before west african regional war because they say the people have little for you the justice system. this is al-jazeera. hello i'm daryn jordan this is the out of their news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes. at least 8 people die as syrian government jets strike a school sheltering displaced people turkey is now pressing russia to mediate a truce. as violence escalates in libya turkey considers providing military support for the un backed government in tripoli. protests spread against

a new citizenship law in india that excludes muslims and now there are theories about a population register that critics say discriminates. below it means i might be able to watch television use a computer case with homelessness on the rise in england we visit the center providing a lifeline for rough sleepers at christmas. welcome to the program we begin in syria where at least 8 people including 5 children have been killed in a government airstrike targeting a school it happened in the town of job us that's an idiot province the last rebel held on clay the hundreds of displaced syrians have been sheltering in the school and it was it syrian government forces backed by their russian allies have made steady gains since launching an offensive to retake it live last week more than 40 villages are now under the. control well a surge in fighting prompted

a turkish delegation to travel to moscow to push for a cease fire that has a wave of syrian refugees are fleeing the fighting moving towards the turkish border the un says around 60000 people have been displaced since the offensive began well mohammed was on the turkey syria border he says refugees are now under even more pressure. well the humanitarian crisis is huge and it's keeping on growing because more and more people are being uprooted from their homes. started with the city of modern man which was the target all for the initial strikes bottle bombs underground shelling but now we're seeing other places also reporting people fleeing from them after being targeted by syrian forces sworn a mission to take every last bit of territory that is in the homs all for a position we are right now one of the hobs for the

turkish charity i too which is helping the refugees on the other side of the border and speaking to a senior all fishel who told us that they have been trying us much as possible to help the people who are fleeing 100 under 25000 was the count of this tendency of rising and he says there must be up to 150000 of the moment and he says they cannot provide each family with its own individual talent they've been forced to build this must have tents on high heel to avoid flooding of course and they are communicating of 200 people in every 10th of separate that the men and the women but he says there is a lot of suspicion between the people because it has been home to people who. fled to places like aleppo and other places that the regime had targeted before and he

says there are so many other people who have set up tents on the sides of the road i'm going not want to mingle with the rest of the refugees that he fears for their health because they don't have sanitation they don't have clean water and they do not have food as well and of the moment they say that if you just cannot cook for themselves he says they are forced to to to. to provide them with. us well let's bring in while allen's i doubt he's a middle east expert in the sea of engage that's a united states civic education and mobilization nonprofit he joins us via skype from washington d.c. while good to have you back let's talk 1st about this latest syrian army offensive against it live look it's broken months of stalemate with the rebels holding back the army but let me ask you is it live now likely to fall given this latest onslaught thank you for having me there is a high possibility that it would eventually the latest escalation is around moderate who now what no man is really just 15 to 20 miles south of italy city and

this campaign which began in april and which has displaced about half a 1000000 people already is well on its way to probably capturing the rest of the province a foreign intervention by an outside power and as you say while as ever thousands of civilians are caught up in the fighting we're hearing from turkish state media that 25000 of fled it live in the past 2 days alone just how worrying is the scale of this latest exodus. anyone who was worried in 2016 when i looked at was falling and was aghast at the images of people seeking refuge in europe and drowning in the mediterranean should be extremely worried because you have 3000000 people civilians they are now at risk and will do whatever they can to escape certain death and which mean pushing toward turkey pushing toward europe pushing toward lebanon pushing toward anywhere else but. the hell that the russians have

created for them as you say while the numbers are simply horrifying i mean since the latest campaign began some 125000 have been displaced or are we looking at yet another humanitarian catastrophe unfolding on the ground the thing almost certainly and no one should be surprised when tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people end up pressing against their respective country's borders this is the same scenario that has been playing out in syria since 2011 homes rustan's. aleppo now it's we know how this is going to go and really the world has only watched it and turkey wants moscow to test obvious a cease fire in it is that likely to happen given that the russian backed syrian forces are clearly intent on keeping up the pressure on the rebels in italy. only likely to happen in terms of providing perhaps again you just have to look at the

recent past they may agree to 24 hours 48 hours over at a ceasefire to allow people to leave those areas that is that is part of their strategy. because you know support the besiegement the starvation of towns bombed them until they surrender and then maybe provide an escape route for 24 to 48 hours for mainly women and children but now for men between the age of 14 and 40 so they may greet to it but it won't be to you know to to to provide a long term respite for civilians only for their surrender while elsie i thank you very much indeed for sharing your thoughts with us thank you when all syrian customs officials have seize the assets of the country's wealthy as businessman it's the 1st time an order has been issued for iranian the truth was the cousin of president bashar al assad he's been accused of importing products including oil and gas without paying charges and fees the e.u. and u.s.

