And for the teenage snowboarder taking all the. Big. Hits the heights when called in the women. The u. S. Secretary of state is warning that ending combat operations against eisel will not guarantee the armed groups defeat Rex Tillerson has been the draw. A meeting of the Global Coalition to defeat i saw in kuwait to listen says the u. S. Will provide a further two hundred Million Dollars to help stabilize areas in syria that used to be under eisel control get the latest on the ground in syria in just a moment with aljazeera as jamal as well as in go see enter but first lets go live to saudis a dan whos abt that meeting in kuwait city and. This is a key moment isnt it sorry for the anti eisel coalition what direction is this Coalition Heading in. It is indeed a key moment and it is a time to think about focusing again on the direction of the u. S. Secretary of state as you mentioned there Rex Tillerson is among the several of the Foreign Ministers who are here to attend this global meeting of the anti eisel coalition and he had a warning and he said those areas which have been taken off of ice on in syria if theyre not rehabilitated if life doesnt go back to normal or those areas could go back to why you saw on his part he promised adrian the the u. S. Would now give two hundred Million Dollars this year to help rehabilitate some of those areas in syria no mention at this point if theres any u. S. Money going to come in to help rehabilitate areas taken off advice all in neighboring iraq big curious since this Global Coalition to defeat eisel conference is being held on the sidelines of an iraq reconstruction conference but tell us some will be speaking at the iraq reconstruction conference a little bit later so perhaps hell make some commitments there are some expectations definitely from iraqi officials now putting this into the big picture the timing of this conference is interesting this is the first time the Global Coalition to defeat i saw these meetings since at least on this level since the fall of rocco since i saw was driven out of their de facto capital its coming after the Iraqi Government declared victory. In the battle against i saw that declaration in december its coming also after the russians declared that they had defeated the i saw in every town in syria announced and they also made in december some Coalition Members there worried that complacency might set in the refocusing on that part of the Mission Statement that says this coalition is not only about coordinating positions on the battlefield but its also about rehabilitating life about even providing Public Services in some of those areas which have been captured from isis havent we seen this sort of scenario before in the past where. There is a coalition or american troops take territory from groups only for then the piece to be lost and we see that group or Splinter Group arise and we go back to square one with more battles adrian writes i mean lets bring in. Then whos and gaziantep near the Turkish Border with syria love the focus of lace has been on violence perpetrated by the Syrian Government and its battle with the mainstream syrian operation whats happening as far as the fight against i saw is concerned where of its fighters gone or perhaps you bring us up to date on the latest in northwestern syria near the near the border with turkey. Well you join as jaime mentioned after rockefeller that was the de facto capital stronghold the last remaining brothers from gold of ice on since then the ice will fight to the tab appears in terms of conflicts or battles have been in sporadic events and not as a unified so to speak kind of violence as we had witnessed between two thousand and fourteen two thousand and sixteen until the coalition was launched actually in the past twenty four hours there were reports from inside syria that roughly four hundred isel fighters were captured by the Free Syrian Army as they tried to launch an attack on italy but obviously it is from the under the control of the Syrian Opposition now aside from my son aside from the Security Threat that it poses or use to pose for several of the regional countries as far as turkey is concerned there is another terrorist organization and that is why p g the Kurdish Militia who mainly form up the Syrian Democratic forces as they are referred to by the United States and turkey has been extremely critical of the United States because the u. S. Heavily depended on those Kurdish Militia to fight i saw if you remember back in the day when there was a battle for bonnie a few years ago and then and several other instances throughout but as far as the talks are concerned the y. P. G. O. Just another terrorist organization thats bans on killing civilians and pushing its own agenda through terrorizing the population in fact present president rajapaksa part of one was very clear when he was addressing the talk of parliament in past couple of hours a journey where he said that the u. S. Really has to decide who is going to ally itself with whether it will maintain its alliance and regions with turkey a natural ally under nato or whether it will go its separate way Rex Tillerson recently was talking about there is going to be in ankara and. Couple of days that we think is going to be very significant to tell us how u. S. Tarkus relations are going through advance reserve syria which is remember major Sticking Point between washington and im proud of our many