6:09 pm
battle towards rocket that is a city that was the de facto capital of iceland is now under these kurdish fighters control and turkey has long been seen that as an impediment to its better ties with the united states as this issue kept cropping up over and over again and the united states had insisted that it needed these fight is to try and defeat ice and now that they have it is now going to stop sending them you've also asked the foreign ministry questions about there was agreement or do it at least a discussion about taking back these weapons from these groups which to he calls terrorists but so far there has been no confirmation of that from either the turkish or the american side but this is also in the backdrop of strengthening relations between turkey and russia that you saw the turkish president in russia just a couple of days ago and in an address yesterday he said that in sochi before syria he seems hope and a future that is on the how does this withdrawal of ohms fit into the current
6:10 pm
context on the ground. this is part of the white a picture in syria where not just united states and turkey but other actors including iran and its neighboring hezbollah fighters from lebanon are at play also including iraqi militias which are also backed by iran so there is a lot of fighting that is going on the ground in syria despite the the escalation. all that has been wrecked by the russians inside syria the syrian government going after targets in the lead and in hama province where people have been telling us about the great difficulties that they've been facing in the sixty is of the war and specially doctors every telling us that there is a systematic approach towards fighting and they are been targeting hospitals and all they can do to save lives is now dick tunnels under mountains. summers on the operating table because his leg was injured in an airstrike but this
6:11 pm
is norton area operation theater it's hidden underground so it can survive air raids here with hospitals i'm afraid when the regime targets a hospital i lost a member of my family in an airstrike. it's known as the cave hospital in northern syria doctors are keeping its location secret for fear of further attacks by government jets. they showed us photos after some of the hundred thirty five yr strikes targeted their hospital medical facilities and medical workers nowadays are far from being working in an ideal situation they're suffering all sorts of challenges one of the main challenges has to do with witnessing not only has been ongoing for a long time but at the same time he doesn't. doesn't stop. this is what remains of many hospitals above ground. it took months of digging five hundred square meters in the mountains to convert into frequent room workers then plaster the wall the
6:12 pm
bags at the entrance increased security. this is the doctor who began the project he was also killed in an airstrike last year and his colleagues continue to face challenges. the biggest problem is the airstrikes which target civilians this hospital is theoretically safe but we expect anything from the government and it's destructive weapons making the hospital safe is just one of the many challenges most hospitals in opposition areas suffer from a lack of medicine and other vital supplies to emergency exits in case of any attack being underground brings the constant challenge of maintaining the floor so doctors and patients don't suffocate. we face difficulties such as ventilation and shortages of medical supplies after securing ourselves in a cave inside a mountain because serious health care system has been largely destroyed by six years of war preventive care units and health centers are non existent. potentially
6:13 pm
fatal diseases are common because of a lack of vaccine. so make that gives you a glimpse of what is the situation inside syria dr singh they have had to employ a medieval technique to try and save themselves and their patients and we spoke to doctors about them not agreeing to give details and coordinates about there are no cations to the united states and russia because they're afraid that they don't have the gallon can that if they provide these details to the warring sides that they will not be targeted as ahmed thanks very much indeed his own reporting there from thank you now then we want to highlight an important sixteen day campaign being launched by the united nations is designed to bring awareness and hopefully of course an end to violence against women french president manuel macro's says it's one of his priorities but critics according on his government to do more to tackle sexual violence is in the french capital. with this demonstration in past eleven
6:14 pm
public and paris is an annual event but there is much more attention this time around because in recent months women have started to speak out after the harvey weinstein affair and similar scandals but also seven hundred thousand people have signed petitions in front calling on the government to take the problem of gender based violence much more seriously now on saturday president emanuel might call in a speech said that it was the number one priority of his term in office and he explained exactly why he felt so strongly about the issue listen to mom the feeling of horror and of shame resulting from the situation i must say has taken specific importance since a little more than a year ago because it is shame that we talk about when one is at the same time a man and a public decider i cannot consider that when we're talking about today is something that is a boring banal and acceptable when the president did outline some of the practical
6:15 pm
measures he hopes will be introduced as early as next year one of the will be a new offense basically of street harassment something which is very common here and which people complain the police are not ready to deal with and he says that that could be punishable straight away with on the score points but many of the people on this demonstration have said they're fairly skeptical about how much the government can actually get done. each year for example we denounce sexual harassment abortion and sexism. yes but i see. we not. he's he's not obliged to acts we're clearly here in front awareness of the problem is rising but people are now asking will the government put its money where its mouth is and really start tackling a problem that affects every part of society. not in baba reporting that when i
6:16 pm
spoke with. who's a un's at women's executive director and i started by asking how widespread the problem is. we are talking about one out of three women. having experienced violence at some point in their lifetime. and we say this is under-reporting in the fact that most of it happens at home. and that is where we cannot say we know what happens in every home if you children who are usually molested by family members. and able to speak for themselves so we're talking about well over a million women who if you like say are walking wounded because of just living in silent. just as you say but also in the workplace.
