And as we head through into friday we get to around twenty four cylinder that were going to around twenty seven and here it should be fine and settled before the tools of south and theres a very large blob of cloud just to the east of madagascar that is our Tropical Storm and its developing working its way towards the northeastern parts of the island you see already plenty of cloud across that region and we are already seeing some very heavy downpours the whole system is expected to sink a little bit further southwards over the next few days but it is moving painfully slowly so this region is likely to see yet more to mention the heavy rains that could give us flooding on thursday and friday.

And trump has lashed out at his former chief strategist steve bannon to saying hes lost his mind if follows publication of excerpts from an upcoming book in which palin denounces trying to sell this treasonous and unpatriotic irans ambassador to the un is accusing the u. S. Of interfering in his countrys Domestic Affairs after washington some bastard called for an emergency un meeting to discuss antigovernment protests in iraq at least twenty two people have died in days of unrest. At least fourteen people have been killed in airstrikes in northwest syria this footage shows the aftermath of an airstrike which destroyed a hospital on the outskirts of it live three people were killed eleven people died in other strikes across it live in hama the Syrian Opposition says russian Government Forces carried out the attacks allegedly province is thought to be the largest remaining rebel held area in the country its inside one of the socalled deescalation zones set up last september in an effort to scale back the conflict with no letup in the fighting tens of thousands of civilians are fleeing the area so to hold the reports. They set up tents wherever they can on the side of roads in open fields syrians are still on the move trying to find a safe place many have already been displaced more than once these people are from the north and how much countryside and from the villages along the neighboring provincial borders of lib areas that have become battlegrounds and as we fled the bombardment and the airstrikes we cant go back because our house was hit and it is now destroyed they are targeting civilians and their homes not the rebels. The recent wave of displacement coincides with Winter Weather setting in making life even more difficult near freezing temperatures are common here and many fear they may have to live out in the open for a long time they have nothing to return to and some of their villages have been recaptured by Government Forces for many going back is not an option.

Hospitals bakeries markets have all been hit by airstrikes it live under rebel control in two thousand and fifteen it is also supposed to be a russian guaranteed deescalation zone it is a heavily populated province an estimated two Million People who live there people fear the presence of. A coalition dominated by a front which declared its independence from al qaida could be used as a pretext to launch an all out offensive the Russian Military did say the goal is to defeat that group in syria in two thousand and eight. People are worried proGovernment Forces want to storm rebels however believe the military campaign aims to recapture a military airport and lift the siege on to loyalist towns in the province whatever the objective the offensive continues to cause much suffering. Beirut. Has been found guilty the u. S. Court of taking part in a scheme to violate washington sanctions on iran kind of thriller and they fell those were accused of a tiller was the deputy general manager of whole bank the turkish state owned bank at the center of this scheme to launder iranian money in violation of u. S. Sanctions a filler was one of nine people charged by u. S. Prosecutors in the case but the only one to stay on trial his lawyers described him as a blameless pawn someone who was not. Knowingly involved in any scheme to do anything they put the blame on his boss and reza zarar who was the lead defendant in the case until he decided to plead guilty and testify against attila he also implicated president erda won in turkey has been aware of this case back when he was Prime Minister being aware of the scheme he claimed that he spent. Forty to fifty Million Dollars in bribes on bribes to a former economy minister and he said that until it was really the designer of this scheme and the jury apparently believe that even though there was no evidence that it to himself had ever taken any bribes in relation to this operation he now faces potentially decades behind bars for a scheme that he may have helped design but he others like saurabh got rich off of. Israels parliament has given preliminary approval for legislation making it easier for a court to impose the Death Penalty the law would apply to people convicted of murder in incidents classified as a terrorist attack currently the Death Penalty can only be used if a panel of three military judges passes the sentence unanimously but the new legislation would see a death sentence handed down if only two out of three judges agree the bill still requires three more readings before it becomes law faisel listed are valid the director of the center for the study of the middle east at Indiana University he says the Law Amendment should be seen in a wider context lets not forget that Prime Minister netanyahu Central Committee of Prime Minister Netanyahu Party has just. Passed a resolution to annex the settlements in the west bank which are universally recognized as occupied territory the settlements are illegal under international law. On the other hand the United States ministrations seems to be winking and nodding in the direction of a fairly hard line Israeli Government that it will not interfere with hard line policies on the part of the Israeli Government and there is a Political Climate in the arab world in which some rather significant arab countries are in a de Facto Alliance with the state of israel to confront iran and indeed the butler any former minister tweeted before the new year that the palestinian or the jerusalem issue is a secondary matter so there seems to be a sort of a coalescence of political factors that i think makes the Prime Minister of israel has never been particularly interested in resolving the problems of the palestinians. Making him feel that he can get away with us. If you force me to put money i would guess he probably can. Guineas government says its for today a coup against president Teodoro Obiang in one shot dead after Security Forces used gunfire to disperse what the government calls mercenaries gathered near the border with cameroon officials blame the alleged coup and opposition groups present as africas longest serving leader hes often accused of corruption and human rights abuses hes been in power for nearly four decades. Border checks introduced in parts of europe during the height of the refugee crisis is still in place despite the e. U. Calling for an end to them on the e. U. Rules controls can be put in place but only for a limited time pull resources more on why some countries are reluctant to give up their controls. From an open border for refugees to a closed border for anyone not carrying a passport or a swedish Identity Card swedens policy on opening its gates to Asylum Seekers during the crisis of twenty fifteen is long gone.

