And big aaron killing chang candidates who bought into poland first ever olympic gold medal and the menstrual gorge in fact. Im out on a welcome to the program we begin in syria where the government is escalating attacks on the opposition held suburbs of damascus known as eastern gusa for the seventh day running intense shelling has now killed five hundred civilians including many children the u. N. Security council has been unable to agree on a cease fire resolution in syria and has delays of votes on to later today but syrias key ally russia is blocking the resolution it says it wants guarantees rebel fighters in eastern goods there will halt the fighting will speak to the syria director of the safe thats. In just a moment but first this report. These are just the latest victims of the worlds inaction. Dragged from the rubble of devastated Eastern Ghouta after six Straight Days of bombing. Survivors are being treated in a makeshift hospital in the rebel held residential area outside damascus activists say this is the work of indiscriminate cluster bombs dropped by the Syrian Regime but while some receive treatment others grieve well a lot of more but. I knew he would go. I told his grandmother he would go. He didnt want to continue living in terror. I wish it had been me who was killed instead of my son. Yes i wish it had been me who was killed so i wouldnt have to grieve for you my son on the move. Some have lost hope others cling to it the work of First Responders here made ever harder by treacherous conditions and a lack of medical supplies and his death rains down from above world powers are still arguing about how to stop it. The u. N. Security council has been trying to agree on a thirty day humanitarian ceasefire but last minute amendments by russia forced a vote to be postponed to saturday. Swedens u. N. Ambassador voiced his exasperation. 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 solution adopted yesterday now we have not achieved i find that extremely frustrating given what we are faced with on the ground its been called hell on earth but the hope is an agreement could allow some relief to the people who top. Im joined now by sign yet cush who is the syria director of safe the children sanya you were in close contact with aid workers in eastern how difficult is their work on the ground right now they were it was extremely difficult right now because of the bombs that continue to fall we need to let up in the front part of it so that our teams on the ground can get out so they can assess whats needed so they can do distributions of supplies that they have but right now everyones just fearing for their lives their linnaean and all as theyre living in shelters it in basements they dont even see the light of day snow doing any kind of relief where under these conditions its very difficult. Were just looking at heartbreaking footage here at the moment of the situation there right now how are families and their children surviving you know as a family is insured in an eastern good to have been living under siege for more than five years now so theyre quite in a vulnerable situation already so with this recent bombardment is just making things so much more difficult for them children are already so terrified of the sounds of airplanes and and so you can imagine theyre just carrying in fear right now underground and afraid to come out their resilience is really being tested right now and we can only hope that the bombardment stops soon that theres a cease fire so they can get outside and get some relief. What would a cease fire allow you to do and is a cease fire even a no a cease fire in this case is not enough its a great first start and i really hope today that the Security Council gets to that point however since eastern bhuttos under siege a cease fire doesnt mean that all of a sudden medical supplies will get in that people will be able to be evacuated for treatment that will be able to get food and that will be able to get nutrition supplies for children a cease fire doesnt automatically mean out of that and thats what east includes her needs right now so in addition to this cease fire we need to really sustain to manage here in access to get people the support they need sanju push the syria director of save the children thank you.

They are targeting shipping companies accused of illegal trading with north korea its an attempt to force the regime to give up its nuclear and missile programs the us president says hes exploring all options well have to see of the sanctions dont work well have to go face to face too may be a very rough thing maybe very very unfortunate for the world that really is a rogue nation if we can make a deal itll be a great thing and if we cant something will have to happen with the increasing threats of military intervention weapons experts warn sanctions alone wont solve the crisis they see their Nuclear Weapons program as a guarantee of their security against what they fear which is an American Military attack theyre going to be willing to sacrifice Economic Activity in order to maintain their nuclear program.
