And one of indias biggest movie stars three baby died at the age of fifty four. Syrian Government Troops have launched a new ground and air offensive in the rebel held on plate of eastern buthe does alice after the u. N. Security Council Agreed to demand a cease fire progovernment video shows Syrian Forces moving towards the area on the outskirts of the mass. Because its been on the heavy bombardment by the government and its allies including russia at least five hundred people have been killed just in the past week or lets get a better idea of the area were talking about eastern guta and compas is the Eastern Suburbs of damascus and rebel mortar fire from eastern do they can reach the center of damascus a victory there is a Big Government priority to rebel groups hostile to each other control different sections of the enclave along with several smaller groups where Government Forces have tried to enter by using the homs to damascus highway and also at. Lets go straight to our correspondent osama bin job theyve now hes joining us live from the turkish city of near the border with syria and osama what is the latest youre hearing about this ground offensive into eastern. But clashes have continued elizabeth since this morning between rebel fighters and groups which have been trying to set around and play from multiple fronts theyve been trying to coming trying to come in from various sides but rebels have been saying that their fighters have been able to hold off this advance and the they have not allowed Government Forces to come in it is worth noting that morsy off the most effective parts of the Syrian Governments military are being used in this offensive that is the fourth brigade the tenth Brigade Special forces and the tiger brigades and there are at least five major groups of rebel fighters which operate in eastern including. A formerly linked group which is being used as a pretext to attack Eastern Ghouta but people have been saying that that number of fighters belonging to this particular group which is formally a list for front pages linked to al qaida are very small there are only two hundred to three hundred fighters and there have been talks between rebel groups of trying to evacuate these five because because of them the attacks are continuing and it gives the Syrian Government the justification that if we using attack one of these groups is addition this language is one of the strongest groups and they say they have been able to hold their ground. Do not have not yet at the welcome the Security Councils decision regarding a cease fire because of the burden on our families and he said this suffering must be lifted of the decision to stop the bloodshed caused by the regime in eastern guta as usual we didnt find any commitment by the Syrian Regime and its russian allies Eastern Ghouta northwest in ghouta southern wist and almost every front and go to has been stalled by the regime on sunday in order to achieve some advance but they havent succeeded. So Jaish Al Islam saying that theyre welcoming the ceasefire but do we have any idea when it will actually be implemented. And that is the question that everybody seems to be asking has the Syrian Government committed to this cease fire will they allow United Nations aid to come in because the caveat in this resolution passed by the United Nations Security Council it says that the operation against isis groups that the u. N. Recognizes the terrorist groups will continue and the Syrian Government has been from the very onset insisting that it is fighting a lister front in eastern guta nobody knows when this fighting will stop when will there be car doors that will be called out so aid can actually move in weve been speaking to people at the United Nations who say that they are ready their houses therefore they can they can at the drop of a hot move these convoys in but that is going to be happening only when the Syrian Government allows them and people on the ground inside eastern with aid workers have been saying that it is not just the United Nations and the syrian foreign minister of it needs to prove this its the Intelligence Services which needs to approve the passage of these convoys this aid who have been stopping this aid from. The previous attempts when the United Nations tried to provide aid and help the people of the season nearly four hundred thousand of them since two thousand and thirteen asama thank you very much for that for now that is a psalm of the very latest joining us live from gaza content thank you. While the un Security Council vote followed days of tough negotiations to get russia on board from the United Nations on diplomatic editor james bates reports. For a third day diplomats worked frantically to get a resolution for a cease fire on syria about sort of you got an agreement with the russians now. Today were going to see if russia has a concert the Russian Ambassador conferred with his syrian counterpart whose government has continued without rest by the bombardment of eastern puter even as the negotiations dragged on diplomats have been working around the clock exhausted frustrated and in some cases angry most of the discussions focusing on the exact wording of one paragraph in the end they agreed to a place an immediate cease fire with one that comes into force without delay it meant they could vote. It was unanimous but there didnt seem to be much unity in the chamber. Every minute the council waited on russia the human suffering Group Getting to a vote the came a moral responsibility for everyone but not for russia not for syria not for iran i have to ask why as they dragged out the negotiation the bombs from assads fighter jets continued to fall in the three days it took us to adopt this resolution how many mothers lost their kids to the bombing and the shelling why we negotiated this so long and that is illusion that the wanted to make sure that it is not used as a pretext for any military action because we had some trouble so what in what ng government comments on that in the recent days any good in today some of the variability cause these negotiations were extremely hard getting a ceasefire across syria will be even harder can they get a stop to the bombardment in eastern guta there is an exemption in the resolution allowing continued military action against al qaida al nasra and eisel and some diplomats fear that the Syrian Government will assert that those fighting in eastern guta have links with those groups james pays out his era at the United Nations. Lets move on to other news now and the south korean government says north korea is open to talks with the United States that is after the president met with the controversial former north korean general kim young and moon held talks ahead of the closing ceremony and went in the next cell had to temporarily take off a blacklist to allow the visit they accuse him of being behind two attacks in two thousand and ten that killed fifty people a correspondent natasha going to name is joining us for more on this she is live in cancun this is not the first time natasha that there have been rumors of talks between the north. And the u. S. What happened previously. Yes this is the second time the United States has heard that the North Koreans were interested interested in dialogue during the weekend of the Opening Ceremony u. S. Vice president mike pence was prepared to have a secret meeting with the north korean delegation here at that time the delegation was led by kim jong sister kim it was a historic arrival here in south korea for her it was the first time a member of the ruling kim family had stepped foot on south korean soil since the war so the meeting was arranged by the South Koreans they were the intermediary it was supposed to take place at the president ial blue house in seoul only the North Koreans and the americans would attend two hours before that meeting the North Koreans backed out ostensibly they might have been upset because earlier that week Vice President pence had talked about another round the strongest round yet of sanctions coming to north korea in an attempt to get it to denuclearize and also met with north korean defectors so going into the closing ceremony white house was saying that there will be no talking with north korea and just earlier today elizabeth the North Koreans responded to the largest package of sanctions that the u. S. Is imposing on it by saying that the u. S. Is trying to undermine an improvement of relations between north korea and south korea and that is. The United States is bringing the threat of war to the closing ceremony of the delegation is here through tuesday the north korean delegation american delegation led by trump president trumps daughter and Senior Advisor i believe leaves prior to that so well have to see if its going to happen now or later or at all and get natasha even what the u. S. Pos and this new set of sanctions on saturday that saying through the south korean government that they will hold talks with the u. S. What does this mean. I think that a lot of analysts believe that what weve seen in the last several weeks and really since the beginning of the year when the north Korean Leader rather agreed to participate in the olympics is that north korea is feeling the heat of the sanctions and is looking for a way to dial down tensions after a pretty hostile twenty seventeen thats the sort of pessimistic side of things a lot of people think that north korea has waged this Charm Offensive during the olympics in attempt to somehow ease up on the sanctions continue to build its Nuclear Program and its economy president of south korea on the other hand has been very bullish about the process saying that he believes this is part of a reboot of korean relations but he does stress that dialogue between north korea and the United States is key for that kind of improvement in relations it will be interesting to see elizabeth if president moon will take advantage of kim jong invite to visit at the earliest possible time its a very tricky geo political situation for him and domestically there is obviously a lot of South Koreans who arent happy about that but if president does go to north korea for intercourse talks it would be the first time that kim jong un has met with the president of south korea since he took office seven years ago right natasha thank you very much for that for now that is a topic and i am joining us live thank you.
