is the japanese coming to life from about a northeast time for syria russia docks at turkey day humanitarian truce at the u.n. security council this as a new wave of attacks to strike east and to judge a killing and injuring more civilians also coming up. another victim of last week's florida shooting is laid to rest president trump appears to give some ground on gun control laws but still insists the teaches to be armed. and the latest on the getting out of the mexican acting icon guide gusti a ban on spanish buys appear on the violent international film festival he's here for the screening of his latest movie museo inspired by the most famous heist in mexican history.

hello and welcome. the u.n. envoy for syria has renewed his own judgment calls for an immediate cease fire in eastern guta near the syrian capital damascus this a day after russia blocked a u.n. security council resolution calling for a thirty day humanitarian truce moscow's demanding seven amendments delaying the vote until later today meanwhile there's been more bombing by syrian forces today as warplanes shelled the heavily populated enclave human rights to say government shelling has killed more than four hundred people since sunday including many children with their even for those surrounded by day it is a crushing moment. for a father hawks his child one last time.

for syria's victims there is no dignity and die you. should. run for seven years 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 do one of the operations under the rubble. because we couldn't evacuate we had to do it under the rubble. the syrian regime says rebel extremist groups who control eastern are using human is as shields u.n. security council has been debating a thirty day ceasefire that will allow for a deliverance and the evacuation of casualties. these are not terrorists showing up

in these makeshift emergency rooms these are civilians they are ordinary people under attack by a barbaric assad regime that is bent on leaving. level to the ground with no regard for the four hundred thousand men women and children who live there but it was met with resistance russia blocking the resolution. over those days to achieve stabilisation painstaking work is necessary these parties need to sit down and negotiate the parameters of the ceasefire there is no other way. but hope still locks within these beseech concrete canyons. by the young men it comes in the shape of a whole. nationally but surely they're digging their way to safely. the only escape from a torrent of problems must be an underground one. is

a syrian doctor who worked in aleppo at a time when the syrian city was experiencing the kind of bombing that we're seeing now in eastern guta i asked him to give us a sense of what the civilians there must be going through now. so it's like. literally in a little time out like back in aleppo like homs. for years. same thing happened all the time with no different yeah. for five years so they are everything that. maybe america medications like a few unfortunate are just sort of the city and now this public. attacks happening for the past ten days it's a disaster humanitarian disaster. now look at the pictures that we are seeing out of civilians but the syrian regime say is that they are rebel groups based on day

using civilians as human shields what's your response to that. actually it's not making sense at all the. cheap propaganda always used those claims back there was three hundred thousand. people and the regime also claims that like. the fighters are using them as shells but it's not making sense at all because in aleppo back in aleppo there was well it's opened and people. wanted to stay in aleppo same thing happened for five years and. there was open and people want to stay in their hometowns. and not not not the fighters who are still rounding. the regime who is to run to get. preventing and they think or anyone to come in or out from. me in two thousand and sixteen when i was talking to

a liberal and yet a doctor was killed attack most of the it would seem and the washington. media pages claims that they managed to target and kill the tourist doctor so they consider it but you accept doctor is he as a tourist and say that he is treating tourists so it's not making sense at all it's a cheaper book and something even like and how many. talk about a fan's i know you work as a doctor in aleppo and what you're seeing coming out of new fake injuries of people and children what the specific challenges doctors face in dealing with such a situation. main challenge is that the doctors and hospitals are the main targets all the time during the best three days more than twenty one facility have been targeted. so it's the main target the main targets for the witch

him and the russian are the hospital facilities the bakeries and the schools so that's the most the other thing that. those people and those doctors know for sure that they are missed alone facing the killing machine so they have to think each time each entry over how many medication they can use before it's. because they are afraid thinking all the time that they might run away or feel for the. six or everything so that's. most chance that's very very situation based on that it's such a difficult situation thank you so much for finding time to talk to us hamza al-khateeb a seven doctor who worked in aleppo sharing his thoughts with us indeed obvious thank you very much let's all take a look at some other stories making news around the wind australia's deputy prime

minister bonamy joyce has announced his resignation joyce has been under sustained pressure to resign after revelations he had an affair with his foremost off man but now new allegations of sexual hyacinth against him have been mugged. nigerian authorities say the school girls who were unaccounted for funding a book around the attack on monday are still missing and this comes after earlier reports suggested that some of them had been rescued dozens of guns from the state run by iran boarding school in you'll be a state auto to have been abducted by extremists. in the u. s. now a new duties of last week's florida school shooting that left seventeen people dead the armed officer assigned to the school waited outside the building during the shooting and did not confront the killer this news comes as president donald trump is called in for tighter background checks and for some teaches to be armed.

