Hello im a fiend elisha without you there live from doha also coming up for attacks across afghanistan target Security Forces and cobbles Diplomatic Area. The u. S. Confirms its embassy will move from tel aviv to jerusalem by may thats much earlier than expected. A former election aide to donald trump pleads guilty as more charges are revealed in the investigation into russian meddling in american politics. I am. The diplomats are expressing stream frustration as the u. N. Security council delayed a vote on a resolution which would demand a cease fire across syria that vote is not expected later on saturday russia has raised several objections which the other Security Council diplomats are trying to work out and one of them is timing russia says an immediate cease fire is unrealistic now the draft resolution calls for a thirty day truce which would allow for a deliveries and for medical evacuations of people who are critically ill and wounded diplomats minds are particularly focused on the rebel enclave of eastern gator thats close to the capital damascus and is being pounded by syrian and Russian Forces while the four hundred forty civilians have died in just six days we can talk now to our correspondent asama binge of aid whos in gaza and to have that in Southern Turkey very close to the Syrian Border and while the diplomats in new york are dithering and working out these these compromises on paper the people in syria particularly in eastern guta a suffering like never before. Absolutely that has been the case for the last seven days martine this onslaught started in sunday where the Syrian Government and its allies started pounding the east an enclave of a bit not just airstrikes but attending the shows as venti been heading reports from the ground on desperate conditions on how people are counted inside small basements large numbers of them but they dont have basic Health Facilities for the people who have been injured and aid workers and medics have been telling us about more than two thousand people whove been wounded in the last seven days theyve been saying to foster off medical supplies as well as medical facilities bunch of it he says that twenty four facilities including hospitals of the head twelve of them have been completely out of service so it is a desperate situation and as we hear these comments being made in the u. N. Security council that the people inside yet cannot wait and it is. Evident i think every day out they call out for deals left on another floor but in the dense dust and debris its hard to see whos left the upper floor is on fire. Or some kind of the doctor tells me to open his eyes so he can wash it medically workers in eastern guta are calling for urgent assistance because of the continuous heavy bombardment. Incendiary bombs are now appearing in the night skies weapons intended to stop large fires when they hit the ground. People in bodies are pulled out from crevices between buildings the nearly four hundred thousand people in the besieged enclave are dying in their hundreds how to be whats taken place in eastern is a genocide and a crime against humanity in violation of international and humanitarian law and the perpetrators should be held liable accountable and cannot escape punishment under any circumstances russia is to blame for directly being involved in the military campaign and the compartment graphic videos weve chosen not to show you contain body parts scattered in the aftermath of the latest onslaught by the Assad Government and its allies. The opposition holds russia and iran responsible. When the dust settles the destruction is clear people have been forced to live in underground shelters. Message to the Security Council is for a cease fire or truce for days strikes and bombardments of forced families and children into underground shelters we cant do anything we cant even go outside to get food but when the outside looks like this there arent many places people can go to. The situation burson on the ground for the people and no aid seems to be coming in its worth noting that the city. In Damascus City the capital of syria has been the scene since two thousand and thirteen for the last five years people have been trying to explain to us that imagine running. Without Running Water electricity or basic supplies and then on top of that the bombardment. Just continues and not. Live from. And apologize for the rather dodgy connection we have because according heavily with rain we have to make out where. New york where diplomats are hoping that finally theyll be able to reach an agreement on a resolution which would impose a ceasefire on syria were expecting that vote will take place on saturday a diplomatic as i said james. All day frantic negotiations here at the United Nations to try and get a Security Council resolution passed a great deal of the pressure on the Russian Ambassador vaseline who has problems with some of the language in the draft resolution drawn up by kuwait and sweden at one point the kuwaiti ambassador the president of the Security Council appeared with the other nonpermanent members of the socalled elected ten and he sounded upbeat were still working on. The language on some of the but i get asked but we are almost there and we would like you know as have been holding as a president of the city council to thank actually the eaton for their support to a lot of votes and hopefully you are so close to adopt this is illusion today throughout the day votes were scheduled then perspire own meetings were delayed towards the end of the day the u. S. Ambassador nikki haley tweeted unbelievable that russia is stalling a vote on a ceasefire allowing humanitarian access in syria how many more people will die before the Security Council agrees to take up this vote lets do this tonight the Syrian People cant wait but in the end the Security Council decided to postpone