ceasefire. and. >> leonardo dicaprio. >> he finally wins an oscar. starbucks announces plans to move into its most challenging market yet: at&t. >> and i'm farrahis farrahist b. farrahist e-mail. farrah ismael. later on in sports. >> mast zonian police have fired tear gas to disperse hundreds of refugees and mieg rajts who migo stormed border with greece, cutting the number of people reaching northern europe. fences have already been put up in these places to try ostem the flow arriving from turkey but

austria's recent decision to limit the number that it lets in every day has sparked a domino effect right through balkans. these countries are also allowing only a certain number to enter their borders each day and that threatens to turn greece into a huge refugee camp. at least 22,000 have been stranded in that place in the last week. on the border with macedonia where we saw those scuffles a little earlier. hoda abdel hamid is there for us earlier. hoda what is the situation there now? >> reporter: things have settledown and certainly the tension that we saw earlier in the day has called down. it is nighttime. a lot of families are in their tents. some people are queuing at the various food points to get a hot meal if they can. the amount of people makes it they wait for quite a time for that.

but you also see along the road, coming here towards this camp, more and more people marching. the situation is certainly calmer. have that still emotional anxiety among the refugees everybody asking all the time when is this border going to open? is the border going to open? and certainly they are worried that maybe they don't have the -- the required documents to continue through the balkan routes, a stark contrast to the tension that was here earlier in the day. impatient and exhausted. they first march towards the railway gate along the water. demanding once again to be let through. but soon things got out of scroll. some refugees managed to tear down part of the fence. others hurl stones at macedonian forces on the odor side of the

fence. they responded with tear gas. but rumor had spread around the camp that the border had opened. hundreds of refugees ran towards the fence. this woman and her children were sitting around the tent when the rumor reached them. >> translator: like everyone else we ran towards the gate. people shouting, open the borders. i couldn't see further up but then they fired tears. tear gas. there is no need for violence, we have to be patient and slowly, slowly, everyone will get in. >> reporter: but it was in vain, macedonian forces had pushed everyone back and brought the situation under control. it was a disaster in the make, some have been stranded here,

for over ten days. the concern over refugees is overwhelming, emotions are running high. amin and her family arrived a day ago. they walked for hours to reach here after greek authorities stopped busing refugees to the border to control the evergrowing bottleneck. >> there is no feeling. there is no humanity in the group, finished. >> like many others, she wonders what will happen next. some of the protesting rfqs are still refusing to move back from the fence. >> all the people they ask not, they said that there are no set backs we won't step back we want to be here, without food, without water wp we don'. we don't need anything just to open the borders. >> reporter: but most refugees return to their tents, even more worried that europe will tighten

its frontiers even further. well i guess one of the main issues for refugees is to know when the border will open. and also most of them seem to think that macedonia is the problem. they are getting very little information because they are here and they don't understand really the domino effect that has gone down the balkan route ever since austria has taken its decision. now a lot of people are making their way to here, in domeni as we speak simply because they are hearing rumors that maybe the borders will close permanently and they want to be here sooner rather than later. this is obviously causing a lot of problems on the ground. we saw earlier the tensions that flared up. that could happen easily again with the amount of anxiety in the air. joining me to talk about all this is a representative of doctors without borders. also known as msf.

jemma, we saw pretty dramatic incidents firing up. be greek police firing into be macedonian territory. how bad was it really? >> for us it was bad. in addition to people protesting, there are families including children, waiting at the border to cross legitimately, we treated 22 people in total, for respiratory problems and sickness directly as a result of the tear gas including nine children. some people were even brought to our clinic unconscience becausee they had inhaled so much of it. >> an estimated 7,000, today an estimated 8,000 but actually nobody really knows how many people. do you have an estimate at least of how many children and women are here? >> no. but if we can base the on the

average arrivals that arrived here in greece in february, 52% are women and children and 40% of people here at least are children. >> okay and i see very long queues for food but i also see people going around asking for tents, for milk foyer their children. do you have enough resources to deal with this in this ever growing number? >> i think it's important to note that this camp is meant to house around 2,000 people, and now it's 8,000 people. we have on a normal day enough food water shelter et cetera. but people keep arriving, we keep bringing more tents, more blankets, it constantly feels like it's not enough because people keep coming. the crossing is so slow at the border, each night 300 people have only crossed each evening so it is not anything that can be easted at this station of

idomeni. >> asking you if you have any information, are what are the restrictions at the border? >> for me it's as much a crisis of information and humanitarian issue. they don't understand what the new restrictions are, they don't understand what documents they need. as well lots of these syrians and iraqis were here a week ago when the restrictions were put in place for afghanis. at any point they could wake up and say syrians and iraqis have be restrictions either. there is a desperation to get over before the border permanently close, which is the rumor that is going around in the camp. i'm sure you've heard it as well, i'm sure you have seen the conditions. being here for ten or 12 days can't be nice. >> as she was saying, people

