Hello welcome to the program we begin this news hour in syria where a new wave of attacks by Syrian Government forces and their russian allies is forcing thousands of syrians to leave their homes around one hundred twenty thousand civilians have been displaced in rebel held province in recent weeks but instead of finding safety they continue to face danger. No law no law on top. Of their own no the freedom. That if you know law. An aljazeera crew is filming in a makeshift camp in a live when an attack happened they tell us a missile hit very close to civilians it escaped earlier bombing attacks in the nearby how country side aljazeera correspondent maillard father can be seen among men women and children desperately trying to find cover.

Was built only a couple of weeks ago and has already pooled five thousand people are here but still more are arriving every day most of them are poor families from instant how much as the weather gets colder the main fear here is illness hygiene. It is a major issue so much of the prevention falls on the women here as they are the ones responsible for feeding and cleaning in dark conditions. The primary needs are attempts some things like moccasins blankets and carpets also items that are specially leaders by children and women you name it people and syrian leaders even finding a nail clipper is an issue. Survival mother cation is the priority here many of these children have been on the run from the bombings for some time some of them havent been to school in years theyre left to think again and i scape from the fed reality of their homeland people have managed to escape the regimes air strikes and the fight against arsenal they were able to find a reference here in this camp in northern. For now theyre safe but no one knows what will happen if more syrians come to the region saying im close to all of aljazeera northern italy. Where there are signs of further divisions now between the u. S. And turkey over syria with the turkish president spokesman condemning plans for u. S. Trained Border Security force the thirty thousand strong force will be under the command of the kurdish Led Syrian Democratic forces which controls the whole of north east and syria it will be deployed on syrias northern border with turkey and its eastern border with iraq also along the Euphrates River valley which roughly divides s. T. s Health Territory from areas under the control of the Syrian Government turkey views the kurdish y p g which dominates the s. D. F. As terrorists and has announced an imminent assault against offering an enclave held by kurdish fighters in northwestern syria. God willing in the coming days we will continue the operation to purge our southern border from terror for which the first step was taken with the Euphrates Shield operation and now with the frame. Is genuine in that we expect america to support turkey and its legitimate efforts we expect our friends to display an attitude up affects them and this issue of survival that is so sensitive and so critical for our country during the a free an operation i hope these powers will not give rise to error by appearing on the same side as the terror organization. Come on my team is a senior lecturer in International Relations and you know us to have sussex he joins us via skype from brighton thank you very much for speaking to us we know that kurdish positioning in Northern Syria has long been a priority for the takesh president russia. How militarily involved in syria is he prepared to be. Well i think the level of the military engagement of the Turkish Forces really is a different in the east and west and euphrates because the americans are not present on the western side where their actions and the syrians are not present and the attack on african each other one has talked about but today really requires permission by by russians especially to allow to kish forces especially operate their airplanes in their fighter jets and so on because otherwise a printer is very fortified the region is quite hilly and its not very amenable to operation of the conventional armies and so on but the on the other side they American Forces have been present for a while and this new development of training over the floor seems to have really angered circuit because it is seen in a car as a sign of american tacit support of the formation of some sort of core of who this particular entity which has consistently opposed but with the last few years and in fact this entire syrian strategy was perhaps bolstered on its kind of opposition to the kurds for which it has made a series of concessions to the russians and syrians in other parts of syria and now they feel that they are in a kind of loser situation because they have lost their leverage against asset by making compromises and the pull for instance which fell to the original forces and now this was done in order to contain the kurds but the curse seem to be actually rising into a kind of recognize entity and thats what really seems to be. Infuriating the turks yeah and this poses quite a crucial perhaps strategic question for the kurds ad because we know that the political political military map in Northern Syria has changed quite a bit as a result of the civil war in the cunt. Three as you say these y p g military gains are causing deep unease in turkey how can the kurds continue to control those portions of Northern Syria when we know the turks are prepared to intervene militarily militarily to put a stop to herself or all but i mean how and do you can you stop your friends is any direct attack by the by the turks would have met me it would mean that they are actually potentially getting engaged with American Forces two thousand of them are reportedly present and theyre american some are actually declared and in the past conditional happy to convoys oresteia forces and b. American forces with them with their flags and so on so i think that its because the level of immunity and also look makes the turks seems to us in terms of really engaging in a full scale attack in those regions but in the in the other and the and their free mary our game it really depends the degree to which that the russians and the syrians but especially russians are allowed to give the turks a free hand in order to attack a free which doesnt seem to be quite. Strategically making says a disappointing time because of the moment the Regime Forces with iranian russian help trying to capture the elite the largest remaining claim under the opposition control and this unplayed borders a free and these Opposition Forces are directly supported by turkey so its not clear to me how russia would help turkey just as you say we have so many different forces and in the area and were talking about a very small piece of territory when you think about the build up of troops but youre mentioning the have been regional realignments havent there and this is a problem for the kurds it seems as though ankara and moscow have reached some sort of understanding even if theyre not close which means that turkish troops might feel comfortable enough to enter syria without reaction from the russian. Yes but i mean russians have have consistently in my view. Diplomatically the turks because theyre very well aware of turkish. Sensitivity to the kurdish issue so they have and americans and the russians have been driving this wedge between turkey and us and the rest rest of the metro by constantly you know playing on this particular issue and they havent produced any clear distancing themselves from the kurds the russians insist on a federal decentralized future syria which by you know default would mean some sort of role for the kurds which turks cannot accept when in fact i mean syrians and iranian their iranian backers also are not going to align with this particular mine or russia but russia needs that because in some ways russia does not want to see the emergence of a fully sovereign and powerful syrian state because in that at that point it would loses its necessity for dependence on russia so far for not a number of reasons russia cannot fully distance itself from the kurds knock can it at this point in time totally innate well antagonize turkey but over the last years what we see is that russians actually have not seized their support for the kurds also partly because because have played their relation with the americans very well so if they rush and leave abandon then they could easily switch to answer to the americans and why success of both major powers seem to be trying to appease the kurds or keep them on board and that gives them quite significant political leverage in the consequence that Cameron Mccain thank you very much thank you. Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas has been addressing the p. L. O. Central Council Meeting in the occupied west bank with the u. S. Decision to recognize jerusalem as israels capital dominating the agenda the announcement by washington in december has sparked protests across the world to new groups hamas Islamic Jihad have declined an invitation to attend the meeting in ramallah as observe as they say there is a lack of agreement on how to respond to the u.

