Attacked the only functioning airport in libyas capital shutting it down a walkway collapses at Indonesias Stock Exchange building injuring at least seventy five people the shower of glass and a brief. Im tatiana phantasy to all the days sports news including the headlines the list of casualties on the opening day of. Two suicide bomb blasts during the monday morning rush hour in baghdad have killed at least thirty eight people close to one hundred others were injured and more fatalities fias its the fourth attack in the iraqi capital in the past forty eight hours there was a summit in java reports. Bodies were scattered all over the streets in central baghdad two suicide bombers detonated their explosives during morning rush hour in tehran square dozens were killed and wounded chocolate bars sold in the busy marketplace were scattered in the debris and blood. Its become a deadly routine as people of the iraqi capital quickly try to resume their lives out there on square is a busy intersection in eastern baghdad between Southern City and bridge the areas full of laborers on their way to work in the morning. I was here when the blast took place i heard two blasts many people got killed mainly workers.

N. Says last month alone at least sixty nine civilians were killed in violence and Armed Conflict highlighting the fragility of iraqs peace as well detention fades after the declared defeat device of some of the job others there. Moving now to syria where Significant Developments in the countrys north threatening to cause major diplomatic fallout the u. S. Announced that its supporting the formation of a thirty thousand strong kurdish led border force in rebel controlled areas turkey says that america is playing with fire and syrias government says the plan is a blatant assault on its territory russias also reacted suggesting the formation of a zone controlled by u. S. Backed rebels could lead to the partition of syria but it would pneumonias through. American say i so was not completely destroyed in syria but we can now see that the us are not interested in the territorial integrity of syria it announced a new initiative yesterday and they would like to support the Democratic Forces of syria and his own of Border Security which would mean cutting off large territories around turkeys border so this is a difficult area where there is tension between kurds and arabs these territories would be controlled by armed oppositions and u. S. Forces it would be very difficult to split syria such an approach is taking place without a u. N. Resolution or negotiations in Geneva Russia iran and turkey expect clarifications from the u. S. Well get the view from turkeys border with syria shortly thats where. Standing by but first lets begin in moscow with rory chalons whos outside the Foreign Ministry what else did have to say today. Well it was interesting listening to those comments that weve just heard from the surrogate for all because i think you know through the generation of the Syrian Civil War so far pretty much all of the countries that are involved in one way or another in the conflict have always said that they are holes the territorial integrity of syria and now of course what weve heard from the average just now and what weve heard from turkey. Today suggests that those two countries are losing faith. The United States is being true to that sentiment now all of these countries have different attitudes to the various parties involved in the syrian conflict the United States has been working with the kurds in turkey of course as a big problem without russia somewhere in the middle works with the kurds where it sees some advantage but also i think has not gone as far as the United States and in bolstering Kurdish Military capabilities so what were hearing i think from lavrov and turkey seems to suggest that both those two countries russia and turkey are siding increasingly whiny with each other when it comes to the syrian conflict and the United States at the moment is finding itself a bit more isolated so where does this leave the various dialogue the various platforms the various Peace Initiative sochi geneva a start where does it say that russia stands on those these are these are these are more areas where we are seeing key and russia working quite closely with each other and of course it will come as no surprise to hear that lavrov was beginning up a century with the parts of the process that russia has had key involvements in so he was saying that a star has really pushed forward the kind of de confliction zones in syria. Taken the prospects of peace further forward. What russia is also trying to do is organize this kind of National Dialogue conference and so she has been trying to get this up and running for many months now supposed to be happening sometime towards the end of the month now he said that this dialogue of. Comfort congress and National Dialogue in sochi would basically get more syrian groups involved in the pro. Says groups that are russian being left out he said of the geneva process and he thinks that that this so she conference would actually give impetus to the geneva process of course lets not forget that the geneva process which also meant me is trying to reach some kind of grimes political solution for the syrian conflict and lavrov says that the sufi conference is going to give fresh impetus that give the un essentially a kick up the backside but ive already many thanks story childs life in moscow there is another development thats playing into all of this turkey is planning a big offensive against Kurdish Forces in the both of syria as many as a honda explains. The turkish president today chip Tayyip Erdogan and using a party address to look staunch in the face of a u. S. Backed could use force on his southern border he promised to respond with a show of force saying tikki will launch its own military operation and the Northern Syrian city of buffeting not so soon the lot of religion that just like we do not let the Kurdistan Workers Party or p. K. Open their eyes within our borders we are determined to vanquish them on the other side of fall border god willing in the coming days we will continue the operation to purge out southern border from terror. To key his foot kiddish factions within its borders for more than thirty years and doesnt want to see the kids gain power in neighboring syria the u. S. And the European Union say the p. K. K. Is a terror group but in Northern Syria the american say this supporting Kurdish Forces not the p. K. K. Specifically the kurds are the most effective fighting force against the Islamic State in syria and theyve been very successful at that thats the american