The million mark tragedy we revisit your survivors who became the target of a brutal crackdown which began six months ago. And democrats in the us are finally allowed to release a memo rebutting the republican partys claim of f. B. I. Bias against election campaign. Welcome to aljazeera first after days of heated negotiations the u. N. 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 Eastern Ghouta which. Killed more than five hundred civilians the resolution calls for an immediate end to hostilities for thirty days is meant to allow a window for much needed aid to be let into besieged areas including east and guta it would also allow medical evacuations while in a moment well get the latest on the situation in eastern guta but first our diplomatic editor james bays has more from the United Nations for a third day diplomats worked frantically to get a resolution for a cease fire on Syria Ambassador and he got an agreement with the russians now. Today were going to see if russia has a conscience the Russian Ambassador conferred with his syrian counterpart whos 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 they 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 cease fire 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 i saw 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 will syrias two major rebel groups in eastern guta say they welcome the Un Resolution but its still unclear whether it will bring any relief or besiege civilians in the area of town because of it reports now from the turkey syria border. I spoken to a number of sources since the United Nations Security 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 that 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. Thank you very much. But the eastern nowhere is safe basically none of the was young i guess you know much of panic the search for children who disappeared in the debris was. Heard every one of the children called for their father. That was 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. The only like these is from the fires which started the bombing. Her out these children prayed in the dark in an underground shelter one of them wants the world to feel their pain her. No food no water every day you sleep on the floor my back hurts we cant bring a pillow from our house if we get out well get hit dont you know. Imagine your children being gone and what do you want me to say. The other wants to safety. Because you had out the floors are down the air is humid and its called underground there are few basements in all to nearly four hundred thousand people i know that on the roofs of our size i dont know what this is called our children didnt eat for two days we cant find anything else will feed them this is a male god help us. Aid i syrians living in cities abroad have protested in small gatherings they reject that the fight in eastern huta 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 Nations Security 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 gets in some other zero. And the turkey syria border bringing refugees in bangladesh live day to day six months after the start of one of the worlds brutal most brutal crackdowns of recent times now the u. N. Has condemned the atrocities calling them a textbook case of ethnic cleansing in me and mark nearly seven hundred thousand rangar fled into bangladesh since august the twenty fifth we tracked down some of those that weve interviewed since the exodus began charlotte dallas reports.

Marburg latish border fleeing what they call a targeted campaign to wipe them out we first met her in december the nine year old had been shot three times in the leg arm in arm pit by a soldier at close range. Six months shes still in pain and has decided she wont go back there. They kill my father killed my mother i feel scared i dont want to go back to me amar they were bombing houses sitting them on fire pulling people out from their homes and shooting them torturing me and im scared to see all their all at the moment and i still feel like dying a fireman that those days who want to. Run they raped our women and you can see what they did to this child. There are thousands of is here recovering from different weapons of war these two sisters say myanmar soldiers tied them to trees and raped them their mother father and three siblings were locked inside their home which was then sister lives not much has changed since we first met the teenage girls in january they care and cooper long camp got them you know cabs although bright and colorful the girls say they remain cloaked in darkness. As an image and we cant go back to burma if we are asked to we dont have parents brothers and sisters no house to live there where should we live. The bangladesh in myanmar governments made a deal to repatriate the revenger but six months on they refused to return in November Abdul fi showed us his house right across the border he says robin joe want a guarantee of safety compensation for the destroyed villages and citizenship something they have been denied for thirty five years rubble this idea of money 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 asked 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. I have no father no mother and so much pain if i have to go out to collect firewood its so painful. Those who survived the crackdown in the camps with scars on their bodies and in their minds charlotte ballasts aljazeera. Now to fill doping results during the Winter Olympics mean russian athletes will not be able to march under the flag at the closing ceremony the International Olympic committee has unanimously a pound its ban on russia due to state sponsored doping of the twenty fourteen tsotsi games one hundred sixty eight russian athletes who took part in this years games had to compete as a limb pick an athletes from russia. Meanwhile there have been protests as the north korean delegation arrived in the south for the closing ceremony of the Winter Olympics is being led by a controversial high ranking general kimmitt your choice many in the south of south believe that he orchestrated the attack on a south korean naval ship which killed dozens of sailors in two thousand and ten well its a shock and i was our correspondent being at the olympics from gone can growing discontent over the arrival of this high profile general from the north i mean what more can we expect from the public call from the south korean government in response to the anguish that his arrival is creating. So this is part of a growing wave of discomfort content among the contingent of South Koreans who are upset with president moon j ins policy of engagement that weve been witnessing since the start of the year with north korea on sunday a group of protesters numbering several hundred try to block a border bridge as the north korean delegation travelled to the south to attend the closing ceremony on saturday an estimated three thousand people protested in seoul they burn flags of north korea and photos of leader kim jong un and this general leading the delegation so who is this general his name is kim yong sure as you mentioned he is believed to have been responsible for attacks against South Koreans most notably the seeking of a warship in twenty ten forty six sailors were killed as he arrived today. Reporters asked him about the sinking of that worship he refused to respond the south korean government is saying that its difficult to know if the general was actually responsible for this particular attack the North Koreans have denied involvement but in response to some discontent among South Koreans president moon is asking people to look to the future to look at the broader picture and to see how what weve been witnessing during these socalled peace olympics this dialogue this talk of reconciliation between the north and south as crucial to peace on the peninsula also on this delegation so is a north korean senior diplomat in charge of affairs with the United States but the white house and the North Koreans are saying there will not be any talks you do will be keeping a close eye on that one natasha but also the other moving story where you always at the russians will not be marching those athletes not be marching under their own flag of the closing ceremony at the olympics ill be disappointed with that one though. Clearly especially after the sochi games this whole thing dates back to this massive russian doping scandal unearthed during the twenty fourteen sochi games that involved more than a thousand athletes across several different sports and on sunday the International Olympic Committee Said that the ban in place for russian athletes here in pyongyang will remain meaning they will not march under the russian flag during the closing ceremony that was also the case for the Opening Ceremony and the reason is two athletes who competed here were i found to have failed drug tests one was a bobsledder the other was a curler he was stripped of his bronze medal now the court of arbitration for sport did allow carefully screened about one hundred sixty eight athletes compete in pyongyang but they did have to compete as socalled neutrals meaning they couldnt march under the russian flag and so we cannot forget that dozens of russian athletes have been banned from olympic competition for life and the russian Olympic Committee remain suspended and of course will be coming back to you through the day as we come to the end of those Winter Olympics for the moment and attach a thank you well still ahead here on aljazeera to u. S. Airlines joined Major Companies cutting ties with americas largest gun lobby the n. R. A.

