Workers. We meet orphans caught up in the fighting in Eastern Ukraine even though there is supposed to be a ceasefire. Sports story this friday six months ahead of the rio olympics one of the most successful countries kenya could find itself ban from the games. Right now its only an agreement on paper and wont result in a complete ceasefire or an end to russian bombing, following a marathon meeting in germany world powers have settled on what they are calling a cessation of hostilities in syria beginning in a weeks time. One priority is delivering food, medicine and shelter to besieged towns and cities and james base reports from munich. Reporter 19 delegations the sponsors of International Peace efforts in syria gathering in an effort to get things back on track. But the most important meeting happens several hours early on the 15th floor of the same munich hotel, this is where Russian Foreign minister Sergei Fedorov and u. S. Secretary of state john kerry came facetoface. And if you look at those faces you can tell from the very start this was a difficult meeting. The russians proposed a ceasefire from march the first but the u. S. Said that would mean three weeks more aerial bombardment and called for it to begin as early as this weekend. When they finally addressed the media it was in the early hours of the munich morning and it was clear neither man got exactly what he wanted but instead they had an ambitious target of one week which to stop the violence. We have a nationwide cessation of hostilities to begin in a target of one weeks time. That is ambitious but everyone is determined to move as rapidly as possible to try to achieve this. This will apply to any and all parties in syria with the exception of the terrorist organizations, daesh, and alnusra. Reporter they said a joint task force would be set up to range the cessation of hostilities and another one on getting humanitarian aid to those in most desperate need would meet for the first time in geneva. These are the list of areas and people who are in need and the numbers of them. Now, the issg has told us, told the u. N. , you are in charge in launching this initiative with our support. Reporter this was a very long and often difficult series of meetings. What they have achieved reads well on paper but the big test now will be turning it into reality on the ground. James base, al jazeera, munich. Just hours after that announcement on Syria Russian Air strikes reportedly killed 18 people in northern homs providence, the area has been pounded in resent days and Government Forces close in on rebel held areas and u. N. Warns that 120,000 people are at risk of starvation and disease in and around homs and dana is near the turkeysyria border, the latest action in homs shows how difficult this is all going to be. What are people saying about the deal and the problems that could face them . Well, yes, we have managed to speak to people inside syria, members of the opposition as well as outside. Undoubtedly they welcome any deal that will relieve the suffering on the ground. The latest offensive in aleppo according to the u. N. Displaced 50,000 people, those people living, many of them really out in the open, they left their homes with nothing and they need aid in order to survive. Now that is just aleppo province. Like you mentioned air strikes continuing in the northern providence of homs and when you talk to activists there they believe the next few days they are going to see an ex escalation of the violence on the ground because what they believe is that the Syrian Government and their backgrounder russia wants to change power and weaken opposition as much as possible not just on the ground but the negotiating table and them and the russian government really are more interested in bringing about a surrender and not any compromise or political settlement to the conflict. Already the u. N. Is warning that 120,000 people in the homs countryside could be facing the risk of starvation, illness, disease because the rebel supply lines into that territory have now been cut. Like all eyes really have been on the violence in aleppo but even in the southern providence the government has been trying to make further gains, now in negotiations with rebels in two towns along a strategic highway and want them to surrender and this really has been the policy, they believe the tactic has been bomb areas, depopulate them or lay siege to areas and force them to surrender so people are skeptical and say over the past few years there have been attempts to implement a ceasefire on the ground and it never held and expecting more violence in the coming days. Thank you for that and russias Prime Minister has warned that sending Ground Troops to syria could result in world war and the comments were published in a german newspaper in response to saudi arabias proposal last week to send Ground Troops to syria and lets talk about this more as chairman of the Russian Society of the arab countries and joins us now from moscow and he is predicting a world war and know that r saudi arabia wants to send in troops, is this really what he means . I can say russians military presence with the air and cosmic forces was locations in latakia, our rockets and our airplanes they are prevented from spreading syrian war more and more. First of all it was prevented from any foreign intervention that was planned by turkey and before this intervention russia entered according to the demand of the lego government we see assad is the authority and presented in russians in the diplomatic political relations with syria at all. And that is why russia helped Syrian Arab Army to prevent any foreign intervention to syria. I think the desperation is absolutely a new picture. Can i come in, i understand what russia is thinking with Bashar Alassad is concerned but im asking you what they are predicting if saudi arabia does indeed put Ground Troops there and all of this in light of the deal of the cessation of hostilities which we expect in a week, how is this going to work . Well, russia came to this conclusion after watching the situation. The situation in syria, with Syrian Government, situation with opposition groups, with quality of turkey over iran and jordan and arab world. I think that all these considerations were taken commonly and they come to the conclusion unnecessary to help, to save syria as a state. Our mission is not invasion, not destroying and i reject absolutely that our army, our airforces are fighting serial population, its not true. We had a bombing in the last couple hours where 18 people were killed, what is that if the syrian population has not been affected by this . Well, syria population die if they found themselves between two sides, fighting sides, between some military groups and between syrian army who is trying to beat all these groups. I think that the main thing is to stop killing, to stop killing fundamentally, what it was achieved in the munich today and to negotiate, to find political solution so we found that only nusra or daesh had to be out of this list of organizations, they should be connected and to negotiate. I think that all oppositional groups right now should understand there is no alternative to political solution and what it has made in new york to 254 and 253 is an unchangeable position that today in munich its unchangeable position. After one week and consultations with military groups opposition should come together and discuss who is ready to stop fighting. All right, stop fighting is the key. Agree we stop fighting and the enemies will be destroyed i understand the result of munich. Thanks very much for your time. Russia is also prepared to send help to the government to help with the fight against i. S. I. L. , a message delivered by the deputy Prime Minister as he visited baghdad. Translator in response to iraqs request for more military aid we will respond with the exchange of information.

