And sports breakout season has hit a new high the chin is in breaking world number 3 carlina prescription reached the quarterfinals but. We begin this news with a decisive battle in syria rebel forces are desperately trying to hold out against a government offensive in a key town and if the province a stream of Turkish Military reinforcements to support the rebels is moving toward the front line city of socket Opposition Forces captured sarka of a nice reversing one of the main gains of the governments devastating russian backed offensive in the region. Is in the outskirts of the city of santa with more. Let me. In for all of you about what in that they live here we are exactly on the m 4 highway connecting aleppo with latakia this highway leads to the Meeting Point with the international attempt 5 highway connecting aleppo and damascus so i could see these the point where both the highways connect but then the circle of the. Stargate to our right was captured this morning by the armed opposition having seized control of the city the armed opposition is now in total control of the strategic highways however air strikes are still carried out by both the russian and syrian regimes fighter jets targeting the city on its outskirts. For the family of a false as you have just seen it was an air strike on the city the armed opposition who is now in control of sarek of city and both the highways say they killed a large number of the Regime Forces inside the city we can also see that plume of smoke as a result of the airstrike aerial bombardment has not stopped on the contrary it has intensified as i said earlier both the highways are now cut off by the armed opposition but it is a big win and a massive advance for the opposition to seize control of seraglio along with a number of its neighboring villages. Well as we heard there stark it is important and if we look at the map we can see why whoever controls the m 4 and to employ of highways gains Critical Military and economic advantages the m 5 in particular links aleppo with damascus to the south and theres growing red areas are controlled by the government the shrinking green and green area is rebel territory yellow in the north and the west is controlled by the kurds. Or has more now on the flight in from on turkeys border with syria. This is job but i leave out on the streets of stark for the rebel commander this is just the beginning of a long push to recapture lost territory yes and after that then after his back on that old control we have managed to evict Syrian Army Russian ally and progovernment militias from soccer i want to assure our people that we will liberate all the cities of syria and if you did that the thought. But for the rebels to hold ground may be challenging the city is located on 2 highways in for an empire which linked damascus to go and northeastern syria. So in Government Troops and russian fighter jets are striking rebel positions preventing them from reinforcing their lines of defense. Moment of triumph for the rebels this is their 1st significant military gain in months. To get the opposition has lost many strongholds and retreated north allowing the syrian army to advance to words live city and as Government Troops close in thousands of civilians flee the offensive has displaced almost 1000000 people and created the worst humanitarian situation since the start of the conflict in syria 9 years ago. Turkey insists its military intervention is so little in short a cease fire is implemented and syrian troops pull back behind the Demilitarized Zone in it globe the developments on the ground in our favor but on the other hand the regimes losses are very big 3 of our soldiers have been killed let them rest in peace but there is no time to deal with this now negotiations with the russians will continue however we are operating in it lope with the i dont agree. Ament along with the 911 kilometer border we are safe guarding our country we will continue to operate in syria backing Syrian Rebels and told we win the war turkish officials are in talks with russia to get access to the space in northwestern syria a demand that has been so far brushed aside by moscow which accuses uncut are of undermining peace efforts its unclear at this stage if the rebels attack is part of a large scale military campaign backed by turkey in the province of idlib and rural but the capture of saddam is likely to create momentum among rebel fighters who have suffered a series of setbacks recently asked about al jazeera. As has mentioned the conflict is feeling i hear about a terror and crisis. Situation in. The United Nations says nearly a 1000000 people have been forced from their homes since december theyre trapped between heavy fighting and the closed border with turkey. As the army comes close to us here and we have pressured the people here in the camps. We all going to turkey even if they kill us we want to go to turkey and the turks should be prepared to welcome 5 to 6000000 people coming all at once. According to the u. N. More than half of the internally displaced are children and this winter has been unusually cold some infants are reported to have frozen to death or suffocated in tents with their parents as they all tried to keep warm this is the worst wave of displacement weve seen during the syrian conflict with the harsh winter conditions in a glib we see people trapped isolated and running out of ways to cope. In recent days russian back to syrian air strikes have increased hospitals blood banks and schools have been destroyed turkish president recep tayyip or the one has not suggested that the border will be reopened. We are not going to take even a little step back in the ad lib we will push the syrian Regime Forces out of the areas that weve designated and let people return back to their houses many have lost their homes in the u. N. Estimates some families have been displaced 10 times those trying to flee across the border with turkey face a concrete wall topped with barbed wire. To move a good out of the people are taking refuge in the turkish wall but why is the wall here is it to prevent families from entering their women and children their elderly people why dont they allow children in the main can stay here and fight but the children the women let them in. Many people like these are desperate to escape the fighting and if a safe passage is not created they will remain trapped