>> reporter: this isn't the first time ban ki-moon has made statements calling for urgent action to alleviate the suffering of syrian refugees. unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of syrians continue to live in the most dire of situations. many of these children were born here. this is all they know about the world and while these international conferences continue to take place their lives haven't improved, in fact they keep getting worse. makia is blinded in one eye. the widowed mother of two girls, she has been living here for two years. she thought it would be only a few months before she would be ability to return to her home in damascus. >> translator: aid from the u.n. has stopped. the children's situation makes you cry. there are children here who aren't even ten years old and they're working to help their parents. >> reporter: this war has

that are syrian. >> this is in the last five years. >> this is where on the same day that the u.s. has withdrawn people from turkey, you know like -- diplomatic staff, i get a message saying it's no longer safe for you to travel, i'm still going to travel, but you can't go to greece, gees can't give you a -- greece can't give you a hearing. it's not safe because they've been forced back, not safe because turkey doesn't even adhere fully to the refugee convention because it interpreted that only to apply to europeans. so syrians, iraqis, afghanis, 40% of the refugee flow, afghan,

20%, iraqis 20%, no protection. at all. and half of the whole refugees are children. when you think what that means to them they are in a very vulnerable position. >> and the eu reached an agreement with turkey, to send back those who hadn't a proper registration process in greece, and they would stay back one for one, and that would stop people from trying to travel oversee and endanger their lives, do you think that would be successful? >> absolutely, it could only be successful if the european union agreed to take in 10% or so. what the has agreed to do -- u.s. has agreed to do is take in 10,000, i'm underwheme underwh t

number to say the least. >> the number the europeans were willing to accept is not enough, the number coming to greece is much greater than that. >> yes. it's -- even if -- we saw what happened with -- we've got all these refugees at the macedonian border, the greek border with macedonia, they have been stuck there a long time and once europe reached this agreement to send them back to turkey in exchange for others, doctors without borders were among organization he that grade to pull out from those camps in protest of the european deal. do you think that's a good idea? >> it's really hard to know, antonio, it is right to protest because europe can't pretend

that turkey is safe for these reasons. it doesn't offer refugee protection, any protection at all. at least for syrians it does offer discretionary protection because it does have almost 3 million refugees. if we had the same amount here relatively we would be having almost 30 million refugees here which puts the 10,000 in perspective doesn't it? >> which is even worse when you think of what lebanon and jordan have, it would be more than tens of millions. relatively speaking. are you concerned that the attacks on brussels is going to make the larder for europe to take more refugees? we are hearing them say forget it we're not taking more. >> it's like paris, the people responsible for that attack are not syrians. yet they can be blamed very successfully, assad keeps

calling them syrians. they are still leaving, assad has not demonstrated any commitment to peace, he's still bombing people, kids in schools, three people died yesterday in land mine explosion which is hideous. 20 people have died around madaya, let alone the rest of the country. tens of thousands if not hundreds are still incarcerated. .1.1 million who are still besieged gln still besieged. >> let's not forget that if we are talking about the $3 billion band-aid, the root cause is the crisis that is still escalating and not getting any better. >> it does seem like these are band aids trying to treat knife wounds with band aids. it is a terrible situation. we are always grateful for you to come in and enlighten us about it. thank you.

summit has done is broken a taboo against sharing information on nuclear security. as part of the summit process, countries were encouraged to make specific national pledges referred to as house gifts and then report on progress towards completing these action he at the next summit. to this began tso this began toe accountability. >> the u.s. has helped other governments get rid of 1600 kilograms of highly enriched uranium between 2009 and 2014. the countries involved include vietnam, hungary, mexico and ukraine. its other than auditors say the u.s. has fallen short on its efforts to improve physical security at u.s. military securities. also of concern preventing the development of so-called dirty bombs. >> there are still too many bad

actors in search of these dangerous materials and these dangerous materials are still vulnerable in too many places. it would not take much just a handful or so of these materials to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people and that's not an exaggeration. that is reality we face. >> there is also a problem of whether the next u.s. president will keep the spirit of the nsf alive. some nuclear experts worry the summit won't survive. >> the fine line to walk between wanting to continue the political momentum generated by head of state level participation, but also, worrying about the fatigue of leaders participating in these summits. >> reporter: the mark of success will be how well the nss endures into the future. be rio drosiland jordan, are al,

china and which could potentially mean a takeover of the north by south korea which is a u.s. ally and potentially extending the u.s. influence. >> not only in the korean peninsula that china fears an expanding u.s. presence. it is here in the south china sea, where china last become more aggressive in recent years in asserting what it sees as its territory. several other nations also lay claim to parts of the south china sea. the u.s. says it's neutral in the dispute but some of its action he including sailing a warship into the area have angered china. >> president expiep xi jinping e nationalist leader and risk tolerant, he has visions of china becoming a regional if not global power. >> and that power will affect the relationship with the united states. the united states is already a super-power. china wants to become one.

joshua walker, he's now a nonresident transatlantic fellow with the german marshall fund. joshua, good to have you. let's begin with the elephant in the room. conspicuousliability is an official meeting with president obama. despite the relations that exist with turkey why a snub to a nato ally? >> as you have pointed out, only one leader can walk into washington and say they got what they wanted and that is the president of china. from the turkish point of view it is a snub. but the fact that they are having a formal conversation with vice president biden who was also in turkey recently, this is seen as the white house answer way of smoothing the pain. but certainly it could seem to be a snub and more for turkey than u.s. >> one thing about erdogan he

has become increasingly authoritarian. wouldn't it be better for president obama to visit with him directly? >> it would have been good from a personal point of view. remember that president obama made turkey one of his first visits overseas and the pluz anm majority country. it does give you pause, it does seem the u.s. would focus on the relationship given the situation in the world. >> until the iraq war which coincided with erdogan becoming prime minister is erdogan the problem? >> you know there are a lot of people who say that, particularly in this town and particularly in the western media it's been personalized and everything that's wrong with turkey is seen about being about erdogan and whatever erdogan represents about turkey, he has won every election he has ever

run in, it is hard to see where the problem is and where the problem isn't. the press freedom and the questions of what's going on in domestic process, turkey is going through a major change, three elections last year and the potent wound with the kurds in the southeast. >> in a big event erdogan said the turks cannot win in the middle east without united states, and the last thing united states would want is a destabilized turkey. >> i agree with you. stability is the number one issue. if you are hosting over 3 million refugees this is not the time to try to prove a point. i think clearly having a conversation on the sidelines of the nuclear security summit reassuring turkey of being able

to support its nato ally, not only in the fight against pkk but, towards the eu and cypress, there are so many areas that we should be agreeing on right now i don't disagree with what you just asked. >> not doing enough to stop spread of terrorism, the brussels bomber who had been deported from turkey, he doesn't seem inclined to make friends and influence people. >> if you study turkish politics it is basically on the offense all the time. erdogan is a former soccer player and always going for the goal. in western politics in america we're not seeing that in this election cycle either you have to understand that this is the way of turkish politics. compromise is weakness. there is a lot of blame to go on both sides.

turkish politics is on the be emergency, prime minister davutoglu is playing a much larger role in that relationship. >> thank you for your insights in that part of the world. thank you for having me as always. >> iran's top leader now says missiles are key to his future. supreme leader ayatollah khamenei has called for iran to avoid further negotiations with the united states. his latest comments offer some support to iran's hard liners who have been widely criticized for the recent ballistic missile tests. russia is now saying iran's are missile tests early in the year did not are violate the
