It may one day say the world the global seed vault home to nearly a million samples has its tenth anniversary. In sports files use of. A boy called clubs or a home game german football supporters may keep their feelings clear about much is being moved to mondays. To syria where it looks like the army has agreed to suspend as strikes and rebel held east and a daily five hour long truce Russias Defense Ministry says syrias military will now halt its bombardment so that the injured can leave the agreement comes forty eight hours after the u. N. Passed a resolution for a thirty day cease fire in the area but that was ignored and russia has now set the terms of this new deal will be live at the u. N. In a moment with reaction to that first though a look at the situation inside Eastern Ghouta zain hodder has this report. 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 say they killed dozens of soldiers on 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 know i am blind i lost my house six days ago i have nothing at all i have been here for six days there is no food and water we are living in told. Chlorine gas has also reportedly been used activists and medics a victim suffered breathing problems i dont 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 can 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 and russia are using a loophole in the Un Security Council cease fire resolution to the military campaign. Which are held by what they call terrorists. There are rebel groups. And. They have sent representatives to russian sponsored talks. But there are also a few hundred. Fighters belonging to a Group Previously known as the. Front the opposition. 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 un. 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 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 rebel area and never returning home. From the u. N. In new york and james what does this russian intervention calling for a day. Mean the u. N. Security council call for the fighting to stop for a month. Well remember the u. N. Security council cool is more than just a cool on saturday they passed a resolution without delay for a ceasefire not just an Eastern Ghouta but across syria without delay to have humanitarian access into Eastern Ghouta and other parts of syria so i can tell you certainly there are some diplomats particularly those that were on the other side of the argument in recent days against russia as they were negotiating that resolution say this is just wrong of russia to come out with this call now for a limited five hour cease fire when the Security Council is already mandated that there should be a seize far around the clock in front the acting British Ambassador said russia was playing cynical games for their part the u. N. Has told us that in the last forty eight hours thats basically the timeline since the u. N. Resolution was passed that thirty more people by their figures have died in eastern guta they say that if theres any sort of society they already to get the aid in we stand ready as soon as the conditions are safe for Truck Drivers humanitarian workers to roll into these areas. We for that to be effective. The fighting needs to stop we need to ensure that there are no roadblocks whether physical or administrative. Whether or not. Five hours is enough or not enough its a difficult question to to answer five hours is better than no hours but we would like to see any sation forces be extended thirty days as the Security Council had said but we will effort to do whatever we can within the time that were able to work. And james we have seen the u. N. Today addressing another country engulfed in conflict yemen whats happening there. Well weve seen some pretty high drama in the last few minutes in the Security Council on yemen to rival u. N. Security Council Resolutions the mechanics of that gets pretty complicated ill explain it in just a moment but actually the take away from this is not about yemen its about iran russia for the first time in the Security Council has used its veto power to protect iran remember a Central Point of the trumpet ministration is that iran is involved in destabilizing the region well if theres going to be any action against iran russia has just shown it will use its veto there were two resolutions to renew the u. N. Xm mandate for its panel of experts and it sanctions in yemen one was a u. K. Drafted resolution which included language criticizing iran the other was a russian version that didnt have that language and didnt have that detail in eat well it came to a vote a short time ago at the Security Council they voted on the two resolutions one after the other the first one they voted on the u. K. Resolution with the iranian language in it and eleven countries were in favor of that but there were four others who were not they work start in china who abstained bolivia who voted against and russia who voted against which means that resolution did not pass because one of the five permanent members vetoed it so then they voted on the russian resolution without the iranian language and because none of the nations around the table wanted the sanctions in yemen which would be expired at midnight to run out that was passed unanimously but an important moment in the Security Council russia backing iran very very strongly and sending i think a signal to the white house thank you very much our diplomatic editor james bays at the united nations. South africas new president has appointed his deputy and new finance minister and carried out a wide ranging reshuffle of his cabinet so a rama post has replaced several ministers including shaking up the Planning Energy and public and to prise ministries a number of ministers have been linked to a growing scandal relating to the undue influence by private citizens of Public Officials malcolm webb is live for us now in johannesburg how significant a shakeup is this. But its not really the overhaul that many of our poser supporters and many South Africans who were hoping for a clear change in direction of cleaning of house would have really hoped for several ministers who were appointed in the previous cabinet appointed by the former president jacob zuma have been reappointed in new positions ministers who were different stages implicated in many of the numerous corruption scandals that afflicted the previous government one of the most controversial re appointments has been the lucy got by the finance minister hes been reappointed in another powerful position the ministry of home affairs and many South Africans believed in his former role as finance minister he was actually representing the interests