a techie syria border. the start of joint patrols between the u.s. and turkish military is are being seen as a positive step this because both the americans on the charts were unable to see eye to eye as to how to operate within syria over the past year or even longer than turkey has always insisted that it needed to establish some sort of safe zone up until up to maybe 30 kilometers inside syria essentially to ensure that there was a safe space for displaced syrians but more importantly flying corps as it's have. often said was in order to ensure that it could target what they described as terrorist organizations namely groups like isis but also kurdish separatists who have used that area to launch attacks against turkey inside its own borders now these patrols are still extremely limited they're only in the 1st few
6:09 pm
kilometers within the syrian side of the charkhi syria border as i mentioned turkey wants to go much deeper up through even the you afraid eastern side of the euphrates river inside syria the americans have resisted that's what's made things even more complicated is the fact that washington has it given tactical support and to according to some reports even military support to some of these kurdish groups that's turkey considers to be terrorist organizations and that was one of the points of contention but as of sunday the fact that these joint patrols have started comes off the. reputed threats by the president of tabor to run on the turkish government that if turkey is not allowed to establish the safe only to have no choice but to open the borders and allow for you for more syrian refugees to flee the bombardment that continues to target civilian areas inside syria. a

6:22 pm
hello and welcome again to rewind i'm elizabeth purana here on the wall and we're drawing on a decade of award winning documentaries and finding out how the story has moved on since today be revisiting a moving series which followed doctors working against the odds in the south african township of soweto and once home to nelson mandela so what who was at the forefront of the country's anti-apartheid struggle back in the 1970 s. hundreds died when student protests were put down with tear gas and live ammunition yet more than 25 years after the end of apartheid so what over maine's a dangerous and disadvantaged place at chris hani but i've been at hospital one of the largest in the world and known locally as bada maybe 70 percent of all admissions are emergencies many of them gunshot wounds about as ophthalmology department the st john i hospital treats around 50000 patients every year many of
6:23 pm
them victims of domestic violence bullet wounds and car hijackings back into. 1009 al jazeera aired a series of films on the work of god as medical teams and today were chosen to focus on those eye doctors facing a severe workload with insufficient responses here a saving so what seeing the light. so went to a south africa's most populous township and home to millions of eyes. and john's iconic as part of a massive chris tiny paragon of hospital also known as baron and is the biggest eye hospital in the southern hemisphere. many of sweaters poor and indigent utilize the services on offer. we serve a huge population here are the greatest separators probably at least 2 and a half 1000000 we don't know the exact numbers and we know it is they are hospital we've been here since 1955 and be part of bearer and we have
6:24 pm
a good reputation we have a lot of social violence motor vehicle accidents and it is then also gunshot injuries that come to us in our main function was to do catch a surgery here we are overwhelmed on a daily basis by all the trauma that we get there. and dr rob daniel is a few weeks away from completing his 5 year residency at some johns and he will be moving into private practice and i think that. this is the screening clinic the function of which is to filter out to needs to be seen today. and really to pick up the most burgeoning problems and really to treat. small problems that can be sorted out in a short period of time. the use. on a typical day rob can see between 2 men and 300 patients. per stress and so i mean this is africa there's always shortage equipment is always
6:25 pm
a problem. mode. of us have our own equipment just to get 3. diabetics we check the same day because if there's any problem then we want to be able to just pick it up right away or you've got a date for today you can go to the main clinic you've got to follow the structure just come from a clinic and people with trauma will see them the said and we organize a card for them and then there's a scene in the manga and they don the bottom shift up says. patients are referred from the screening room to the main clinic they can wait most of the day in the queue. to be day we talk to patients that come and see a c o m e people the beaches or something at the station was. just. this. is the test.
