Lots of the robin youre watching aljazeera live my headquarters here in doha also coming up a former election aide to donald trump agrees to help the inquiry into alleged russian meddling in u. S. Politics while another faces yet more charges. Also the u. S. Confirms the said bussy will move from tel aviv to jerusalem by day passed earlier than expected. And russia boxes that team really off the red army find out how the military has been rebuilt to become one of the strongest in the world. Welcome to the program of the Syrian Military is bombardment of Eastern Ghouta looks set to continue after a u. N. Vote on a humanitarian ceasefire was postponed until saturday more than four hundred forty civilians have died in six days of attacks. Clave in a few moments well hear from our diplomatic editor james basically but first of its reports on the situation in eastern guta. Theres no. Evidence yet the call out for those left on another floor but in the dense dust and debris its hard to see whos left the upper floor is on fire. From. The doctor tells ali to open his eyes so he can wash it out medical workers in eastern huta are calling for urgent assistance because of the continuous heavy bombardment. Incendiary bombs are now appearing in the night skies weapons intended to start large fires when they hit the ground. People in bodies are pulled out from crevices between buildings the nearly four hundred thousand people in the besieged enclave are dying in their hundreds how to be a bad whats taking place in eastern is a genocide and a crime against humanity in violation of international and humanitarian law and the perpetrators should be held liable accountable and cannot escape punishment under any circumstances russia is to blame for directly being involved in the military campaign and even apartment graphic videos weve chosen not to show you contain body parts scattered in the aftermath of the latest onslaught by the Assad Government and its allies. The opposition holds russia and iran responsible. When the dust settles the destruction is clear people have been forced to live in underground shelters. And want a message to the Security Council is for a cease fire or truce for days airstrikes and bombardments have forced families and children into underground shelters we cant do anything we cant even go outside to get food but when the outside looks like this there arent many places people can go to the ferocity of the bombardment and the arrival of troops on the outskirts of with are battling with fighters its reminiscent of what happened to other rebel held parts in places like homs and aleppo entire populations were evacuated to new places in syria and people inside besieged with there have been cheering orders flits of evacuation zones convinced that this is what is going to happen to them as well as. Old a frantic negotiations here at the United Nations to try and get a Security Council resolution passed a great deal of the pressure on the Russian Ambassador. Who has problems with some of the language in the draft resolution drawn up by kuwait and sweden at one point the kuwaiti ambassador the president of the Security Council a period. The other nonpermanent members of the socalled elected ten and he sounded upbeat were still working on. The language on some of the but i get asked but we are almost there and we would like you know as a been holder as a president of the council to thank actually that he turned one of their support to a lot of votes and hopefully you are so close to adopt this is illusion today throughout the day votes were scheduled then perspire owned meetings were delayed towards the end of the day the Us Ambassador nikki haley tweeted unbelievable that russia is stalling a vote on a ceasefire allowing humanitarian access in syria how many more people will die before the Security Council agrees to take up this vote lets do this tonight the Syrian People cant wait but in the end the Security Council decided to postpone its vote until saturday this was the comment from the swedish ambassador im trying to facilitate a meaningful outcome of this Security Council so i can only protect what were trying to do and that is to have a resolution adopted yesterday and now we have not achieved that i find that extremely frustrating given what we are faced with on the ground at the end of the day the Russian Ambassador was chatting with his syrian colleague basher ill jaffery its still unclear whether any vote will actually take place and whether a vote will pass what is certain is that the Syrian Government bombardment for now will continue theres been a suicide bombing in afghanistans capital kabul and the explosion was at the gate of the department of intelligence one person is dead and several others have been injured will try to get you more on that as we get it. Moving on now to the special counsel Robert Muller whos investigating alleged russian interference in the u. S. Election and hes unsealed the latest charges against ex trump aide told manifold hes accused of secretly paying unnamed european politicians to lobby for the previously pro bosco government in ukraine in twenty twelve and twenty thirteen coal papers allege that manifest also wide the politicians of more than two million euros. Now it comes as another Trump Campaign aide has changed his plea to guilty rick gatess admission of conspiracy of lying to investigators means that hes willing to cooperate and testify against others particle he reports. Are telling you its happened again another member of Donald Trumps twenty sixteen campaign walks into the courthouse and pleads guilty to a serious felony conspiring against the United States and line to investigators gates isnt a household name but its believed he played an Important Role in the campaign and inauguration often seen right next to his boss like here preparing for his partys acceptance speech gates was the former Deputy Campaign manager for trump and a longtime Business Partner of Campaign Chairman paul man of fort gates was indicted with manna for last october for Money Laundering later face charges of bank fraud and tax evasion both men originally pled not guilty gates joined the Term Campaign in june of two thousand and sixteen and stayed on after man a fort was fired this will put more pressure on man afford to follow suit and flip giving evidence on people higher up in the campaign he was in that critical meeting between Donald Trump Jr jared cushion or and a russian lawyer linked to the kremlin this is now the third Trump Campaign official to come to this courthouse and plead guilty with that theres been a lot more talking to serve circles that President Donald Trump should simply pardon everyone involved under the constitution he can do that you can pardon pretty much. Anybody except himself it would be politically risky but theres another problem the special counsels been working with states attorneys and when it comes to stay crimes well theres literally nothing the president can do to interfere so far nineteen people have been indicted in connection with the moeller investigation into possible russian collusion for have flipped making it likely that more rests are coming and making it harder to say theres nothing here it discredits more and more the claim that this is just fake news theres nothing there but theres nothing there why are people pleading guilty they usually do that in order for prosecutors to get people more powerful in this case closer to the president whats not know just how high this will go if its possible it could lead to the president himself patty klein aljazeera Washington Well the u. S. Has also confirmed that it will open its new embassy in jerusalem this may not so much earlier than expected palestinians have condemned the announcement also in jordan because the latest. News the u. S. Embassy would move from tel aviv to jerusalem on may fourteenth ok not in a communique but in a tweet from israels intelligence minister i would like to congratulate donald trump on his decision to transfer the u. S. Embassy on israels seventieth Independence Day no greater gift than that a short time later the u. S. President donald trump confirmed the news in a speech i was hit by more countries and more pressure and more people calling begging me dont do it dont do it dont do it. I said we have to do it its the right thing to do it wasnt december trump announced he was moving the embassy to jerusalem. And he angered at those who said the u. S. Was basically giving jerusalem to israel outside of final status talks with the palestinians the palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas was among those who condemned truff but at the u. N. Security council this week it was clear abbas had moved on he told them basters the era of the u. S. As an honest broker is over and that its time to try something new and money out of grammar digicam i would call for the convening of an International Peace conference by mid two thousand and nineteen based on International Law and relevant un resolutions with Broad International participation including the two concerned parties and regional and International Stakeholders one toasting a politician says the embassy is an affront to his community and they chose this day and this presents a very serious proposal question to the palestinian side besides the fact that moving the embassy to jerusalem is by itself to sufficient in violation of national a us based analyst called the move in date very bad Foreign Policy rather than just giving jerusalem away to the israelis what he could have done is sad we will acknowledge jerusalem as the capital of israel if you dismantle all the illegal settlements and so what he stand now isnt given away very big valuable check and essentially gotten nothing in return the ambassador David Friedman and a few aides will join current consulate staff at their office in jerusalem a new building wont be built for several years theres no denying the embassy move will affect any and all peace talks Going Forward rosalyn jordan aljazeera Washington Well still ahead here on aljazeera a poll to dispute threatens to put the brakes on lebanons every g.