of a family of indian businessmen called the group to have been implicated in a whole series of corruption scandals here but hes been replaced by and last name a whos seen as a safe pair of hands relatively speaking in the ministry of finance and other controversial reappointment has been back to be leader meaning she was the minister of social development and afflicted in the one named in several corruption scandals in the ministry shes been reported as the minister for women in the presidency but one appointment that will reassure those people who were hoping for a change of direction and for the anticorruption drive that cimarron opposed the promised in his state of the union speech the appointment of the former finance minister Pravin Gordhan hes now in charge of the ministry of Public Enterprise which was seen as a ministry that had. Been captured as they say here in south africa i would say mean its been stated lost control of it and fall into the hands of corrupt private interests but cooldowns seen as someone who can clean up any ministry he takes control of and so some optimism for there for what will happen in the ministry event rise but overall not really the overall and overhaul and cleaning of house that many South Africans would have been hoping for also then why did he choose to retain some of the controversial ministers when he came in on such a strong Anti Corruption ticket. Who is somewhat to some extent start with a rock and a hard place. The ruling partys national. At the last conference he didnt win with a very large majority so he has to now balance the interests of different factions within the a. N. C. On the one hand on the other hand trying to pick the best people for the jobs in the different ministries the National Executive committee of the a. N. C. Remains very powerful they delegated him to be the leader they can recall him at any time and in that committee are many loyalists to zoom or to different functions and so he has to try and keep them happy if you doesnt he wont keep his job so we understand in the last couple of hours theres been negotiations going on between the different factions trying to keep these different elements happy and thats why were not seeing as much change now as many people had hoped for or expected arwa thank you very much with the latest from johannesburg malcolm where we want to take you to south sudan now where u. N. Agencies say Food Insecurity has reached unprecedented levels more than sixty percent of the population is at risk of starvation by july displacement juicer ongoing violence and a weak economy is contributed to this crisis as morgan reports from the capital juba barely able to stand and to think. Thats what denge on told the doctors when she brought in her two year old son go in for a check up but she cannot hide her grief when asked why he was in bad condition. We have no food in the house i plant a bit of 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 the getting is money and its 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. Ok my son 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 meals africa stand this nation has been at war for more than four years and fighting 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 food 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 that is why we are seeing a less drastic measures to can by the humanitarian activist in this situation is likely to form but from last year. We have an increase of food into fuel and Food Insecurity forty forty percent so if you compare learned here with this year is zero to do better but the u. N. Says without an end to the conflict it will be hard to fight against the hunger as long as you have because it continuing people a lot feel secure in their own being and where they are and without that you dont have them actually producing food and actually contributing to the food needs of what our imperatives i should maintain lactase is to look at now the people who are in need and make sure we get the resources to provide them the assistance that any needs that keep increasing day by day with adults and children at risk of starving to death and there are millions people morgan aljazeera juba.

Teachers have returned to work nearly two weeks after a mass shooting at a school in florida they were greeted by supporters outside laundries steinman Douglas High School in parkland seventeen people were killed when a gunman entered the school and opened fire a nineteen year old student form a student has been charged over this shooting. And President Trump has been meeting governors from around the u. S. With School Safety top of the agenda lets get more on this from our White House Correspondent kelly how it so what so much from that meeting kimberly. Well the president seems particularly invested in bringing together governors from around the United States to try and get some sort of legislation together or at least some sort of agreed upon restrictions for gun ownership potentially raising the age that one can purchase a firearm to the age of twenty one and of course he has already announced that he would like to see the end of the sale of socalled bump stocks which dont improve the accuracy of the gun but certainly improve the or enhance the fire power of a weapon but even though the president has certainly been scoring some points with the American Public in terms of his stance on some of these issues talking about how he was even willing to take on the National Rifle association within this meeting donald trump managed to stir up controversy again when he began to criticize the response of a Police Officer that was stationed at that school in florida when the shooting took place the president in the past has called him a coward but even went further this time when meeting with the governors to say in fact that. He was not. If. I got to watch some deputy sheriffs performing this week and they werent exactly. Medal of honor winners all right the way they performed was frankly disgusting they were listening to what was going on the one in particular he was then he was early then you had three others that probably a similar deal little bit later but a similar kind of a saying you know i really believe you dont know until youre tested but i think i really believe id run into even if i didnt have a weapon and i think most of the people in this room would have done that too because i know most of you but the way they performed was it was really a disgrace. We apologize for some of those technical problems were having with kimberly there at the white house but to be no ideas very much top of the agenda for curbing gun violence in the u. S.
