10:07 pm
distrust here. emma hayward, al jazeera. a federal judge has blocked a indiana governor, mike pence, indiana is more than two dozen states that have tried to stop the obama administration from resettling syrian refugees in the u.s. most of those states have republican governors. joining us now is annie sparrow, a physician and global health activist who have worked with rfqs along the syrian border. let's start with greece and macedonia, it is the zed of winter and we are still seeing 8,000 arrive every day. you have these refugees stuck at the macedonia border, hundreds of families living out on the streets in athens and pireas. greece can't handle this itself.
10:08 pm
>> it's hideous, 50%, at least 40, to 50% are women and children we see them tear gassed. this is more response to a zombie apocalypse. >> greece can't handle this all by itself. >> of course. we need to open the borders. balkan states are closed. people are trying the get through to their families and then they can actually look for themselves. they should admit them directly instead of this horrendous boat journey. >> should people just not get on the boats, that they circulate figure out some way to have them come over land? >> there are three things happening, the things that are creating the refugees in the first place, the atrocities in afghanistan and iraq, afghan
10:09 pm
refugees, we know there's a huge violence in afghanistan and the territory gained by the taliban. let's mitigate the situation in syria. >> give them safe passage into eastern europe? >> they are violating their obligation under refugee law. >> the reality is it is not just the balkan countries and austria who last week imposed tougher controls, a lot of the canada they'vian countries and germany who has admita lot of people have started to tighten what they were going to do. >> and to have a geographical advantage, you have to get there to actually apply. to set up screening places in
10:10 pm
turkey and lebanon, they would be directly able to travel to those european countries. 1300 in hungary? that's not ver very many. canada has settled 25,000. >> you have seen the nationalistic backlash, throughout europe at there point. are you not afraid that if the numbers keep growing that's going to become worse? >> in terms ever europe's total population, one or 2 million people in turkey, that is 1% of turkey's total population. that is not even .1% of europe's whole population. it is a small number to be resettleacross the whole of europe. >> what do you think some countries are doing make the distinction between who is a refugee and who is not? people from syria and iraq are going to get asylum while people
10:11 pm
from afghanistan who they look at as economic migrants are not? >> purely spurious reasoning. totally speak in terms of the afghan refugees they shouldn't be rejecting them especially as it's incompatible with the reality. we know there's growing violence in afghanistan. we know the atrocities in syria. the fact that over a thousand leave every day up to 2,000, i saw them myself when i was there a few weeks ago, i gave them a lift in my own car. there are so many there, there is a reality, people are leaving, they can't stay when their homes schools and hospitals are being targeted. no one can stay. >> it is also terrible in calais where the french officials decided to tear down the shanty town area, near the tunnel
10:12 pm
between england and france. shouldn't the french be able to take them out of the terrible area and relocate them to someplace that's better? >> relocation is fine but not under violent conditions. tear gas is illegal when you use it in war time but we're seeing it being used for crowd control and the quite inappropriate circumstances. the tear gas is responsible for the homes being set on fire. there are children in there, very vulnerable. >> what happens if the united kingdom decides not to take them in? >> they already have family there, going there for good reason. all we're doing is trying to sort of build the walls higher. while flog changes from the point of violence in which people are fleeing, people are not going to go back to syria, conversely, the majority of them will go back home as soon as it is safe to do so, we know from history. we know none of these deterrents
10:13 pm
work and all we're doing is break international laws in terms of obligations to refugees. and we're trying to dehumanize them and make life as miserable as possible and ignoring the fact that these are people too, will and children and men trying to be safe. >> it's terrible, seeing these pictures those are the ones that have made it safely into europe and so many are dying, annie sparrow, always good to have jury insights. thank you. the u.n. claims the cessation of hostilities agreement is largely holding. secretary-general ban ki-moon and special envoy staffan de mistura, ban said, the u.n. was looking into them and hoping they can be contained. the u.n. is trying to take advantage of the pause in the fighting to deliver aid to starving syrians. however some say the number of reports of the violations of the truce is growing.
10:14 pm
al jazeera's omar al saleh is in turkey, says the violence in syria has gotten increasingly worse since saturday. >> reporter: and it's getting worse since the day 1 of the truce. day 1 was largely holding, day 2 was better. there was worse than day 1 and so forth. my own account and our own account for the last three days of the truce including today, there have been about 60, or even more than 60, violations. and this is based on the reports we're getting from all of the sides, from the opposition from the russians and also from the syrian government. when you compare all of that to the levels of violence prior to the truce, i.t. has dramatically decreased. so that's why probably you have -- you hear from u.n. secretary-general ban ki-moon saying the truce in syria is largely holding. but what's worrying is the
10:15 pm
syrian member of the syrian opposition is warning if these violations continue then the entire truce process of this cessation of hostilities agreement could really collapse. >> omar al saleh reporting from southern turkey tonight. secretary of state john kerry tonight said aid should be reaching people in besieged areas much faster but he accused the assad regime of obstructing the process and said that syrian officials are using items meant for those in need. >> our hope is that they will also stop their people, their troops, and their officials, who get in the way or who manage these shipments, from actually putting their hands into the shipments and taking out medicine. or taking out other preferred items, simply to keep for themselves. that's not the purpose of this.
