Security council has unanimously adopted a resolution demanding a month long truce in syria it comes after a week of government led strikes on the rebel held enclave of Eastern Ghouta which is killed more than five hundred civilians the resolution calls for an immediate end all still ities for thirty days is meant to allow a window for much needed aid to be let into besieged areas including Eastern Ghouta it would also allow medical evacuations in a moment well get the latest on the situation in eastern cuter but first our diplomatic editor james bays has this report from the United Nations for a third day diplomats worked frantically to get a resolution for a cease fire on Syria Ambassador if youve got an agreement with the russians now. Today were going to see if russia has a concert the Russian Ambassador conferred with his syrian counterpart whose government has continued without rest by the bombardment of eastern puter even as the negotiations dragged on diplomats have been working around the clock exhausted frustrated and in some cases angry most of the discussions focusing on the exact wording of one paragraph in the end they agreed to a place an immediate cease fire with one that comes into force without delay it meant they could vote. It was unanimous but there didnt seem to be much unity in the chamber. Every minute the council waited on russia the human suffering Group Getting to a vote became a moral responsibility for everyone but not for russia not for syria not for iran i have to ask why as they dragged out the negotiation the bombs from assads fighter jets continued to fall in the three days it took us to adopt this resolution how many mothers lost their kids to the bombing and the shelling why we negotiated this so long and that is illusion that they wanted to make sure that it does not use as a pretext for any military action because we had some trouble so what in worrying. Governments on that in the recent days any good in today some of the variability cause these negotiations were extremely hard getting a ceasefire across syria will be even harder can they get a stop to the bombardment in eastern guta there is an exemption in the resolution allowing continued military action against al qaida al nasra and eisel and some diplomats fear that the Syrian Government will assert that those fighting in eastern guta have links with those groups james pays out his era at the United Nations now is there a corresponding moment jazeera i has more about the situation on the ground from inside eastern peter. Now. That. We are now in one of the Eastern Ghouta towns the Regime Forces fired a number of rockets coming in close to bombs that exploded in the vicinity targeting a residential area here behind me the russian aircraft targeted this building with several raids and destroyed the building and killed a number of the residents in addition to injuring dozens more regime and russian planes do not stop bombing this area walk it launches do not stop targeting cities and towns presence on the roads is very dangerous because of drones that give orders to artillery to target citizens the drones can also fire themselves on any moving target civilians or vehicles the bombing does not stop is twenty four hours the state of fear terror and hunger amongst the civilians is great can be described as catastrophic syrias two major rebel groups in eastern cuter say they welcome the Un Resolution but its still unclear whether itll bring any relief or besieged civilians in eastern cooter some of binge of it is following events from turkeys border with syria. Ive spoken to a number of sources since the United NationsSecurity Council came to this agreement a United Nations source said that weve always been ready to provide aid inside eastern huta and its been frustrating for us to know that people can see our warehouses from inside theyre only a few kilometers away but we havent been able to reach them in the last five years but aid workers are saying that it is going to be tough for these aid groups to come in and provide this help because not just the Syrian Foreign Ministry but the Syrian Intelligence also controls these checkpoints and in the past have stopped aid convoys and taken out medical supply the essential items that they do not want to ascend into people have cautious optimism about what has happened but theyre also afraid of what is going to come in the coming hours because eastern huta has been bombarded relentlessly more than five hundred people have been killed at least twelve hospitals have been destroyed and more than two thousand people have been injured medics have been saying that the situation is desperate and critical. To the. Rescuers are responding to crisis for help. But eastern nowhere is safe basically none of the was young and so it gives you no means of panic the search for children who disappeared in the debris. Every one of the children called for their father. So there was no the Civil Defense worker says they must hurry to the basement. Activists accuse the Syrian Government and russia for the airstrikes and shelling the suburb of syrias capital damascus has been bombarded specially hard for the last week.

Aid i syrians living in cities abroad have protested in small gatherings they reject that the fight in eastern is against what the government calls terrorists. But the Syrian Government iran and russia say the civilian deaths in our fabricated propaganda. Since the United NationsSecurity Council agreed to a thirty day ceasefire in syria aid workers say theyre ready to take in that aid but people inside who are scared fearful of what has happened in the past in other areas might happen here again with the government tries to take as much area as possible before the Implementation Phase kicks in some of the job other zero. And the turkey syria border knowing refugees in bangladesh live day to day six months after the start of all of the worlds worst brutal crackdowns of recent times now the u. N. Has condemned the atrocities calling them a textbook case of ethnic cleansing in me and more nearly seven hundred thousand ranger have fled into a bungalow there since august the twenty fifth we tracked down some of those weve interviewed since the exodus began reports.

We want to tell the world of we want to live like human beings we want to educate our children and we want to live a peaceful life with our family we ask the world to provide justice for us. Myanmars government continues to deflect accusations of ethnic cleansing and even genocide justice for the revenger is hard to come by.