thanks indeed aljazeera is tomorrow shell there it goes again to near the turkey syria border the woman at the center of the scandal of brought down former south korean President Park going to haye has been jailed for twenty years for corruption choice soon silver was found guilty of using her friendship with park to meddle in state affairs for personal gain she was fined sixteen point six Million Dollars one korean conglomerate caught up in the scandal is the law to group its chairman ben was sentenced to jail at the same time as which way for two years and six months for bribery trade was a relative unknown until the corruption allegations emerged in twenty sixteen the case has had repercussions though for south koreas political and Business Elite its triggered the impeachment of President Park geun hay in march last year a first in the nations history parks on trial as well she faces more than a dozen charges including colluding with a to extort money from some of south koreas Biggest Companies in return for political favors one of those companies implicated was sam sloan last year its chief jay wiley was jailed for five years for bribery and embezzlement but his sentence was suspended last week and he was released from jail lets go live now to seoul and aljazeera the tasha good name whos there whats been the reaction to this verdict. Adrian might be the most reviled public figure in south korea at the moment the judges lengthy sentence could be sending a message to the people that their outrage has been heard it could also be sending a warning to others prosecutors have said that choice disrupted the political process shook the foundation of south Korean Society and that the effects will reverberate for generations to come we spoke with one woman who said that she was surprised by the verdict she thought that it was a heavier sentence than she predicted prosecutors that hope for a twenty five Year Prison Sentence as you just heard got a twenty Year Prison Sentence there were supporters of president poc outside the courtroom there was fighting in screaming after the verdict was announced they have been closely monitoring this case to see how it will impact pock again the two women states are viewed as inexplicably linked because of that forty year long relationship that prosecutors say to a capitalized on to meddle in state affairs and control the presidency all along to a has said that this case is political revenge she was framed and that shes being trait treated unfairly she is an apologetic some people have criticized that and said that she needs to be responsible and to apologize but given the huge amount of bias adrian against her some of also wondered if it was possible for trade to ever get a fair trial. As we outlined as one of many people in snit in this scandal what could be the the broader impact of this verdict. This is certainly some and a kind of National Reckoning if you will a kind of soul searching adrian because this case is first of all probably the biggest political scandal in south korean history it was the first time that a president had not only been impeached but removed from office and it made people angry and also this was viewed as a kind of Tipping Point where as political and Business Elite in the past if they were found guilty of wrongdoing they were often given a slap on the risk wrist rather and tolerated it was hoped that this massive scandal would usher in an era of accountability there is also talk of political reform analysts say that this case simply reaffirms the fact that there is too much power concentrated in the presidency and until there are reforms there is a very real danger of history repeating itself a testimony thanks i was it was natasha going to him that lives in seoul. Egypts former chief of staff that of the armed forces sunday on on the has top secret files that will be released if hes harmed in any way thats the warning from his former aide and state auditor hessian going into this came hours after the Egyptian Military announced that its investigators will be taking further measures against anon who was arrested last month after revealing his intention to run in the upcoming president ial election egypts incumbent president abdul fattah elsisi will be running for a second term in march will says that hes speaking out about the documents because he believes that some of the mans life is in danger. I hope an opportunity had been given to the chief of staff summing anon to give the testimony freely and without intimidation for the record so that all things come clear before the public is his testimony mere hearsay or supported with evidence he is in possession of documents and evidence which is not camps here in egypt you mean out of egypt yes could these pieces of evidence change the course of trials of course no doubts could they incriminate many yes timothy called us from the taria institute for middle middle east politics says that its impossible to judge how important these documents are without knowing the exact details. What would a sufficient scandal for its matter i mean weve got me i mean everyone knows for example. Economic. Position and they are aware theres reports now about possibly allowing the israelis to strikes in sinai theres theres a me thing. Theres the whole virginity tests and all that happened during the uprising. Soon after and so theres so many Different Things that have already come and gone in that. That