10:16 pm
>> kerry also called on russia and iran to use their influence to convince assad to do the right thing. more violence in iraq. the death toll has risen to 38 in an attack outside baghdad, where an i.s.i.l. suicide bomber struck a up funeral. a prominent shia militia leader is among the dead. 58 others were injured and i.s.i.l. has claimed responsibility for a double bombing on sunday in sadr city. more than 100 remain hospitalized. the u.s. has issued a warning of the possible collapse of the mosul dam, be ready to leave on a moment's notice, could leave mosul under 70 feet of water. baghdad downstream would also see significant flooding. iraqi prime minister abadi said the odds of the dam breaking are
10:17 pm
very small. how zika virus is affecting a highly catholic country, venezuela. that japanese people call "wa." at the other side of history, fukushima's heroes were not enough. people have lost their trust, especially in the authorities. the myth of nuclear energy, of it being economic, safe and clean has been swept away.

and the grenadines with its no travel list. abortion debate in brazil, mothers may not have a baby with the birth defects throirchgd lio zika. al jazeera's marga ortigas reports from brasilia in tonight's "in context" segment. >> lourdes has just been told that her baby has microcephaly. it's a condition that's affecting newborns in northeastern brazil, where the zika virus is widespread. >> translator: it is very hard to take care of a child like this. my other children were perfect, they weren't born with any problems. >> reporter: even if it were known earlier, mothers such as
10:21 pm
lourdes don't have the option to terminate their pregnancy. under brazilian law abortion is only allowed in portions of rape, or the child is missing a portion of its brain. one woman dies every two days from botched back alley procedures. a group will be petitioning the supreme court to grant women more access to information, in regard to maternal health. it's the abortion for all part of the petition that has upset many in this deeply catholic country. brazil is the most populace catholic country in the world and christian teachings are a very much part of everyday life. even coming is dominated by be
10:22 pm
be evangelicals. abortion is unacceptable. >> it really is selection part of human life is having life with difficult, with their movement thought or social behavior. ssociety has great difficulty accepting people with limitations. >> a different social reality that brazil doesn't want to deal with. >> the situation is not new, has been aggravated, has to do with women's rights, has to do with social disruption for children and their caretakers, we have to be able to talk about all of them together. >> many here don't feel there's.of talking being done. now the health budget has been cut. lourdes says she wouldn't have
10:23 pm
chosen an abortion even if it was legal. marga ortigas, al jazeera, brazil. eileen always good to see you. >> good to see you antonio. >> you are asking women to avoid pregnancy. without doing that they are not giving the needed information or access to contraceptives, it seems you put that all together and you've got a perfect storm. >> yeah, it's a difficult situation because it's an infectious disease problem, it's a medical problem, it's a developmental problem. it's a psychological problem. it's an incredibly stressful set of circumstances. it's a social problem and there's moral dilemmas involved. >> one of the top brazilian
10:24 pm
bishops is arguing that the government is using zika to press abortion. it's unlikely they will relax the abortion laws. >> perhaps the bishop should have a conversation with pope francis, because he has weighed in on this. >> he believes contraceptives would morally acceptable to are combat zika. to the people who are suffering from this which are mostly poor people. >> yeah, this is a very difficult situation. and you know various differently religions do have clauses for emergency circumstances, that will cease applying when an emergency is over. jewish laws are that way that you can break certain laws, to
10:25 pm
save a life. the popes in the past i forget whether it was john xxiii or paul vi, there was problems of rapes going on with the nuns at that time. these things are temporary measures that are taken in extreme circumstances, and if the church can bend the laws then certainly legal institutions need to understand that under certain kinds of circumstances, you have to have informed ways in which you can properly do things. and you have to know exactly what you're talking about. because without the right information, then illegal abortions can happen, unnecessary deaths of perfectly healthy babies can happen. we don't want anything like that to occur. we need information, clear and consistent. and in terms of the zika problem
10:26 pm
specifically and specifically with this question of contraception and so forth, i know how hard it is for a young girl to have any control of when she does or doesn't get pregnant especially in an impoverished situation, something important to understand is in nations where zika has existed for much longer periods of time, such as in africa we're not seeing these kinds of problems. we're not sure we're not but perhaps it is because -- >> are you convinced of the connection between zika and microcephaly? >> i think evidence is very, very strong. what i want to make clear is that the timing of an infection makes a huge difference into the results, we know rubella can cause microcephaly. if you had rubella when you were very, very young way young before you ever get pregnant
10:27 pm
your risks are none for having a microcephalic child. the odds are you are completely immune and no problem will happen to the child. so timing is also an important thing that has to be taken into consideration. >> that's a story i'm sure we'll keep covering, eileen marti, always a pleasure to speak to you. >> my pleasure. >> the pentagon is taking discharge of the fight against i.s.i.l, the idea to disrupt its propaganda machine. and reemerging on chinese television with admissions of guilt.
