9:11 am
refugees tried to stage a demonstration but that was also quickly broken up by security officers some of the community leaders at cox's bazar expressed their concern at what condition will be like if the refugees return to a kind state we demand before our water going back i want to be done in done her visit inside don't know much affected area about this soon that what i want to protect and this is the 3rd high level visit by the me and maher government the repatriation of the 1st batch of refugees was to begin officially last november but it stalled amid protests at the camps and bangladesh many are still traumatized from their experience 2 years ago when they were forced to flee their homes during the me and my own military crackdown. so the 5 year olds and 18 year old grand daughter in law were killed by the security forces. we will seek compensation and
9:12 am

9:13 am
salvador and honduras who passed through guatemala would be required to stop and seek asylum there 1st or they would be eligible for asylum in the u.s. and other apollo has more from their. the meeting taking place between honduran president of one orlando and then there's a mexican president and this monumental piece of it alone is taking place in mean that the plan the state of veracruz where we are of course the subject of the discussions today in the announcement is immigration given that a majority of migrants making their way to the united states from central america originate in honduras the development plan that's being announced today involves a commitment of $100000000.00 by the mexican government toward 3 central american nations we're talking about will solve it or guatemala and honduras again the country where majority of these migrants are originating from this plan is not being sold as a handout and said it's being sold as a as a hand up with the promise of jobs with agricultural subsidies this is something that's that's quite important given that that the lack of opportunity and
9:14 am
a lack of jobs is something that is continuously being cited by migrants as they make their way north toward the united states there's also the expectation that the mexican president will continue his calls on the united states to participate more to invest more in this is in development plans as a more sustainable protest a more sustainable strategy toward tackling the ongoing migrant crisis. the u.s. president has come under fire for twitter attack on a democratic congressman representative elijah cummings has criticized mexican border policies and in response trump called him a brutal bully saying as baltimore district is far worse and more dangerous than the border he also called cummings district a disgusting rats and rodent infested mess the congressman responded saying mr president i go home to my district daily each morning i wake up and i go and fight for my neighbors article has more on this from washington d.c.
9:15 am
. another norm broken this is a us president denigrating a major american city that has happens to be mostly african-american and it's african-american congressman but the larger cummings is not an ordinary congressman he is an icon of the civil rights movement he has huge respect not only in his district but in the halls of congress the president has made it clear this is his strategy to get reelected he believes if you fires up his base core supporters of white supporters that they will come out in droves and they will get him another term there are a lot of analysts who are sending a warning message though about that strategy they look back to 216 and one of the reasons that trump won in this incredibly close election was because the vote was down in african-american communities and hispanic communities polls show that his racist tweets and comments are hurting his support among african-americans and hispanics so what some analysts are warning while the president is firing up his
9:16 am
own base his core support hasn't moved he's also fired up the base on the other side. ivory coast is known as the world's leading cocoa producer but less well known as its other exports cola nuts reached record highs last year and growers say they're determined to become the world's number one producer that it just has this report from. polluting cola to use to get more not. over the last 3 years farmers here have been improving the way they work and the yield from this 7 hectic collar not farm has doubled. 4 years ago zombie cecil band was a cocoa farmer. and like many others he says turning to colonise has been easy. having been a cook from before i had a little experience that is helping for me or for
9:17 am
a new adventure it's not paying much at the moment but i think it's worth a try. west african traders especially from geria come here to ivory coast to buy some of the goods find their way to the middle east in 2018 ivory coast produce more color for me did 3 years before that of nigeria the world's number one producer but farmers here say they can be gleeful over leader if they were given the same support and find i felt as a country school performance. there is little in the way of government support for the farmers but help is coming from elsewhere with researchers helping to improve farming techniques. it's essential for the farmer to be paid a good price per tonne access to new markets is also important and that will ensure that they keep doing what they do. in africa collinet are mostly used in
9:18 am
traditional ceremonies but also used to make drinks and pharmaceutical products so many here see their potential is huge trade isn't farmers say if their government could help them get a fixed price for their goods they would prosper and others would be encouraged to take up farming and that way they say their country would not only be the leading global producer of cocoa but of color that tool. al jazeera. i request. the main story hundreds of people in sudan's capital are back on the streets protesting against the findings of an investigation into the deadly crackdown in khartoum last month it blamed rogue soldiers for the violent break up of the sit in demonstration and. i don't believe what happened today undermines the political
9:19 am
process unless the military council looks for excuses to freeze negotiations or procrastinate the process what happened today is a natural response let the military council see this is a strong message that the people cannot remain silent as the investigation commission was formed not to establish the truth but to conceal the truth. more than a 1000 demonstrators have been arrested and many violently at an un authorized march in moscow they were protesting the barring of opposition candidates from local elections hong kong police have again far drawbar bullets and tear gas at protesters after thousands of people defied the government ban and rallied in a small town near the chinese border a group of men attacked protesters that a train station there last week they are opinion has called on bahrain to impose a moratorium on executions after 2 men convicted on terrorism charges were shot by foreign squad she activists. were sentenced over the killing
9:20 am
of a policeman the executions went ahead despite international concern that their confessions were extracted under torture. the leaders of mexico and and the us are meeting the flow of migrants to the u.s. it comes a day after the u.s. and guatemala signed a migration agreement under the deal migrants from el salvador and honduras who passed through got to mama would be required to stop and seek asylum their 1st island pseudo by grants who don't will be ineligible for asylum in the u.s. and 2 people died and 17 others were injured after a balcony collapsed the night club in south korea it happened in the southwestern city of. many of the injured were foreign athletes they were competing in the world swimming championships. those are the headlines with more news after inside story that's next.