leah harding aljazeera. Spokeswoman for save the children in the middle east she says children are the true victims of the ongoing war. Its very important to remember that there are individuals behind the numbers and the come in this place now and many of these and then the joins are actually the more than 60 percent of the people of the space its ok so more than half a 1000000 and a couple of days ago there were multiple attacks on 10 schools in the city and children died we received totals and story from a pocket on the ground about a small girl who was walking back from school and she died and the photo was of who bloodied back on the ground. A few days we heard the story of. 3 and 4 years old who died when their hands burned down they were with their mother then burns on her body issue with back in and so that is out of the story is that we hear of every single day stories of people who cannot after 9 years of a war keep on living in a way that they can fight next month and march we will enter the 10th year of the war and its just unbelievable to keep on seeing every single day children dying so they can being displaced a whole generation and missing out on school on education i do not know how the would expect this generation to get better if one day that its b. S. But then have been told my thighs have suffered the loss of loved ones Family Friends have not gone to school for years how are they supposed to syria.

What is happening in northwest syria they said is beyond imagination it is not humanity tolerable they taught me of children so traumatized they no longer speak one of the women who works as a midwife in its leper city told me she can see how the intensely stressful situation is impacting her patients early deliveries miscarriages and low weight births are on the rise pregnant women are asking her for the syrian deliveries out of fear of going into labor while on the move and without medical care our latest Data Available indicate that almost 950000 people have fled the advancing front lines in the north west since december the 1st most have moved into the north west of it lepper governorate a small area along syrias border with turkey that already hosts hundreds of thousands of displaced people many of these exhausted families have moved over and over and over again all amid freezing conditions the women from is described to me the day to day reality of living in this overcrowded environment one has found shelter in a basement with 15 other adults and 20 children there is no privacy some women told me they could no they could not change their clothes for weeks violence against women they said has become routine with the president the secretary general has stated that International Humanitarian law and the protection of civilians have been systematically ignored he warned that the fighting is now advancing into areas with the highest concentrations of people. Hospitals schools camps and other sites where displaced families have sort of shelter are not being spared in the last 10 days a camp hosting more than 800 people was hit by shelling indiana which is now the most crowded of the sub districts of it live governorate it lip Central Hospital was among several facilities struck this week causing multiple injuries and casualties operations at the facility had to be suspended except for medical for emergency medical treatment mr president a massive humanitarian operation is underway in northwest syria in january Food Assistance for some 1400000 people was delivered via the cross border mechanism as where Health Supplies for almost half a 1000000 people and nonfood items for more than 230000 people that is more than in any other month since the cross border operation was authorized in 2014 despite these immense efforts the women in it lip told me that simply getting food clean water and heating is a daily struggle mr president the cross border modality is absolutely essential to our response in the northwest people in need and it lip cannot currently be reached at this scale in such a timely and direct manner through any other means as a secular general stated the Security Council has a Critical Role to play in support of these humanitarian efforts i think donors for generously contributing over 100000000 dollars this month alone toward our 500000000. 00 appeal for the humanitarian response over the next 5 months in the northwest. This includes the release of 42000000. 00 from the Central Emergency Response Fund which the president i would now like to turn to the situation in the north east in north east syria civilians remain extremely vulnerable over the past weeks renewed hostilities in and around tel tomorrow district have displaced an additional 1600 civilians to come initially while another 800 people have arrived in iraq. This adds to the hundreds of thousands of people already displaced in north east syria across the north east an estimated 1900000 people require humanitarian assistance the majority 1340000 people are in areas outside of Syrian Government control mr president in the 2nd half of 2019 the United Nations and its humanitarian partners scaled up the response in the north east reaching hundreds of thousands of people with supplies from within syria and through the yard will be a Border Crossing by of the cross border modality non the less significant were listening there to assistant secretary general for humanitarian affairs. Whos speaking to an open session of the u. N. Security council just to recap what shes been saying she says 950000 people have fled fighting in northwest syria since december many of those people had already fled other parts of syria talked about families being forced to shelter wherever they can and that violence against women has become routine lets go live now to gabriel is on though who is that the United Nations gave there are so many warnings about what would happen and it lead if assad forces advance and now the u. N. Security council is hearing the worst is happening. Yeah they are nursling millers leaving little berry little to the imagination in these early stages of this briefing to the Security Council really laying out in really sure been in detail of the human suffering that is happening in northwest syria as you mention confirming for the 950000 people displaced just since early december also giving anecdotes about how u. N. Teams have spoken to children there that