syria is causing problems in eradicating polio. the latest information links the worsening state of health care for children in syria with the rising rate of the infectious disease. they recorded their first case of polio in four years last month. >> a drop in childhood immunization openeded door for vaccine-preventible diseases to return to syria. they did. the first cases of polio in syria since 1999 were reported in october 2013. this marks a significant risk and threat to syria's children. >> still in syria, where rebels control most of the border crossings with turkey and infighting among the groups is making it difficult for aid workers to get supplies in to

turkey. >> a queue of trucks waiting to cross the border from syria to turkey. the drivers have been here for about three weeks. opening and closing the gait depends on security conditions inside syria. this is a member of the syrian's aid office. he has 22 trucks carrying food baskets, baby formula and blankets. fighting among opposition groups is affecting his work. >> it is so difficult to go inside syrian boarders. the roads are not safe. we are facing difficulties from all sides - the internal fighting and others. >> the infighting is also wor worryingiaworr worrying syrians, who use the crossings on a daily basis. >> all the people are scared. we hope god will solve the issue

safely. >> unfortunately security has their own interests. we hope they unit. fighting is affecting people's lives, killing innocent once. >> turkey's officials did not want to talk on camera, but they have security concerns. >> the fighting between the rebel groups across the border intensifying earlier this month. there were three attacks, and that slowed the flow of goods. for now, they have allowed trucks and people to trickle in and out. >> on sunday a car bomb exploded outside the hospital in the border town of a former stronghold of the iraqi state. three days earlier, a car bomb hit the border crossings with

turkey, on february 18th, i.s.i.l. fighters seized the same crossing, but failed. the wave of attacks and fighting killed and wounded dozens of people. nearly all border crossings with turkey are under the control of rebel fighters, and there is fear that the conflict among them will make the situation worse for syrians. >> well, u.n. general ban ki-moon is asking bashar al-assad's government to allow aid into the country. it is meeting stumbling blocks. we have more details. >> the bombs, the gun fire. these are the familiar weapons of syria's civil war. many areas have also been under siege for well over a year. nothing is getting in. no one is making it out. that means food or the lack of

it has become a powerful new weapon. people are starving. those that do have something to sell, say it will not last long. >> prices doubled and merchants blame the border closures. prices of goods are rising. people are starving to death. >> a security council resolution opened the door for efforts to get aid into syria. there's a hold-up and the u.n. chief is blaming the syrian government. >> i call on the syrian government to authorise more humanitarian staff and partners to work in syria. it is not credible to site bureaucratic procedures as reasons for delay when it is the government itself that controls those procedures. >> syria's u.n. ambassador admissibility the registration, comparing the situation to a movie. >> the situation remind he of a

hollywood film with excellent directors and actors. one that has a script that is not credible, truthful and in flaying rant contrast with what has been spent on the film. >> the separation for syrians has deteriorate, with the numbers needing aid going up by a third in the last four months. syrians could overtake afghans as the largest group of refugees. hundreds of thousands... >> ms kessler is a senior spokesperson for the unhcr and joins us from ayman. welcome to the program. infighting between the syria government and the opposition, the u.n. resolutions looked good on paper, but nothing has changed on the ground. >> you're absolutely right. we

are in the midst of what could be a major disaster for syria's refugees. the afghans fled their homeland 35 years ago, and that could leave us, we hope, not, of course, but, indeed, where will it leave the millions of children displaced within syria, the chin displaced in the refugee-hosting countries, that six and a half, close to 7 million children affected by the conflict. >> the last generation of children that are not being educated and suffering from the psychological horrors of the war. >> it's a terribly worrisome situation as your report indicates. in syria we are seeing signs of malnutrition. u.n.i.c.e.f. and the world food program found signs of

malnutrition. it's vital that more aid get into the region, so where the u.n. and partner agencies deliver, the children, the other refugees can get the assistance they need, but it's a fright nipping situation with more than 2.5 million syrians, refugees, outside the country within the next four weeks, poised to overtake the afghans as the world's largest population as refugees, and many, many millions, 6.5 million people displaced withinside syria. it's a frightening situation for the vast generation of children, who number, 5.5 million or more. people that need to bring piece. >> there's little anyone can do to stop the flow of people, is there? >> well, it's absolutely vital

that the parties on the ground, the parties fighting the conflict realise the damage it's bringing to syria's future, to its children. it's important that the supporters of the syrian government, the opposition oversees, realises that the war is fuelling more misery for the children, hunger, lack of schooling, lack of health care, tremendous needs among their parents, people with chronic illness, the elderly. it's, indeed, important for the entire international community to put pressure on all the parties on the ground to find a solution to this conflict so it does not endure as afghans has. >> thank you very much for speaking to us. peter kessler, a senior spokesperson for the unhcr. >> well, in other news the u.s.

