Lets bring in our correspondent a solid binge of aid he is joining us live from gaza along the turkish Syrian Border sama weve heard from the Opposition Syrian National Council about the situation and eastern goodfellow what are they saying. Well weve been hearing not just from the Syrian Opposition but the turkish government as well which is a gotten door off to us than the peace talks with bridge deescalation zones for which were established in syria turkey was supposed to guarantee the oppositions part of the bargain by iran and russia was supposed to make sure that the regime the assad regime complies and we heard from the Turkish Foreign minister who said that turkey is trying to keep its part of the bargain but. On the rise in moscow needs to rethink its strategy in syria and these violations must stop the airstrikes must end and that was something that we heard from the Syrian Opposition as well who directly blamed russia for what is happening in eastern libya. How to whats taken place in eastern is a genocide and a crime against humanity in violation of international and humanitarian law and the perpetrators should be held liable accountable and cannot escape punishment under any circumstances russia is to blame for directly being involved in the military campaign and even apartment. Of course continues to deny any involvement but they are. Also blocking that u. N. Security Council Resolution for a cease fire approach proposing amendments to it you know while the bombardment continues and were hearing of rockets causing fires and. Absolutely that is that and the latest development which weve heard since last night going into friday morning thats rockets which crossfire incendiary bombs have been used which when they land create a fireball which engulfed everything in its surrounding there have been very few casualties because of the fact that a lot of people have been going to underground shelters because of the intense bombardment in the eastern bloc we heard last night from the u. S. Diplomats in the in the United Nations the haiti saying that it is preposterous when russia says that it is going in that there is no link between killing civilians and fighting terrorism and one has to be separated from the other the u. N. Has been insisting that it is their right for people to have humanitarian access it is not one of the viciousness it is supposed to be their right and they should get it but inside the east and the besieged eastern voter situation has become much more grim weve heard multiple attacks in areas in various parts of eastern where people have not been able to come out of these shelters that theyve been living in and people especially parents are finding it extremely hard. To look at them with their look at those. Most of the smallest coffins are the heaviest busy to thirty i mean there are dozens every day for parents saying goodbye to little children is not easy but almost every family has lost someone the number of dead is so high that trenches are being dug for quick burials. If people linger outside for too long they risk becoming victims of the next bombing. Living rooms and offices are now makeshift morgues. For those who survived the attacks medical facilities are not available thanks to Doctors Without Borders says thirteen hospitals have been hit in three days. Since sunday the Syrian Government and its allies have stepped up their strikes in terms of the converging on the field and. Supposed to be blown off or deescalation zones agreed upon by russia iran and turkey but the Syrian Government says its getting what it called in an area home to four hundred thousand people and russia denies its involved in the relentless from bodman of civilians. The situation really leaves much to be decided well as you know the responsibility for the situation in eastern huta rests with those who support the terrorists tunnels like these have been crucial for rebels who have stopped multiple attempts to storm the Eastern Front in the past get off numbered and their supplies have been cut off but the residents say they will not surrender without a fight each month. Or capabilities a week but god willing we will deal with this the regime will lose again would face similar attacks and it didnt fall and now again we will survive this. Besieged city and say none of the words from people in power have done much to protect them. Messages for help from eastern who have been nonstop street after street there are bodies and parents have been trying to pull their children out of the rubble the United Nation calls it hell on earth for besieged people in eastern huta who feel abandoned by the outside world they might as well be living on another planet some of the job with aljazeera. Lets move on to other news now and government leaders and North Eastern nigeria have apologized for telling the parents of missing schoolgirls that their daughters have been rescued the announcement turned out to be false and has sparked outrage the girls were taken from their school in your bay state on monday well our correspondent our common interest was the First International journalist on the ground and sent this report from dutchy disappointment induction i was after parents were told that daughters have been rescued the State Government apologized saying the information was not true for the relatives of more than one thousand students the wait has just begun some say its all over again. These sisters have not only escaped the kidnappers but their older sister wasnt as lucky the incident leaves them devastate. The number living as they came just after we broke our monday fast we heard gunshots there was chaos everywhere she tried to comfort us but it only got worse four of us sisters started running together she fell and i fell down but someone picked me up that was the last time i saw her she was taken. Neighbors poor into their home to offer support. At the go school we were refused access to film inside i would miss is that some of the attackers dressed in military fatigues drove through the school gates but before they got in many of the girls alerted by the gunshots fired early on scaled the perimeter friends of the school and escaped but some girls say they saw some of their schoolmates being led into a waiting truck. So lee and his family thought they too were received fourteen year olds and up but she was one of the school girls taken in to tell us the mother is in hospital she fainted on hearing to her daughter was and found a greek is too much for her thank you but there isnt much is expected of the second Year High School student for now they continue to wait hoping to hear good and definitive news about the return of their child residents hope the tragedy will be as long as a twenty four incident where more than two hundred seventy goals like kidnapped from their school more than a third of them i had to be found one hundred reese aljazeera duction. As the author of brides and child kong scripts and haven is the nigerian governments strategy of paying ransoms to boko haram as partly to blame for the latest abductions. By given them woman. By the nigerian government. Then. And see a greeting and a comprehensive Peace Agreement is one of the agreements. We need if we. Begin or they want to agree on one but. Were going to. Try to address them so if theyre not. Agree on how to deal with them then there. Is change with them then we can now see we are looking at ending the war well then with one hundred minutes it does not help. To the u. S. Now where president don trump is not backing away from his controversial proposal to teach us to prevent School Shootings has even suggested that they should be paid a bonus but trump is under pressure to pass tougher gun laws off last weeks man shooting at a Florida High School i want health costs. Has more. Arming