ambassador you and has also said that medicines are hiding weaponry insights on the talks is also. this. the good thing of sellers was able to says are an impression that older the seniors. is comprised of hospitals alone. into the syrian army is fighting against these hospitals. this is a well known tactic in information war fact. the golden about got it is clear that voices all the casing and ministry facilities and medical and educational institutions. which is you this is an inconvenient truth that is unfortunately not being disseminated little bit of the persian moving if you choose. opponents into submission. that is wife separate to small deliveries aid the regime has not allowed any medical convoys arere deliveries of food into eastern ghouta since november. and a bombing attacks have been relentless. the regime wants to keep bombing and gassing these four hundred thousand peopl. any is not regime is counting on russia to make sure the security council is unable to stop their

suffering. and from that debate at the security council that's because like to the you and bring in our correspondent that tell you hoffman. at daniel was the latest what hearing. russian on bass is saying so far no agreements on a seesaw. absolutely and it's probably means that the the vote in this draft resolution at four and a humanitarian cease fire will not take place at this is what we've heard. from the solution after right after the meeting he stated both could happen to moral they was very likely that. the security council members would reconvene this afternoon and as though that that resolution the russian ambassador said there is no agreement and he also said he would circulate as a new amendments to the tax. and added stand it is not satisfying to moscow even though previous in an as had been. taken and intercepted by the security council members specifically on. the inclusion of of terrorist groups that are mansion and mainly in the resolution

again switch the fights. would be able to continue even with humanitarian cease fire now you had a three for an amorous as it is united states the united kingdom and france are pushing for a clean though they say. the situation in eastern ghouta enough way for for more time the french ambassador to the land for such a thing as a date international community needs to act and act. quickly and singles are like the united states. not going to get this out today. absolutely and that they

were pretty confident before the meeting started at a fraction after. again said that he believes it taxes and very solid and as i mentioned as either a concession is an accident hobby needed the the resolution as it will be an english years for more than two weeks so it is very wrong. a very long round of negotiations and. these countries where will be hopeful for agreement at you happen to day at russia is still not there and they still have to to meet them on as their at request or demand. and that. doesn't seem to be the case obviously as some frustration that i do we cannot over and we should hear from for his sake and and i the end of the week. daniel thank you very much even hearing that from time to hoffman our correspondent

at the u. and in new york. well eastern ghouta has been besieged and subject to regular government bombardments is merely the beginning of the conflict in syria boxes laces spike in violence being among the wants the damascus of of his seen since the beginning of the war seven years ago. from those who his father ge last hug following an ad right. hundreds of flooding eastern ghouta since sunday in some of the facese* in n the seseven yearars civil war. rules deceased humans and animals alike. and missiles keep falling on us. spent. some four hundred thousand people have been on the seats since twenty thirteen is here is lost rebel stronghold. this address as regime and its a ally russia andnd intensified their campaign since sunday. thosose now lononger have te capacity to treat the injured. now number includes the two thousand and realizing. if an ambulance is driving in the street t the regime

follows a meeting he held the families of some of those killed in the park in school shooting in florida. we'll talk about this shift in language from the us president as bring in our washington correspondent set crowd that. at. trump has sold out tightening gun laws is the suggestion that this might be followed up by actual changes to the legislation. yeah that would be some changes the the white house in fact has. quite a lot of leeway here the one the white house suggests might be followed by the u. s. congrgress but was still trying to find out at this point what exactly. the white house will be suggestingng it is not clear from what we've heard from the us president over the last day or so where exactly he stands h he has contradicted himself some of his tweets. say one thing what he then says in public is another his a what we know at this point he does want to increase the age at which a semi automatic rifle can be sold in the united states. from eighteen to

twenty one strangegely enouh you can buy a pistol at the age of twenty one and a semi automatic rifle at the age of eighteen at this pointnt. so maybe he would be able to get that change through if indeed the white house really wants this to happen the nra the national rifle association by the way has already come out and says it's against. this proposed change but there is more from the u. s. present he also says he wants stricter background checks so there are many types of background checks you can do so that somebody. who might have been convicted in a possible crime was somebody with mental health issues con by a gun the white house says it wants to concentrate on the mental health side of these background checks and then there is? well you just mentioned arming teachers potentially in schools the us president not very clear today where exactly he says that he has been suggesting now yesterday today as well that he might be willing. to susupport arming teachers en

canteens style often. ex soldiers in schools in the future that is a long long way away from what those students in florida have been calling for that's walls a total ban on assault style rifles there is nothing on that front from the white house. you mentioned say the nra has come out fighting does this potential change language from the u. s. present put. put the nra on a potential collision course with from a man who of course they found it a very handsomely. yeah they might be a clash that with some point saidd because t the white house's come out today this is very rare to hear from. any republican at the white house is said that it might not agree at all times with the e d all righght. this is a surprising thing to hear because usually republicans toe the line when it comes to the national rifle association i was at the conservative gathering sepak earlier today where the head of the and all right way to look yeah spoke in public. the first time we've heard from a member of the nra a high

ranking member since the shooting in florida he again has said well you heard from him in the past that the only way to stop a bad person with a gun. would be to arm good people with guns in other words he is very much on board and the nra has always been very much on board with arming teachers putting more guns. in schools bus the nra is also said it is against that proposal that the white house seems to be working on increasing. the age at which someone can buy a semi automatic rifle in the united states what the nra tends to do after mass shooting days in school a church or somewhere else. is they go completely silent this time around though this conversation is continuing students who survived the shooting in florida and the us president and to a lesser degree members of congress democrats certainly. want to talk about gun laws and what could possibly be changed in the united states in the future again it would be anything near what those

survivors from the florida shooting are currently requesting. thank you very much us in a crowded that talking to us from washington. design on the program for the latest in a series of reports from pullen's. today was traveling to the city of gdansk in the north of the country. downs was at the heart of the changes that post about the full of communism today though opposes found the people on the sound it for that era and disappointed post and seems to be falling back. into authoritarian rule rooted free and cyril planned have this reports. the afternoon in down. the days when the full city brought down communism in poland. it was three decades ago. stanislaus remembers the time he joined the strikes led by lester leste. the shipyard electrician who became the country's first democratically elected president medical everyone and hanks was professionalism. when the tourists came we sure knew
