Lowers thousands defy a protest planned to rally around the country. So the r. s have it be aris governor. Bush politicians vote to back force johnsons practice it bill clearing the way for the u. K. To leave the e. U. Next month. Now in syria thousands of civilians and live off fleeing to the Turkish Border following a dramatic increase in by the government and russia observers say 18000 people from the province have been displaced in just 24 hours shelling in as strikes an adlib of escalated in recent weeks 7 more people were killed on friday morning off to at least 19 civilians were killed on thursday and there are reports that Government Forces are now preparing for a ground offensive to secure the main highway which links the capital damascus with the Northern City of aleppo well hundreds of people meanwhile have been protesting by the. Connecting syria and turkey they call. Called for the end of the bombing and demanded that turkey open its border to allow displaced people to flee. Mosque but they were bombing us we couldnt sleep through new types of weapons they have been used bombs all rockets. That we are far more about yesterday they launched 200. 00 rockets out as we took the children out from under the shelling there were 40 of us we had a vote accident because theres a lot of traffic. So. I 1st took my children and family and neighbors out then when i saw the difficult situation in town i couldnt see people in the bombardment so i went and i started taking families away. There is 100 samples says civilians are reporting that the attacks on towns inside have been unrelenting. The people in but out to norman now been saying that the. Bombardments and shelling they say they are also using bottle bombs have been. There for say they were in discriminate and the targeted civilian infrastructure including hospitals was a little and theyve been fucked to us and this is a created a situation where small 1000000 people who forced to flee from their homes now they are fleeing too its the talk each border 80000. 00 of them according to top usual frijoles are very keen to cross the border but theyre not having any of the beefed up the security deployed comes to ensure that they are there early on to the day after the friday prayers the war to symbols homes one particularly about 7 kilometers away from the tuc east border where the protesters also tried to head to the border bill was stopped by to through the sham thats an opposition groups fighters but they quickly ran over the body kids they have put and headed for the border on that i was told by turkish forces. And meanwhile russia banks by china has vetoed a United Nations resolution that would allow cross border a delivery is from taking iraq to millions of syrian civilians for and not a yes lets get more on this now from mike hanna at the United Nations just to be clear this was a resolution that would allow the u. N. To bring cross border aid into syria now why so why block this this resolution why hasnt in many. Oh i must point out that these crossing points for crossing points have been in existence by a Un Security Council resolution since 2014 yet this is the 1st time that russia has actually vetoed a renewal of these crossing points as humanitarian corridors now the reason could be russia and china very strong backers of Bashar Al Assad whos intent on reducing International Involvement in the syrian situation the British Ambassador suggested to off to the boat that she believes that russia is attempting to diminish the extent of the humanitarian disaster within syria itself but russia introduced its own resolution in turn its proposing to crossing points on the border of turkey this was rejected by 6 of the Council Members including the United Kingdom and the United States seeing it as very much a political gesture rather than with the interests of the Syrian People at heart so the situation is the crossing points now are going to be closed once their term expires and this is over an argument about a single crossing point. There are any options now because obviously the consequences here are that millions of syrians that depend on only u. N. And i suppose other n. G. O. S but they depend on that u. N. Aid as well for lifesaving humanitarian assistance are going to be deprived. Well the term for the opening of these crossings expires on january the 10th if theres not agreement by then well put most simply there will be no more humanitarian aid going into syria which would impact the lives of millions of people in the conflict zones in particular now where it is a go its very difficult to say because the resolution vetoed by russia was in itself a compromise a number of western nations and a number of members of the Security Council had been seeking 5 crossings going into into syria in iraq on the jordanian border and on the Turkish Border that was a compromise watered down to 3 crossings 2 on the Turkish Border and one on the iraqi border so its very difficult to see how any further compromise could be made on that particular point members of the council those urging this resolution insistent that that border on the crossing on the iraqi border absolutely essential particularly for residents of northwestern syria getting aid from the turkish side would just not be possible it logistically possible so that is why that iraqi crossing point is so essential but very difficult to see where agreement can be reached what compromises can