And the conservative Islamic Party banned by bin ali was on its way to win elections. We have seen the popularity of that in that the house around the country. And after a turbulent nine months the ushered in a democratically elected government in october two thousand and eleven was. There were more demonstrations a year later despite a ban on protests and the challenge for tunisia is security and law and order especially on its borders with el geria and libya. Three years after the revolution demonstrators took to the streets against Economic Hardship a new technocrat government was still failing to improve Living Conditions in two thousand and fourteen. But to new zealands did get a new constitution hailed as an important step towards full democracy. The two thousand and fourteen elections brought power to the second learned that to this party which later formed a Coalition Government but the conservative in the party but the security situation failed to improve.

Somber and job ahead of there. Of more on this we can talk to and it is a political commentator she joins us via skype from tunis thank you very much for taking the time to speak to us so if you were hearing there week of protests have been rounded off by thousands gathering to mark the seventh anniversary of the revolution which ousted president. Ben ali tell us why seven years on people are feeling as angry and frustrated as weve seen well because to this is they still feel that the the revolution hasnt the finns promises of dignity of freedom and economic recovery and so people are very frustrated they feel that the successive governments have whether in two thousand nine hundred to try the government and then with the with this current government you know they havent made this promise isnt and so they felt the need that they need to go you know they need to come out you know in protest that you know since the last for the last week at least can you give us a sense of the geographical spread of these protests weve been speaking about demonstrations in tunis but where else have we seen people taking to the streets. Well it was almost all over the country you know actually snow maybe eighteen localities locations in north south. Of the country in the most wanted man a series of opportunity but also some of those are some coastal areas of the news just shows that that that the anger. To protest is you know its not only limited to there is much in most areas and would you say that there is increasing wealth disparity inequality and in certain areas we often hear about the economic economically neglected interior parts of the country just give us a sense of. The sort of lifestyle and the expectations of people there versus in other parts of the country. Well unfortunately you know the marginalized areas where we have seen the the first sparks of the of the absence of the johnson revolution whether in the city in our city visit or. All or tell you know those those that those areas have seen more and more i havent seen any of the promises of the revolution are having more development more and more poverty more and more marginalization and as i said you know these successive governments spade you know to address their the Economic Hardships in the end those in those areas and the groups are still very very strong there but also even in some parts of the afternoon its in so the marginalized areas in tunis like you know the garment to put a bomb so. Its yeah its something that thats make that makes that hes making people have become an oppressed rated every year seventy years into the revolution right now a lot of them they just feel that they need a second revolution you know this morning when i was that there are a lot of protesters were asking for a second revolution to address you know those economic grievances and when you say a second revolution i mean do they is it about specific economic adjustments and changes the government should make or is it a complete overhaul of. Those that are there now. Well yeah and its the same you know demands that they that i had back in two thousand and eleven when they asked enough of a ninety two to leave and a lot of the classes were asking for this government to overhaul of the budget law which a they find is the cause of all the research in anger that its making the poor even more poorer and the rich are even richer so yeah its basically the same demands as in two thousand and eleven so with that in the hope that you know if that happens that people will be able to choose you know probably be leaders who will address these these these these are grievances but it is very likely what it is that this will happen any time soon thank you very much ed and for sharing your thoughts with us do appreciate it joining us there from tunis youre welcome thank you.

