a war zone with their child only to watch that child freeze to death many members contend the crisis is a direct consequence of russian support can only and with the plea to our russian colleagues to stop the support of syria if you tell the syrians that there is no longer military support to the syrian regime they will have to stop the onslaught on their own population so we will get one school girl again to my german colleagues we will not stop supporting the legitimate government of syria which is conducting a legitimate fight against international terrorists how can you justify carrying out such indiscriminate and inhumane attacks what are you doing to uphold international humanitarian law what are you doing to protect the people who are fleeing where do you expect those people to flee to and another question posed
2:04 am
by the u.s. ambassador the question i asked before the council today then. what will tomorrow's headline be in what are we going to do about it the answer today as it has been on so many occasions in the security council before nothing the security council has been deeply divided since the very beginning of the syrian conflict russia has wielded its veto on 14 occasions preventing any form of united security council action in the face of what is becoming the greatest humanitarian crisis of the 21st century the international community appears unable to act political interests continuing to take priority over the suffering of millions of civilians mike hanna al-jazeera united nations. turkey's president ready to go on has warned he is ready to launch a military offensive against syrian government forces if damascus doesn't stop its
2:05 am
attack reports now from now turkey's border with syria. turkish troops in have been asked to expand their military outposts their presence here is the result of an agreement between turkey russia and iran 2 years ago to establish safe zones but these turkish soldiers might soon get involved in the biggest military campaign of their deployment president up by. a military operation is imminent. on the subject of id lip turkey has made all preparations to carry out its own operational plans as with every military operation on the subject i'll say we could enter it lip suddenly one night. undeterred by the turkish warning the syrian army stepping up its offensive government warplanes struck the town of to many in the attacks have intensified over the last few days
2:06 am
earlier this week president bashar al assad said in a rare that his troops won't hold their campaign until it live forced into their hands talks between russia and turkey to diffuse tension have stalled each side is accusing the other of failing to implement the terms of the escalation in sure the guerrillas the key agreement on it was to separate the syrian armed opposition who cooperates with turkey from the terrorists a terrorist according to the agreements regarding adlib was not be involved in a cease fire regime russia considers hay at the head of an alliance of rebel groups in it live a terrorist organization and therefore excluded from the ceasefire agreement of 2018 turkey seems to want the syrian government troops to go back to the areas behind the demilitarized zone but for president said such zones are no longer relevant since his army has advanced further into it and taken over more territory
2:07 am
if there's no agreement by the end of this month the chances the ask. in the fighting about turned into an outright war between syria and turkey what's significant think we. went to his border with syria. so this is director of the center for middle east studies at the university of oklahoma he joins us now by skype from norman in oklahoma thank you so much for your time so richard says it's only a matter of time before an operation in office syria are we going to see direct confrontation between turkey and syria possibly even russia how do you see this playing out i don't believe so turkey may lash out it claimed to have killed close to 100 syrian troops in in response to syria's killings of 12 turks. so it could do something like that but turkey does not want to get its troops
2:08 am
involved in a syrian war turkey has no claim to this territory they're not going to want their people to die for land that they're going to have to give back to us sooner or later the entire international community has said that that syrian sovereignty is important that it's integrate and integrity is important so it's very difficult to see where this can end up but with the victory of the side troops and they're pushing hard to finish this battle as soon as they can. the german ambassador has said obviously the assad talks no working i think everyone agrees on that. but he believes it's time for the u.n. to step in what can the u.n. do and is there any real resistance to russia and to the syrian forces at this point. if there isn't an you know. this same question arose with the
2:09 am
american administration and we saw the american administration very divided jeffries the special envoy to syria was in ankara asking air to want to put more pressure on the syrian regime but at the same time as he was doing that o'brien at the head of the new n.s.a. was advising the president said what could we do we can wave a flag saying don't do it but ultimately it seems very clear the united states is not going to intervene and and neither are the europeans so i think russia and assad feel that there is turkish weakness on this issue that turkish opposition parties are pushing hard they're criticizing their don't want and saying well how did you can into this is stunning agreement where you said you were going to divide separate the. terrorist organizations from the moderate opposition something that's that's impossible for turkey to do and that's the that's the problem for turkey if
2:10 am
