phone conversations between turkish officials president was up they spoke with vladimir putin of russia spoke with president us present trump other officials try to reach out to different dignitaries world leaders to try to rally international support for turkey turkey says that it's intervention in turkey was solely for the need to and the humanitarian catastrophe and to stop the syrian government from driving almost 4000000 refugees to cross into into turkey on the ground situation is fast moving there's been such an escalation in live province and many attacks by government troops targeting opposition strongholds in some of those areas you have the turkish military establishing military post so the potential for any of those attacks to target the turkish army once again is almost there raising

concerns about what could happen next but what as we're going to see in this report the death of $33.00 soldiers is a huge event that could reshape the future of the turkish military involvement in syria as we're going to see. turkish soldiers being evacuated from syria after being attacked by sea in government forces images like these have created shock and anger in turkey and growing calls for revenge. turkish military hit syrian army positions in retaliation for the death of dozens of its soldiers in southern israel. turkey blames the syrian government for the airstrike that targeted a military outpost officials here also accuse rochelle failing to deter syrian government forces who have recently stepped up their attacks against the soldiers.

these attacks happened despite the location of troops being coordinated you know at once with russian officials on the ground unfortunately the attack continued after we weren't following the 1st strike. feeling abandoned by its e.u. our allies turkey warned it won't prevent refugees from crossing into europe european countries are alarmed this might turn into a mass exodus of refugees fleeing the conflict in syria turkey has been calling on the e.u. to share the burden of the refugee crisis and on nato to deploy pair to it besides on the border with syria but nato doesn't seem to be willing to provide military support offering for the time being the sympathy by call on them to stop their offensive to respect international law and to back you in efforts

for a peaceful solution to this dangerous situation must be deescalated urge an immediate return to the 2018 cease fire. as tension mounts turkish and russian officials held talks in unkind to defuse tension turkey wants the syrian army to pull our behind the demilitarized zone stop its offensive and allow civilians to return home. russia is a key ally of president bashar assad who rejects turkey's expanded presence in syria and insists they often sit by his troops in as legitimate and they will continue and if russia and turkey fail to overcome their differences they might and . in a wider and prolonged the original confrontation in syria has about al jazeera jill vegas or one turkish border with syria while in the past half an hour the u.n.

secretary general and hinted to terrorists is spoken out about the latest escalation between turkey and syria in recent days i've warned repeatedly about the risk of a serious escalation of you're still in northwest syria i fear that with the events of the past 24 hours we have reached that point these one of the most alarming moments across of your nation is the syrian conflict without urgent action the risk of even greater an escalation girls by the oh well there are fears the airstrikes will lead to a renewed refugee crisis with turkey warning it will allow syrian refugees to enter europe for more on this let's go to nightmare and monday you know european brokaw centenarian movie. that's right we're already seeing quite swift reaction countries bordering turkey have immediately stepped up security belgariad has increased its

patrolling troops the greek prime minister has also said no illegal entries to greece would be tolerated turkey's move is seen as an attempt by ankara to force the european union to reengage with the situation in syria our correspondent lawrence lee has been following the migrant situation for the past few years and sent us this report. many times the turkish government has threatened to open its borders and release the refugees into europe in large numbers once again this perhaps is a taste of what might still come this was the scene on the shores of the greek island of lesbos already a nightmarish place for the 10s of thousands of men women and children who had come over from turkey and who are now trapped there in itself a dingo arriving isn't any different from any other day but the implication was that the turkish authorities didn't try to stop it. in the same way the routes was being cleared for refugees much further north on the border. there were reports of

people being bussed from istanbul to the border town of. a haven for people traffickers and unlike in recent months the turkish military did absolutely nothing to stop people then making their own way on foot towards the wide river the border with greece. coming from istanbul to get to germany there are syrians with us algerians palestinians there are people from every country this want to. live here and greece border police are on the side and they're not letting migrants in we've got lots of problems here we want to open the borders because of these problems the major response from the greek sides was to tear gas the several 100 people who gathered right on the border with politicians warning loudly that greece was closed to this new wave. also sent more special forces to the border to try to prevent people coming across the general supposition is the turkey's threatening to manipulate the refugee flows as

