9:02 pm
welcome to the news our the un security council has passed a resolution to extend cross border, a deliveries into syria's last rebel held region. but only for 6 months. permission for shipments from turkey into northwestern, syria expired on monday. after russia vetoed an attempt to renew the mandate for a year. millions of people rely on the essential supplies that pass through the bible. how a crossing or diplomatic editor james base has more from the united nations. after days of uncertainty, the security council renewed permission for humanitarian aid to flow from turkey into syria. but for just 6 months, it was deeply controversial. the u. k. france and the u. s. abstained a resolution with a 12 month timeline, which is what the you and an 8 agencies requested was defeated on friday when russia used it's vito. the vote we took this morning as what happens when one council member takes the entire security council hostage with the lives of syrian
9:03 pm
men, women, and children hanging in the balance. the resolution that was finally passed was very similar to the one russia had itself proposed on friday. then 13 out of 15 council members had voted against it, norway and ireland introduced the new version. look, 1st of all, this was not a decision taken on the basis of a rush and raft to day. this was a cold ban holder, russia air ireland and to know raise a draft. now the words different. i think on the face of it, you may look at that and say that change, but you know that the devil is in the detail. and i think if you look at the checks, there are significant differences. what is different is a pause requiring the un secretary general antonio good terrorist to provide report on the 8 situation. by december, he gave me his reaction to the new resolution. we have been asking for the renewal of dr. cross board. the point that is, it is essential for, for the people in italy, it's
9:04 pm
a matter of life. and there are many of them that we have asked for a renewal of her whenever the 2nd 6 months. but i strongly hope that after the 6 months or it will be renewed, the head of the human rights group, amnesty international says the events of recent days show the work of the security saturday. all don't want a different system. the security council, as well as he's clearly demonstrating that she has upon the end of its past right now, something else need to come up with just a 6th month extension. members of the security council will have to re negotiate humanitarian aid in syria in january. that's a time of year when conditions are particularly tough for people in northern syria because of the harsh wintery weather. james bayes al jazeera of the united nations or saint casa worker has just returned from the turkey syria border. she says,
9:05 pm
engineers working there, believe the veto power of the security council remains a threat to the delivery of 8 extending. do you want to say an 8 celebrate northern syria for 6 more months, may is the pension for now, but it is not seen as a solution. international and local in jewels have always been a warning that planning and implementing such a white scale operation into northwest and syria, where 4500000 civilians reside records, longer than 6 months time. there are 4400000 civilians just in lip. and among all of them, 2400000 of them depend on international humanitarian 8. that's why they say 6 months time will not be a solution to the problems. as the children are facing a big risk of hunger and they are already undernourished. and the majority of the population are children and women,
9:06 pm
which is seen as the vulnerable segment of the society. some of the angels over the starts of showing they have reactions saying that the world is just watching what's going on at it. and some of them say that monetary actions should be taken away from it. then security council. as the brush of vito is always a threat for the civilians, an alternative be plan must be established and local, grassroots, and deals in site, syria must the empowers. let's reach maxim brycer, who's a board member of jamestown foundation and a former american diplomat. he's joining us from co welcome to al jazeera once again. so what is your reaction to this resolution that has now passed that allows cross border, a deliveries into syria and to the rebel held region for, for 6 months as opposed to a year? well, my 1st reaction is thank goodness, ah 2nd reaction is yes, russia won this round of diplomacy, not that it really matters who want to ross, but you know, russia instrumental eyes is. ready of the rest of the world's desire to do
9:07 pm
humanitarian good. and in this case, it got a 2nd bite and a 3rd bite at the apple by now only having a 6 month where you will. so that 6 months from now rush, you can try to extract something else from the international community when the rest of us are totally desperate in winter to get that such badly needed humanitarian aid to those people in northwest syria. but were there any and the major differences in the resolution that russia has put forward just a few days ago in which a lot of countries were against. and then there comes this one and it passed. i mean, we heard from our reporter james base at the un questioning this bill, matt saying, well there isn't that much difference in the resolution. so why, why did it pass now? yeah, there. yeah, i think james base got it. exactly right. russia was playing a game of chicken with the international community. it knew that he could force, through its draft, and the draft that it was wants basically,