i dont know what it is that would be so scandalous that it would be threatening to them but it could also because hes trying to disrupt region from other perspectives of other people were. Trying to. Pressure on the government if you know if it starts in south africa is running a. N. C. Is expected to hold a news briefing in the next few hours with state media reporting that the party has given president jacob zuma forty eight hours to resign it follows a thirteen meeting by the African National congress to discuss his fate and see president cinerama pose is understood to have met zuma in person to him form him of the parties to session zuma faces hundreds of corruption charges but its refused to stand down before his term ends next year lets go live now to johannesburg and aljazeera mina weve had months of weeks and confusion are we confident now at least that were into the game game here. Well its certainly hope that this briefing by the agency will bring some clarity to the confusion the speculation and the rumors that have surrounded developments in the last few weeks trying to get jacob zuma out of office has been ongoing for months and especially the intensity has increased over the last few days when. The president of the a. N. C. Had talks with jacob zuma but they continues to be a lot of confusion around what exactly has been going on the process is around does appear to be very internal for the a. N. C. In this is leading to some frustration south africans a sitting on the sidelines watching the ruling party deal with a leader thats been accused of corruption has been accused of whats been called state capture where hes benefited hes Associates Family and friends and used his position as president to benefit these people now this briefing follows these reports from the state broadcaster that jacob zuma has been given forty eight hours to resign but so far what weve seen from jacob zuma is really no inclination to do that we did hear from his wife for example over the weekend she use social media to say all hell will break loose of the president is forced out and this is again what were hearing through reports earlier today that hes allies have said that there will be dire consequences for the a. N. C. If jacob zuma is pushed out now the pressure on zuma isnt only coming from within the a. N. C. But also from opposition parties who have said that they want a motion of no confidence that was scheduled for later this month they want to put forward to be heard in parliament this week they also want ultimately snap elections to be held once parliament is dissolved and this is what the Democratic Alliance leader who see my money had to say. It is the. Home. Environment. And if. We want to avoid decisions. We are. Part of the people. From the people. Now all eyes are on the a. N. C. And exactly how they will create transparency around this process and explain to south africans what is happening and if indeed jacob zuma is stepping out of office or if theyll be taking further action to make sure that happens all right many thanks indeed for me to villa there live in johannesburg well seumas nine years in power have been overshadowed by controversy and economic problems hes survived eight no confidence votes in parliament most recently in august last year twenty sixteen a court ruled that zuma should face charges of bribery in one thousand nine hundred ninety nine. Hes been accused of accepting outside influence in government decisions and cabinet appointments by the group has a wealthy indian born business family now living in South Africa Zuma and some of his family members along with the group was being investigated on charges of International MoneyMoney Laundering he was also accused of using twenty three Million Dollars of government money to renovate his private home he later paid back the money.

Smaller years for bombers take on his latest president ial portrait. Im having. The trial of a palestinian teenager charged with assaulting an israeli soldier has begun to me was arrested in december after a video of slapping and hitting Israeli Soldiers went viral the seventeen year old is facing twelve charges and could spend up to ten years in prison if found guilty the case has drawn International Condemnation thats go live now to. Outside that military court to ramallah in the occupied west bank odysseus harry force it is there what are we expecting to happen on the first day of this trial. Well thats right here on this israeli side of the courts we have been we can only tell you really what happened at the very beginning of the days proceedings thats because at the beginning of the proceedings the military judge decided that all representatives of the media and indeed other observers diplomats observers would be removed from the court only the family of a head to me has allowed to be remaining inside in fact the car possibly now is is one of those that was containing some of those observers the court just made that decision according to its own russia now because this is the trial of a minor and therefore protections are required. In a court where shes being tried along with adults in the observing it and of course adults taking part in the proceedings themselves a lawyer rejected that proposal saying that every form of proceeding up until this first day of the trial had been open to observers and the media and the other could have done this for its own purposes in order to
