Victims of gun violence demanded stricter gun control. And you will get the highlights from the Winter Olympics and south korea including the wailing finish in the womens ice hockey final as team usa beats top favorites canada to bring gold for the first time in two decades. We were here at the Berlin InternationalFilm Festival went there one premiere at museum with guy and as he added now stay tuned well bring you the latest. On the boy. Thanks for your company everyone. The u. N. Security council is debating a possible cease fire in the suburb of Eastern Ghouta on the outskirts of the syrian capital damascus well it follows a. Day of International Condemnation by the un chief the un tonio with dennis who called it hell on earth and by the red cross which has called for access to civilians under bombardment for residents of eastern there is nowhere to hide from unrelenting airstrikes carried out by the forces of president Bashar Al Assad is military says its targeting only what it calls terrorists but in the kind of monitors say the shelling has killed more than four hundred civilians since sunday many of them children. Hell on earth and theres no escape this hospital now a graveyard. Government work planes have been pounding eastern cuba for the fifth consecutive day children are under siege in one of the most brutal bombardments this war has ever seen the mobile. We were unable to evacuate our patients or treat them. We had to do one of the operations under the rubble. Because we couldnt evacuate we had to do it under the rubble. The outrage is palpable speaking to germanys parliament chancellor Angela Merkel called the assad regime conduct a massacre. The horrifying events that were seeing in syria the fight of one regime not against terrorists but against its own population killing children destroying hospitals all of these constitute a massacre which needs to be condemned and we say a clear no to this. And that. But an opposition politician said that without action words are hollow. Its not enough just to say that we are condemning it she said that germany going to try a bigger role there no idea what shes talking about i want to see you consequences as the airstrikes continue relentlessly russia a key ally of the assad regime blames the rebels holding duty for the regions humanitarian crisis. Are we can talk to mark milley us now from the Aid Organization care in amman jordan good evening martin i understand that partners of your organization care were active in the region until roughly two days ago is that correct. There are here are you still in touch with people in eastern guta what are they telling you. Yeah therea still attach on daily basis we hear from our partners and you know the space that kelly has been desperate desperate cries for i have has been really really better stating that i last five days and even survey at lunchtime we already had dozens of casualties reported throughout taylor he had an aerial bombardment on a really really what is densely populated neighborhoods did they describe what buildings were being targeted yeah i mean weve heard really its. Its sadly very similar to what we had seen and our level last year you know that really targeting off medical facilities that bakeries markets. Water infrastructure so that it the roads and nobody can go out people are sheltering in that basements that theyre frayed for their lives i heard this morning the door judge was Year Old Girl was saying i dont want to die i still have dreams its really really destroyed the people that you spoke to how are they protecting their families what are they doing to stay safe. I know the woman did it she told me i mean this is normal this is normal bunkers i mean its there for him down in the basement if they can or what hes going out by one of the women she told me in the morning saying that you know my hands on hope now that they can actually shelter my children and when chile is just to sit there and hope and the hope is getting didnt hurt for survival so theres nothing this is theres nowhere it has nowhere to go its one hundred square kilometers densely populated theres no way in or out so it is a racially nothing nothing you can do to your project your family what needs to happen to ensure humanitarian access which is as you describe mostly needed at this moment. I mean we support obviously the call for an immediate cease fire and we hope that the security cameras are or will remember something. Its all right. Behind closed doors that there is an immediate cease fire and injured people can be evacuated that humanitarian aid can be delivered are we talking really very things like quarters for medication that we havent been able to bring in for quite a significant amount of time all right thank you so very much martin millions from the Aid Organization care in amman jordan thank you thank you. All right now we shift our focus now to the u. S. Where there in an emotional listening session in the white house with victims of gun violence President Donald Trump suggested teachers carry concealed weapons all the focus of the meeting was on students and parents speaking out on gun policy reform with feeling still fresh and raw after the Florida School massacre trump vowed to go hard on tightening background checks. It was cold a listening session but President Trump had plenty to say. Meeting at the white house with survivors of gun violence and victims families trump suggested one solution to School Shootings could be more guns and this would only be obviously for people that are very adept at handling a gun. And it would be its called concealed carry where a teacher would have a concealed gun on them they go for special training and they would. Be there and you would no longer have a gun free zone gun free zone to a maniac. Because theyre all cowards a gun free zone is lets go in and lets attack is anybody like the father of a boy killed in the two thousand and twelve Sandy Hook School shooting didnt think much of the idea. School teachers have more than enough responsibilities right now then to have to have the awesome responsibility of lethal force to take a life. Thank you. Nobody wants to see a shoot out in a school and to arrange sociopath on his way to commit an act of of murder in a school with the outcome knowing the outcome is going to be suicide is not going to care if theres somebody there with a gun thats their plan anyway trump also vowed to improve background checks and said he was open to raising the minimum age for buying high powered weapons but it was a meeting heavy with role emotion just doesnt make sense fix it should have been one School Shooting and we should have fixed it i turned eighteen the day after or up to the news that my best friend was gone. And i dont understand why i could still go in a store and buy a weapon of war. Chance listening session is unlikely to quieten the growing calls from School Students for stricter gun laws. The student led movement to End Gun Violence continues to Gain Momentum and on wednesday demonstrations and walkouts were staged across the u. S. Despite warnings from some School Districts that students would be punished for taking part we have this report from washington. We are going to go for the fake upset. We are taking. They are the mass shooting generation the seventeen year olds were born into a world where School Shootings have become normal today they skipped class to protest at the white house for more gun controls their message to politicians this clear. Were going over to the funny at a Midterm Election were going to go to the point on elections and none of them are going to steer the ship was. Dr kay kay. Other organizations like mom steam and action have joined the coal for stricter gun laws in a country where ninety one people die from firearms every day the fear of violence is always there i feel anxious dropping my child off the next day i know that even with all of the drills that we do we do lockdown drills in our schools twice a year we ask our children to be locked inside of a cabinet or a closet and to be silent and basically rehearse their own slaughter in their schools but as