russian allies are pushing deeper into the last rebel stronghold u.n. secretary general has called for an immediate end to the violence in northern syria or. libya but there is a bit i want to kill people before the escape here while we're packing the jeep came and targeted us and killed a large number and injured others and a whole family is missing. let's go now to a duo who is live for us mohammed the violence continues in very close to where you are of course there's a huge number of refugees fleeing. yes indeed judy we are right on the border of turkey and syria and behind me it's a bit hazy but you can make out the ultimate refugee camp it's one of the biggest all that comes. to line up the turkey syria border now a crisis of is unfolding on the other side of the border 125000 people who fled

their homes because of the current owners look by city and forces who are supported by russia some of them out of their homes and many of them living in the old pen the columns full so they can will be accommodated some of them have set up make shift shelters to ward off the cold because it is a rise in the middle of winter which is been very harsh so for the rains expected to come in the next 48 hours or so and turkey is not budging it says it's not going to allow one more city and refugees to cross the border so those people are in limbo they are out in the cold and of the muscle that it means a muhammad are we expecting the military campaign to go on as it has been and if that's the case where can refugees turn to.

well the military operation is still going on and it's not expected to stop any time because bashar less its government is really how bent on getting every last inch of syrian territory in the hands of all position as we know is the last opposition stronghold and in the past few days of clashes they've been making steady progress taking over at least 28 thompson villages and they're getting closer and closer to the strategic city of money which sits right across the 5 highway which links the muskets to aleppo something that i said this keen to get his hands on because of trade and also linking cities under his control the opposition fighters have been putting on us t.v. resistance they managed to recover at this 3 of those villages that have been taken

over by the syrian government forces who are being supported with strikes by the russians and it doesn't look as if it's going to stall which means more people would be leaving their homes and joining the people who are already living out in the open going to joining us live there from ray hamley mohammad thank you. it defining feature of iraq's months long and to give demonstrations has been a complete with checks in of all political parties but one movement has managed to stay on the side dress led by shia cleric mozart aside a smaller fall explains now from baghdad. every afternoon and his friends load his pickup truck full of supplies for demonstrators in baghdad starrer square is from such a city the stronghold of influential shiite cleric mark that assad that this is the capital's most populated and marginalized neighborhood it is also a lifeline for protest. so who says he can be considered

a large storage of humans the majority of the protesters are from sort of city and in addition most of the supplies are from sort of city the sudras dominant role in the protest is controversial protesters have rejected the entire political establishment which technically includes party if you dare to speak out against the cleric in public sutter also appears wary of a backlash and has ordered his followers not to openly discuss their allegiance sutter himself has retreated to iran for religious studies and i shall call it we were in turn out to the process as iraqi people. if the leader came out with us he would be exposed to danger shia cleric commander of insurgencies populist leader of iraq street protest look that a starter has taken many roles over the years and he has become the kingmaker in iraqi politics now he faces a particularly delicate balancing act his followers form the backbone of protest

against the government that he helped form and the parliament in which his party holds the biggest share of seats sutter's party saw it all in 154 of iraq's 329 parliamentary seats in the 2800 but following prime minister out of his resignation the party announced it would nominate a replacement former m.p. he was part of such. start your own alliance but resigned when protests began there is a feeling among. what whoever is chosen by the. not on the because of the president sell. your report by group made your point and they think this person will be more or less formal what is the bonded by the. critics a side on this refusal to nominate a new prime minister is a populist move and an effort to ensure political survival supporters like has done call it a genuine step towards meeting protesters demands and although sudras party won't

officially name a candidate that doesn't mean the sudras haven't made a choice a list of candidates considered acceptable is spent tens across the trail including hasan. some say we selected those 5 candidates based on the consensus of the people in the square use their old independent and they don't belong to any side a particular party we select a v.m. for a transitional period until there are elections in 6 to 12 months rival iranian backed parties have put forward their own candidates whether or not the sudras will get their way will be a test of sudras political influence but no matter who gets their man at the helm of government satirise command over iraq streets appears on contested simona faulting al jazeera part of that. pure palestinian christians from the gaza strip will be able to travel to bethlehem to mark christmas.