be made and there is that deadline generally the 10th thank you very much when United Nations mike hanna. Now the International Criminal courts chief Prosecutor Says she wants to open an investigation into alleged war crimes in the palestinian territories once its jurisdiction has been established both israelis and palestinians face the possibility of charges being filed against them palestinians have welcomed the decision but israels Prime Minister says the i. C. C. Has no chairs diction to investigate the chief prosecutor to bensouda set up a limb or examination into alleged war crimes opened in 2015 and it provided enough information to meet all the criteria for opening an investigation i am satisfied one that walk crimes have been or being committed in the west Bank Including East Jerusalem and the gaza strip to the potential cases arising from this would be admissible and free but there are no substantial reasons to believe that an investigation would not serve the interests of justice and we have correspondents monitoring reaction to this announcement in ramallah and western as them lets start with him in the west bank city of ramallah and of course it was a Palestinian Authority that initially petitioned or approached the court what does this landmark decision mean for the palestinians. Its leave here is a very important decision for them one that could potentially bring them justice as far as theyre concerned they were saying that theyre hoping that a solution would be found to the palestinian israeli conflict through negotiations but as we know the Peace Process has been frozen for years one of their bifurcations of this is really occupation in the palestinian territory has been the mushrooming of illegal israeli settlements all across the west Bank Including East Jerusalem this is an issue palestinians hope that the i. C. C. Will eventually decide to investigate as a potential crime of course as we heard from the prosecutor herself that shes she believes that there is a basis for these crimes but shes going to be establishing 1st whether the court has jurisdiction to work in the palestinian territory so both cities ive been saying that theyre hoping that it. Would receive a positive answer when it comes to that and that eventually they will see the launch of an investigation as this has been something they wanted since they joined the i. C. C. As members of around 5 years ago yes as you say that the question of the jurisdiction of the court is something that has to be settled and that is very contentious also about the reaction of the p. L. O. Many palestinian leaders were soon to come to decisions say that they are happy that it has been made. Palestinian foreign minister says that. That it is and should be considered a dark day in israel also the p. L. O. Secretary general saw about a card says that israel has been acting as a state that is against International Law and the palestinian Prime Minister and how much he is that this decision reinforces palestinians trust and confidence in international regality thank you very much from ramallah need to abraham now youre going to aim is life for us now in west jerusalem and the israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has wasted no time in showing his condemnation of this decision. There is anger and defiance not only from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu but other israeli officials its important to note that the International Criminal court or i. C. C. Prosecutor did say that during the war in gaza in 2014 that she thought there was a reasonable basis to conclude that members of hamas as and other Palestinian Armed groups committed war crimes by targeting civilians and killing individuals torturing them sorry and torturing individuals this has been a very big topic of conversation among journalists on social media a short time ago a prominent journalist went on television and said that this is israels most significant legal struggle in its history it is one that israeli officials anticipated even before the announcement this is a weekend the attorney general released a report detailing israels legal arguments and a spokesman with the Foreign Ministry gathered reporters on the phone to say that palestine is not a sovereign state that israel is not a party to the International Criminal court and therefore there is no jurisdiction Prime Minister netanyahu says that with this decision the i. C. C. Has become a Political Tool to quote deal a gentlemans eyes deal agendum eyes israel this is a dark day for truth and justice the i. C. C. Prosecutor has apparently decided not to dismiss the palestinian claim against the state of israel this is a baseless and a religious decision the court has no jurisdiction in this case the i. C. C. Only has to or stiction over petitions submitted by solvent states but theres never been a pounds to state. This is now who says that the prosecutor has not only ignored our legal arguments he says that she has ignored our history and our truth by saying that jews living on there and sister all homeland is a war crime netanyahu says that the country has valid legal claims to this territory and that these issues regarding territory were supposed to be resolved during negotiations with the palestinians netanyahu has vowed he will not remain silent in what he describes as travesty of justice he sent a letter to World Leaders today all right thank you from leicester some special.