9:08 pm
to make it more difficult for humanitarian assistance to get into northwest syria without the hell of a sovereignty. and so it passed now because the rest of the world realize we have to get his aide to this, the people who are suffering in our quest, syria so. so the rest of the world blinked, and that really meant you know, the united states, united kingdom, france on security council. it's a brutal tactic by russian. i experienced it when i was still with us government. every year we had to renew un peacekeeping operation in georgia. after which, or during which russia invaded and occupied, northwest, georgia, and russia prevented the provision of humanitarian assistance to georgians in areas that russia had invaded unoccupied as a negotiating tool. just like it's doing right now. let me just play devil's advocate for a moment. i mean, russia says that a wants to see the aids come through damascus, as you just said, also through the government and damascus and insist that you know this. and this
9:09 pm
roots violates syrian sovereignty. does russia not have a point? russia definitely has a point there. and what the difference is that the rest of us, at least on the security council, considered humanitarian aid an end in itself. something that should not be politicized, something that should not be used as a way to shape the politics on the ground. but having said that, i mean, going back to the georgia example, we much preferred meaning we being the security council permit representatives, the united states, france and you k, that, that assistance will have come from the georgian government to the separatist regions, rather than from in that case, russia, so yeah, russia, russia has appointment and also as a different philosophy is perfectly willing to instrumental eyes, the humanitarian suffering to secure its political. let me just ask you just to give us your thoughts on the divisions amongst the members of the security council and particularly, i mean there have always been divisions as we know, but particularly these days in the, in the wake of, of course the, the war at taking place in and you crate. i mean, how would you describe relations among secure as the gate council members?
9:10 pm
right now at present your poison. this is with regard to russia versus again, the permanent members from the west u. k. france, and united states. i, and it's interesting that by the way, china abstain on the resolution a couple days ago that, that russia veto school year and shine. of course, as a member of the t 5, china realizes that it's not doing itself any favors. if you to like russia tries to instrumental eyes, humanitarian assistance. so in relation to really bad in the security council, and, you know, as, as the french representative was saying, your package let the security council mechanism really is broken. it doesn't work. now, when you've got russia willing to veto anything that france the u. k. u. s. want and vice versa. yeah. all right, thank you so much. matthew price of has speaking to us from cook. how? thank you. plenty, morehead on the, i'll just renew our, including the ukraine, says it's the story of russian ammunition defiling the southern region. a person
9:11 pm
that's under moscow's control, long queues lost by late departures. london heathrow announces a daily on passenger number and force on eliminate champion move far, says he was traffic to the u. k. as a child details coming up with joe and ah, the 1st you can governing conservative party has unveiled the list of candidates and afraid to replace outgoing prime minister boars. johnson. 8 candidates are in the running and a process that lasts until september, september paul brennan is joining us live from london to talk about the phone to tell us who's, who's in the running and who isn't. well, we've got 8 candidates now left standing after elimination into the 1st round of the 1922 committee, which is a committee within the british conservative party,
9:12 pm
responsible for electing the new leader. basically set the ball quite high. normally, if you had 8 supporters within the party, you would get into the 1st round balance. instead they put it up to 20 supporters that were required, hoping that that would fit out the field somewhat. we had 11 potential candidates. it hasn't really filled out the field as much as perhaps the $922.00 committee would have hopes. so we've got 8 candidates who will go forward to tomorrow's 1st round balice, which will take place over 2 hours in the early afternoon on wednesday. the candidate surviving will that they're actually in engaging hustings in the houses of parliament right now. they've got 12 minutes each to speak to their conservative party colleagues and try to convince them to come over to their side in order to survive the 1st round ballot tomorrow, wednesday they will need 30 votes in order to progress to the 2nd stage. and the big names are still in, well, frankly, the front run, i clearly within the parliamentary parties, the former chancellor richie su neck,
9:13 pm