6:26 pm
i repeat patient 43 year old polish led into the clinic by his friend pulls blindness was caused by untreated diabetes his wife couldn't accompany him as she is the family's only breadwinner she supports pulled in their 4 children leave to go to court also his rights are so retreating that essentially trying to make him comfortable it's another to move the pirates out without trying to get a new visual improvement in a serious car. but unfortunately taken a turn for the worse story called stuck to him and connor a senior doctor to get a 2nd opinion on polls cases and it's a big book solutions and other leads coming out good going to 6 i just noticed it's a blind eye anyway so we have to look at someone with. the knowledge the eyes of. god is going to become very bad. so let's say the best option for you refuse to
6:27 pm
have an operation where we would remove the eye. ok i understand. ready my doctors have to have reasonable eyesight you can do a commodity if you've got poor vision because whatever we do we're using a license to see the pathology in the eye to make the diagnosis we see more and more of diabetes now can cause blindness in a variety of ways trix earlier in diabetic patients they do get demi stew their blood vessels. sometimes they develop new blood vessels which could over the back of which believe they can get him because. that's what that's the more obvious he said new blood vessels growing in abnormal blood vessels which were leaking and bleeding and this ways had a huge bleed and that bleed created a cloud that you couldn't see through that's why he had the surgery done yesterday
6:28 pm
. we have to draw that it tonight's the next time this patient comes if somebody else easy middle is he knows what we've seen at the last because it would be ok for you to read a book and you feel good. when. we deal with people in terms of their life the vision is the must and it's a sense which you have to not have that is so debilitating how all the old laws of . the old how old are the. long time. looking new ones are broken will you go back to old losses obviously they're not going to be set up for the new lens that we put inside you are so that could well be the reason. why it's not seeing well in the distance but at least we look for a reason on the phone. for more money. rudnick
6:29 pm

6:30 pm
a very personal basis which is fundamentally based on trust the comfort which a patient feels by caring for them that's what gives us a lot of a job satisfaction. but that's a. another day there but. yeah i mean for some doctors it's another day seeing patients on the benches while for hemant it's a pediatric clinic which brings its own particular challenges. was wrong. good for you. can suck it they don't like to be touched so you're going to try to guess they when they awaken with a playful the same streets. that it's always going to be patient with their in the
6:31 pm
very youngest kids who use things like hundreds of thousands just to get an estimate of what their visions last. year. was set you see that. right. there. i mean really can see me. 80 percent of all sin city put comes from your eyes and also the way you view the world perceive the world comes from my eyes basically i mean these are kids that i clearly know some of them you can do something about someone in your country and a good developmental problems you know where you are walking along the route it's you that follows the boy probably has a neurological disorder it follows he will be referred to a barrel full for the tests like no you know i show you the small streets he doesn't to gun see there you know see if you can see large objects pretty gutsy the smaller ones you know. guys
6:32 pm
a lot of the bigger than almost anything babies got some sort of a symbol you know. today's pull surgery dory will be removing his eyes and inserting. silicone ball into the empty socket to stop the pain that also in his blind eye was causing him. sorry for something so very sorry this is painful because of his blindness paul has never seen his young son he has. my love my mom or my son the last one i do. i don't know you so what 10 miles i'm going to hear and. i'm getting in my ear whether more i'm looking for a. camera doing what's called the restoration. basically or move the corner and put in
6:33 pm
a silicone ball to have some volume to the orbit they closed. on the ice block 3 opted to go to the very final solution and to reverse russian right now i'm just cutting rather content. to work with the things we think. i like your place in the world you've given us the exposed to some of the conditions. so that's. where we've put the silicon wall in and out and now we're just going to close up we're going to close the sclera in the country when we're done. really well there are a lot of problems like complications to the success of this russian. i should be filing polish it should go out tomorrow she.
6:34 pm
lose. the doctors at st johns i actually volunteer their free time to operate on a few of the fountains awaiting cash back surgery. called the mercy list this gives sign in one eye to those who are completely blind. rumors are on the board. in. the tower while. it's ok. the mostly list patients are fortunate to jump the 2 year waiting list and miss the dish just a little we do all of them under local anaesthetic so none of the patients are going to be really asleep reject them with the local anaesthetic injection every go . you'll see that start going away in ok slowly slowly.
