James up and this is al jazeera live from also coming up there are reports in the u. S. That president son in law has lost his top level security clearance. A day in court for two words as journalists imprisoned by me and my government and. Im Catherine Sawyer in Central African republic a town that is controlled by one of the largest rebel movements in the country ill be telling you why they are here despite the presence of u. N. Peacekeepers. The United Nations has warned russias partial truce in the syrian rebel enclave of east and go to is not enough to help improve the situation the u. N. Says its impossible to evacuate the injured or send aid to civilians in the truces short window between nine am and two pm instead its called on all sides to implement the full thirty day ceasefire agreed at the Security Council on saturday russias pause in fighting has just begun for a second day but the first attempt on tuesday failed to stop the onslaught with at least thirteen killed in fighting. U. N. Experts are accusing north korea of supplying the Syrian Government with items to create Ballistic Missiles and chemical weapons the report is expected to be publicly released next month and outlines north koreas dealings with syria over the past ten years the supply of such items would breach u. N. Sanctions the Syrian Government has been accused of using chemical weapons and what is live for us from beirut in neighboring lebanon day two whats the expectation today. Well like you mentioned the pause in the fighting just an hour ago we were getting reports of heavy bombardment and airstrikes targeting a number of towns and among them so they too in the process of the fighting there is no doubt that this is a welcome or spite for the citizens the residents of eastern who have been spending over a week really many of them at least in underground bunkers they managed to emerge from the bunkers to find food to bury their dead to search their homes for personal belongings that that are left behind so for the people of eastern. It is not enough what they want is a ceasefire because people died during the first the five hours the pause in the fighting yesterday the syrian observatory for human rights says that two people died in this five hour time frame so what the people wanted like you mentioned is a long lasting cease fire and are we getting a sense of the situation there what people have been through what they need zohn now. The needs are great really first and foremost medicine medical supplies according to the United Nations one thousand people need to be evacuated urgent evacuation they need medical treatment outside. We have to remember that this Bombing Campaign started approximately ten days ago but has been coming under fire since december the government really bent on recapturing this enclave. Of damascus. Capitol so one thousand people need to be evacuated theres not enough medical supplies there scores of people who were injured in the latest Bombing Campaign and its not just medicine it is food as well because this area is under siege and as of late the underground tunnels they have been closed smuggling routes have been closed so food needs to get in but this pause in the fighting has not allowed aid to enter the eastern like you mentioned earlier the United Nations the International Committee of the red cross they are saying that this is not enough time for food to enter this the u. N. Once the implementation of the full safety days agreed why is russia and syria not behind this and whats the end game. Their end game is to recapture who they want all rebel groups to lay down their arms and leave now the rebel groups have proposed that they will ensure and they are committed for the few hundred several fighters from the front the formerly known they will leave and they say they are committed to do this now the russians the Syrian Government the progovernment alliance rejecting this proposal because they want the fighters and we believe that there are thousands of fighters. But these groups actually attended russian sponsored talks and asked and so in one way or the other the russians and you know have dealt with them but now it is clear they want all these rebel groups to surrender and leave but the problem is what will happen to the people because these fighters are from eastern so theyre going to leave with their families so at the end this is depopulating an area and this is why the opposition is refusing to surrender thank you. Hillary Mann Leverett is chief executive of strategic and Political Risk consultancy and former u. S. State Department Official she says russias truce is being used to deflect International Criticism. From the russian perspective to make this work and from the Syrian Government perspective to make this work is to enable those Syrian Government with russians of port to retake eastern quota so how do they do that how do they do that most effectively they have to they have to in a sense mute International Criticism they have to give the International Community away to feel good about itself as russia and syria russia back the Syrian Government to retake eastern good as they did with aleppo so i think this is more of a measure to keep the International Community at bay as your own government takes the territory i think its nothing more then an attempt to minimize criticism as they can to continue the military after operation until theyve retaken the territory you already see the United States really getting out of the way the United States has more than two thousand troops in syria not one of them is lifting a finger to go anywhere near is john good and addition to that the u. S. Commander in the area general said today that the u. S. Interest in syria is just to combat isis he made no mention of going against the government of bashar assad and he made no mention of helping the civilians and these are good to us so i think when you look at what the United States is actually doing on the ground literally and what the military u. S. Military commanders are saying and doing there theyre basically standing up for russia to work with the Syrian Government to retake this territory one of christianitys holiest sites in jerusalem has reopened three days after its leaders close of a protest against israeli tax measures the church of the holy separate because believed by many to be the site of the crucifixion and resurrection of jesus christ it reopened after the local mayor suspended the plan to make churches pay substantial back taxes on their assets. The head of the army in sudan has been replaced in the shake up of the defense establishment president bashir ordered a series of new senior portmans in the armed forces but she replaces head of security earlier this month he also announced more than eighty Political Prisoners would be released. Us media reporting Donald Trumps son in law an advisor jared krishna has lost his access to top secret security briefings hes one of several aides under scrutiny about the level of information theyve been allowed to see ellen fishers more from washington d. C. Well the white house will never confirm who has security clearance and it was level well its