A diplomatic editor james bates has more. After more than six years of bloodshed the Un Security Council has heard about so many atrocities in syria the latest attacks bombardment of civilians including the targeting of hospitals acts of escalation by the Syrian Government and its russian allies in whats supposed to be a deescalation zone british and french diplomats have described it as an acceptable and the palling yet the words of the uns own special envoy were markedly less harsh critic first time things april some areas today some allegedly hitting three million and theory than infrastructure including Health Facilities human Rights Groups say theres nothing allegedly about it i think there should always be talk about what happens after the conflict ends but its not ending right now what we saw last week as i said was direct hits on hospitals as the start of intensive but apartments are civilian areas so what that tells us is that this looks like a strategy to punish the civilian population and take out the hospitals first so that health care is impossible the un is trying to reconvene talks in geneva the man who many believe torpedoed previous rounds of negotiation by refusing to discuss political transition was in the Council Chamber Syrian Ambassador bashar al jeffrey is his countrys chief negotiator mr de mistura put pressure on him but his toughest words were reserved for the opposition no one is asking the opposition to thunderous dubbing the. But we are urging their belligerent to realize that it is most credible and effective when its down together and show the radian is to negotiate which with give and take the High Negotiations Committee position is that they are the only legitimate representative of the opposition and its definitely true that some of the other groups that call themselves opposition. Have in the past had close contacts with the assad regime in a famous quotation Winston Churchill once said history is written by the victors and it may just be thats whats now happening in syria the Russian Military help the Syrian Regime turn things around militarily and it seems there are some who now want to give them the are perhaps in the diplomacy to end the war james his era of the United Nations israel has hosted a lavish ceremony marking fifty years of jewish settlements in the occupied west bank and Golan Heights Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed that the settlements will never be reversed their illegal hunder International Law although thats disputed by israel sorry for such reports. It was branded a state a vent produced as a t. V. Special a celebration of fifty years since israel in his governments language liberated the west bank in the Golan Heights territories it is occupied ever since and a celebration of settlement construction in that land staged inside the illegal settlement block of goo shits yun its a project that israels Prime Minister for the second time in a month vowed would never be reversed last year your work you go to the issue of. Im saying this very clearly we will never operates settlements in the land of israel its not only a matter of connection to the homeland its not the way to make peace. For the palestinians its a vital part of any future deal and a fading hope for farmers like even him. He turns his crops in the fields around. But his familys land has steadily shrunk he says he lost more than a this year alone and struggles to access land now behind settlement walls. When we are prevented from entering our lands or to fix the harvest i prepared to lend it cost me around ten thousand dollars but they didnt allow me to plant the saplings. Ibrahims town of our harder is part of a wider picture nearly six hundred thousand Israeli Settlers live in the occupied west Bank Including East Jerusalem in a meeting with a Representative Council earlier on wednesday the Prime Minister reportedly promised another three thousand three hundred new units would be approved next month which would make more than seven thousand this year the residents of all how to talk not just of having lost their land but of continuing to lose it the israeli Prime Minister recently promised that not a single israeli settlement will ever be uprooted any time in the future the reality is they continue to expand. This and thats what makes this is densely historical commemoration a charged and divisive one Israel Supreme Court declined to send a representative to what its president called a political event israels pro settler right remains at the center of power its Prime Minister doubling down on his commitment to the settlement project sorry force it aljazeera in the occupied west bank south koreas marking its sixty ninth armed forces to show of military might some of its strategic weapons are being put on display including Ballistic Missiles these are live pictures of some of those displays tensions have been high on the Korean Peninsula for months as north korea ramps up tests of missiles and Nuclear Weapons Catherine Novak is joining us from seoul kathy understand the president has been speaking whats he had to say. Well of course this Armed Forces Day falls at a time of incredibly high tensions as you mentioned robin he says that the security crisis on the peninsula is more tense than ever but that requires South Koreans to be ever more patient of course in the lead up to this we heard the speeches at the United Nations from the president of the United States donald trump indeed and also the foreign minister of north korea so when you have the United States talking about fire and fury when you have north korea talking about the u. S. Allegedly declaring war on north korea president moon seems to strike a figure in the middle of all that trying to be a bit more of a balancing tone if you like saying that there must be this continued push for peace here on the Korean Peninsula weve often heard from him before that there will not be another war on the Korean Peninsula and his message today seemed to be that there must be a deterrence of north korea that north korea must be required to stop its provocations must be required to ultimately