Of war in syria the u. N. Tries again to bring both sides to the table. New evidence of abuse by men miles military as a former u. S. Diplomat quits an Advisory Panel on the hangs a crisis. A morning commute and its lead to unstick tale soft train derailed leaving two people dead and dozens injured. And im far as small with the sport tennis world number one small know how it is through to her First Australian open final shell face second seed Caroline Wozniak if he survived a labor fight back in her semi final in melbourne. The new military front opened by turkey in the syrian war could further complicate un backed peace talks in vienna the past six days turkeys been attacking y e p g Kurdish Forces in the northern syrian region of the brain they want to push the fighters who say theyre terrorists from the area and create a buffer zone along turkeys border the Un Special Envoy for syria says the ninth round of talks comes at a very critical time in the conflict to speak not to hold up to her and she joins us live from vienna so what is there so far. Well certainly as you said the funding is to i said that these were critical talks we also heard similar comments from the head of the opposition delegation however we havent heard anything from the government delegation all we know that it has a right last night quite late here in vienna and is due to come to this building just behind me in about half hours time the u. N. Says that the round of talks will start with a meeting between the fundamental and the government delegation and then later in the day will meet the opposition now is anyone expecting anything to move i think at this point probably a lot of people will be skeptic about that just remember geneva eight rounders just which were in mid december didnt achieve much defender mr rudd the time had actually expressed really was a bit worried that. They had reached a deadlock he also blamed a lot the government delegation for not wanting to go ahead with with talks on the issues of constitution and elections which are the two main subject that should be discussed this time around in the geneva nine talks even if theyre held here in vienna and he had said at the time that he was frustrated because the government delegation was concentrating on the issue of terrorism and didnt want to talk about anything else now would that happen again this time does a lot of skepticism around certainly but i think also what you will have on the table is a conversation about the upcoming talks in sochi they should be held earlier early next week the opposition just as as of last night said that it will actually announce whether it will attend those talks called upon by russia along with turkey and iran at the end of the end of the talks here in vienna ok i mean as you mentioned the this is the ninth round of talks it was only in the eighth round back in december that the opposition came to the table as a unified voice how strong is that delegation this time round. Well certainly when they are trumpeting the fact that they have now become a unified voice there said theyre all here and they all stand together on their demands what you do know theres a bit of a shift in their demands in the sense that the moment theyre concentrating on rewriting a constitution and calling for president ial elections whereas the issue of the fate of Bashar Al Assad whether he can remain in power whether he can be part of a transitional period or not well that for the moment is put on the side the opposition wanting to show and that we heard that yesterday from the head of that delegation arsenal had to be saying we are here as one opposition one voice to put an end to the complaints by both not only to Syrian Regime but also russia that the opposition is fragmented and they said that taking that away from them that there is no reason anymore do. To really decry the opposition of being fragmented and russia having said more than once and the Syrian Government having also said that they didnt know who to talk to now the opposition is positioning themselves as a united front how do with this new military front opened by turkey in the syrian war an african region how does that complicate the masses there. Well certainly we that question was yesterday to the head of the opposition and it seemed that he was saying that actually he didnt really put it in those terms but basically he was trying to say that there was a group within the kurds a white b. G. Actually said that were actually behaving with impunity they were using violence to impose their rule of law and that could not happen so it seems at least from the opposition there was no there was no. Opposition to that i would say at this point at least publicly we also know for example that turkey feels quite confident that russia has given its green light for that operation at least in disco but turkey has declared so far but it does complicate the situation simply because the humanitarian situation the ground becomes more complicated you have many more displaced people now those of a free add that to the difficult situation for example in places like it live or situations like places like eastern luton that becomes very complicated that at the end of the day the east the Syrian People sit and watch all these talks happening whether here in vienna before in geneva they watch the opposition traveling far and wide around the world to gather support and momentum but they want to know when there be concrete steps that will actually put an end to that suffering and that is something that leader of the opposition or to government all the u. N. Can give an answer to a demo meant ok many thanks joining us there from vienna with that update us on a sensitive very complicated situation in syria for more now on who controls what in the country has a prayer. The better map of the Syrian Civil War has changed dramatically over the past year seemingly shifting the balance of power this is what syria looked like a year ago fractured between various sides Syrian Government areas are marked in red their opposition areas in queens the kurds in yellow at the top and i saw in brown there fast forward to now and the Syrian Government has managed to expand its control over much of the country and i saw has been pushed out into these tiny pockets the rebels have been further squeezed into the west in italy and some other parts like these pockets around cap of damascus in eastern guta and the Palestinian Refugee camp yarmouk which is split between various sides but whats of real concern is eastern guta with the Syrian Government along with this russian our eyes have intensified the airstrikes since november the regime has also titan is nearly five year long siege with devastating consequences for some four hundred thousand People Living there. Well the kurds they are in control of these big chunks of territory in the north Kurdish Group the y p g is facing turkish air and ground offensive in northwest in a free ankara considers Kurdish Groups in syria terrorists turkey is also training its eyes now on one big in the east to push kurdish dominated Syrian Democratic forces east of the a free distributor in an attempt to further secure its borders and that might make the complex war of syria even more complicated because the s. D. F. Is backed by turkeys nato ally the u. S. In its fight against myself. Of kabul as director of policy and. Is judy joins us now here in the studio good to have