confidential secret or top secret but this whole row blew up a couple of weeks ago over there or porter incident no you remember he was an executive secretary to donald trump which essentially meant that every piece of paper that the president saw went across his desk and it was revealed he only had interim security clearance when he faced allegations of spouse abuse he then resigned and john kelly who is the chief of staff said that he would start a fool skill review of who had through a security clearance an interim security clearance it was revealed that in november forty seven people who were very closely with the president only had that interim security clearance and they included dont mcgann white house chief counsel and also say the Huckabee Saunders who of course is the White House Press secretary weve heard from a spokesman for gerry said he has cooperated fully with the clearance process and will continue to do the job that he has been given by the president john kelly whos the chief of staff has also said that the clearance the jury question has got a lowes him to do his job not confirming whether or not he has been downgraded as we know is working very closely on the idea of a middle east Peace Process and also watch very closely on relations between the United States and mexico one final interesting thing is that security clearances well they can be set aside by the president any time he can tongue run to anyone at any point including your son in law and Senior Advisor and say there is something here that i think you need to see and that could carry that top secret branding doesnt really matter its up to the president to decide who sees what afghanistans president has offered to recognize the taliban as a legitimate political grid as part of negotiations aimed at ending the more than sixteen years of war shahani was speaking at a meeting of nations trying to build a framework for peace talks but he reiterated that the armed group also needs to recognize her. His government tiny has proposed releasing prisoners and a review of the constitution officials from twenty five countries the e. U. A nato meeting as part of the kabul process in the Afghan Capital and the taliban has said its willing to talk to the United States to try to end the bloodshed in afghanistan david save me is the former deputy u. S. Assistant secretary of defense for gonna stand and pakistan he says the increase of u. S. Troops is impacting heavily on the taliban up until then the taliban have been counting on president obamas promise to leave afghanistan and to end the war there by pulling all u. S. Troops up this change of direction by the trumpet ministration has told both the taliban and their supporters in pakistan that they cant count on the United States leaving and i think that is one of the major factors that is leading the taliban to look at a book to look at talks with new interest i think that his show in both the taliban in pakistan that just waiting out the the fall of the Afghan Government is not going to work at the same time or the increase in air attacks and increase in u. S. Military support for the Afghan Government is leading to greater thatll feel casualties to that for the columbine theyve responded by cheap shots if you will using suicide bombers to kill civilians in afghan cities but on the ground the situation is starting to tilt against the taliban.

Two imprisoned reuters journalists are appearing in amir maher court for another hearing they were arrested in december and have been charged with illegal possession of state secrets covering the violence against muslim rangan Rakhine State human is calling for their immediate release. Of his story joins me now on set obviously you know the story incredibly well the dynamics happening here on so many Different Levels talk us through the court case and how its playing out well these two reuters journalists were arrested in december last year and they had been invited to meet Police Officers at a restaurant over dinner and they were handed some documents by the police and they were arrested shortly after that meeting so this entire case smacks of a threat up now of course reuters and the journalists have denied any wrongdoing or its president has called for their release saying this is a blatant attack on press freedom they have just been doing their case now theyve also been several discrepancies that weve heard coming up during the hearing. Apparently try to make these two boards as journalists sign a document saying they were arrested at a Police Checkpoint just north of gang gone whereas these two join of the fed they had been arrested outside the restaurant shortly after being handed the documents so thats where the case is that now and i think today were going to be hearing from more witnesses right and sadly this is not the first such case is when it comes to the journalists when it comes to the media absolutely known just last year as well there were three journalists who were arrested two foreign journalists working for t. R. T. And their local producer and the driver who were arrested for trying to fly a drone in naypyidaw they served a couple of months of the sentence for the charges were dropped but that case together with this and several other cases. Shows a willingness by the man among government to use legal laws to stifle criticism of the. Of the myanmar government particularly this case where these two reporters are reporting on the story now theyve been charged with possessing secret documents and its an extremely wide provision and this law which theyre charged with it says they were in anyone possessing Illegal Drugs or anyone possessing feek official government secret documents that may or may not be useful to the enemy so this is an extremely warm provision its a very old law but they are using this to charge these two journalists and its definitely making it more difficult for reporters to operate in the country some International Media organizations have gone so far as to not publish the by lines of the local reporters briefly if you will so it seems that that small open window seems to be closing doesnt it all when it comes to freedom and is it linked directly to the me and my situation and give us an update whats happening well these are reporters as you mentioned they were poor they were arrested while working on a story they were trying to uncover the story of of mass killings of of or injure ethnic minority men in northern Rakhine State and theres an ongoing crisis that nearly seven hundred people have fled into neighboring bangladesh now but the myanmar government has insists its insisting that what theyre conducting in myanmar is a legitimate counterterrorism operation and basically dismissing stories of unilateral attacks on this ethnic minority they have said that their soldiers are guilty of killing ten men but thats as far as the myanmar government and the military have gone now and the myanmar government. You can see that they are trying to say that they have said that all this reporting by foreign media if sensational so thats the thats the thats the way that that theyre trying to dismiss this story ok thank you for that.
