senate prepares for trial. and the u.n. warns of a grave food emergency in parts of southern africa and says climate change is to blame. russian and syrian warplanes have resumed attacks on the last rebel held province at least 21 civilians have been killed in live in recent days and that's despite a cease fire that was supposed to have started on sunday the white helmets rescue group has recorded more than a dozen violations of the cease fire al-jazeera is caught here lopez hayat reports . the damage caused by one of several air strikes in the northwest province of a plant survivors trying to salvage what's left. emergency crews combed the rubble to recover the body of a child. that done. other civilians were among the casualties and it lit city

i. did it give a jihad in the afternoon it lapses he was targeted by stroke or 23 jets they hit the industrial area and a hallmark it must of those hurt have serious injuries. in a nearby hospital friends console a father grieving his son was a ceasefire which started on sunday was shattered on a one step 6. i was in syrian and russian jets attacked it that city as well as several rebel held town was the ceasefire was brokered by turkey which supports the rebels and russia which backs the syrian government's 9 month offensive thank fighters are going to al qaeda are the strongest forces in these areas home to around 3000000 civilians according to the u.n.

close 240-0000 syrians have been forced from their homes and it lives in the past 10 weeks no time no shelter no food people are starving to death in this governor and they're not being bald they're dying because they're hungry the kremlin says it's targeted rebels who've attacked civilian government held areas and what's supposed to be a so-called deescalation zone i russia and turkey are reported to have been to go sheeting the establishment of a secure zone for the displaced during the winter and russia has announced humanitarian corridors have already been established to allow people in its lips to cross over into government held territory. it's unclear how many have chosen to go . with a yawn al-jazeera and more than $5000000.00 children have been displaced since the conflict began 9 years ago that's according to the u.n. which says that abuse is rife a report by the un commission of inquiry to syria says that warring parties on both sides have killed maimed and subjected children to serious violations

pro-government forces used cluster munitions and chemical weapons sexual violence and torture we used against men women and children thousands of schools have been destroyed or used for military purposes and more than 2000000 boys and girls are not attending classes regularly at a gala is a member of the u.n. commission of inquiry on syria which released the report and says the majority of children dying in syria could have been saved. we're seeing children who have been dying not just because of the bombings and the sieges but today as we speak children are dying because of the lack of humanitarian access and the lack of medical care and poor conditions but i guess for me what's been shocking is to look at what hope there is for children in syria today going forward we're still as i said seeing preventable deaths education is now devastated and you know in what way

will they be able to catch up to we're talking a generation that has lost schooling you know $5000000.00 displaced internally and externally right now obviously the 1st thing that could be done is everybody stops bombing schools and facilities that children need that's pretty going forward and what we've said in the report is we need. to start rebuilding these places so children can be back at school rather than be out about out on the streets or involve them in the conflict etc we need to be looking at the medical facilities and and the humanitarian assistance that children need desperately because they're dying you know which is quite remarkable that at this stage we're still reporting we were reporting on children dying when they were sieges when nobody could get in and out but you know why should children die in italy bridgeman. when you know

there's nothing really that should be preventing international humanitarian assistance other than bureaucracy isn't un resolutions and lack of cooperation on the part of of states. there are new diplomatic efforts to end the civil war in libya germany's foreign minister has flown to the libyan city of benghazi of a crisis talks with the renegade ward khalifa haftar it comes ahead of the libya conference on sunday in berlin the prime minister of the un backed government fires also raj are expected to attend those talks and hours ago turkey's president announced the deployment of troops to libya has begun the deployment comes off to ankara agreed last month to come to the aid of the libya un backed government fighting near the capital tripoli has resumed following the failure of peace talks in moscow on monday the warlord khalifa haftar us forces have been trying to capture the capital for the past 9 months al-jazeera. is live for us now in

istanbul tell us more about the speed and scale of this deployment. well adam and present are gone actually repeated the reality that was already on the ground because since turkey and the un back government d.n.a. has signed. a detailed corp agreement on security and defense some turkish troops have already been deployed. the military doesn't exactly reside and number about how many troops have been deployed but my sources on the ground told me today that there are around 18185 turkish troops who are on advisory and military training mission not combat mission so far turkish military hasn't stated anything about a potential size of the turkish troops that are going to be deployed in the we are to support the jna but what we know was that the turkish military deployment in