purpose but the turks regard the kurds and the y. B. G. As a dire. Threat u. S. President trump promised iran that he would stop being and training could fight is but the pentagon never made that official now turkey is furious about reports of a new u. S. Backed border force of thirty thousand personnel with the syrian Democratic Forces a group of largely controlled by the could ish y p g they will reportedly deploy along the border of turkey iraq to the southeast and the Euphrates River valley the dividing line with assads military hope the american backed could a swipe e. G. Posted this online in december purporting to show clashes with Turkish Forces its enough rain in Northern Syria the same could own clave were heard one now says he will launch a military operation in the coming days theyll get there are many kyler despite it all we believe we have common interests with america in the region and hope we can act in concert because the time has come to support turkey and the time to give Strategic Corporation is do african could be the taste for a difficult three way relationship between powers in the syrian war ticky the United States and the kurdish fight is so hated by one side and supported by the other media mahommed aljazeera lets bring in some christiane good then whos in attack india turkeys border with syria so turkeys president angry at u. S. Support for the white p. G. A. And this proposal for the Border Defense force but one of the options for him right now. Well andrea and there seems there is no option for him at first when he started saying that turkey had the legitimacy rights into the family itself against any National Security threat and they would launch a military operation it was actually a year ago when president our don started saying this but this time we see that he has the support from russia and also the Syrian Regime david gave an indirect support today its through its statement in syrian state state t. V. So at first the question was that whether turkey would be able to launch the suppression because turkey has been through a military coup in two thousand and sixteen the military is lacking personnel and turkey also has conducted that euphrates Field Operation and has lost more than eighty or if it is special forces people which means a lot to the turkish army and turkish to some of the military factions in turkey you were actually against a military operation to belong in our friend and also russia has a strong word on that front we have to keep that in mind but we see that russia gives support to turkey through its statements against United States and turkey was upset also because United States took this the situation unilaterally it didnt consult they didnt consult turkey which is they are nato ally which is their Strategic Partner thats why when president added on at rest United States during his speech yesterday he also challenge the Strategic Partnership was real or not by his words also the Government Spokesperson back here bose that said that the United States is playing with fire by this the situation to station security Border Forces to euphrates is she if rate is valley but of course time will show how they will negotiate big. Those sorts of meeting is also coming up which is going to take place at the end of january but given the statements from both russia and turkey it seems to be a wait there will be some tough days and high statements through both sides all right so many thanks indeed christoph is the director of the council for arab British Understanding he joins us now live from london chris russia and turkey the only players really in syria right now and its not at all clear where their relationship is going what do you make of it all. Well then you two Major Players in Northern Syria for certain and this has been the problem for the last three or four years now that actually its not certain components of this conflict or that siding whats going to happen it is these external powers now to a large extent the asked on a process has managed to corral russia turkey and iran and their interests. Together so that they can deescalate and weve seen a reduction in violence until the last few months but now were getting to a situation where many of the other fronts that rocker has been taken from isis are nearing completion and eyes have turned to the northwest to lip in addition to that it also brings into sharp focus what will be the future of the kurdish areas in in syria and this of course is where turkey starts rubbing up against the United States because the United States has backed the white p. G. The Syria Defense forces in its fight against isis and the risk for the United States here is that it would be seen as having ditched the Syria Defense forces that after having encouraged them after having on them against isis then to pull away and leave them to a combination of turkey and the Syrian Regime to ensure that you know kurdish ambitions in these areas would be once again watered so is another delicate moment in the great power game in Northern Syria so what if he goes ahead and carries out his pledge to go into the afrin what is he really doing here is he to is he testing the ground. I think is testing the ground i think that in africa and weve seen. No u. S. Military bases or support there so its a possibility for him to do that now there are many syrians on the ground who fear that actually there could be a very shady deal going on here as the Syrian Regime encroaches further into it live just south of that frame which is the last real center of Syrian Opposition left. Fighting the regime that turkey could abandon that in return for an agreement a tacit agreement from the other powers that it could deal with african in the white b. G. And other areas and you know this has actually happened in the past turkey effectively gave up aleppo in exchange for alberta been in its launching of Operation Euphrates Shield so theres lots of behind the scenes back channels going on here its very risky and of course one has to remember in all of this while over one hundred thousand people have been displaced in the last couple of months and its in the middle of winter theyre living in makeshift tents aid agencies are pulling out the fighting there is getting worse and we could see this all triggered yet another major refugee crisis in addition to the one that would exists of course which will bring concerns of course from the European Union nobody worried that there will be more people trying to cross the june in the months to come chris many thanks to crystal there director of the council for our british standing here with the news hour from aljazeera still to come on the program.