they cannot defend hiatt to having a sham which is universally recognized as a terrorist organization and the russians are using that weakness for all its worth right now well it's not designated a terrorist organization by the tags obviously they see it as their pot is on the ground for them it's the p.k. k. that there have been trying to obviously else from along their border how much could techie really change on the ground if it does go in given that the majority of the country is in assad's hands. you know obviously the turkish military is very powerful it could do a lot of damage to syria if it wants to go to war with assad. it's not clear that that's what turkey's interest is and i don't think air to want has avoided a war with syria of course is very worried about the russian air force which would of course defend syria and it has to worry about the kurdish cooperation against
2:11 am
the pe k.k. and us side in a sense is holding it out and saying we can cooperate on the p.k. k. issue the kurdish issue but you have to get out of it live and other syrian provinces and and that's the deal in a sense that assad has been presenting. heir to one way that's the deal that the russians have been presenting him with and if he goes to war for it live syria will undoubtedly use the kurdish issue against him really going to get your analysis there breaking things down the saucer landis the director of the center for middle east studies thank you form a new york mayor and billionaire michael bloomberg is preparing to confront a rival democrats in the u.s. presidential debate for the very 1st time in nevada the media mogul is a late entry to the race to take on donald trump an event as election he spent hundreds of millions of dollars on television ads 5 other candidates will join the
2:12 am
debates days before the state's caucus. bloomberg will be up against veteran senator bernie sanders who top's voices paul with 25 percent of registered democrats and independents saying they'll vote for him the 78 year old lost out to clinton in the 2016 nomination. to the 2nd place in the poll and 17 percent he's ahead of barack obama's former vice president joe biden who entered the race as a front runner but now has only managed the team percent. in iowa and finished a close 2nd in new hampshire is backed by 11 percent senator elizabeth warren of massachusetts will be fighting for her political survival she's currently on 9 percent and minnesota senator amy klobuchar rounds out the pack with 5 percent she managed 3rd place in the new hampshire primary for a strong debate performance. reynolds is live for us at los vegas or rob all eyes
2:13 am
on bloomberg 6 who is taking the stage for the very 1st time or should we expect. well you know kim up until now mayor bloomberg has appeared before the american people only in the form of these more or less warm and fuzzy television ads he's spent about $400000000.00 with an m. dollars on ads on television and on the internet and has therefore gotten this considerable level of support that you mentioned but tonight he will be on stage in the flesh for the 1st time for americans to watch for voters to make up their own does minds about him now the it is certain that the democratic candidates opposing bloomberg will be aiming their artillery at him and bloomberg himself has given them a lot of ammunition over the years as mayor he was in favor of a program called stop and frisk a controversial policing method which many people agree inordinately targeted young
2:14 am
men of color for police attention and attention and harassment there is overall the question of the appropriateness of a multibillionaire trying to buy his way into the democratic nomination you're sure to hear people like bernie sanders and elizabeth warren talk about that there are some misaki mystic comments made by bloomberg during his rise as a business mogul which have recently been researched elating and those haven't been very flattering and just in the past 24 hours some videotape emerged showing bloomberg recently making comments that are considered. complimentary to say the least and insulting to by some in the transgender community so it will be up to bloomberg to answer all these questions and the former mayor is known to have something of a 6th thin skin when he's put on the spot as mayor he would sometimes or respond
2:15 am
angrily in press conferences to questions from reporters that. i thought were inappropriate or impertinent so if one of the candidates like a miklos which are like people who judge like sanders or warren or biden can get under bloomberg skin and make him lose his cool that could have a major effect on the rise in candidacy of former mayor mike bloomberg jim will be an interesting one to watch official that's rob reynolds there live from the sake. well doug weed is a former united states presidential advisor he was white house special assistant under president george h.w. bush and he joins us now live from washington d.c. thank you few times to read what will you be looking out for into night's debate. i'd like to see a bernie sanders stand up he's got to send a very clear signal to the d.n.c. that if they try to rig this process they already have in my opinion in iowa he
2:16 am
can't let someone else say that for him he can expect some member of the press to pick up his cause or some person on his staff he has to open his mouth he can't go quietly in the dark like he did with hillary clinton he's got to speak up send a very clear warning to the d.n.c. if you mess with the process if this is unfair you'll pay and i expect michael bloomberg to do extremely well if he doesn't he shouldn't be president he if he humbles himself he's got all this money if he's hired comedic writers in hollywood good political writers good emotional writers motivational speakers put them all in a room ahead of knock heads he has one tremendous advantage he knows what the questions will be and you remember in 1984 when ronald reagan debated walter
2:17 am