Four white farmers accused of killing two black farm workers appeared in court in south africa and victims families said the men went to ask for wages ode to them but the farmers say they were being robbed and acted in selfdefense and we are outside the courthouse. Reporter the trial has been adjou adjourned. People outside the court are protesting, renting various sides and fighting behind me they are representing the black farmers who were killed. The police have been separating the sides apart using barb wire because of clashes and they also are representing the black farmers who were killed. Behind me is another barb wire and some white farmers and citizens also protesting and supporting the white farmers accused of killing the two black farmers and this is how the whole story started. When the police said her son samuel had been shot and killed she was devastated and says earlier that day samuel told her he was going to collect salary from his boss, a South African farmer in the town of perez. Translator they didnt just shoot him. He was tortured. When i saw his body it looked like he had been hacked by a knife, cut in many places. Then someone ran over him with a c c car. Reporter more details will come out during the trial, some farmers in the area said they heard there was an attempted robbery. This has nothing to do with racism. All the farmers were at their homes after election of a days work and they get an emergency call, they respond. So everything was 100 so two people lose their lives. What went wrong there is not for me to say. The case must be investigated. Reporter in south africa violence on farms is relatively common and the problem appears to be getting worse. Many farms are isolated and far from police stations, farmers are taking extra precautions and have their own farmer Neighborhood Watch and patrols and Civil Rights Organization says that last year there were 318 violent incidents on farms. 64 farmers and workers were murdered. So far this year there have been 26 reported attacks in january. 6 people have been killed. Some experts say the reasons for the violence are complicated. We believe there is more to it. Its not only about race, obviously race does play a role due to the history of our country, due to the huge inequality in our country also we believe that the economy that the weaken economy puts people in strain and frustration and out flow of it but the out flow of it for example is violence, is crime and Security Issues that affect all South Africans. Reporter but whether this latest incidents was something that began as an argument over wages. I want them to pay. Reporter or was criminally motivated it wont bring her son back. She insists samuel was a farm worker and wants someone accountable for his death, al jazeera, south africa. Police in greece have fired tear gas to disburse protesting farmers in athens for almost three weeks and blocked roads and highways outside the capitol before bringing anger to the city on friday. Lets get the latest from lee barker who is in athens and tear gas and rocks were thrown, what happened . Reporter well, this is outside the ministry of agriculture where a short while ago crowds of farmer whose have gathered here on this square tried to push their way in the ministry of agricultural and pushed back by riot police and tear gas lingering in the air. If we move over here a little bit we can see some of the protesting farmers set fire to have been here effectively blockading the center of the city, this key thorough fair through athens. This of course is literally just the start of what is expected to be a 24 or 48hour period of protests. Many more farmers are descending on athens from across the country and plenty a short while ago we joined several hundred farmers on their way from a city of current in the west, many farmers from across joined the group and no doubt will be here in athens very soon. A little earlier on we saw large numbers of farmers arriving at the port a short distance from the capitol again, they are marching as we speak on athens to take part in what is expected to be a very, very large demonstration against the series of Economic Reforms that many farmers say are likely to leave them destitute. I was going to ask you more about their complaints and also if those people who have been affected by these protests are sympathetic towards these farmers. Reporter of course athens and greece as a whole is no stranger to demonstrations and of course the greek people have been through a tremendous amount when it comes to all of the austerity measures introduced here over the last few years but last year the greek government signed an agreement with its foreign lenders, with the imf, with the eu finance ministers but in return for a 96 billion dollar bailout they would introduce a series of reforms, reforms that include alterations and changes to the way in which pensions are calculated, for many of these farmers they say they will now have to pay a tremendous amount into their Pension Funds and on top of all the extra expenses that come with running small and medium sized farms many say they are literally on their fridges and on edge of poverty if in deed these changes if these reforms do end up getting past. The greek government offered negotiations but currently what the greek government is offering is not anything that these farmers are willing to accept. Thank you for that lee barker.

