that have endured for hundreds of years reduced to republic. for three years the world has watched the continuing disaster for syria and it's people. on the grounde bashar al-assad is winning. the city of yabroud is the last opposition hold in syria. but it does not seem to be the end of the conflict or the suffering. we talked to some of the families who are living in lebanon. >> reporter: a refugee syria sye never thought they would give birth to her youngest child in lebanon. her parents and siblings became refugee he is here but she was brought into this world as one.

>> i feel sorry for her because whatever she has it will be less than what her siblings have. she'll be deprived of warmth, clothes. >> reporter: they have listened in a tented community for over a year and a half. >> the war has prevented us from having dreams or plans for our lives. we just survive the day not knowing what will happen to us tomorrow. all our hopes and ambitions and plans have been shattered because of this war. we have no hope for the future. >> reporter: his son tells him he wants to return to syria because he's unhappy here. but he said they can't return because syria is too dangerous. over 2.5 million syrians have been registered as refugees in neighboring countries. the majority here in lebanon.

three years after the start of the conflict with no political solution the future looks more uncertain for these people. the u.n. refugee agency said syrians could make up the largest refugee population in the world. the war has devastated children the most. between those living under siege in syria, those displaced internally, and those living in exile 5.5 million syrian children effected. despite the conditions they face in exile syrians are still fleeing, choosing a life of hardship over death. this family recently fled, and they've been here for ten days. all they fea feel is fear and uncertain glit we're afraid welfare be able to go back. we're afraid that our house is destroyed and things will be so much worse than they are. we'll never be able to go back. >> reporter: the catastrophe continues to grow.

and if the world does not act refugees say they will feel abandoned and deprived of a future. >> the u.n.'s high commissioner for refugees joins me live from beirut. good to have you with us. when you think back three years when the war started a few people would think that we would get to this stage, three years on and the war still continuing. it's a desperate situation, isn't it. >> reporter: it is, indeed, a desperate situation and is situation that the syrian people have not deserved. they have always been very genius for refugeesgenerous to o see these people suffering, the largest displaced population in

the world today, and soon the largest refugee population in the world, this is something that really breaks my heart. i think international community has a responsibility to overcome divisions, overcome problems that exist between the superpowers and the neighbors that are related to the confli conflict. everyone must come together and stop this war because the amount of suffering the syrian people are suffering is intolerable, insufferable and i heap it ends soon. >> the biggest cost is the children. the aid agencies talking about a lost generation. i know you've been visiting syrian refugee children. how have they been affected by this war? >> well, in a tragic way. first of all inside syria we have a generation of children drama advertitraumatized by vio.

they've seen their family be killed, their houses be destroyed and fighting around them. i was recently with a family, and the young boy who was four years old was shooting with a toy gun, ta-ta-ta, and there was no way to calm him down. violence is the way of life for him. then when the people cross the border and find safety in another country we have enormous difficulty providing education. we see children begging. we see children working in the fields, picking potatoes, as i've seen yesterday, 9 and 11 years old. we see young girls being forced to marry families as a way to

safeguard theirture. it's a terrible tragedy, and we need to mobilize the community, to bring children school and psycho-social support for trauma, to guarantee rights against child labor so that this generation is not a lost generation. if the syrian youth is not able to recover the country in itself will never be able to recover. >> you have spoken in the past about the generosity of countries like lebanon, jordan, who have taken in hundreds of thousands of syrian refugees. that's not been the case in other countries. western countries in particular. we've seen a lot of syrian refugees losing their lives trying to cross the sea trying to get into europe illegally. what do you say to those countries? >> well, our position is very clear. first of all, lebanon and jordan and the neighboring countries need much more financial support. they're having a dramatic impact

in their economies, in their societies, in their security. they need and they deserve a much stronger international solidarity. on the other hand we've been asking for all borders to be open. not only the boards of the neighbors, boards in europe borders in th europe, borders in the gulf. this is unacceptable to see syrians pushed back namely towards the borders in europe, or to see syrians having to submit themselves to smugglers and traffickers, and violates their rights. or to drown in the mediterranean trying to come to to europe. it's important to have open boarders and more effective policies and more possibilities of settlements.

