essentially prevents federal employees in the united states from using huawei smartphones and while away equipment but the company has also been speaking out once more about being put on that trade blacklist in the united states which effectively locks war way out of the u.s. market and basically prevents it buying key components that it needs for its smartphones and other equipment it said that the united states has now set a very dangerous precedent and one executive said that you know this was. you know

while away today but perhaps your company your business tomorrow why wants to keep you know its name in the headlines you know it's talking about taking other remedies against the united states it wouldn't specify what those remedies would be but possibly this could be more legal action you know we have to remember this is you know china's biggest telecom company notionally it is private but the government is right behind why this is a company the president xi jinping is very proud of he visited weiwei about 4 years ago he knows the founder of the company so in many ways if if weiwei loses then china loses so it may well be that at the end of the day this is simply a company that is too big to fail and why does it matter because in the current trade friction between china and the united states weiwei is very much at the

center of that collapse in confidence between the world's 2 largest economies and i guess in a dream as world the critics of far away would say if we flip this around the risks are too great because technology is in with the foundations in with the brickwork of so many for example expanding emerging 5 g. networks particularly in the states also in the middle east and around europe as well. yes you're absolutely right and of course you know there are countries around the world peter particularly in africa particularly in southeast asia who are big customers of weiwei that are soon going to have to make a decision on what technology they use are they with the united states or are they with china now at the moment you know while way sells in about 150 or so countries around the world africa is a very very important market but there will be consumers in those areas who worry

about what their why what will happen to their technology their while away hardware 3 months from now because that's when really the the ban that came into effect 2 months ago will start to take effect you know while away anticipated being put on this trade black list it's been stockpiling parts but very soon those parts are going to run out and the question is and it's a question actually that the company couldn't answer today is what happens if that ban becomes permanent and isn't lifted by the trumpet ministration and iffy drian we have the sense where you are perhaps that we are heading towards a stage where people get territorial over rare earths those minerals that are used in everything from avionics to your smartphone to your i pads to digital technology that will kind of blend together almost i suppose in a perfect storm a trade war between washington and beijing industrial negative relations between

the states and china but that could potentially have an impact globally as well. you know you're right this is such a multifaceted story at the moment but everything as we've said before is connected right now you know we had a story of that appeared on the front page of the global times newspaper here it's a popular nationalist newspaper but it essentially is putting the words rare earths and trade war in the same sentence and quoting a government official from the planning commission and what he's not ruling out is that rare earths might be used as leverage by china in its trade friction with the united states now why does this matter will china controls about 70 percent of the world's supply of rare earths right now and the united states is a major customer and rare earths are used in everything from fiber optics magnets to missiles now so far the united states has not been putting terrorists on rare

earth for understandable reasons but what we're getting now is a very strong hint and it's a no bleak hint i have to say suggesting for the 1st time that perhaps china might start restricting those exports of rare earths to the united states now if that were to happen this would go from being a sort of sparring match between china and the united states to basically a game of you know russian roulette adrian thank you very much. to europe it is one of the balkans most volatile ethnic flashpoints and tensions in kosovo have increased after a concert and police operation in a mainly area dozens of people including ethnic serbs were arrested in the ninety's smuggling operation serbia says the move was quote designed to intimidate and has put its troops on high alert for a challenge reports. b in the air and on the ground kosovan police in maturity are on edge their raid into parts of the city has prompted serbia's army

to be put on full combat readiness. this morning at 629 as a commander in chief of the armed forces i ordered full military readiness of our armed units in case of any serious disturbance of war or danger to life of serbs in northern kosovo our armed forces will protect our people. serbia's ally russia has called it a provocation the un says a russian u.n. worker has been released by cost of and police after angry protests from moscow at his detention the u.n. is demanding the release of another employee also alleged to have been detained and injured. the river and makeshift barricades divide the 2 ethnic holidays that the city majority albanian kosovo declared independence from serbia in 2008 a decade after nato stepped in to support kosovan forces in their separatist war

with belgrade but north mature still has a population that is mainly and many of them like serbia itself still do not accept kosovo as an independent country nato is peacekeeping force in kosovo k. for is urging calm and says it's ready to intervene if necessary because of its government hasn't confirmed how many people have been arrested albanians. acts are among them the president says the operation has about laurent foresman to nothing else but i mean there were no do it to you enough that i am sorry but belgrade should not under any circumstances be an address that protects those involved in crimes regardless of their ethnicity. with its bloody history and complex ethnic and religious divisions the balkans have long been a focus for international tensions anger is rising there once again chalons now to syria. still to come here on al-jazeera saudi arabia is once again accused of targeting a critic based overseas using israeli technology. on the right of their lives the