libya is going to be non-combat they're just going to be advising the jna forces and they're going to be training them and you know turkish president reject their power don has had already a state of long ago that turkey is exporting only defense industrial products to the jna to the u.n. . back government in order to ease their needs in terms of military defense industry so this is the situation right now but a turkish prison statement came after. general having for car said that he would be abiding by the cease fire that was proposed that was led by russia and turkey but german foreign ministers twits are important it seems that this weekend's conference about libya that is going to be held in berlin will be fruitful and so far russia and turkey despite have tars decision not to decisional not abide by the

cease fire they they all both sides said that they are trying to preserve their often ism so this weekend is going to be very import. about a future political solution but didn't come up in libya so the many thanks did let's hear from our libya correspondent put up the one who's in tripoli and says the turkish military assistance has already helped the internationally recognized government to defend the capital have that his forces have been striving over the past few months to get into into the capital city center but they have not so far because of the turkish military existence as he said in the form of troops or advanced weapons remember that the government of national called several times that . that request the official request. to turkey to send troops and weapons because the government says it is the only libyan legitimate institution by virtue of.

legitimacy it can request officially from another government military assistance and that's the same president of the un said in several occasions he said that we we will not mind to send troops and weapons to libya as long as we receive an official request official invitation from legitimate government the government of national accord said several times that if have to as a legitimate. leader is that a good unofficial mercenaries from our russia from african countries like sudan and chad then the government believes that it is their right it is its right to. to request help from another legitimate government as long as it's defending itself and also it's facing the aggression by have to its forces on the capital tripoli.

yourself out of other is an international security and politics analyst is also a retired turkish colonel joins us now live from istanbul good to have you with the son once again germany's foreign minister says that in principle after is committed to attending the berlin conference he's also according to the foreign ministry which has tweeted the information committed to a cease fire what do you make of that. one of the most important issues that mr half that lead in signed the ceasefire agreement inside russia with the ethic of some european union countries and together really united arab emirates airports together with egypt put in the street isn't it perhaps there is supposed to participate to do but i mean. because if he does not also part speak to the balance i mean this summit has no meaning and the 2nd is the 2nd issue is that if he does not participate probably he will be the big loser e.p.a.

does not parts of the berlin conference but i do believe that some parts of the berling conference such as france and united arab emirates. are motivating kaptur not to sign any agreement in sight there are russia when you say that he will be the big loser do you mean that if he doesn't. come to some sort of agreement that his forces will suffer a military drubbing when they come up against turkish forces on the ground in libya . not on the parameter you cite but also there will be and other countries including correction from my point of perspective because what i mean take a look at the half the us forces as a warlord. aircraft guided missile systems which is coming from prince united arab emirates but the intelligent who is planning all kind of warfare is coming. coming most of the problem the russian private military contractors so if he thinks

that he can or would throw the government off national a court which is backed by the united nations. the support of russia and the turkish forces who is writing in the name of the government of nation like or probably he is not calculating some issues accordingly in my opinion after the berlin summit if the thing score in the negative side because from my point of course back then everyone still thinks optimistic yet still till monday but even on monday that believes that he will fight against the government of national accord turkey will deploy special forces including electronical warfare units in order to . keep ineffective it is drawn systems and also air defense systems which will let perhaps there's aircraft courses meal not be able to operate from the air if i

leave a half there cannot operate from the air because of the turkish air defense system than the help there has no power on the ground along turkey have forces other than its regular armed forces on the ground in libya. there's so far as the president's the president said yes there are some ground courses which is all the red located inside libya from the turkish side but if the scores to the negative because turkey see it is a very white bill to keep in power of the government of nation the court because by way of hope that they are trying to push turkey inside the mediterranean very limited area and turkey will never accept this part of the season starting from monday if that does not cease fire also inside the berlin probably totally will sound more troops including navy and air force together electronical war theory units and he had defense systems good to talk to somebody thanks indeed use of

about of the inestimable. claims from a close associate of donald trump's lawyer could be about to throw a new twist into the impeachment case left partner said that the president was directly involved in efforts to pressure ukraine it's a merciless members of the u.s. house impeachment team prepared to officially start the trial process against donald trump in around 2 hours from now they'll read the articles accusing the president of abuse of power and threatening to withhold military aid to ukraine in exchange for a political favor the trial is expected to begin next week let's go live now to washington our white house correspondent kelly how could a standing by at one of these revelations than from the associate of the president's lawyer. yeah the man left part is as you stated there

an associate of rudolph giuliani rudolph giuliani is the president's personal attorney now these revelations in a nationally televised interview are that the president knew exactly what was going on with regard to this effort to pressure ukraine into digging up dirt on political rival former vice president joe biden now this is something that donald trump has repeatedly denied that there was any quid pro quo in fact the white house has repeatedly denied instead the associate love parness is saying that the president knew exactly what was going on he was aware of my movements now also revealing in this is the fact that the 2 have been photographed together donald trump and parness even as the president has made claims that he does not know this individual this is certain to cause problems for the president as the white house attempts to shut this trial down say there's no need to call witnesses democrats on capitol

