Chaos in mali people demanding the president steps down for failing to rein in armed groups and revive the economy. There so. Press the hard youre sophia for Turkish Court rules in favor of turning the popular heritage site into a mosque from a museum. Top story to u. N. Security Council Votes to extend humanitarian aid to syria have failed to pass the 1st was vetoed by russia and china and the 2nd by china the remaining 13 Council Member states voted in favor aid agencies have warned the decision could lead to diet consequences for millions of displaced syrians the u. N. Has said that many people in the countries northwest highly depend on it describing it as a lifeline joining us live this hour diplomatic editor james bays there at the u. N. In new york hi there james what are they trying to achieve here and what can they achieve. Well i think there are different names or different members of the Security Council book clearly in just a matter of hours all the existing authorizations to bring aid from turkey into syria are going to run out and they cant agree on exactly the details of how its going to work Going Forward as you say weve had 2 votes on friday here at the u. N. Remarkably in the last 4 days in total weve had 5 votes on this and on 2 of those occasions 2 permanent members of the Security Council have both used their veto power its a real mess its real deadlock its particularly i think there are a number of sticking points but the main one is on the number of Border Crossings that they can use to bring the aid in and im hearing now that germany and belgium are coming up with another compromise proposal and that seems to be one that would i think mainly. Be a be following the example of russia and one main Border Crossing would continue and the other one would be allowed to wind down over 3 months and you might say that that means that russia and china one russia and china are also wanted language in a resolution about sanctions and the fact that they have on syrias economy at this stage and that would not be in a belgian german resolution i have to say i think its now looking likely because of the time of day and because something new is emerging that were not even going to get a vote on friday may well move into saturday by which time of course the existing permissions to bring aid in will stop it means no aid will come into syria i think almost certainly on on saturday as a result of this can they come up with a compromise a means continue continue again after saturday it still remains a big question james thanks very much. Ok lets take a closer look at the numbers relying on those crossings the u. N. And humanitarian groups say 2800000 people in syrias rebel held north west depend on those 2 passages for aid russia has insisted that only one is necessary the power crossings saying it accounts for 85 percent of a deliveries but the u. S. Says 1300000 People Living north of aleppo depend on the other crossing bubble salaam so is senior at the curb for the middle east Refugees International she joins us from washington. Is it possible for one crossing here to work more effectively than 2 crossings. Yes thank you thank you for having me. So it seems likely right now that the pen holders are going to submit a new draft with on the bubble a lot and so if the seller is creoles basically theres a risk that we see something similar to what happened back in january when russia asked to close at the time crossing into north east syria and based on the experience youre not of the cross climb what we call the cross line aid which is aid coming from damascus to north east. The experience hasnt been very effective and damascus didnt give them 3 later spots to its promise to a city that aids into a mode now with the crossing of the center. Definitely as you mentioned 1300000. 00 people are going to be effected theres still the option of going you know theres the terror the border with turkey but any aid that will come into Northern Ireland will well have to be it will bilateral means so theres no the umbrella of the you and the more is there a strategic issue here with only having one crossing if you only have one crossing of course it becomes a pinch point if its a pinch point does it then become an easy target. In fact what weve been seeing for the probably past 2 years now that the russians basically strategy has been to slowly kill that is an option if we can say so all they believe that you know all the war in syria has end there they want to prevent the Syrian Regime and they want for any cross border aid to stop so they started by closing you know by shortening the cerm of the of the resume lucian and then closing one crossing after the other i definitely see it as a as you said the pinch point to basically end the resolution in 6 months because probably that is a motion would only be new for 6 months were going to face the same dilemma and were going to again face the same you know challenges of whether babel how our will still be or not so we still have in theory i guess 2 potential scenarios here on the table but is there a risk that if it goes to one crossing not to that might yet because you know talking about the ebb and flow of the conflict in syria that might yet in effect be i guess a death sentence for hundreds perhaps thousands of more people. Yes yes for sure i do you know want to bring a little bit of nuance so before 2014. There is allusion that exist and basically what we have is. A cross border aides coming through bilateral relations so it was the understand 3 working through mostly