afghanistan war crimes the police by the international criminal court u.s. the taliban are 2 of the suspects. welcome to the program we begin in syria where a cease fire brokered by russia and turkey in northwestern if the province appears to be holding for now at least the breakthrough was reached after 6 hours of talks between russia's president vladimir putin and turkey's leader type erdogan in moscow the 2 back opposing sides of the syrian conflict but they've agreed to establish a told kilometer wide security code or along it lives m. 4 highway which connects the government stronghold of attack with syria's financial hub of aleppo have also agreed on a joint patrol along that motorway later this month for the syrian government offensive in it was pushed nearly a 1000000 civilians towards turkey's border it's not clear how and when they'll be

able to return to their homes we start with step fastened on the talks in moscow. it was clear from the start that this was going to be a tough meeting the partnership between put an end to one which was carefully nurtured in the past appear tense now with the turkish and russian military facing each other in italy and turkish and syrian forces taking a high number of casualties but a direct confrontation has been averted for now but a cease fire. we don't always agree with our turkish partners on what happens in syria but every time including moments we manage to find common ground on controversial issues and find an acceptable solution based on the high level of our bilateral relations that's what's happened this time. as well negotiations in moscow were on the way fighting and continued an airstrike blamed by opposition activists on russian warplanes killed 15 civilians including women

and children a few hours before the landmark meeting took place. undoubtedly a meeting on it live is of great importance in fact the situation in the region is very tense i know that the world's eyes are on us. early a ceasefire as brokered by russia and turkey haven't held for long he has blamed syrian government forces backed by russia for a start of hostilities several times before but some analysts believe that put in might be less willing to back assad as strongly as he has done so far. but russia helped to solve it lives problem as long as it didn't lead to a direct confrontation between russia and turkey or russia to a large extent has fulfilled its obligations towards assad's regime so after that russia will likely try to make steps towards ankara. the test will come on march 15th when joint patrols of russian and turkish troops are planned around the am for

highway and the buffer zone they announced in the meeting on thursday will have to materialize tense but constructive that's how president putin has described the 6 hour talks with his turkish counterpart the complex relationship between the 2 leaders is seriously being tested. and although tangents have been reduced today nobody can predict how this dangerous diplomatic game well and that plus an al-jazeera moscow. policies hardeen is being seen as a diplomatic triumph for turkey's president and offer some hope for the internally displaced families and bar reports now from hansei the turkey syria border until a few days ago there were huge concerns that turkey may not be able this time to get what it wants from the russians particularly about about it live so the gov the ceasefire to be implemented plus the safe corey doors and also resettlement of the

civilians back into their areas and i think this is going to be widely seen as a major diplomatic victory for president but as of at least for the time being because of one hand it will it means that he will have to be concerned about his soldiers deployed in the north west some province of it live because with the ceasefire with the buffer zone with the demilitarized zone there will be no risk whatsoever for any attack targeting those positions but i think also turkey has been very concerned about the potential for a protracted conflict in it live that would pave the way for 4000000 civilians those who were displaced to cross into turkey i think now with this agreement they will be able to go back to some of the villages. well just a lot of this is director of the center the middle east studies at the university of oklahoma he says the rebels have much to lose under the new deal. it's not

likely to hold the russians got a quite a good deal here i think the syrian syrian circles seem to think that it's a victory for them just as the turks are claiming that it's a victory for turkey because the m. 4 highway goes right through the middle of the elite province and through the middle the very strategic city of just. which is held by rebels and that highway you're supposed to be policed now by russian soldiers as well as turkish soldiers and the rebels are supposed to move all forces are supposed to move 6 kilometers away from the highway to the north and to the south this would mean that russia gets to police this area and rebels have to move out and it's a rebel controlled area right now so in some ways this is an advance for russia and it's it's unlikely that it's going to be observed for very long it seems to me new

