a year helicopters struck several villages in what appears to be a major advance to take over the city but this violates a truce that was brokered by russia and the united states in africa to bring an end to the seven year war the rebels who are losing ground remain defiant. we don't recognize assad's authority he has destroyed our cities and killed our people he destroyed syria to stay in power we will never recognize him and we reject the presence of the reigning in afghan militias only syrians who should decide the future of the country. the syrian army is massing troops in the area the opposition says thousands of shiite militias are also moving in dar was the focal point of the syrian uprising in two thousand and eleven

different factions and and in november into the it's year that's the essence of some elements that i still describe what we might think of that absence in by week something years and so that's you know that's something to think about it's basically because of how close that happened to the president this wouldn't be and i didn't any citizen who doesn't know a lot of of this breach of nations around the president so that's something to think about but these also opportunists really taking a happens especially in a situation where you've just had a cool we have a lot of people that may just be taking advantage of the situation and mike wants to see the election i do destructive. all those polls open in less than three hours for turkey's landmark elections the winner will assume

so families seeking asylum that cross into the u.s. illegally are still apprehended the families are just kept together and sent to homeland security detention centers like this one where they all been face criminal prosecution it's a crisis on multiple fronts with little sign of any change. it's even though the top administration has said that they're not separating families anymore they haven't and the policy that is actually at the root cause of the search of asylum seekers from central america has actually eased up since its peak in two thousand and fourteen yet the u.s. navy has been asked to build more detention centers on military bases the intent is to keep families together but also in custody which also keeps trump's hardline zero tolerance policy alive gabriel's. last fresno's texas i mean a french teenager who accidentally crossed from canada into the u.s.

a working lunch with new spanish prime minister pedro sanchez in paris it's the spanish leader's first official trip abroad since taking office three weeks ago but a meeting comes before an emergency summit between sixteen leaders on sunday to address recent tensions over migration policies street views of the. u.s. about the system of sanction mechanisms which could be implemented in cases of non solidarity it's a debate we will have within a framework of financial possibilities i am for myself in favor of having mechanisms that indeed take this into account we can't have countries that massively benefit from the solidarity of the european union and that massively voice their national selfishness when it comes to migrant issues and has more from paris. well the main message from these two leaders in paris was that the european union simply has to have a coordinated strategy when it comes to migration it has to be united now the french president emmanuel macro praised the new socialist prime minister pedro

scientists from spain saying that he had showed a gesture of solidarity when he decided to open up their doors in spain to the aquarius migrants and refugees those who were rescued by that charity ship or blocked by italy macross said it was indeed an important gesture but the migration cannot be solved in that way on a case to case basis what is needed is a much wider plan now both pedro sanchez and about all michael will be at a mini migration summit in brussels on sunday and this meeting in paris was really an opportunity for these two leaders to get to know each other the first time they met and also discussed some of the strategies which may be talked about at the summit on sunday and later in the week at the main summit there is no doubt they are on the same page or they believe new solutions must be found they also both pro e.u. young dynamic leaders who really want more e.u.

integration and what that means for them is that there must be solutions found to the migration crisis because they see the divisions that it is causing and they worry that that could threaten the future of the european union the future of the bloc in fact a model mark or even said that we could see a wave of populism and nationalism unless something is done or many of the refugees and migrants trying to make their way across the continent are losing hope largely reports now from the greece macedonia border where people have traveled from turkey found themselves at a dead end. dogs live better than this stinking piles of rubbish the air thick with mosquitoes they're mostly afghans and they know full well the not even germany will take them in nowadays their war has been deemed less important than a syrian woman so they're stuck people going to stay here but the system is too slow i.e. trying to move rules even to move no one to stay here do you hear but there's no

camp that i can avoid this day there because of all this one year some have lived in a half built car park nearly a year so cornered mohammed had arrived the day we turned up he thinks he would like to risk the crossing through albania which thousands have already tried this year but how to afford it you have money for this or not i have one month in one year or even now one europe yes. as venice if you want in person just ahead no one money is the northern pass to greece from turkey over the wide have ross river the route revealed by al-jazeera several months ago that is causing this new humanitarian crisis everyone we spoke to would come this way and the total lack of hope in greece is forcing them to consider any routes out if you have any money you can get a bus from thessaloniki to a port and try your luck on a boat to italy but most don't have the luxury of this option until

a couple of years ago it or many was full of tents and journalists before the so-called balkan routes was closed by macedonia the media's all gone now but we'd been told dozens were still attempting this route every day and so it proved through we found them of a shepherd's track in a forest right on the border all of them pakistanis many of them teenagers where do you go do you know. macedonia serbia and to germany this was. trying to do what hundreds of thousands managed a few years ago but europe isn't the same anymore according to the united nations there are now getting on for ten thousand more refugees and migrants in greece than the were when this border was basically a refugee camp two or three years ago and frankly these people have got absolutely no chance of getting asylum in any western european country if anything germany's

likely to tell greece to take more and more people back these places become a complete trap and surprisingly the new waves of refugees coinciding with the new hostile european environments make local officials nervous either making it less bigoted then there are many happens because they wanted to fulfill their dreams and go to europe things that were done traps that. were afraid of but we hope there will never again be an informal camp of refugees and migrants. for the refugees living rough in greece there is not even water let alone hope they may as well pray because no country in europe will help them now largely al-jazeera not increase our form of vatican diplomat has been sentenced to five years in prison for possessing and distributing child pornography monsignor carlo capella admitted to viewing the images in what he said was a time fragility. tribunals convicted capella after