A French Dairy Company is promising compensation payouts to the parents of babies poisoned by milk infected with salmonella a tallis as recalled twelve million boxes of powdered milk it eighty three countries at least thirty in france in france in france alone became ill after consuming the milk the french governments ordered the shutdown of the factory that produces the powder like thomas is accused of trying to cover up the outbreak and is facing hundreds of lawsuits lets talk now to Peter Embraer whos a for food safety scientist at the World Health Organization peter thanks for being with us how do you go about containing an incident such as this this is a very difficult event because of the size and amount of products being recalled as youve named months and you also named a number of countries where this product has been exported so actual we have been helping doos. Eighty countries to. Receive specific information about what they have imported so they could also recalled. Products from their markets so its a very complex and logistically challenging event how does. The bacteria the causes the illness that with the Food Poisoning how does it get into the product in the first place. It can come in in two different true different ways either true or environmental contamination in the factory which is apparently what happened in these times but it could also enter with a lot of different ingredients being used in the production of these very specialized infant formula product and. We should also remember that infant formula is not the steroids product so its very difficult to avoid having bacteria in this product from time to time but of course when there is one of the bad ones that you want to avoid having in infant formula like thomas assert that it will compensate anyone any parents a child whos become sick after consuming this program presumably as in europe but these products come worldwide as that what would your advice be to anyone whos been affected whos not in europe if we have already one and potentially two cases identified outside of france one in spain and the though the other one probably in greece but as as you said these products have been exported to some eighty plus countries in the world and from all these countries we havent yet received information of any case linked to these products but we have true the true the system and through the International Network of food Safety Agencies in full sun we have requested all these countries to try to see if they have cases linked to these products peter good to talk to you many thanks d.

Had a there well lets have an update on our storm this is Tropical Cyclone bag and its swirling around in the south indian ocean quite close to the islands of militias and larry union now you can see just over the past few hours a time itll hole has developed in the middle of the cloud as the eye of the storm and its an indication that the storm is intensifying and becoming more organized at the moment the winds are sustained winds at least one hundred forty Kilometers Per Hour which would make the storm the equivalent of a category one hurricane thats what it would be called if it was around the americas at the moment here its just called a Tropical Cyclone and its gradually tracking its way towards the southwest now it is moving incredibly slowly on the moment which means that there is an issue with forecasting its track because one tiny little change in the atmosphere at the moment could really throw out to its track but it looks like currently its working its way towards the southwest very slowly and its expected to get to marriages and lower union all thursday during the day on thursday and between now and then its going to intensify further because the winds in the upper atmosphere are fairly calm and theres no great change in the wind as you go up through the atmosphere it is also very warm waters as well and so that means. But it can intensify theres nothing really to stop it so by the time it makes landfall were looking at a storm that has sustained winds of one hundred eighty five Kilometers Per Hour that will make it a category three and a highly destructive storm.