give up its Nuclear Weapons and that the ultimate goal is peace but that that is played today shows that south korea does indeed have the capability to Deter North Korea together with the alliance it has with the United States and what he says is that south korea has the power to overwhelm that of north korea. Given the context what is the significance of all forces do for sort of korea and the military hardware thats being displayed. Well this is a commemoration all of south korean troops it happens every year it marks the day that South Koreans broke through the border with north korea in one nine hundred fifty during the korean war but of course the timing this year is significant and its an opportunity for the south Korean Military to send messages to the north its taking place for the first time in a very important strategic naval base that is responsible for patrolling the western waters where there have been in the past conflicts with north korea along the sea border and it also as you mentioned earlier is an opportunity to display to the public for the first time some Strategic Missiles that south korea has at its disposal weve seen shows of force using those missiles in a recent days and weeks when north korea for example launched a missile over japan and south korea responded by launching a missile of its own into waters off the country but in that case the distance that it traveled was significant because it displayed to north korea that it could target the launch site from which north korea launched its missile so this is all as we talk about often messaging shows of force messages to the north that as i mentioned south korea says it has the power to overwhelm north korea it doesnt want to have to use that but its this message of deterrence that south korea together with the United States has the military might to take on north korea if necessary thanks very much indeed there have been brought in ugandas parliament for a second day.

I love it is military court is due to deliver its verdict in the trial of a controversial sunni cleric linked to a shootout with Government Troops in two thousand and thirteen that i thought was part of the spillover of the syrian war fighting between supporters. And lebanese soldiers led to dozens of deaths has been held in solitary confinement for the past two years hes likely to get the Death Penalty and reports from beirut. It was one of the earliest bloodiest spillovers into lebanon from the civil war in syria named after the town in southern lebanon where it happened the battle of signed on between the Lebanese Army and supporters of a seer lasted for two days described by the government as a sunni militant cleric a list here led the confrontations in which forty fighters loyal to him eighteen soldiers and two civilians were killed. It was relatively unknown before the syrian war started six years ago he rose to prominence quickly for his fiery speeches on t. V. Criticizing hezbollah ports support of syrian president Bashar Al Assad and praising the opposition including what was then the group known as judgment on this or a link to al qaida i think. Connection to the syrian its an extremist.

Repeated be delayed and human Rights Groups have questioned how some of the evidence was obtained despite the doubts others here is expected to be sentenced to death for his role in the battle but whether hes hanged is unclear under lebanese law any execution order must be approved by the president but Capital Punishment hasnt been used here since two thousand and four and although a year has very little obvious support across lebanon president michel lone likely doesnt have the sort of political backing he needs in order to carry out such a punishment.

President Donald Trumps pledge to send more american troops to Afghanistan Afghan Security Forces are struggling to defeat the taliban brazil is investigating the reported massacre of up to ten members of an isolated unassuming in tribe and its believed that the Indigenous People were killed by gold miners who later bragged about the attack aljazeera is team is the first to be given access to the area since it happened latin america editor alysia newman has part one of our exclusive two part special series from the valley. The jeopardy valley indigenous reserves. Eight million years of brazilian amazon the size of australia its home to the largest number of non contacted tribes in the world photographed only rarely from the air and its here that ten Indigenous People were reportedly massacred last month by illegal gold miners who these rivers. We flew four thousand kilometers from sao paulo to menow so to. And there by boat to. There we met leaders of the reserves indigenous tribes who agreed to take us there. This is the reserve along the giovanni river that borders per contacted in noncontact the tribes have lived here for centuries. On our seven hour journey up the river we learned that the reserve is being increasingly invaded by outsiders cattle farmers loggers hunters fisherman and miners the latest reported massacre on this reserve is said to have taken place when members of a noncontact and tribe men women and children were looking for turtle eggs by the river the alleged killers are said to have boasted that they cut up their bodies and threw them in the river making it difficult of not impossible for prosecutors to find the evidence oh we go to meet the chief of the mio luna tribe which was contacted about fifty years ago around fifty five hundred people belong to the reserves six contacted tribes but it within a minute before speaking any further chief tommy insists on putting on his ceremonial paint he says his father used to kill the white invaders but was persuaded by four ny state Indigenous Authority to move the tribe into the reserve for protection maybe. It is better but not good we have people dying from diseases we didnt have before i wish we could move back inside the forest where our ancestors lived the outsiders are sure killing people. He shows us how he is prepared to fight the outsiders he believes are again trying to take their land and resources incursions by