you with us are these u. N. Led talks in vienna i mean theyve theyve been billed as the last hope but really theres still no political solution in sight is there through i mean this is number nine now because this is the continuation of the geneva process but it has been moved actually from geneva to begin according to what are the u. N. Envoy to syria because of logistical reasons. We havent been seen actually much progress over the past actually few years since this whole process started actually in two thousand and fourteen nearly two thousand and fourteen and as i said we have been having now like this is mine and we i mean we dont expect much actually to come out of this of this town because most of the attention right now is focused mainly on switchy the russians actually they want to bring home most of the syrian parties actually to the switch a conference the believe that in suchi they can actually having some sort of consensus among syrias on two things. Number one is the new and your constitution which will be the way for president ial and parliamentary elections in syria and that hopefully will be leading actually to ending the conflict and establishing the way forward. For political solution the russians tried to create a parallel track and who is that so she who isnt at vienna because of course the opposition was very fragmented we had. Saudi. And they all come together under one umbrella and will they be in sochi or we talking about two different negotiating teams i mean. You can see that the people who are going to be invited are many more than those actually while attending in geneva in geneva we are having mainly the Syrian Regime on the one hand we are having the high and High Commission of negotiation on the other hand but the High Commission of negotiation includes in fact people from from what is called the we are the group. We have so many groups anyway but they are they presented in this begin talks anyway but why we are not expecting much to come out of this talks actually because we dont have the major powers actually putting bush i was on their clients in order to give Something Special were talking here about the russians and the iranians i dont think that russians and the iranians want to see progress in in vienna or in geneva they want to see it in fact in a stand in so this is where despite the fact that the russians are denying what the opposition is actually charging that the russians are trying to create some sort of a little talk actions are saying this is a compliment if you are playing actually to have the geneva talks by by bringing more syrians here to have the sort of consensus on the constitution and also on on the on the elections but i dont think that that what the russians are actually poor because the russians are having their own agenda here talking about. Their attempt actually in order to get something political now on the ground because they want to because then within want to very much to use it as a leverage in the upcoming president ial elections in in russia so this is also has its the mystic aspect i mean the russians. In order to solve the Syrian Crisis in vienna were seeing the two sides really sort of hunkering down in their positions arent they theyre not even coming to the same table and when we look at the situation in syria on the battlefield when assad really has so much the upper hand that hes he doesnt have to make any this is a very important point and this is the key actually point to the negotiations and i know the Syrian Regime still things and this is from the very beginning things that he can solve this with military approach he can actually finish of the opposition was a sort of political solution that he actually and its allies want very much so this is why if we dont see pressure of the russians from the iranians from the allies of the we are not going to see any sort of progress either in vienna in geneva. On any sort of peace negotiations so this is why we need all these regional and International Parties to come and agree for us and then try to impose a sort of political solution on the syrian parties as a very good to have years of thank you now billionaires and World Leaders a gearing up for a third day at the World Economic forum and switzerland the most anticipated event will give the appearance of donald trump has just landed in zurich hes now on his way to davos is the first u. S. President sitting u. S. President to attend the summit since bill clinton back in two thousand but with his America First agenda many are skeptical about what he can bring to the table of a global focused forum that. Joins us live now so james with trump arriving touching down there within the hour bringing his America First message will he be welcome. Well that is the big question as President Trump heads here from zurich where he arrived on air force one arriving here we think imminently on marine one in fact i thought i heard the roar of a helicopter which is just a couple of what miles away the landing zone for the president when he lands here on marine one yes we have the First Business woman president of the u. S. For decades but we have a businessman president who perhaps doesnt fit in with the sort of people who normally go to dav also its worth noting that in all his years running the Trump Organization he never came to this gathering how does he fit in with the views of the politicians and the economists and the Business People here while they very much stress Global Values global trade and yet you have a president for a year since his inauguration and he said it on the first day America First the white house is stressing is America First but not america alone and theyre saying that hes here to drum up trade in the u. S. Even that though i dont think is going to go down well because thats not what davos is supposed to be this isnt a trade fair its a discussion of the way the globe the Global Economy should move not normally a place where you sell your companies wheres it going with a huge delegation isnt what fun trumps the gender whos either thank you meeting. Well the meetings the key meetings i think we need to watch are happening in the coming hours or soon after his arrival here in devils hell be meeting one of the u. S. Is longest allies of course the u. K. And Prime Minister to resign may and then an important meeting given the situation in the middle east and trumps. Claims that he could be the man to bring peace to the middle east will be meeting again with the israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu but of course there have been no meetings for a very long time with the palestinian side those peace efforts look to be going absolutely nowhere after the u. S. Recognized jerusalem as israels capital and more recently after the u. S. Pullout pulled out some of the funding that it normally gives to the agency of the u. N. That deals with Palestinian Refugees under so talks with Prime Minister netanyahu worth watching those later today and the really big event here in terms of Public Events and public statements of course will be the speech of the president to dabble to the World Economic forum here on friday everyone is asking what tone will he strike will he try and speak to the people here in the sort of language that they normally hear or will you hear a very America First donald trump domestic type speech perhaps they will be watching it closely as well genspace thanks very much.