mondale he knew that question was coming about age he answered it brilliantly bloomberg knows the questions are going to come on racism on sexism as the previous reporter mention and there's no excuse for him not to have very short funny or emotional. soundbites to put those questions to rest let's talk a little bit about joe biden as we said there he ended the rice as a frontrunner but now according to this latest royce's a source paul is now it's just the team to send i mean how important is this debate for him. this is the last hurrah for most if so he's got to somehow get through it make sure he knows he's in nevada he's got to not make a major blunder even the tiniest blunder would be the end of it for him it's going to be hard for him but if he can lay
2:18 am
a glove on bloomberg or on sanders then there's the possibility of. a brokered convention i don't expect that that sort of gets baked in it's like the stock market people anticipate what will happen and they see one of them is going to become the front runner and all the energy will move to them i watch elizabeth warren she has to be humiliated by bloomberg entrance into the party and the welcome he's received by the democrat national committee that has to hurt i can still hear her voice just a few days ago railing about billionaires taking over the party it was a bit disingenuous because billionaires supported the democrats 20 to one in 2016 nevertheless that was what that was what she talked about and now here's a billionaire right in her face it has to be a very hurtful experience for her to go out like this i wouldn't be surprised if she tries to take a couple of good shots said bloomberg well absolutely given her given her stance as
2:19 am
you said davy and as you would expect that from her can you talk to us and for our international audience about the upcoming nevada caucuses how important is this in this race. well these early caucuses and primaries are extremely important because of the attention they're given here for fun television now talking about it we're not going to be on television talking about alabama our oklahoma even those those will occur on super tuesday we're will be talking about a whole block of states but these early contests this one especially for the democrats because it represents more of the diversity of their. make up as a party and the support they get as a party so this is an extremely important and bernie sanders is pulling away and that has to be alarming to some of the establishment democrats because they may not

2:35 am
u.n. and all of these supporting agencies are faced with this almost impossible choice because the who these are saying you know give us more access give us more control or we will simply let these people die and it's a very harsh and awful approach but very much a useful tool for the who tease and as i said in the front the humanitarian war front they are winning this battle aid organizations are faced with this really impossible choice and the who these are are playing a very very tough game and in a sense calling the bluff of these organizations what are they going to do they have said that they would recalibrate indeed they might lower the amount of aid they're going to put into into yemen that who these are not pushed back on that they pushed back on that very strongly and said you know what we don't we don't really care. iraq's prime minister designate mohamed tawfik

a lowly has promised to investigate the killing of protesters if he wins a vote of confidence next week that says security forces used tear gas against protesters near tourist square in central baghdad anti-government protesters are angry over corruption unemployment imports of this is in iraq. the u.s. justice department has refused reports that attorney general william barr is considering resigning over president donald trump's tweets recently called on trump to stop tweeting about department of justice criminal cases but the president's comments particularly those about the trial and sentencing of former adviser raul just stone i've only had 10 supplied more than 2000 former department officials have now signed an open letter calling for barr to stand down medical hain has more details on the justice department dispute from washington d.c. . roger stone a very close confidant of the president he's going to be sentenced in about 24 hours time so the but is the president going to be able to not tweet well he hasn't
2:37 am
shown the ability to do that in his entire presidency but this is pretty classic washington if bill barr what it does is he's under intense pressure within the justice department and from outside the justice department there was a letter with a 2000 former d.o.j. and department of justice employees that said that he needed to step down there were members of congress has talked about started impeachment proceedings he does have republican backing but he took the unusual step of coming out and criticizing the president's tweet habits on television what was more unusual as we saw the president didn't fire back at him really he kept tweeting but the president facing any criticism his normal m.o. is to lash out at that person he didn't do that but he didn't stop either so now we see this selective leak to the washington post saying that barr might step away that could be a trigger for president trump he has said repeatedly that he thinks that this
2:38 am
attorney general's job is to protect him personally and politically not this is really to be the top law enforcement officer for the country because president trump actually said he's the top law enforcement per officer in the country which he's not by habit or tradition. but he has said that he needs somebody to protect him in that world bar has gone a long way to do that so why is that enough to get the president from tweeting well we'll probably find out pretty soon. followers of africa brazilian religion say that they're facing prejudice and even attacks as the evangelical christianity grows across the country and rio de janeiro the situation has become serious enough to bring the creation of a department to deal with for their just hate crimes down home and reports. this is a new bundle ceremony in real did you know you know it's just one of brazil's african influence religions but its followers and those of cunt don't play another african based faith have been struggling against harassment as evangelical

2:43 am
