Is jailed for five years for corruption. Aftershocks hamper rescue efforts in a building left tilting dangerously off to taiwans earthquake. Thank you my. Top democrat nancy pelosi makes history with an eight hour speech in the house of representatives. You know for a fourth consecutive day bombs are being raining down on rebel held areas of syria which were designated deescalation zones government and russian ass trikes have killed at least twenty three people in east and go to on the edge of damascus on thursday including children and a medic a rescue later their attacks there and an idiot province since a russian jet was shot down on saturday two hundred people in just four days adding to the bloodshed the u. S. That Coalition Says its killed at least one hundred fighters and bears or problems who are attacking the Syrian Democratic forces syria has branded it a war crime ravichandran reports on the latest violence. By thursday the bombing raids in eastern huta had only intensified at least two dozen were carried out and activists say they see no end in sight to this horror from the sky the night before fires in the town of modest in the month the target of dozens of airstrikes. Thats despite it being in the Northeastern Province of it live a rebel held area and one of syrias socalled deescalation zones was borders were agreed to by russia turkey and iran bombing raids carried out by russian and Syrian Forces have only intensified since a russian warplane was shot down by rebels on saturday. When another blaze is put out rescue efforts begin anew what were seeing is an escalation because isis has largely been defeated the. Zones were marked out around syria deescalation while the United States and russia were interested in destroying rights now that isis has largely been destroyed or used the escalation zones have become up for grabs you see turkey rushing in to wrap up rain in the north or the United States states its been a long haul in syria it owns twenty eight percent syrian territory and the Syrian Regime is trying to grab the remaining rebel parts of syria including. Which has been surrounded and bombarded the last few years. Eastern huta near syrias capital damascus is also still in the hands of rebels and like it lib is also under intense bombardment from dozens of men women and children have been killed in the last four days many residents believe progovernment forces are pushing for a decisive outcome to the war in syria. While the United Nations has called for a month long truce to evacuate the wounded that appeal hasnt made a difference even for those accustomed to the carnage of the seemingly endless conflict this most recent compartment has been terrifying. In russia tens of thousands of people have turned out for the funeral of the pilot who was shot down in syria on saturday roma for people was flying over into a province when he had to bail out of his burning plane the Russian Defense Ministry Says he was surrounded by Al Qaeda Linked fighters when he landed and put him self up with a hand grenade to avoid being captured or the thirty thousand people attended the ceremony inverness in southwest russia. The Current Situation in syria is it to be discussed at united stations that Security Council meeting that set taking place now on diplomatic editor james bays is following developments for us in new york said james what the Security Council do in fact very little because of the divisions around the Security Council chamber theyre meeting in open session right now discussing International Terrorism and in particular i sold they then go into closed session we understand one agenda right and will be on the mall deaves and the other any other business agenda item in that closed session will be the humanitarian situation in syria coming up before the council yet again because they can get no action on its a tall and i can tell you the feeling among Council Members is one of despair just listen to the words as he arrived at the Security Council meeting of the french the french ambassador france what a lot. We are now back to the darkest period of this conflict with the highest death toll among civilians over the last year. And as we speak the situation is deteriorating by the day in. Particular. The Syrian Regime keeps bombing and the featuring its own population. Is a new poll in the making. So james you talk about the despair there and the frustration beyond expressing it what else can they do. Well the problem is that there have been a number of efforts to try and do something and theyve all come to nothing weve had a couple of Security Council meetings on the humanitarian situation in the last couple of weeks the most important of those was over two weeks ago on twenty second of january when the humanitarian head of the United Nations mark local briefed basters after his verse visit to syria and came up with five recommendations on how to try to ease the suffering in many parts of syria where humanitarian terran aid is not getting through following that there were negotiations not about a resolution but something less or a statement coming out of the Security Council to drum push things forward while russia blocked that statement and they couldnt agree to any language at all thats why the two countries that take the humanitarian lead on syria at the Security Council sweden and kuwait have decided to call this up yet again i think theyre trying to force this issue in front of the russians and try and get some progress terms both thank you very much indeed.