president has put the pentagon on standby,el teling it to get ready to remove all troops. >> hamid karzai refused to sign a security agreement, and much of the american public is fine with taking boots off the ground. >> u.s. president barack obama has left the negotiating with hamid karzai to his staff. after nine months of silence, he picked up the phone on tuesday to send him a personal warning. he was told while the u.s. wants to stay in afghanistan, they have given up hope that hamid karzai will sign a security agreement. 12 years after the invasion, the u.s. started planning for the so-called zero option, a complete withdrawal. also warning that there'll be consequences the longer he delays. >> the further we go without a signed vsa, any 2014 mission

would be limited in scale and ambition because of the requirements of planning for that troop appearance. >> analyst mark jacobsen says that could mean 3,000 troops stay, holed up in bagram mainly to conduct drone issues. >> it will have some working with afghan forces, that's about it. >> that's hamid karzai's trump card, if the u.s. continues drone headquarters, u.s. troops have to be in afghanistan. >> if the president wants to decide on the zero option, he'll get push back from the military, congress, who fear what will happen in afghanistan if the troops leave entirely. 56% of those asked in a recent poll belief the war in afghanistan was not worth

fighting. >> those people would be more than happy to see the billions in aid kept in the u.s. that is the trump card. it's not just a question of if the afghan forces an take on the taliban and win, but if the government can stay in the fight. >> bernard smith has a view from kabul. >> the u.s. wanted to leave 8,000 troops in afghanistan from the beginning of 2015, to train, advise and assist afghan forces and continue the fight against al qaeda remnants in afghanistan. if they pull out, there's a risk that after 13 years of involvement in afghanistan, and the loss of more than 2,000 american service personnel, the u.s. could risk losing the gains it made in afghanistan, in its fight against terrorism. there's a big risk for the afghan government if the u.s. falls out. foreign powers are contributing

up to $8 billion a year to maintaining afghan forces and providing aid to afghanistan. it's unlikely they'll continue to provide the money if they are going to be kicked out by the afghan government. the main contenders in the election said they'd sign the bilateral agreement. the problem is it's probable there'll be no outright winner on april the 5th, meaning a run-off and the presidential campaign running long into the summer. we possibly won't know who the leader will be until the end of the summer and the clock will tick down on the preps of american troops in afghanistan. >> let's go to kaboul, to a member of parliament. why is hamid karzai refusing to

sign the bileral security agreement when both countries agreed to it last year, after months of negotiations? >> absolutely. not only both governments, but the people. people in afghanistan gathered in the ground council, the royal jirga, in which they arrived tore great for hamid karzai to sign the bilateral security agreement. there's no point for hamid karzai to not sign the bsa. i guess all the conditions have been met from within president hamid karzai's side. the delay from one perspective is a political game on president hamid karzai's side. the government of afghanistan should take the last telephone conversation of president obama

serious, in terms of the zero option. they should look at the demand of afghan people and the demand is for the bsa to be signed and for afghanistan to have a longer term bilateral security agreement and strategy agreement with the united states. we should remember that the bsa was, in a way, conceptualized with the strategy partnership with the united states, approved and ratified with the parliament, and with the government in 2012. there's no point in delaying from the president's site. >> how concerned are you in the president removing all troops at the end of the year? >> it should end responsibility and properly.