this is a coffin of kris hicks and hailed a hero for trying to stop the shooter at the florida school he worked at a u.s. navy veteran he was given full military honors. as families lay their loved ones to rest more details about the fateful day our emerging surveillance footage has shown that the armed officer on duty scott peterson never went inside the school to confront the gunman radio at a point in time. and he took up a position where it looked like he could see the western most entry into the building and they were was. pietersen has now resigned and is under investigation. the latest shooting has led to a raging debate on gun control the national rifle association the n.r.a. offered its solution to ending gun violence stop bad guy with

a gun it takes a good guy with a guy school districts p.t.a. teachers unions local law enforcement moms and dads they all must come together to implement the very best strategy talk harden their schools including of fact they have trained armed security that was absolutely protect every innocent child in their country. advocates of further gun control are demanding action be taken. art. students protesting outside the white house this week said they were angry that school massacres have become commonplace and little has been done to stop them according to gun control advocates a group there have been eighteen school shootings since the beginning of the. i mean the public outcry president trump has endorsed

a higher minimum age for buying certain rifles and tighter background checks for purchasers. he also rates are rated his call for some teachers to carry guns your house in my opinion you want to have the ship is because these people are cowards they're not going to walk into a school if twenty percent of the teachers of god so maybe terrorists or maybe forty percent that what i'd recommend doing is the people that do care and we give that will bonus we give them a little bit of a bonus back in florida the family of slain teacher chris heaps and like thousands of others in the united states every year is coming to terms with the consequences of gun violence. turning now to the billion dollar journeys international film festival there was a premiere of there and it was a mexican movie museo which was shown there on thursday night and spawned by the most famous heist in the country's recent history the film is one of nineteen in

the running for the coveted golden bear. what's the best way to impress the room full of film critics. have mexican acting i can see the band now gatecrash a press conference that's how he cut short rehearsals for his new play to make an unexpected appearance to the head of the premier of his new film museum even the ballon i was directed couldn't help but be star struck. the films as compelling as the real crime it's based on it tells the story of two men's daring heist on a museum and the chaotic quest offense that priceless. the original work back in the eighty's left mexico stunned not least because it was carried out by a young amateur veterinary students the mystery about their motivation grips mexican's to this day for those old enough to remember it that is we're not. the first time i heard about that robbery was to. get these guys stole the.

five during christmas doing precisely why in museum day agassi a banal and co delivered a gripping and highly watchable thriller even if it is generous with the truth all the people that we interviewed close friends and relatives of them they all told contradictory stories so we decided to embrace those contradictions and say well. it's a myth in its own right so let's create our own myth and that's what we did there is a video of this crime looking for a true to life account of what happens will surely be disappointed the team behind this film put a huge dollop of creative license part of is just a fun heist flick hereafter. this isn't one to miss we'll find out on saturday whether the jury agrees and if these guys go home with another priceless hold the better nod is golden bad. you're watching the news coming to you live from but end

base and off more great course when you can share the crypto currency has had investors on a roller coaster ride but it's only the tip of the tech iceberg called block chain which could soon affect all of our lives. also coming up surely not the seychelles in a global first the island nation agrees to protect its waters in return for debt relief. this is your business update on how in the home free in berlin glad you could join us now it has not been a good week for bitcoin the crypto currency has struggled to stay over the ten thousand dollar malkan it's currently just shy of it still people who invested in the cryptocurrency year ago would now be seeing a return of seven hundred for said quite impressive to something some say is making

money out of thin air so how exactly does it work well let's take a look at the technology behind it. you can't pay for anything with real physical tokens like these bitcoin is a digital currency and its value is determined just like everything else by supply and demand and unlike with the dollar and the euro there are no central banks able to influence the course of the crypto currency value. bitcoins were first programmed ten years ago the developer was known only by a pseudonym that toshi nakamoto to this day the programmer behind the technology has never been identified the idea that everyone who installs the bitcoin software on their desktop or smartphone becomes part of the bitcoin network the digital ledger that supposedly makes a bit coin both independent and secure is what's known as block chain a block chain is a digital chain managed by many computers and a network which keep track of records and what are called blocks each block

contains information about a transaction the block is checked and verified by all the computers distributed throughout the network and contains security codes from previous blocks that practically eliminates the chances of manipulating or counterfeiting the currency. at the moment bitcoin is still on a wild roller coaster ride in the markets but one thing is fairly certain it won't fall victim to inflation the algorithm behind the digital technology won't allow the mining of more than twenty one million bitcoins and they'll all have been created by the year twenty one forty eight. i want to delve deeper now into the world of block chain and joining me here in the studio is shane a russian get the founder of block chain hub dot net and the director of the crypto economics institute at the vienna university of economics i mean great to have you with us for inviting me now i've heard that you think that block chain has the opportunity has the potential to rev

