Or aljazeera the hague. Russia iran and turkey have agreed to support a Syrian Peoples Congress bringing together government and opposition representatives speaking at talks in the black sea resort of sochi president Vladimir Putin said he believed the new sanctions been reached in the Syrian Crisis but he warned that achieving a political solution would require compromises from all sides russia and iran are major allies of syrias president Bashar Al Assad who made a surprise visit to such a on monday turkey back some syrian rebel groups well lets cross live to royal challengers who is in such and has been listening in to the press conference that those leaders just gave what else do they have to say really. What is interesting listening to what they are saying about this congress which is being planned a National Dialogue congress its being called putin has been talking about this for a few weeks now trying to get this idea off the ground essential he what he wants to happen is for all different representatives of various parts of Syrian Society to come together here in sochi in a week or twos time and hash things out really basically talk about the future of syria how we can get the country back on track agriculture schools hospitals that sort of thing now the problem with this idea has up until theyve now been turkey has not really been that enthusiastic about it because of an invitation thats been extended to kurdish groups which turkey feels are terrorists now listening to the three men there i still got the impression that one was a bit lukewarm about this idea putin and rouhani much warmer and an interesting thing that rouhani said was that this can prepare the ground for a new constitution for syria and this i think reaffirms some. Nations that we made about this idea which is that its a sort of bridging idea its a bridging thing between the starter talks which have been going on for nearly a year now in kazakstan which are technical and about cease fires etc and the much delayed geneva talks which want to come to a solution a grand political solution for the for the for putting the conflict to bed in its entirety this dialogue this National Dialogue congress in sochi is going to be some sort of bridging between those two things and basically seems like a way for russia to steer the direction that syrias constitution goes in and who are almost the elephant in the room is the fact that the opposition groups are also meeting across a saudi arabia the message from there is that they cant see a future syria if president assad is still in power but the message really i suppose from where you are is his future wasnt really being questioned. No i think you know even though turkey essentially has never left its position behind that i should go over the course of the conflict particularly in the last few months the reality of the fighting has basically meant that he is now concentrating primarily on the kurdish problem and leaving aside the issue of well of course russia and iran both storage defenders. And their position is that you cannot go to geneva peace conference with any preconditions about the future of that has to be left outside the meeting thats been going on in in riyadh today and theres going to be stretching into the next few days was essentially trying to work out what the oppositions position was going to be going into geneva and you know the rumors had been that they might be softening on whether to go it seems that that hasnt happened but to get your thoughts which i was there with the latest from sochi. Two planes have landed in yemens capital sanaa for the First Time Since the Saudi Led Coalition tightened its blockade sixteen days ago the blockade has prevented aid from being delivered despite increasing pressure from the u. N. And humanitarian groups the u. N. Earlier said more than thirty flights carrying aid have been cancelled and hes warning millions of people face starvation. Dramatic video has been released showing the moment as a north korean soldier escaped to south korea across one of the most heavily armed boarders in the world during the chase north korean soldiers fired at the fact one briefly crossed the border into the south a violation of the armistice agreement that halted the korean war kathy novak has more from so extraordinary video of a soldier risking his life to escape from north korea at around three in the afternoon hes seen driving a truck past a checkpoint on the north korean side of the Demilitarized Zone or d. M. Z. On the heavily fortified border fellow soldiers are shown running after the truck which becomes stuck the defector then gets out and runs towards the border known as the military do you mark haitian line or n. T. L. Just meters away soldiers from the k. P. A. Or north Korean Peoples Army opened fire hitting the defector its thought five times one even chases him over the border before returning to the north korean side the key findings of the special Investigation Team are that the k. P. A. Violated the armistice agreement by one firing weapons across the m. T. L. And two by actually crossing the m. D. O. Temporarily the defectors body is seen lying motionless on the south korean side of the border then soldiers from the joint u. S. And south korean Security Battalion are seen crawling towards the injured defector to drag him to safety its rare for defectors to try and breach the joint security area at pun when jum tour groups on both sides of the border regularly visit though the u. N. Command says no tourists were there when the shooting happened. The north korean soldier remains in intensive care in a south korean hospital where he has regained consciousness and his wounds are no longer life threatening a doctor treating him says the surgery revealed a parasitic worms hed only ever seen in textbooks giving an insight into the dire conditions North Koreans face and the kind of life this defector was fleeing kathy novak al jazeera soul. Let me take you now back to that story we talked about earlier on the International Criminal court where the judges convicted war crimes tribunals bosnia sent commander ratko and gave him a lifetime sentence less cross to david who is in a strip burnet sara and the verdict may have been in the hague david but the real impact is hell is felt really way you are. Thats right the the mothers have separate needs so watching the proceedings in the hague court here in the middle of this cemetery where many of their loved ones are actually buried and it was extraordinary watching the whole process they were reliving those memories as a court during a very long verdict and description of the crimes it revived in them all of those memories that have been haunted by for the last twenty two years now they were delighted when the verdict came through the guilty of genocide and there was a an upsurge of of emotion and there