Well again its good to have you with us adrian fitting in here in doha with the news out from aljazeera our top stories this hour two suicide bomb blasts in baghdad have killed at least thirty eight people more fatalities a fear among the one nine hundred wounded in the square in the iraqi capital. Turkeys president or one says that he plans to launch a military operation on a Major Kurdish stronghold in syria it comes after the u. S. Confirmed that its helping to set up a thirty thousand Strong Border force in the north of the country russias foreign minister says the u. S. Move could divide syria syrias governments call it a blatant assault on its territory. An armed group has launched an attack on an airbase in libyas capital tripoli killing nine people and injuring thirty two more its the only functioning airport in tripoli to the International Terminal there was damaged in twenty fourteen little more now on that one of our top stories we heard earlier what russias foreign minister Sergei Lavrov had to say about syria those comments were made during a question and answer session about his countrys Foreign Policy he also said that moscow would not support u. S. Attempts to change the Iran Nuclear Deal warned that if the agreement collapses it would have a knock on effect for any future u. S. Dialogue with north korea on the same note lavrov said that hes ready to support direct talks between all parties involved in the north korea missile crisis north and south korea held talks last week after a prolonged period of tension over the norths missile and Nuclear Programs that gets analysis of all of this now by speaking to were so called for in moscow hes assistant professor at the Moscow State Institute of Foreign Relations good to have you with us where to start. Lets perhaps begin with syria a lever of appearing to be most irritated by the u. S. Plan saying that it could it could split syria into it to different parts yes its true actually the minute the majority of questions during the press conference were about syria and mr lavrov was a very specific about the weak points of the us Foreign Policy in general especially talking about it about its ultimatum well all to meet in character but the main issue was syria and he said that yes thatll bring in a split of the country and moscow is very disappointed with the current u. S. Policy towards syria and especially because it will create. A kurdish state that will be in conflict not only with damascus but also with turkey and that it will also provoke trouble on the territory of iraq so it will be a source of instability for at least another decade or more so yes moscow is very much concerned where does this leave moscows initiatives that its Dialogue Initiatives. Well the Dialogue Initiative is still alive and mr lavrov seems to be willing to hold a conference and sought share involving all the groups that are interested in this kind of dialogue but he specifically mentioned involving in syria opposition tribal leaders and the kurds so that i think that will be the emphasis of the kurds the internal opposition and the tribes not the opposition which is considered external because hes specifically mentioned those immigrants who leave in different kind of conscious like turkey or United Arab Emirates and he said that these people have no influence on the ground so. Were were supposed to bring in people who can really influence the situation thats thats his message so there will be the emphasis of russian. Efforts yes the magic of ok secretary level of very critical of the u. S. For the pressure that its putting iran right now of the nuclear agreement. Well yes its true and he is well several things first of all he says that the behavior of dont trumpet ministration it gives no stimulus for iran to follow this agreement so in the next several months it can be simply undermined especially if the us insists on some impossible conditions and secondly death will set a very bad example for north korea because North Koreans will see that any kind of cooperation with the u. S. Doesnt bring anything because the iranians now are following all the rules and they are actually fulfilling all the demands of the International Community but still they get no sanctions there are still thanks in place and so. Do the korean north korean leadership will have little or no stimulus to do anything so and he actually criticized there is seriously american steps towards iran and towards north korea both he spoke specifically about the meeting in vancouver which is supposed to discuss the north korean situation so and he said that russia does not support it he denounced all he almost denounced this meeting or i could talk to somebody thanks dave for being with us the clay circle. Palestinian teenager i had to maybe well find out whether she gets bail after a video of slapping and hitting Israeli Soldiers went viral she was arrested a month ago and faces a prison sentence for assault stone throwing and incitement before the incident its cousin muhammad was seriously injured when an israeli soldier a rubber coated steel bullets at his face i was to its National School for immediate release. U. S. President donald trump has denied accusations that hes a racist hes been criticized for allegedly using vulgar language when describing haiti el salvador and several african nations during a recent white house meeting that we call him which is the Big Conversation happening in washington and really across the country in the globe right now is President Donald Trump in fact a racist this is all coming about after a meeting where a Bipartisan Group of senators once the white house and said they had to compromise on Immigration Reform the president reportedly bristled at it because he said it would allow in countries in africa el salvador in haiti and he described those as undesirable countries although he used a far more explosive expletive to describe those places now the question is is he in fact a racist because in that conversation he said he would rather take in people from countries like norway which are majority white well years of the president had to say about that. And we believe. That this isnt just a question being bandied about whether or not President Donald Trump is racist this has an actual impact the republicans need to pass a budget their charge of the house and the senate and funding for the