6:17 pm
and so in their workplace and in the conflict zone cyber bullying trafficking child marriage honor killing. we are calling this really a public health crisis how do you tackle such an enormous problems as well in many cases it's just embedded in the culture of violence against women. is a reflection of the underlying power relations and gender inequality in communities in nations so addressing gender inequality itself is an important intervention addressing masculinity negatively masculinity which expresses itself through violence and control is important as well we are also working now with men with boys many no authority young men ordinary men in society to address issues of
6:18 pm
culture and behavior change so that you can begin to create a society where. men do not think it is ok to abuse women where women also do not feel that it is their feet that they will be treated as second class citizens by their partners because the majority of women who experience violence they experience it in the hands of an intimate partner so in better so close you need to make sure that once a woman is in a relationship that is not a permission for a mentor to the woman anyhow finally to what degree has the the outing of personalities like harvey weinstein helped you. well the fact that high profile men are being sanctioned hopefully will begin to signal that this behavior is unacceptable it will detail other perpetrators the fact
6:19 pm
that also one men is able to lead so many women. we are hoping also will show society how prevalent is this behavior is and how also no place is safe workplace is not safe churches as you know are not safe institutions like us as united nations are not safe this happens everywhere so we all have to be vigilant. this is such an important story that you can imagine the traffic that has been online that with me the conversation will we have a very multilingual conversation going on mainly across europe but some of the top hashtags in france today are violence against women and don't ignore it now historically the u.n. set aside the twenty fifth of november to honor four sisters who were assassinated
6:20 pm
on this day in one nine hundred sixty for speaking out against their government and the dominican republic just three of the four were actually assassinated for modern women know this day is still relevant as we've heard especially in france the french institute for demographic studies says about five hundred and eighty thousand women are victims of sexual violence every single year we've been speaking to many of you in france and paris actually about what needs to happen to stop this . people in this are in their lives. i'm participating to defend the place of women in executive tiers the place of women in politics to encourage representation of women participation in politics and to break the glass ceiling so i think that what we have to do in france is to wake up women from as not be stressed with the courage to come out to say we all want to be proud of what we are and men's must fight with them and we have to go with the politics of politics in this reactor's of. you know most fair we live in an environment where the word of men weighs more
6:21 pm
than of women we live with fear of being verbally assaulted and if we denounce abuses we receive threats we might lose our job so we need to be more than twenty four hours we need to debate this all day long. we are unable to have men and women at the same level especially when it comes to salary i think we need to do more on issues like assault and sexually related violence we need to put an end to. un women the group behind this campaign post and one of the most popular videos being shared online they're also using the hash tag to draw a line along with the tagline because it's not just a woman's issue. because it's never just a simple as leaving him for the one in three girls his first sexual experience is right for every woman who has no voice i draw a line because it's two thousand and seventy because it's not just
6:22 pm
a woman see issue i draw a line to stop people pretending there's nothing going on so women won't have to fan out online harassment for the two hundred million around the world you have undergone female genital mutilation i drew a line because every woman's body is her right every woman who has said. i drew a line for all the women in our industry who are being brave enough to speak up i drew a line because we will not be signing. amnesty international posted this photo in french comparing how we view sexual abuse similarly to how we see an iceberg there's visible abuse like insults and violence but much of sexual assault is invisible like making sexual jokes feeling humiliated or making someone feel devalued if you're one of the millions tweeting about this today be sure to also use the hash tag nic thanks very much and they would have a lot of comments coming through to us here at facebook people women talking of

