Supreme Court Justices the rest. Of the government declares a state of emergency. Simmering political tensions explode again in kenya where an opposition figure has been charged over a mock swearing in ceremony. And british women marking a century of Voting Rights with a warning about the state of politics today. We begin in syria specifically the rebel held enclave in east damascus forty people have been killed that the death toll is rising by the hour as the Syrian Government and its russian allies bombala with strikes the Aid Organization the White Helmets filmed the scenes of devastation as they pulled bodies and survivors from the rubble. Meanwhile. Investigating reports that bombs containing chlorine have been against civilians in rebel held areas syrias government has also deployed new antiaircraft missiles to the front lines and aleppo. Was battling rebel fighters in the area seen an escalation in fighting and aerial bombardment in recent weeks with hundreds of civilians that are killed. Residential areas are often the target buildings flattened civilians killed and injured pro Syrian Government forces have been on the offensive into the opposition held province of live for weeks now but since fighters from how you have. Shot down a russian aircraft and killed its pilot it has escalated. Russian syrian aircraft have carried out dozens of air strikes in a number of towns in the past forty eight hours. At least two major hospitals have been hit one of them is now out of service the assault is being described as one of the fiercest yet it includes a suspected chlorine attack in the town of sirte now the syrian army says it has deployed air defenses and antiaircraft missiles to the front lines in aleppo and to cover the airspace of the norse it says the deployment is a message to every one. Hundred or russian and they are controlled by the russian intelligence regime so this is russia we need to understand there is a direct confrontation between the u. S. And russia its dangerous because at the same time trying to force its presence in the area the deployment of antiaircraft missiles could also be a message to turkey its planes are using syrian airspace in its offensive against the kurdish in turkey had russian backing to do so but at the same time the Syrian Government has threatened to shoot down turkish jets on the ground turkeys army is deployed deep inside it live where it set up posts as part of the ask them a deescalation ago. He meant turkish troops are now positioned less than five kilometers from pro Syrian Government forces the northwestern corner of syria. Russia the United States turkey and iran are the main players pro Syrian Government forces want turkey wants to clear out free from the and its no coincidence that iran is now calling on turkey to stop its military operation and the players are sending political messages to each other and its not the first time. On the battlefield. And its not the first time civilians are the pawns the other main rebel stronghold in syria the damascus suburb of eastern is also coming under heavy fire and many civilians have been killed and injured in the besieged area the United Nations is calling for the fighting throughout syria to stop for a month to allow aid deliveries in evacuations of the sick and wounded that call is unlikely to be heeded at least not until the latest round of negotiations is settled on the ground to. Beirut. Head of policy and. She joins us here good to have you back with us while we say this escalation of the killing of civilians and right now i think the government of president Bashar Al Assad has been trying. For the contrie for the past few months in fact because this is the last stronghold as you know for the syrian opposition. Has been able to threaten the heart of the cover tell from that particular was but you cant actually separate whats going on in. Happening in the rest of the country in deescalation zones. Almost everywhere there is no discussion in fact this commission everyone. Other places around the country and i think that is very much in my opinion the lead to due to the state of the solutions. Being due to be waiting property in the bees. Weeks especially concerning syria. The russian president believes that there is a new viewers policy in syria in order to make the russian intervention in this country more costly in the sense that they want to assure russia to be there is there is real fear in moscow to do it that the americans might be actually threatening syria into iraq going to stand for the russians we have seen actually attacks using doors against me mean and beers on the eve of the new year and we have seen over the past couple of days in fact last saturday that downing of the russian warplane. And the russian suspect very much that that was actually a man bag that was used actually against there may be a u. S. Missile that has been actually used against that and that is a reminder of. Americas did in afghanistan between nine hundred seventy nine and one thousand nine hundred eighty nine when the abroad why did. I deal with similar what actually to. The air force of the russian of the soviet union at that time is that why weve been seeing the deployment of antiaircraft missiles to the front lines in. That area is that going to be a game changer i think i think that is also related very much to the fear that the americans might be actually targeting the city and the regime. Military bases because in the recent in recent weeks we have we have actually witnessed an escalation in terms of rhetoric by the americans accusing the Syrian Regime of using chemical weapons against rebel held areas. And in as well so the Syrian Regime the russians and allies are expecting that the americans actually might be targeting Syrian Regime forces because of these allegations so this is a. You hadnt