are so shocked and horrified and traumatized by the events taking place that they cant even speak so this is a normal. Every very normal briefing that happens once a month on the managerial situation in syria but this one is taking on significant more urgency because of the deteriorating situation there and were seeing that because the German Foreign minister is attending this meeting thats heikal mosse as well as the belgian deputy Prime Minister who is actually. Leading this meeting why those 2 countries there that co pen holders on the humanitarian situation in syria what that means is essentially that they are the 2 countries on the Security Council that are in charge of the uns humanitarian file on syria we did hear from heiko mosse the German Foreign minister for just a few minutes before the meeting began and before he went in and he just in very brief comments said that they need to get together to figure out how to get humanitarian aid to the people that need it the most and also called on all countries to figure out how to reach some sort of cease fire in terms of this meeting that were seeing right here at the Security Council as youre seeing there were hearing from the 6 systems secretary. Of humanitarian affairs were also. Expected to hear from the head of unicef was expected to lay out the very dire situation for children in northwest syria and then were expected hear from all of the Security Council members as well as at the end of the meeting representatives from turkey and syria as well so this meeting could go on for a very long time but clearly its very urgent the sort of what were hearing from this report from u. N. Officials to Security Council members. Deborah i was on with a lot from the United Nations thank you. What a close is travel restrictions and trade routes suspended governments are imposing ever tougher measures to control the spread of coronavirus in the middle east saudi arabia is halting these is full of the pilgrimage and restricting tourists travel from affected countries iraq has closed schools and universities and banned public gatherings as well as flights from several countries and iran 26. 00 people have died but on trial meanwhile has promised the u. S. Government will spend whatever is needed to deal with the outbreak hes put Vice President mike pence in charge of americas response when europe is confirmed its 12th death theres been a 2nd in france overall 82000 infections have now been recorded in 44 countries and territories well the head of the World Health Organization says we could be on the brink of a Global Pandemic we had a. Decisive point for the past 2 days the number of new cases reported in the rest of the world has exceeded the number of new cases reported from china. And in the past 24 hours 7 countries have reported cases for the 1st time lets go now to tehran joins us from there via skype zain whats the latest in iran weve seen a somewhat spike in numbers whats the latest thats right just in the last few hours weve been able to confirm 2 more deaths this time increases down province that brings the total death toll since the start of this outbreak was announced here in iran to 28 earlier this morning the spokesman for the Health Ministry in his Daily Briefing said in the last 24 hours 106 new cases had been discovered 106 new people have contracted the corona virus in less than in a matter of 24 hours the total number of affected people is now at 245. 00 and that is nationwide and includes senior members of irans government saying the World Health Organization has just in the past hour also spoken about the high death right in iran what messes are in place there and can the Health System cope. Well a run in leaders would have you believe that they are capable of dealing with this Health Crisis on their own certainly president rouhani is taking the lead in trying to gain back the public message there was very much lost in the beginning of this outbreak due to a lack of public trust everybody here in the country many people were criticizing the government for not responding seriously enough or quickly enough the president rouhani would through all of his public engagements through all of the different public statements made by leaders here they would have you believe that iraq has a handle on this they have a robust medical industry that they say has been true what inger around the clock to produce medical equipment and items like gloves and face masks to help deal with this as well as test kits for the coronavirus and the Health Ministry during their briefing today announced that dozens of people out of hundreds that have been quarantined in what is ground 0 for this virus here in iran so the city of clone dozens of people have been treated and released back into the public on their own kinds and so we are seeing the government react robustly however this is a global outbreak and that there are problems that would make it difficult for there to be a Global Response here in iran it is sanctioned country so there are not those diplomatic channels that it could perhaps invoke in for instance working closely with the center for Disease Control in the United States the preeminent organization known globally for being able to tackle these kinds of problems those diplomatic channels simply dont exist so iran does not have that luxury but it is if it is being facilitated by china china has lifted a number of test kits as well as other medical equipment to iran to help cope with this outbreak the World Health Organization is also facilitating the shipment of medical equipment will it be enough there it is still it is too soon to tell one of the main issues that iran has faced is that it needs public cooperation to try to stem the transfer of this disease within the population now due to a loss of public trust and how iran has dealt with a number of crises since the beginning of the year by trying to control. Information to maintain the good of the state there has been a loss of the trust Health Minister earlier today complaining that people were not staying in one place and travelling to other parts of the country from the capital to run against government can. They describe it there across developments in iran from tehran back to south korea has confirmed another 505 cases meaning its overtaken china and new daily inspection numbers sarah clarke reports on the situation in southeast asia.

