Here this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up. President of china tells his soldiers to be combat ready at a grand military parade. President tromp blasts a former aide for his comments on his campaigns russia links and a much anticipated book. That may have escaped the fighting but the new reality is not much better place syrians adore a freezing winter and the open. Our government rallies are being held in iran for a second day it follows five nights of antigovernment protests a senior military commander has declared and to the protest movement in which twenty two people were killed franz envoy to the you it is accusing us of stirring violence in the country. Joins us live from the iranian capital tehran says and what do we know about whats planned for today or how these protests are supposed to play out today. Well we weve seen a few small and short lived antigovernment rallies overnight and a few cities around the country but what really is at play today are the progovernment pro establishment demonstrations and marches being held in major metropolitan cities across iran this really is an effort by the government to sort of book and this whole episode and illustrates not only to its own domestic audience here but also to anyone watching from outside that the government doesnt just support the establishment doesnt joy support and that there are tens of thousands of people willing to rally on behalf of the government now these people who are coming out onto the streets that doesnt necessarily mean that theyre happy with president rouhani aS Administration but what they want to send a message is the message they want to send is that they may want reform or change but they want to do that through stability and over time and so this is an effort by these activists or these demonstrators progovernment demonstrators to try and illustrate the point that violence on the street is not the way forward for change in iran so youre saying that the government and i wanted to book and. Push back against the government that is that sentiment really gone or where is it going. I mean that is exactly the right question to ask and thats exactly what everyone here is asking now as well while the protesters may have stopped their antigovernment demonstrations or the numbers may have gone down the issues that began these protests havent gone away and thats really Economic Issues a lot of this was sparked by the governments proposal of increasing things like the price of gas and increasing things like lowering subsidies on gas the price of food has been going up in iran consistently and so as the cost of living continues to rise so this public discontent and thats something that the government is going to have to grapple with in coming weeks they definitely recognize that and no doubt those are the questions the government is asking of itself now in the days since the violent demonstrations and so Going Forward while they may be pushing for stability there is no doubt that the government will be reconsidering a lot of the price increases initially the president S Administration had proposed a fifty percent increase on the price of gas which would have a knock on effect to increasing prices for virtually everything but now there are reports that parliament having rejected that initial offer there is consideration of lowering that price increase to twenty maybe ten percent Going Forward next year but certainly the Economic Issues that remain on unaddressed will continue to be a thorn in the side of president rouhani said ministration and thats how they live for us in tehran zain thank you think documents of a forthcoming book on the Trump Administration are causing a political storm in the u. S.

But after hearing the u. S. May decide to cut more than three hundred Million Dollars of annual aid to the United Nations relief and works agency for Palestinian Refugees or as it is known she now worries a bad situation may worsen. Its getting more difficult its getting more complicated and things arent getting solved everything is becoming more expensive gotten laws available to the poor is not nowadays on wednesday residents of the occupied west bank woke up to the news that u. S. President donald trump may halt aid payments worth hundreds of millions of dollars to palestinians if theyre no longer willing to talk peace sixty year old wooden a fool like so many other Palestinian Refugees here relies on this under a well supported clinic in a refugee camp a Health Center that depends on foreign aid.

Israeli politicians have taken their first step to allowing the Death Penalty for what they call terrorists draft law in the knesset has passed that would restrict shows on Capital Punishment the law to apply to people convicted of murder and sentence classified as a terrorist attack currently the Death Penalty can only be used if a panel of three military judges passes the sentence unanimously but the new legislation would see a death sentence handed down with only two of the three judges approval the bill still requires three more readings before it becomes law but let me push you should.

They set up tents wherever they can on the side of roads in open fields syrians are still on the move trying to find a safe place many have already been displaced more than once these people are from the northern hama countryside and from the villages along the neighboring provincial borders of lip areas that have become battlegrounds. We fled the bombardment and the a strikes we cango back because our house was hit and it is now destroyed they are targeting civilians and their homes not the rebels. The recent wave of displacement coincides with Winter Weather setting in making life even more difficult near freezing temperatures are common here and many fear they may have to live out in the open for a long time they have nothing to return to and some of their villages have been recaptured by Government Forces for many going back is not an option. We had to leave the area because of airstrikes we tried to return to the village but it was talkative again we hope that the regime doesnt control the area the United Nations says up to sixty thousand people have been displaced in recent weeks it also says aid is scarce there are already an estimated two hundred thousand displaced people and people who fled from areas across the country retaken by Government Forces.

Columbia. The delivery of Health Services to regions. Traveled with a group of doctors that is enlisted in the Navy Reserves to see the work. Volunteer doctors setting sail their mission is to win support from an Indigenous Community longer afflicted by colombias conflict a peace deal signed with five gravels last year means its now easier and safer for the navy to bring assistance to poor remote areas through Civic Military brigades what people here are less hostile to know its very forces now that they have. A presence they are starting to look up to the colombian state and im proud we are able to contribute to. That is a classic hearts and Minds Campaign in a territory where peoples allegiances of long been. And where state presences been synonymous with military force see. The governments clear guidelines are to take advantage of the fact that these armed actors are not interfering in these territories anymore so the state seeks to enter with all its capacity and avoid further institutional gaps that might be filled by new criminals. But in villages like those gaps remain why filling them will require time and resources. Our health post is not enough for all the villages on the river and they attend only people with health cars wed love that the brigades could come twice a year. Most kids here have rarely seen a toothbrush let alone a dentist if it takes three to hold this patient down while he has this tooth pulled out his mother says bringing him to a doctor ten hours down river was never an option i know in spite of the government efforts to improve Health Services. Major logistical problem. Last year sixteen percent of colombias rural population at two for go medical care because of the distances to services. Over the course of the day hundreds are taken care of twenty two year old students stephanie says its worth giving up or we can see it was not as i see it.