seen the deployment of the signs in several places. Weve been hearing word strong was. Crimes act today saying that the strikes that weve been seeing on hospitals make a mockery of the escalation as you mentioned very strong words but do they carry any weight. I think that will depend very much of course i mean in terms of morally it does but that would be been very much but that will depend very much on what the americans will be doing because we have seen over the past couple of these americans lying i should do so a new resolution the United NationsSecurity Council condemning the Syrian Regime for using. Chemical weapons and other. Weapons but the russians they have been actually. Actually managed actually to veto that resolution so well see what the what the that what the administration is up to in terms of dealing with russia in terms of dealing with the allegations about i mean you would use of chemical weapons in simple and civil increases in syria i mean these allegations i mean the what the time a distinction might be doing is in fact taking very seriously by what the russians and the Syrian Regime this is experience also what i talked about later in fact earlier about the deployment of. Missiles in several places in syria ok speak to thanks for coming in. Position to Supreme Court judges and the maldives have been arrested former president.

February marks the centenary of women being given the right to vote in the u. K. Activists at the forefront of the campaign at the time well known as suffragettes being on a new exhibition in londons Trafalgar Square and Barry Phillips is. In the shadow of no films. Where suffragettes held so many rallies a special exhibition to celebrate their achievements fifty nine of the leading campaign for the womens vote the Prime Minister to resign may of course britains second female Prime Minister will also be celebrating in a speech in manchester but shell strike a more somber tone shell talk about what she says is a threat to democracy the amount of abuse that women face particularly online when they try to become involved in politics ive been looking at some of the other ways in which British Society is commemorating this very special. An epic victory celebrated in the museum of one hundred years since the first british women got the vote all thanks to the suffragettes who took on the establishment and won. It wasnt easy they chained themselves to fences outside Parliament Many were arrested beaten went on Hunger Strike one even threw herself at the kings horse in the famous dopy race. She died but the cause did not. The suffragette struggles but they ultimately won but what would they make the British Society today one hundred years on with they believe that women have achieved true equality. It wasnt until nine hundred twenty eight that younger and poorer women were also given the vote and says this very in character actor the suffragettes always hoped to inspire future generations when we went off i guess now going to be the end of all the fights you know were going to have to keep fighting im sure and i just hope that we can set the precedent for that and they keep fighting just as hard as we. She no doubt would agree Emily Pankhurst leader of the suffragettes and great grandmother of helen who wonders if the glass is only half full every single measure of political equality we still have so far to go in every single parliament and in particular i need you k. We only have thirty two percent representation of all other aspects of democracy so the legal system the the media reporting of parliaments and of politics we still have a lot to go no. Comedy throws light on women struggles today this is humiliating but it also made the families because the first week in our relationship that i earned him. With british institutions from parliament to the b. B. C. Hit by revelations of gender discrimination. It feels like were just failing over and over but we have to remember the suffragettes failed for over fifty years they only succeeded once and we only need to succeed once they are impossible is our normal life and we are the hopes of the suffragettes was. Debt to the heroines of the pos maligned in their day as misguided radicals we remember them as being on the right side of history Bobby Philips al jazeera london. Was tonight in westminster a special gathering of all the current women and peace and all those who have ever been elected in the past the biggest gathering of female politicians in this country ever no doubt reflecting on how far theyve come and how far the still is to go im gonna be put into fall back to you in the studio. Thats going on the weather from rob how do you can tell us why rob snow in the u. S. Falling sometimes too quickly they have ideal conditions of yes they were talking about lake effect snow you cold air warm water huge potential and very often as its big contrast in temperature you inject emotion and it feels to give what i get it did just the same yesterday actually in iowa to show you a little bit of video just seeing how wintry this feels now you cant tell from the cold except by looking at just how people are walking but the rate of fall of snow there was the more critical thing you know Something Like fifteen centimeters fell thinking about twelve hours now its hard to cope with that of course it uses white hot conditions so the interstate between iowa and missouri the state society had a big part of it and was closed that you know its a contrast in terms often does this so that cloud has gone through taking the snow with this more still gathering and this little paler this is the real critical bit minus six in chicago plus seven or six huge area but somewhere in that area theres a big difference in terms of big gradient and thats where the snow really fulls so theres the cold at the real coldest get