U. S. Senate leaders have agreed on a two year budget deal that could avert another fast approaching Government Shutdown but it still needs to be approved by the house of representatives and theres already been dramatic opposition to the proposal House Minority leader nancy pelosi has delivered a record breaking speech in support of young immigrants demanding that they be protected under any final deal torah gave me reports. Confidence building step it was a marathon speech the longest continuous address ever made in the house of representatives eight thousand seven minutes nancy pelosi who turns Seventy Eight next month spoke about the plight of young immigrants in america with just a few sips of water to keep her going every day courageous patriotic dreamers lose their status every day the American Dream steps further out of reach as members of congress we have a moral responsibility to act now to protect dreamers who are the pride of our nation and our american in every way but on paper palosi was speaking out against the compromise federal budget deal announced by Senate Leaders it doesnt protect the socalled dreamers from deportation the undocumented immigrants who came to the u. S. This children Senate Leaders admit the budget deal isnt perfect but say it will avert a fast approaching Government Shutdown this bill is the product of extensive negotiations among congressional leaders and the white house. No one would suggest it is perfect but we work hard to find Common Ground and stay focused on sure the American People the budget deal doesnt have everything democrats want it doesnt have everything republicans want but it has a great deal of what the American People the budget deal if approved will lift cap so military and domestic spending but first it must get through the house of representatives and this opposition from both republicans and democrats this will probably pass the senate but in the house its meeting with opposition from a lot of very conservative republicans who are deficit hawks and object to the fact that this deal will add half a trillion dollars to the federal budget deficit and democrats are angry led by nancy pelosi because it doesnt do anything to protect the socalled dreamers the contentious issue of protecting undocumented migrants led to a brief Government Shutdown last month it could well do so again seem to make america more and more.

U. Is supporting a scheme to turn appear in National Park interest ski resort activists say those behind the development are offshore Companies Involved in tax avoidance largely with force. European skiers enjoying the winter sunshine in the results have been scoped may or may not know there was a unesco World Heritage sites the beautiful ancient forest here supposedly protected by bulgarian and International Environmental laws the plans to expand the skiing area by cutting down far more of the forests has been enthusiastic lee backed by the government is economically lucrative but condemned by environmentalists as the rate of nature some of the trees are a thousand years old the bears and the wolves could lose their habitats if we allow this to happen in the National Park then these skiing projects can start in all our National Parks we only have three plus in our nature park so we will open the pandora box and this will be the end of protected areas in the area. Its as much about how controversial it is the protests against the scheme of being held in cities all over europe and beyond its also claimed to be part of a much wider rotten story about the rule of law in the European Union. The row over the legal and environmental implications of destroying the forests here in the apparent complicity of the Bulgarian Government elites have served to focus attention on this place in a way that the rich and the powerful in bulgaria really dont like at all because it appears the bomb scare was actually a giant Money Laundering operation dressed up as a ski resorts. Thats according to people like nick p. Points a bounce goes empty hotels and apartment blocks as evidence of tax avoidance thats the one behind it is absolutely empty that one is empty because the hotelier turned whistleblower whos watched Anonymous Companies build hotel blocks here apparently knowing theyll remain an occupied the central allegation is this a trick to inflate prices artificially and wash dirty money through the pristine resort its a truth the whole of bulgaria seems to know about but its all. Coming to light because of the wral over the future of the forest the Biggest Hotels are owned by that offshore company. The gondolas old by the offshore company they they lock down on you know their conditions of work and they dog budge at all because for them they have the monopoly the little care who even owns the resort is a mystery it was registered in the tax haven of cyprus another name of an unemployed local man he is on paper the owner of so Many Companies hes one of the biggest Foreign Investors in bulgaria the government claims to know who the real owners are but hes refused to say apparently it isnt in the Public Interest to reveal he wants to chop down the forests or why the more that goes. Its the last thing we care about whats important is gary in business and tourism to be successful every company that wants to develop both gary interest and follows the law and we would support it but on the question of who owns it i cant give an exact answer. The people who run bans go already stand accused of environmental regrets despite receiving millions from the European Union for sewage disposal human waste is allowed to run straight into the streams coming down from the mountain what they plan to do with the mountain itself if theyre allowed to cut the forest down is anyones guess gloriously aljazeera in bulgaria.

Historians often say that you could judge a civilization not from what it builds but from what it gets rid of which is why the museum of london has a brand new exhibit on display an extremely strange brace yourself. A latin name cumulus some of called it the beast of white chapel after it was found blocking up an east london sewer to us though its a fun and this is just the tip of it in its entirety it was two hundred fifty meters long the length of two football pitches and weighed one hundred thirty tons sixteen african elephants. So whats it made of well as you can probably imagine a vast amount of fat to that sprinkling of human excrement and then all the citys indigestible things like summer tailed wet wipes cotton buds things that can easily be broken up on the ground and it smells apparently like the rotting meat of the dirtiest toilet you can imagine its also highly toxic this Case Scenario if you handle that theyve been correctly its down through Something Like a bowel ses we thought about whether we should pick lids or freeze it put in freetown but instead what we decided is to add try and that has we achieved some of the rifts around the city. But its not all over for the big east of one chappal although most of it has been carefully destroyed some of it was so rich in fact that it was also rich in energy its been transferred into bio fuel to power londons number twenty four bus but like all good stories this is a cautionary one because thames water the looks after the drain spends more than a million and a half dollars every month to keep it strains blocked and most of that budget has gone on shifting this mother of all blockages so if theres a lesson to learn from all of this is be careful what you pour down the drain be careful what you flush because it could really appear to haunt you and you parker aljazeera london.