S. Service members were prioritized in making this decision the largest daily increase in the number of infections has been in a city in the southeast where church at the center of the outbreak is located as the virus spreads the government has postponed some annual school exams and is asking people to avoid large crowds around 40 countries and now restricting travelers from south korea if. It gives them you know the government feels very sorry that our citizens have gone through the inconvenience in the process of entering Foreign Countries due to the countrys sudden entry restriction measures. The epicenter of the outbreak you bury remains under lockdown while cities in the rest of china a slowly returning to work china reported the last death toll in a month on thursday the number of infections rose slightly. The 1st case happened in china but that doesnt mean the source is in china the foreign prediction of when this will be contained says end of may or june we think it will be the end of april. But some countries are not taking any risks a struggle has gone one step further than the World Health Organization declaring the current virus a Global Pandemic and electing an Emergency Response plan we believe that the risk of a Global Pandemic is very much upon us and as a result as a government we need to take the steps necessary to prepare for such pandemic schools here in hong kong have been closed since january and were mine shut until at least the 20th of april japan 2 has announced it will shut all schools until march china may be optimistic it can contain the outbreak by boat but the virus is spreading faster outside many countries and im not taking any risks sarah clarke aljazeera hong kong.

So this is the area shown by one of the hardest hit in those 4 days of violence people here are both muslim and hindu so both sides of the fence of the divide have been suffering here but at the moment now were seeing a big show of force thats what they call in a show and tell a Senior Police commissioner is meeting the local people to assess what the situation is and trying to restore calm i have to say 24 hours of peace has changed the whole aspect of whats going on in northeast delhi people are a little bit more short reassured people are coming back but what theyre coming back to his scenes like this youre seeing rubble devastation burnt out buildings but its burnt out buildings and devastation has affected both hindu and muslim communities weve spoken to people here theyre of lost everything businessmen have had shops that were destroyed and people who have suffered with loved ones being injured more than 250 people have been injured and the death toll is about more than 30 people now but here we having a situation where the commission is coming but the police here have received criticism for not stepping in earlier and doing something to stop the carnage and the devastation so people are slowly coming back to their districts in finding seems like this but the impetus now is going to the courts and people are now going to the courts to find out who started this who incited this and who should be charged and the police said they have about 100. 00 people in custody no one has been charged yet we dont know yet who is responsible for the deaths of all those people all the injuries but these are inquiries that will have to go on people are asking questions why it took so long for the powell Mission Forces to come onto the streets and restore order and wait took so long for their Prime Minister to hand remoting to actually offer some words and call for calm. The un has criticized saudi arabias human rights record and demanded the release of Political Prisoners at a briefing in geneva the uns top human rights commissioner called for transparency around Legal Proceedings relating to the murder of journalist to marcus sheltie. This is the high level session of the Human Rights Council and michelle by chalet the commissioner for human rights was laying out what she saw as the problems around the world she had very pointed comments about saudi arabia remember saudi arabia is the only arab member of the g 20 and its been chosen to host this years g. 20 summit but she said with regard to human rights there were obligations that had to i encourage religious that the frameworks to app called freedom of expression Peaceful Assembly and association for all and reviews of the jets and of those who have been convicted for expressing their opinions including human read the fenders religious leaders and journalist i call for the release of several women who have legitimately and peacefully demand reforms of this Community Policies in the country i also call for full transparency in the ongoing procedures and comprehensive accountability regarding the murder of a journalist yeah. She talks about transparency clearly saudi arabia says its pursuing judicial proceedings in that case but very limited access form any International Diplomats no access from the media its worth remembering the un itself hasnt decided to open an investigation the u. N. Secretary general said that needed to be done by one of the main bodies of the United Nations and none of actually done that the only investigation has been from an independent expert who works from for the Human Rights Council