have been here ten or 12 days and they don't know how long it will take. if you do the simple math there are an estimate8,000 already here. many more make their way because we do know that greek authorities have tried to take them to reception centers in various areas of northern greece but they don't want to stay there. once there the bus drops them, they immediately start walking towards this area. if only 300 go through per day that would mean that it would take at least two months for the 8,000 who are already here to cross. so certainly a huge challenge for the greek authorities. >> it is indeed, hoda abdel hamid, hoda, thank you. and to follow along from what hoda has been saying, greece says it's unable to handle the increasing crisis. from athens, mohammad adow reports. >> still they keep coming, 1800

refugees arrived on monday morning. there is no one to welcome them. no one to stop them, either. >> translator: we face a lot of difficulties on the ways here. now that we are here, we want to cross to macedonia. but we don't know how to do that. >> the port's passenger terminal is now a temporary shelter for refugees. most of them are from syria, iraq and afghanistan. everyone here has the same objective to get out of greece as fast as they possibly can. not much leaving over the mast zonian border. greek officials say they want to ease the life there. travel north to other countries in europe. these area are from the sinjar area of northern iraq. a member of the is yazidi minority, beheadbodies and mass

graves. >> translator: our homes in sinjar have been destroyed. our friends, sons and daughters were slaughtered pnl mass terrorists now sit in our homes. >> capital including victoria square has been turned into a temporary refugee camp. most are from afghanistan. they are no longer permitted to cross the border. >> translator: countries they are not allowed to cross borders. they are feeling sad and kind of hopeless. >> reporter: for now these victims of war and failed governments wait. their struggle to find new place to call home is paused they say but not over. every day they remain in greece they stay beyond a welcome they never had. mohammad adow, al jazeera,

athens. >> the french authorities have started dismantling part of the camp used in calais by hundreds of refugees and migrants. opposing the demolition of the camp which is known as the jungle. several tents were set alight by anarchists. they have been moved to nearby shipping containers. anltand 93 syrian refugees have arrived in rome, hopefully the scheme can be a model for other nations to copy. coming up in this newshour, why a symbolic funeral was held in gaza for a palestinian man who died in suspicious circumstances in bulgaria, how the zika virus has opened the abortion debate in deeply catholic brazil.

and a long tie away from this goal. but first, a suicide bomber has blown himself up in iraq. in the even province of diallah. the iraqis said they had recaptured this area so away do you think of the attack northbound diyalla? >> just liberated from the islamic state a month ago.

the message is clear, yes we are behind that we are coming back and are not defeeted at all yet. >> almost in the background that things had gotten a little bit quieter in iraq when it comes to islamic state. is this the end you think? >> from the be liberation of ramadi, from the islamic state, it seems the islamic state is under tremendous military pressure and trying to react, saying we're still alive and kick again, so they choose disiediyalla, in particular, inr to kill four leaders, tribal leaders of the city, to say that we are going to take revenge. >> i guess looking especially at the target which is the funeral hall, it does raise questions considering the people that were present about security, to keep -- if they can keep this funeral place.

>> and the prime minister and the pressure from police department from muqtada al-sadr, a religious leader, he asked his supporters who are millions to demonstrate in baghdad against the corruption of the government against actually the abilities of the government to face terrorism, to root out troorm tm to defeat islamic. so i believe the military sit down for the abadi government will add a lot of pressure to its co-existence to other sunni groups in the north of iraq. the other important things, this actual attack, suicidal astack coincide with the preparation to liberate mosul from the islamic state. it seems the iraqi government is

not capable of mobilizing the sunni groups to take back from the islamic state. it is raising a lot of question marks about the real efforts i mean the efficiency of the iraqi army to first counter terrorism, second, to actually kick out the islamic state from mosul and other cities in iraq. >> be editor in chief of el rayun, thank you very much for joining us. >> welcome. >> warning people living downstream from the mosul dam to be ready to evacuate. there is a worry of collapse, with no warning, killing 1.5 iraqis living along the tigris river. mosul is under the control much i.s.i.l. but the dam was recaptured by iraqi informs in

august 2014. a u.n. aid convoy has reached one of several besieged towns in syria. dozens of trucks have arrived near the syrian capital, the u.n. is trying to reach 154,000 syrians in five days during the partial truce brokered by the u.s. and russia which came into force on saturday. well despite the pause in fighting the government is reported to have taken territory east of dplasks and ai damascuss in homs and idlib. saying they have attacked several rebel held area held a. in a letter to ban ki-moon, opposition says make knowledge