was cheering there was hugging and there were tears but essentially all of them have shared their own life sentence a life sentence having lost their loved ones and heavy burden of grief will be with them until they reach their own graves nothing can take that away there is no if you like closure here for them its a very very hard time they feel that perhaps its given them something that the justice has given them some revenge but the feelings very much here sue are very very raw the divisions are as great as they ever were the conflict is frozen and the hate is frozen at the moment but the hate is still very much that youve got the the communities around here that are. Dominated that they consider the whole trial was simply a political trial they dont accept. That the genocide occurred here extraordinary when you look at the number of graves around me more than eight thousand the muslim men and boys were killed by the butcher of bosnia im allowed a church and they still are beginning to find even more bodies a one thousand of the victims of the genocide have still not actually been found and all around me theyre discovering bones still and skulls in the forests and hills around here they would say to their with the impact of that verdict in srebrenica. Still ahead on aljazeera we report from bangladesh on malnutrition and refugee children. And the no one idea how one library. And help educate the community. How its been raining fairly steadily in the southwest of china thats largely because weve got this northeast monsoon the winter months in coming in but the still plenty of moisture brought up from the South China Sea has been affecting vietnam really quite badly and will do for the next two days as it will by look at that in Southwest Corner of china still that height is going to be the snow here. Is a rain picture you see the thames is all that low still fourteen children twelve in shanghai about seventy in hong kong does mean you want to feel a little bit colder the monsoon just appearing from india now as you might expect and still a very obvious line for the bay of bengal with a small potential developing a circulation well watch for that because if that happens what come in the rain is really affecting us for lanka not the indian man and told of course things are still pretty poor up in the northern plain from the point of view quality that will be the same for the next two days no significant alteration to anything whereas we have seen the winter rains start to show up in the Arabian Peninsula significant rain has been showing up in west and pasta sadi flooding in jeddah briefly and theres all this green mass in the forecast for iran and guess whos in between the two well kuwait and qatar the forecast for next two days could well brace of significant rain to this part of the normally dry world. At this time. Welcome back reminder of the top stories here in aljazeera zimbabwes vice president. Has returned to harare from south africa he will be sworn in as president on friday following the resignation of a. Former general rather has been found guilty of war crimes and genocide the seventy three year old orchestrated the massacre of eight i was a muslim men and boys. In one thousand nine hundred. Russias president says his government on the wrong a working towards a serious People Congress is one of the first steps towards getting all sides of serious conflict to engage in dialogue. So lets go back to our top story in zimbabwe where the eagerly eagerly awaiting that next president. Is outside zanu p. F. Headquarters in her all right where the crowds are milling really for me that the people standing around the have never experienced anything like being able to be on the streets and and really told their own minds youre surrounded by people that must just feel quite elated. They are very excited this really for them is a welcoming heart to you for someone theyre looking at as a new liberates of sorts somebody who saved them from really an oppression and an economy theyve been struggling im done for decades im just going to step out a shot to give you a better idea old exactly what the sporty looks like people in town begin singing and the plaque on it and posters theyre holding up say things like our hero our host we salute you they thanking and i miss. As well as the military people the lowly late in liberating them and getting rid of the prison. Robert mugabe they really are here to express their gratitude we do expect this and when i got word to address the ball when he does arrive we do understand he has arrived in harare any should be here and the surrounding headquarters any time from now we do expect him to hold a meeting with the Central Committee of the ruling Party Perhaps not dealing with the way forward as such at this point but possibly an endorsement of his are presidency of the party itself ahead on his swearing in on fridays are people here are very excited around the arrival of a man that they say has as ultimately save them and if we look back and remember that. Left the country after being dismissed by then president to Robert Mugabe even fled zimbabwe now is arriving but you are heros welcome soon and for me to the real good will amongst the people but real pressure really on this new president his reputation isnt so good as some people say he has got on his hands but the result must assess it is going to need to reinvent himself and really turn things around quickly to carry that could well. That is a tricky situation for many zimbabweans this is euphoria and excitement around developments in the country which has seen the the end of a president who was improbable for thirty seven years but now theyre looking at a replacement that does have a controversial postie served under mugabe for decades he was a close ally until recently he was also hit all the internal security which in the eightys was in charge when at least twenty thousand people according to human rights organizations were killed after a crackdown by the military are these people according to the military to citizens of this is a very difficult balls that he would face in. Certainly one way he would not want to come across to the bar winds and even the world come across internationally as someone that he is good for the country someone that could possibly reverse the Economic Situation but also someone that would embrace the democratic principles as far as possible its uncertain if that would be the case it was in baldwins have you know replaced one dictator or one tyrant with another but certainly at this point the baldwins all very hopeful. With a very expectant excited crowd outside the. Headquarters. Explosions and gunfire have been heard in the georgian capital tbilisi after Security Forces raided an apartment block at least one soldier has died one suspect has been arrested for us jay walker has more from tbilisi.
