The children call for their father. Was a 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 after the bombing. These children prayed in the dark in an underground shelter one of them wants the world to feel their pain her.

If syrians living in cities abroad have protested in small gatherings they reject that the fight in eastern is against what the government calls terrorists. But the Syrian Government iran and russia say the civilian deaths in who are fabricated propaganda activists from who have been sending us messages asking people to imagine living their lives without proper electricity or Running Water for five years and now the bombs just dont stop whether its day or night some of the job under zero. In the turkey syria border. Where the picture is coming out of eastern huta appears to show a deadly mix of weapons being used by Syrian Government forces in one of the bloodiest assaults of the seven year war and the chapelle explains. Guta is just outside damascus a rebel held area that includes the Eastern Suburbs of the capital. Making it close enough for rebels to fire mortars into central damascus and for Syrian Forces to deliver a devastating response. Since february eighteenth Government Forces have targeted a series of densely populated towns in the area the u. N. Says there are nearly four hundred thousand people there that includes rebel fighters but most are civilians for days as strikes and months of forced families and children into underground shelters we cant do anything we cant even go outside to get food. Some of the weaponry being used is designed to target underground hiding places this video shot by an activist in the region on wednesday appears to show helicopters dropping vacuum bombs with their signature parachutes al jazeera cant confirm these are vacuum bombs but one weapons expert we spoke to says hes ninety nine percent sure they are this weapon creates a pressurized shockwave and a vacuum rupturing lungs and other internal organs thats if the target doesnt die in the initial fireball. If that wasnt enough the same area was later showered by incendiary cluster bombs. The u. N. Secretary general has described the situation as hell on earth. With weapons like these being used in a densely populated area just a few kilometers away from the syrian capital. Enter chapelle al jazeera well our diplomatic editor james baines joins us live now from the United Nations headquarters and james for the past few days the Security Council has been trying to pass a resolution calling for a cease fire. Across syria were meant to see a vote pretty much now whats going on there. Ambassadors of certainly arrive for a Security Council meeting which is shared chilled as any vote is as an adoption of a Security Council resolution of course you find out in the chamber whether they actually adopt it when they raise their hands as you can see though from the live pictures we have of the chamber no vote at this stage is taking place remember throughout the throughout friday wed watched for a vote and it didnt happen and in fact those who came up with the original draft had wanted to put this to a vote on thursday two so not at all clear whether the vote is going to take place right now but certainly there are some who are calling for it to take place whatever the russian position everyone should put their cards on the table right now and vote and among those is the u. S. Ambassador to the United Nations nikki haley shes actually been away from new york for a couple of days shes back here in the last few minutes arriving at the Security Council moments ago on the floor below here as she arrived i asked her do you have agreement with russia she replied today were going to see if russia has a conscience the words of nikki haley moments ago we heard from the dutch ambassador to who said that he had signs perhaps that they could get an agreement today that they could be a positive vote on this resolution that is possibly going to be put to the Security Council in the near future clearly the key player in this is russia russia making no statement to us at this moment the russians have been in the u. N. Building certainly for well over an hour weve seen the Russian Ambassador vasily into bens ear he has been on the phone he was spotted just moments ago in fact i was just checking my phone my colleague saw him on the phone in deep conversation. In a short time ago we dont know whether hes discussing his current position with moscow weve also seen him in touch with the Chinese Ambassador in deep conversations with him remember china quite often has voted with russia on syria but not always occasionally chinas voted with the west sometimes russia has vetoed resolutions and china has just abstained so their views the chinese views important the other person that weve seen a mass in the benazir with in the last few minutes is the syrian ambassador. Jeffrey it one more thing to relate regarding him is when he arrived at the Security Council i asked if the council was the vote for a cease fire would his country comply with that he clearly didnt like my question and muttered under his breath who made you the chairman of this meeting. James just remind us now what the main sticking points as far as we know what the main sticking points are between russia and if not all most of the rest of the Security Council. Well i can certainly tell you the point that they have been questioning in the resolution this is the resolution technically before theyre put ready to vote that its an Old Fashioned thing used to be that with a typewriter with a blue ribbon theyre put in blue they still use that term and they still put them in a blue color which means the resolutions ready to vote and you can see on this version its this paragraph the actual main substandard power of one and you see the read where things have come out of the resolution thats the paragraph where the changes have been made what they call the operative paragraph one of the resolution and its all really about the the real detail of how this would take effect this ceasefire the timing of the cease fire there was a time period in the word immediately came out of there the new version has without delay that the cease fire should come into effect its those sorts of details that are being argued over i can tell you that certainly some countries and to have met put this on the record the u. K. And the u. S. Believe that the russians are not actually arguing about the terms of this theyre just trying to delay. Well it is being delayed right now we can see live pictures there of the Security Council chamber all the chairs empty of course the embassador is not there yet well see if they show up for a vote anytime soon james bays well of course check back in with you at a later point in the in thank you.

Commending the government because it had knowledge of this problem early on and like in the past when it took weeks before the government accepted the fact that these goes up in particular the government will be keen to avoid that repeat of chip balk a two thousand and fourteen simply because its Campaign Season starts very shortly and already it has gained momentum in this country the president will want to see this issue quickly resolved and how soon nobody knows at the moment but its clear that the next few days will determine whether or not this government will succeed in bringing this goes back and people will be watching what it will do also regarding the remainder of the trouble goes could not bible quote on four years ago.

Banking and the effect on the economy and still very much also against the e. U.