poachers and man grabbers have soared since brazils president more than half of the budget of the authority in charge of protecting and policing the reserve. The reported massacre of the east or isolated ones as theyre called here are just one result says paloma rule we study. This they keep saying that what happened recently is not true but how can they say that they havent sent anyone to where the massacre happened they just overflew the area in a helicopter weeks later keep in mind oust the prosecutor for amazon a state concedes the government is leaving indigenous tribes especially the un contacted almost defenseless. If you dont place a barrier and effective policing of the area which is not happening now the danger of these tribes becoming extinct is huge. And investigation into the massacre is underway but theres no guarantee there wont be more as the pressure increases from outsiders who believe they too have a right to the land and resources until now reserved for these amazonian tribes you see in human on the job that he was brazil. On contacted tribes or communities of people who have not had any significant interaction with global civilization that are more than one hundred such groups around the world theyve developed ways of life that are entirely selfsufficient people from the our tribe in the brazilian amazon are able to build a house in just a few hours from the audience and leaves and tree trunks are considered highly endangered because of conflicts with the logging industry the sentinel es tribe and indias undermine islands continue to actively and violently reject contact their language is markedly different even from other languages on the undermines the tribes considered to be the most isolated people in the world well lets talk to Kristen Smith shes an m m three politest and an assistant professor at the university of texas in austin shes joining us on skype what motivates people to attack these tribes. I think that many times people want access to the land they want. The resources. And so for example in this case youre talking about coal miners miners who are trying to get access to the there is on the land there but sometimes you have the same problem. With loggers people access to the land and they want to be able to take that land for monetary gain why does there seem to be so little Government Protection for these tribes. I think that these times are very difficult and the fact of the matter is weve seen a number of moves in the country in order to try to strict indigenous rights and so for example an april of two thousand and seventy four thousand Indigenous People marched in brasilia brazils capital because they were protesting the governments scaled back of protection of the get Indigenous Lands the south anything of rules to be able to mowing and to and to farm with indigenous land and so it seems to me like everything is saying that this government is actually trying to push to to restrict indigenous land and to hold back on indigenous rights and thats quite unfortunate how difficult is it to police and protect a tribe which in some cases as weve heard simply doesnt want to have any contact with anybody else in the world. I think its extremely difficult but i think that things have been better in brazil and so for example at the beginning of this year because of the extreme budget cuts that the National Indian foundation had to suffer because of the governmental callbacks they had to set down five protection bases that were tasked with actually protecting isolated groups and so weve seen aid theyve also had that theyve also lost eighty seven employees that were tasked with protecting protecting isolated groups and so what were seeing right now with this increase in violence is is directly related to this reduction in state in state is they assistance and the reduction of the budget and so i think its difficult but i think that there are many things that can be put in place on the state side in order to be able to to remedy that and the fact the matter is that the current government in brazil is not doing that and is actually doing everything to go against that other than the indigenous tribes themselves who is that could put pressure on the governments to put those safeguards in place that youre talking about. Well i think that many many people in the government particularly ironically even the people who are associated with the national and National Indians our nation theyve been investing in this and making sure that these tribes get protected and so i think there are a number of people that have been impacted by these cutbacks that are actually fighting for the rights of these tribes but i also think that the four thousand people who marched in but as you are representative of all of these people that are crossed that are actually very much connected with the government or connected with what would that make them a government that is very much connected with society and have a social movement and have had a lot of different initiatives in order to protect indigenous rights and i think that those people are very much at the forefront of this of this fight for the attacks the protection of these particular groups and i also just think that those social justice advocates across brazil and theres so many i think that you know brazil is one of the capitals of Environmental Justice and of protection of ethnic minorities and so i think that there are a lot of people in the country who really want this to happen but presently there are so many people who are forgive me for interrupting you and i apologize because unfortunately the time is against us but thank you very much indeed really good to get your views on this thank you and in our second installment we take a closer look at how funding cuts by president michel timers administration have left dozens of uncontacted tribes defenseless against invaders gold miners ranchers and loggers anticorruption campaigners in the british capital have organized a tour designed to expose alleged Money Laundering by foreigners nieve barker has been on the latest trip focusing on nigerian money in london.
