Protesters take their message to the white house says pressure months on lawmakers over the Florida School shooting. I think say five people have died during intense Syrian Government on russian bombing of a rebel held on klav near syrias capital damascus local observers believe the attacks are probably good to a made. Which has been under siege since twenty thirteen reports from beirut in neighboring lebanon. Rockets. Activists fear that. The besieged opposition. Could be the beginning of a large scale military operation. To bring about. They have so far failed. Yet again civilians were the victims since the end of december a stepped up military campaign killed more than four hundred people at least one hundred of them were children the fear now is that the numbers will only rise if a wide scale attack. The Syrian Government and its allies are sending military reinforcements to the edges of the rebel enclave just outside the capital damascus. And what they say will be a decisive it will be the first time tried to storm. Past. And people are defiant. We have. This is what we have for seventy years they tried many times. But they werent able to do anything. The Syrian Government and its allies havent taken ground but over the years they have continued. Residential neighborhoods the Syrian Government and. Opposition. For some time. The. Territory after securing local cease fire deal that involved opposition fighters and their families. And sent to other rebel controlled areas. In the northwest. This. So far the people and rebels of eastern who are refusing to surrender but the reality on the ground is becoming sure about four hundred thousand people are trapped there the violence is only we think. Its. A childs cry from underneath the rubble he is alive to fight the volunteers say its not usually the case. Well the United Nations has called for an end to what it describes as the targeting of innocent civilians in eastern guta the uns Regional Humanitarian Coordinator for the syria crisis said i am deeply alarmed by the extreme escalation in hostilities in eastern today the recent escalation of violence compounds an already precarious humanitarian situation for the three hundred ninety three thousand residents of eastern. Long nutrition rates have now reached unprecedented levels the highest rates recorded in syria since the beginning of the crisis the humanitarian situation of civilians in eastern go to is spiraling out of control its imperative to end this senseless human suffering no were not a harsh i mean is the director of middle east studies at the university of denver hes joining us live from denver in the usa via skype thank you very much indeed for your time as we heard in same as report just a few moments ago the people of go to are resilient and very defiant of the attacks that have happened in the past and they have been able to to mount an opposition to the attacks by the pro forces what do you think has changed that allows the pro assad forces to now think that they might have a chance of success. Well i think the assad regime backed by a russia and iran are hoping to you know consolidate their control over all of syrian territory having conquered aleppo about over a year ago and so now theres a sense that the next target is is east its a huge embarrassment for the assad regime that on the suburbs of the capital city you have four hundred thousand People Living in a rebel held territory that is under siege so i think that basically is the plan but i think also theres an International Dimension here theres a general sense that no one in the International Community really cares about stopping russian and Syrian Government war crimes and so theres a sense that the assad regime and russia can do whatever they want to the people of east and theyll be no one to stop them this was supposed to be a dead deescalation zone that was part of the agreement between russia and turkey and iran why is it failing. Well i think the deescalation zone and the terms were written in such a way where the assad regime and russia could bomb it it will claiming that there are you know extremist forces there that are not part of that agreement so this was simply an agreement that was written basically in moscow to. Advance russian and assads war aims in syria so it really has no i think you know he neat and independent status in and of itself and it fundamentally boys down to the question of you know you know where is the balance of power line syria today in an overwhelmingly lies with which russia iran and in the assad regime so thats why theyre carrying on in this barbaric way as you report scribed you know and as i was mentioning previously has been the case that in the past the Syrian Forces have taken control of certain areas but only after getting some sort of cease fire agreement with rebels and allowing people to leave do you think theres any chance that ahead of any Major Initiative by prous of forces were going to see some sort of opening of humanitarian corridors to let people out. Well i suspect the model is what happened in aleppo to put it under siege to pursue this deal or starve policy and then to bombard the on clip into submission at the end when the enclave is about to fall to sort of let out you know civilians and let rebels move to some other part of syria in exchange for the assad regimes conquest of the on clay so that they dont have to pay any higher price so i suspect thats very much the policy that theyre pursuing in the school and the tragedy is that theres no one there really to stop them and its real open question you know how long