hill have been saying this is something that needs to get out the american public need to hear it this is only going to build this case now also being revealed in all of this adrian is the revelation that the ukrainian government is now looking into whether or not the former u.s. ambassador to ukraine rory ivana vege whether or not she had been surveilled because there was also new revelations coming out that in fact this was the case that there was an effort to try and block her from kind of speaking out about her concerns about a parallel channel of diplomacy essentially she was concerned about this unusual effort by the white house tried to raise this and when she did we know she was removed from her post so new and explosive revelations coming out particularly damaging for the u.s. president who's trying to say he did nothing wrong a white house correspondent can really help reporting live there from washington kimberly. at the moment many thanks didn't go to capitol hill then how did your

castro can talk us through what's due to happen today out it all begins what about 2 hours time. that's right around noon time here in washington we will see a repeat really of that ceremonial procession that played out yesterday will again see those articles of impeachment being carried by hand from one side of the u.s. capitol building to the other in accompanied by those 7 impeachment managers those are the democratic congress people who will be arguing the case to remove president trump from office once his trial starts they'll deliver those articles laying out the allegations the accusations against trump then that will be read aloud the wording of those documents will be read aloud by adam schiff who is the lead manager in the prosecution team is the chair of the house intelligence committee so we'll expect to hear those read while the all 100 u.s.

senators are sitting silently at their desks within the senate chamber you'll see a lot of pomp and circumstance because rules say that those senators cannot have any electronic devices with them in the chamber in fact they have to be absolutely silent on penalty of imprisonment through the duration of this trial we expect then a few hours after that this very afternoon for the chief supreme court justice john roberts to be accompanied across the street from where the u.s. supreme court houses to the capitol building he will be ushered by some select senators who will then ask for him to the senate chambers he will take the oath and then he will administer the oath to those $100.00 senators who will pledge to be impartial jurors in deciding the president. guilt or innocence then on tuesday is

when we expect those opening arguments to begin in the case they could drag on for a few days and we'll hear from the president's defense team as well as from those democrats who are arguing the case against president trump following the completion of those arguments which may again be several days long and that is when will be introduced the question of whether or not the senators want to include more witnesses including what we just heard kimberly reporting from the white house including this new trove of evidence that has just emerged against the president al jazeera cited jocasta reporting live there from capitol hill heidi many thanks indeed joining us now via skype from the 1st of maryland is a political science professor at the american university that he predicted the trouble be impeached on the night that he was elected as the author of the case for impeachment good to have you with us as always what do you make of these claims from mr. president says it was no him.

well you know obviously the information that part of this is provided corroborate what he said quite frankly that trump is lying to be no surprise that the president of flying the washington post has documented over 15000 lives and misleading statements by this president obviously part of this is a tainted witness because he is under indictment for allegedly funneling illegal foreign money into a pro trump super pac but here's what's critical his testimony is very strong re supported by the documents photos voice recordings that he provided to the house and that's the gaiters and absolutely dovetails with the testimony of gordon starman the man who gave a $1000000.00 to know your ration and was

a point that embassador to the european union and had direct contact with the president it also fits with one of the lichtman rules of politics which is the guy at the top always 'd know you don't have this big of an operation that's just being run by a bunch of rogue subordinates never happens but that doesn't mean you left out of his claims and actually mashhad as you say to me to corroborate what gordon sunderland said and things that we we already know that are in the public domain already. oh it matters a great deal because one of the key pulling some trumps defenders is that there is no evidence that trump was directly involved in the shakedown ukraine obviously gordon sundin's testimony questions that but the

documents and statements by artist and further credibility to what someone says and for shreds the defense of donald trump and that is really the key point of the defense that there's no evidence that trump knew it was involved that now seems completely incredible but it's not going to make a difference though in the trial is it i mean surely nothing nothing will win of republican senators even though they're supposed to. to be impartial in this matter and i will be will be sworn in in a such but i still going to going to go the president's way on the. well yes and no obviously the smart money says there's no chance the president will be convicted and removed by a $2.00 thirds vote that would take 20 republican senators the during the $47.00 democrats but there was another crucial element here will there be a real trial in which witnesses like john bolton the former national