agnes cullum are the special rapporteurs and she said saudi arabia as a state was criminally liable. The British Government has declared it wont commit to following a year rules in a post breaks a trade deal and is threatening to walk away from talks is early as june if it sees no hope of a compromise the u. K. Has been setting out its red lines 2 days after e. U. Ministers approved their own joint approach to the negotiations so the whole is in london and he says the opposing demands from both sides will make negotiations difficult. The government has here given notice that the political declaration is no longer the blueprint it intends to follow the blueprint will be rather the election manifesto that Boris Johnson wants or handsomely on in december that commits the government to seek whats called a canada style free trade arrangement 0 tariffs 0 quotas and enough regulator a divergence from e. U. Rules and laws to allow britain to do trade deals with other big economies like the United States the e. U. Simply see this see this as the u. K. Trying to have the best of both worlds both preferential access to its markets and watering down its laws and regulations and i think in the months ahead this is a problem that is going to be difficult. To square there are different schools of thoughts on on this as a sort of good Case Scenario or best Case Scenario and a worst Case Scenario in the end remember that the canada deal socalled was struck over many years these things take time and time is something that isnt on the table the best Case Scenario here is that they reach some sort of basic trade deal by the end of the year covering goods or some sectors of goods at least with other deals to come in months and years ahead in other sectors of the economy the worst Case Scenario as some see it is that theres no deal in december 31st the end of the transition period that theres no extension to that period and therefore the to break up on w t o lines World Trade Organization rules tariffs structures are put into place immediately that will be bad news for british manufacturers and exporters but a price the government here says its worth is worth paying in the interests of being able to. Get the holy grail if you like trade deals with other economies. South sudans warring sides partially formed a Transitional Government last saturday but a crucial part of the 20th peace deal uniting the armed forces is yet to be completed now some troops are abandoning their camps because conditions are so poor there is have a morgan has this report from. A call to line up for military exercises is something these soldiers are used to but for the past 2 months the south sudanese troops have been training alongside other armed groups some of whom they once fought on the battlefield during south sudans civil war that were here to get the. Unified theres no different in all of theres no eye or theres no. Plan theres no shower. Well. Some of these fighters gathered here are parts of the Government Forces others come from the main armed opposition called the Sudan Peoples Liberation Movement in opposition and a few from the armed group known as south sudans Opposition Alliance this is one of the 16 such camps around the country where the fighters are trying to form a unified National Army it was set up after 2800. 00 peace deal to end the 5 year long conflict thats killed nearly 400000 people and displaced a 3rd of the countrys 12000000 population but the deal states that 41500 out of the 83000 forces from the working sites are to be trained before the formation of a Transitional Government thats government was partially formed last weekend when 5 Vice President s were sworn in this Training Camp in the west of south sudan holds about 1500 soldiers from the 3 different sides but theyre not an equal numbers even though theyre supposed to be the opposition says transporting soldiers from their areas to the camps is difficult and thats just one of the many issues affecting the training and reunification of the forces. So just the complex many basic needs making life inside hard. There is no medicine and we sleep in the open where its cold and the needs for female soldiers a not match there is no water sometimes and there is no place to sleep and we train in our slippers and sometimes barefoot which is hard and we dont have uniforms. The joint monitoring and Evaluation Commission the body tossed with monitoring the implementation of the deal as you quoted that since the training sites were established hundreds of soldiers have abandoned them due to poor conditions shortage of funds is another big challenge the government government made a pledge of 100000000. 00 which we felt would be sufficient to do this initial training on fortunately not all of those resources are come from the government even received about 60000000. 00 of which the 100000000. 00 so we continue to encourage the government to make available those remaining funds so that we can really see an improvement in those conditions within those training centers. A well trained and disciplined army is crucial for south sudans transitional period and to avoid a return to war soldiers here say they want to be part of a united army but how soon thats happens depends on those leaving them and the country he will morgan ill just.