zero option. at this stage it is not an option and for some politicians in the united states. we know the consequences. we know the consequences are not only grave on afghans, losing most of the gains we had in the past 11 years, but i think people in the united states should be concerned. remember before 2001 when afghanistan was abandoned by the international community and the united states, the attack happened. afghanistan was changed to a safe haich. the concern is that is my be repeated. i ask our president to sign the bsa and ask the president of the united states to be patient,

because we have the upcoming elections and hopefully if not this president, the next will sign the bsa. >> thank you very much for speaking to us. >> still ahead - dangerous weather conditions in china. now it's moving to south korea. >> human rights groups call them a death penalty, we meet the family of a deadly drone strike in afghanistan. >> and sport - the details of defeat. >> a power vacuum in ukraine continues. rivals delaying the announcement of a coalition government. protesters in independence square are growing impatient,

angered by the inability to lead. acting prime minister oleksandr turchynov who took charge of the armed forces warned of signs of separatism. protests are taking place in the russian enclave of crimia. the value of ukraine's currency is plunging as they struggle to keep the country afloat. >> john kerry says the world should unit and support ukrainians and rejected suggestions of a cold war rivalry between u.s. and moscow. >> it's not a zero-some game, it's not west versus east - shut not be. it's not russia or the united states or other choices it's about people, ukrainians making their choices. we want to work with russia,

other countries, everyone available to make sure this is peaceful from this day forward, because obviously the terrible violence that took place in the maydan was a shock to everyone in the world. >> tim friend joins us live from kiev. take us through the developments on the ground and what is expected to happen later today? >> sure. as you have been hearing from john kerry, what i think everyone is striving for now, not only the international community, but the people in kiev, and we are just a few hunt dread metres -- hundred metres away from the epicentre from what is regarded as a revolution. what they want is a form of consensus, and what they are hearing is that the new cabinet will be put to the people in

independent square. now, it may be put to them as a whole or to their leadership, but the politicians know if they don't get their support, there could be further trouble ahead. it's an unusual process. you would normally expect a new cabinet to be within the power of parliament and government, but we are in what they record as a post revolutionary situation, and so the people in the square, who believe they have brought that about, will have their say, we think later on on wednesday. >> thank you. tim friend with the latest from the ukrainian capital kiev. >> pakistan's government presented its national security policy to parliament. it will target the headquarters or groups fighting against the state. this comes as the air force stepped up attacks in the

north-west. pakistani jets killed troops on tuesday. extra troops are being sent into the area. civilians are being forced to flee. >> we are joined from islamabad. i believe this is pakistan's first ever security policy. >> absolutely. there was a demand that there should be a policy on national security. it has come before parliament. it was approved on tuesday by the cabinet and the interior minister speaking about the policy said there would be a rapid reaction force. it is 100 page document. we are told it's in three parts. the first part, of course, is kept secret. the second one deals with strategic, and the third with

operational aspects of this new policy. now, the government also wanted support from the opposition. it said it had taken the opposition on board on the key document, and that it wanted approval from parliament. >> is it likely to be passed by parliament? >> most probably because the opposition leader spoke in parliament and said they will support a move by the government to hammer out a consensus and this is the first serious attempt to form a policy because in the past the laws pertaining to anti-terrorism were not effective and the new laws are likely to increase coordination as far as the intelligence agencies are concerned and to have a swift response in case of terrorist strikes anywhere in

pakistan. >> thank you, kamal hyder in islamabad. >> strikes by unmanned aircraft in pakistan have been hailed as a success by son, including november's hit on the talibanie leader. but some drone strikes killed many innocent victims, we met the family of a victim in peshawar. >> this woman lost her husband in a drone strike in 2009 in north waziristan. he was a mechanic. now she has no means to provide for her five children. she has moved from her home. >> translation: it was not safe to leave my children in the area. they were distressed due to hovering drones, and they were afraid to live in the area because of drone strike. i'm worried about their education because i can't afford

it. i can hardly afford to feed them. >> the united nations is concerned about drone strikes. so far there has been no u.s. drone strikes in pakistan's tribal areas. for hundreds of civilians that lost loved ones, it doesn't mean much. >> translation: my eldest is 15. he was in ninth grade. i stopped sending him to school. he works as a labourer to earn for the family. i wish his father was alive so he could fulfil his dream of educating the children. >> i'm a poor woman. >> the obama administration says it targets high-profile hard liners. the victims do not agree with that. some believe drone attacks might resume if the talks fail. >> and the former editor of a

more power over the turkish judiciary. the supreme council is responsible for appointments, judiciary measurements and where judges serve. in recent times in turkey, one of the things that characterised the upheaval and the launches of a corruption investigation is that a lot of judges and procedures were reshuffled around the country, an attempt to break a covert yet work working within the judicial system. this is the government's second move and reaction from the president has been seen as a weather vain. the president meant to up a neutral position. he was a senior minister in the ruling party before he became president. many turks wondered where he would stand in changing the
