Hello im sami say than this is the news out live from coming up in the next sixty minutes fighting in syria as another round of talks resumes to end almost seven years of war planes of mass killings in me and Doctors Without Borders say six thousand seven hundred killed in one month alone thousands rally in gaza city to mark thirty years since the Palestinian Group hamas was formed plus more entertainment in all this and he says it wants to buy a huge day twenty First Century fox. Un brokered talks on syria are resuming in geneva after a short break the opposition delegation has already met with the u. N. Special envoy staff on the must or a government rep. Thieves are also due to hold talks with most tour hes urging russias president Vladimir Putin to convince the Syrian Government to hold new elections our correspondent David Chaytor is in geneva joins us live from there so another round of talks another day is it going anywhere though david. Sami im afraid not this is the eighth round of talks theyve been in the same building thats all one can say but there havent actually sat around the same table to meet face to face and it looks like once again these attempts to get a Peace Process going will end in failure now this is semi causing some serious questions to be honest and inside sources i spoke to this morning said that in fact alternative talks are going on at the moment have been for more than a year and this the man whos holding these talks has reached out to regime loyalists senior figures regime loyalists and also figures outside the opposition to discuss ideas of how to how to revive a five this Peace Process because the United Nations simply is not working at the moment now these figures are simply meeting around the same table theyre having discussions this is a process being funded by among others the United Kingdom and its acceptance if you like that this is going to go nowhere because this same source said that as far as he was concerned his knowledge was that the syrian delegation will not meet face to face round any table they are determined to stand against the Syrian Opposition delegation and that will not change so the only real hope is that these are these talks which we have found about found out about only today will succeed in bringing new ideas in there discussing the constitution at the moment but there are much broader base on the two delegations at the moment and this seems like the only way that they can attempt to break the impasse here how are the russian announcement that its Mission Accomplished how is that impacting the diplomatic process david. Its having no effect whatsoever in fact the the Mission Accomplished that awful phrase weve heard before from president bush after iraq and then saw the country descend into chaos the Mission Accomplished by the russians was simply to ensure that bashar assad survived he was on the point of being over the overthrown but the russian bombs a military hardware and soldiers and boots on the ground have ensured his survival at the mission was never a Peace Mission it was to increase the russian influence in the middle east and the assad family are the longest standing allies of moscow in the middle east so more than forty years of contacts between them so i dont expect the bombs to stop it anytime soon so i expect that somehow this alternative Peace Process thats being discussed with meetings every month as far as i have been told will come up with some fresh ideas and build some sort of consensus but meanwhile the russians know about it the regime in syria knows about it the United States knows about it and of course the european capitals and the hope is that somehow someway they can come up with some fresh ideas to try and revive this Peace Process but the russians need to talk to the United States and theres no indication that that is going on at the moment that is the crucial thing the United States and russia must talk about this alternative Peace Process all right david thanks so much the medical aid group Doctors Without Borders estimates at least six thousand seven hundred ring of muslims were killed in the amman the month following the military crackdown which started in august thats in contrast to figures released by me in march gov which says only four hundred were killed the aid groups estimate is based on the accounts of some six hundred forty six thousand survivors sheltering in refugee camps in bangladesh he says seven hundred thirty children are among those killed. Colleen clay do is an emergency coordinator of Doctors Without Borders she says these surveys are the clearest indication of ongoing widespread violence in me and. We have published the most conservative figure we had. And if you look at the surf avi did be interviewed more than Twelve Thousand people which were randomly sampled from a population of six hundred thousand we could not interview those households which had no surviving adults we could not interview to families in totally didnt make it to bangladesh because we have heard stories of complete families which were killed so we believe that yes this number is what we believe is the lower range and our think its actually higher in reality we hear from the from the people who talk to us for we had from the patients retreated from their injuries is that its a combination some of these atrocities according to the refugees we talked to were committed by military by police by local military forces and combination of dental and we still talk to people who have just arrived in the last few weeks who are still tilting about. Affected them in the last two weeks so this is only going not maybe on the same scale but we still hear reports of firelands. Least ten people have been killed in a bomb attack on the main Police Academy in somalias capital a suicide bomber blew himself up during a Police Parade inside the Training Camp in mogadishu Officials Say he was wearing a Police Uniform young group has claimed responsibility for the attack hamas one of the main palestinian factions is marking thirty years since its establishment the palestinian Political Party and its armed group were formed in response to israels illegal occupation of the west bank and gaza thousands of gathered at a rally in gaza city to mark the occasion. Speak live now to alan fischer joins us from gaza so whats the mood like there. While the the rally has ended ended in the last forty minutes or so ending with a speech from hamas as political director. Certainly if you judge the support of a party by the tar note at these rallies and thats how they tend to do it in gaza there were thousands of people here but they suggest perhaps even tens of thousands of people here certainly when we looked over the square you could see people as far as the eye could see in they were determined to turn out on a sunday afternoon in Southern Gaza to express their support we know that hamas is involved in talks with fatah but that didnt stop them attacking fatah for the position particularly on jerusalem saying that their position had always been the one against the oslo accords that that position had proven to be correct because of the developments in the last week with donald trump announcing that he would recognize jerusalem as israels capital. And he said that he would like to see muslim countries organize idea of reads every friday to make sure that people around the world knew their anger at this decision by the americans he also suggested that hamas would never recognize israel particularly because of this and also said that he believed that Donald Trumps the surgeon had left him his administration on the United States politically isolated because of the condemnation globally that decision.