have already imposed sanctions on the truth who reportedly control 60 percent of syria's economy where chris dorner is a middle east analyst he explains why like move may have been targeted. the matter who family right in the sense at the core of this regime remember the heart as the last sentence the father of bashar last sent was not marriage to a nice matter which is. now a week land as well as the assets and in fact in many ways of for greater social standing and who's the father and he was very much the regime's banco he is extremely rich so to see the regime taking action like this you get somebody so senior and indeed. there were parts of this new crony capitalism that underpin the regime jemma demonstrates that all is not well in new and in a echelons of power now there's a number of scenarios one can consider here there is an extent the regime is trying

to shore up its legitimacy at a time of real declining revenues when so many syrians are destitute or below the poverty line. and are resentful of those who have millions who actually show off their wealth in a way and we've seen this also with a man who found it they have been prepared to be all sorts of stories on social media and pictures of some of their family with gas cards and the like so this is resent that it could also be that given the regime has so little financial results at the moment that they are trying to basically corral in as many billions and billions they can at least 4 people have been killed in libya and the latest airstrikes by forces loyal to the war or 24 have top 7 others were injured when a vegetable market was struck in the town of 10 shura that's going to tripoli last week have to announce what he called a final offensive to take the capital for libya's internationally recognized

government is believed to have asked turkey to send ground troops and ankara is reportedly preparing to respond to that request. for the past few years libya has been divided between 2 rival governments the un recognized the ministration led by prime minister fires are sarah is based in tripoli it's supported by turkey and most western nations including italy which is worried the fighting will force more people to cross the mediterranean in the east there's the book based government the center of power for the warlord and he for have to are he's backed by egypt saudi arabia russia and the united arab emirates france is also accused of providing military support for his forces would have to why he has more from tripoli on the government's request for turkish help the government sources say that the type of turkish military. individuals requested by the g.n.a.t. the government of national called is military commanders and the government

officials say that the troops on the ground did the government forces are in need of military commanders to range this battle and to run the battle on the ground to prevent have to his forces from entering get their capital why now the government is demanding military commanders because have to his forces have been recently advancing with the help of russian is according to the government military source of. russian mysteries are fighting for hastert and have to this force have been receiving advanced weapons from the united arab emirates and also from russia now. says that in order for the government to send troops to libya it needs to submit a mandate to the turkish parliament so that it could be endorse it and then in this

case it can send troops to libya. well on us al d'amato his general director of the sonic institute he says helped us push for trepanning is being almost entirely led by foreign forces it's interesting to look at these 2 parties on the one hand the libyan national army in the east of libya and the djinn a government of national accord in the west and libya for when we qualify what there's 2 sides really look like on the libyan national army is hard after side there's not really much that is libyan we think of its air force it's predominantly and almost wholeheartedly been run by external electors by the u.a.e. from that in eastern libya using chinese but you would lose that hold and drones at the used in libya for the last 5 years documented in the u.n. and the mix the reports its ground forces have been ineffective since they launched this campaign and if before and we're not able to make it possible that the reason they're making in their process suburbs of tripoli is that it is no longer

a libyan led operation it's entirely run by the going to be the russian messengers that were well known to be operating in syria and then now operating in libya as of the last couple of months going to the days of libyan national army the libyan recognizability and faces even on social media the pictures being they're using kind of a propaganda shattering kind of war crimes for like as has been the case the last 5 years it's kind of gone silence all we know now is that there was a russian that operation in western libya so the idea that somehow turkey has grabbed the headlines is really going to wrenching it from its context this has been an international conflict for years a couple of 100 most of these that are on the front lines of tripoli and not enough to take control of the capital there were enough to erupt and really potentially cause a very nasty the military crisis on the border or even on the shores of the mediterranean only kilometers away from europe so it's a very nasty specter. at least 35 civilians mostly women the been killed in an attack in northern between a fast so. similar tenuous raids in an army base and civilians near the town of. 7