can the people within the. Dont cling to the school to really withstand this vicious siege an aerial bombardment thats thats extracting an incredibly horrific toll on the civilian population there now to stay with me for the moment because i want to talk about the tension there which is escalating incity is north and thats where turkey may be heading towards a military confrontation with syria ankara says its going to fight forces loyal to Bashar Al Assad if they enter the city of freeing the district is in the hands of the city and kurdish why puji said the state News Agency Says progovernment forces will enter within hours to join what it calls a resistance to turkish aggression turkey began a military operation in mid january to try to end kurdish control of freeing white b. G. Commanders have denied making a deal with the Syrian Government but say syrian troops are responding to their call to protect the borders of offering Stephanie Decker reports thats being at the free Syrian State Television and now it says that forces loyal to president Bashar Al Assad will be deployed to a free. Turkey launch an operation against Peoples Protection units or y p g who are in control of the province almost a month ago and who is the y. P. G a terrorist organization the United States considers the. Its most effective ally in fighting isis. This new move by damascus in africa could mean its allied militia directly confronts turkish troops turkeys foreign minister was defiant you know certainly. If the regime is interested to clean. Up he whitey and there are no problems however if i come in to defend the white p. G. The nothing and nobody can stop us this applies to efren as well as maam and to the east of the Euphrates River the developments hence said behind the scenes negotiations the details of which are unclear if the kurds are going to accept the major conditions of the Syrian Regime will decide on that of their heavy weapons. Will they be exiting the city because the Syrian Regime is the Syria Democratic forces to exit the city and to move to the east of the euphrates the kurdish why p. G. Holds the areas in yellow which include the region of the green areas land controlled by the Syrian Opposition supported by turkey and they are advancing on africa and under the Turkish Operation olive Branch President assads government controls the area to the south and the i. P. G. Is territory to the east of the euphrates is where the u. S. Has military bases and personnel on the ground syrias seven year war seems to have entered a new phase with the foreign powers who have long backed different sides trying to solidify their spheres of influence Stephanie Decker aljazeera well the president s of turkey and russia have discussed the african operation in a phone call. About a one on one Vladimir Putin over the actions of the Syrian Government which is russias ally. Has more from istanbul. The first batch of kurdish fighters has reached the city of free and thats according to s d f which is a u. S. Backed force and these kurdish fighters have travelled from the city of aleppo this is a city which is under the control of the Syrian Government forces so syrian fighters have been saying that this proves their point that kurdish fighters off the by the Peoples Protection units have been allied with the Syrian Government all along there is expectations that more convenience of militias not regular Syrian Government forces will enter this city against this operation that has been launched by the Turkish Forces called all of branch on the diplomatic front weve been hearing from president from sources that the president has been speaking to his russian counterpart and hes told them that there will be consequences if the Syrian Government continues on its path this is the part that the foreign minister had also alluded to saying that the turkish government has no problem if the Syrian Government contains and controls its own territory and borders but it will have a problem and it will confront anyone who allies itself with the with these goodish fighters that turkey sees as terrorists and the turkish government Spokesman Says he hopes a planned military operation in mondays east freen may not be necessary is that ankara hopes to resolve differences with the United States about control of the city turkeys taking mondays maybe its next objective after fleeing his country held by the estee efforts a Rebel Alliance led by kurds and backed by the us. If an outcome wont be achieved by the talks with the United States then turkey will be the one to say the last word in that case turkey will cleanse the terrorists there like it cleansed the terrorists in africa we hope that this issue will be solved by dialogue without the need for such an operation ok lets go back to not a harsh image from the university of denver for more analysis particularly about please not a syria going to listen to those warnings from the turkish president do you think. Well it remains to be seen i dont really think that the Syrian Government forces are in that abundance where they can actually spare troops from the fight in and around east and live to support krrish militias fighting the turks so i think it largely this is an attempt to try and intimidate and corrupt i dont think you know theres really a military option for the Syrian Regime but it does suggest the potential for a widening of the war if turkey continues. On its path of trying to liberate a free and if turkey act and if the assad regime actually does try to send some of its troops there to back the kurdish militias so this is a potential