This is the ukraine and Army Front Line in another village close to what was the airport of the separatist controlled city of donetsk and heavy weapons are supposed to have been withdrawn as part of the minsk deal but both sides accuse each other of breaking that agreement almost everyday. This area has seen some of the fierce fighting since the conflict began and now the Ukrainian Army tell us that the separatists regularly target their positions here using antitank weapons and mortars and also tell us that the two towers there on the horizon are about 2 1 2 kilometers away and say the separatists use those towers as look out posts and sniper positions and moved 78yearold grandmother to so called safety four times since the fighting started.

Heavy snowfall is causing widespread problems across india and kashmir and jamu and brought relief from a long spell of dry weather the snow blocked roads and caused some minor land slides. Workers were seen lighting bonfires to keep themselves warm as they try to clear the snow away and wonder how long the snow will stay there and maybe you can tell us. Reporter its moving away but not completely dry. If we look at the satellite picture we see there is an area of cloud here drifting its way to the east currently working to afghanistan and tailing across parts of pakistan as well. Its fizzling out as it edges its way to the east but there is a risk we could see a flurry of snow there through the next couple of days and elsewhere across india and sri lanka fine and dry. Out to the east here we have cold weather but now its got a lot warmer but its also rather murky and some of that low cloud gave us a bit old drizzle and you can see the people with umbrellas and also gave us a lot of midst and low clouds and pretty dismal the conditions at the moment in hong kong and that is really how things are going to stay as we head through the day on saturday as well. Further north though that cloud is pulling itself together and we will see a fair amount of rain from it and some f it is likely to be rather heavy and shanghai warm 18 degrees maximum but rather wet and at times pretty windy.

I voted for reform in 2007 and sanders voted against it at that time. When was saw children coming from these horrendously violent areas of honduras and neighboring countries are people who are fleeing drug violence and Cartel Violence i thought it was a good idea to allow those children to stay in this country. That was not as i understand it the secretarys position. Reporter they also argued over the causes of systemic racism in the u. S. And sanders says it favors wealthy elite and clinton says they are institutional and when it comes to supporting americas first black president clinton went on the attack. Today senator sanders said that president obama failed the president ial leadership test and this is not the first time that he has criticized president obama.