who has probably more than double the amount of support among his parliamentary colleagues than any of the other individual candidates. but another name that i think we need to watch out for is penny mordant. the conservative home website did a survey on tuesday of conservative members, and they're the ones who will get the postal balance. at the end of the day to select the leader and penny morgan's surprise, and they came out talk amongst conservative members. so yeah, between at the moment it looks between wishes to neck and penny more that but the other 6 would probably have will disagree with me. and so paul, what about the opposition parties efforts to table that no confidence vote into boys? johnson in his administration. where things stand with yes, i mean, this goes down to the disquiet that there is about the fact that boris johnson, despite being forced to resign because of his on truthfulness and his character, is still able to fit in number 10 downing street and continued to pull leave as
9:14 pm
a power for another 8 weeks until the new conservative leader, a new prime minister is selected at the start of september. so the labor party wanted to put in place a vote of no confidence. they submitted the motion, but the wording of the motion fell foul of the government whips and other people responsible for setting the business of the day in parliament. labor said they wanted a vote of no confidence in the government and effectively named checked boris johnson as well. because my wife said no, you can't do that, that should just be the government. and now there's a bit of a standoff because the government says will give you time. if you amend the wedding, the labor says they won't and therefore the government said they won't give time for that. the base to actually take place. it may be resolved, but it's both sides. look, i'm willing to step back down at this point in time. thank you. so much paul brown and reporting from london, the euro hit parity with the us dollar and trading on tuesday before seeing a slight rebound. it's the lowest evaluation of the currency since 2002. it's being
9:15 pm
driven by fear, as if a global recession. investors are anxious about a lack of growth across the euro zone. there are also concern supplies of russian gas might be cut because of the war in ukraine. natasha butler has more from paris for the year. i've been fooling since the beginning of the year, but the 1st time in 2 decades. the exchange rate between the euro and the dollars pretty much the same. and there are a number of reasons for that high inflation, which is being fueled by the war in ukraine, added to that of course, ongoing concerns in europe over energy supplies, as you're tries to win itself for fresh and gas. but he's also concerned about russia cutting its existing gas supplies. on top of that, the u. s. federal reserve typed up interest rates much faster than the european central bank. and all that is meant that the dollar is much stronger. it's a much safer bet of for investors, particularly a some analysts say that the euro could continue to fall in the coming weeks.
9:16 pm
kregger alone is the senior market analyst that foreign exchange broker alondo. he expects the dollar to strengthen the euro to weaken further in the coming months. the u. s. economy shown incredible resilience already and is expected to continue to do the same driven by a very strong labor market, throw in as well. the fact that the u. s. dollar is seen as more of a safe haven in times of turbulence and we're sentences certainly seen turbulence across financial markets. currently, on the, all of these factors are really supporting the green bar against many of the different currencies than you are. the downside pressure on the euro, with the gas flows annual certainty that's creating the 10 they scheduled, shut down a russian gas through no stream. warren and the potential for that. so last much longer is creating a huge cloud of uncertainty, stopping europe from topping up its reserves ahead of a potential potentially cold winter. all of these factors are driving this. your dollar pay down to pirating continued to push it way below one in the coming months
9:17 pm
. europe's been slower for 2 reasons. one is that it's economy is more fragile, you could argue, and i think we're certainly seeing signs of that already. people talking about a recession, the other is that inflation hasn't yet been as big a problem. you look at the headline number and sure you could say running a 4 times target around 8 percent are asked to be a massive. busy problem, but the underlying inflation data would show that a lot of this is energy imported inflation and a supply side driven inflation still that we're not seeing the, the, in the ingrained data that we are seeing in the u. s. in the u. k. for example, which is why the central bankers also being more reluctant. but ultimately it's just hard to ignore the fact even that in the your area currently there's something needed to be done. and extraordinary measures of stimulus were just simply not justified at this time. ukrainian forces say they destroyed a russian military, ammunition depot in the southern city of nova makeover and her son region. some near by residential buildings have also been damaged. keith has called on civilians
9:18 pm