members of the local security forces were also killed but enough asos president says the attack was eventually repelled and 80 rebel fighters with whom. we have to think about solidarity and national cohesion people women for the most part were getting water and got murdered in cold blood by the terrorists while they were retreating we must show compassion with the population that is why all flags will fly at half mast for 2 days and all christmas celebrations are cancelled. also to come on the news hour including what's pushing china japan and south korea to very decades old differences and put up a show. while anti-government protests in iraq are projected the main political parties we look at the one movement that's still influential and support one of the european football's most feared. by making a move details later with. now

india's cabinet has announced new guidelines and approved funds for an updated national population register or n.p.r. that critics fear could be used to further discriminate against muslims the survey was introduced in 2010 but for the 1st time people will be asked to share information about the date and place of birth of their parents and also be asked to give details of identity documents like voter cards driving licenses and passports the government's approved more than $500000000.00 in funding for the excise but critics say discriminates meanwhile the protests continue across the country against the new citizenship legislation that critics say is anti muslim since it was possibly $25.00 people have been killed in violence. has more on the lathe. rests. marching to the beat of their own drum thousands of people have

defied a bat on public gatherings in the indian capital new delhi. they pose a recently possible that grant citizenship to religious minorities from the fans fun pakistan and bangladesh but excludes muslims i think this lawyer he's an existential threat to the idea of a secular india as it is defined in the constitution it all took on the back of the many other groups you know things that causes all resentment against the government it's not one thing it's an accumulated resentment against his government a government could fix a is using ideological issues like religion to distract people from the problems facing the country the real issue is that economy's on the slow down that unemployment it is regarded never in the last 40 years that. distress and in order to divert attention from those issues. in the 1st people here said they won't let the government do that was

a pretty fair chanting slogans against the government. and all thought police would told earlier to detain demonstrations they just watching from the sidelines. they were even bigger protests elsewhere from as some of the northeast to saddam and the south but the governing be j.p. insists these a small sporadic protests being prompted by political parties look at the protests today it is the protest you just you just you just came from a gentleman. you know in a city of one kind or 30 lakh people if you have 200 people to have 300 people and you say that is for this do you think that's relevant please give me a break. the government has launched a campaign on social media to calm the anger in the muslim community i am really want to assure them that there is really no real grounds. what is a groan this does not discriminate against them. india supreme court is expected to

hear the case next month. but for the government of the day and modi. it's a protest post the biggest challenge since he came to power 5 years ago elizabeth pradhan al jazeera new delhi violent protests are broken out of a number of shopping malls in hong kong during a busy christmas eve with riot police firing tear gas in a bid to disperse demonstrators protesters threw umbrellas and other objects the police and charging them with batons families have been gathering in a busy tourist district to do the christmas lights the protests are now in their 7th month and demonstrators say they want to stage another march on new year's day . now china japan and south korea have agreed to work together to promote dialogue between the u.s. and north korea the country's 3 leaders made the pledge at a summit in southern china the leaders also discuss trade and agreed to closer cooperation despite tensions dating back more than 100 years katrina you reports now from beijing. overlooking old wounds by reinforcing ancient

times china japan and south korea presented a united front during the trilateral summit in china's southern city of trying to do what i would if i want to build a new era of 3 kingdoms in which we cooperate and develop together with the international community. setting aside deep grievances dating back to world war 2 the leaders of asia's largest economies pledged to work closely together on trade they want to agree on a 16 nation regional comprehensive economic partnership or. by the end of next year and continue negotiations on a 3 nation free trade agreement trade between south korea japan and china exceeded $720000000000.00 in $20000.00. for her we need to protect the free trade in order to help business activities and continue to grow together north korea carrying out a missile test over the christmas period overshadowed some of the pageantry chinese

prime minister lee could chunk south korean president one day in and japanese prime minister shinzo agreed to continue supporting negotiations between washington and pyongyang demand for the u.s. to lift economic sanctions has led to a halt in the nuclear talks and an end to be a deadline to progress the negotiations is fast approaching. china is north korea's most important ally and sees itself as playing a sense for what works and for 3 privation on the korean peninsula has its thing why would nations to lift sanctions on pla want to help break the deadlock but it's unclear whether so or tokyo worth u.s. allies would support rights. on monday when jay and she met separately with chinese president xi jinping in beijing. china the summit is an opportunity to expand its regional influence but the 3 countries have currently embroiled in territorial disputes miss south china sea. south korea and japan are allies with the