up in the prairies the midwest is and still subzero to be ours that does feel cold down there but denver mile high city is often called is plus eight says clearly a change going on and thats chasing the snow with it so that start to start here in. Denver through nebraska is on its way once more to chicago and then it joins up with more warm some more from the south i think the northeast is in for an interesting time in the next two days. Laura. Had the second offer of this new Israeli Forces say theyve killed a palestinian man wanted for the shooting death of a septa. Look at the Free Ambulance Service that saving lives in somalias capital. Of the eagles have landed back in philadelphia off to the super bowl victory of the posse is undoubtedly yes. The scene for us when theyre on line which is a very nice time in yemen that peace is possible but it never happens not because the situation is complicated but because no one cares or if you join us on sent their people the little choosing between buying another commission and eating this is a dialogue i want to get in one more comment because this is someone whos an activist and has posted a story join the global conversation at this time on aljazeera. The carpet. Again you know without his there his reminder of our top stories this hour at least forty people have been killed in Syrian Government and russian ass trikes in the rebel held enclave of east and syrias government has also deployed new anti aircraft missiles to the front lines and. A political crisis in the maldives is deepening off the arrest of an Opposition Leader and two Supreme Court judges. A state of emergency was declared. And european markets have recovered some ground off the london paris and frankfurt all dropped by more than three percent in early trading asian markets were hit harder hong kong and japan both closed down around five percent following big losses on wall street. The market turmoil is happening twenty years after a much bigger disaster of the Asian Financial crisis that began with the collapse of thailands currency the baht spread across east asia the contributing factors was high public debt in the affected countries including laos now there are similar warnings about governments in the region boring too much money in hay reports and allow some capital. The coffee industry in laos is one of the Fastest Growing in asia its output is still small compared with regional leaders like vietnam and indonesia but fuelled by increasing demand from neighboring china production grew by more than eight percent last year bro is say laos has a real opportunity to take the industry to the next level through improved infrastructure like better processing facilities he must have financing but despite it being one of the few lao export products is no sign the government is willing to help. On regard projects on hydropower on mining on tory right no small are not enough supporters. Indeed the government has big plans to shake off the tag of one of asias poorest countries it wants to graduate from the United Nations least developed country status in the next twelve years and its turned to china to help fund big projects like this Economic Zone just outside the capital. Which is being built in anticipation of the city expanding quickly and a six billion dollar high speed train line that are run from southern china. But the amount of money the lao government is borrowing for the projects is causing concern. Public debt is estimated around sixty eight percent of g. D. P. And almost half of the money is being borrowed from one source china. Financial sources. To be risky because. This is going to be exposed through this business over china created. The lao government says big investment is vital if its to improve the livelihood of its people one priority is health care which like many aspects of laos society has fallen into disrepair through poor governance and neglect the main hospital in the capital was built by the french in one thousand nine hundred three and is head few improvements since but as part of the Governments Health care reforms work will soon begin on a new hospital to be built on the same size built with chinese money wayne hay al jazeera. Israeli army says it has killed a palestinian man who is wanted over the death last month shot dead twenty one year old. In jenin in the occupied west bank are always accused of killing rabbi. In an illegal israeli outpost on the ninth of january two all the palestinians were killed in raids during the month and. Thats where. Is said to have been killed so show us the scene that was said to have happened. Well i would this is tell us that around four thirty am in the morning on tuesday around seventy army Israeli Army Jeeps came into the surrounding area there were also two bulldozers there were loud booms being heard now they concentrated their activity of the israeli army on the building yet that its a abandoned building say the villages where they didnt realize that there was somebody in that around about seven am the israeli army took a body out of that building on a carrier they say that body belonged to ahmed says there are and theyve confirmed it through their Security Agency rather than the israeli army now the found the have also confirmed the boys death in fact in a neighbor village of but again large crowds have gathered outside of the mothers house the mother issued a statement on the same but an interview where she was saying that they the son had died for the palestinian cause also the Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu has reacted as well saying the killing was just a style thats a very emotive word that he used there was no real justice taking place there was no court case there was no jew process so clearly the use of the word justice was deliberate on his part how mouse of also reacted