celebrations are already underway but the greek orthodox church in gaza says only 193 had 950 applications have been approved israel tightly restricts movement of the gaza strip from the school live that's need to abraham who's in bethlehem and the occupied west bank there need s. so why what's the reason for so few permits being granted this year. usually the israelis do not give answers why they do not grant people permits of course this is not the norm usually they would give around $500.00 to palestinians who would christians who live in the gaza strip there are around 1000 of them it goes in their numbers are dwindling of course every year and usually israelis would side security concerns and reasons as a reason to stop the stimulus from traveling in gaza or in the west bank as we know gaza live under siege and we are expecting that some of them might come in

eventually because that was a decision to reverse the previous ban on many of them to travel and post it is of course believe this is one of the measures the israelis take to bring a wedge between palestinians to make them more fragmented between the west bank the gaza strip and as well as in east jerusalem of course this is one of many concerns about the indians have to do with under occupation and they hope that on the occasion of christmas we've just seen the archbishop but you have protests of it's about to enter the nativity church we hope they hope that at an occasion like that they would help shed some light on bethlehem or the life of palestinians there and joining me now. now is one of the people i trying to do that george bush now he's director of the brainy al said it's a tourism based community based or region tourism project that aids to bring more

causing a lot of problems across parts of europe to begin with now it is parked over parts of turkey and we're dealing with not only the rain but today we're dealing with some very very gusty winds here for parts of egypt the coastal areas and also the coastal areas of israel lebanon syria and also into turkey today it's going to be a very very wet day across much of the area particularly here across the south coast of turkey affecting a donna as well when we see a little bit of snow into the higher elevations tomorrow though the system really doesn't move too much but it moves enough to push on shore we're going to be seeing a lot of rain across the coastal areas we're going to be seeing flooding as well because as the system stays in one place more rain of course falling in a $2448.00 in a 72 hour period a lot of heavy snow will be falling across much of the higher elevations as well and that is going to extend all the way over here towards parts of iraq as well as into iran speaking of the rain though how much we will see well up here across parts of turkey we could see about 200 millimeters of rain and then down here

across much of the coastline probably see about 100 to 150 millimeters of rain but we do expect to see coastal flooding across much of this area it will be several days before the system eventually moves out completely probably not till the weekend so it's going to be a very messy christmas for some people across much of this area back to you. kevin thank you well still ahead here on al-jazeera after months of protests in chile a we'll hear why many say inequality is one of the big problems they're facing. people were interested and they cared and they said now we're not going to spend money to tear it down. once described as a historic ruin the new york pavilions getting an expensive make over. dreaming of a fights christmas the gloves are off at the n.h.l. as it gets into the festive spirit far we'll have that story later in sport. examining the impact of today's headlines you use the misinformation used which by

a the final months of 29000 so daily street protests across latin america well many people were fighting for their own causes there was one issue that most had in common and that was inequality that america is silly see a new man has this report from chile capital santiago. 78 year old widow roy is the matriarch of her large family she lives in a low incomes and neighborhood. with her daughter and her 2 grandchildren she had little formal education and worked hard all her life 1st in the fields and then as a maid to help the family get ahead. i worked in homes where people with money didn't love the stuff used the same as the monsters they did not eat the same food or use the same crockery either. over t. her 48 year old daughter solange concedes that their economic situation has improved but not chile's acute class divisions the 23 year old son stephen studied

law the 1st in the family to graduate from university but there's still an invisible barrier percentage point in my back you will know the students from the upper class have countless advantages from not having to study and work at the same time to access to internal ships and jobs their parents belong to the class with clout and they're not discriminated against because of where they come from. although chile does have the highest per capita income in latin america it also has the highest inequality index the biggest gap between rich and poor in tina for example if you're in the bottom of income you are well made up to 6 generations to get to it and to the mean income that's not all a recent study revealed an astonishing statistic women living in the wealthiest suburbs of santiago have a life expectancy 18 years longer than their counterparts in the poorest

municipalities in men the difference is 9 years says dr alexander v. this would explain the fact that there is an equality is within the city has to do with the segregation social canonic segregation across the city. this persistent class divide helps explain the recent social outbursts in chile i. or than 2 months of ongoing protests that have brought hundreds of thousands on to the streets demanding structural reforms to level the playing field. among us you're gone we were born with different aspirations than our parents and we feel the segregation in the upper class areas where our parents go to work but are treated like inferiors in our neighborhoods that aren't any parks any restaurants cinemas or hospitals. we have to leave our communities to access a better life that generates resentment and discontent.