cases of the coronavirus have risen significantly in parts of europe more deaths reported and it's in the netherlands france and the u.k. on thursday several public events have been council the old school and it's only a closed for at least 10 days the economic impact continues to worsen with the airline and tourism industry bearing the brunt honest in president mahmoud abbas has declared a state of emergency out to 7 cases of the virus were confirmed in bethlehem in the occupied west bank israeli military has sealed off the city along with an in or out tourist and pilgrims to be banned from the area for the next 2 weeks. and the u.s. senate has approved an $8300000000.00 funding bill to combat the spread of the virus 11 people have died across the country a state of emergency is in place in california and washington state where the deaths of occurred. 3 and a half 1000 people are stranded on a cruise ship off san francisco after a passenger the been onboard died from the virus that's been shabba town say again from washington d.c.

congress has now approved this 8000000000 dollar war chest just talk us through briefly how this will help alleviate the shortage of testing kits that you've been talking about earlier and medical resources in the u.s. you know when it comes to testing kids it's not clear how much of an effect which is going to have that seems to be partly down to the bureaucratic problems such as with disease control of have and the lack of preparation for the administration as a whole even as everyone was watching what was happening in china as well as the top administration is coming under a great deal of attack for that this congregational bill is very similar to the one we were talking about this time yesterday when the house initially passed it but lots of money for research and development for the agencies dealing with the virus and interestingly $300000000.00 to ensure that a vaccine if and when it's found will be affordable that's a particularly american amendment because clearly here in the u.s. health care is a for profit business and this seems to be a very kind of congressional compromise here between the republicans and democrats

it means that. pharmaceutical companies will get loads of money and subsidies millions of dollars to research and develop a vaccine get state state funded research into it but when they find it they will be able to pay to charge whatever they want for it and the taxpayer will then pay for pay for the administer the vaccine being used but still not quite clear what this means is affordable what does that mean does that mean it's for people who have insurance or 30000000 people here in this country who don't have insurance. in the context of what's happening the democratic party and we're getting this debate about whether health care is a right or should just be a business and it's been noted by various progressive politicians on capitol hill that this doesn't address the main bit of advice public health advice we're getting from authorities if you feel sick stay at home so nothing here to help people with lost wages with child care the potential of losing jobs and so on but we are hearing from from progressive folks on capitol hill that maybe that we're pushing for more from congress soon and chad what's the latest you're hearing there about

this cruise ship which is now being held off the coast of california we did just get a bit more information so the cruise ship apparently has 2383 passengers on board 1100 crew members and of that total 35 have shown flu like symptoms they will be tested apparently tests testing kits have landed now on board they were airlifted on the cruise ship operators says fewer than $100.00 in total will be tested those will include holdover passengers from a previous cruise to mexico on which a passenger from that cruise subsequently died in northern california and another passenger was found to have the symptoms and was found to have the current virus so they'll be tested too and once those results are in the appropriate place for the cruise ship to berth will be decided upon by the centers for disease control. in washington she had thank you. well the number of confirmed infections in new york

has doubled to 22 governor says that number is expected to rise as more people attest in a large scale cleaning operation is now underway to stop the virus spreading in a city with millions of people use public transport every day but it is on the reports. sanitizing the busiest public transport system in the united states city officials say all of new york's $472.00 subway stations and $4000.00 subway cars and buses been cleaned and will be every 72 hours all to try to prevent an outbreak of coronavirus or covert 19 it will decrease the presence of viruses but both the cold it 19 and others on our facilities will also give passengers our customers a sense that we're doing everything we can. new york is yet to see a major outbreak of coronavirus at least so far but officials are planning for the