as well saying resistance the occupation is alive and well in the west bank despite the fact the Palestinian Authority have a security coordination agreement with the israelis as you can see villages here have been around this building all day weve been hearing from a lot of them a lot of them say that this was a very big israeli raid certainly it sounds that when you talk about numbers like seventy jeeps arriving it. Thanks very much for joining us and things that seem met from. African and european leaders are meeting in rome to talk about refugees its been a year since at least signed a deal with libya to stop refugees and migrants from traveling to europe on crowded boats the strategy is part of a broader european approach that Amnesty International says is placed thousands of people in abusive detention camps but torture is rife so youre close look at the numbers in this crisis since the start of this year seven thousand two hundred forty two people have made the dangerous journey to europe as according to the International Organization for migration in east seven thousand of those which were by sea the two hundred forty five made the journey by land two hundred forty three migrants either died or went missing was crossing the mediterranean and has seen the highest number of arrivals so far this year many coming from nigeria guinea ivory coast bangladesh mali and eritrea turn a whole has more from rome. So fourteen nations at least forty nations in gauge here the Italian Foreign ministry in rome in what is an ongoing conversation between the countries in africa that actors countries of origin and transit for the many many thousands of people trying to make their way to europe and the socalled host countries in europe that receive them which of course italy is a prime one the conference heard that the numbers had been decreasing quite encouraging really over the two thousand and sixteen seventeen period in large part of they havent said it here because of italian methods of dealing with the libyan coast guard encouraging them to turn people back but in fact turning them back to camps that have been described by aid groups and activists as prison camps and Detention Centers where Smuggling Networks are rife and exploitation rife was well that will have to be dealt with here in terms of protecting the human rights of those involved in this migration and as well as that as outlined by the Italian Foreign minister defeating the socalled Business Model of smugglers but he said finance terrorism and looking out for the return of fighters i still fighters coming back to their countries of origin in europe using these routes its all about human rights its all about protecting and saving lives its all about bringing together many many countries in a common cause common and difficult cause with multiple competing interests. U. S. Defense actually james mattis is set to make his first congressional testimony of the year he along with joint chiefs vice chairman general paul silva will be talking about the new to for National Defense strategy and Nuclear Posture review of a Defense Strategy outlined by masses last month focuses heavily on how to counter russian and chinese aggression even as President Donald Trump calls for closer relations with those two countries and the nuclear of you calls for the trumpet ministration sees as a long overdue modernization of Americas Nuclear arsenal make it more sensible this is clyde will close hes professor of government at Georgetown University joins us live good to have you with us so as well what do you think of the National Defense stress well its a pretty well constructed document its a Long Term Strategy rather than short term so we have terrorism is still on the agenda but its number five the first two are the two big geopolitical rivals russia and china and china seems to be first and russia sort of second but its a visioning them all tie. Dispersion of encounter with either country so but the devils in the details and we have eleven pages on classified and thats not a lot ok terrorism number five is that the right place for it well i think like i said this is a long term range right and so long term where would the major danger come from move come from nuclear powers. But china and russia are they they the most main threats in your opinion that the u. S. Is facing so theyre saying bear in mind that theyre trying to figure out what to do to build the military who would you want to build the military against these big powerful countries right so these kind of strategic statements are often about how to get more weapons for the military both of those are big armies and well armed and the series is this going to help him modernize build up his Nuclear Arsenal as well i mean thats going to cost a huge amount of money and basically the problem here is that we just had tax cuts of one point five trillion dollars in the markets are reacting very skittish leave an already. So the devils going to be in the details how what they can actually manage to do with the budget they actually have and going back to their terrorism being at number five i mean the battle against the ice so. Yes they are not as strong as they were but they havent completely disappeared al qaeda still exists the taliban in afghanistan still exists where does the u. S. See itself in these battles well i think number five is still pretty high right so i think the plan is not to give up on those those issues and i think one of the things that mathis will be questioned about a lot is how do we maintain a war on terror while still restructuring forces in the long run to be able to encounter encounter a multifunction confrontation with either of those two to power to the American People are buying this they are happy that this is the new outlook for america the American People are paying