6:38 pm
treated and live as second class citizens got hotter al-jazeera aka me and my. well we're going to take this on here on the news grid for all the thomas reese is a jesuit priest he was a former senior analyst for the national catholic reporter he's usually based in d.c. with the washington d.c. that is but he joins us from right now in the bahamas father reese welcome to the program clearly as we saw in that piece the christians need help in may and you have written that the pope should not get involved in the crisis he should not wish that somebody had told him in fact out of making this trip why is that. well i think that this is going to be one of the most challenging trips that the pope has taken the treatment of the growing of muslims by the military has been classified as f. act as ethnic cleansing by the united nations and as you know the pope's heart is with refugees he he has
6:39 pm
a very strong concern about the plight of refugees around the world and he has spoken out in support of their own anger but the christians in miramar are concerned that if he speaks out too strongly too loudly while he is in marin mar that there could be a backlash from the buddhist population from the radical monks that are leading the persecution against both muslims and christians and marron mark so there is this delicate balance if he if he doesn't speak out then you know is what happened to his prophetic voice on the other hand if he does speak out and that christians in marin mar suffer this would also be tragic so he's in an impossible situation yet he is but i do degrees of his i make is that he has elected to go on this trip and presumably he doesn't take any trip lightly he will
6:40 pm
know the difficulties ahead with his conversations with incense hoochie in the military command and what does he hope to achieve by having these meetings and if he's not going to talk with a range of problems as you say with any discredit. well i think that what he hopes to do is to be a voice for reconciliation to be a voice to show that christians and muslims and buddhists can live together in peace he said you know he wants to be a bridge builder between people and to encourage reconciliation and to be a force for this kind of. reaching out and to sew and to show the buddhist that you know the christians are not a threat that the their who are hanging are not a threat to. to the majority society but this is going to be very difficult this is going to be a real challenge a lot of people following this story on facebook and we have a comment from jay he said what he shouldn't mention ranger that he shouldn't
6:41 pm
mention the catholics that he shouldn't mention ranger in the story catholics all muslim of is that this is a humanitarian crisis in the catholic church is trying not to get involved in a political issue what would make you think the catholic would that catholics would want any say in a genocide that has nothing to do with them what do you make of that. well this pope has spoken out in support of their own hand from the vatican he has spoken out for credit for not christians that are suffering in an all different parts of the world he believes that this is a moral issue it's not just he's not just concerned about christians who are being persecuted he's concerned about any person who is being persecuted he believes that people should be able to follow their conscience that there should be freedom of worship freedom of believe that people should be able to practice whatever faith they want to if they want to change their faith ok if they want to
6:42 pm
stay in the faith that they are ok fine but you know people should be able to follow their own conscience follow where they believe god is is calling them and this is this applies to everybody not just to christians father reese a great to get your perspective on this we appreciate your time thanks very much indeed for the thomas reese speaking to us from the bombs going to be with you was plenty more perspective on the amount situation of course on the web site answer that comb inside story on the deal of course to allow ringette home asking the question is it safe for them to go home just go to how does it all come in and can find it by the show's time. movie it was a shameful and painful part of kind of his history and now the prime minister justin trudeau has apologized for it for decades thousands of indigenous children were taken from their homelands and you found in labrador and forced to have
