Just the past hour or so as president Vladimir Putin has announced he is ordering a daily humanitarian pause to the fighting and it will start tomorrow. It will be a pause of course in the strikes and shelling by forces loyal to president Bashar Al Assad including russia which is killed. And five hundred people now just going to start with a quick map here from al jazeera dot com under siege syrias Eastern Group there and its a bit of a crowded looking map there but its just to give you an idea of the area were talking about you see damascus in the left hand corner thats the city center of this whole area Eastern Ghouta home now to about four hundred thousand people across those twenty two districts it has been besieged by the government all those red areas around there since twenty thirteen so this is the area where its all been happening and maybe now just a little bit of response so well check in first with jonah how he is in russia and central city called chelyabinsk and what can you tell us jonah about the details of this humanitarian pools. Yeah this information coming through in about the last hour or so defense minister sergey sure he grew following a meeting of the National Security council the top level Security Council at which president putin was in attendance defense minister show you saying the order for a huge a humanitarian pause comes by order of the president in order to avoid further civilian casualties it goes into effect as you said at nine am local time on tuesday it runs until two pm local time daily defensemen saying that a humanitarian corridor or will be open to allow civilians both to leave and aid to enter as well now what does this mean in practice well of course that will be proven by the facts on the ground on at nine am on tuesday will it mean an end to fighting certainly the last forty eight hours since the signing of that resolution or the unanimous agreement of that resolution by the Security Council has not seen and into fighting what we do know is that there were some crucial changes to the wording of that resolution brought in in in anxious delayed talks ahead of the agreement of that resolution in order to bring russia on board concessions to russia in the wording removing things like within seventy two hours and the word immediately referring to a deliveries replacing them with the words without delay apparently giving president putin time to talk to his ally president assad and bring him on board which perhaps now he has been able to do. Thank you for all those details as you say well see what happens tomorrow or well move to asama been of course covering events from has been doing for some weeks now whats your assessment as to what this might actually mean how it might actually play out for the people of Eastern Group. In the last few minutes i asked a syrian activists on the ground about what is going to happen they said we dont know does this mean that they killed the rest of us after one minute or two oclock and that was a question mark so it is not clear what is going to happen people have been disappointed in the First Movement that is about the humanitarian ceasefire that they were expecting is about evacuation this cease fire according to what weve been hearing from the copies that be seen by the russian government is that it will allow people to leave this does not mean that allowed aid to come in this is obviously an area home to four hundred thousand people people who have been under siege since two thousand and thirteen five hundred fifty plus have been killed more than two thousand people injured and their aid supplies have been running on fumes weve been hearing about desperate stories of how people were stranded in shelters for two days and then food could reach them weve been hearing from medics who have been saying that they have run out of everything that they could use to save lives including a lot bags so it is a very desperate situation on the ground there is disappointment and anger among syrians that this United NationsSecurity Council resolution that people are counting on that might allow a cessation to the fighting and in humanitarian aid is going to be used to for people to leave and a you have to remember that people who have been telling us in the last week since this. Campaign began that they dont want to leave they have seen what is happening to people who left aleppo theyve seen what is happening to people. They dont want to go to the region. Parts in damascus there is no option of going further south near the jordanian border and in the north there is it live where there is ongoing fighting so where will these people go once they come out and if they come out of the city with or is a big question mark thank you for all that. Have been. Following developments in syria very now the thing is before any of this news broke of this apparent humanitarian pause the Major Development in these the group was actually of a suspected chlorine gas attack medics treated dozens of people struggling to breeze witnesses reported smelling the gas after an explosion in that rebel held area near damascus our report is from. One of the front lines in eastern opposition fighters say they are rebelling attempts by pro Syrian Government forces to storm the besieged and. Rebel saying they killed dozens of soldiers the ground offensive began on sunday just hours after the u. N. Security Council Agreed to a cease fire throughout. Since then there has been no letup in the war the intensity of the airstrikes and the shelling appears to