a direct threat to the european union to reengage with the situation in syria and the humanitarian crisis that has engulfed people in if the e.u. continues to turn a blind eye this could get a lot more serious lawrence li al jazeera. john psaropoulos is on the island of lies just for us and joins us now and so has there been evidence there of an increase in the number of refugees arriving. latest decision by the tech a government you know the greek government is bruised for a massive flow of refugees from turkey but so far. it's been rather an ordinary day 151 asylum seekers have been logged arriving at the greek islands on 5 separate boats 3 of them here on less verse that is not an extraordinary number for a one day tally it is maybe on the high end but it's still within the realm of the

of the ordinary. the news was different on the land border with evidence where there was a concerted effort by about 300 people to come across and as we saw in the footage in that package you played earlier from my colleague lawrence lee the tear gassing was the reaction. of the reaction is extra patrolling around the clock. vigilance strengthening of the maritime border with full manpower. and vessels being deployed in 3 shifts. but so far there hasn't been anything approaching that kind of concerted effort on the maritime border. and the great reaction so far. well the greek reaction so far has been. to put its maritime and land borders on maximum alert but these are 2 very different situations on the land borders you saw it's possible to

repulse people whether or not on humanitarian grounds one believes that is a good thing to do is another story it is the european attitude it's an increasingly hardening hardening attitude. perhaps in response to the politicize ation of the refugee issue on both sides of the european border. but on but on the maritime border it's a different story you can't push people back without putting their lives at risk without risking sinking the boats we've seen such incidents in the past and they've led to tragedy so here really when the greek government says we're strengthening the maritime border all it can really do is increase its vigilance use its the will cameras to see boats detaching themselves from the turkish coast be prepared to meet them at the international water line between greek and turkish territorial waters and then rescue them they're still going to end up here so this is the

border the greek government is really worried about this is the one that really needs european solidarity and help with not just in search and rescue but also in what the greek government has been asking its e.u. partners is to help in relocating asylum applications around the european union because right now greece having about 2 percent of the european union's population about one percent of its g.d.p. is handling close to 11 percent of its asylum cases and what it's really afraid of happening is being used as a buffer to absorb the asylum applications that will arrive on its shows which is what european rules currently dictate should happen and it wants some sort of reinstatement of the relocation program that there's allowed a little more good. in sharing in solidarity and in this light i think this is how we should interpret also the greek prime minister's statement on twitter earlier. greece does not burn the responsibility for the tragic events in syria and will not

suffer the consequences of decisions taken by others i think you can interpret that statement as being aimed at turkey which yes is suffering with $3600000.00 refugees on its soil but also is a power that inserts itself into the syrian conflict and has an active involvement . whereas the greek side sees itself as being much more the recipient of those problems that are generated. thank you very much from lies false john psaropoulos joins me now via skype from oslo is paul messenian advisor at the norwegian refugee council so over the policy months we have seen. nearly merely a 1000000 syrian refugees being driven towards the border with turkey so a massive exodus do you anticipate that these recent developments could lead to a considerable movement of people towards year at. it is very uncertain and of

course the primary concern now is that people being displaced and it lit do not have to move there which means the primary issue is deescalation and ceasefire. we need turkey needs to keep the border open if that's their only safety option and then in the european side we also need to contribute we cannot meet people seeking protection with tear gas and bullets and greece certainly should expect much more from its european neighbors. it should expect much more but it's not getting the help that needs of either hearing from john's represented as ball star is bearing the bud and all this influx of refugees who are living and die of conditions on the island of false they're not getting help they will they need in terms of such a rescue or the relocation of asylum seekers that's true and it's very sad to have

to conclude that greece big decision to where it is and with borders up through europe being closed the rest of us did not step up and relocate and particularly us we've seen from less force to take people in a crisis they had it to other european countries so what we say is a standstill in many ways that for 4 years by european countries rather than finding political and humanitarian solutions we're looking the other way we haven't been able to reach consensus within the european union on associated countries and the refugees are paying the price. what does that mean for the situation of the people who already analyze balsa and the many people that might. also be coming over because the land border is easier to control but the maritime border is a different thing. yes it's still very arms to what extent chickie will

let people dress and how this will develop in the next few days and weeks. but europe should certainly be able to deal with still very low numbers and not leave it to the greek islanders the greek authorities to handle this on their own. this is not a new crisis we have seen since 2015 it's been phrased 5 is that we've seen thousands of migrants coming over there living in appalling conditions why is it that the european union con seem to come up with a credible in sharing agreement something that would allow asylum seekers to be relocated in accordance with international law and the humanitarian rights. yes it's a very big step back so europe because in any major refugee situation you do