motorbikes providing a vital service to kenya's world communities. we've still got quite a few showers i have a pulse of the middle east at the moment the satellite picture it's picking them out just want to mostly around possibly ran the days until it's turning out to be rather heavy in places and kicking up a fair amount of dust we're expecting more as we head through the next few days a wednesday on thursday should bring us more shower as. it's hot though whether or not you see a shower kabul there all the way up at 29 a matching the temperature we're expecting in tehran on thursday and then force in baghdad even hotter the top temperature here of $43.00 degrees here in doha our temperature is the topping at around $41.00 or $42.00 at the moment and that means

is pretty dry there's more cloud down towards parts of yemen and this could give us one or 2 showers is certainly dragging down the temperatures a bit so santa no good you know high than around 28 degrees as we head down towards the southern parts of africa we have had a fair amount of rain in the southeast but all of that is now trying to clear a couple of showers could be with us around the durban area for the west it should be joy i think force in cape town it should be fairly pleasant day all temperatures topping at around to 21 degrees will get cooler as we head into thursday a little bit more cloud there will make the temperatures only overing at around 18 i think for us in madagascar there's likely to be quite a few showers at times. stories generate thousands of headlines with different angles from different perspectives as scientists stand up. finally separate the spin from the facts

the misinformation from the journalism protesters complain about the under reporting of police violence the sensationalizing the demonstrations we've been listening post on al-jazeera. these are your top stories so far today here on al-jazeera at the u.n. security council is warning of a humanitarian catastrophe in syria's rebel held province of idlib as government forces continue their bombardment hundreds of thousands of civilians are fleeing and how more provinces to escape the airstrikes. chinese tech giant walkway has

filed a motion and a u.s. court bans on its business deemed unconstitutional the u.s. federal agencies and contractors are prohibited from using. for national security reasons serbia has put its soldiers on high alert after police made several arrests and it's dominated northern territory officers say they were targeting organized criminal gangs. the italian government's crackdown on immigration hasn't just hurt people seeking refuge in europe it's also had an impact on thousands of italians working for organizations that help migrants and refugees osama bin reports now from rome. it's hard to. imagine the human connection to a dilapidated building but for raphael and her mom this migrant perception center was their only source of income and now both of them are without jobs. this center was among dozens it was down after it leaves government decided to change its refugee laws. we are 120 people who were laid off like me and my

daughter there are others who have no salary it's sad it's difficult and so veiny has no idea what he's doing to our. charities are warning that more than 4000 workers are already jobless and if the government continue to shut down migrant sent is the number could rise 215005 the end of the year in addition to costing millions of euros essential integration services such as psychological assistance and language courses will also be lost. many people have been relocated to other centers some have decided to stay because their paperwork was already being processed no one agreed to speak on camera because they're afraid of what the government might do to their cases if they talk to us. and they have nowhere but the street to call home. at the crack of dawn they pack up their belongings and leave. it's not the live the imagined when the took risks to come to europe. in

addition to closing down migrant centers the italian government plans to penalize n.g.o.s for every migrant to rescue italian m.p.'s have been defending this decision saying that out of the hundreds of thousands of people who came to their shores only a small percentage were actually refugees the rest what economic cycle. opposition politicians accuse the government of xenophobia and racism. there is a contradiction because the numbers are unreliable the interior minister 1st broke a 500 or 600000 but now he says illegal immigrants to italy are 90000 with no explanation. 44 you. deborah has also been laid off from a migrant reception center she was pregnant when the government decided to close down the center in the suburbs of rome since then she has lost the baby and her job . i've looked for a job after the miscarriage but he wants me at my age with a child who gets sick once

a month my biggest fear is not being able to feed my son i only hope i have is of leaving italy i see no future at the moment because of. the rightwing government says it wants to put its halliards 1st its promise jobs and getting rid of migrants but the tough conditions are impacting the locals as well deborah was born to italian parents and now she wants to move out of her own country in search of a better life. and on thursday we'll have the story of 2 boys born in italy hailed as heroes because still waiting for citizenship that's here on al-jazeera. saudi arabia is being accused of using israeli spy ware to target a prominent critic in britain. sorry as a satirist on you tube or has racked up more than 200000000 views on his channel where he regularly criticizes the saudi royal family so the arabia's embassy in london was notified of a legal claim on tuesday accusing the kingdom of hacking the comedian's phone and

using it to spy on him it's the latest allegation linked to the israeli group the israeli surveillance companies products of allegedly being used to target activists and journalists around the world. is the executive director of the research organization the arab center washington he says the latest revelations do follow a pattern that's been seen before. this is not an isolated case i think in recent weeks we have heard some new similar attempts at hacking telephones and spying on each other this isn't. across the united states canada in europe particularly most recently in norway and it seems to be a pattern and unfortunately the publicist received by the. show who was the victim of such hacking and spying before he was killed and mutilated.

