And their intake of this is al jazeera live from london also coming up brigitte girls fall prey to human traffickers with some of the refugees sold for as little as sixty dollars we have an exclusive report from a camp in bangladesh. Another attack in the Afghan Capital just a few days after the couples deadliest suicide bombing in months. And why chinas interest in this undersea plateau rich in minerals and gas is called a protest in the philippines. And there are syrian warplanes have launched a fierce offensive on the rebel held province of idlib killing at least twenty people women and children are among the dead want to say the jets targeted a market and then a hospital full of people wounded in the earlier strike meanwhile a russian brokered cease fire on the edge of the capital damascus seems to have collapsed activists are reporting several tricks violations by Government Forces besieging eastern guta at least eight people have died russia has also launched a diplomatic push to end the war hosting a new round of talks in sochi the un is there but the main Syrian Opposition group says it will boycott the negotiations until president Bashar Al Assads forces and their russian allies stop the violence the kurds who control most twenty percent of syrian territory also not attending the focus of a Turkish Military operation in Northern Syria and chris as their fighters are terrorists Stephanie Decker reports from the town of killis on the turkish syrian border. Theres just been incoming from syria into turkey we were actually preparing for a live when we heard a whiz over our heads. And then we saw the smoke landing around five hundred meters from our position well the police have now come to inspect the crater this is a reminder of course that this is an active conflict and there are consequences for these border towns these border cities kilis has had rockets and shells land here before also the honey on the other side of the border but people that residents that weve spoken to here will tell you that they are concerned theyre used to it because i saw was here just a couple of years ago along the border and there was this kind of tense situation as well but one gentleman we spoke to yesterday said he was worried and he was already wife and children away you could see people are tense and they want us to move on were each others has worn out from the talks in sochi. Well the news earlier on monday the another group of opposition figures was going to be staying away from sochi really exposes i think the short comings of this Congress Russia has tried to make this as inclusive as possible inviting people and groups from across the syrian cultural religious and political spectrum so the robot is here there are these there are sunnis and shias allo whites and various different political platforms including the moscow platform the rest on a platform but there are a few notable exceptions now those are the s. N. C. The syrian that Negotiation Committee which has said that it will stay away from sochi believing that this is undermining the geneva process the kurdish groups such as the y. P. G. Then not here either they are considered persona non grata by turkey and of a century been shut out i dont think they want to come anyway because of whats going on in africa and so this all basically steers towards the moscow and damascus perspective on the syrian conflict the upshot of this congress is likely to be the endorsement of the new what theyre calling a Constitutional Committee made up supposedly all of the Syrian Government on one side and opposition representatives on the other but if the main groups of the opposition are not here then this allows damascus to essentially say that the opposition groups boycotting sochi boycotting this process are saboteurs of peace the big question of course is where the u. N. Stands on the of this and whether stefan de mistura will approve of these measures and not allow this to filter in to the geneva process the russians believe that he is on board rafters wait to see whether the u. S. That suggest that is confirmed or not. In. Neighboring man ma being increasingly targeted by human traffickers at refugee camps in this exclusive report hours there has been speaking to men who are involved in smuggling girls out of the country from could you refugee camp a correspondent for reports.

My own as story is built on coleman in the Ricky Refugio camps Rights Groups say that trafficking gangs have thrived in the ranger refugee camps here in bangladesh for years but the recent arrival of more than six hundred fifty thousand new refugees means the situation is getting even worse now we met a traffic and he told us that men come from outside the camps they pay range of families for their daughters promising them work for the girls often never seen again.

The United States ambassador to the United Nations nikki haley is taking members of the u. N. Security council on a tour of washington d. C. It was the highlights or look at the iranian missiles and equipment she unveiled in december as alleged evidence of tehrans violations of Security Council resolutions. A speech ordered right here to james bays at the white house or james an extraordinary move nikki have to achieve with this. Its a very unusual visit by the u. N. Security council yes theyve been here to washington before but this time theyve been brought to washington by the u. S. Ambassador for her to show them evidence evidence that she says proves that iran was responsible for foreign that missile that landed in riyadh shes taken the Security Council to a military base on the edge of washington d. C. To show the missile fragments to the other fourteen ambassadors of the u. N. Security council theyve come from that air base took a family photo at the Lincoln Memorial on their way here where they arrived a short time ago at the white house where they will have lunch with President Trump and im sure he is also going to make very clear his displeasure about what iran is up to in the region at that meeting which is taking place over the next hour here in the white house remember of course the backdrop to this is President Trump deeply concerned too about the deal that was done the iran deal that was done between the International Community and iran on Irans Nuclear program he believes that iran by its actions in the region including its actions with regard to saudi arabia and its involvement the u. S. Administration says is definitely there in yemen means there should be tougher action against iran and thats what hes trying to persuade the ambassadors of the Security Council how likely is it that the u. S. What actually got anything from this. Well certainly some of the ambassadors that weve been in touch with some of the diplomats are swayed i think a little by this evidence others though are not convinced they say that there is a problem with the chain of custody the missile fragments that the Security Council have seen are in the hands of the u. S. Now and they were given to the u. S. By saudi arabia and i think some would be concerned that perhaps its in the saudis interests because theyre obviously a keep participant in the war in yemen to blame iran so its not clear how the Security Council will act with regard to this iranian missiles could be dealt with by the Security Council under two different headings the Security Council looks at iran itself and it looks at the war in yemen so those two different avenues for the Security Council to go down if they were to take action i can tell you there is some disquiet among some diplomats and some abbass on this trip about the whole idea of them being brought here to washington d. C. To be shown this sort of evidence one diplomat told me well now that washington is doing this whats to stop down the line president putin inviting the Security Council to moscow to give his own evidence about different matters on the International Agenda so theres some concern about this well wait to speak to the ambassadors at the end of the day to see what they made of the evidence there was james bales thank you very much indeed. Still to come on the program well tell you why sounds of Union Workers from the u. N. Agency for Palestinian Refugees taking to the streets of gaza. And how the security of u. S.

Military well its starting to become a concern now for the u. S. Military because this global heat map that went online last fall lets anybody go onto the internet and see where people that have these tracking devices are located and if you look at this map you see it places like the United States in north america and in europe are lit up because a lot of people in those areas of course have them but also now you can see areas where potentially u. S. Military personnel have them the pentagon a few years ago gave out about twenty five hundred of these devices to some personnel in an effort to fight obesity so now there is concern that people can go onto this map and they can zoom in and they can see places where military personnel are active places like the c.

Is taking this very seriously its reviewing the situation to see if training and policy should be developed in order to keep personnel safe so this device that was given out to the military in an effort to keep them fit now could potentially be a Security Risk and of what randi can do is catch up with a list tories were reporting on on our website the address for that is.