9:21 am
thank. you. thank you this is it lives in syria where government attacks have killed more than a 100 people in just the last 10 days the u.n. says this is a war crime and the world is looking away to how we become indifferent to the slaughter of syria's people this is inside story. thanks.
9:22 am
hello and welcome to the program on dennis now the syrian government's offensive on the last rebel stronghold has been described as relentless and the united nations says the world is ignoring this bloodshed it play a province in northwestern syria is home to 3000000 people nearly half of them were of addition fighters and their families who were relocated from other parts of the country as president bashar al assad's forces gained ground government fighters backed by russia began a campaign to take back in april at least 450 civilians have been killed since then but despite this mounting death toll the u.n. says the world has become quote numb to the carnage. this is not like it was you know in the 1st few years in the syria crisis people really were paying attention and was constantly in the news there was a lot of in national political engagement and so on and we're just not seeing that now it's just like a sort of collective frog about what's going on in syria and it's such
9:23 am
a vast scale now hundreds of thousands of people killed many hundreds of thousands more you know badly injured or even maimed for life and really the outside world paid very very little attention and certainly not sustained attention and certainly any attention and start making any difference or bringing over the present position any closer. or i'd time to introduce our guest now here in doha with me is marwan kabul and he's head of policy analysis at the arab center for research and policy studies in providence joining us on skype we have civil society activists nor hala and in istanbul we have young reedy who served as a spokesman for the syrian negotiations commission welcome to you all but let me go straight to you nor in it live and tell us give us an idea of what life has been like for you and your family since this campaign started at the end of april. well
9:24 am
life in it live is can be described as hell the humanitarian situation in this catastrophe since the very beginning of the campaign. starts in the operating member in may i decided to move my family to the north possibly for aware that there is good governance i have a mandate there so i walk in is live and my family and that as a people i go on for as they pertain to my walk. for me now. in their view the video beginning of the camp in the un all child documented at least 200 and the end 1000 people runs away from the saga to their guys to the north to the border with the 6 pm borders as i.d.p.'s at the same time the pond is the briefing. right no give us an idea because you've talked about it being we've heard about it and we've heard it being described as come on age and there is i mean we've witnessed just in
9:25 am
terms of pitches amazing pictures that we've seen the slaughter of many syrian people give us an idea of what is an old new day can be like innately helicopters and there was never stuff on it and almost even to not know whether this. was coming to him a lot of the city. we always hear on the walk talk is all the time. that aircraft from. air force for example on their across from the soccer it's all military airport so the people are and. then left. feeling or there are all the signs we don't know when they will hit us on the ground. since the beginning of the campaign till now the region killed small more children than needed in 2008. in every ever write we lose at least 10 to
9:26 am
50 and. people like half of them are children in modoc non-man in one area why there was 55 people here today in our you have to see 11 people were killed 7 of them are women children killing is every day people do not know what to do most of people are afraid that running to the borders rather is no food no shelter not even the way to kill areas. life gets worse because most of the international organizations fund or the musical. operations in syria hospitals are being killed and the civil defense also centers are being killed so that's that's why i think it's hell yes absolutely all right yeah yeah everybody in istanbul used being tall. out of this rather lengthy process of negotiation which ultimately seem to have come to nothing the opposition seem to have failed how does it make you feel
9:27 am
when you hear and see those pictures coming from italy province. well 1st of all i have to think about the narrative presented by the energy and russia about why they are doing this a little about the right of the central government to control its territory and to control its territory that's why when one hears such a narrative immediately they would think that this is the right thing and such they would not sympathize with what is happening at the. level of people civilians and people and children being killed another thing they say that they are fighting terrorism and they say that. those terrorists are concentrated in lip and i'd like really to show you some pictures about those terrorists that mr
9:28 am
putin and mr assad are targeting these are the pictures of the children that they are the target terrorists that they are targeting and this is another one if you can see this those are all children actually and this is another one yes yeah i mean it's pretty well documented sorry to say sorry to cut you still be seeing pretty well documented that we are dealing specifically with the number of civilian casualties in italy province which has been detained by the united nations as well as other n.g.'s as war crimes being committed almost on a daily basis that tell me what is the relationship and this is something that has i can come to know about in a minute but 1st of all yakoub what is the relationship between the fight is because there are fighters in atlanta what is the relationship between fighters and the civilian population well some of those fighters are indigenous but part of the indigenous population there at a certain time felt that they had nobody there and they had to offer it themselves
9:29 am
with certain other groups you know the 2 they found themselves this is one and i. the thing. there are some photos of photos and we ourselves said that those photos should go back to their countries and according to sochi that there was an agreement that should. be removed from that place this is what was agreed upon but it cannot be something that happens and fortnight it needs time and they can easily be used as a pretext as the russians and that is are doing and as such as you can see that they are just that the results out of this are victims was who are who are civilians and mainly children and the target of all the russian rates are basically civilian places like hospitals like markets like medical. centers in order to do to make life impossible for those people around and you talk about
