opposition and government will not be addressing each other of talking to each other. we know this will be a day of shuttling between the two delegations to discuss the issue we want to talk about in the round of talks. the opposition and the government have yet to address each other, and they will not do so today. maybe some of the issues they may put on the agenda is a possible prisoner exchange deal perhaps, opening nor humanitarian corridors. what we do know is the sticking issue, the political one. the transitional government might be postponed, but the syrian government is trying to avoid talking about this. the opposition wants to talk about the transitional government. without the presence of president bashar al-assad, where is the syrian government says it's a non-starter. it will be a part of the future of syria. it's a massive sticking point.

one thing they have been trying to work with is the ceasefire in homs. talks are resuming as that has been extended now. >> we spoke to the governor of homs, and he confirmed they are having a meeting. including the united nations aid team. they'll discuss how to evacuate in the old city of homs from neighbour hoods. there are a few christians left there. many have fled. you know, this operation faced many challenges with the ceasefire being broken several times. incidents of shelling. as stefanie dekker explains, was a break through, with hundreds evacuated and hundreds of food parcels delivered. >> captured on video, the help

they didn't believe would come, has come. this is when the cars arrived in homs. these people have been living under a siege for a year and a half. and this is the way out. >> a rare moment of happy innocence a war ta brought nothing but suffering. among those, a priest, a few christians left inside the old city. >> they are hardly smiling. they are exhausted and starved. they are crying. we are crying in our support too. we want to see everyone happy. every sit zep has a right to lead a dignified life. >> this is a glimpse into how it unfolded. discussions about who left, and those remaining looking for a way out. this has been an operation with challenges. this is earlier on sundays, activist groups it reported casualties. through the difficulties, this

day is hailed a success. >> most of those who left are women, children and older people. they are receiving medical attention, and are being received by government representatives, we overcame the challenges we face in the morning, and the humanitarian operation will continue. >> that was supposed to be the last day of a 3-day u.n. brokered ceasefire and has been extended by another three days. sunday's evacuation can be called a breakthrough. it's a victory in a 3-day war, leaving millions desperate for an end. >> the evacuees were happy and relieved to get out. the hope is the remaining syrians who want to leave can in the next few days, and the truce in the humanitarian operation

can be implemented where civilians are under siege. >> thank you for that. that's joining us from beirut and neighbouring lebanon. >> to other news. israel says it targeted a palestine fighter in an air strike in the gaza strip. the man was hit by a missile while riding a motorcycle. the israeli army believes he's affiliated to the group, which launched many rocket attacks. a second person was injured. >> voters in switzerland narrowly backed a plan to limit immigration from the european union. under swiss law the government has to renegotiate a treaty on free movement with the e.u. critics say restrictions will harm the economy. >> in a country relying on foreign workers a vote gauging support for immigration control is contentious. a proposal to limit control of

immigrants was brought by the right-wing party. it wants the party to abandon its agreement. switzerland is too crowds, causing a strain on infrastructure and social programs, contributing to a steep rise in housing prices. initial results points to a narrow victory. 50% supports the cap, a difference of 30,000 votes. >> people here feel like they press down the salaries, they raise the prices. they are pressure on the education system. it increases because of them and there is a perceived feeling that immigration is behind a lot of problems in switzerland. >> switzerland is not a member of the european union, but it has adopted large sections of their mark. >> it's not clear what the quota

will be. but the decision means the swiss government needs to renegotiate the deal. with several relying on them, quotas would be a mistake, say critics. >> about every working day 700 million pounds of trade is conducted between switzerland and the e.u. this will not do switzerland any favours, but it could have disastrous consequences. >> brussels said swit cannot cherry-pick aspects of the policy. with thoughts divided this could be the first step towards a changing relationship with the european block. >> peace talks between the warring factions are set to resume in the ethiopian capital. fighting began in mid december.

are crick to create -- quick to create distortions. community who have lived peacefully are starting to reget each other. >> you sound like a mother that wants to treat all her children the same. >> translation: i would like to treat all of them the same way. all anti-ballack e an call me, they have my phone n. they call and talk about their issues. the ex seleka. i took them in my government and cabinet. i believe they are outline citizens, regardless of origins or religious convictions. some commit crime. they have to pay for it. as a mum, i will not protect them. all will have to account for their actions. >> are you looking at the

international criminal court to play around. >> i think that the procedure started. i received a call from the key prosecutor of the icc with cases in relation to 2010 to 2013. she was counting on the support of my government which i confirmed. i reassured i will not protect anyone. we will not block the process of a reconciliation. today this did not stop anything and crimes were committed. and acceptable atrocities against the people. if we want to the receive conciliation justice must be done and repperations made. >> more to come. including arrests are made over one of the worst factory fires. we talk to victims and their families. plus, the rise of chinese cinema, how the berlin festival

gates were locked. >> activist says the arrest is a sign of progress. >> it is a progress. it took too long to get here. the first factory fire happened in 1990, in dakar. 52 workers were kill. if the state has taken a step against the factory owner, maybe we could have made the fires from happening. >> back in 2012. several were injured. they ended up in this hospital to get treatment. one of the victims is that, she's struggling for her life again. they never received compensation. the money made it easier. it's a sad story. activists and workers say that it's a sign of a cycle, that it

working is that australia have launched boarders. it stops people from entering australia. >> it's unlikely to stop everyone. a short drive from kuala lumpur found many migrants and refugees desperate for help. the first question asked "are you organising a boat to australia." he's been in australia five years, in gaol three times and desperate to escape a life in limbo. his body is covered in scars to wounds he gave himself to escape his gaol cell. he has lost hope. >> i know the risks of taking a boat. i have no life here, i'm prepared to die and get another life. >> he knows 20 others who would join him. malaysia is hosting 100,000