worst because there are so many people here. on any given week day more than one and a half a 1000000 people pour into new york city from the outer areas every day more than 5 and a half 1000000 commuters use the public transportation everything from the subway to the bus to the trains and every year new york city receives more than $60000000.00 tourists. that's a lot of hands touching things the problem though with wiping down the subways is it's unclear how long it keeps surfaces contamination free there is still some debate about for mites which is essentially when you touch a surface that's contaminated you touch yourself how long can a virus survive on the surface is still a matter of debate we have anything between 9 hours to 14 days for now most people here are not changing their routines i kind of understand some of the panic about it but at the same time one. just going to continue to live my daily life and you

know do the things i normally do the sales they are like oh my gosh i'm like traveling or like be careful but there's been a lot of diseases actually and like the current viruses like stats are actually pretty low. but when it comes to the subway stations they'll continue to wipe everything down to try to wipe out any corona virus worries gabriels andro new york. time for short break how to 0 out when we come back to send a special police force to it's great to stop syrian refugees being pushed by. turning homs to rubble israeli forces demolished 2 houses in retaliation for the last 2 months for this. welcome back we've had

a series of low pressure systems affecting parts of japan over the last few days this latest system is moving away hours into the northern pacific so quiet so conditions across much of japan and date in tokyo should be a pleasant day with highs of 14 degrees or more or less unbroken sunshine the one across the korean peninsula is also looking draw and largely fine 8 degrees the high and so across more southern parts of china because of my brace of right none of it though is especially heavy we've all across into vietnam we've got a few showers right into northern areas but jerry i think for one noir it should be a bright day highs that of 26 degrees to the forecast on through into stuff i still got right in southern parts of china southern parts of japan but also begin to see a threat to write the same goes for south korea but so dry and fine of 12 for southeast and look a little bit quieter across one of the border still plenty of showers around but not as wet as it has been still the risk of heavy showers affecting java including jakarta once again and then as we head up into south asia we're seeing changes

taking place here low pressure beginnings of food produce some heavy showers across northern parts of pakistan through into northern parts of india delhi certainly risks and big downpours heise here of 23. when i entered the beautiful modified current 601st power i feel the happiest. women tearing up the track in the west bank. challenge stereotypes. living life in the fact it's likely that eventually. the systems i'm different.

welcome back a quick amount of the top stories here this hour a cease fire in syria is if the provinces come into effect the deal came up to talk to russian president vladimir putin and turkey's leader type 31. new cases of coronavirus have risen significantly in parts of europe and more deaths are reported in italy the netherlands france and the u.k. on the. number of confirmed sections in new york has doubled to 22 the governor andrew cuomo says that figures are expected to rise as more people attest to the large scale feeding operation is now underway to stop the virus spreading. now turkey has deployed a 1000 police officers to its border with greece to try and hold the push back of refugees migrants from there tens of thousands of people have been trying to cross into europe since ankara opened its borders last week but greece doesn't want them

the red cross says the migrants are now being used as political pawns and tasha going to reports now from on the turkey greece border. the wind sliced through copes the cold left fingers numb it the syrian refugees from it live along with other migrants have been camped out on this riverbank in a dern a turkey for days they're stuck here trying to figure out how best to cross into greece and continue on to western europe to find the good life i'm still young but i have to of course on the level of my life here or the city of course and the situation. i mean i think to go out from city because it was a pretty good country before late in the day as the wind picked up police officers walked through the tents and clusters of people telling them they could take buses to a warm place suspicion spread as fast as the wind gusts only then just think it was

not over to we won't be taking buses because they take us to the rev and they will give us to the creeks they take all our belongings and money and be tests and they will send us back we're human beings not animals the turkish minister of interior has announced $1000.00 members of turkey's special police forces are deploying to the merge river border with greece this is an effort to prevent greek troops from pushing back migrants who reached the country by boat the interior minister says greece tried to send 4900 people back to turkey and injured 164 get it military anger limit. we will not provide an opportunity for the maltreatment of the people there i would like to express that we've taken the necessary measures to protect our borders from a push back and to prevent several attempts by greece which were in violation of the international. the greek government has not responded to the accusations but