security adviser make mulvaney the acting chief of staff and o m b director and maybe even live on a small thing called will block documents the produce that takes only 4 republican senators to join the $47.00 democrats to have a majority for a real trial and that would make a huge difference the cost this trial has to endure one set of jurors of course. but the other set of yours on the american people and even if what are likely to be stunning revelations from these witnesses and documents produced may not move 20 republican senators convict the president they could well move public opinion what you'll obviously be critical in the november election professor as always could still keep many thanks indeed for being with us i look for that. in your agent. back to stan's foreign minister says the taliban has shown

a willingness to reduce violence in neighboring afghanistan shah mehmood qureshi made the announcement amid stalled talks between the armed group and the us the taliban wants a full withdrawal of all foreign troops they also refuse to hold direct talks with the afghan government washington says that any withdrawal deal must have security guarantees pakistan has assisted in mediation efforts to bring an end to the afghan war. the taliban have shown their willingness to reduce the violence which was a demand and i believe that this is a step towards an agreement towards a peace agreement. which is there is a mistrial he joins us now live from the afghan capital kabul what's the significance of pakistan's foreign minister's comments. well adrian that's really the question at the moment this is what the significance is of this latest announcement of what many are calling

a ceasefire what the taliban are referring to as a reduction in violence the significance really depends on what happens next now from our part here the bureau in kabul we've spoken to members in the leadership structure of the taliban both here in afghanistan and as part of the negotiating team in doha in qatar and what we've been told is that they cannot confirm exactly how long a cease fire will be the initial reports were suggesting between a week to 10 days they do not want to confirm any specific timeline but they can say that they have agreed in principle in a letter that was delivered to the u.s. negotiators for a short reduction in violence and that reduction in violence language is very important here they were keen not to call it a cease fire they acknowledge that perhaps that is what many are referring to it as actionable on the ground that is likely what it may look like if an agreement is reached but they're keen not to call it specifically a cease fire referring to it as a reduction in violence because they don't want to interrupt any sort of. they don't want to cause any sort of disruption within their ranks the taliban are very

focused on the fact that within the ranks of their own organization there is a great deal of skepticism when it comes to negotiating with the united states also know that their biggest bargaining chip the main power source they have in any sort of talks is their ability to have military strength and their ability to carry out violent attacks both on the provincial and district level so many thanks data. live in kabul. the united nations has raised alarm over the unprecedented food crisis in southern africa 45000000 people face severe shortages according to the world food programme is of drought widespread flooding and economic turmoil are being blamed for the emergency the 16 countries in the region of had a normal crop season only once in the last 5 years zimbabwe is the worst hit with 7700000 people that's half the population suffering severe food shortages and one

5th of the population in zambia a regional bread basket is struggling to feed itself joe ork is the spokesperson for the world food programme for southern africa he joins us now live from johannesburg good to have you with us joe is this a new problem problem i mean surely. as we said years of drought and widespread flooding and economic turmoil of being blamed for this current emergency when when did it start well it's an annual problem every year between harvests and there is basically a single harvest in a given year the harvest typically comes in an april may and as stocks from the previous harvest run down people get hungrier so we are now at the peak of the lean season but the numbers are unprecedented $45000000.00 is a record so it is a crisis of dramatic proportions all right so what's it going to take to fix it

money i suppose. absolutely the world food program's operation that runs until the next harvest in in april may cost $500000000.00 we have secured just $200000000.00 of that so we need pledges urgently because it can take weeks if not months for a financial commitment to translate into food on the ground because so much of africa has been so hard hit by drove in flooding this year we have to procure very far afield so there are very long lead times between procurement shipment and arrival of food in country isa you need you need pledges from whom general. well governments business individuals even but typically much of the

money that. you have p. collects for crises like these come from national governments so we need to step up step in very quickly what are the prospects then of getting the sources in time for what you said april may. absolutely time is running out as they say because it can take weeks if not months to procure and ship the food we really do need those commitments very urgently people are struggling they are destitute families are down to one meal a day if even that they're taking their children out of school or selling off what little they have by way of precious belongings their borrowing money and going into debt so it's a crisis of many dimensions and it is getting worse i should also say that you

mention the fact that the region has had one normal rainy season in the last 5 years the weather forecasts are telling us that in the run up to the next harvest it is going to continue to be exceptionally hot exceptionally dry so the prospects are for yet another poor harvest in southern africa this year gerri good to talk to you many thanks indeed for being with us the spokesman for the world food program for the southern africa will get a weather update next here on the fears of a volcanic tsunami in the philippines sent thousands fleeing the homes of others defying evacuation notices. poland polarized by the arts of become a battleground for the country's political divisions and later in sport a rare set back for le bron james and the los angeles lakers.