to leave parts of the region as it plans to launch new operations to retake areas last to moscow. allen fisher reports from t this see the ukrainians is the destruction of an army steeple. it's thought us applied high mars rockets were launched that the site in the russian controlled region of cash song, the ukranian c, $52.00 russian soldiers were also killed. but the most go back to thirties claim it was a fertilizer store, and 7 civilians have died. i'll just eat a cannot independently confirm either claim pictures taken in the daylight. give some idea of the damage caused the u. s. has been rushing miss our systems to ukraine, believing they can help push back russian forces one u. s. sen, arge congress to say more and send them quickly when people understandably ask about our support for ukraine, our taxpayer funded aid to the tune of billions of dollars. they deserve to know that their heartburn taxpayer dollars have been spent wisely. in my view,
9:19 pm
that means many and on weapons like high mars, they're actually making a difference on the battlefield. the russians are believed to be in an operational pause in the east of the country, ready to push on and take the rest of the don bus region. the pause is to restock refueling re supply, but that becomes much more difficult if the ukrainians are able to target and successfully destroy ammunition dumps. some analysts say the rocket system could significantly delete russian progress. the ukrainian president says he's glad to have them. i want to thank the united states of america for it's deficient to provide ukraine with a new 400000000 dollar defense assistance package. additional home hours and other precision weapons allow us to take anti terrorist steps. they allow us to reduce russian strikes with their missiles on our people, you know, get them out. but the us believes the russians are also restocking tumbling to the
9:20 pm
iranians for you, a visa, or unmanned drones or in the information indicate that the iranian government is preparing to provide russia with up to several 100, u. a. b 's including weapons capable you avi's on an expedite expedited timeline. the u. s. insist moscow has failed in its mean strategic objectives in ukraine. but those in the east are bracing themselves for a major russian offensive. that could come in just stays. alan fisher al jazeera keith terry foreigners captured while fighting for ukraine will hear the result of their appeal against the death sentence within a month. last month, the russian back separatist court and donia found them guilty of taking action toward the quote, violent overthrow of power. ukraine and its allies say the men are prisoners of war and are entitled to protection under the geneva convention. us president joe biden arrives in the middle east on wednesday at a time of several regional and global challenges. first off, as israel,
9:21 pm
which recently normalize relations with several gulf countries and isn't talk to form an arab, is really middle military alliance against iran, or bite and faces calls for a tougher action on to her on him. because she asians have stole despite attempts to revive the 2015 nuclear deal. he'll also meet palestinian authority president with our boss who wants to revive the 2 state solution talks and bring back us financial supports biden. we'll be meeting other arab leaders at the gulf cooperation council summit on his last stop in saudi arabia. he had previously refused to deal with saudi crown prince. but i'd been sell man, after the murder of journalists, jama, was he? let's see, to me who he was, a director of global engagement at the american university of bay route. he's joining us from new york. welcome back to al jazeera army hoody. so what is the ultimate purpose of biden's trip to the middle east? it's not really clear, i don't think it's very clear the item has certainly not clear the almost every
9:22 pm
analyst has written about it and discussed the last week or so. the real dilemma is that vitamin is trying to continue with a process that 4 or 5 previous american president of use in the middle east, unsuccessfully in most cases. and that means to try to create a coalition of arab israeli, american, and some other western parties that work together to push back against some enemy, the enemy of the day today, the enemy of iran, before it used to be isis before that it used to be a radical iraq and syria before that, it was the soviet union before that it was now or you've also got russia and china into the mix as people to be pushed back. the, the american foreign policy that tries to use this method doesn't work because it doesn't focus on the fundamental interest and rights of the 460000000 arabs. and
9:23 pm
the predominantly our region. and the things that they're trying to do are largely not totally, but largely american policy is largely driven by what does look for israel, which barton himself, so that's why it's going to start regular, which look for donors to the american political parties and what's good for lobby's represent domestic and international law. right. and certainly, yeah, and are certainly is talk of, you were just mentioning that, fighting back against iran just a moment ago and, and for a while now there has been talk about creating this. what's been done does an arab nato, which includes iran, which includes israel, excuse me, do you expect to see any movement on that front? as a result of his trip in the middle east, they will talk about it, of course, and they'll make a big status. but what i've been saying is that the car, the street for times don't try to have tried to james baker tried to my on pay or
