it's good to have you with us russia has called for a daily polls and airstrikes in syria's rebel held on klav of eastern. hour russian president vladimir putin says that the aim is to help civilians evacuate it comes after the year when germany and france appealed to putin to use his influence with the syrian regime to enforce a cease fire the international committee of the red cross in geneva switzerland welcome to the five hour daily cease fire which is due to take effect tomorrow tuesday. well matters now is that the people on it out. there feel we need it under dignified conditions of course and security for themselves and at the same time it is obvious that it is critical for aid to be let in we speak of four hundred thousand people you cannot take all of them out you have to allow humanitarian aid in and this is extremely urgent and on the ground medics in eastern who took are choosing russian backed forces are using chemical weapons against civilians russia has denied the allegation calling it fake news. these are the images that observers claim proof of a chlorine gas attack t

you have tensions between the us and russia on many different issues. sions between the us and iran on many different issues. i think this is also a proxy for another battle which is going on over syria, where iran has been helping president assad , iran has been helping president a55ad, with the russians hopping president assad and the americans opposing all of that. i think this is opposing all of that. i think this i5a opposing all of that. i think this is a story where america is becoming increasingly uncomfortable about iran's in several countries in that, again, fragility, it's a very fragile region. there are worries as to what it would mean. we have seen with iran in recent weeks and syria, there are tensions with israel, shipping weapons through syria and into lebanon. yet another country involved in this, iran and lebanon are involved in this issue and iran has always been involved in lebanon on one side or another. what we are seeing is tensions rising and they try to rein in iran, and the americans have been upset that russia is not helping w