these good example must be followed by all other countries in order to ensure that lebanon and jordan do not feel alone. that they really feel burden-sharing especially from the developed parts of the world. >> well, we share your views, and of course we hope for a speedy solution. thank you very much, indeed, for speaking with us. >> thank you. >> now three car bombs have gone off in the iraqi capitol of zag bad killing ten people. initial reports say 23 people were injured. we'll bring you more on this as information becomes available. gun then i men in egypt, sie officers were shot dead and two bombs from found near the scene deactivated. it was blamed on the muslim brotherhood. the group has denied any

involvement. bans of several sports clubs in egypt protesting against the presence of police officers at football matches. fans from seven sports clubs participated including two of the biggest team. they accuse police of excessive force, and they want them to be replaced. three al jazeera journalists have now been held for 77 days. they're accused of having links to a terrorist organization and spreading false news. al jazeera rejects all charges against their staff and continues to demand their release. abdalluh al shamy also in custody. this week court, tended his detention for another 45 days. he has already been held for six months and he has been on hunger strike since january 23rd.

still to come on al jazeera, suffocated by smog. mongolia's capitol is one of the world's most polluted. can a government scheme clean up its act? picking up the pieces. we report from south sudan where conflict has derailed children's education. also we have all the latest results with robin. >> there has been a confrontation between ukraine and russian forces on the border of crimea region. it took place on a trip of land between crimea an and russia.

tensions are running high because crimea will veto whether to split from ukraine and join rush. what more do we know about this confrontation, paul. >> reporter: well, details are slowly emerging. the initial details were a bit misleading. it initially said that russians had landed and then returned to its original position within the crimea self--autonomous region. now they're accepting that the russian troops have doing in. it if i could explain this to y, it's not a narrow strip of land but strips and islands joined by bridges, and this is a very long narrow split of land on the east

of the isthmus. the russians are there. they're not withdrawing to their original positions. as far as the ukrainian ambassador is concerned that piece of land is not within the crimean self-autonomous region, and from that point of view that makes this an invasion. >> russian troops from the south, and now we're facing new developments, and we are to face first dangerous stands of russian federation. >> you heard the u.n. ambassador the ukrainian ambassador to the

u.n. talking about fear of invasion. that was specifically in the kiev parliament here, and it manifested itself in a way that protests occurred today. a caught has ordered a ban could not take place. the protest went ahead and as a result th. the larger demonstration is planned for tomorrow to coincide with the referendum taking place in crimea. and the pro russian organizers are warning at a it will even be bigger than today. tensions are very high not the east because russians have already said there is danger faced by russian compatriots. and they'll possibly send forces

into eastern ukraine. that will be a very dangerous position, indeed. >> paul brennan in kiev. thank you. >> barnaby phillips traveled to kiev to gauge the mood. >> they don't want to live in arrussia. they just want crimea to stay ukraine. and now they're desperate. they don't want a referendum. >> because i was born in ukraine, and it's my home. i just want to live here. i don't know why i should be for having new motherland. >> would you life if this became russia again? >> yes, i would devil have to move. >> reporter: but elsewhere in simfero pol others put up

posters that say yes to russia. it's a message there's senate especially with older people. like this woman who scratch as living by helling herbs in market. >> salaries are twice as i hig. here in ukraine people are nothing. i work all day and earn $5. if i was in russia i would earn $25. >> supporters of russia came out to denounce the government in kiev. the situation in the east is now very delegate after violent confrontation in recent days which many ukrainians fear will lead to a russian invasion. in crimea the russian army is already here. this is the ukrainian military base, surrounded by well-armed russian soldiers. these are not self defense

units. they are professionals. the siege of the space carried out by these russian soldiers have gone on for some two weeks now. the real question is what's going to happen after the referendum? if the vote goes in favor of crimea joining russia, as plane expect, how long can the uneasy stand off continue? a family is given permission by the russian soldiers to go up to the gate and say hello to one of the ukrainian men trapped inside. one touching moment, and then it's time to say good buy. they don't know how this is going to end. nobody here does. crimea's fate is being decided by bigger outside forces. >> now russia has blocked united nations security council calling the ref referendum on crimea leaving ukraine as unlyle.