Welcome back to the news hour, these are our top stories russian air strikes reportedly killed 18 people in syria just hours before a u. N. Task force meeting on humanitarian aid. World powers have pledged to end hostilities within a week. Greece fired tear gas at farmers holding an antiausterity protest in athens and hundreds in the city streets and angry at governments plans to bring new austerity measures as demanded by the lenders in greeces bail out and four farmers accused of killing to black farm workers appeared in a south African Court and the men were asking for wages owed to them when they were murdered by the farmers say they were being robbed. Lets return to the top story and take a closer look at the humanitarian crisis in syria which the u. N. Says gets worse everyday and its highlighting the dire situation in madaya and more and just outside damascus has been surrounded by Government Troops since december, 35,000 civilians have endured intense shelling, infants are among those who died from malnutrition and madaya 26 people died from malnutrition this year alone and hundreds need evacuation and 200,000 are living under an i. S. I. L. Imposed siege where fighters have reportedly executed people trying to smuggling in food. Despite recent aid deliveries to the villages the situation remains grim for 20,000 people. They are under siege by the armed group alshum and the alnusra front and we have a middle east director at the Norwegian Council and good to have you on the show and what do you make of the deal that has been signed, the aim is for some sort of humanitarian relief, is it going to work . Thats indeed what we all hope for. I think the figures you just showed how important and desperate its needed to have a resolution, a political solution to stop the fighting, to stop the suffering of people in syria and the good news we have heard this morning is indeed what we have been waiting for for years. I think this is what desperate people of syria where millions of women, children and men has been living under be siegement, under daily bombardment, et cetera, et cetera and we need this deal and we cross our fingers and raise our hopes that these will be implemented swiftly. Now, say it is implemented, say it does work and there is a cessation of hostilities what is it that groups like you will be doing and other aid workers to get aid to those who need it the most . Well, of course what is the imperative here is that access is provided, unhindered and safely and of course the entire humanitarian community is ready to continue and scale up its support to the people of syria. We have seen on going reports of starvation, of terrible bombardments, et cetera, et cetera so of course more needs to be done but this is what the humanitarian community is tailored to do and ready in a joint effort to do so. And how long do you think you need to reach all those who need your help because as we point out a little earlier some of these places are inaccessible. Correct. And, again, we have to go back to the deal because the deal has to be effectuated and have to see how its going to be implemented and the good news and the good thing we have seen but action needs to be taken so that has to be enforced and we are following this very closely. We are having our hopes high but we also have our concerns that it is indeed extremely important that everyone applies to this in a coherent manner. And i guess its important for you not to take your eye off the neighboring countries that are looking after the Syrian Refugees who have left the count country. Indeed, that work is ongoing. I think we also have to keep our eye on the fact that the deal seems not to cover the entire syria so we will still have millions of people in areas who are without access to humanitarian aid because that part is not covered on this deal it seems. Well, i hope your wish is granted and you do get aid to those who need it. Thanks for talking to us. We do hear a lot about the numbers and statistics when reporting about just how bad things are for millions of syrians. Now as part of our special series through a parents eyes and escaped tells al jazeera her story. Translator i am mohamed, we are from the countryside north of aleppo. We lost absolutely everything. There is no work. No home left. Nothing at all. We called over barb wire to get across for the sake of the children. My husband couldnt find any work so to feed the children and rent a home i took on a cleaning job. These are my children. And he was born with holes in his heart and had surgery to fix it but his growth is stunted and made things harder for me because i cant send him out to work. Then she looks after her brothers when i go out. She changes him and feeds him. I cant let her go to school because she needs to look after her brothers. He is the naughty one and exhausts me and his father. Then there is mohamed, he had a hernia recently. At the hospital they told me he needs an operation and really, really worried about him. I had another son. He had holes in his heart too but he was much weaker and god took his soul. In syria they couldnt go to school because of the bombings and risk of kidnap. Here i dont send them to school because its so far and we cant afford the transport. I was really worried about my children. The air strikes, the bombings, everything, we lived in so much fear i couldnt keep them in syria any more. I told my children that the crisis is only temporary and that it will all be over and we can go home soon. I hope they dont blame me for not giving them an education because im doing the best that i can. They will have a normal life when they go back to syria. I want them to grow up and understand life in our country, god willing.

Reporter indonesia people pay some highest prices in the world for beef and largely to lack of supply, farms are small and its expensive to move cattle between the thousands of islands. And we traveled to the west to witness the animals long and harrowing journeys. Reporter bull sporting a ferry for a week long boat ride to jakarta and made 13 stops along the way and each one the price went up. The government allowed them to speed up the process and reduce high transport costs introducing the subsidized ferry and paying national transport, they are forced to accept the lower price but so far they have refused to do so. Translator wants to reduce the price of beef, that is impossible. Even with one thousand bulls a week that is high demand the price can go down. Its like throwing salt into the sea. Reporter supply has turned the beef into a luxury item with one of the highest prices for a kilo, to keep up with demand they import hundreds of thousands of cows every year from australia. The government now hopes that cattle ferries can transport more bulls so imports can be reduced. These cows have become a symbol of National Pride with indonesia trying to be less dependent on australia they want to be self sufficient in beef production but experts say often cheap transport for cows wont be enough to achieve this. As long as he has been a cattle farmer he sadly never received any government assistance to improve production. His cows are skinny because he struggles to offer good food. Translator if the government would care about the cattle farmers im sure we would be able to compete with australian beef but we cant do this on our own. Reporter the governor says he cant help individual farmers but he is trying to increase production by assisting breeders. Translator our brief is lot more tasty than australian beef because its natural and still expensive because we cannot mass produce. Reporter in the next two years he hopes to increase production to one million cows. Despite protests by traders the government resumed transporting bulls here hoping finally prices will come down.