doesn't seem to have taught the people in charge of security and the right lesson i'm not sure it will make a big difference in terms of the larger picture but definitely in terms of specific cases i think people have to defend themselves i do not blame him at those are you for doing that in an attempt to kind of protect himself better against such steps and to prevent maybe more ominous and more threatening steps from being directed at him the same thing with colleagues like omar abdel aziz in canada. the most recently in norway and there seems to be a common pattern with regards to the origin of that software and the methods being used. by the saudi government as well as other governments in the region and beyond . interest in argentina brazil in the battle to legalize abortion politicians are

presenting a bill to allow terminations up to the 14th week of pregnancy after failing last year following pressure from various religious groups to raise a boat has that story from point a cyrus. was he going to pollution is an epidemic hospitality that's what these women are demanding of. thousands of them marched to congress to present a new abortion bill last year the no one house of parliament voted for the 1st time in history to decriminalize and legalize abortion in this largely catholic country . however the no was rejected in the senate in a very tight vault but people like seal a funeral say they will continue trying. to set the chambers the same and it's going to be difficult the same dinosaurs as last year but they need to understand abortions are already happening in the country and women die many of them are poor they have nowhere to go and end up in warble places where their lives are at risk.

these green handkerchief has become the symbol of their demand to legalize abortion in argentina for women here it's a matter of public health because already hundreds of thousands of illegal abortions are already happening in the country thousands of women end up being hospitalized because of complications during the procedure. there we saw the risk of prison if a woman is found guilty of having had an abortion argentina only allows abortion in case of rape or a risk to woman's health oh no. they're powerful catholic church continues to be a major obstacle to legalize abortion in this country but friend says who is argentinean has repeatedly said that abortion cannot be condoned. says the pope is correct it shows when i was in that aggression they come with their green handkerchiefs and think they are right they're not justifying killing an innocent

life and the law won't pass because it's the same chamber as last year. the presidential elections will take place in october this year and most lawmakers acknowledge that debating abortion won't be easy it's a highly contentious issue that has polarized argentinean society. president macky said he would sign. the bill if passed as one of us here in the health secretary at old photos says argentina needs to address the controversial matter. needs to be an issue of public health of women dying of the hospitalizations that end up in mutilations that occur when complications arise aside from believes values and attitudes there is a problem that happens abortion already exists we cannot stop it poor women who do not have access to the pharmaceuticals or procedures to interrupt a pregnancy go to unsafe places and end up in a hospital or dead. even though it's

a nightly low will pass this year women say they will continue to pressure lawmakers they say legalizing abortion is crucial to save women's lives. in kenya patients needing emergency care are often transferred to hospital by taxi or even bicycle rather than with an ambulance the situation is worse in real areas where medical services are in short supply in the latest in a series on 1st responders kathryn sawyer reports from morongo where motorcycles are now being used to help save lives. in the town of moore this has all the service is run by a local nonprofit organization that operates in remote villages across the country today the team starts off i join me now i re most home she's 6 months pregnant with her 2nd child and she's getting an ultrasound scan for the 1st time. i'm happy to

see my baby it's alive healthy and so playful next door several mothers have brought their children to get tested for pneumonia it's easy to treat but about 10000 kenyan children die every year mainly because they're taken to hospital late. the rainy season is approaching and health workers here are taking no chances are they are. the classes hospitals are private and too expensive for many here when they find sick children would take them to the man government hospital in good times so it can help save lives. kenya has more than 600 ambulances that's a big improvement from a decade ago when there were only 70. steel they fall short of the 1000 that the world health organization recommends for a country like this with a population of about 50000000. mainly in auburn areas like the capital nairobi

have a poorly coordinated emergency response and most dot com chip what we why intending to do was to ensure that there is a created a fund for all my guessing medical care as we speak nor could the nation somebody has to save more than 50 maybe less contacts of ambulances to be sure that he has enough which could be minimized by just having a single number of emergency. in moron there are only 3 government ambulances and a few private ones for close to a 1000000 people. and for many like thomas guba who needs argent medical help this service is a lifeline. and you know not. so thomas tells us that he's not feeling too well and now he's being taken to a government hospital that he's not too far away from here but he says that he is

not strong enough to go to hospital by himself. he gets to the health center in good time and is now recovering well he's lucky many other patients in more remote villages don't have a service like this to help them catherine so i al-jazeera central kenya. welcome of just joining us you're watching al-jazeera live from doha my name's peter dhabi your headlines the u.n. security council is warning of a humanitarian catastrophe in syria's rebel held province of idlib as government forces continue their bombardment hundreds of thousands of civilians have fled into hammer provinces to escape the airstrikes. can't this council take any concrete action when attacks on schools and hospitals have become a war tactic that no longer sparks outrage millions of battered and
