Welcome to the aljazeera news hour live from my headquarters and me as a peron im coming up in the next sixty minutes. At least fifty people are killed and then russian jets bombed rebel held areas and syria. Yemen receives its first aid supplies and. Blockade. Counting is underway and on douras for the president ial election we are live at the capital. Protests continuing the government and. Trying to. At least fifty people have been killed in just twenty four hours and government and russian air strikes in syria twenty three people were killed in a government airstrike in the rebel held damascus suburb of east and the area has been on the governments. Three hundred fifty thousand people they are in desperate need of aid meanwhile thirty seven people were killed in russia there strikes on a gathering of displaced people and their province a Monitoring Group says fifteen children were among the victims well solomon has just returned from syria to gaza just across the border in turkey. Despite a cease fire agreement between iran turkey and russia the violence in syria does not seem to be coming to an end the airstrikes in the hooter district of damascus targeted three different residential areas according to activists on the ground the number of casualties is on the rise theyre saying that theyre not able to provide help to all of the victims because they have very limited supplies inside. And a number of hospitals have also been targeted in the last few months they say that because of this siege and the Assad Government has not been allowing any medical aid or medical supplies to come in and theyre not able to treat patients as they would in a normal situation this is not the only place where strikes have taken place there also russians frights which door in between the resort and this is an area where isis fighters have fled to but its not just isis fighters whove fled into these areas its also civilians according to activists on the ground most of the People Killed here there are four have been civilians so its another day of violence that weve seen in syria activists had been called telling us from the ground that in the last ten days or so more than one hundred people have been killed in just the Eastern District which is besieged by Syrian Forces and they say they dont see the violence coming to an end any time soon now and a tablet as a Syrian Affairs analyst and senior fellow at the Washington Institute for near east policy i asked him why were seeing strikes on a single. Its just designed i think to run down the capital of the. Negotiation candles or to speak of the opposition and around them around but it doesnt need getting an agreement any easier and you also mentioned and you know weve seen the russian strikes and that has all entrusting because weve had statements from the russian government along with the u. S. Government these joint statements for which. Now saying that there is no military solution to the war and syria and yet were seeing these strikes so its very difficult to to take those statements seriously i mean what are russia doing here well the russians and iranians in the regime are using military force to shape the diplomatic process and thats. You know a very good tactic in terms of getting results in many many hours theyre willing to escalate or able to do so the problem of the United States and there are unwilling to escalate and thats the reason why russia and the regime are doing this and im afraid you know there was wasnt there some hope that these deescalation zones the joint russia taking iran negotiations were having you know at least some success at reducing the violence but if we see that agreement violated at the oppositions expands then what success can these. Negotiations have any other than a moment and then the Syrian Government well war or addresses. Military victory diplomatic victory these parallel processes in sochi an astronaut and so on and a lot of fear that thats whats happening and lets wait and see how that comes out of the russians day two tracks you need to track and there are. Lets move on to other news now saudi arabia has begun to lift its blockade on yemen after three weeks medical supplies are flying and the first ship carrying food has now been unloaded but with yemen facing a famine and u. N. Aid workers say much more is needed and quickly pizza shop reports. The saudis have promised to lift the blockade of the yemen port of her died four days ago that it was only on sunday that the first desperately needed Food Supplies were unloaded. Now the ship has reached the port of how they entered carrying flour and relief material swaying five thousand five hundred tons this is not enough for the many people needs but we hope this is a good sign to open the port of the data and lift the siege and all your many provinces. Unicef says a child dies every ten minutes from preventable diseases that would equate to more than five hundred children dead in those last four days alone five thousand tons of flowers unloaded on saturday but its just a trickle too little and far far too late for the most vulnerable today it is fair to say that yemen. Is one of the worst places on earth to be a child more than eleven million. Yemeni children are to be in acute need of humanitarian assistance thats almost every single yemeni boy and girl unicef says the war in yemen is sadly a war on children close to five thousand children have been killed or seriously injured in the last two and a half years and it welcomes the opening of the airport at santa it allowed us to send in a first humanitarian convoy one point nine million doses of vaccines vaccines that are urgently needed to vaccinate six hundred thousand children across yemen since the Saudi Led Coalition began fighting the who tees in two thousand and fifteen the countrys basic infrastructure no longer exists. The blockade began on november sixth after hutu rebels fired a Ballistic Missile into saudi arabia the saudi military said the blockade was imposed to stop weapons being smuggled into yemen but the un is warning that commercial imports of food and fuel must also resume the World Food Program says continuing to choke off those supplies could have a disastrous effect on fourteen Million People living in the remote regions of northern yemen completely unable to cope for themselves peter shop al jazeera. Well lets get more on this now with rebecca barber humanitarian advocacy manager at oxfam a stranger she is joining us live from melbourne very good to have you with us on aljazeera so as weve been reporting the blockade has been partially lifted just how much of a difference do you think this is going to make to the just terrible situation in yemen.