it's deployed additional troops along its side of the border refugees say greece is just a transit point for them many like ibrahim have crossed. into the country and been deported back to turkey with awful memories ibrahim says a few days ago greek police shot him in the needy with a rubber bullet and beat him. women a tired men a tired we're all tired of the please open the gate as newser bill as these refugees are there more anguished about their loved ones back in at least in turkey they have found a refuge from a 9 year war in syria natasha going to name al-jazeera and dirname turkey while on the other side in greece more asylum seekers are arriving from different parts of the world but the country has suspended all applications from month in response to turkey opening its borders and that means that famine and seeking shelter in europe having to spend their nights out in the cold johns are up on this

reports from less bus. now this boatload of asylum seekers arrived just before sunday there are 42 of them 36 afghans 4 from african countries and 2 syrians they are going to spend the night here in this courtyard of a small chapel by the sea. but they've been given a tarpaulin to bed down on they've been given some blankets and an evening meal and that is it there is nowhere else for them to go and that is a problem because when they arrived it was raining and their clothes soaked among them 12 very small children and infants who could easily get very sick here tonight where the air is damp there's no fire going there's no source of heat other than body heat they could have spent the night in a tent or in a local depo set up by the unit unfortunately that was burned 3 days ago

by a group of angry locals who don't want to have any sort of reception center here on the north shore of the island for more asylum seekers because the fact that turkey has opened its borders to europe and is actively sending asylum seekers to greece has angered many people and one particular faction has decided to also try and sabotage the normal procedures that are undertaken by charities by the police and by the coast good the worst of all of course is that these people whom we've been speaking to earlier on not aware that greece is no longer accepting asylum applications as a result of turkey's border opening and that they will be picked up in the morning by buses they will be held in detention taken to athens on board a military transport ship and then the greek plan is that they will be deported back to their home countries. elizabeth warren has ended her 2020 bid for the white

house the massachusetts senator was considered a front runner for the democratic nomination but failed to win a single state join the primaries she lost and state to rival joe biden i was drawn leaves 3 candidates in the race biden and bennie psalms are considered the front line it. will not be running for president in 2020 but i guarantee i will stay in the fight for hard working folks across this country have gotten shorting to the staff over a number that's been the fight of my life and it will continue to sell well bernie sanders is hoping that warren supporters embrace his campaign today is a difficult day percent of the work known for the warmth for some 20 years. and she is very focused very disciplined very hard working. and then i would simply say to her supporters out there of all of whom there are millions of

we are opening the door to you we'd love you to come on board. together i think we can win this primary process together we can defeat. the most dangerous president in the modern history of america so i think for those women rightly so or people in this country what disappointed. all that i can say is that in burning centers you will have a president who will be a very very strong advocate for women for a particle has more on one's announcement. when she didn't win any of the early contests there was no longer a viable path for her to get the nomination so she came out and spoke to reporters in what seemed to be the alley behind her house with her husband her dog and she said at the beginning of this whole race that she was told that there were just 2 lanes one for progressives that bernie sanders had and one for moderates which joe biden was leading and she said i didn't believe that but i guess it was wrong

because that's where the race is now she was very elegant as she spoke to reporters about the disappointment of trying to run this race she was asked about sexism if it played a part she said that's a trap question if i say yes i'm whining if i say no then of all the women in the world say what are you talking about and that was the part that she really seemed to get choked up about is when she talked about these things that she would do with little girls at her rallies because she could be famous for herself in line she wouldn't leave until everyone who got a selfie with her wanted to everyone wanted to selfie got one and with that little girl she would kneel down and she would give a pinky promise and say i'm running for president because that's what girls do and then she said she did the pinky promise of that they would always remember it and that seemed to be a really hard thing for her to do admit she was walking away from the international criminal court has authorized an investigation into possible war crimes committed in afghanistan these include claims of atrocities by u.s. troops the taliban and afghan forces prison the torture the mass killing of
