if you want to help save the world's. sneeze into your own. a decade of protest and forced migration a harrowing toll of syria's ongoing conflict. hello i'm adrian finighan this is live from doha also coming up. another bloody day in myanmar as ousted leader aung san suu kyi is due to appear in court again. from the u.k.

to australia a rallying cry for governments to do more to end sexual violence. and american singer beyonce makes music history at this year's grammys by winning the most awards on record. serious marking 10 years since the start of the arab spring uprising that spiraled into a violent civil war more than half a 1000000 people have been killed in the fighting millions more have been forced to flee their homes as refugees now after all the suffering and sacrifice of the forces of president bashar al assad firmly in control of most of the country many are asking if it was all worth it so looks back at a decade of conflict. this is the birthplace of syria's uprising in 2011 but opposition members call this moment the end of the dream of

a democratic country it's 2018 and the government has just recaptured the southern province after 7 years of resistance. i almost had a breakdown after all the sacrifices when they raised the flag we felt stabbed the town had a lot of symbolism for the revolution. it was here where the wall of fear was. broken we watched syrians turn against the police state we watched them bury their dead demonstrators who were killed by security forces was still. going to have. protests spread to other areas in homs tanks were sent to suppress the uprising. the city which became known as the capital of the revolution became a battleground and. the regime forced us to take up arms and turned the uprising

into a war it was no longer possible to face guns without screens. there was a siege on the rebel stronghold after months of heavy fighting months later the opposition agreed to leave the area. ashraf was among them he says they had little choice they were trapped without basic supplies running low on ammunition and abandoned by the world. 2 years later and after a 4 year stalemate the opposition was forced to abandon aleppo which weakened them politically. and i felt broken when i got on the bus i still think about it but the siege was unbearable people were dying you the by bombs or hunger. as that is among the millions of internally displaced syrians who live in the opposition controlled north unable and unwilling to live under syrian president bashar assad's rule but he says he fears

a ceasefire agreed last year will not hold. already hundreds of thousands have been killed millions have been displaced inside and outside the country and there has been no accountability serious conflict is entering its 2nd decade with the majority of its citizens poor and with little hope. we have been forced to give up on our dreams the international community has failed the syrian people there is no reconciliation there is no peace 10 years of war has divided a country and its people. we have 2 correspondents with us the sun costello is in istanbul to bring us up to date on where the conflict stands now but 1st let's go to zain a hoarder who's at a refugee camp near the syrian border in lebanon back of valley. center what's the future hold for people in that camp and for those who remain inside syria. well the tragedy is not over 10 years on and that's according to the top u.n.

official in syria the conflict because the biggest displacement crisis in the world more than 13000000 people whether inside syria or outside syria this is just one of many informal refugee camps very close. border in lebanon there are nearly 900000 refugees registered with the united nations and conditions here are are miserable the latest u.n. statistics suggests that 9 out of 10 syrian families are of poor and these people rely on the united nations for help there are there also in a country which really doesn't welcome them a country which is struggling with its own deep economic crisis many lebanese blame syrians for taking their jobs and the situation if you ask these people will tell

you of course we want to go back home but we can't and there's 22 reasons 1st of all people are afraid they're afraid of being arrested even the united nations the european union they say the situation is not ripe for mass returns because there are just no security guarantees in place people who have returned there have been they've been documented cases where they've been arrested you don't need to be a member of the opposition to be arrested you could have just left the country and for the syrian regime that is enough to call you a traitor so you have the security. to. take. we seem to have lost the signal too was a hot as they were trying to convert you a little late for that recess idaho to reporting live from the bekaa valley in lebanon so when costello then georgia live from istanbul in neighboring turkey

which also hosts syrian refugees a lot of people looking to return to syria. what's preventing the. well the us turkey is the country which hosts the most crowded syrian refugee population after the uprising in 2011 according to the official figures there are 4500000 syrians residing in turkey right now and turkey is also trying to take care and provide assistance to at least 3500000 syrians within syrian borders so this is where the question mark is actually the areas that have been liberated from are still in other places by the free syrian army which is now the syrian national army s.n.a. backed by the turkish forces these are the areas where the turkish president. the syrian refugees will be able to return back safe to their homes so that those areas

let's name them euphrates field operation area operation all of. these are the places where they were designed to go about however these places have been under control by the opposition forces and the turkish military has been providing them local assistance to assist them in local governance and they have they have been establishing they have been establishing social services infrastructure. those abs have been safe so far but when you look at the attacks by the syrian government recently those areas have been targeted twice within the last one the week so where the trio of turkey iran and russia have had an agreement and. they have signed the cease fire and although no cease fire on going in and that it was ok i mean sometimes the opposition was violating the cease fire sometimes it

was the syrian government or the russian airstrikes violating the cease fire but those they realize under the opposition control now they're not safe then there is the question these people will they be safe enough to go back to those places if there has never been safe for them to go back probably but now even these these places are being discussed because in those places not only civilians but also the military military members of turkey and turkey is a side of that trio they are being literally targeted. like what happened last night bob and around the areas that have been known to be safe for the civilians they have been targeted so now everyone everybody is questioning whether this cease fire is not only an adlib but in the other places will be the last thing going on after leaving 10 years of civil war behind the right sort of many sects do that sort of course here to istanbul let's go back to say the harder than in the back of