Translator the main topic on the agenda is going to be defending christians in the middle east who have been destroyed with loud voices from the Catholic Church and the orthodox world especially the russians calling for people to pay attention. Unfortunately these voices havent been heard. Reporter for some of russias faithful the meeting is a welcome if rather abstract event. Translator i think any negotiations are good. Maybe they are going to discuss some issues or solve some problems. Translator we hope this meeting will be useful for people, for world, for everything, peace is the most important thing. Reporter president putin was not among the priests waving him off on thursday the kremlin has given this diplomatic trip approval, in cuba after several hours of talks with the pope the two men will sign a joint declaration as well as the fate of christians in the wartorn middle east, political tensions between russia and the west might well be discussed too. After two resent meetings it seems putin views argentina francis is less critical of policies than many western leaders. Moscows main Catholic Church serves as a varied congregation and services are held in polish, armania, spanish and russian and english and they have high hopes. When leaders come together and show their willingness to speak, to talk to each other, overcome hostility, maybe not hostility but suspicion towards each other something is changing. Reporter as historic as this meeting is its not really about history. In the end it will be judged on whether the meeting can in any way help with the problems of today. Al jazeera. The u. S.

Justice department after Police Routinely violated the constitution and the elected leaders say that is too expensive costing 3. 7 million in the first year alone to retrain police and change tactics so they changed the consent agreement they negotiated with justice. This agreement is something that we can meet financially. Its something that also still achieves the constitutional policing which is obviously the reason for having the Consent Decree so we felt these changes really were immaterial to making and meeting the goals of the decree. Reporter those changes limited pay raises for police to attack better candidates and also allow the city to dissolve the Police Department and form a new one that doesnt have to abide by the agreement. Ferguson Police Routinely and deliberately violate the Constitutional Rights of its citizens by stopping them without cause, targeting black people, using Excessive Force and using the criminal Justice System to raise money.

Jane thank you kenya at risk at ban of competing at this year Olympic Games after they were given a warning by the World Antidoping Agency and announced late on thursday the country missed a deadline to prove that they are taking the necessary steps to tackle doping and will be placed on a watch list. And the east african country which excels at distance running has two months to bring legislation and funding, if not it will be declared noncompliant with the code and the International Olympic committee would need to make a decision on whether kenya would be allowed to compete in rio. Along with russia kenya athletics recently found itself in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons and back in january 2015 we had a threetime Boston Marathon winner and became the highest profile winner to get a doping ban and one of 40 kenyas to test positive in two years. August of that year athletes came home to a heros welcome after they topped the metal table in beijing and won seven golds and two were suspended after failing two precompetition tests and a few months later in november three senior officials including this man they were suspended over corruption allegations related to doping tests. And on wednesday the ceo of athletics kenya was forced to deny claims he asked for a bribe from two athletes that were ban after those world athletics championships and lets speak to an athletic journalist in kenya and iaaf have been investigating kenya since last march and given repeated warnings and why did they fail to tackle the issue of doping . Well, i think the biggest problem has been funding. The kenya government did set up the Antidoping Agency of kenya in december and gave it 5 million for operation but finances have not been coming and structures are not in place and testing and infrastructure is not in place so its still a bit of a problem getting the testing underway. Last i remember russia was suspended by iaaf by the sponsored doping program but that is not the issue with kenya. Its the flip side if you like because russia is sponsored and have the technology and have the labs and have the facilities but in kenya its a bit of lack of education and you know people are not being policed if you like. The agents and managers of these athletes are not taken through strict checks so its a freeforall. And its different situation. What is the feeling in kenya, do some people feel they are being unfairly targeted by the authorities . Well, its a mixture of both. There are some people who feel they are being unfairly targeted, some including olympic and World Champion and being blown out of proportion. Some people are still living in denial but now its beginning to done on many people following the sport that the issue could be more serious than previously thought. And do athletes really believe they are at risk from being ban from this years rio olympics . Its still not really sunk in. The deadlines are coming and going. Its business as usual. I still dont think people are seeing the gravity of the issue and until maybe perhaps after two months or whatever and given to list kenya as being on the black list, only then will people realize that actually there is a problem missing out on the olympics. Great to hear your thought athletic journalist based in kenya, thank you very much.