unaccountable. urgent meeting. >> translator: we have received indications that attacks including baier have been continuing against zones controlled by moderate opposition. all this needs to be verified. france has demanded that the task force charged with overseeing the cessation of hostilities meet without delay. >> al jazeera's omar al saleh joins us. many blaming the other for violation of the ceasefire. is there spill one holding-stile holding? >> my own account an hour-on

account each day of the truce including today, there have been about 60 or even more than 60 violations. and this is based on the reports we are getting from all the sides from the opposition from the russians and also from the syrian government. when you compare all of that barbara to the levels of violence prior to the truce, it has dramatically decreased. so that's why probably you hear from the u.n. security general -- u.n. secretary-general ban ki-moon saying the truce in syria is largely holding. but what's worrying, barbara, a senior member of the syrians opposition is warning that if these violations continue then the entire truce processing or the cessation of hostility disagreement could really collapse. >> and of course, while it's been holding though it last been useful in trying to get aid to the thousands of people that desperately need it.

how successful has it been, and how much longer does it have to last before significant aid to be delivered? >> well, as far as the u.n. is concerned, they want to deliver aid during the cessation of hostility. this agreement and even after it, because they say they have -- they need to deliver aid to a lot of big number of people. today, the u.n. managed to send or deliver about 52 trucks loaded with different food items and other aid to the area of moabmaia, and prior to the truce when it started. i remember on the 24th. however, the u.n. also is expecting or waiting for the approval from the syrian side of about 40 requests going to a number of areas.

and they describe these areas as the hardest hit and they are besieged areas. what's interesting also barbara is there is an area called darea and that area has been under siege for years now according to activists, and sits right near moabamia. to get access to one or the other i think is a number of reasons, depending on first getting approval from the syrian government. second, getting approval or trying to secure a safe pass to areas who are under control of the rebel groups. >> mohammed al saleh, omar, thank you. a symbolic funeral has been held in gaza for a palestinian man who died in be suspicious circumstances in bulgaria on friday. prosecutors are investigating whether he was pushed or whether

he fell from a high floor. bernard smith reports. >> reporter: in gaza a funeral without a body, staged by members of the markist popular front for the liberation of palestine. it is for omar al naef, whoen died at the bulgarian embassy on friday. he was jailed for his part in the murder of an ultraorthodox student. his widow are convinced that israeli security has finally caught up with her husband. >> translator: they told him that although he was inside the embassy they can't protect him. they were urging him to go and leave the embassy. >> reporter: al naef had been hiding in the embassy after bulgarian authorities tried to detain him following an

extradition request from israel. security staff came to the mission saying a bomb had been planted and checked the building including where el naef stayed. >> translator: israel is responsible for what happened. the palestine jan embassy is responsible for not protecting him. the embassy didn't do anything to relieve the pressure on omar. >> omar al na efertionf' naef'sd in the bulgarian embassy backyard. israel's foreign ministry says it's looking into what happened. al naef's home is in the occupied west bank. blaming the palestinian authorities for not taking care of omar. mikbe mahmoud abbasmahmoud abbak

the same family. joyce is far from an isolated case. in the maternity ward, this woman was in desperate need ever blood but her family wouldn't donate. >> they some are fearing screeningfearingscreening, theye known all right? their bloou blood status. some feel if the blood is taken from them they may develop diseases and all this. >> until cultural attitudes around donating blood change giving birth in south sudan will continue to be a great risk. >> still to come this hour. >> i never should have allowed myself -- >> a teeferl apology fro tearfur stealing a poster.

>> welcome back, here's a reminder of the top stories on al jazeera. macedonian police have fired tear gas and stun grenades, at migrants because of unrest in the balkan states. syria's cessation of hostilities continue to emerge, telling the u.n. that further breaches would make new talks unattainable. and u.n. aid workers with food and medical supplies are trying to reach 154,000 syrians in besieged towns in five days. now some syrian refugees living in jordan are given chance to work legally.$2 billion plan to fund work permits for syrians to

deter them from trying to get to europe. but as jane arraf reports from aman, there are still some serious obstacles. >> mohammed is in damascus. worked in the ice cream business since he was 14. when fighting started and syria's most famous chain of ice cream parlors came to jordan, ie came to jordan too. jordanians would drive to damascus for the day just for ice cream. the chain is opening two more branches in oman. under jordanian law there is a limit how many syrians they can hire. >> translator: we've had a lot of problems with labor inspectors, they come and take workers away if they do not have permits. that's why we make sure we do everything legally. >> reporter: under the deal with jordan, they are to make

available 200,000 more work permits over the next few years. the donors would pay most of the costs. 100,000 syrians are believed to be working in jordan, 40% of them in construction. without work permits they have no legal protection. they work longer hours than jordanians. addressing those issues, it could help thousands of syrians to support themselves in jordan without leaving for europe. permits mostly in construction and low skilled sectors, meant to be accompanied by an important change to the jordanian regulations. right now only syrians who enter the country through official border crossings are allowed to work in jordan. that means most refugees are not eligible. the proposed amendment would lift those restrictions. the professionals would still be out of luck.