9:30 am
the flooding of hundreds of thousands of people now this is that basically the relationship and they use it the russians and the regime use it as a pretext to carry out the vicious and criminal acts right hey writing document as you are saying but in the same time the world should pay attention to what is happening there must be something happening internationally right every day syrians perfect then for me to take that point and put it tomorrow in kabul and he's with me here in doha part of the un's castigation if you like of the international community is the fact that nothing is being down the world is witnessing some of the most horrendous seen some of which we've seen in this program already and nothing is being done what's happening when mounting i think you and find it so very much part of this in this in this conflict but there are 2 points here that we can talk about on the 100 you have there isn't an international plans what actively
9:31 am
involved in the syrian conflict and the other. fighting a war by proxy against each other but using syrian blood so they are willing to fight actually until the last drop of syrian blood and this is there this applies actually to russia and the united states to iran and other actors on the other hand you have the wider international community which as i said before find this very much artless towards this conflict since these regional and international powers are are involved they have the veto power in the security council and they have military power on the ground and as you said they are using civilians as a leverage in order to. achieve political ends in this in this conflict but what about the united states we know that there are certain interests particularly with regard to the s.d.f. forces in this part of syria much more to the east of the country but the united states has a traditional hasn't historic role as being the holder if you like of rules and
9:32 am
regulations globally but that clearly is a position that is now being vacated. by trump but also not just trump of course because of course the former administrations well absolutely are right i think the united states has become specially after the invasion of iraq very much. that the lack of interest of the not this is in the region has gone after the dark and the failure of the invasion of if you are the americans you don't want treaties to get really want unless there are vital interests are. affected and whether in syria on another place and in the region and especially under this administration that from administration we don't see any concern about human rights we don't see any concern about human lives and i believe that the president from his has been very open many times actually and saying that the united states will not be interfering anywhere in the want and less on vital interests are affected so we can there stand the u.s. position actually from this perspective and no coming back to you what would you
9:33 am
like what would you expect outside as particularly the members of the security council the permanent 5 members to be doing to stop this hell in which you and the other people of italy are having to india i'm sorry there is nothing in 2000 or in . being. a 9 and one comment about the u.s. . if there is one or 2. wells of oil and if you see. from there we would have liked like the eastern part of. syria so the security council is very if it comes up obviously in the hands of the 5. countries. and not issue. by. allusion they. respect the every team or the
9:34 am
russian. we are not speaking about now the opposition and the receiver were speaking about russia and usa with. you or weeks ago that some of the military factions a serious thing that he said we cannot give you and see across with him because that's really a direct war with russia turkey is afraid to fear the same with the us may. be a superpower are controlling syria now at that. i called the doc you know at night did you ok. is there any level of dialogue currently going on involving you or even other elements of the syrian people i get back to to to this but particular point but let me just put it to to what to what needs to be done or what can be done actually the russians have taken
9:35 am
the security council hostage all this time during the syrian tragedy they used the v 2 over 12 times in order to protect this brutal regime. there is an article in the un charter article number 27 and it talks about a certain member of the security council of the 5 who is a partner to a certain conflict who is. influential party to a certain conflict that should be denied the voting when this particular conflict is the discussed and this particular thing hasn't been discussed talked about till now those 4 other members should present their case and here comes the dialogue we are sending really letters to the security council counsel to the you on your secretary mr materialists and to other influential countries in the world about
9:36 am
this particular think so this tragedy should stop right this is one thing that can be done and another yeah i just wanted to bring you back to the issue of of dialogue i mean we understand that there is possibly a move towards trying to create some sort of safe say in northern syria but that's being worked out between the united states and turkey where are the syrian components of dialogue with with regard to the future at a particular. well just to to to be frank and honest the. syrian element within all what is happening in syria. be it the position be it other guys ations it is quite minor syria is being subjected to different kinds of it could patient at least 5 of them now and they are the ones that have the say in what goes on in particular russia the united
9:37 am
states turkey iran israel and others now if they have any influence over that it would be with the with the the outcome of such a conflict with regard to those who are being displaced from their country who are homeless now and to to the victims to the martyrs to those who are still in jail and this is a very important weapon in addition to that the documentation that we have all over the world about the brutality of the gene as such the. s.n.c. syrian negotiations commission is trying to send a message and to to be a quite effective in whatever goes on with regard to the political process and with regard to the northeast inside concerning safe zone being created we are in continuous this caution with the turks about this particular thing and we were taken to go station the city. of syria and democratic forces that.