Minister to move 2nd leading Prime Minister to move 2nd reading. There is a new mood in the u. K. House of commons the knife edge brecks it votes of the autumn ancient history the tension replaced by political inevitability and in front of the newly expanded ranks of conservative m. P. S Boris Johnson was enjoying the moment history will record the 1st act of this new parliament in its earliest days was to break the ice floes and find a new way through a new passage through the unsuspected oceans of opportunity his parliamentary majority means that Prime Minister Boris Johnson can now press ahead with his vision of bracks it the new law will prohibit any trade talks extension beyond december 2020 and it weakens parliamentary scrutiny of the executive clause on protecting workers rights has been removed and a previous commitment to receive unaccompanied child refugees has also been watered down. Critics opponents say the changes showed the Prime Minister cant be trusted for all the promises over the past few weeks that they all go cocky to protect rights at work at the very 1st opportunity they removed a basic provisions they said would be part of this bill that does not bode well freshman emphatic election victory the Prime Minister has little need to contemplate the critics or placate his opponents but he will have to consider the voters especially those who switched from labor and in his words lent the conservatives their support in the election the simple fact though is that johnson has the numbers with him the eyes of the right 358. 00 the nose the lead 234.

Now dutch activists have won a legal battle forcing the government to take fast action on Climate Change climate activists have been celebrating the verdict which forces the government to reduce emissions to at least 25 percent below 1900 bills by the end of next year court said the government had a g. T. To protect its citizens from the effects of Climate Change the netherlands is one of the biggest polluters in europe and as van buckle is a lawyer for the Agenda Foundation which brought the case. Well obviously they have a responsibility but the difference with government sees is that since 1902 they have acknowledged that they have a response they have the responsibility over this problem that they have responsibility for all the emissions in their territory since the climate treaty in 1902 they have adopted the responsibility in paris again in 2015 to say we are responsible for this problem we need to make sure that these emissions are going to not lead us to a warming about 1. 00 degrees and we have human rights which are the basis of this case that all of the states to do to take these actions when a u. S. President or trumpets lashed out at a prominent christian magazine that calls for his removal from office a christianity today opinion piece called trump very lost and confused and said he is not fit to be president exit polls found 80 percent of evangelical christians voted in favor of trump in 2016 president responded in a series of tweets accusing the magazine of being very far left im joined now from washington by a White House Correspondent Kimberly Alkan of course is the definitely had the support of the evangelical vote didnt he why how influential is this magazine and why are they saying this now. Yeah well listen is a magazine that doesnt always weigh in politically but felt compelled to in light of the events in the house of representatives to put it in context though i mean historically theres no question that this is a magazine that a lot of devout christian evangelicals would at least be vaguely familiar with it was founded by the very well known internationally known billy graham in advance list who was very prominent in the last several generations hes since passed on and his son Franklin Graham has been a big supporter of the president whats notable about this magazine is that billy graham founded it so to have this sort of coming out with such a strongly worded editorial is certainly notable but at the same time whats really notable in all of this is how the president has responded he feels for a president that doesnt always offer loyalty but demands it he seems to be sensing some betrayal here given the fact that he did deliver for the even after they supported him in 2016 we think of the Supreme Court nominations particularly now that this court has sort of lean further to the right many feel that the president kept his promise on the campaign trail so he sees this as a bit of a betrayal but in terms of how influential this magazine is you have to put into the context of the numbers i checked the readership of it it is Something Like 260000 that read this magazine but the number of people they tend to fire is even choke on the United States is somewhere in the neighborhood of more than 90000000 well the magazine said that he abused his power and violated the culture constitution so some some very strong was there. Do we have any on the gauge of how the sort of religious conservative base might be feeling about all this about the impeachment process. Well you know what i think is important to talk about in all of this is maybe how there is a division among christians and how they feel about donald trump in the same way that you know the broader american electorate feels about donald trump hes hes a polarizing figure and a lot of this sort of shift in christian viewpoints has a lot to do with generations right so the Younger Generation maybe that has had access to more liberal education tends to be more tolerant of traditionally views that the Christian Community may have been quite conservative on whether its abortion whether its. Even the issue of race so i think that what were seeing here is a reflection of that of a changing Christian Community and in turn their response to the president on what has been a polarizing issue of impeaching Donald Trump Thanks very much from washington can really help. How the 1st online test flight of the new u. S. Spying stalinist space capsule has funded some problems with the rocket failing in its mission of reaching the International Space station and lift off the rise of star like you were human space flight. The atlas 5 rocket carrying the star lineup blasted off successfully from Cape Canaveral but half an hour later reported the capsule was in the wrong obit and used too much fuel starliner is one of the u. S. Projects which aims to end the current reliance on russian rockets to carry people and supplies to the space station.