unlegal. only china abstained from voting. on sunday crimea will vote whether to leave ukraine and join russia. >> regarding crimea this case arose as a result of the legal vacuum rising from a constitutional coup d'etat carried out in kiev by radicals in february as well as direct threats from these said individuals stating their order across all of ukraine. >> the truth is that this resolution should not have been controversial. it was grounded in principles that provide the foundation for international stability and law. article two of the u.n. charter, prohibition on the use of force to acquire territory and respect for the sovereignty independence unity and ente integrity of

territorial states. this is something that the united states defends and all around the world. >> the u.n. headquarters in new york. and james the message there from u.su.s. ambassador seems to be russia versus the rest. >> yes, some things have become very clear. some things we knew. we knew that russia was going to veto and it's really clear that russia will veto any action at all on ukraine. but the thing we didn't know was the chinese position. were they going to back russia or were they going to abstain? they abstained which means russia does not have any other country that is supporting it. it is there alone on this particular issue. i think that other countries will feel that this gives them a bit more backing as they decide to pursue sanctions.

we certainly think there will be sanctions coming out of washington and brussels after that referendum. i think that they'll feel nor confident doing that now that they see russia is absolutely alone in the u.n. security council. of course, you're not going to get u.n. sanctions because like any other action it would be blocked by russia, which is prepared to use veto. this is the 100th time that they have use the veto since the founding of the security council and the start of the u.n. almost 70 years ago. >> any clue or indication as to how moscow might respond to angels that the e.u. is in the process of preparing? >> no, non-at all. there was only a speech from the russian ambassador. he went through the history of the situation as he sees it. the situation in ukraine and

crimea. but he didn't really say what happens next. and we would like to have asked him that question, but he left after the meeting without speaking to reporters. that is the big question. how will positive correspond to those sanctions that seem very likely now, and could there be further escalation. income. >> thank you. that's it from europe for now. back to shirley. >> it's proffering to be the most puzzling theories. the plane disappeared with 239 people on board. >> reporter: the first significant developments in the disappearance of malaysia 370 not coming from water but from satellites. after days of denying reports a

confirmation. the plane did turn west, and it was deliberate. but he stopped short calling it a hijacking. >> up until the point at which it left coverage, this movement are consistent with deliberate action by someone on the plane. >> based on that aviation authorities have put the location of the plane in one of two possible corridors, what they call high aways in the sky. one option is a northern corridor that stretches from thailand to kazakhstan. and the other is a southern route from indonesia to the southern indian ocean. in light of this they are cal calling off the search in the south china sea. they confirm that the plane flew for seven hours after the transponders turned off.

the investigation site will always intensify. with just who were the passengers on this 7 7:00 aircraft, and what is the incarcerate deck. is there anyone who would want to commandeer it, or have the skills to do it. >> the investigation into the crew and passengers on board. >> the home of the captain was searched by malaysian police just after the prime minister finished his press conference. word of the new findings and conclusions did not sit well with the chinese government which demanded that the malaysians provide more thorough indraught information. family and friends on board the flight, they want to know more. they cannot tell if the plane crashed or landed safely. >> in japan thousands of protesters are taking to the

treats in an ante new england power rally. 500,000 people gathered in tokyo. they're asking the government to start energy power. >> we have to decide if nuclear power is a good idea. >> nuclear plants in japan have been closed so you cannot say that we can't live without nuclear energy. >> the world's coldest capitol. because most people use coal and fuel for fuels also among the most beautiful tall. we have reports with efforts by the government to clean it up. mongolia is the land of internal blue sky. but it can be heavy with smog. unlike more trial places here it's not caused by factories or

power plans. the government subsidized on this new instead of to cut down on pollution. >> it is cheaper, retains more eat and is more energy efficient. >> she's only one of a thousand people who live in the districts named after the traditional mongolian tent homes. these areas are populated by migrants who can afford little else. half of the city's population now lives in these districts and the coal and wood that they use in their lives is responsible for 60% to 70% of the city's pollution. >> on a cold day the snell of burning coal is so strong here that it's difficult to breath, and the government is concerned

about long-term death and solution and is working to decree it. using the stoves its expected o create less pollution. >> where nowhere else to live, it will mean more smokestacks to ahead up their homes. >> still to come on the program three years to the day that syria agency revolution began. we'll talk to those who recently visited some of the towns that have become battlefields. and wet conditions caused plenty of headaches for the formula one. we'll find out more later in