not have complete consensus among all neighboring countries that never happened step by you depend on someone taking initiatives someone moving full which. coming to the assistance of those countries that has the biggest burden and it's this waiting for everybody else that has caused europe to stop it's become very politicized it's become very much a story of something being out of control which really isn't the case the numbers for europe very manageable and we really do need now some european politicians to step show which lasted for instance when 800000 came out of question when a week couple of decades ago and say we can manage this if we do it together thank you very much for sharing your insight with us appreciate it paul ness from the norwegian refugee council joining us that from. thank you now if following another

story out of europe and this a major paris train station has been evacuated after protesters began lighting fires as demonstrators in paris have set fire to scoot says and cause. in protest at a concept of congo funny. it had previously had to cancel concerts because of demonstrations opposed to the democratic republic of congo's government and we will try to bring you a bit more on that now that the train station has been evacuated but a bit more on all those developments in the french capital later on in the news hour now that we can get back to nic and. marm yes thanks very much indeed the most ahead only news hour including. the worst shelling in weeks pushes libya's peace process to the brink we'll have the latest on the ground in tripoli. and find out why this 4 time tour de france champion is on the lockdown and that's coming up with peta the sport.

by the world health organization has upgraded the risk of the corona virus spreading across the globe to very high and that's because more countries are reporting cases in that some are struggling to contain the virus and as alexia brown reports the 1st sickness has not been confirmed in sub-saharan africa. in the biggest city of africa's most populous country the 1st case of coronavirus is worrying news and italian men flew into lagos nigeria from the mom earlier this week we have started working to identify all the contacts of the. nigeria and even those who were with him on the aircraft nigeria's large population and high rates of poverty make it vulnerable to outbreaks like this when the world health organization declared the virus

a global health emergency last month it was because of concern it could hit countries with weak health systems on friday the upgraded the risk of the virus is global for it to very high and i think this is a reality check for every government on the planet wake up get ready this fire is maybe on its way and you need to be ready you have a duty to your citizens you have a duty to the world to be ready. he pointed to the increase in cases and affected countries some struggling to contain the virus. the 1st cases have been announced in dane markets tonia little way any of the netherlands and makes a coat all linked to the outbreak in italy. it's reported hundreds of cases and is the a.p. center of the virus outside asia it's famous square empty of the new show and trains are being disinfected in a bid to slow the virus is spread. out over the city still seems to be

a little asleep in a negative way i don't see many people around and i'm sorry to see that people have been so long on it. in switzerland geneva international moshe shows being cancelled after the government banned all events involving more than a 1000 people and in iran instead of crowds of worshippers they were workers in hazmat suits in this holy shrine and. friday prayers but canceled across much of around where the virus has killed dozens of people and infected hundreds more to china the way the virus began recorded the lowest number of new cases and more than a month more than 36000 people have already been discharged from hospital after recovering from the disease. like the recent success in controlling the epidemic is hard earned the situation is still grim and complex and with an increase of people going back to work in school we are facing the risk of the epidemic rebounding we cannot afford to take chances that warning is now being

echoed worldwide alexia brian al jazeera. let's take this on we can speak. media consultant joining us live from lagos in nigeria by skype so silliman we have this case in nigeria how has that news been received by people there how worried. many thanks nic nigerians are worried especially those in lagos who have the case. was reported earlier today the governor of lagos state had a live conference where he spoke to a nigerian sound like cautions asking them not to panic because this particular case is being addressed but just some couple of hours just to give you an update to before i came on live with you are 28 people at the moment have been quarantined

in that you know of the state so far talking about those who hot direct contact with the italian when he arrived at the factory in a place called ogun state which is well in neighboring states to lagos state is a cement factory court. and that the company has already shut down that factory. as they try as much as possible to see if those who were in contact with these men who came in from milan italy there are concerns as you well know that some countries will not have the means to deal with this virus and in nigeria of course systems were put in place to deal with a bowler how helpful all of those systems now how ready is nigeria for any escalation in the uptake of the virus. so far of the latest a government has a facility dechen take about $100.00 people so now the net and who's

come down with a virus is the only one in the facility meaning to have about 99 beds i mean beds dagg on occupied from the 28 that have been quarantined they have just been watched closely to see if they'll come down with the virus so far i think the medical professionals at the center for disease control in nigeria they say they are ready and the minister for house for has also been speaking to people but i gave them something that has happened in lagos and publish all the state states and cities and it has to do with the panic which the government has worsened against if you go to shops and especially medical shops around lego's in nigeria hardly would you be able to find a high hand sanitizer to buy and what they've got out of shop and of course the face not is also discuss the demand. in so many of the places you go to in nigeria