have dropped when compared to the relentless Bombing Campaign during the first week of the assault but civilians continue to die those who are able to find underground shelter avoid going outside more than five hundred people have already been killed children and women among them. The any god give me patience to face this tragedy my children are scattered here and there my son lost three kids such awful memories. I lost my house six days ago i have nothing no told i have been here for six days theres no food and water living in tokyo. Chlorine gas has also reportedly been used activists and medics a victim suffered breathing problems i know not only today we have more than thirty dead dozens of launching of chemical weapons they bombard us with chlorine sarin and other gases from iran and we dont know what they are. In common they dont care about un Council Decisions they still use chemical weapons against us progovernment forces have been accused of using chemical weapons in the past especially when they want to clear an area to allow their forces to advance the Syrian Government. Are using a poll of the un Security Council cease fire resolution the military campaign. By what they call terrorists. If there are two rebel groups socialists and. They have sent representatives to russian sponsored talks in ask but there are also a few hundred. Fighters belonging to a Group Previously known as the. Front the opposition says. Fighters are ready to leave but the progovernment alliance wants all rebel factions to surrender there are thousands of fighters in eastern huta and between three hundred to four hundred thousand civilians says the u. N. God be with us wheres the ceasefire the airstrikes havent stopped weve been going through this for the past week no food no water the kremlin says the people of east are being held hostage but the fighters and their families are also the people of this damascus suburb surrendering would probably mean forcible displacement to another unsafe rebel area and never returning home. Meanwhile the un secretary general has used his opening address of the Human Rights Council to call for an immediate cease fire in east and go into the war in syria took center stage on the first day of those high level discussions which are being held over the next four weeks. In geneva the u. N. Secretary general antonio terrorise used his opening address to demand the immediate implementation of the cease fire in syria as the news came in of continued government attacks against the rebel held suburb of damascus. Cannot wait its time to stop these health. And they remind all parties of their absolute obligation i mean threshold humanitarian and human rights law to protect civilians and civilian infrastructure at all times and similarly efforts to come back. Do not supersede these obligations. The outgoing human rights high commissioner for the u. N. As i had to say in said he wished to be blunt about where the blame for what he called the slaughter house is really lay the responsibility for the continuation of so much pain lies with the five permanent members of the un Security Council so long as the veto is used by them to block any unity of action when it is needed the most when it could reduce the extreme suffering of innocent people then it is they the permanent members who must answer before the victims reforms to the system already being backed by two out of the five permanent members by france and the United Kingdom the high commissioner said it is time for the love of mercy for russia china and the United States to join them and stop the punishes use of the veto as the world celebrates the seventieth anniversary of the universal declaration of human rights the high commissioner said it was the worst offenders disregard and contempt for human rights which will be the eventual undoing of us all David Chaytor aljazeera geneva. We think that is of course our focus but we shouldnt forget there are ongoing battles in other parts of syria as such this the who controls what map of syria is being regular updates and i think about a freeing up in the north west as well which is ongoing if you just for that syria who controls what you can explore this map the itself it is handy context when we talk about syrias war which is being fought as we know on so many fronts you can get in touch with us as well the hash tag is a good Contact Details coming up on screen of had a couple of questions already which are hopefully i can answer here on facebook who is in control of the well as you saw in the first map i showed you there is a rebel held on clay Village Green areas it is rebel held areas but it is besieged from all around by the Syrian Government forces so arguably you could say the Syrian Government forces are the ones in control because theyre not letting anyone in or out and question viro whats that number plus an uncivil five or one triple one four nine camille has asked what is the United Nations doing well i passed a resolution at but you heard from jonah how a little bit early he said the language got watered down instead of saying immediate humanitarian assistance it became about humanitarian assistance without delay its all in these very delicate wordings which is what actually gets these deals over the line but as weve seen no cease fire but perhaps these humanitarian pauses starting tomorrow if you want to get in touch with us Twitter Facebook and whatsapp all up and running the hash tag as a. J. News grid over in brussels syria was also top of the agenda for