Hello there weve got plenty of unsettled weather across many parts of the middle east at the moment you can see on the satellite picture weve got one system in the east working its way across parts of afghanistan followed by another one thats currently marching its way through parts of iraq and into iran the first system well that moves away towards the east just bringing a few snow flurries around mati there as we head through sunday but the second one is really getting going working its way eastwards into afghanistan so following hot on the heels of that first system really theres only a small break before yet more wet weather is piling in from the mediterranean so heavy rain and some snow there over the mountains in turkey the system then gradually edges its way eastward then another system works in from turkey as we head through the next day or so so very mobile here and some of that unsettled weather is finally making its way a bit further south as well so here in doha it looks like all rains are gradually moving southward as we head through sunday and into monday in fact by monday it looks like most of that wet weather is away over parts of pakistan and iran and for us in oman just a few showers perhaps behind it dry first for now in doha but i dont think thats the last well see of the rains well see some more over the next few days for the south plenty of wet weather here stretching all the way down into the eastern parts of south africa is gradually pushing its way northward for monday.

What makes this movement this spirit were living through so unique this is really an attack on itself is a lot of misunderstanding a distortion is that what free speech is supposed to be about the context its hugely important we have a right to publish if you have a duty to be offensive or provocative whatever it is people do setting the stage for a serious debate. Up front at this time on aljazeera. Of about two hours there i was a whole rob and a reminder of our top news stories the un Security Council has unanimously adopted a resolution demanding a month long truce in syria that follows a week of government led strikes on the rebel held on klaver eastern guta which has killed more than five hundred civilians.

And there have been protests is a north korean delegation arrive in the south for the closing ceremony of the chiang Winter Olympics is being led by a controversial high ranking general Kim Yong Choi many in the south believe york as straight as an attack on a south korean naval ship which killed dozens of sailors in two thousand and ten. Said to the u. S. Now where 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 powers investigating alleged russian interference 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 democrat 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 diana has 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 so only on partisan research that it had gotten that relied on information from britains 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 then 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 and a growing number of high profile u. S. Companies are cutting ties with the National Rifle Association 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. As five million members it follows 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 n. R. A. In three major insurers car rental firms and two of americas Largest Airlines delta and united the n. R. A. Has lashed out at the companies saying that they are pushing membership punishing membership pardon me in a shameful display of political and civic cowardice the Advocacy Group argues activists are using the february fourteenth shooting to expand gun control and abolish gun rights in the u. S. Well Peter Matthews is a professor of Political Science at Cypress College in los angeles he says the boycott is going to have a Significant Impact on the n. R. A. These are Large Companies when it was a Small Company like a Car Rental Company thats one thing but when United Airlines and delta and other symantec and leave a High Tech Companies does the same thing its going to have a both of a Material 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 in 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 my view two hundred thirty members of congress over half of the house of representatives receives 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 the 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.
