Strikes have killed more than 50 civilians. Several people to be trapped under the rubble after a busy market came under attack Syrian Government backed by russia launched their offensive to catch in april. With this report from beirut. A trail of death and destruction this is the immediate aftermath of airstrikes carried out by either syrian warplanes the target was the marketplace. The opposition controlled town is kilometers from the frontlines but crowded and residential areas have been repeatedly targeted and the russian backed Syrian Government military campaign that began at the end of april. I was playing to talk to. Many casualties in the war planes hit the area early this morning look at the syrians look at the bodies of syrian children traitors. Syrians here feel the International Community has abandoned them there have been words of condemnation and Un Security Council meetings but Russian Support for the Syrian Government apparently means little can be done to stop the bloodshed. Oh. I. I i. I. I was i was i was i was. Opposition activists have documented more than 700. 00 civilian deaths in recent weeks including women and children United Nations has also reported attacks on Health Centers and Water Supplies in breach of International Humanitarian law attacking civilians in opposition controlled areas has been a tactic used by the Syrian Military repeatedly over the years. But the rebels are refusing to surrender they are on the frontlines defending their territory and what has become a costly campaign for the leadership in damascus and their allies in moscow the government has lost nearly 1000 men and hasnt taken any significant territory. Syrian Government Forces were aiming to push the rebels north and recapture International Road links to revive trade between government controlled cities that didnt happen and this 3 month bombardment forced more than 300000 syrians to abandon their homes and move closer to the border with turkey. Just sort of through this has become a disaster city more than 90 percent of this population had to flee to camps further north those who dont have cars or money had to stay here god help us. An end to the assault on italy province and northern hammer will depend on turkey and russia they have in the past mediated a cease fire and for now they are bargaining on the ground through their local allies and the fate of the rebel controlled province along turkeys borders is unlikely to be the only issue on the table for their answers either pavement. But in North Eastern syria turkey is pushing for a socalled safe zone that is threatening a military offensive if it doesnt happen soon it wants to keep kurdish y. P. G. Forces it considers terrorists away from its borders from istanbul heres. A proposal for a safe zone by turkey is not the 1st some turkey 1st raised its concern its will for a safe zone in Northern Syria back in 2013 it has repeated this idea since late 2018 and early 2900. 00 turkish an american sides have have come together to discuss the details of that according to the turkish will 32 kilometers from its southern border to inside syria there should be a safe zone that is cleared from any fighter groups like the white p. G. Eisel or any other organizations turkey has a concern here turkey believes that the y. P. G. And the p y d is the syria branch of the outbuild Kurdistan Workers Party that is recognized as a terrorist organization by turkey e. U. Countries and the us however the us rhetorical in syria is based on that a y p g of the kurdish fighter a group by p. G. Is boots on the ground of the American Army because they are fighting they have been fighting against iceland turkey totally rejects the idea and cooking doesnt want in any independent kurdish ated entity in Northern Syria and thats why turkey also says if if a safe zone is not establish it will have to come back to monitor oppression in the eastern side of the if you freighters river in order to stop this possibility but what we have learned from Turkish Foreign ministry during his live interview of today that the us has come with a different plan for the eastern side of the Euphrates River and we will learn more in a couple of hours after both the turkish and american delegations meet.