>> doctors engineers dentists and others, it is close sectors here in jordan, syrians cannot work in those sectors because owner jordanians are supposed to work in those sectors. so this is why you can see those who emigrate to europe are from this middle class. >> reporter: if this deal with foreign donors goes through, better educated refugees are likely to continue to look to europe for opportunities as the war in their home country drags on. javier, al jazeera, a aman. >> be traumatized feeling their child may be born with birth defects, there is an option to

terminate their pregnancy but the lat situation is unachievable for those deeply catholic. marga ortigas has the report. >> this child was born with an unusually small head. zika virus is very widespread. >> it is very hard to take care of a child like this. my other children were perfect, not born with any problems. >> reporter: even if it had been known earlier, women known as lourdes do not have the option to terminate their pregnancy. under brazilian law abortion is only permitted in terms of rape, when the mother i's life is at risk, or when the child is

missing most of its brain. the institute of bioethics a women's rights groups will be petitioning the supreme court not just to make abortion available to all women but also to grant women more information to deal with reproductive health. the group wants better social policies to support children and those who care for them. it is abortion for all part of the petition that has upsaid many in this deeply catholic country. brazil is the most populace catholic country in the world and christian teachings are very much a part of everyday life. even evangelicals say the fears around zika are being exploited. abortion is unacceptable. >> translator: it really is selection. part of human life is having people with difficulties, be it with their movements, their thought or social behavior. society seems to have great difficulty accepting people with limitations.

>> reporter: for women's rights groups this debate isn't about zika or abortion but a telecommunications of a difficult social reality that brazil doesn't want to deal with. >> the situation is not new, has been aggravated. it has to do with inequality, it has to did with women's rights, it has to do with social production for disabled children and their care tears, there are stayers.-- caretakers. we have to deal with all of it. >> reporter: many people feel there's not talking that has been done. lourdes says she wouldn't have chosen to had an abortion even if it was legal. what she would like is more support and a solution to deeper social issues that can no longer lie dor mantle. lie dormant. marga ortigas, al jazeera.

essentially two fold. this is an incredibly contentious piece, something the opposition is entirety opposed to congress ininto legislation in this country and secondly the speaker of the facial assembly y has decided it's been languishing for too long, and it's time to bring it to a vote. the reason the national intelligence thinks it should come forward, the recent north korean rocket test, and the opposition, el nusra al qaeda, and it would allow phones tapped and bank records accessed by the government. and so the opposition says it's simply going to talk this out until the end of the current session on march the 10th, if the government if the rule party

needed immediately. >> the governor of west timor has asked for help. also welcomed international associations to assist if the situation worsens. they only can hope help will arrive soon. step vaessen, al jazeera, west timor. the coffee chain starbucks taking its multinational coffee brand to italy. starbucks has 23,000 cafes in 67 different countries but has stayed out of the italian market. plans to open its first coffee house in milan next year. for more on this let's speak to a man no knows all about italians and their coffee. francisco, creacte famous for hs

strong in italy. but the new generation is more ready for that. the new generation, they travel a lot. so they already know frappuccino. they already know my personal experience about filtered coffee, black coffee. some years ago in italy, the filtered coffee was considered like dirty water. right now in my store we serve filtered coffee every day to many customers. so i think coffee is so beautiful product, we should discover in every different kind of beverage. >> what's interesting is that starbucks actually got its idea many years ago after having been to italy. so they saw the bars there where coffees were served and then got the idea for starbucks. a little bit funny that they have kind of gone full circle. >> yeah, i think they will close the circle. so it's very interesting thing. and i'm sure the problem that

suffered starbucks for many years is the price of coffee in italy. because the price of italy of coffee is very low. it's like a rule, we have to sell the coffee one -- >> oh no, we've lost the skype! oh -- >> not more. >> oh unfortunately we're going to have to leave it there such a change, frances coe, italian many chf. champion. i was going to ask him, finance four euros will be overcome the issue, thank you mr. sanopo. trump has refused to publicly denounce a well-known white supremacist who appeared to endorse his candidacy.