a lot revolutionize the wall to some extent explain to me how in which areas. we're now today talking a lot about bitcoin and cryptocurrency s. but it's really just the beginning and the first application of the next next generation internet some refer to it as the decentralized web or the web three which will redefine our data structures and bring more ownership of our data back to us and it allows us to have real peer to peer transactions without centralized institutions who own our data. bitcoin is money without banks and bank managers and it's like the first application just like email used to be the first application of the internet back in the ninety's a lot of people thought that e-mail is the internet in the early ninety's most people could not phantom what would come next continuing in that vein and can you see applications beyond the wall to finance yes there are many applications and

many startups actually working in this field already for example peer to peer energy trading we already have decentralized energy production through solar production on house roofs but if neighbor wants to treat their energy production with another neighbor they have to go through a centralized institution like a huge energy provider and thanks to block chain they could have peer to peer energy trading without centralized institutions like. large energy companies but we could also have rights sharing with were we could have apartment sharing without air b.n. b. and we could have social networks decentralized social networks we already have the first one steam it without a centralized party owning our data these are all very sunny outcomes like anything light and shade yes you see any potential for dark and areas we've blocked change what all day. well block change is a technology it's only a technology it's not the solution to all of mankind's problems i would like to

stress that it's a very powerful technology if we do it right we. and create a universal what i like to call freedom machine that enables us to have a peer to peer economy with less centralized institutions. but if we get it wrong we could also create a universal control machine so i think we have to look at the to privacy privacy versus transparency in a data driven world who owns our data and where do we store the data and are we in control of our digital trail and those will be very important questions especially in the light of decentralized technologies they are big questions definitely something that i would want to know where my data is being held for example who owns it how long until we're talking about blocked chain is a household name i mean would it just be for business people will i be using it then every day way. the block chain is operating system

that sits on top of the internet. i don't know we might not be talking about block chain we will be using a lot of applications that build on top of it and did the timeline depends on the industry really very much so there are applications that will be possible next year there are application that depend on network effects regulation technology being faster or more user friendly and i think within the next three to ten years we will see a lot coming up right now it's the early adopters who are using it right and very briefly we talk about it could navigate in for example bank systems where does that leave them financially and do you want to see it do that. i know that many banks actually a very happy to get out of the remittance business. banks will not vanish they will have to redefine themselves all right very complex tech will be really interesting to see where it goes we thank you very much for joining us sharmeen russian thanks

for sharing your and thank you. well air b.n. b. still can't turn a profit so it's changing the way it's doing business looking to attract those who want to splash the cash the short stay home rental platform will roll out a new section offering luxury accommodation and traditional hotels that the n.b.a.'s growth has slowed in recent years following a crackdown by authorities in many major cities who decided to restrict the service many using the service also complain the properties didn't match up to the pictures . air b.n. b. is shaking things up in the hope of raising its game it's inspectors to rate thousands of listed properties the move is a bid to reassure travelers who feel the country ting system doesn't reflect what they actually get despite its popularity remains unprofitable reports say it booked a seventy five million dollar loss last here. brian chesky is hoping to reverse the trend by launching into new segments where it was the platform is adding booking

categories such as group getaway and social state. funding hole that means that this summer gas will be all the search through the seven different categories and i think this will make it a little bit easier to find a place to stay but air b.n. b. still faces competition from the likes of expedia and hotels dot com long established hotel sites which now also list apartments and the platform has also been facing closer scrutiny from the authorities several regulators have restricted its a captive ities after local residents from all over the world complain that was boosting rents as owners took properties of the housing market and shifted them to short term rentals. the tiny island nation of the seychelles has announced details of the pioneering marine conservation plan as part of an agreement with its creditors for the first time the seychelles has named the water surrounding the

islands as a protective war to safeguarding the key industries of tourism and fishing at the same time receiving many. for many this indian ocean island is what paradise looks like the remote atal is home to the world's largest population of giant tortoises and is the spawning ground for a number of rare species. the seychelles government has now signed a bill restricting nearly all human activity in the waters around aldabra it's the result of a unique deal with its predecessors debt relief in exchange for protecting biodiversity . in a nutshell. the seychelles managed to. cons. of its debt through debt swap loan agreement facilitated by the nature conservancy and this debt restructuring. and mabel for

a certain. amount to be repaid into a trust fund for all to fund conservation related projects and activities the ambitious plan places thirty percent of the country's territorial waters under protection putting it way ahead of the global marine protected area targets of ten percent by twenty twenty four years to put this together but what happened was is over that time period the seychelles was a poster child of what you do to come out of a debt crisis they were running positive budget surpluses they successfully footed the currency they were used to do so their debt to g.d.p. ratio in the late two thousand the seychelles was one of the world's most indebted countries according to the world bank sovereign debt peaked at nearly one billion us dollars today the finance ministry says it stands at less than half of stasis. many fishermen accept that the long term effects of the marine special plan will

benefit the economy and their industry yet some fear the short term impact will be crippling to their livelihoods. today with the latest from the well old business see you in around forty five minutes. total. we.
