It has been under siege with a disastrous humanitarian crisis for the past year. Did not stop the fighting. Activists say isil is launching a major offensive close to the border with turkey and captured two villages. Russia media is reporting on plans with the Syrian Government forces to strengthen efforts to retake the stet of alleppo. As we have been reporting over the past few days, the Prime Minister has been speaking to visiting leaders from moscow in the syrian capital, damascus. The turkish Prime Minister as is holding a Cabinet Meeting close to the border with syria. Its home to a large number of sir yavrn refugees. Its the first time a Cabinet Meeting has been held outside of ankara in 13 years. Charles stratford is live for us there in san lufra. The symbolism is not really lost on anyone. Thats right. The Prime Minister giving a speech under the pretext of honoring this city over colonial forces 100 years ago. No one was under any realism, the real power of why he is coming here he is here in southeast turkey, premiumly, people are saying because of the ongoing fight with what it describes as terrorist groups related to the pkk, the kurdish workers party. Peace negotiations broke down in july last year. There of subsequently been a defendant number of attacks that the government has blamed on those groups. There has also been a defendant military campaign in this region, mainly round the city of diaba here it was hugely so symbolic of him coming here. What he said summed it up. He said there were fors in turkey that were trying to ignite the same sort of fires that have been ignited in iraq and syria. He also said as a means of trying to bring some sort of unity and sense of security to the country saying that there were people until turkey who were lighting fires of brotherhood as a means of defense. So, it is hugely significance and so close to the Syrian Border where we are hearing reports of an ongoingition ill offensive. Whether its the fight betweens isil and the kurds, the pkk, maintaining as well a very definite definite line which we have to kind of blend in to our thinking about the u. N. Talks which are just a few hours away in geneva. Thats right. Whats happening in Northern Syria is of great concern to turks. Some were trying to break what has been reported as an offensive by isil. It comes under 48 hours from his schedule meeting general eve a the announcement by the Syrian Government that they intend on taking back control of alleppo, during a time of this agreed partial cease fire. We also obviously know that not all of the groups are party to that ceasefire, but as we have been reporting. Whats important is that alleppo is controlled by so many different groups, groups that are party to this ceasefire. So there is a lot at stake here and the closer we get to these scheduled talks in geneva, the more the tension seems to be increasing in syria. Its worth saying we have literally heard in the last twenty minutes from activists that we have been speaking to in syria. They are saying that there have been a defendant number of what they describe as russian airstrikes on various neighborhoods in alleppo. And they are also saying that isil forces have recertain more villages in the last 48 hours than the free syrian army, one of the armed opposition groups took. A lot at stake at circumstance a and a hell of a lot for stake in syrian. Charles thank you very much. The United States state john kerry laid a wreath in hiroshima. He is the most senior u. S. Official ever to visit the site the park as the runlz of a building destroyed by the atomic bomb during the closing day of the second world war. You cant but recognize hish hiroshimas legacy is one of rebirth and resilience. It is a tribute to the human spirit. In the years following the war, the people of hiroshima and japan have built a country that has become a powerful and important Global Partner in contributing to the eradication of disease, to the end of conflict, to the avoidance, of war. Al jazeeras correspondent adrienne brown. Even though mr. Kerry described what he described as gutwrenching, there was no apology. There was never going to be an apology. Thats right no. Apology was going to beforth coming here. That was something that was never really on the cards. Certainly, mr. Kerrys japanese hosts werent expecting that. Still, this was a very, very significant day. John kerry becomes the first to vicinity the piece Memorial Garden and lay a either. More than 140,000 people frwhen that atomic bomb was sdrobd on the city the Foreign Ministers who were with him toured the peace museum that. Contains photographs that were taken in the days and weeks after the. Mr. Kerry as you pointed out said he found those pictures absolutely gutwrenching. He said they touched all sensibilities and said i urge all people to come here, including the president of the United States, he said, when he was pressed by a reporter. But also he added the caveat that its unlikely that will president obama would come here because he has a very, very busy schedule during his remaining time in power. The reason why there has been write text, speculation that mr. Obama might come here is that the president is due in japan next month to attend the g7 leaders summit. In the past, he has said he would be honored to come here. This was a big deal for japan. This was the setting where they wanted to issue their hiroshima declaration which calls for the elimination of all Nuclear Weapons and global piece. Its the sort of thing you heard at peace rallies 50 years ago. What they are calling for here is a herculean challenge, something thats unlikely to happen, you know, in nigh lifetime but they say that nevertheless, a start has to be made. G rather. Doing in the South China Sea where its been busy reclaim can land and building artificial islands, then whats going to stop china doing the same thing in the East China Sea where there have been tensions between japan and china during the past few years. Now, in that communique, referring to the South China Sea, the ministers urged all countries involved. They didnt name china but they urged all countries involved to refrain from reclaiming land and turning those islands into effective military basis. And, also, calling on countries involved in this sovereignty push to respect maritime navigational results as well as overflights. So an indirect warning to china today. Adrian, thanks very much. The british Prime Minister is expected to face a tough time in the article article a little later today as he addresses mps. Its a day after public pressure forced him to publish his tax payment records since 2009. The Opposition Labor Party leader in london, Jeremiah Corbin is insisting that is not enough. He wants corbin to disclose all of his investments past and present in any offshore funds. Lets get more now on that story from our correspondent in london, barnaby phillips. One seas mr. Camerons left hand man, Charles Osborn is saying i may have to publish my tax affairs records as well. It doesnt look very good as mr. Cameron heads into the session in the commons . Its undoubtedly been a defendant very difficult week for the Prime Minister here in london, peter. This time a week ago, we were waking up to the Panama Papers and David Cameron was saying, any link between him and this Company Called blairmoore holdings, an offshore company which is worth millions of pounds that was set up by his late father was strictly private business, that he didnt want to speak about them. He meet he handled that response badly. By thursday evening, he said he had profiting to the tune of some 30,000 pounds. Whats that 50,000 in shares from this company, blairmoore holdings which he received back in 2010 and that he had paid tax on those. Over the weekend, he gave further details and gave the details of his tax returns as you said for the past six years. I think David Cameron is hoping that he has now drawn a line under this uncomfortable story, if you like. He will say it will be it announced a new task force run by the tax authorities and the National Crime agency here in britain that will look at the ref ladies around the Panama Papers. He is hoping by doing those questions that put him here in parliament ex move on. He will address his mps in a couple of hours time. He will talk to the country, talking to people voting in the e legs in may, may the 5th, we will know if he has managed to restore that idea of trust in a Prime Minister. If he sets up this special body to investigate peoples tax affairs, its a little bit like sepp blatter setting up an ethics committee. Tell emphasize everything he has been has been showing he comes from a wealthy family. He inherited hundreds of thousands of pounds from his parents but in a way, the British Public knew this about David Cameron. Yes elected him in 2010 and in 2015. We knew there was a wealthy family. We knew about eaton and oxford. You mentioned the elections in may but let me give you a date more important. At the end of june, britain holds a referendum on whether to leave the European Union or not. The results of this refer endum will make or break David Camerons career. I think its very difficult for him to remain has Prime Minister if he loses that referendum. It will shape britains place in the world, this has been a defendant payne distraction for him.

From the perspective of our government, we believe it can be one showing the movement of the powerful class. He knows about who is up and who is down in some hierarchy. What mat who knows who. Who is connected to whom. I has useful intelligence or he doesnt perhaps . Many things change over time. It has been under wraps for years they are trying to find out who the was running north korea.