So to the u. S. Now where the u. S. Congress has released a classified memo by democrats two weeks after it was blocked by President Trump citing security concerns the memo rebuts claims by republicans that the f. B. I. Abused its power is investigating alleged russian influence in the u. S. President ial election the white house agreed to the release of the democratic memo only after redactions were made well in a series of tweets on saturday trump criticized the memo saying the democratic memo response on government surveillance abuses is a total political and legal bust just confirms all of the terrible things that were done so illegal down estabrook pass more from washington d. C. Well this democratic memo that was released today basically says that the f. B. I. And the d. O. J. Acted in a fall of the letter of the law when they launched this investigation into carter page who was a Campaign Aide to president from the republicans earlier this year contended that the f. B. I. Based its investigation solely on partisan research that it had gotten that relied on information from brit former british spy Christopher Steele the democrat said today in this heavily redacted memo that they actually began this investigation the f. B. I. Began the investigation a few months before it even saw this da cia and that the f. B. I. Was really basing its investigation on the conversations that carter page had had with russian officials and relationships that he had with russian spies at the white house says that it is glad that this heavily redacted memo by the democrats was finally released today even though it undercuts the president and the was also back and forth between republicans and democrats on the House Intelligence Committee adam schiff who is the ranking democrat said some time ago republicans on our committee released a declassified memo that omitted and distorted key facts in order to mislead the public and impugn the integrity of the f. B. I. We can now tell you what they left out devon nunez who is the republican chair of that Committee Fired back that this democratic memo proves absolutely nothing i would say that this we actually want to do so so this is been held up for over two weeks the f. B. I. And do j. Had right away had told the democrats what was wrong with their memo or their response to our memo and they waited for two weeks before they actually did the reductions that were necessary to get this out we wanted out we wanted out because we think it is clear evidence that the democrats are not only trying to cover this up. But there are also colluding with parts of the government to help cover this up now the republicans are continuing to claim that this is part of a witch hunt into the presidency in the trunk Campaign Democrats on the other hand are saying that it was acting that the f. B. I. Was acting responsibly and would have been remiss had it not investigated carter page now a growing number of high profile u. S. Companies are cutting ties with the National RifleAssociation Following last weeks shooting at a Florida High School more than half a dozen corporations say theyll no longer offer discounts to the n. R. A. Is five million members its all as a social Media Campaign by gun control activists calling for a boycott on brands who partnered with the organization. Well companies that have severed ties with the entering clude major insurers car rental phones and to americas Largest Airlines delta and united the n. R. A. Has lashed out at the companies saying that theyre punishing membership in a shameful display of political and civic cowardice the Advocacy Group argues activists are using the february the fourteenth shooting to expand gun control and abolish gun rights in the u. S. Well Peter Matthews is a professor of Political Science at say Priest College in los angeles he says the boycott is going to have a Significant Impact on the n. R. A. If these are Large Companies when i was a Small Company like a Car Rental Company thats one thing but when you buy their lines and delta and other symantec i believe a High Tech Companies does the same thing its going to have a both of. Impact and a moral or ethical impact because the word then spreads and the awareness of the issue of Assault Rifle especially Assault Rifles thats what needs to be banned and a lot of these young people the students have been galvanizing Public Opinion and these corporate opinion now against the n. R. A. And thats very significant in my view two hundred thirty members of congress over half of the house of representatives received money for the n. R. A. From the n. R. A. For their campaigns and now theyre going to have started jacking up money because their own constituents will turn against them once these companies turn against them and once the students have led Public Opinion against the n. R. A. And what its doing because the n. R. A. Does not i want to have any kind of regulation whatsoever but once these members of congress and their candidates to run against them see that the n. R. A. Is actually more of a obstacle rather than a help to them theyre going to have to refuse the money from them in a lot of ways or at least break away from their Political Support now thousands of people have attended a rally in tel aviv protesting against israels plans to deport african migrants the Israeli Government has given notice to twenty thousand male migrants that they could face jail if they dont leave by the start of april the men mostly from sudan and eritrea have been offered three thousand five hundred dollars on a plane ticket to leave would children families of those with pending asylum request submitted before the start of this year will be exempt.

Listen and see immigration policies and here there are plenty of people who support that group given the refugee crisis that has had its the particularly hard. In the last four years some six hundred thousand people have arrived in italy by sea but it has coincided with a tougher session and high unemployment and the infrastructure has barely been able to cope immigration rhetoric has surfed to whip up sentiments hear him pass the phrase in pakistan youve got to tell him this is not the government has imposed this uncontrolled migration and its unregulated and its not fair when at the moment when i want to clean italy i want more employment less crime we have legal immigrants who are destroying it illegally. All over the country there is a sense of hardening attitudes in the Southern City of palermo one neo fascist group came out to defend its positions meanwhile in the capital rome the fear of a return of italy. Fascist pass prompted five separate demonstrations railing against the agenda of the far right this is a country which has always had sharp divisions in the political scene but there is a fear that violent tensions of the past are making a return to the sluggish economy has made many here feel hard done by and there is little trust in mainstream politicians to result that.