In ukraine the new Political Party formed by the president is on course to win a majority in parliament and push through promised reforms president will diminish zelinsky cold sunday snap election after his landslide victory in april appears his gamble has paid off as mohamed atta reports. I think it will never get this election so president will admit his alinsky is fast Major Political test the vote was initially set for october but zaleski the committee in time politician dismissed parliament it is integration speech in may and called for small. Sinking us traum monday for his 7th of the people patti to pursue what he says would be an Ambitious Program of reforms the little 1st time voters in the capital kiev could barely hide their eggs sight and but spitting in the elections. Procedure was clear for me even though i never voted before but nevertheless its funny to take part in the elections when you have the vote and you know that your vote will matter taking into account what is happening in the country its also very cool to each of us here we are grateful to the people of ukraine for their support thank you lets applaud the people of ukraine for their great trust in our party here in the servant of the people i am allowed to say servant of the people you see theres no more campaigning im now campaigning only for ukraines. Zelinsky how sadies most likely candidate for Coalition Partner and parliament is that recently formed the holes or voice of ukrainian rockstar c. V. S. To mark a tree i vote for the future. I voted for volleyball because i think that although next. Already showed the results one year we are all of france at this point so we need to change but its not enough to change the law you present here we need to change route in order to make real changes to the op arent willingness to place ukraine in the harms of mobius politicians analysts say is symptomatic of the publics discontent with establishments ukrainians in the event majority if they do not trust in all the politicians and those new hawke im going to power. With the presidency landscape and with the rest of Political Parties they are on experience and it will be is serious test definitely it will not be in easy work for president and for his majority or for his call this and all of the country was able to take part in this not elections because we are still remain under russian control and influence. That would want all the force issues selenski will have to dissolve now that his party has a bit of a presence in Parliament Mohamed Al jazeera. Israeli forces have demolished homes in the occupied west bank despite warnings from the United Nations and the European Union the destruction of the and hamas is the 1st of its kind because its under the control of the Palestinian Authority palestinians there lost their 7 year legal battle to overturn a military eviction order when Israels High Court dismissed their case rob matheson is at the site of those demolitions in the occupied west bank. Just let me show you these piles of rubble that you can probably just see behind me one on this side of the fence the other one on the other side of the fence these used to be houses these these used to be homes that one was on occupied but this one was occupied by a family that had 6 children and it just around the corner from us from where we are now there was another building thats been razed to the ground there were 2 families in that that had to be evacuated by the Security Forces before that building was flattened in the early hours of the morning israeli Security Forces made their way into vacs property and brought people out we were here when that happened we had people screaming and shouting and yelling the people were taken off further up the road and then we saw teams of workmen who came in and were removing large pieces of furniture from the house where we didnt see any small personal items that were coming out the only thing that were waiting for now is this building here this 4th building is currently being filled with explosives by Israeli Military engineers the intention is to bring that building as well always and for doing this is a military ruling that was brought in about 8 years ago which said that in at least as far as this neighborhood is concerned that no buildings could be could be constructed within about 250 meters of this separation fence in the separation fence as you can see is running up the center of the street there you can get an s. Sense of just how close these buildings have been. Or ahmad a hedge as he is a senior official at the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs he joins us via skype now from ramallah thanks very much for being with us so despite the condemnations from from the International Community on this the European Union the United Nations century condemning israels actions these demolitions are going ahead so what does the palestinian leadership do now and what how do you plan to respond to this. Unfortunately weve been warning for so long that condemnation alone would not bring israel into compliance with its International Legal obligations and those who have been condemning israel for its actions and warning against such actions need to step up their reactions towards these illegalities and this criminal actions by taking steps toward poles holding those we look comfortable and holding it accountable at several levels and looking ensuring accountability by imposing a certain level of sanctions and holding those who have given the orders including the judges of the high court and the officials including those we occupy an army senior ready Officers Holding them accountable and bringing them into into. Into compliance with International