Hello im a fiend elisha without you there live from doha also coming up for attacks across afghanistan target Security Forces and cobbles Diplomatic Area. The u. S. Confirms its embassy will move from tel aviv to jerusalem by may thats much earlier than expected. A former election aide to donald trump pleads guilty as more charges are revealed in the investigation into russian meddling in american politics. I am. The diplomats are expressing stream frustration as the u. N. Security council delayed a vote on a resolution which would demand a cease fire across syria that vote is not expected later on saturday russia has raised several objections which the other Security Council diplomats are trying to work out and one of them is timing russia says an immediate cease fire is unrealistic now the draft resolution calls for a thirty day truce which would allow for a deliveries and for medical evacuations of people who are critically ill and wounded diplomats minds are particularly focused on the rebel enclave of eastern gator thats close to the capital damascus and is being pounded by syrian and Russian Forces while the four hundred forty civilians have died in just six days we can talk now to our correspondent asama binge of aid whos in gaza and to have that in Southern Turkey very close to the Syrian Border and while the diplomats in new york are dithering and working out these these compromises on paper the people in syria particularly in eastern guta a suffering like never before. Absolutely that has been the case for the last seven days martine this onslaught started in sunday where the Syrian Government and its allies started pounding the east an enclave of a bit not just airstrikes but attending the shows as venti been heading reports from the ground on desperate conditions on how people are counted inside small basements large numbers of them but they dont have basic Health Facilities for the people who have been injured and aid workers and medics have been telling us about more than two thousand people whove been wounded in the last seven days theyve been saying to foster off medical supplies as well as medical facilities bunch of it he says that twenty four facilities including hospitals of the head twelve of them have been completely out of service so it is a desperate situation and as we hear these comments being made in the u. N. Security council that the people inside yet cannot wait and it is. Evident i think every day out they call out for deals left on another floor but in the dense dust and debris its hard to see whos left the upper floor is on fire. Or some kind of the doctor tells me to open his eyes so he can wash it medically workers in eastern guta are calling for urgent assistance because of the continuous heavy bombardment. Incendiary bombs are now appearing in the night skies weapons intended to stop 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 whats taken 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 the compartment 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. Message to the Security Council is for a cease fire or truce for days strikes and bombardments of 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 situation burson on the ground for the people and no aid seems to be coming in its worth noting that the city. In Damascus City the capital of syria has been the scene since two thousand and thirteen for the last five years people have been trying to explain to us that imagine running. Without Running Water electricity or basic supplies and then on top of that the bombardment. Just continues and not. Live from. And apologize for the rather dodgy connection we have because according heavily with rain we have to make out where. New york where diplomats are hoping that finally theyll be able to reach an agreement on a resolution which would impose a ceasefire on syria were expecting that vote will take place on saturday a diplomatic as i said james. All day 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 vaseline 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 appeared with 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 have been holding as a president of the city council to thank actually the eaton for 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 own meetings were delayed towards the end of the day the u. S. 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 of jaffrey 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. Theyve been at least four attacks in Afghanistan Taliban fighters stormed an army outpost in the west of the country at least twenty soldiers were killed there Security Forces were also targeted in lashkar gah and another attack occurred in nearby. And i saw has claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing in the capital kabul lets go there live nancy to our correspondent tony take us through these attacks and that have happened across the country. Well it started at eight thirty this morning the first one was here in kabul in the Diplomatic Area the target was the Afghan Intelligence building we were told that three people have been killed and five have been injured that was followed up by attacks in western western part of the country there was an attack in alaska ghar suicide bombing there was killed six were wounded and then as you said before know the al early district where two soldiers were killed in a post but the biggest attack was a a mass attack by taliban in farah province where we were told eighteen soldiers have been confirmed dead so its been a morning of bloodshed i think also theres a cause for concern that the attack in kabul was carried out by Islamic State and you may remember in january there was a big ambulance bombing where more than one hundred people were killed well after that the president ashraf ghani announced a new Security Strategy tightening up of security on the streets weve seen more people on the streets more armed force on the streets more defenses if you like but still with all that going on Islamic State was still able to strike in the very heart of kabul in one of the most tightly security areas so there is a lot of concern there this is a fight thats going on that shows that the reach of these groups is never ending and it comes at a time of course when the u. S. Says has ramped up its response to the taliban particularly by the air and as you say the government has undertaken to protect its people more robustly. Yes its a very difficult situation now because as you say the u. S. Here has beefed up its forces here from eight thousand five hundred at the beginning of President Trump. Inauguration to fourteen thousand now and theyre using aerial power were hearing about more casualties more civilian casualties and of course apart from today generally the civilians make up the bulk of the casualties the United Nations has released a report saying that last year two thousand and seventeen ten thousand civilians were killed or injured and theyve also shown that more suicide bombings are happening it seems to be the weapon of choice so it seems to go from bad to worse here no into sight all right thank you very much tony betty there live in the Afghan Capital kabul.

For the nigerian president mohammed who bihari has sent extra soldiers to search for the more than one hundred girls who were kidnapped from their school in the town of. President bihari called mondays abduction by boko haram a National Disaster the attackers cast doubt on the governments claim that its technically defeated the armed group but her arm kidnapped more than two hundred schoolgirls from the town of chibok in two of the fourteen a many of them are still missing but go live to our correspondent in the capital the nigerian capital abuja and ahmed it seems very clear the president biharis keen not to repeat the mistakes of twenty fourteen and hes moving quickly on this sending troops to the area to look for the girls. Exactly. Its a smart move according to many analysts weve spoken to but they would rather see this action taken immediately after these girls were taken probably on the night on monday night or Tuesday Morning when probably these fighters or the kidnappers or abductors may not have moved far there are questions as to whether or not the Ground Troops and the air operations were located where they are your best state in particular is a vast area most of it a desert area. And its not far from the general public the school where these girls were taken in particular life less than two hundred kilometers away from public and nobody is certain whether or not these girls have been moved out of Nigeria Charity or inside nigerian territory so the question is where will these troops start looking and its been three or four days since they have been taken but all the same a lot of people are sort of. Commending the government because it had knowledge this problem early on unlike in the past when it took weeks before the government accepted the fact that these guys are big ticket without wanting to sound too cynical ahmed the gas li the gas and saddle achieve uk will most definitely want to be avoided now in particular because we are starting the run up partly to election season and president will have it will not want his copybook stained with another incident of girls having been kidnapped by the her arm. Exactly martin this is what the government is trying to avoid as much as he can however the reality of the situation is that. The government has been accused of negotiating the release of chicagos more than one hundred of them with boko haram and a lot of people feel that that has encouraged i mean both in the fight is to kidnap