like the electricity company where i present to consult thought big company has tried to such a sponsor to also give out news not so where we are at the moment before i came in you have to stop to take the same to view we were all given hand sanitizer so i think the awareness is creeping on the people couple with the panic which people trying to liken it with fright and you know concerned they had when we had it were all that i was right to said niger was able to manage people and so the doctors he had to say they also ready but so far is just one man down with the virus y 28 at the moment in a facility being watched but excellent thanks for that update that sensitive and lead a thanks a lot. well the world's largest economies are being hit hard as the corona virus outbreak rocks the stock markets christian salumi is on wall street following developments that the share prices continue to fall well stocks continue to fall

here in new york just as they have been doing around the globe in the wake of concerns about the continuing spread of the crown a virus primarily outside of china we've been hearing the headlines all morning long just like we have all week long stocks fall again the biggest weekly losses since the financial crisis the big sic in facts wall street these are the headlines that investors and new yorkers in general have been waking up to this morning and that has the markets extremely jittery as you mentioned they have all fallen into what's known as correction territory that's more than a 10 percent decline in the major indices. just in the last week we're seeing this for stock prices come out of the prices energy is down oil prices are down basically multinational companies are bracing for continued disruptions in the supply chain concern that travel will be reduced certainly facebook canceled

a major international developers conference that takes place in may all of that could have an impact on profits for businesses and by extension the global economy so while a lot of this is perspective looking forward in terms of what could happen it's affecting the markets today all right let's get some more insight we can speak of a tourist dollar who's a market analyst which is not online trading company joins us live from london welcome to the program victoria the ferocity of this is pretty unparalleled isn't it my right in saying it's a speed of decline rather than the extent of the decoy. yeah i think i mean it's a bit of both really i mean just to put it into context the 1st 100 for example is having its worst week since the financial crisis all the way back in 2008 if we look at the magnitude of today's the kinds it's lower by about 3.2 percent on the day that lehman brothers went bust which was really at the height of the global

financial crisis back in 2008 it was down by 3.8 percent so it's really not that much less and this is the crisis in terms of the markets that's gripping the world that we look at the dow jones in the united states for example suffered its biggest points decline in history that was on thursday and normally what happens is we see flows towards gold as a safe haven but in fact gold has also been having its worst day since 2013 and that kind of highlights the fact that there's nowhere to hide right now. but what's a sense what's the feeling on this is a great deal of uncertainty to say the least because you're a feeling that it will. i mean that's really what makes the market isn't it there are some buyers and there are some sellers there's one school of thought out there that says look we're down about 10 percent from where we were 15 percent in correction territory as your reporter mentioned from where we were just recently that makes the stocks i want to buy last week so much cheaper than there's other people that are saying well we're still about 80 percent above the

trough when we were out of the real bottom the top of the financial crisis back in 2008 and that led to a global recession in 2009 so it's really difficult to say what's going to happen next a lot of it obviously depends on the developments around the coronavirus whether or not whether or not we get a vaccination whether or not we manage to keep it relatively contained and these are all sort of things that are very difficult to quantify. it is always winners and losers in these situations of go to be somewhere that is doing well out of this i did hear the conference call technology is stocks in those companies that showed up. absolutely is true there's a store called zoom technology that's been performing incredibly well because if you think of lots of people are going to be staying at home taking video conferencing calls rather than going into the office if more people are in quarantine those are the stocks are performing very well also hygiene products i've seen the sales of death toll cleaning product has been going through the roof this

week which is quite interesting so i think it's those sort of health care sort of elements and then those technology elements that really have the potential to outperform if you think about people staying at home on the internet using their laptops a lot more that's a real area that's potentially going to benefit but if we look at sectors it doesn't really seem to be any that particularly big managing to buck the trend of the move lower it's troubling that fascinates you at the same time every tour is going to great to have you put it in perspective for us thanks very much thank you so much for having me. on al-jazeera. that scale so the french movie awards protest is c.g. in the red carpet over the inclusion of a controversial film director. paul coverdell to some courtside front of the past will get a bit too close to the action as the l.a. lakers continue to impress. in the n.b.a. he too would be here with
