Welcome my name is neil harvey youre watching our international. Russia says that its setting up humanitarian corridors in the syrian enclave of Eastern Ghouta thats to let civilians out of the war ravaged district the area in question is located just outside the capital damascus has been occupied by multiple rebel and terrorist groups for years violence has escalated there once again recently with both sides exchanging fire and accusing each other of targeting civilians says that it will help establish a humanitarian corridor and launch daily five hour humanitarian pauses to provide the necessary aid to people in territories that are occupied by militants the United Nations has said that it will use the opportunity to help civilians five hours is better than no hours but we would like to see the any decision forces speak standard. Thirty days as the Security Council said but we will do whatever we can within the time that were able to work earlier the u. N. Security Council Unanimously approved a resolution that called for a nationwide cease fire across syria and this was done to enable humanitarian access and to evacuate injured civilians but despite the establishment of these corridors its not clear whether militants occupying Eastern Ghouta will let anyone out of has more. Resolution twenty four zero one which called for a pound syrian seized without delay so far is a dud everyone is interpret it in ways that suit them radical islamist terrorists ignore it Josh Al Islam the army of islam has not stopped shelling damascus dozens of casualties over the last few days alone the syrian army says it has the right to defend itself against extremists until the shelling ends citing a clause that excludes terrorists from this resolution but even then if you talk to syrians theres not all that much enthusiasm for this ceasefire. This truce is similar to the others and we will see it being violated this is the same old story and we are the ones who end up being harmed dont you see the children old people women and students who should we feel sorry for for these rebels. We are tired of shelling them every day about thirty to forty shells all here and some money mileage i am against the troops because it only benefits the rebels i hope that it will be over soon and that no gunmen remain there but its not only rebels and terrorists in east ghouta its also civilians russia has announced the establishment of humanitarian corridors by which people can leave east ghouta it says the syrian army will abide by a limited unilateral ceasefire to allow civilians to leave if they can rebels is limiting ghouta which include al qaida have barred civilians from leaving the enclave for years according to Amnesty International and others and reportedly they are still doing. So were talking here about the same rebels who caved woman on roofs as human shields against strikes so no surprise it isnt just damascus and east ghouta that are burning its afrin in Northern Syria to turkey which says it is exempt from the ceasefire because it is carrying out an operation fighting the y. P. Jeep syrian kurds whom it calls terrorists it says it wont stop its operation when we look at the un Security Council resolution we see that fight against terror organizations is outside its scope therefore it will not affect turkeys ongoing operation thousands have died over the last month of turkeys incursion turkish president ever do on and said this ceasefire has failed at this Point Resolution twenty four zero one looks dead on arrival author and writer bari atwan told us its too early to judge on the effect of the humanitarian pause but the idea is supposed to help civilians if they are allowed to leave. It is very very. Premature to tell actually what will happen but i believe this that people responded there are six million were allowed to leave school to all to leave the fighting it is definitely this will reduce human casualties among those people such as foreign minister Sergei Lavrov has claimed that theres a decision from Asian Campaign underway he says its targeting the Syrian Government first of all its want to hear exactly the words of love are of. Course are being planted in libya by corinne allegedly used in eastern good news outlets are citing an anonymous source from the us let me remind you weve been warning about such Great Stories since yesterday and there will be more such stories from social media from the White Helmets a provocative with a history of freak reports especially when it comes to Chemical Attacks for which there is no evidence so these provocations will continue with the single girls to blacken the Syrian Government using it evolved sorts of violations and work. So weve seen in the worldwide media claims of hundreds of civilian deaths some reports of chemical weapons being used what do you think what Sergey Lavrov has said is the Mainstream Media being balanced in its coverage definitely of it is that deliberate campaign i noticed for example as a journalist that there is no mention at all of the victims in the other side nobody mentioned talked about you know kind of so called does all of the capital damascus. Tensions are rising across italy is the country prepares to vote in a general election this Weekend Police have been deployed to the cities across the country to face opposing rallies or the defending or slamming center right parties Security Forces expect further protests on election day itself and even beyond is devoted expected to produce a clear winner in. Itself explains the key figures in the political stage. Its nice general election a show like no other starring a convict a tramp wannabe and a poster boy confused well let me break it down for office contender is the grounds old age of eighty one and has a scandalous past of ford convictions and sex scandals oh and hes also been the former Prime Minister of italy multiple times Silvio Berlusconi im still young so im ready to work. Well at least hes young at heart and he has plenty of supporters. I will vote for berlusconi and the rest i dont care about he gets things done. Due to his conviction he can become the Prime Minister himself but if his go italy party does well he could be the man to pick the head of the cabinet go italy its a coalition which spans the range of Italian Center right politics is thought they could gain thirty eight percent of the both part of this coalition includes our next contender Matteo Salvini and his leg a party for me and i want. Italians first. To tell us first wait a second doesnt that battle cry sound familiar America First and im sure theres more. What i admire and trump is the fact that he is keeping most of the promises he made during the Electoral Campaign now just like trump salvini tweets about anything and everything moving on swath it contender now the young face of the anti Establishment Party only thirty one years old the leader of the five Star Movement is seen by some as a bit of eye candy and he makes sweet promises to. We are the only Political Force that in recent years has made promises to the italians and this kept faith with those promises