its vote until saturday this was the comment from the swedish ambassador im trying to facilitate a meaningful outcome of this Security Council so i can only protect what were trying to do and that is to have a resolution adopted yesterday and now we have not achieved that i find that extremely frustrating given what we are faced with on the ground at the end of the day the Russian Ambassador was chatting with his syrian colleague basher of jaffrey its still unclear whether any vote will actually take place and whether a vote will pass what is certain is that the Syrian Government bombardment for now will continue. Theyve been at least four attacks in Afghanistan Taliban fighters stormed an army outpost in the west of the country at least twenty soldiers were killed there Security Forces were also targeted in lashkar gah and another attack occurred in nearby. And i saw has claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing in the capital kabul lets go there live nancy to our correspondent tony take us through these attacks and that have happened across the country. Well it started at eight thirty this morning the first one was here in kabul in the Diplomatic Area the target was the Afghan Intelligence building we were told that three people have been killed and five have been injured that was followed up by attacks in western western part of the country there was an attack in alaska ghar suicide bombing there was killed six were wounded and then as you said before know the al early district where two soldiers were killed in a post but the biggest attack was a a mass attack by taliban in farah province where we were told eighteen soldiers have been confirmed dead so its been a morning of bloodshed i think also theres a cause for concern that the attack in kabul was carried out by Islamic State and you may remember in january there was a big ambulance bombing where more than one hundred people were killed well after that the president ashraf ghani announced a new Security Strategy tightening up of security on the streets weve seen more people on the streets more armed force on the streets more defenses if you like but still with all that going on Islamic State was still able to strike in the very heart of kabul in one of the most tightly security areas so there is a lot of concern there this is a fight thats going on that shows that the reach of these groups is never ending and it comes at a time of course when the u. S. Says has ramped up its response to the taliban particularly by the air and as you say the government has undertaken to protect its people more robustly. Yes its a very difficult situation now because as you say the u. S. Here has beefed up its forces here from eight thousand five hundred at the beginning of President Trump. Inauguration to fourteen thousand now and theyre using aerial power were hearing about more casualties more civilian casualties and of course apart from today generally the civilians make up the bulk of the casualties the United Nations has released a report saying that last year two thousand and seventeen ten thousand civilians were killed or injured and theyve also shown that more suicide bombings are happening it seems to be the weapon of choice so it seems to go from bad to worse here no into sight all right thank you very much tony betty there live in the Afghan Capital kabul. The Recovery Efforts are underway in the somali capital mogadishu where around thirty eight people were killed dozens more were injured in two car bombings the first was at a checkpoint near the president ial palace in mogadishu the second explosion happened in front of a popular hotel.

Hello there weve had some very heavy outbreaks of snow recently in japan weve got one system spiraling away from the north and another system crossing of the moment as those to move out of the way things will be a bit quieter as we head through sunday so still some clown for the western part fact could just give us one or two outbreaks of snow or rain but in the south thats where were seeing a rather more tense feature that is just giving us a little bit of wet weather just to the far southern parts around key you should in the southern parts of honshu there and further north it should stay dry as we head through monday towards the west where things are changing for us in beijing as well so the temperatures really climbing as we head into monday fourteen degrees will be our maximum thats a lot higher than it has been recently for the south where here theres just a few little bits of cloud of rain around there scattered across this region here so many outbreaks could turn out to be quite sharp but generally theyre fairly well scattered and then gradually you begin to ease as we head through the day on monday and then more of us will get away with a dry picture there for the towards the south weve been watching some very heavy showers over parts of the philippines those are gradually pushing their way northwards there so on sunday quite a few of us can expect to see some outbreaks of rain but also be plenty of what weather across parts of borneo and into singapore as well expect some heavy shower with with. In two thousand and eight raggy omar traveled across the United States discovering what it was like to be both a patriotic american and a devout muslim can you be muslim and american you have to be american first i didnt have much appreciation for why it would be a big deal that a muslim the be elected to the United States congress but ten years on what has changed rewind islam and america at this time on aljazeera. Here with al jazeera these are the top stories hundreds of thousands of people trapped in a rebel held on cleveland syrias capital of being bombed for a seventh consecutive day as diplomats bicker at the u. N. Over the wording of a cease fire proposal activists say government helicopters are