6:35 pm
this simple procedure will change their lives restoring their vision and independence in only 20 minutes. if we want to try to give a perfect operation you're going to try to perfect it's there because if you get into their private life the next step and if you. go to a catholic would be relatively. evelyn's in your eyes normally clear. as you get all of it becomes a pacifier. and this was a quote here. and. we're just remove the we are naturally in which other category that reversal is going to replace the patients naturally because if you don't put a linsey of a person going a very strong glasses for focus properly. this landscape is in the court of. your case off of the notion of anything you do know any pain. finish operation when
6:36 pm
a very nice. letter or. work or rob is about to perform his last cataract surgery at st john's before completing his 5 year training at barrow his last patient is a paraplegic he's hoping to make her life easier with one. this disability. by an open wound and egged on glee had a lot to continue to carry around to see look at it all made me love to see it in all the big books and. video and it was. the incidence of cataracts is extremely high no matter where you go it's the bread and butter of any off form of as you practice because it's the most common program . it's actually the most successful operation that we have in modern made some that means that the results are good it's one of the reasons i did offer some of.
6:37 pm
you wouldn't most of the song. i want to vacuum $200.00 pieces of from other diseases is probably one of the foster areas of growth and medicines just unbelievable i mean a year ago i was telling president there's nothing i can do for you for this or that condition and today i can offer them the treatments just you know a psych saw to. move into private practice will allow him to keep up with the latest technologically concerts which barack terminal is off to. the doctors who operated on 8 mostly just patients come and finishes with the last patient of the day. i enjoy working i enjoy doing new procedures if i can. what gives me excited he's getting sidetracked so that's a real big deal. and the other thing is this is also an academic exercise so.
6:38 pm

6:50 pm
a deadly attack in kabul last week and the afghan president has appeared to welcome the move the truck tweeted late saturday unbeknownst to almost everyone the major taliban leaders and separately the president ever afghanistan were going to secretly meet with me at camp david on sunday on fortunately in order to build false leverage they admitted to an attack in kabul that killed one of our great great soldiers and 11 other people i immediately called off peace negotiations for the taliban claimed responsibility for thursday's suicide bomb attack saying a foreign military convoy was charged in the blast destroyed cars and shops not far from the u.s. embassy and the headquarters of afghanistan's international military force there's been no letup in attacks despite taliban and u.s. negotiators reporting progress in months of talks hosted by qatar tony burley has more from the afghan capital. privately i think the afghan government is please that these talks of being canceled but officially they are franking the americans
6:51 pm
for their efforts in these peace negotiations and they've stressed at the only way to getting and meaning for peace in afghanistan is through nonviolence they want the taliban to stop fighting they want to cease fire something that has never been agree between the americans and the taliban and they want to hold direct talks with the taliban this is something the taliban is always refused they call the afghan government to puppet of the americans and their refused to talk to them of course with this draft peace agreement if it was side it would then lead to direct talks in some form with the afghan government but there are concerns our the afghan government wants an and need to the what to the fighting it once then meaningful talks to go ahead and the big question is where does this now leave us the taliban we understand a having high level meetings of their own they can go 2 ways they can either say yes hang on the americans a serious let's go back to the negotiating table with something more to offer because so far they've kid seeded very little or it can lead to an escalation of
6:52 pm
the conflict everyone here has been concerned at the pace of these peace negotiations it had 9 meetings in a year quite an achievement getting them around the table in the 1st place but the americans how being excepting to little from the taliban that's the overriding opinion so they want more from the taliban before we were get a meaningful peace but there is still here now an edge to this city people are concerned or the attacks which of increased in the recent days and weeks may increase even further well let's look now at how the united states entered into those negotiations with the taliban they had repeatedly refused to talk with the afghan government viewing our shuffle administration as illegitimate taliban leaders had long demanded direct talks with the u.s. and last year those calls were answered with both sides meeting and qatar's capital doha negotiations centered around 4 key areas a complete withdrawal of foreign forces dialogue with the afghan government and a ceasefire the us wanted a guarantee that afghanistan would not be used as
6:53 pm
a launching pad for attacks on other countries and after 9 rounds of talks the u.s. and now to this month an agreement had been reached in principle for him at daschle is a political analyst and a former editor of kabul weekly joins us live now from there so 1st of all what do you make of president trump's abrupt decision is this. the right thing for for the peace negotiations at this particular point in time. oh yes when and when negotiations are going go on when 2 sides are talking about a possible freeze and from the other side the violence level is easing the way the entire live on are targeting. being civilian or military forces as well as the foreigners again being military or civilian so there has to be