All this indicators were pointing towards planed intentions to poison and corrupt the entire operation and to evacuated from its a presumed democratic meaning and to push us into spaces which we are not able to handle we are honored to not participate. Twenty seven january marks the seventh anniversary of the egyptian revolution that brought down president Hosni Mubarak spoke to some of the people who were there seven years ago i chance of down with mubarak and wanted been enough to earn a beating from egypts feared Security Services but on january twenty fifth twenty eleven the police made only a half hearted attempts to stop hundreds of thousands of egyptians packing Tahrir Square in cairo to demand the resignation of president Hosni Mubarak i will rahman ferrous and i have join those protests seven years ago for what. We used to say that the revolution is coming that it was our dring to change the regime through revolution weve been protesting for years but it was only ever a few dozen one hundred people so the regime considered us a bunch of children. For three weeks mubarak clung to power he fired cabinet ministers and promised reforms but he refused to meet the main demand that the now millions of protesters nationwide were not moving they have to move. Democracy needs a change of these police. Amnesty International Says more than eight hundred forty people were killed during the revolution as once friendly governments from the u. S. And europe abandon the barrack the eighty two year old autocrat was isolated. Was finally on february eleventh twenty eleven resigned and handed over power to the military and the time out was. You know what then i. Would have a feeling i lost my voice i kept saying the people have overthrown the regime that it was a dream that came true i felt we had Something Like a mini democracy i felt competition between parties then sisi came egypts post revolution euphoria didnt last long its first democratically elected leader lasted just twelve months i the muslim brotherhoods Mohamed Morsi was overthrown in a military coup led by sisi. She shes now president im standing for reelection for a second term in march just like mubarak hes crackdown on dissent and silenced rivals and on the anniversary of that revolution Tahrir Square has been sealed off just in case Bernard Smith aljazeera. As a professor of Security Studies at the institute he joins us now here in the studio good to have you with us so another cans that has dropped out has left running. Pretty much no one all the syrian ones either withdrew or were forced to is drew like. Or were arrested by the military police like the case of journal on and so now more all of the you can call them the threatening candidates the deal candidates there one can contest against c. C. Credibly. Are gone so well probably see someone whos not that threatening probably pop up to have some sort of legitimacy so as he would want that probably wouldnt he would want someone to run they get said that just to my eyes is the election thats why he was twenty fourteen he was desperate for someone like. Me to to run and he got i think only three percent of the landslide victory was for c. C. So i think he will need somebody like that but someone with much less caliber than the ones who withdrew are the ones who are arrested as they are saying is that we saw these very high caliber military men coming forward to run against the theories that suggest that c. C. Doesnt enjoy total support from the ruling elite they come from different periods to cause a Prime Minister who is the head of the air force who is very much loyalist to the mubarak regime and with the deputy head of the Supreme Council of the armed forces and he comes from also a regime that ruled egypt between february twenty eleven all the way to june twenty twelve so these are two different regimes now which would looking at the very different regime that a large degree who treats around loyalist in the military and the security establishment who seems to be dominating currently the Supreme Council of the armed forces is very different from the one that we saw in forbid wanted of it in one thousand generals that used to use egypt used to do the egypt only two of them remained sisi and disappeared a minister of defense but all of the rest of the seventeen others are gone and the semi on an attempt was more or less trying to get back the power of the old military establishment and i dont think that you were successful so far. Seven years after the uprising do you think egypt is in a worse place now than it was at the start about the ousting of Hosni Mubarak the death or so so economically it is politically it is the first time you have that level of massacres and killing on the streets. These numbers of Political Prisoners on president and even on the mubarak extrajudicial killings disappearances and insurgency going on in sinai also unprecedented on the. Saw in terms of levels of instability in indicators of economic and political progress much worse than the mubarak times so well have to wait and see how these reactions because its a very big country. One hundred million its now the hundred million with very limited resources and very very repressive and corrupt regime so this combination does not lead to stability could we could see another uprising in the reasons i want to show thanks very much for joining us here. Now people fleeing the eastern democratic republic of congo are reporting a surge in killings rapes and abductions by armed groups the u. N. Says violence has pushed more than ten thousand people into neighboring uganda since the beginning of december welcome web report from the refugee transit camp in uganda.