making a joint statement on the iran plane crash they said that they called rather for a thorough independent and transparent investigation they said that iran should pay compensation to families of the victims and they're calling for an independent criminal investigation impartial judicial proceedings against those responsible for the plane crash our reporter is inside that press conference we'll get some analysis from him a little later in the news but for the moment we'll move on facing pressure at home and abroad iran's president says that dialogue is still possible that a televised speech and some rouhani insisted that he wants to prevent war but he also said that tehran has now surpassed you raney him in richmond limits set under the 2015 nuclear deal iran is accusing europe of yielding to u.s. quote bullying the triggering a dispute mechanism that could reimpose u.n.

sanctions on tehran. when the u.s. pulled out of the nuclear deal contacted the other parties and expressed our preparedness to fulfill our obligations however today we in terms of the nuclear power we have no limit we are in a much better situation compared to before the deal our uranium enrichment today it's much higher than that stipulated in the deal we had signed we cannot sit on our hands they abandon their obligations we will reciprocate more from our serious asset beg in turn. it was a very defiant message by president rouhani now we know that iran has been phasing back it's cutting back its commitment in regards to that 2015 nuclear deal that started last year it's been in 5 phases the last phase but early january now according to that deal they're not allowed to enrich uranium past 3.67 percent we know that it's over 4.5 percent we know that they're not allowed to stockpile

uranium more than 300 kilograms we know that they've exceeded that but iran has been very clear and transparent about this that they've said that the europeans are not sticking to their commitments as part of that deal so iran has slowly been reducing its commitments president rouhani spoke about the state of the economy he said that we accepted the risks when we started that reduction in commitments yes it has been difficult but the economy is working and again a very defiant message saying to the world that yes we are reducing these commitments but iran is willing to talk at all these reductions are reversible if the european countries come back to their obligations to that deal and also saying to the new european countries that they need to stand up to the united states because the united states unilaterally pulled out of this deal under donald trump the swedish foreign minister linda and has been speaking and then sorry has been speaking to british media this morning and she said that the 3 countries are trying to force iran and the united states back to the negotiating table and back to the

j.c. p. o. a nuclear deal but she rejected the idea by u.k. prime minister blair is johnson iran should negotiate a new deal under donald trump. iran's foreign minister and the e.u. foreign policy chief of met in india's capital on the sidelines of a security conference to discuss the latest developments around the deal the meeting in new delhi focused on efforts to preserve the agreement amid rising tension between tehran and washington iran's foreign minister has blasted the e.u. over its failure as an owner of the nuclear deal the u.s. unilaterally withdrew in 2018 they discussed the latest developments related to both j.c. and to the situation in the region i repeat underline the continued interest of the european union to preserve the nuclear deal and also the strong interest of the e.u. to be able to contribute to the de-escalation in the region and yes they will they

will continuing these contacts warnings of another volcanic eruption in the philippines a forced thousands more people to abandon the homes access to high risk areas is limited near the volcano buildings have collapsed and evacuation centers are now almost full al-jazeera is rob mcbride join scientists as they monitor the volcano in but time this province south of manila here's his report. it looks deceptively small and right now deceptively benign. but it's in a lake formed in the crater of a much larger ancient full kaino. the combination of molten rock and water is explosive and threatening what experts call a volcanic tsunami are missing we just need the ingredients for us and water. up there since sunday's 1st eruption after being dormant for 40 years scientists

from the philippines volcanic agency 5th arcs are working overtime to try and predict what the hull might do next. in. the next few days we're in we are trying to if we keep this right now are going to intensify. researchers are tracking the number and intensity of many earthquakes coming from the volcano as well as testing for gases it emits. although the plumes of volcanic dust and ash have declined the amount of invisible sulfur dioxide gas is a good indicator of how much molten rock is moving towards or reaching the surface . very tricky so whatever it's not always you get a lot so there are a lot of things happening underneath and in that one we need to know actually what the volcano is doing right now and their need is if we monitored. these tests are

proving to hard poses a potential danger and provoking warnings of an imminent fall can make explosion forcing $40000.00 filipinos to seek safety. there's been criticism of the philippines vulcanologists that they weren't able to give more of a warning about this eruption especially as increased activity was detected months ago but in spite of their experience active volcanoes such as this one on notoriously unpredictable no one can predict what will do next rob mcbride al-jazeera batangas province northern philippines. the divide between the political right and left in poland is mirrored in the arts world much has changed in the country since the end of communism almost 30 years ago and conservative attitudes are often at odds with more liberal thinking not just in politics but on stage 2 from the baltic portion of al-jazeera is not in baba reports. the
