distance. 18 people drowned out of those two boats, and, in fact, today at the moment the turkish coast guard, differs and helicopter are still out looking for bodies. but that is not dissuading syrians who are gathering along the coastline in the major cities along the coast, to make the sailing over to europe, the greek islands further into europe. that particular one, the father has survived and is treated in hospital. they are from the syrian city, which we heard a lot about left year, where the fighters propels an attack. how have people been responding manufacture how is turkey

joined from the bekaa valley in lebanon. what is the situation? >> we are at one of hundreds of makeshi makeshift camps scattered around the valley, where there's hundreds of thousands of children, aside from palestinian refugees. they have been here for decades, and do not have an education. there is a child here that i want to speak to. you can tell me, how old are you? >> i am 12 years old. in syria. did you go to school? >> yes. >> here in lebanon, do you have a school you go to? >> no. >> reporter: what do you want to be when you groi up? >> doctor. >> reporter: why do you want to be a doctor? this is a 12-year-old who told me he spoke english, he went to

school in syria. >> i arrived him the last question, what he wants to be, he said a doctor, i said "why?", he said if his mother or father gets ill, he want to treat them. it's not only the education that is a problem. basic services. when you look around at the places, there's not proper sanitation, there's no clinics, and it's something that is it setting the foundations for a lost generation. it's no wonder that some here feel there's more chance sending themselves or their children across the seas despite the hundreds that drown in them. in meself places the services that are here are minimal. >> thank you al jazeera has been leaked a draft copy of a plan to find a peaceful solution to the syrian conflict. the roadmap has been put

together by the u.n. envoy, calling for a start in negotiations. without at ceasefire, but from bye in from outline parties. the aim is to reach a permanent ceasefire later. proposing to do two phases. the first giving the government a partial role, allowing president bashar al-assad to exercise functions, and a longer transitional phase leading up to general elections under u.n. supervision. a governing body runs the country. a researcher at the university of london says the professional plan gives no guarantees, and the priority is providing humanitarian aid. >> the plan has a framework that has been presented. it does not have a mechanism that shows you how it could be workable. if the regime will stay in

place, what guarantees are there that it will not kill civilians in syria. it presents nothing along the lines, the same thing providing to the provision of humanitarian aid. it does not present a mechanism. and the regime is free to choose whatever representative it likes in the new transitional government. and that opens the door for the regime. who have the rules on the ground. this is not in the from of anyone fighting against the regime in syria. >> the international community should get together and talk about a plan that is actually workable. in the immediate future, i think that should happen is increased humanitarian assistance in syria. when it comes to the political solution, the plan is not implementable. the solution is right in saying

there's not a solution. they'll work to make sure is happens. it goes against the geneva in the first place. >> i.s.i.l. attacks a mosque, killing 28 people. a suicide attack in the prayer hall was followed by a car bomb. the second explosion killing paramedics that helped. the mosque is controlled by houthi rebels following a form of shia muslim. >> rape and sexual slavery during the war. former rebel leader bosco forced girls as young as 12 to have sex with soldiers. he went by the nickname, the terminator, pleading not guilty to the charges, including murder, rape and recruitment of child soldiers. barnaby phillips joins us from

hague. what else was heard? >> harrowing testimony, even if it was coming second hand from lawyers for the witnesses, not the witnesses yet, at this early stage of the trial. for example, we heard the accounts of sexual slavery that you were talking about, and we heard horrible accounts of people forced to dig their own graves and then being buried alive in those graves as relatives watched. a little later we heard from the defense lawyers for the first time as they tri and outline their strategy, casting doubt on the var at identify of witness accounts. dating back 12 years, and trying to put in context what was happening in eastern congo, saying that the e.u. pc. the mission in bosco and uganda was not specifically motivated by ethnic rivalry, if you like.

