i will try our best to tell them what's happening in the east in kiev and alibi in africa and i couldn't be more proud to be out of the in. the area and. it's tense but mostly calm and serious idlib province after a cease fire agreed by turkey and russia takes effect seriously fred adler bar among refugees who say they feel like political pawns stuck and don't want to it's only used borders. my of i'm home he didn't and this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up japan faces anger over its decision to impose coronavirus travel restrictions on visitors

from china and south korea and hope violence and protests over a controversial citizenship will of left thousands homeless in india. my. hope people in syria's edward province are describing a tense calm in the largely rebel held region after a cease fire sic affects turkey that backs opposition forces brokered the deal with russia. to the syrian government's president richard so i've heard one and blood amir peretz integrate the deal during hours of talks in moscow on thursday they said there was stablish a 12 kilometer wide security corridor along edwards m 4 highway that connects the government stronghold of latakia with syria's largest city aleppo where rival forces have been fighting for control of the m 4 and m 5 highways for months now

the town of seraing has been at the center of this because whoever controls it has access. 2 motorways and gains crucial military and economic advantages for the red series of this map are in government control those and green are or position territory and this is the joint security corridor that turkey and russia have agreed to establish all sin and joins me live from the turkey syria border at the job because you crossing. seas far has now been established appears to be holding for no. yes for now it appears to be holding but of course when it comes to a cease fire and. everything is the pentagon dollars because the latest cease fire before this one the previous one i mean on the lasted less than 24 hours so we

don't know what's going to happen on the ground as there are very different factions and on both sides both the syrian government side plus the opposition side yes turkey and most of all they are differing they are supporting the opposite sides in. about they have a common understanding about some main issues however there are factions inside the syrian government army and also there are fighters backed by iran fighting on the same side with the syrian government forces who over who actually were a killer to solve unmanipulated in this ceasefire before this and also on the opposition side yes there is the turkish army and the turkish backed rebels but there are some other rebel groups who are not that's. actually let's say supportive to the ceasefire for now the reactions from inside i mean among the opposition

there is no reaction everyone is quiet but today is friday and for syria for many asian countries for fridays are important especially after the friday prayers. which is in a couple of hours there are demonstrations and and since there is because of the cease fire agreement there are no airstrikes civilians are expected to attend participate in those stomach ration the most ration is we don't know whether it's going to be a very some of the most ration but of course we will be hearing what the civilians inside syria in the are thinking about this because cease fires. are the parties agree on cease fires but unless it is permanent it doesn't work although there is one expectation it's going to ease the pressure on the turkish border but the turkish official say. the refugee policy of turkey hasn't changed which means turkey it will not stop the syrian refugees or any other

afghan pakistani refugees if from crossing from turkey to europe more on the 2nd but from our sin of course the olu live for us in the turkey syria border thank you very much indeed well as we were hearing there from sin i am so miserable and are among tens of thousands of people who are trying to cross from turkey into the european union but trying to enter through greece and bulgaria but say they have been met by violence rubber bullets and tear gas and so i'm sure going to reports from a day or nay. 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 fund the good life i'm still young but

i have to of course on the level of my life here. of course in this situation that's. what i love and i think to. get a 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 them we just think it was not able to we weren'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 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 give

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 knee with a rubber bullet and beat him on the militant women a tired man a tired we're all tired brother please open the gate as miserable as these refugees are they're more anguished about their loved ones back in it live at least in

turkey they have found a refuge from a 9 year war in syria. al-jazeera adderley turkey and you personal storm is brewing between south korea and japan over coronavirus quarantine measures japan's prime minister has imposed a mandatory quarantine on over sitters from south korea and china but so has protested against that calling for it to be revoked and morning it may launch countermeasures it's also protested against similar restrictions and forced by vietnam and singapore south korea has more than 6000 confirmed cases local color new corn team for visitors from both countries will be strengthened and the be required to be quantified 2 weeks of the location designated by the quarantine director to be asked to refrain from using public transportation in the country. will rip mcbride has more from software he says the coronavirus is rekindled all disputes. increasingly south korea is feeling like