Yemen is a country in which more than twenty Million People depend on who manage terry energy ascends and typically imports eighty to ninety percent huel and medical supply and so these classes that the needs of the in many people cannot be met and less there is are full and yemen and airports and seaports and land and people what book by a humanitarian connection. And its instance one of the key issues at the moment is that thats an extremely to be sure any judge deal across the country hill is not counted as a humanitarian its currently nothing. And all very well or. Many of those applies to the fourteen as humanitarian assistance but it does not feel to transport that assistance around the country then its not much so that its a desperate desperate need. To be good in because it will be exhausted and what is it going to take to get fuel into the country to get the blockade completely lifted i know that your organization have said that the International Community must break it silence and use all possible means to lift the blockade completely you know what means does it have at its disposable like now. Well we expand our love being really high i mean in all the countries that get the capital in country in country in yemen but also in not capital the in a stay of it in the same u. K. In the u. S. To lobby i got ments to put pressure on saudi arabia. To block a possible lifting the humanitarian system as a Welcome Development or we can do is can continue to call attention to.

K. A negotiator breaks it which has huge implications for the Irish Republic the opposition is demanding the resignation of deputy Prime MinisterFrancis Fitzgerald who is accused of failing to protect a Police Officer who was smeared and victimized after revealing systemic corruption well Prime Minister whos standing by his embattled deputy now faces the prospect of a no confidence vote next week by the second Largest Party phina foyle it could pull down his minority government and lead to snap elections just as the u. K. And ireland discuss what will happen with the british controlled Northern Ireland when russian leaves the e. U. Well dog owners director of research at dublin city universitys school of law and government and he explained the effect the political standoff in our land could have won bracks it. I think what it does is it creates further instability further uncertainty we dont have if we dont have to go to dr to compliment the situation we dont have a government belfast and of course we have a chaotic and divided government is long time so from the user perspective giving with bribes its meeting with the irish issue which is of course a very important article because issues it need. From britains perspective its very difficult to know who to negotiate and to the people they negotiate with have a corollary to make agreements which will probably stand for decades and this is why i think its a critical time and its a critical challenge to keep this government together because the e. U. Of course has a summit coming up a critical summit to decide whether its a google station through face want face to the uk the issue of the border which separates Northern Ireland and the republic barbizon interpret part of those people stations and if theres no Irish Government in place then of course you get coverage of the are from disappeared into these issues well as dublin wrestles an uncertainty of its government this political statement a stalemate a Northern Ireland a part of the island under british control powers being shared there between privatise unionists and Irish Republicans they want the island to be one nation but the governing administration in Northern Ireland has been debt law for almost a year by disagreements with the little status of the Irish Language central to the divisions theyve barker explains from belfast. In the heart of the. Its a Cultural Center in west belfast i was speakers discuss the issues of the day many want the Irish Language to have official status in the courts the Regional Parliament to norm road signs like in scotland and welsh in wales very few people speak their language fluently here around eleven percent claim to have some knowledge of irish a figure that steadily growing among republicans who favor a United Ireland over british rule ira speakers.

And the Irish Republican sheehan fame party. Pulled out in january complaining it wasnt being treated as an equal Party Central to their demand is an Irish Language act many republicans see the language as an expression of their political identity they say its a matter of civil rights. Which is my heart and soul but it was a core of my skin and you could easily identify me as being of a different color and the d. P. Worse than we cant give it equal rights this guy i think clear. For us this is discrimination but theres no appetite for compromise among hard line unionists many see an Irish Language as a means of eroding and eventually ending british sovereignty the demands put for political demands which i would say are vast open and the language of civil rights and i think if you needed to put forward is not a proposal for an Irish Language language active. A political proposal to get. The disputes literally edged on the streets of belfast this graffiti calls for an Irish Language act the republican largely catholic west belfast the local councils have allowed residents to have their road signs in english and irish cross over to east belfast in union is appropriate is areas exclusively english if the deadlock doesnt end by december the British Government may choose to take back direct control of the region on doing years of political progress republicans say the Irish Language is an expression of identity for many unionists its a weapon in a cultural war.