inequalities and class privileges in this highly stratified society have been passed on from generation to generation putting an end to that system as would millions of chileans are now fighting for. to see in human al-jazeera santiago. for more on this story and i speak to have a century in london he's a senior lecturer in politics queen mary university in london am having a very warm welcome to the prop and to the program what do you think that these life expectancy statistics tell us about the current inequality in shanae. well i think that they relate to the fact that inequalities are beyond income and i think one of the issues that have been raised through in this process is that income inequality has gone inequality has gone down throughout the years but actually this is reflected in the health system is reflected indications system is in fact in the fact that people for the poor response is instant they will have to travel hours and commute every day to actually get to the words and we're only

talking about something over which the capital 40 percent of people live but actually because these replicate themselves across the country in different areas so in a way it's just the inequality that this is something that the us deeply observed doesn't 17 have a broader range of possibilities the simpler income and i think the study you mentioned about about life expectancy is actually a good measure for those who do you think have a that protests have forced some difficult conversations to front and center and made them happen around things like inequality health care and pensions. yes of course i mean just a couple weeks before the 1st person 18 of october the president of chile was giving interviews to national media talking about the countries and races we did not in america right so when you when you think about that and you compare it with the situation now you see that actually this has sparked several conversations are very difficult conversation about pension reform conversations about gender inequality texan and health services and others health and of course issues of

poverty and discrimination so i think that we are now in the country having strong conversations about this process we are going through a constitutional reform process which is the most one of the most innovative ones in the world that has been triggered by these protests and we see this pattern of inequality do we across other parts of the globe and also in another part of the region and what does it take to narrow the gap in these societies and reduce this pattern. well i think it's a combination of things i mean political scientists and social scientists in general have long discussion about whether it's institutions or actual changes in behavior and culture and might have been this is both so obviously the country and across the world there is a change institutions to force people to incorporate the views and indiscrimination patterns of for example because chile there's no i mean the studio all discussing the power can be sure equal with this ration of women into the new constitutional

process things like that are very potent because but the most important thing is how the long standing trends of discrimination that have gone all the way from class struggle to gender discrimination and all the other issues so i think the most complicated problem is that these there are a mixture of colonial legacy is also a mixture of the dealership from this lucky america and how they embedded the system in which individual individual merit is is that the main driver but actually there are structural inequalities and not be recognized have yes a jury of their land and lecture in politics canaries university of london thank you very much for joining us sir with your thoughts. boeing has announced a boardroom shakeup after control the sea over the problems facing its 737 max aircraft chief executive dennis miller and vargas being replaced next month board says the changes needed to restore confidence the jets remain grounded by global

airlines after 2 fatal crashes within 5 months you software has to be approved by industry regulators before the macs can be cleared for takeoff and they speak to alison stewart alan in london she's a branding and marketing analyst at international marketing partners was it important for boring to move forward to remove it's about to be axial. i think it had to there were so there's so many things that need to be changed you need to change and fix the relationship with the f.a.a. you need to change and fix the culture of the business where whistle blowing is clearly not been something that's been encouraged in fact discouraged from the many reports that seem to be now coming out you need to restore trust in the brand from travelers passengers from the airlines themselves from the supply chain so

all of that is not going to be a easily done by an existing c.e.o. who is facing a crisis that has been this protracted and the challenge has been that we haven't really seen a lot of action from dennis mullen bird between the 2 downed jets and today and i think lots of investor and other stakeholder frustration has led to this result and all month no alison we saw the share price rise ever so slightly one spring announced that they were removing limburg as c.e.o. what does that mean in this case it does not strategy always work. it doesn't always work but it does give license to the new person to reinvent and to reset things and it's very difficult if an existing c.e.o. hasn't been having a lot of success in doing all of that resetting and so a new person is a fresh pair of eyes a fresh. relationship perhaps with all of these different key groups
