8:08 am
city is victims there is no dignity in dying. should. and for syria's government there is no relenting every minute bombs are dropped. monitored groups say more than four hundred men women and children have been killed since sunday homes and hospitals obliterated leaving doctors to handle matters of life and there amid the ruins. we had to conduct one of the under the rubble we couldn't evacuate so we did it under the rubble. the syrian regime says rebel extremist groups who control eastern are using humans as shields un security council has been debating a thirty day ceasefire that would allow for a deliverance and the evacuation of casualties. these are not terrorists showing up
8:09 am
in these makeshift emergency rooms these are civilians they are ordinary people under attack by a barbaric assad regime that is bent on leaving eastern ghouta leveled to the ground with no regard for the four hundred thousand men women and children who live there. but it was met with resistance time russia blocking the resolution. but hope still locks within the beseech concrete canyons. by these young men it comes in the shape of a hole. nationally but surely they're digging their way to safety. the only escape from a torrent of problems must be an underground one. or for some analysis now let's bring in middle east analyst khaled waste he joins us here in the studio good morning thank you so much for being with us khaled the bombing campaign in eastern guta has claimed hundreds of lives this week alone what are syrian forces hoping to
8:10 am
achieve with this they're not just only syrian forces they are forces as forces with allied militia from you know i mean back militia shiite militia they could win and if you want to school in that order is you have the one side you have so in the forces fighting there is you. this is the theory and i know we have. we had on so they are facing a double from the from the seat in the g.m. and the it off and the iranian backed militia forces is trying to achieve population transfers i think not dissimilar to what you have seen in europe some time ago and cleansing the sun a population that is opposed to assad and that have been is actually in damascus you call it use them with all that it is other than administrative leave it is the mosque is kind of a suburb of damascus eastern ghouta you know the area well you've served as
8:11 am
a correspondent yourself in damascus now the syrian regime says there are thousands of opposition fighters in eastern go to some of them affiliated to al qaida and to islamic state what can you tell us about that well. that has been. both a. that as many as ten weeks the if there are those that are but is themselves a fourth of the state and expanded from eastern with all their might be and probably is no so off i thought it but you have to make a distinction between those who are often eat it with seed which is a very seedy and phenomenon and it's different than the nationalist you had just as you and. these are more local forces with different ideological bends including sometimes of which actually is a minority level with the government obviously perceives them as a fundamental existential threat. and they see the i think one purpose aboud let's call it it is she the seat of prime minister for example in the
8:12 am
figurehead has no idea what is what as us forces are doing and has no control of them so he said easy not the government in the sense that. this is a very complicated conflagration in syria the civil war there are many different factions involved even within the in the regime it's not really clear who's in charge sometimes people on the ground in eastern due to say that russian planes are involved in the bombings do you think that's the case this is something i'm sure that western intelligence and the u.s. or you would be in or judgment villages would know exactly the british for example have a big database based in cyprus and they would know exactly who is woman gives them with a godless brushes equipping and autonomy and maintaining deceit and planes and without the russian support you'd have the russian position you'd have no seat of their force flying i want to talk for a moment about the u.n. security council they've been meeting on this issue they're calling for
8:13 am
a thirty day ceasefire in syria russia is blocking it saying it's on realistic what's standing in the way of an agreement. look at asho might get the good with the us plea for time and the grief would have so-called ceasefire as long as the population but as long as these. the infamous green buses cody's from their families as soon they fight those assume this video and move them thousands of people we thought is away from their homeland and their homes kind of thank you so much for talking with us this morning a d.-w. news middle east analyst who wastes to australia now where the deputy prime minister barnaby joyce says he will resign he will also step back as leader of his party and move to the back benches or weeks of pressure over an extramarital affair with his former media secretary joyce a practicing catholic has been married for twenty four years and has campaigned on family values but he has been under sustained pressure to resign over an affair
8:14 am
with his former staff member who is now carrying his child choice and he finally decided to quit after a separate allegation of sexual harassment emerged on friday the choice is denying any wrongdoing here's a statement i've asked for the lot of the person who's made the allegation and i've asked football rod of defense to be referred to the police. but it's quite evident that you can't go to the dispatch box why she's like that surrounding. our candidate into any discussions about that. as you'll understand if it's going to be before the courts come before the courts but what what i will cite is that on monday morning at the party room i will step down as the leader of the national party and deputy prime minister of the strong. going deputy prime minister of australia barnaby joyce there our correspondent due to how man is covering this
8:15 am
story for us and joins us from city data what does this mean for the australian prime minister turnbull's one seat majority in parliament. hu hell i think that's a pretty big problem for him not only because he's not here in australia right now he's in washington meeting with mr trump when the bond to be resigned he might lose the men majority and he is losing definitely a very very important person in his government so he will have a lot of problems with the resentment of barnaby joyce who will officially resign on monday so malcolm turnbull facing more trouble there with his government now bottom joyce resisted calls for his resignation for weeks after his extramarital affair with his former p.r. consultant emerged why his he decided to give in now i can't answer this question but i can tell you barnaby joyce is
8:16 am
a very very colorful very unpredictable person he you never know what he's doing next day. it is easy some people even said and some media media even said he was bringing in the little bit of glamour to the parliament and counter a choice was always a problem joyce always do did a lot of things that were not expected to do and he crossed more than fifty times the floor in all them and that's really really strange even for australia so a stray in politics seems to be going to be going to lose someone at least at the very top i understand he's going to stay on the backbench and so he'll keep some color there in the parliament i guess but this isn't the first time that barnaby joyce has made the headlines is it it is not the first time as i already said he's totally unpredictable and you never know what he's going to do next day the people in australia if you do if you talk to them say we do not have a go government at the moment there is no really government it is totally chaos and
8:17 am
can run and a lot of people in australia expect that there will be new election very soon. tito when you look at australian politics given all the turmoil that it's seen in recent years how do you see malcolm turnbull's government surviving this crisis i don't see him surviving this crisis is one reason it is a problem like barnaby joyce the other reason is that tony abbott was prime minister before nikam. was coming up but tony abbott is still fighting mr two on will tony abbott is really a big problem for tom fatone book and some people expect that abbott will be prime minister in future again to thanks for talking with the state of his day to have on that talking to us from sydney.