dropping barrel bombs on residential neighborhoods. Theyve been four separate attacks in afghanistan with at least twenty soldiers killed in a Taliban Attack on an army outpost in the west of the country two other attacks targeted soldiers in southern Helmand Province whilst in kabul a suicide bomber blew himself up in the Diplomatic Area. Recovery efforts are underway in somalias capital where at least thirty eight people have been killed dozens more were injured in two car bombings the Armed Group Alshabaab has claimed responsibility. For the nigerian president mohammed who bihari has sent extra soldiers to search for the more than one hundred girls who were kidnapped from their school in the town of. President bihari called mondays abduction by boko haram a National Disaster the attackers cast doubt on the governments claim that its technically defeated the armed group but her arm kidnapped more than two hundred schoolgirls from the town of chibok in two of the fourteen a many of them are still missing but go live to our correspondent in the capital the nigerian capital abuja and ahmed it seems very clear the president biharis keen not to repeat the mistakes of twenty fourteen and hes moving quickly on this sending troops to the area to look for the girls. Exactly. Its a smart move according to many analysts weve spoken to but they would rather see this action taken immediately after these girls were taken probably on the night on monday night or Tuesday Morning when probably these fighters or the kidnappers or abductors may not have moved far there are questions as to whether or not the Ground Troops and the air operations were located where they are your best state in particular is a vast area most of it a desert area. And its not far from the general public the school where these girls were taken in particular life less than two hundred kilometers away from public and nobody is certain whether or not these girls have been moved out of Nigeria Charity or inside nigerian territory so the question is where will these troops start looking and its been three or four days since they have been taken but all the same a lot of people are sort of. Commending the government because it had knowledge this problem early on unlike in the past when it took weeks before the government accepted the fact that these guys are big ticket without wanting to sound too cynical ahmed the gas li the gas and saddle achieve uk will most definitely want to be avoided now in particular because we are starting the run up partly to election season and president will have it will not want his copybook stained with another incident of girls having been kidnapped by the her arm. Exactly martin this is what the government is trying to avoid as much as he can however the reality of the situation is that. The government has been accused of negotiating the release of chicagos more than one hundred of them with boko haram and a lot of people feel that that has encouraged i mean both in the fight is to kidnap these people and there are even questions as to whether or not the book quote i will stop doing it the government has said it has crippled boko haram but from the looks of things according to some analysts book is finding another means of income keep not being people and negotiating the government will be keen to avoid a repeat of chibok of two thousand and fourteen simply because its Campaign Season starts very shortly and already it has gained momentum in this country the president will want to see this issue quickly resolved and how soon nobody knows at the moment but its clear that the next few days will determine whether or not this government will succeed in bringing this goes back and people will be watching what it will do also regarding the remainder of the chagos kidnapped by boko haram four years ago all right ahmed thank you for that armitage was live from the nigerian capital of. The u. S. As his new embassy will open in jerusalem this may now thats much earlier than expected palestinians have condemned the announcement describing it as provocative doesnt kill. The news the u. S. Embassy would move from tel of the to jerusalem on may fourteenth king not in a communique but in a tweet from israels intelligence minister i would like to congratulate donald trump on his decision to transfer the u. S. Embassy on israels seventieth Independence Day no greater gift than that. A short time later the u. S. President donald trump confirmed the news in a speech i was hit by more countries and more pressure and more people calling begging me dont do it dont do it dont do it i said we have to do it its the right thing to do it wasnt december trump announced he was moving the embassy to jerusalem. And he angered those who said the u. S. Was basically giving jerusalem to israel outside of final status talks with the palestinians the palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas was among those who condemned truff but at the u. N. Security council this week it was clear abbas had moved on he told them basters the era of the u. S. As an honest broker is over and that its time to try something new for any art of grammar to call for the convening of an International Peace conference by mid two thousand and nineteen based on International Law and relevant un resolutions with Broad International participation including the two concerned parties and regional and International Stakeholders a u. S. Based analyst called the move in date very bad Foreign Policy rather than just giving jerusalem away to the israelis what he could have done and said we will acknowledge jerusalem as the capital of israel if you dismantle all the illegal settlements and so what he stand now it seems given away very big valuable check and essentially gotten nothing in return the ambassador David Friedman and a few aides will join current consulate staff at their office