Law other than that condemnation and warts have proven to be falling on deaf ears when it comes to israel and israel is further in boulder today by the u. S. Administrations full coverage from impunity at the International Level as such those responsible actors of the internet or National Levels are required to step up their actions and take sanctions and take steps that would bring israel into compliance other than that we will see more of these criminal actions taken place from our side we will be continuing on and stepping up our International Effort at all of them including at the International Criminal court and to apply further. Pressure on the i. C. C. In order for the prosecutor to open investigations because we believe that the International Criminal court and the prosecutor of the International Criminal court i stooped so low to. Investigations wall and the choir. Those are also such actions are also contributing to the continuation of the school all right well if this if this goes through if you take this to the International Criminal court lets say and they again and they rule in in your favor and israel again simply ignores. All of that and continues with demolitions like this what does that what does the palestinian leadership do then particularly from the point of view of palestinians who will be out on the streets now and have nowhere to live and they will be theyll be looking to their leaders for something here. Well the social responsibility was towards those who lost their homes will certainly be extended as the person in government has been doing for so long towards all of those who are of been subjected to israeli criminal actions and warned colonial actions as as in relation to israels not heeding the calls i think slowly but surely once we ensure that responsible activists and International Community start taking actions towards Israeli Occupation colonial occupation it will bring about some compliance but today israel is not heeding any ready of these calls because it is not. Married with with with action there is no action taken at any level from anyone at the International Level if those who are committing those crimes are banned from traveling and are pursued by the International Criminal court they will count to 10 next time before committing those crimes under such the Palestinian Government will continue on pressing on ready with these International Actions ensuring that israel is not left off of the hope in particular in relation to to be held accountable as as the rest of war criminals and then those who commit crimes against humanity are have to get to speak with you are not had jazziest speaking to us there from ramallah.

A warm day choosing with a high of 30 degrees celsius at 29 across into back story on wednesday a little bit so low that still that rain is finally stop and just sticking to those Western Shores 44 in kuwait city a very hot day further to the south it is equally holts old though we have seen a slight reduction in time which is certainly into doha setting cheese day no exception again on into wednesday however with that low temperature does come a significant increase in the humidity so feeling very very sticky very unpleasant with a high of 30 on wednesday 30 celsius meanwhile into muscat and some nice on shore breeze is there and then we had down into Southern Africa the rain much needed across the south africa and we should see some of that in the forecast and not the last few hours but certainly by choose it as a front just sliding by so quite a wet day indicates an 14 celsius 26 degrees above the average a little bit cooler on wednesday with 24.

U. K. Foreign minister jeremy hunt will address parliament over iran sees a british flag besmirched then i in paris thats off to a high level emergency meeting held by the Prime Minister to resign my u. K. Is looking at several options including limited sanctions against the. Philippine president reagan to catch a wants to bring back the Death Penalty for drug related crimes tatay hasta congress with a reinstatement during his state of the nation address. The ongoing tensions between the u. K. And iran of royal tankers seized in just brought to and the strait of hormuz is what were going to talk a little bit more about now simon may bonnie is a senior lecturer in International Studies at Lancaster University joins us now from london thanks very much for being with us so we mentioned there that the u. K. Government is looking at several options what do you think are the are the best ones at this point what can they do i guess theres a number of different strategies that they could deploy depending on what their end game actually is and i for one as a director of Peace Institute i would be advocating dialogue i would be advocating diplomacy but right now it seems that those those diplomatic channels have been broken the rules of the game in terms of diplomacy and in terms of the way the states relate to one another have been broken particularly after the u. S. Withdrawal from the j. C. Puree the nuclear deal so i think the u. K. Is left with a few different options but those are all going to be options that increased tensions on iran that make the situation worse and i think thats where theres a bit of reticence from people across london a bit of concern about how best to address this question without further escalation but also reasserting British Agency and making sure that britain has a role to play in keeping its own vessel safe yeah how much of this depends on u. S. Policy towards iran then given given what you mentioned there i mean does the next british Prime Minister whoever that is and in all likelihood is going looks like its going to be bush johnson