6:54 pm
the think about the talks because the aim of the talks is to stop the violence and to have the peace but if this does not reach by the talks so there has to be another way to shoot. and the afghan government has given their reaction to trump's decision saying that. we can't talk to no one can talk to the taliban while they are launching these attacks so they have to see something tangible from them does this put the pressure back on the taliban now. oh are they afghan government was not happy with the way that. it was running the negotiation with taliban from the beginning they were mentioning that the an end date is over a location but now soon as president has made the new decision so there is a ground for the afghan government to raise its wise. i think
6:55 pm
tyler one will feel themselves under pressure is they were they were giving lots of ground and advantages in the last. almost a year by a by by you is which was not. acceptable for afghans afghans were always complaining about the way that the u.s. war promoting taliban and giving ground for them to be you can eyes in the international level in a very high and creative with me i think now do they really feel themselves under pressure are there legitimate questions as well about the structure of the whole taliban leadership about whether the negotiators in these talks that were taking place in doha were actually speaking for. the taliban commanders in afghanistan whether whether there was any whether there was any sort of a disconnect there. oh this is this is a big question in the mind of fun and it's
6:56 pm
a big concern for for for our on because they are negotiating in sitting in qatar they are negotiating peace but the violence and war fighting is losing the very day there is a question if if they have enough authority to stop their soldiers and ground to stop violence in the accepted peace now now now they have to prove that good to speak with you get to get your perspective on all of this fame vashti's in kabul thanks for being with us. now another british government minister has quit the cabinet of prime minister boris johnson over his brags it strategy amber rudd who was the work and pensions secretary says she no longer believes the object of his government is to get a deal she had voted to stay in the european union during the break that referendum 3 years ago rudd told the b.b.c.
6:57 pm
she resigned because too much of the government's planning is going into a no deal breaks it i have not seen another what going into actually trying to get a deal when earlier in the week i asked number 10 for a summary of what the planning was for actually getting a deal i was sent a one page summary so it's the combination of the fact that there's not enough work going into actually getting a deal which is i think is not what the prime minister signed up to try to do and secondly the expulsion of 21 of my colleagues who are good moderate conservatives well in her resignation letter rudd described the sacking of 21 m.p.'s earlier this week as an assault on decency and democracy one of them was the grandson of so winston churchill ever lead to questions about johnson's leadership largely has that. london's parliament square is graced with a statue of britain's most famous politician and the ghost of winston churchill his legacy and beliefs have very much been on people's minds in this extraordinary
6:58 pm
contradictory week. when parliament resumes prime minister boris johnson himself a biographer of churchill invoked the language and even the intonation of the wartime leader to suggest that the u.k. was somehow in a conflict with the european union he used the very same words about the e.u. that churchill had done about nazi germany in 1944 you never surrender that sort of language comes from the playbook of johnson's new chief of staff dominic cummings a brick sit idealogue behind the slogan take back control and cummings many believe was also behind the brutal treatment of those conservatives who could not accept johnson's agenda contrary to the prime minister's assertion one of those was to nicholas soames a conservative grandy summarily sacks with 20 others for refusing to support johnson's do or die approach to leaving the european union but his speech after being told he was no longer welcome in johnson's conservative party was
6:59 pm
extraordinary not least because johnson had sacked the grandson of winston churchill where they were together in 1954. i'm truly very sad that it should end in this way only does my most fervent hope that this house will rediscover the spirit of compromise humility and understand that will enable us to finally to push ahead with the vital work in the interests of the whole country sitting in front of sames was another conservative rebel richard benyon who was also sacked the next day he told me of his concerns about the direction the party he loved was being taken in the attitude of some of the people. who were around the prime minister not. cummings especially yes and you know i think they have a big responsibility for the size of the rebellion last night and some of the things that were said to colleagues of mine more extraordinary. the generally held view is
7:00 pm
that the johnson administration is now so terrified of nigel farage as breck's it party that despises the european union but it will no longer brook any dissent it was faraj who status in british politics forced the bracks referendum in the 1st place and now it seems he is driving the conservative party to adopt his views. consequently today's conservative party finds itself at war with the european union and with itself its legacy and relationship with its most famous son the irony isn't lost on anyone that after the 2nd world war churchill gave all of his most famous speeches in which he called for the creation of a united states of europe and working together economically and socially for the greater good that phrase united states of europe is used by brick sitters including those inside the johnson ministration as the biggest insult of all.