9:24 pm
try to every american, secondary or state almost early for the years as tried to make some kind of coalition like this but you can have a successful policy and they are a predominantly arab muslim region. their policy is large, defined by the interest of the israelis lobbies and they like the states and a few minority leaders in our countries don't have a lot of popular legitimacy just doesn't work and it's never worked. and it probably won't work if they tried to address the one big issue that matters to the vast majority of ordinary men and women across the region, including turkey and the wrong. and they are countries which is the right to the palestinians. so it's got a real genuine, was really piece which we all hope will happen. then you could get progress on regional cooperation and security and energy development. this is the real dilemma
9:25 pm
that traces the ability to accurately analyze the trans inside the middle east and to figure out how they are interested in the interest of the majority of people in them. at least how they can do that policy. they've never been able to do it, or he's also, i mean, he's written that opinion piece ahead of his trip. i'm sure that you've read it on a hoodie and one of the things that he discussed whether he wrote about in fact is that he will support the continued normalization between israel and arab countries . this of course, in the wake of the, the so called abraham corps, i mean, what is the political calculation for biden, behind promoting, normalizing ties with israel at this point the constellation is that israeli government like israeli people and the like. and my small groups of men who role are countries like it, but they this doesn't really, sir. certainly interest in american operations. they think, but what's happening in your own just last week?
9:26 pm
why should be, how many of maryland college will but then a poll, which the go regularly sure of the majority of people in the united states or not. that impressed policies that is focused on helping israel, mainly if it's supposed to be a regional policy that they want more even have the approaches. and i'm sure, democrats growing members of democrats are happy with the american polish. melissa, predominately response was seen as israeli interest. they'd rather see israeli arabs and the wrong and o living additional life and working closely with space. but the united states hasn't been able to do that. so they come up with a slightly fanciful arrangement and they keep trying them, they don't work. and they wonder why they don't work when a new administrator comes in. and that's the same thing over and over again. so you've got a last hour for just 2 years of foreign policy. us from the region shatter much
9:27 pm
the regional, 80 percent of the people are now for invulnerable, and that causes damage to political leaders in the united states as well. so it's really time for a significant reassessment and more serious, more effective, almost as the american american lead to the nuclear agreement where they are on the other countries with example of how they can do this. just one more for you and particularly on saudi arabia, because even before he's come to the region, biden has had to defend his decision to travel to saudi arabia. in that opinion piece i was mentioning a moment ago, he had to explain his visit to the country that he once called a pariah state, as you know. but you know how much of to what extent are those record oil prices over in the u. s. where you are a contributing factor to his visit, to saudi arabia machine. we are a factor,
9:28 pm
he'd like to get the sodium to pump 2000000 barrels of oil and they extract. and most people feel this is impossible to do a little reasons for technical reasons. and by the way, one of the major developments in the region which the highest absorb, because it doesn't understand how the region really works. one of the major developments is you have country like saudi arabia, a couple others will do whatever they feel is of their best interests. and not always will they do what united states wants or told them to do. this is new and the united states is not sure how to, how to deal with this. but again, on price situation, the energy situation is a short term issue. technical issue that's related to ukraine and other things with us will be involved. but it can be resolved on the long term basis, but it's not being resolved on long basis. so the american person trust real quick
9:29 pm
tricks and tends not to work and it will rebound against them, especially in the midterm elections in the us. all right, thank you so much. what i'm including for speaking was from new york. thank you, sir. lanka is a country in waiting. so within the next 24 hours crew shore is its ongoing political crisis. presidents got payroll parks. i says he will resign on wednesday . but speculation is rife that he and members of his family are trying to flee the country. but as michelle fernandez reports, ordinary citizens are focusing on merely surviving each day. mohammed alias is struggling, his bakery delivery business has taken multiple heads during tre lunk has economic crisis. he battles to find fuel and carries a small amount around with him for emergencies like this. when his vegas stops, mid route, skyrocketing prices have made his bread and bonds more expensive,

9:42 pm