government runs out this coming friday if they cant pass something well then theyll face a partial Government Shutdown democrats have unique leverage because they need their votes in order to keep the government going so there are democrats who are saying theyre simply not going to vote for it in less than. Get some sort of immigration deal they see this as their point of leverage and they plan to lose it so right now theyre basically going to face off for the next five days and either democrats are going to cave and vote for a budget or republicans are going to have to come up with some sort of immigration compromise aircraft manufacturer says again suggesting that it may have to abandon production of the a three eighty super jumbo the double decker craft was launched a decade ago but a struggle to generate sustained demand from Airlines Airbus is chief salesman was that the company must strike along to a ten year deal with Emirates Airlines in order to keep the program financially viable pope francis is on his way to chile then peru to promote peace and unity but security plans are being reevaluated following attacks on six Roman Catholic churches in chile is anger in both countries at the alleged cover up of paedophile priests in america editor lucy and human has more now from a solo in southern chile. It used to be standing room only inside this cathedral in southern chile. But these days not many are singing the praises of their bishop one batter us appointed three years ago by pope francis. Outside the cathedral other members of the flock demand the resignation of the bishop who is accused of covering up sex abuses by chiles most notorious pedophile priest the pope may be smiling down at these people but theyre not smiling back this used to be one of the most faithful catholic cities in all of chile but now these faithful say that they are sad and angry at their pope. Accuses him of betraying his promises. The vatican still covers up abusers and to boot in chile it rewards them with promotions and positions abroad the severity we expected from the pope isnt there its an acceptable that a bishop like barrows who covered up sex abuses he put in charge of our diocese while the protest continued we caught bishop leaving through the parking lot he has long denied any wrongdoing but they did the questions about the calls for his resignation they knew to him that there are many other people charge work. Than. A survivor is one of those who accused the bishop of facilitating abuses against them by this man father finance. Behind these walls abused scores of seminarians while preparing dozens of priests and five bishops including bishop battlers he saw when the priest when he addressed the peoples genitals he was watching theres rumors of past the morning of how he. Was present and and told this day the pope doesnt acknowledge god pure talk no action his zero tolerance is a false zero tolerance. But just last week ahead of his trip to chile and peru the pope ordered the vatican to take over an elite Catholic Group in peru after years of charges that its founder seen here sexually and physically abused scores of children and adults athol are until now what weve had a dramatic gestures maneuvers for impact and damage control aimed at improving the churchs image that may not be enough to satisfy victims like one could loose and other critics who insist that while the pope is here theyll continue raising their voice to hold the vatican and its leader accountable you see in human aljazeera southern chile.

Dog and reports from manila at least six thousand people have already been evacuated from at least three towns near the volcano now this is something that local official see as escalated over the weekend the fear that they may have to increase the alert level in the coming hours depending on how the volcano develops now there are at least twenty active volcanoes all across the country there are two others now on alert level one now local officials from legazpi and by provinces are saying that they are all prepared should the volcano erupts this is a region largely dependent on that we culture for their livelihood but at least thirty thousand people are expected to be affected whether my own volcano erupts or not in the coming days. Delegations from north and south korea are meeting again to discuss the norths participation in the Winter Olympics they met at the pentagon john truce village inside the Demilitarized Zone that separates the two countries the rare second round of talks or a side of Foreign Relations between pyongyang and seoul last week sit down with the first time the two sides to tell direct talks in two years south korea made all Public Transportation free during peak hours on monday because of an air pollution crisis the fee waiver is part of emergency measures to try to tackle poor air quality the concentration of fine particles in the air in seoul reached Dangerous Levels on sunday aljazeera kathy novak has been talking to commuters in seoul. People may welcome a free ride but in terms of public reaction to this move by the soul City Government theres quite a bit of cynicism about whether it will really work first of all souls Public Transportation is already quite affordable it costs an average of about a dollar per ride and also people are blaming their pollution problems mostly on china. The main cause of the fine dust issue comes from china so i dont think thats effective the issue should be fixed in china first. If Public Transportation is free when we have high levels of fine dust fear people will drive and it will help lessen the pollution. Coming from china but if we can do something about it like having fewer cars it will help china is taking steps to curb pollution and actually the air quality here in south korea this winter has been a little bit better than it had been in previous years last year a joint study between a Korean Research institute and the u. S. Space agency nasa found that between may and june actually only about a third of air pollution in south korea came from in china that may have been a little bit different if readings had been taken around this time of year still this move by seoul City Government is an example of a farty as in south korea trying to take control of pollution that is created domestically most of that comes from vehicles so they really want to take more cars off the road.