a pariah nation and it puts up with it largely it does object to some of these travel restrictions but it does accept grudgingly that for a lot of countries especially developing countries they simply cannot afford 2 important outbreak of coronavirus from south korea they don't have the medical resources to deal with such an outbreak but there's a feeling here that japan is a big sophisticated country it has the kind of medical services you need to keep travel going to have in place screening rather than taking a draconian measure such as a complete ban like this south korea is already struggling economically with this with this outbreak it's going to have dire consequences for later on this year putting in place bearish budgetary measures to deal with it but japan is such an important trading partner this is going to cause further economic pain this is what south korea's prime minister had to say about it. yesterday the japanese government

imposed a measure practically blocking the entry of all our citizens to japan we find the speed reticle and the japanese government to withdraw such an excessive and reasonable measure immediately our government will devise a proper counter measure against japan's measures. south korea's national security council has met friday to consider its response and it has talked about following a principle of receipt reciprocity which would seem to indicate that it is possibly considering exactly the same kind of ban in retaliation that should cause concern for the international community because of course it faces this global public health crisis and 2 of the most important partners in tackling that japan and south korea seem to be taking the gloves off and getting stuck into age old animosities. it's also spread to bethlehem and though the israeli military isn't allowing people

in or out still the occupied west bank city palestinian president mahmoud abbas earlier declared a state of emergency after confirmation of 7 cases tourists and pilgrims are banned from the area for the next 2 weeks the church of the nativity revered among christians as the birthplace of jesus is among the sites that are being cool stuff you know abraham is in ramallah and she says palestinians are worried about whether hospitals and clinics will be able to cope with an i break. well i can tell you driving this morning to the office from a less sounded more like over looked like a ghost town it's a friday it's a weekend usually not many people are out on the streets on this hour of the morning but you could definitely see the effects of the declaration made late on thursday by the palestinian prime minister mohammed to stay he said that all educational facilities more churches parks will be closed for a month in an attempt to contain the spread of the virus the 7 cases remain in

a hotel in bethlehem they were infected after a tourist delegation was in that hotel we've seen some protests in jericho actually in the west bank trying to prevent some of those patients from going there so you can sense a state of panic palestinians are scared whether their institutions is going to be able to deal with that situation particularly their day your under israeli occupation but what we know for now is that limited movement is going to be happening between palestinian cities for a month the palestinian prime minister told person is to be a waiting for more instructions the church of nativity remains closed all tourist. reservations have been cancelled and to kind of control who really goes and comes to the palestinian territory as we know it is under israeli occupation and

they don't have control over their borders. still to come on al-jazeera. i will not be running for president 20 but i feel. i will stay and fight. another democratic candidate dropsonde leaving just 2 major players in the race for democratic presidential nominee. will meet the specialist a rookie police force from down remnants. of. hello and welcome to international weather forecast as we look at the satellite picture for europe the main features this area of low pressure centered over germany at the moment quite slow moving to we've got another frontal system towards the west more not in a moment but this low pressure center is likely to give

a brace of rain across much of germany through netherlands and belgium and elsewhere we've got some snow across the balkans so some heavy snow northern parts of or banya through into montenegro meanwhile out across more western areas a bit of a rest by in the u.k. from the rain we saw a fairly brisk wind coming in through the bay of biscay driving some snow into the pyrenees which is obviously quite welcome at this time of the year and then as we head into the weekend we're seeing this weather system begin to push in towards northwestern parts of the u.k. some fairly brisk winds developing ahead of it meanwhile across other parts of europe weather conditions looking for the quite a more central area still very warm in moscow there temperatures up at 9 degrees celsius and i generally unsettled spell of weather across the balkans mowbray's a fairly heavy rain deede some snow at higher elevations as you move into northern and central parts of africa plenty of showers around the gulf of guinea region but you'll notice further north we're going to see some strong winds a big change in temperature triply seen temperatures drop by almost 12 degrees.

colonel rounds men are forced to advance on foot but as they approach the cave they are surprised to find the entrance blocked off probably the result of a recent airstrike but. well the unit needs a surveillance and supports from the air until recently that was provided by the american led coalition in iraq but since tensions between the us and iran escalated earlier this year those activities have largely come to a halt. for 2 months the operations with the coalition have stopped as far as are team is concerned in the past we had training logistics and air support but since the beginning of 2020 that support has started and we are waiting for orders in the interior ministry to resume cooperation. that corporation is now part of