sports. >> scared as hell... >> as american troops prepare to leave afghanistan get a first hand look at what life is really like under the taliban. >> we're going to be taken to a place, where they're going to make plans for an attack. >> the only thing i know is, that they say they're not going to withdraw. >> then, immediately after, an america tonight special edition for more inside and analysis. >> why did you decide to go... >> it's extremly important for the western audience to know why these people keep on fighting... ...it's so seldom you get that access to the other side. >> faultlines: on the front lines with the taliban then an america tonight: special edition, ♪ what is this place? where are we? this is where we bring together the fastest internet and the best in entertainment. we call it the x1 entertainment operating system. it looks like the future! we must have encountered a temporal vortex. further analytics are necessary. beam us up.

the start of a brutal security crackdown. the free syrian army was formed a few months later made up of defecting army personnel. the al nusr front began operating as well as other al-qaeda groups. a broader conflict seemed likely last september when u.s. president obama threaden to strike syria over the use of chemical weapons. that did not happen and syria agreed to give up it's chemical arsenal. two months ago they were able to sit down in the same room for talks in geneva, but that, too, led to nothing. now three years on with 140,000 lives lost and millions more displaced they show no signs to the end of the civil war.

they've become more despondent and it's become unbearable. >> as you look at the picture of some of those towns it looks like people are just living in piles of rubble. how on earth are they getting buy from day-to-day? >> there is a significant amount of aid going into the country, and it depends on what part of the country you're in of who controls it and organizations offering aid to assistance. in some cases they're able to get some food, some medical supplies. in others they're really desperate. there is a camp that i've been visiting nor few over a year. figurely that camp wad across 6,000 people and now it's 17,000 people. i theft one person in the camp, and he had child eczema.

>> there is some hope that those areas will become more able to be accessed by both journalists, aid organizations, and that people who are living in those areas, their quality of life will improve slightly. >> do you get a sense when you go back of how the tide of the war is changing? i mean at one point the rebels seem to have the upper hand at the moment. is it possible to get a feel of waywhich way the war is going? >> it does feel like the government has the upper hand in a number of places at the moment. for instance, aleppo, they're pushing on to one of the last supply lines while they're barrel bombing the city.

there is possibility that they'll come under siege. it will be interesting to see what happens now that the islamic state has pushed back to the east. those people will be out of focus on the fighting that has distracted a lot of people for quite some time. >> really interesting stuff. it's great to get your personal views of what is going on in syria. thank you very much for that. now gaza's power station has shut down because it's out of fuel. it was switched off for two months last year after another fault shortage after egypt cut off the smuggling tunnels.

hands tied behind their backs. their heads had been cut off and placed next to their legs. >> children were separated from their parents. that means that when they arrived at the carp here some of them will have to find work to earn money to look after themselves and that means they won't be able to go to school with the other children. >> many of these children have lost family and fighting and experienced terrible violence. humanitarians want all the children in the camps to go to school and play games. they said their basic needs need to be taken care first. >> we will want to reunite children with their families. in the meantime we organize foster care for them so families living in the camp can take care of the children. we're trying to tries all the unidentified children and register them and make sure that they have foster care. >> south sudan has one of the lowest rates of adult literacy in the world. largely because the previous

efforts will be made for changing the situation here. but whether this will happen i don't know. because it depends on the government in belgrade. >> many share his view and their hopes appear to rest with this man, leader of the center right progressive party and the face of the drive against corruption and decline. he offers promises to the serbians of serious changes. but disillusionment is high. some fear poverty will lead to violence. >> i think the economic sanctions in society can lead to attempt to resolve the tension on the street. any scenario is mob after. just look at neighboring

countries and protest there. people could take their problems to the streets here, too. it's the saturday day flea market here, and just looking at the sheer number of people who came here to try to sell various and sometimes worthless items that gives a clear indication of how desperate these people are. >> citizens are questioning whether these elections who bring some of so needed changes powerful al jazeera, serbia. >> you're up-to-date with all the news from europe. >> thank you very much for that. still to come on al jazeera. robin will be here to bring you up to speed.
