And wayne hay with a rare look at the second day being constructed on the lower mekong river as laos pushes ahead with its goal of becoming the battery of Southeast Asia. Syrian Government Forces and russian air strikes have killed at least one hundred ten people since sunday in an intense bombardment of eastern go to. The rebel held on terror has come under increasing fire in recent days local observers believe the attacks are the beginning of a major offensive the United Nations is calling for an immediate end to the targeting of civilians in the area near the capital damascus it says the humanitarian situation is spiraling out of control according to the union of medical can relieve the bombing has destroyed five medical facilities in the four hundred thousand people remain trapped in eastern goods which has been under siege since two thousand and thirteen joins us live from beirut so center there was religious of calm until recently what happened what changed. Well yes a relative calm approximately a week or so what we understand is that there were behind the scenes negotiations russian brokered negotiations between the rebels and the government in one way or another the russians wanted some kind of rebel surrender and now those negotiations fell apart and on sunday we saw a renewed intense bombardment really twenty four hours a heavy airstrikes heavy artillery shelling targeting multiple towns across Eastern Hotel like you mentioned more than one hundred People Killed one of the bloodiest days really in syria and in eastern hutto women and children were killed now pro regime and media there beating the drums of war if you like they sent reinforcements to the edges of who theyre talking about a decisive battle comments made by the Russian Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov saying that the experiment we had in aleppo could be implemented in eastern talking about a rebel surrender so people are worried their fear that this could be the beginning of an all out offensive but we have to bear in mind that so far what the government and its allies have been doing is punishing civilians targeting residential neighborhoods they still have not tried to storm the push for a ground offensive theyve tried that in the past and they failed its not going to be easy so the question is the stepped up military campaign is it to bring about a surrender before a ground offensive begins and the targeting of medical services as weve seen in the pos i wonder what the medical situation is they consider how many people have been wounded i mean you cant get medical supplies and you cant even get food and. You know three hundred people wounded in the last twenty four hours alone like you mentioned of the siege the area for years and as of late in recent months the government really tightening the siege closing off the tunnels underground tunnels that were used to smuggle in supplies and medical equipment so and doctors are overwhelmed understaffed. So no medical supplies not just medical supplies what about food theres a shortage of food a sort of fuel the United Nations has been appealing time and time again to bring in aid a few weeks ago they were able to bring aid in bus for a mere seven thousand people i believe and there are four hundred thousand people in the eastern of both us so medical supplies the lack of food so people really facing a very dire situation the people inside are to have taken to social media appealing for help saying save the film children uploading videos saying that the world is save us to do something and the question that many are asking inside is why is the world doing nothing then how to thank you.

The palestinian president wants to set up an International Alliance to mediate with israel thats the message Mahmoud Abbas will deliver to the United Nations late on tuesday it marks a step away from a longstanding policy of accepting the u. S. As the main intermediary then its most reports from ramallah in the occupied west bank. Donald trumps promise of the deal of the century turned into what the palestinian president called the slap of the century its forced Mahmoud Abbas and his team back to the drawing board. Has been involved in palestinian policy making for decades he now believes the u. S. Is losing its dominant role in the world in a world that is changing i mean the calculation is not only on our wishes its also on our and alices of whats going on in the world including what israel now practices israel is seeking very much better relations with the russians was the chinese was the indians with the japanese israel itself knows that the world is changing and it cannot ignore these other important forces abbas has been telling leaders from Europe Russia china and elsewhere that he wants them to have a role in mediation with the israelis while retaining u. S. Involvement. For any new form to work though the israelis would have to be willing to take part with trump at his back there seems little incentive for now the Prime MinisterBinyamin Netanyahu to change tack i doubt that can be and the renewal of the Peace Process especially that. The alternative sponsorship will be refused by israel we will witness a period of no process no solution whats a period i mean probably the coming one to two years at least a massive fairly Bleak Outlook isnt it thats right but this is less harmful to the palestinians from continuing with a process in which the sponsor of the United States might come up with a proposal. That can be even more harmful than the continuity of the current difficult and political reality that were living angle with donald trump recognition of jerusalem is israels capital came with criticism of the palestinian leadership for depending on us mediation for the last twenty five years its felt the pressure to come up with an alternative we have no other option we dont want to go back to violence we are not abandoning our commitment to the Peace Process and when you do that then you really have to find a new International Alliance a new legal methods and ways and means of really saving our country from being totally overtaken by the Israeli Colonial project as the palestinians cast around for a new mediation is the reality on the ground is that illegal settlements are expanding day by day eating up more and more occupied land time is not on the palestinian side but its with aljazeera in the occupied west bank.