The closure of the balkan routes has led to a huge drop in the number of refugees arriving in europe yet sweden france germany austria norway and denmark have all continued to impose controls on that front t is. Those restrictions legally expired on november the twelfth on the article twenty nine of the schengen borders code but article twenty five allows the countries to extend them for six months if they claim serious threats to public order or internal security. Danes and swedes had previously been encouraged to see a newly branded region as a place in which they could freely commute between the countries they say the increases in their journey times are unjustified this is mainly.

Almost a circus a waste of time journeys of thousands of kilometers from the middle east and africa have finally ended here in recent years the question of whether Free Movement in the schengen zone can ever begin again is still in the. Whole race aljazeera. I think colombia peace deal with fog rebels is improving the delivery of Health Services to more remote regions aljazeera is how to send that m.

Are less hostile to military forces. Presence theyre starting to look up to the colombian state and im proud to contribute to. It is a classic hearts and Minds Campaign in a territory where peoples allegiances of long been. And where state presences been synonymous with military force see. The governments clear guidelines are to take advantage of the fact that these armed actors are not interfering in these territories so the state seeks to enter with all its capacity and avoid further institutional gaps that might be filled by new criminal. But in villages like those gaps remain filling them will require time and resources. Our health post is not enough for all the villages on the river and they attend only people with help wed love with the brigades could come twice a year. Most kids here have rarely seen a toothbrush let alone a dentist yeah it takes three to hold this patient down while he has this tooth pulled out his mother says bringing him to a doctor ten hours down river was never an option i know in spite of the government efforts to improve the delivery of Health Services a major logistical problem. Last year sixteen percent of colombias rural population to forgo medical care because of distances to services. Over the course of the day hundreds are taken care of twenty two year old student stephanie says its worth giving up her weekends. I just like how i feel when people think when i can contribute to those without the opportunity or the money to get to a doctor for them i do that understand Civil Military brigades will hardly be a long time fix for chronically Poor Health Care but me by the state some time as it tries to pacify these restless areas for good i listen to them. Cities in the u. S. Are bracing for extreme cold and may just no storms in the northeast the cold snap is expected to worsen in the coming days its caused some parts of the Niagara Falls to freeze all ready.

I think that is a ridiculous accusation and one that im pretty sure weve addressed many times from here before if thats in reference to comments made by mr bennett id refer you back to the ones that he made previously on sixty minutes worry called collusion with russia about this president a total farce so i think i would look back at that if anybodys been inconsistent its been him certainly has been the president or this administration. If the o. P. s government says it will release and pardon all Political Prisoners the surprise announcement by the Prime Minister will see them the tourist prison turned into a museum it follows months of antigovernment protests a turkish banker has been found guilty in a u. S. Court of taking part in a scheme to violate washingtons sanctions on iran mahmoud how can i tell and they tell those who are accused of moving billions of dollars worth of iranian money through american banks disguised as food and gold sales to was an executive at turkeys state owned khalq bank Israels Parliament has given preliminary approval for legislation making it easier for a court to impose the Death Penalty its witnessed next stay with us in the philippines millions live in overcrowded slums but some of found another place to call home Public Cemeteries one of those living among the dead at this time on aljazeera.