does he need to get trump to president trying to clarify what it is he is trying to achieve with iran because many when you speak to many people there doesnt seem to be a clear end game here as far as the u. S. Is concerned. Yeah i think that thats really true that there is no clear end game in terms of what the trump of ministration wants to do with regard to iran i think some people would suggest that it wants to suffocate the republican till there is a regime change but that of course is hugely devastating for the iranian people so so theres a great deal of doubt as to whether that really is the end game but i would suggest that the 1st thing the british Prime Minister the new british Prime Minister has to do is clarify the u. S. Strategy towards iran it has to figure out what america seeks to do with regard to iran with regards to its Nuclear Program with regard to its actions across the middle east with regard to this this latest tanker incident and then from there it the Prime Minister the new Prime Minister has to reassess the special relationship the quote unquote special relationship that the u. K. Has with washington and figure out whether it wants to continue or in which case it will probably have to follow washingtons lead or whether it wants to reset relations and if thats the case then it opens the door for maybe a bit more of a diplomatic solution it opens the door to working closer with the European Partners european states with regard to the nuclear deal trying to save that deal and stop it from from collapsing which is what it looks like will happen right now but then of course the real spanner in the works is it because the u. K. Would then be working with european states to save the nuclear deal whilst working with european states to finalize a divorce get to get your thoughts on this simon may bomb thanks very much for being. Thank you hong kongs leader kerry lamb has condemned the violence following a mass rally against her government at least 40 people were injured one of them critically when a mob assaulted antigovernment protesters sarah clarke reports from hong kong. When watchwords facemasks the suspected mob of gang members moved in on protesters returning from sundays prodemocracy. Wilting still roads and battens they attacked militias you long train station in the new territories. As well as assaulting students journalists and a politician some tried to escape by boarding a train they were pursued and beaten again and what appeared to be targeted assaults at least 40 were injured some taken to hospital but the citys chief executive and Police Commissioner condemned the violence and we absolutely do not condone that sort of violent acts and i let me made this clear again violence is not a solution to any problem or violence were only breed more violence. Prodemocracy politicians say the mobile is part of an organized crime group known as child hide they say to sell campaigners against the extradition bill the politicians also accuse the police of cooperating with the attack it was the slow response to cries for help and you could tell how they were if not to colluding almost cold operating with agenda how do you explain the dozens of people were injured some very seriously and got the taken to hospital and the police didnt manage to arrest one person is a terrorist attack on the people of hong kong and they want to silence the people of hong kong and create a right white tara and thats why.

Pakistans Prime Minister is in washington to meet donald trump for the 1st time in one car is looking to improve relations after the us president cut off military aid to trumps accuse pakistan of not doing enough to confront the taliban and other armed groups mike hanna has more. This is a crucible in which the relationship was forged pakistan a vital ally in the u. S. Campaign against the soviet invaders in afghanistan. A partner in a war that eventually led to the collapse of the soviet union. Decades later though a defining moment president barack obama ordered a special forces operation in which bin laden was killed an action that took place without the knowledge of the Pakistan Government so help me god but in the eyes of obamas successor donald trump it was another example of pakistans inability or reluctance to crack down on terror groups in 2018 in his 1st tweet of the new year the president went after islamabad the United States is brutally given pakistan more than 33000000000. 00 in aid over the last 15 years they have given us nothing but lies and deceit into them for the same year another attack we no longer pay pakistan the billions because they would take our money and do nothing for us President Trump tweeted but large and being a prime example afghanistan being another. Trumps combination provoked pakistans newly elected Prime Minister iran kong to respond with similar venom in a series of tweets he said his country had lost 75000. 00 people and more than 123000000000. 00 fighting what he called the u. S. War on terror can mr trump name another ally that gave such sacrifices he asked him and seeking to reduce its involvement in afghanistan the u. S. Had no option but to once again seek pakistans assistance last year pakistani diplomats agreed to set up direct talks between the taliban and the u. S. A move gratefully acknowledged by one of President Trumps most valuable Foreign Policy advisers and im going to urge him. To meet with the Prime Minister as soon as practical i think they will hit it off similar personalities in recent days pakistani authorities have arrested one of the us is most wanted men of his saeed was accused of masterminding the 2008 terrorist attacks in mumbai since then living openly in pakistan despite a u.