in jerusalem a new building wont be built for several years theres no denying the embassy move will affect any and all peace talks Going Forward rosalyn jordan aljazeera washington. Ok we can think the most of about gucci now whos president of the Palestinian National initiative is joining us from ramallah in the occupied west bank good to talk to you again miss about kitty the timing of the shift of the u. S. Embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem is seems very much to to be designed to have maximum impact its at the start of of ramadan for muslims its at the point at which israel will celebrate its seventieth anniversary of independence and of course its around the time of the not the day in which palestinians mark the start of the nightmare in terms of occupation absolutely i mean nothing could be more provocative and more aggressive than such and. Such as it. But this reveals two things first of all if you do how are ignored and this administration is in the United States unfortunately and second how influential mr netanyahu and his israeli lobby in washington is and when it comes to this administration i think the whole team that mr trump has put together is nothing but as i and his team that is serving israel. Stop im interested to hear what this will not change the reality or another all right now mr trump seems to be under the impression that by taking the status of jerusalem off the table he is thereby removing one of the obstacles towards peace i mean do you agree that in some perverse way that there is much more of a open open space now for talks to resume. There is no space whatsoever because the table is completely empty if you mean by space an empty table yes there is nothing to negotiate here decided unilaterally they do lose a limb is israeli he is killing the now or no two on the once to liquidate it so that he would liquidate the rights of the Palestinian Refugees to come back home he wants to determine that there would be no borders because israel would be in charge of the whole west bank he wants to allow israel to annex settlement blocks. And he wants so what is left to negotiate about his killing the possibility of two state solution actually and this administration is participating with israel in assassinating the two state solution but again this will not change the reality of the fact there was a limb is occupied. Next in good as in him is a crime and volition of International Law these actions will not improve the image of israel as an apartheid states that is practicing apartheid and we will struggle against this apartheid and mr barghouti im just wondering do you agree with this issue jess that the palette the best. Best way to proceed for the palestinians and their cause is pretty much just sit out the rest of the Trump Presidency and just hope for a better more favorable administration to come in. That is a very bad suggestion this would mean the palestinians should put him in passive aggression is conducted against them this is a this is an acceptable on the contrary i think the hesitation of the Palestinian Authority should be finished and i think what. Should do now is to join the twenty two organizations of the United Nations that mr trump does not want us to join including the organization of intellectual property including the World Health Organization we should challenge them and the starburst also to do his best to get clear palestinian unity as soon as possible because mr feels that we are weak because we are divided and we should immediately deal with this issue of division and create unity as soon as possible third that i think the Palestinian Liberation Organization and the p. A. Should immediately implement what it promised which out of that is allusions of the Security Council resolutions of the Central Council of the p. L. O. Including eliminating and stopping all forms of security coordination with israel we should not we should not look passive we should not look weak we should respond to these aggressive and provocative acts by president and his team was about getting thank you very much President Trump says washington is imposing its largest ever set of sanctions on north korea they aim to isolate and put more pressure on pyongyang to give up its Nuclear Program thats a good name has more from south korea. An official with the south Korean ForeignMinistry Says this is a reaffirmation of the United States desire to move towards a peaceful diplomatic resolution of the korean issue and that these additional sanctions are in keeping with the policy of trying to exert maximum pressure through sanctions to get north korea to denuclearize the official also says that he hopes that this latest round of sanctions will inspire the International Community to continue imposing that is clearly an illusion to russia and china who not only been accused of not doing their part to impose current saying but perhaps helping north korea evade them during the latest round of sanctions announced Chinese Shipping Companies and vessels are on the blacklist this is what South Koreans are saying that they looked as if it had gotten even if we pursue sanctions we need to have the room for dialogue over the severe sanctions concerned me as a south korean because something worse can happen. People today in the. North korean sanctions should continue unless they keep up their Nuclear Weapons i think more than thirty percent of the south korean population agrees with me on social media some are saying that the United States is not acting in a considerate manner that its putting its allies south korea in an awkward position one person saying that perhaps the United States just wants to solve the korean problem on its own another person wondering if the continued isolation of north korea will inspire a quote preemptive strike scenario the big question is how will north korea react.