The. Local communities the sometimes afraid that the newly arrived will disturb the established order will take away from what has been long labored to build up in the newly arrived also have fears they are afraid of confrontation judgement discrimination and failure of these fears a legitimate having doubts and fears is not a sin the sin is to allow those fears to feed hostility. And rejection. Pope francis is speaking out at a time when wealthy western countries are tightening their borders even though there are more displaced people on the move than ever before dress by the pope is important for two main reasons the first is that weve seen all too few World Leaders willing to stand up for refugees in fact have seen quite the opposite over the course of the last two years weve seen a hardening of the refugee rhetoric which the report references in his address pope francis leaves on monday for a week long visit to prune chile hell be taking his message of compassion for the uprooted people of the world along with him and in malaga in spain on sunday the latest reminder that this crisis is not going away theres another one hundred nine migrants from morocco including nine pregnant women and sixteen children who bought a sure way to shop aljazeera at least one person has been killed and Dozens Injured in an earthquake on the coast of and they Southern Coast of peru this footage shows the extensive damage to homes in the town of akari the seven point one magnitude quake hit in the early hours of the morning the at the center was in the Pacific Ocean and early a tsunami warning has been canceled.

Well now thousands of people who lost their homes to flooding in the democratic republic of congo last week a facing another Threat Health workers in the capital kinshasa and now dealing with a cholera outbreak thats killed a thousand people catherine soy reports. Its hard to imagine just a week ago holmes studio this is a neighborhood on the outskirts of kinshasa when floodwaters came crashing down from a nearby river many people didnt even have a chance to rescue their loved ones and belongings. Months shows me what you mains of the two bedroom house he shared with his wife and three children he says he knows he should take his family to higher safer ground but theyre still here despite the obvious danger. I am afraid because he still leaning but they dont have any money to move them weve got no help from anyone moving from here means lending the house. But the rains are expected to continue for the next three months and this means more trouble for a country that is facing a cholera outbreak the worst in two decades about a thousand people have died since last year more than fifty thousand from across the country have so far been affected the government has declared cholera a National Emergency and set up Treatment Centers the government has set up this facility here in the most affected area in the city were not allowed to go to the wards where the patients are because of the nature of the disease since november at least thirty people mostly children have died in kinshasa alone. Cholera is highly infectious also easy to treat if detected early but with a Poor Health System and financial problems doctors are overwhelmed. A Government International appeal for eight Million Dollars has not helped less than two million has been released. On the a few countries in africa can deal. By themselves this is why the government launched an appeal for help in november and. Soon the disaster. So here Health Workers focus on prevention talking to anyone they can about the importance of good hygiene and visiting centers like this one are. There preparing themselves for more difficult times ahead in this rainy season catherine song aljazeera kinshasa the World Health Organization is called cholera a disease of an equity it affects almost three Million People every year of those cases nearly one hundred thousand a fatal the bacteria spreads through water contaminated with human waste which means that most most deaths occur in countries with inadequate sanitation over the past week zambias armies and forced a curfew after the disease claimed at least seventy lives yemen is in the midst of one of the worst ever recorded outbreaks with a million cases and more than two thousand deaths since april and as we heard varying kathryns report more than a thousand people have died from cholera in the democratic republic of congo since july but the w. H. O. Is fighting back launching a new strategy to reduce deaths from the disease by ninety percent well Jonathan Kennedy is a lecturer in Global Health at Queen Mary University of london he says color is easy to prevent and treat but the International Community isnt doing enough to help those affected. If you have a supply of clean Drinking Water if you have toilets then you dont catch you dont contract cholera if you do contract scholar its actually very easy to treat with antibiotics and with or rehydration therapy you can be well within a few hours so it only reoccurs where theres a failure of the National Governments of the International Community to provide a good Health System and decent sanitation and clean water so yes it tends to affect poor people in poor countries so its just a superficial manifestation of a much deeper political malays. Of a failure to provide clean clean water sanitation Health System which is really quite easy to do but its very difficult for the debate for example. Continuously troubled by by funding they have a lack of funding and its quite easy to raise money for diseases like a bowler that potentially threaten rich people in rich countries but diseases like cholera that affect poor people in poor countries its much harder to generate any kind of interest among governments in the global north and also we see that this is a manifestation of a much bigger Political Economic problem its the result of a iniquitous Economic System that allows some people to be very rich and something very poor liberias Ruling Unity Party is expel the countrys outgoing president after an internal raul in a Tea Party Members accused Ellen Johnson sirleaf of not supporting the candidate chosen to run in decembers president ial election the vote was eventually won by georgia where a former football star supporters of the Unity Party Candidate joseph because i claim sally favored where which she denied.