the center you were saying that people there are essentially stuck they don't welcome in lebanon it's too dangerous for them to return to syria. yes many of them will say we need it's return to the united nations the european union they don't believe that the time is right for the refugees to return we've written dr have been documented cases where people who have returned to syria have been arrested for many of for the regime you don't need to just think gaijin any opposition activity to be called a traitor by just by leaving the country during the war you are considered a traitor british something that people are also concerned about and it's the economy the economy has crashed it has collapsed in the regime held areas the currency has lost its value people are struggling to put food on the

table the united nations is saying and the food insecurity is that an all time high . are soaring unemployment is soaring according to the united nations 13000000 people that's inside syria that's half of the people of war population they require assistance in order to survive so the regime may be saying that they've won the war they've clawed back territory from the opposition but bashar al assad rules over a failed state and he has little international legitimacy in fact he's planning to hold presidential elections in the upcoming weeks but already the west and in the statement which was issued yesterday they made very clear that that's going to recognize that the election because it's not free it's not fair and it's not transparent so what they want from the assad government to do is to give political

concessions to agree to implement the u.n. resolutions that have been put in place to engage meaningfully in discussions on a new constitute. but if bashar al assad and his government actually do that political reforms mean he loses his grip on power right now on the ground the war really is almost at a stalemate a frozen conflict if you like if there's bombardment and air strikes here and there but the battlefield has been largely quiet for a year but there is no peace there is no reconciliation when half the population is unable or unwilling to live under bashar assad's rule so now reporting live from a camp for syrian refugees in lebanon a speck of early sentiment i think many thanks indeed. myanmar's ousted civilian leader aung san suu kyi is due back in court as her country reels off to get more bloodshed she faces at least 4 charges including the illegal use of walkie talkie

radios and breaching coronavirus protocols. at least 39 people were killed on sunday that's the highest number of deaths in a single day in the crackdown on protests since the military has imposed martial more in parts of young go on me and my biggest city i was here scott high that joins us now live from bangkok so the military as we saw scott continues its deadly crackdown against the protesters dozens were killed on sunday tell us more. and yes dozens were looking at probably about 50 people killed on sunday a vast majority were protestors the authorities are saying one policeman was killed on sunday in these classes we saw primarily in yangon and districts around yangon and as you mentioned you know there what we're looking at now on monday people have

been coming out again in yangon in those districts that we saw a lot of violence on sunday but also in mandalay we're hearing also now that there is live ammunition being used at least at one. protest in mentally so it continues but what's interesting we look back at what happened on sunday when you look at those districts around yangon and we saw the most violence the government has announced that they're going to be under martial law or they already are now under martial law they were to they were announced on sunday and then for additional areas and now it's today on monday. there are also reports over the life of austin at a number of chinese financed factories why those factories being targeted is the military been responding. agent well what we can look at i think kind of connect the dots where we saw most of the violence on sunday were around these factories chinese finance factories that were set alight by the protestors

the connection between the protesters and those facilities was because china is a very very important ally for the me and my military has been for decades and when you look back through these last several weeks of the the street protests we've seen and the international condemnation we've seen china hasn't really said much at all it said that there was this was an internal matter they have said that both sides need to calm down a couple of times but what's interesting after the protesters targeted these these factories set them on fire the chinese government issued its strongest statement yet to the me anymore government military saying that they need to protect chinese assets and civilians inside myanmar so it's interesting that once they were personally the nation assets that are held by china were attacked that's when we heard the strongest condemnation coming from china and it's obviously it's a very sticky situation for me and mars military because they heavily rely on china

and china support what's interesting too when you look at those 6 districts around yangon that are now in martial law this is where those factories are and this is where those factory workers live and we're also we saw those fires light lit on sunday so really kind of tense situation there but obviously it's interest interesting to see the protesters going after these chinese entities and seeing a direct response from them side to that is that there are also some taiwanese financed factories in the area and the taiwanese government issued a statement to those factories encouraging them to fly the taiwanese flag so there's no confusion that they might be if affiliated associated financed by china . called hi-lo reporting live from bangkok scope many thanks indeed. the weather next here on al-jazeera then standing together why women around the world are taking up the fight against violence they face. a sandstorm sweeps through china's capital china hopes to prevent it reaching the capital beijing in future.

allegations that attorney general christian porter the top floor officer in a stray and allegations of a historic right case against him from 30 years ago he categorically denies that but these issues within parliament house have absolutely resonated with the australian public many who have telly been telling their stories about sexual assaults and harassment bullying in the workplace but when it comes to palm and house the real issue here is hell is this still happening it was back in 2012 that australia's 1st female prime minister julie wright issues and called out massaging me and 6 this behavior within the palm and and still way hearing stories of bullying sexual harassment and even worse but the australian government says this acting on volunteers against women is one of its katie priorities it has launched

with denunciations of police brutality hundreds had come to the south london vigil near where sarah everard went missing initially police kept their distance but the decision to move in on the crowds and the use of force to arrest women created outrage i. agree pretty patel asked the metropolitan police force for a full report her department said there were unanswered questions after she met the mc chief chris adik and london's message he can from the opposition labor party says he's unsatisfied with her account insisting the met didn't honor its assurances the vigil would be policed sensitively but despite calls from some for cressida dick to resign she's standing firm and strongly defending what happened with her. crowd that gathered her speeches. quite rightly as far as i can see. this is now and.