were the only ones to renounce the privileges of politics while the politicians continue to obtain these privileges i give up my annuity and cut my salary. Hes the complete opposite of the partys found and stand up comedian but they grillo his cool calm and collected and it seems to have captivated young voters i will go with tomorrow tomorrow will be a baton and point i hope that the five Star Movement comes to power because it understands us young People Better they are more aware about technology they think about the future of us young people but theyre still a huge group of those and show which way to votes on march the fourth poll suggest almost a third of eligible voters are either undecided or will abstain honestly i dont trust anyone anymore. For mean theyre all the same whichever Political Party it is they come here they make their promises i say this i will do that but in the end it was nothing they might have their reasons italy has seen sixty governments and even more Prime Ministers since the Second World War thats roughly new cabinets every fourteen months so well see if any of these cars can sway the voters and stay long enough to actually keep any of their promises polls also show the center left parties including the current ruling was likely to struggle at the election however sundra goes at least a junior minister for European Affairs under member of the Ruling Democratic Party believes that the large amount of undecided voters mean the outcome isnt set in stone. There are four million of it and yes for media every day yes you say that they would go to all the woods of course. They have to make up their mind and that is why the opinion polls of far are not reliable because. We depend on the movement on the electoral year of your all these four Million People and also there are people who are abstaining in the us in our elections who are saying they would have seen and it is the duty of all the Political Forces in this week to perswade. Number possible of voters to go to the polls because these are the relations they need to be very important for. For our positioning in the European Union and they see that they are also very important for the possibility to relaunch their European Union of.

Joe melandri from the uns Refugee Support Team<\/a> in greece says that the countrys overwhelmed with these remains one of the gate to europe and the famed this we that people me but not all put you need to share the responsibility within the european Member States<\/a> so they are under the pressure of this county not to this pool. Of many of the other members that seem to be trying to prevent that reproduce seeking as in their own countries we also are there were many cases these might bring are going to vision could even the action of these two going for sure on the sex environment but even more so then drew situation would be traffic or organs we need to prevent these children being put under the thing we need to identify their relatives and to speed up the process of reunifying of the children with their families. But also one of the holiest sites in jerusalem have been closed in protest against israels decision to levy taxes on religious properties the church of the holy sepulcher is believed to be on the site where jesus was crucified shared by the Greek Orthodox<\/a> armenian up of stalin and Roman Catholic<\/a> churches united in their fury at israels move on to pull a slayer has the story. Im standing here in one of the most sacred sites in christianity of the church of the holy city because this is a place where just believe that christ was crucified buried and ways are registered but as you can feed the door to the church is closed following a decision by Church Leaders<\/a> after jerusalem municipality announced it was going to start collecting tens of millions of dollars in property taxes from churches for church owned property without houses of worship now this flies in the face of a generations old agreement ive been talking to pogroms here from all over most of whom of course disappointed when it is they come to visit the city of jerusalem and the holy land and theyre leaving their families the pool of blood and deal for of money to spend on hotel as transportation. And so on to leaving their jobs and to leaving their family to come to his the church and they want to put the fun the church is closed we felt bad because we came all the way from the philippines and. This is actually one of the highlights or the highlights of the. Pilgrimage and we were already in front of the church when the church was closed and thats really bad we were sad because one of the main reasons coming to israel was to visit the church for us to have to find a peaceful solution says should talk about it like a human being. Sit down and dont use it politically for any saying not say israel is not such a church as nobody just sit down and live what religion should be it should be peaceful Church Leaders<\/a> are also concerned of a proposed legislation that they fear could result in the state being able to confiscate church land but the sponsors of the bowl say that theyre not trying to interfere with the church and what it does with its own property but only when that property is sold to a third. See here in Israel Properties<\/a> belonging to churches synagogues and mosques are not taxed its far from clear how the situation what was all that self coming as it does just weeks before easter policy are to to be slim. On monday russia vetoed a draft u. N. Security Council Resolution<\/a> that condemned iran over actions in yemen the resolution accused iran of supplying drones and missiles to the rebels in the war ravaged country instead russia offered to support a competing resolution that extends sanctions on yemen without mentioning iran the document was adopted unanimously correspondence miracle on the live line now from. Washington d. C. Its a mirror to take us through them the results of this vote. Well this is just after russia vetoed a draft resolution proposed by the u. K. That condemned iran over accusations that it violated an arms embargo but the Russian Ambassador<\/a> had some words lets take a quick look. At them but i think as governor i will bring you the wording of the answer in the british draft is liable to have dangerous destabilizing which ramifications and this is not only a political to the situation in yemen but also to the region overall this will inevitably escalate regional tensions and lead to conflict amongst key regional players and instead of antagonizing relations in the middle east what we need are measures to seek consensus through mutually respectful dialogue. Now in contrast the u. S. And u. K. Feel that iran should be condemned and that russia bolivia china and kazakhstan shielded iran from responsibility now first some context the crisis in yemen started back in two thousand and fifteen when saudi arabia led a military campaign against who these and the conflict has been described as the worlds worst humanitarian crisis but the meeting is still underway but well get back to you with the latest developments.