9:38 am
there are discussions between them and those who are partners to down the americans and we know that we hope and we work for that syria one day would be free from all those occasions and freed them from that brutal brutal regime that has been suppressing for years and years ok and say is it the tantalizing prospect then of some sort of safe then being negotiated between the tents in the americans is this the any sliver of hope. for the people of italy but the at this moment and i think it's the contrary just just one word on the syrian component in this whole issue think this year the component exist only on the ground with this blood being split and split in well as negotiations are taking place between the bad times they create and the regional powers in fancy offices. and live in this case is being
9:39 am
used as a forced as a post office or a post box actually to exchange messages between these different players as far as the sea and the market forces. zone on the eastern or the if these i think it's i believe it's one problem it's one cause of this conflict because we all nor the russia is using actually in order to put pressure on turkey the russians they are very much upset with the new was talking about. the possible agreement between turkey and the united states on the establishment of a cvs on the eastern part of syria in the east of the euphrates and they are very angry about it and in my opinion they are trying to punish turkey whereas they are punishing the syrians because both sides those who are dying actually without the regime or opposition are syrians nobody is dying in syria or syrians so so the russians actually are using it live in order to put pressure on the in the talks in order to prevent any sort of agreement between turkey and the united states on the
9:40 am
affinities and don't forget also that this round of conflict started right after the failure of the latest a talks between the russians and the turks so in one way or another we are being actually used between these different powers trying to negotiate between them but turkish specific interests in terms of the northern part of italy which of course borders on onto its territory surely it's within turkish interests to have things as calm as possible otherwise i suppose its worst nightmare is a flood of desperate people rushing towards its border it's over. he taken around 3000000 syrian refugees and i think this is i don't think that this is the right approach to solve the syrian conflict because we have to take the syrian conflict in its totality. trying actually to teach a political settlement to this conflict not only for the east and if we tease not only for 2 key to take its interest in into account we need actually as c.d.'s to
9:41 am
look after our the interest of our own people and of the interest of 2 key or iran or russia or the not just the us so that the creation of the save zone and in the north of syria actually she's a smart cookie but it doesn't actually solve the syrian conflict because it's going on people are getting killed as we can see actually on t.v. life on t.v. and facts and nobody is doing anything in order to stop this conflict and no i know that you've got at least one child i think your daughter is about 3 years old now what sort of life is she had up until now and what does she tell you about the impressions that she's had of the early part of her life in italy well your love i can bet my daughter. the rocket from the sky by the. fire was me and her mother combat with my daughter and my baby that when they hear the
9:42 am
voice of an aircraft. i feel i realized even that i know that. maybe they don't realize i'm coming. i think. they have a really a psychological problem just quiet hearing the sounds of a rocket or aircraft coming closer some of them they have a problem with their eye then they have other psychological or physical problems. i mean something to this conversation if the province population in 2000 was 1000000 or 1000000 or have the 1000 and now we have. and there's a police boom 1000000 people in this province that they they don't want to stay at the regime areas so. therefore of the regime controlling it live
9:43 am
means mass killings. huge number of people will be either killed or if they are that they were runaways 30 of them your of them died in the line so if nearly impossible that the regime controlled live without killing right of a 1000 right and yeah we know that ultimately there is no military solution is there to this problem is going to be a political one do you see that. i mean i would suggest that maybe a star has been put to one side the whole process has been put to one side for now the do you say any glimmer of hope by which a new a new round of dialogue can be resuscitated if you like do you think that there's any hope of of dialogue restarting. well i do i really do because i have
9:44 am