you know very difficult situation that could expand the conflict in syria beyond the dimensions that we are already familiar with if i understand it correctly these arent strictly Syrian Military troops official troops their militias that are allied with the assad regime but the consequences of fighting between assad linked forces militias and turkey could be very severe what do you think is in it for president assad to to try to push turkey in this way. Well i mean we have to remember that the official position of the turkish government with respect to assad is that. You know the arab one government wants assad gone they somewhat you know back you know theyve someone. With drew there sort of insistence on him sort of leaving but recently the the the the turkish president sort of made a very fiery statement a couple of months ago suggesting that. You know assad has to go in there and you know peace in syria so there is a extension existential conflict between the two countries and so i think this is sort of really at the backdrop of this conflict and these are these war of words that weve been seeing recently between the two countries where is russia going to stand in relation to this particular potential conflict because on the one hand there was a suggestion that it was essentially allowing turkey to move into Northern Syria and of course as weve said before it is an ally of the government does that make it put it in a very difficult position it does its in a difficult position because its sort of straddled between sort of two to sort of major you know military and political entities at the core of this conflict of course its very much weighted in his it jested heavily in securing it supporting the assad regime and making sure that it survives but also you know russia has reestablished relations with with with turkey and i think russia is really the only country here regrettably that complaisance sort of mediating role its pretty clear that the trumpet ministration has no interest or ability to engage in diplomacy so i think if theres ever going to be some sort of settlement of this particular dimension of the syrian conflict in and around freeing its going to have to come about as a result of russian diplomacy and that remains to be seen really good to get your analysis and both analysis on both these stories now dr sami from the university of denver thank you very much indeed for your time thank you.

The irony is this is coming from the most liberal countries in europe taking the very liberal practice of banning something because you dont agree with it all about smoking medical evidence is that the best time to perform circumcision which is a very minor procedure is when a child is eight days old which is exactly when jewish people do it because thats when we are commanded to do it in the bible male circumcision is a very minor procedure that causes no harm at the time or loss to harm female circumcision on the other hand is a very intrusive procedure that is a mutilation of a womans sexual organs it calls deception and urine re problems and for almost all women who have it done for the rest of their life its criminalized in this country and rightly so there is nothing wrong with cultural or religious grounds when it doesnt do harm and it has a degree of good all the American Pediatric Association finding was that in developing countries where health and sanitation isnt as good there are huge benefits because a massively reduced incidence of h.

S. Department store to sell the his job the ultimate symbol of oppression of women whats next. Just another user tweets dont accept the slow normalization of the his job in america ever its not our culture and it never will be but there has been some approval people like sarah say they support macys move to be inclusive she says she loves her job adding i used to purchase them before macys labeled this guy off as his job was in up charges from the American Council on American Islamic relations and she says head scarves are big business for macys. You know its a manufactured controversy i think for the vast majority of particularly muslim women but just you know ordinary americans this is just a move by macys to be more inclusive and to be more more diverse embracing of diversity but more importantly more than that its more its a business decision a sound business decision made by these to tap into a growing market that is very lucrative financially and you know by all accounts and purposes muslim fashion is a multibillion dollar industry that has generated you know an amazing amount of revenues and mrs decided that they want peace of the pie theres a lot of misconception and misunderstanding about islam and about woman and islam and just the his job in general is one of the most politicised articles of clothing in the world and for many in the west they see the hit job as a form of oppression until they meet many muslim women and they hear our side of the story and they realize that you know its actually couldnt be further from the truth personally i decided to wear the hijab when i was nineteen years old i became the first muslim woman in my family to wear the hijab and it was really a form of liberation for myself or a way for me to express my identity and i think many muslim women who wear the hijab also feel the same way and i think a lot of it is just it comes down to dismantling a lot of the misconceptions and zero times that exists about islam and muslim women particularly and just educating the broader public on what the head job is and why its not something that people should be afraid of.