we saw in parkland all of the preparation in the world cannot stand up to an error fifteen. Moms demand action one to background check for each and every gun purchase in the United States they say its the only way to keep weapons out of the hands of mentally disturbed. Enter patrick is a spokesperson for the coalition to stop gun violence he sees better background checks as the absolute bare minimum patrick says President Trump should push forward with a ban on bomb stocks devices that allow weapons to fire faster hes feeling the pressure a little bit on this issue if hes serious about it he will support a ban on bomb stocks in congress and sign it when it gets voted on after congress he has not called for that yet thats the really the only thing that can make real change in bending the right up there a freight you know just recently in our county a student came to school with a loaded gun and it was just one day after the pardon shooting and so that really scared me and that was that was when i first that was one of the first times where i really felt unsafe going to school i was on my i was on my bus on my way there and i was like well whos to say that my school is not going to be next are you afraid of a school. Sorting in your own school dad im a completely afraid of our security at school think you need to be high in completely after these type of event keep reoccurring everywhere you need to make a change make a change in the gun laws make a change in security make stricter gun laws stricter security make a school a safe place not a place he should having died about possibly having school get shot up every day and the only way to make a difference is if the kids in the school get out and make a difference and stand up where we are in our Nations Capital that thats whats going to make a difference not just sitting in school and letting these things happen every year because its not its not going to change. Today day for been sitting for hours in front of the white house to protest sent to remember the victims of gun violence victims that could have easily been their own classmates. President trump has also come under fire from Amnesty International which says his policies market a new era of human rights regression in the United States and around the world and its annual report the rescue criticize trumps human rights record are there activist groups have also expressed concern about what they see as a rise in religious and racial intolerance on the trunk presidency. For the first time and this internationals and all report is being released in the us capital washington d. C. For the Human Rights Watch jack its supposed to send a clear message and the secretary general explains why the United States is a country which has huge influence across the world but we have a president who has introduced the global gag rule play for you the settlement numbers and who has introduced a muslim so we want to hold a kid to highlight a serious Human Rights Violations which are being caused by this country and the message is clear that you know if you sacrifice human it comes at a huge human cost and it will never make America Great again. Muslim organizations are also concerned about Current Trends the council of American Islamic relations has been challenging religious stereotypes since one thousand nine hundred ninety five founder Ibrahim Hooper says their job has become harder under President Trump. Obviously this president has issues in terms of his personal views on on White Supremacy on racism on being against immigrants or people of color somehow he believes he benefits from increasing divisions within within society and as he creates the divisions he decreases respect for the constitution for democracy itself and thats something thats very troubling the u. S. Congress muslims who work on capitol hill are allowed to pray here every friday a right granted to them in one thousand nine hundred seventy the amount leading todays prayers says it underscores americas openness towards different religions. The First Amendment you have the right to pray and this is the peoples house thats what we call the captains the peoples house and if you work here you work or you have the right to pray here you had me up to my leak has warships in congress for ten years he has a different view on how to ease the current tensions in American Society. What we need now to right this tension that were seeing and being exacerbated by the Trump Administration is for us to look at the fundamentals of what is happening to the middle class poor and working class white people not not just latinos not just blacks and we and im one of them i left my white brother behind and so his responses to say well if you didnt care about me i dont care about you that has to be fixed the Midterm Elections in november will take the pulse of American Society and will be a crucial test for the Trump PresidencyAmerican Voters will have their say and they may decide to absent the balance of power in congress. Are and im joined now by marcus vick o. Secretarygeneral for Amnesty International in germany thank you for coming in and spending time with us mr because this is an annual global Progress Report on human rights around the world who are the worst offenders and which countries are you most worried about. We have very gravely concerned about one trend and that is that certain governments and political actors openly neglect International Law neglect human rights stand and they do that actually with the aim to challenge the International Auto we have established since World War Two they do this to d. C. Stabilize International Institutions and challenge that consensus of the universe and that day they could ration of human rights issue make that more concrete to provide some examples of that that illustrate this point yes we see we see it as well regarding china and russia in the Security Council way to actually prevent that perpetrators and. Human Rights Violations are being prosecuted so youve either to the fact that if theres a motion in the Security Council to do with human rights that they often use their veto to block any so weve seen that weve seen weve seen seen that with yemen and we see the results which resulted in grave schuman italian catastrophes and many injuries and Human Rights Violations and do you think that as a consequence a lot of leaders are acting with impunity that is do is so thats why governments all over the word. Now needed to step up for this International Law to step up for human rights step up for all of those conventions we have secured over the past seventy years. And defend this framework and defend the idea of human rights do you feel that is under threat that that that convention that so many of your colleagues have worked for over the decades its for sure that these governments and political activists who who are challenging us they want to turn back the clock so i think we all have to live up to that challenge governments on the Mountain National for in that multinational photo but also each government showing and demonstrating their commitment to human rights within their Foreign Policy but also within that internal policies who would still like to see step up at the moment which country which leader do you feel really needs to step up now and uphold human rights i think everybody is being asked to do that every government but of course now speaking sitting in germany i do think that the European Union and the german German Government can do much much more but first of all they also have to live up to dare all been engaged and the e. U. Currently is is not doing that is not fulfilling their obligations bede internally it dealing with Member States who are challenging human rights were using of hate like hungry all who have challenging the rule of law like poland its important that they send a strong signal here but also of course regarding the european foreign policies signing deals with other states and neglecting human rights in these and youre also i suggest probably are referring to the refugee situation currently in europe is that also what is that cost because we see that th