any attention to this at all right but theyre certainly not in favor of buying a whole bunch of new Nuclear Weapons from the sea that ok well maybe america will be a bit more interesting if it comes to it but applied for a moment thank you very much for joining us thanks. The u. S. House Intelligence Committee has voted to release a democratic memo as a rebuttal to a controversial republican document president declassify the republican memo on friday it condemns allegations of f. B. I. Bias and abuse of power in the way one of his advisors was investigated democratic paper highlights flaws in that report it all has to do with the probe into whether russia interfered and to the two thousand and sixteen president ial election i think its going to be very hard for the white house like it was hard for the republicans on the committee to block release of this i am more concerned that they make political redactions would actually protect sources and methods and thats why were going to insist that the department of justice and the f. B. I. Report to us on what reactions they think are necessary so that we can segregate any political interference from the white house south Africas Parliament has announced the perspiring mint of the present state of the nation address the announcement comes as president jacob zuma faces growing pressure to step down at a corruption allegations it was replaced as leader of the Ruling African National congress in december a new date for the speech is yet to be announced. The humanitarian crisis caused by yemens civil war is growing more desperate every day the u. N. Says forty seven thousand people have been displaced in the past month alone and also humanitarian access is improving there are still major sources of food and water jim reports. With the only available Drinking Water located miles away the children carry what they can collect on the backs of donkeys but the rough terrain makes an already difficult situation even more arduous violence caused these families to flee their homes in the village of yachties in southern yemen subodh are governorate another reminder of how the conflict in yemen is deepening what the u. N. Calls the worst manmade humanitarian crisis in the world. Said were not living in caves as a result of the will we are facing harsh Living Conditions especially the ferocious cold homes have been destroyed. Hardship has become the norm for these yemenis the adults worry the children will suffer the worst and in this makeshift camp hope is dwindling as temperatures drop that i get a little bit on the other i said hey that this years winter is the worst in years the temperature is hit minus five degrees the displaced families are living through harsh conditions that most of them took shelter and it is a humanitarian crisis they need immediate shelter and relief aid in a country where children have been at higher risk of contracting cholera and diptheria this boy is suffering from severe pneumonia and hoping the hospital will have enough medication to help him recover. Even the internally displaced who managed to escape to a nearby town are still living in extremely harsh conditions constantly searching for water and always seeking warmth. A single Ambulance Service is at the forefront of saving lives in somalias capital mogadishu limited medical services not enough in a city often vulnerable to bomb attacks and while the local Health Care System is slowly improving after years of neglect for many its not coming soon enough for me the miller has more from mogadishu. Its ten am and the seventh emergency call of the morning comes through you know its from this call center in market issue that the only Free Ambulance Service in the city is run its not a huge operation but the staff are kept busy of the shallow end of the right we are very busy when explosions happen and when they do i have to do more than just drive i have to help the nurses with patients twelve years ago up to carter had them used all these savings to buy his first ambulance today he has a fleet of ten they may be old and some on their last legs but they get the job done or actually when i came to somalia in two thousand and six there was a war going on when the turban vision come into somalia and there was a lot of people was dying in front of my clinic i was half in a clinic in back of the market and thats the nice of people was dying and getting injured then i asked myself how can i help my people workers are not well trained but they have the basic skills they can start bleeding and give patients painkillers but thats about all but transporting patients to hospitals quickly and safely is often the difference between life and death the Ambulance Service needs equipment and its staff better troll more training its often the leading Emergency Service most recent. When two blasts went off last october killing more than five hundred people and injuring hundreds of others for years many people were brought into hospitals using wooden wheel barrows often being pushed as far as five kilometers to get help many wouldnt make the journey i mean ambulances are helping to improve mogadishus Health Services especially as the few were available ambulances are an affordable for most people this is mogadishus largest hospital its director mohamed use of hassen says while they are able to do more surgeries than ever before they can treat everyone some of them you need some sophisticated investigation that you cannot do because you dont have them in imaging scorpius all this is needed but. We are not helpless we have many promises from outside now that help is increasingly coming from within the somalia adam runs the Service Using his own money and donations he says he dreams of one day having ambulances helping people not just in mogadishu but across somalia for me to aljazeera mogadishu.