teachers in the classroom is a controversy allied being promoted by President Donald Trump to prevent School Shootings if you harden the sights youre not going to have this problem because these guys who lack courage will never go into the schools he says he wants to encourage educators to become comfortable with the gun even offering bonuses for those with firearms skills i want my schools protected just like the. Im sure protected trump made the comments on thursday at another white house listening session following the shootings in parkland florida that left seventeen people dead most of them teenagers. Since the School Shooting fellow students have made their voices heard and brought pressure to bear on trump and other right of center politicians to tighten gun restrictions Arming Teachers is not what they have in mind thats their plan anyway mark barden lost his son in two thousand and twelve when the sandy hook School Shooting School Teachers have more than enough responsibilities right now then to have to have the awesome responsibility of lethal force to take a life on twitter trump attempted to clarify his position and floated other proposals such as background checks for those buying a gun raising the legal purchasing age to twenty one and again suggesting the end of the sale of socalled bump stocks that increase a weapons fire power not all but some of those ideas are at odds with the biggest Gun Rights Group in the United States with National Rifle association or n. R. A. Pushing back against any effort to limit gun ownership the elites dont care not one whit about Americas School system for them. Its not a safety issue its a political issue they care more about control. And moreover gun owners agree every right to protect ourselves protect our children so if theyre properly trained why not be able to use that i think that it would send a message across the nation that we are taking it in this into our own hands were fighting back and we will be the first line of defense and while there is support for at least some of Donald Trumps proposals even the most basic limits on gun ownership will require congressional approval of accomplishment that in the past has proved difficult can really help get aljazeera washington and about two hours from now donald trump is expected to address the largest gathering of conservative leaders and activists will be speaking to them in maryland lets go to our correspondent alan fischer he is joining us live from there so allan what what can we expect from the president and what kind of reception can we expect especially given the events around the Florida Shooting and the head of the n. R. A. Is addressed to see pat yesterday. Well lets talk about what reception is going to get first he will get a very good reception here thats because a year ago see part wasnt quite on board with all that donald trump was trying to do one year on do you see that there are talks because they see that there has been a change in some of the registration in regulations around the u. S. So theyre back and live of course seeing the number of conservative judges given high profile positions including one on the Supreme Court so that all plays very well here they might be some concern about the way he acts on twitter but hes delivering a conservative agenda still be very happy what sort of thing will we hear from donald trump well it depends will we hear from script to donald trump who sticks very much whats on the prompter or will as weve seen before in an arena where he feels safe and comfortable unloved will he go off script and start to see other things will he talk about gun control almost certainly but what hes going to talk about. Its Arming Teachers as weve heard he may not raise the issue of raising the age of people having automatic weapons he may not talk about banning bump stops he may not talk about even increasing Gun Legislation so he background checks because there are many pro gun advocates in this audience and so he doesnt want to upset his base essentially doesnt want to get booed at a sea Party Conference so he may well steal away from those controversial issues so it really sort of depends on what sort of mood donald trump is in to do it which will dictate what sort of speech we get from the president in the next couple of hours and we might expect more consensus because we say alan if he speaks about International Issues away from the domestic front that were expecting him to talk about like north korea and more sanctions. Exactly dont trump is going to go through his greatest hits which weve heard from twenty sixteen during the Election Campaign that hes repeated it piers points that the iran deals a terrible deal and he wants to renegotiate it and hes told congress that he wants to do that north korea has got to be stopped and they will take action if that is necessary that nato needs to step up and start contributing more and all the usual things that weve heard from donald trump over the last eighteen months we will hear again is the part thats because that plays very well here and of course hes going to lord his own domestic achievements such as neil gorsuch a Supreme Court justice such as tax cuts as well which he says look the democrats were talking badly about that everyones getting the tax cuts everyone seems to be very happy donald trump likes talking about the things hes done well and the crowd here will love him for that so he will get a very warm reception which is in contrast to a year ago as a see when they like donald trump but no hes delivering on promises that hes made mike pence the Vice President said yesterday promises made promises kept they will go. Who are very very pleased at what donald trump has got. All right allan thank you very much for that now thats alan fischer joining us live from maryland thank you we have plenty more ahead on the news hour including a forgotten crisis five years into the conflict in the Central African republic half the population on needs urgent humanitarian aid. Some high profile but controversial officials from north korea and the u. S. To attend the closing ceremony of the Winter Olympics games in south korea and a fifteen year old ones the first gold medal of the games for the olympic athletes from russia joe will have the details and scored. International donors have managed to raise more than five hundred Million Dollars in pledges for an African Military alliance aimed at combating armed groups across the sahara region where leaders of five african countries sort of funding at a gathering in brussels the socalled g. Five so how joint military force works alongside french and u. S. Troops and is made up of soldiers from mauritania mali. And chad correspondent joining us live from that conference in brussels so they raise the money natasha thats needed is that an indication of concern among european leaders about the situation in the region. I think theres no doubt there was a lot of concern on all sides its an International Conference on all sides express their support for those who are trying to bring some form of stability to the region in fact the president of the tone at the beginning of this conference he said if nothing is done to try and stabilize this region it will simply descend into violence and into chaos and he brought up the fact that the soil is what he called at. The frontier of europe and that is something the city hasnt been lost on european leaders here with an in creasing number of refugees leaving this west african region and arriving on european shores and the e. U. Foreign policy chief. Greenie said a little bit earlier that of course that is something that most european leaders want to stop so theres really this realisation that the situation is particularly urgent for the african nations who war on the front line if you will who