European Union minutes we saw the a use high representative for Foreign Affairs federica moca really saying she is worried by this escalation of the conflict in Eastern Europe to have a listen. In general terms i am extremely concerned of the ministers as well about the increase of military operations all over syria from Different Actors obviously first and foremost by the regime and its supporters and there is a special responsibility especially from the free got interests of the start up process russia iran and turkey to make sure that the process of the escalation takes place and not the process of escalation his new banker in brussels for us now. As i say obviously syria tops the agenda no surprise but what else are they dealing with there at this meeting. Oh sure lets start with syria the e. U. Foreign policy chief theyre clearly very quick to condemn the ongoing violence in syria specifically there in eastern she said that the responsibility were it was all of the regional players involved in the conflict in syria the likes of russia of course of iran and turkey to provide guarantees that this un back cease fire will be implemented will hold and will be effective at the end of all of this so the coming forty eight hours are going to be very crucial will be observed very closely from brussels as to whether or not the cease fire is indeed effective and being respected also the middle east Peace Process was a major focus for e. U. Foreign ministers here in brussels they have been growing concerns after President Donald Trump recognized jerusalem as the capital of israel that the u. S. Can no longer play a neutral role in peace talks in that part of the world which is why frederica mongery me on the sidelines of this Foreign Ministers meeting met up with senior figures within the arab league the onus is now on the arab league and the e. U. To plow ahead to make sure that the Peace Process continues ahead as planned and the hopes of a two state solution remain key to all Foreign Policy plans across the board but also further afield we cant talk about this meeting without talking about the facts of the e. U. Twenty seven has also given greening the mandate to impose crucial sanctions against leading military figures within the miami leadership in retaliation for the violent crackdown on ranger moves slims this is a crucial step because the e. U. Had been very hesitant in the past about what kind of sanctions could be imposed they had worried that economic sanctions may have a negative impact on ordinary citizens within me on mar but now a crucial step showing that the e. U. Is prepared to take punitive measures to bring into line in response to what the e. U. Regards as very serious violations of human rights and thats going on about e. U. Meeting in brussels need bank thank you. There is simply news from the United Nations regarding south sudan with famine is threatening to take over and imprisonment a number of people now simply dont know where their next meal will come from while sixty percent of the population do you know because they are totally dependent on food handouts not just have quick look at this this is the situation a year ago done from al jazeera dot com an interactive map youre looking at the stressed areas all those sort of beige cream colored areas stressed areas as far as Food Security goes and then if i just move this across we look at the next six months of this is like up until may of last year and over in this area just were swapping back and forth and you see how those areas start to turn darker color as they go into the crisis and emergency areas that is south sudan route there and that as we said he was six months ago but it is the human factor which is key here we cant forget that the u. N. Says the hunger crisis wont end until infighting between rival political groups stops as well here morgan has a report from juba barely able to stand and to think. Thats looking a dent john told the doctors when she brought in her two year old time getting for a checkup but she cannot hide her grief when asked why he was in that condition. We have no food in the house i planted basic greens but thats not enough and we cant afford to buy food from the market every day sometimes we eat one meal sometimes we dont eat the doctors think getting is malnourished and is not alone the u. N. Childrens organization unicef says more than one point three million children are at risk of being malnourished by july if not given assistance. And philip is one of them. I brought my child here because he hasnt gotten proper food for so long that the little food we do get he cant eat it and we cant afford regular mail. Africas youngest nation has been its war for more than four years infighting between rival groups has claimed thousands of lives and displaced a quarter of the twelve million population its also resulted in what the u. N. Calls an unprecedented level of Food Insecurity as much as it is hard for those here in the capital juba to get through the situation is worse for millions of others around the country who have no access to markets and rely on aid to survive that total is rising the u. N. Says six point three million or fifty seven percent of the population is a trick of starvation by april and the u. N. Says one hundred fifty five thousand people are at risk of being classified as an catastrophic things of Food Insecurity by july it is serious and then why we are seeing less drastic measures to can by the unitarian activist in this situation is likely to form but from las