it was not merely a prohoma militia seeking to kill people from different ethnic groups and other tribes in the area. let me bring in my guest. she's from the international federation for human rights. cary, are you confident that the trial - it's a big test for the i.c.c. do you think the trial will be conducted in a satisfactory way, and justice will be done? >> we certainly do hope so. particularly for the victims waiting, as you said, for over 12 years for justice in this case. there are concerns about witness tampering and threats to victims and witnesses, as that has occurred in other cases before the international criminal courts. we urge the participants and parties to ensure the protection of those participating. it is fortunate to hear that the prosecutor has now begun implementing her policy on

sexual and gender based crimes. this is the first time we are seeing charges confirmed and brought for what you were talking about. truly harrowing accounts of sexual violence, sexual slavery, repeated rain of civilians within the community, and girl child soldiers, within the militia i know one debate has been whether the trial would have been more effective, more useful if it was actually taking place in the eastern congo, in eritrea province where the crimes were committed, rather than in northern europe on the other side of the world. what is your feeling about that? >> certainly i think many human rights organizations were enthusiastic about holding hearings in eastern congo. as the dates became closer, there were a lot of reports from the human rights organizations that they work with in the region, as well as other victims in the community, that the

security situation could potentially not allow for a safe hearing. we hope that in the future there may be an country for other hearings at a stable moment. >> i'm afraid we have to leave it there. stay with us later in the afternoon. we hope to hear from bosco mims later in the day at the i.c.c. . >> now, in ghana, women accused of witchcraft face abuse and threats to their lives. hundreds have been forced out of their community into camps. now they are teaming up to stop the women being astra sized. we have this story >> this settlement is known as cuckoo camp, a safe haven a safe haven for women accused of being witches. for this woman, she has been here for three years. today her daughter came to visit. she says she left her home after she was blamed for her niece falling sick. >> and the crowd attacked me. i was sad.

they came with sticks and other things, and the intention was to kill me. the chief stepped in to kill me, the chief stepped in to say i should not be killed this is one of the minority of women accepted back into a regular community. she is living with her brother and his family after 20 years of being in a camp. >> being home with my family helped me. now that i am with my brother, if i am sick, he's there to see it. if i have problems, he is there. i'm happy here. >> the government is working to reintegrate more women into the communities, he's wound down one camp. there's five left. . >> because it's culture, it has been difficult to do away with it. what we do is use it as a means, working with commmunity and

civil society, and particularly working with the traditional leaders, to get them to appreciate and understand that it is totally wrong. it's a human rights violation. >> some of the camps have been around for more than 100 years. the idea that a woman can be a witch is deeply engrained. any woman can be accused, but it's often those that can't have children, elderly or outspoken. the government's plan is to grose the camps. or transfer them into regular communities. this person is afraid of returning home because the trauma that she went through. like all the women, she wants to be accepted. there are three trillion trees on earth, 7 times more than scientists thought there were. a research team from yale used evidence and satellite data finding that 15 billion are cut

down every year, and 5 billion are counted. the man that lead the counting is from yale university school of forestry and says that earth has lost half of its trees. >> we suggested that we have a lot more trees than the previous estimate sud. that's not to suggest that we found new trees or carbon, it means that we used newer techniques and information to provide a more robust estimate. the scale of the effects was very much surprising to us, and we upped found the scale of the human impact is spraying. we are losing between 10-15 billion trees each year. at the counter rates ference -- forests will be depleted at a fast rate. now that we have this understanding, people are - conservation organizations and

practitioners set targets and meaningful goals, and they have to step up the efforts to stop the damaging impacts of humans around the world. we were surprised to find thought the course of human civilisation the number of trees that have fallen were 50%. it's a huge reduction. we didn't expect to find anything, anywhere near that. ♪ a kentucky clerk heads to court this morning facing charges of contempt and her beliefs trump anyone's right to get married and votes for the iran nuclear deal as republicans move up to timetable to try and reject it and president obama wraps up his trip to alaska with another call for action on climate change but it could be over shadowed by the state's dependence on oil