i and ols and syrian n. G. O. S. This is one you might be still possible to be with that main difference that their situations and the conditions and the needs and the displacements to be is much much higher than it when it was in 2014. I wouldnt go as far as saying it suggests sentence but its definitely going to really bring more hardship a push more people into poverty and make the life of people who already suffer suffer tremendously even harder ok well leave it there are fresh thank you so much for joining us from washington thank you thank you thousands of people have been protesting for a 4th day in the serbian capital belgrade over the governments handling of the coronavirus pandemic. Demonstrators threw firecrackers at police who responded with tear gas the testers defied a ban on gatherings of more than 10 people to call in the president alexander which is to resign from his began on tuesday after attempts to reimpose lock down restrictions on friday service was highest daily death toll tally literatures in belgrade she describes how the protests on friday night descended into violence. Everything started when a group of protesters tore down the security fence in front of the National Assembly building and they were provoking Police Officers they were throwing stones on the police but Police Officers kept calm and they didnt respond until a couple of minutes ago and now the situation is quite similar with what weve seen a couple of days ago 2 days ago Police Officers responded with tear gas and there is happening now and the protesters are are persistent they are still in front of the National Assembly building so police is not still fighting the main entrance and but they are spread now all over the city center and i have to say that from today in belgrade every gathering of more than 10 people is forbidden and there is a new measure against the coronavirus joining us live and to me shes a human rights lawyer and the executive director of open Society Foundation serbia he joins us from the capital belgrade millon and to me your bitch welcome to the program how much of an issue is this how much of a political problem is it for mr to church. To be honest we have to see different layers of the protests that are happening now in belgrade one in a larger portion is related to the measures that are introduced suddenly reintroduced and the some uncertainty that part of serbia societys feeling but the violent scenes that u. S. Soil and that your reporter brought across it are linked to who quite a lot of small groups of holy guns who are deployed on the streets we also are posing the question whether Security Forces can control. Can they be a bit more preventive so that we do not see the violent scenes on the on belgrade and whether these behind those those groups there are also a statement. That some of the Security Services are. Foreign Security Services are behind those violent parts of the protests but i believe that the serbian public and the larger should know more on that what are. The reasoning for such a. Such an a conclusion that we have so we had yesterday the 1st the 3rd day ill have the protests where we didnt see any violence on the streets so there is a possibility with the larger control of the protesters who clear out to those 2 messages so that we do an aunt to witness your gas that we cannot witness ok mass arrests arrests and also excessive use of course the 1st and the 2nd. That police are deployed we are asking also for the prosecutor prosecution to respond and to be more active than it is now ok. Some of those protesters the demonstrators telling us here on aljazeera that theyre so angry and what were seeing is their anger because they feel they are being blamed by everyone from the political orbit in your country for everything thats gone wrong is that a fair interpretation of the accusations and the claims that are being leveled at them. There are large segments of them serve in society that do not have their messages transferred to political life i would remind you that in the recent elections we had a little bit less than 50 percent of serbian population voting so there is a large portion of the citizen that do not see their options in the groups that were participating in these elections also it is bringing quite a lot of uncertainty different messages coming from and from the government coming from different sources and we also are questioning the number fishel numbers all of the people in both effected there and free access to information is something that we have to see on a daily basis in order to regain the trust into the into the situation so there are a lot of layers as i said at the beginning but. Also Security Forces should be able to control we not its 1 oclock in the morning and just i think 15 minutes ago we have a final step so the protests on the streets of belgrade. The rest of the groups of hooligans who are staying on the streets we are talking about hundreds of them who are. Citing the violence and provoking police and getting the response from the from the Police Others a majority of the protesters not want to participate in that final stage and messages are also very very interesting some of them are related to. Institutionalise to certainty and covet and everything i mentioned but there is a lot of messages that are reminding us on the negotiations between great and not so a lot of the friend groups are putting their their agenda on would be ok we have to leave it there and to me a bitch thank you very much thank you very much yourself for your time.