u.s. so if china can develop and improve the relations with these 2 countries crees u.s. influence in this region and the weakened china's pressure from the u.s. the leaders have signed a 10 year corporation plan which includes tackling shared challenges such as climate change and aging populations. but the biggest challenge perhaps is if they can view it with trust rather than risk to. leave out. the u.s. president donald trump has joked about north korea's warning of a christmas surprise if washington does not make concessions in nuclear talks early this month young and gave the u.s. until the end of the year to come up with a new proposal. maybe it's administration maybe it's a president we're essentially a beautiful was. supposed to. make it up and make it a nice present you know you never russia's president says his country will continue

strengthening its nuclear forces and developing hypersonic missiles until a new arms control agreements are reached at an annual meeting of russia's defense ministry that amir putin said washington's withdrawal from the cold war era nuclear treaty and the expansion of nato were key concerns for moscow he says 82 percent of the country's nuclear arsenal have been modernized. to go we are ready to work on new arms control agreements but until this process is launched we will strengthen our own nuclear forces i mean equipping ourselves with strategic hardware sonic missile forces with modern complexes and strategic missiles as well as you can use submarines who are our navy and we will continue to work on the creation of other missile systems capable of defending russia and its allies iraq's parliament has approved a new electoral law in a bid to make elections fairer granting one of the demands of anti-government protestors that all gives independent politicians a better chance of winning seats in parliament also jabari is in baghdad she

explains what the changes will mean for voters. there are being called a very significant change to the country's electoral system this article was passed with the short time ago in parliament it includes 50 divisions within it which states that the country's electoral system will not be changed it will be one that it will be based on direct voting rather than parties having electoral lists of candidates that they selected this is something that was very important to the demonstrators and it took weeks of political wrangling to make it happen in parliament a number of sessions were held without any of these laws being passed but finally on choose they the country's parliament managed to get it through and it's being seen as a very significant development and something that would not have happened without the protests taking place in this country which began in october it's being seen as a major step towards what the demonstrators and the people of iraq have wanted and that is a system which they have some sayed how they elect their members of parliament and

now this is being seen as something that has been granted to them and it will be very very interesting to see how the demonstrators react to this in the coming days but was still also waiting for a nominee candidate for the position of prime minister that is something that is being very much debated now between the various parties in parliament and they hope to have inappropriate candidates in the coming days with the demonstrators have said that despite all their political wrangling they want to be able to elect their own prime minister will have to wait and see how that pans out. a defining feature of iraq's months long to government demonstrations has been the complete rejection of all political parties but one movement has managed to stay on side the sudras. so manifold and reports now from baghdad. every afternoon half an hour and his friends load his pickup truck full of supplies for demonstrators in baghdad square hasan 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 the protests. so who says he can be considered a large storage of humans the majority of the protesters are from starter city and in addition most of the supplies are from sort of city the sudras dominant role in the protest as 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 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 ceterus party saw it all in won 54 of iraq's 329 parliamentary seats in the 2800 but following prime minister his resignation the party announced it would nominate a replacement former m.p. he was part of sutter stuff. you don't alliance but resigned when protests began there is a feeling among the good at birth instance what whoever is chosen by the. not on the because of the president because it's a merger or it is proposed by a broker group made your point earlier and they think this person will be more honest from what is the bonded by the same group. 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 house on 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 pinned to tense across the table including hasan of the world some say. 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 or 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's streets appears uncontested simona faulting al jazeera but of that protestors in algeria defying calls for

a day of mourning for the deceased minister chief of staff they say was part of the corrupt ruling elite. died on monday in the hospital after suffering a heart attack saleh was regarded as the most powerful man in the country following the resignation of a longtime president abilities but i think and i will the new president of margin to moon announced a 3 day period of mourning. time for a short break here and al-jazeera when we come back up to months of protests and we'll hear what many say is one of the biggest problems they face. people were interested and they cared and they said now we're not going to spend money to tear it down. once described as an historic ruling the new york video is getting an expensive myco. on a sport bangladesh deal one of the asian rivals a major blow someone explained in the sport more nuts for.