Along with other new arrivals with back it continues her journey in a u. N. Truck u. N. Says more than ten thousand people of arrived here in the last month seeing a spike in violence at home and everyone we spoke to says they dont know which armed groups attacking them or why they say the fighters carry guns wear uniforms and speak languages from all over congo and neighboring rwanda since its not safe at home this refugee transit camps the better option. Side uncovered with the new arrivals first have to line up here and get their feet frayed if in fact and then everyone is made to come over here and wash their hands as well. After the journey must be tiresome to made to go through this but the camp managers say its necessary that everyone has to queue up here for a medical check in that sense at the end. Rebeccas baby twins kelvin and carole they are identified as severely malnourished. She says she hasnt been able to harvest her crops for weeks and so hasnt produced enough breast milk u. N. Officials say these kinds of problems a typical among those arriving at the transit camp before they can be assisted and taken to long term refugee settlements most of the reason hes always wind of it because when you talk to them to walk for a Long Distance we also have cases where women are they and the names of been sexually either or they have this cold here especially at night when kids will help keep the back as family warm until they can build a new home a husband in a small can still never go back.

Insists that he will run for reelection in october despite losing his appeal against corruption and Money Laundering convictions his lawyers are planning another appeal this time in the Supreme Court after his nine Year Prison Sentence was extended to twelve stories about reports. His boy lawyers denounced the ruling as a politically driven fos. These people are standing by. Theyre convinced he will be presumed next president despite a ruling that makes it almost impossible for him to run. The risk distance will never die we lost the battle but not the war president twenty eighteen. Again on wednesday an Appeals Court upheld his conviction for corruption and Money Laundering even increased the sentence to twelve years and one month one of the judges said there is no doubt that the former president was involved in a corruption scheme. I looked at these questions one by one reaffirming specifically that the issue of culpability is the largest vector for the sentence and i consider culpability to be extremely high in this case. It happened in the city of port city where extreme security measures were taken to prevent clashes between supporters and those who backed the courts decision. In sao paolo brazils economic capital many celebrated look at something nobody thinks he shouldnt be investigated because hes god all his companions are behind bars and are incriminating him we want justice should be arrested he must be convicted. Hes now seventy two he was prisons first working class president and is credited with lifting millions out of poverty. The courts judgment complicate his chances of making it to this years president ial race but remains defiant. For me this court ruling is an opportunity to travel through brazil and have a dialogue with the brazilian people now i can see that everything that theyre doing is to close the door to my candidacy as provocation is so shameful but now i want to be counted for the presidency of the republic brazilian law bans candidates who have been convicted from running for office there are two legal moves and make to avoid prison and to fight to be allowed to run in octobers election. But for many that will now be tougher than his supporters would like to admit. Donald trump says hes willing to be interviewed by investigators looking into alleged collusion between his president ial campaign and russia the us president told reporters he would speak under oath a special counsel Robert Muller this Investigation Team has so far charged for Trump Associates but so far theres no proof of wrongdoing by the president has the latest from washington d. C. A sense of confidence and optimism is what trump projected at least publicly he spoke to a group of reporters informally while at the white house im sure you know. That if you go to the market theres no structural work and im looking forward i believe the reason were going to let you go. And you know you are in of course you heard that important cause its that trump inserted there subject to the advice of his lawyers and the fear among trumps legal team is the president s penchant for hyperbole and for half truths and even lying to the American Public and to the news media for which hes paid little consequence politically but in a room before investigators and is under oath it is a different matter altogether and there is a fear that trump may perjure himself and he does not stick to the straight and narrow facts and the truth the fact though that this investigation has led to this point bringing the president himself face to face with investigators is an indication of the the circular motion of investigators first doing their homework with documents and then interviewing top officials and now reaching the apex of the president of the United States himself donald trump who said he has no idea when this interview will occur although it could happen in the next two to three weeks alison is the real cuba and west bank of finally gained access to three g.