Russian president Vladimir Putin has warned the United States is ignoring information on syrian fighters traveling to iraq the right shin leaders says the u. S. May be sparing some armed forces in the hope theyll join the fight against syrian president Bashar Al Assads government putin is holding his annual press conference in moscow where results are in questions on a wide range of international and domestic issues. Mikel visit assistant professor at Moscow State Institution of Foreign Relations he joins us now live from moscow good to have you with us so we were talking about syria there. What clues did you pick up on about the russian policy towards syria especially on whether hes putin is willing to heed that call from the u. N. Envoy for more russian pressure on the Syrian Government was there much sign of that. No there was no sign of that president putin was actually talking mostly about the role of external players he said that external players who support militant opposition groups they are the main cause of the conflict or and he actually called for the. Old told that external players should stop supporting opposition groups and militant groups and yes he was very critical about the u. S. Policy towards syria so both things show that russia is continuing is continuing the policy which it pursued for for at least two Previous Years so there is no change in that he also had some tough words for the u. S. When it came to north korea the u. S. And russian positions policies towards north korea diverging. Well they are not divergent but. Moscow in sea its on direct negotiations between the u. S. And north korea and i think the while moscow is against north korea acquiring Nuclear Weapons still the emphasis is that the u. S. And their allies are provoking. The north korean leadership to develop Nuclear Weapons meet president putin spoke a lot about maneuvers the military maneuvers which are taking place near the north korean borders and he said that these maneuvers are really provocation so thats the main point of his speech and he was also very. Critical about the edge if you towards russia who is treated as a rogue state but at the same time is asked to facilitate the dialogue to facilitate discussions about the Nuclear Program program so thats a controversy and he criticized this kind of logic is mr putin mentioned that it russia he actually said russia is not treated as an equal partner and thats the problem which is also in his speeches we heard the same attitude to Previous Year right now there was a lot of emphasis in the speech too about domestic issues especially the economy how hes going to run again just to serve and help the russian people i wonder how that sort of message is going down with the russian public. I think this sort of massive will be very welcomed because mr putin is a symbol of stability and Economic Growth and besides or the opposition is really seen as weak and fractured so in many people dont simply dont trust the opposition while mr putin. For many people became the person who actually helped russia to restore its international influence to restore its prestige and who managed to stabilize the country after the after a decade of to remodel which we had in the ninetys thanks so much for your analysis on that nicholas sort of cough now the Walt Disney Company says its reached a deal to buy most of the assets of twenty First Century fox a transaction valued at fifty two point four billion dollars the merger still requires approval by regulators and the u. S. Justice department if the deal goes through media experts say disney could become a new contender in the realm of streaming online video. Joins us live from washington d. C. Im going to try and say no pun intended kimberly whats the big deal. Well the big deal in terms of the Media Companies is that it will allow both disney and fox to streamline their focus and become more competitive in their respective landscapes what this really means from a consumer standpoint is the way weve been watching television and more specifically the sort of alla cart options from some of the Big Tech Companies have really captured our attention and that has made it difficult for for fox and particularly its Film Division to stay competitive so thats really the crux of this its going to allow through this purchase allow fox to sell off its Film Division this is a company thats known for releasing the first star wars for Marilyn Monroe movies even the sound of music big film names what its going to do is sort of merge this