operate certain flight. what's gonna happen is fine emitting the number of passengers. the airport thinks that it's baggage systems and its ability to cope will, will be much better if it cuts against it's absolutely in the face of that surgeon market demand. so it's going to be very unpopular, but he try monitors every flight. i know exactly which craft is coming in, and so he try and of course they also charge per passenger alive. and so what they've done is written to airlines and, and told, told them that they must not oper right, various flights. generally, going to wait on that, have more than one, fly, the die to particular destinations and nice place on the operate, one to flight and try to limit it that way. at one level, from the airline side, it's a gift because of course what they have to do,
9:43 pm
what they are allowed to help is if they, if the number 6, they're offering a limit, they can improve the price. it's like an increase. the prices is a good solution. it's an interim solution. it's better than the chaos we're currently seeing and better than the holidays that are being roll them. so it's very much an interim solution when it's clear that we need to get back to normal operations and stuff so that no one was ready for his massive search when, when the sanctions will over the sorry when the, when the restrictions in the, and the health measures will lift it, and so it's, it's better than nothing that's a terrible, lots of it. it's better than nothing. human rights, walt says technology used for remote learning. during the coven, 1900 pound demick, could have been used to gather private information about children. the rights groups as 49 government approved education technology, which could breach the privacy of children, the products harvested information about the child, their location,
9:44 pm
their families and friends, as well as what they in the classroom. a $145.00 products had the technology to monitor, including outside school hours. let's bring in, hey john han, she's a research or an advocate in the children's rights division at human rights was she joining us from san francisco? welcome to al jazeera. so just tell us a little bit more about this report that your organization has put out and, and how this technology was actually used. of course, and at the beginning of the kobe 19th hendo make, i think we all remember when schools close so that kids could continue to learn, learn safely. and so governments rush to connect kids to online classrooms in the form of education technology or otherwise, ed tech. so these are apps and websites that were used to help children learn. so we started looking into this a year later to see how governments were learning from the 1st year of the pacific
9:45 pm
to figure out how they were recommending these products for kids to use and whether they were safe. and so what we found was out of a $163.00 ed tech products that we investigated. and we investigated about $300.00 companies around the globe. we found that an overwhelming majority were collecting children's information in ways that they shouldn't or had nothing to do with their education. so to break that down just a little bit, what that means is these data, these and at tech products were surveilling, children gathering information as to who these children were, where they were living, what they were doing on the internet. and even things like the device that their families could afford for them to use. and very few governments checked whether the products that they were recommending were safe for children to use at all. and,
9:46 pm
and again, just give an explanation or an illustration of what that means. some of the apps we looked at could collect precise location data. and what that means is through a child's mobile phones, they were able to figure out a tiled exact location to about 5 meters. and what that really means is, remember, during the early days of the pandemic, everyone was at home, especially children. so that meant that these apps were suddenly able to figure out where children's bedrooms were, where their living rooms were essentially where children were spending the most amount of time. at least when has been done without the knowledge of, for the family or the consent of the family. exactly. his parents, even teachers were in the dark because neither government nor companies told them that this was going on. right. so, so what are you hoping that this report is going to achieve?
9:47 pm
i think the single biggest thing that we should be calling for is for all governments to pass modern child data protection laws. and really, these are laws that would hold governments and companies accountable to protecting kids online. i mean, how concerning is all of this data surveillance practices on children? i think the important thing to remember is that this was happening to children in their online classrooms. so children had no alternative either they use the tech product that their school told them to use for they were forced to drop out of school and give up on learning altogether. unlike when it comes to adults looking browsing on the internet, she had no other choice like to go to schools and to do so, they had to use these products that were surveilling them. okay, we'll leave it there. thank you so much for speaking to us from san francisco. we really appreciate your time. thank you. thank you. and also,
