2:02 am
story to justify the brutal crackdown on demonstrators. some soldiers refused to take part in attacks on civilians. they talk of fighting among the troops sent to take the city. almost 7,000 syrians have now crossed the border to escape the violence. cnn's reporters are not allowed into syria right now which makes the accounts of refugees even more critical to reporting the conflict. arwa damon caught up with a man who told her that he had video evidence of what life is now like inside syria. >> reporter: a ride on his bike turned out to be this man's final journey. he was shot in the stomach in the coastal city on his way to buy groceries for family. the circumstances of his death unknown. and cnn cannot verify the awe tinnitusity of the video. but it is one of several clips
2:03 am
that we were shown by a man who gave us only his first name, mohammed. i witnessed this, he recalls. it was after the president's first speech to parliament about two and a half months ago. a month later, muhammad took his family and fled from his hometown, starting a long and risky journey that ended here at the refugee camp just over the border in turkey. now he sneaks between turkey and syria. i wanted to help the families crossing, he says, and the wounded, and just to help the people that are on the border to make a small difference. at the syrian side of the border is a small makeshift camp close to an unofficial crossing. mohammed films people as they take their final steps to safety. capturing moments like this. a woman wailing, my children, my children. all the people are my children.
2:04 am
before imploring god to save them. he shows us the dismal life inside the camp. people living in group tents. washing in the small river. most of these people choose not to cross into turkey because they were separated from family members and the chaos as they fled. they feel forced to stay there, muhammad explains to, keep getting news about syria. they're afraid if they cross into turkey they'll be cut off, not knowing the their loved ones were killed or detained. there are wounded here too after clashes in a nearby town. this man came last saturday, muhammad tells us. he was wounded in the demonstrations. the bullet hit his leg. he survived, but many others did not as the military assault on the area intensified. the hardest times for me were at the border, muhammad admits, when the wounded arrive and they
2:05 am
are bleeding out. and we see them die before the ambulance arrives. they die in our arms. on both sides of the border, syria's tragedy continues to play out. arwa damon, cnn on the turkey/syria border. let's see what newspapers around the world are saying about this. irish independent. fleeing syrians play cat and mouse along the border. it says more than 10,000 fled the repreparation of opposition but many more are playing a dangerous cat and mouse game with the armies on both sides of the border as they seek refuge, as well as food and supplies for their families. take a look at the wall street journal. it has a guest editorial with the headline syria where massacre is a family tradition. it's written by senior fellow at the hoover institute. it goes on to say in today's world it's harder to turn off the lights and keep tales of repreparation behind closed
2:06 am
doors, but the assads know to other way. massacre is a family tradition. finally, take a look at gulf news in the united arab emirates. it says there's a great debate going on as to whether intervention in syria on the lines of nato's action in libya say viable option. one issue many views you can read all those articles in full at facebook.com/w1cnn. the edge of the financial abyss again. in just a few hours, european ministers are going to be meeting in an emergency to work out whether to organize a second bailout for athens. that's in just over a year. the eu is responding to a crisis the markets have been signaling for months.
2:07 am
that's the likelihood that greece will fail to cut its deficit by as much as a promised and won't be able to repay lenders what it owes them. standard and poors highlighted it. another round of funding for greece could be even tougher this time around. last year the eu and imf came up with $150 billion lending package. germany has been saying this time that greece's private sector lenders should share some of the pain but european central bank is worrying it could spark panic in the financial markets. let's go to germany. fred joins me now. fred, how likely is it they're going to reach agreement over there? >> well, it seems they're going to have to reach an agreement simply because if they don't greece will be in a lot of trouble come july when a lot of those debt bonds that are held by private and public investors
2:08 am
tend to mature. now, it seems as though in the end both sides will hammer out some sort of deal that will see some sort of incorporation of private bondholders probably on a voluntary basis. of course this is something that's been a point of contention between the german finance minister and the president of the ecb. tlichet saying he feels under no circumstances should greece be allowed to default on any of these bonds. let's listen in to what he had to say with an interview with richard quest. >> we have to replace tpwraoes in a bro greece in a broader contrast. again, what we have to cope with is something that is bigger, much bigger than greece, much bigger than what we are
2:09 am
observing in the area, which is something which is with the advanced economy as a whole. >> now, of course that was one of the reasons why standard & poor's downgraded greece one more time. they said if, in fact, the european union decides to extend bonds the germans are talking about seven additional years that some investors might have to wait for their money. that, in fact, to them would technically be a default and therefore standard & poor's pretty much lost confidence in the greek economy. wait and see what happens. what he is also talking about the is wider repercussions for other european nations in danger. portugal, ireland are ones that always get names. certainly he's looking at a very broad picture there. the german finance manager looking very much at the picture of his tax payers at home going to have to shoulder a large chunk of the burden >> you're watching world 1 live from london.

2:26 am
side of the country. it's all very touch and go at the moment. all the airlines are releasing this updated statements as to what their flight plans are like almost on an hourly basis. certainly there may be the potential for changes in the morning. it's very much a wait and see approach to placate many of these passengers that have been stranded. qantas and all the major airlines in australia announced they will waive any charges that are usually in place for any refunds or changes to flight details. so whether or not that will be enough to play down or at least temper some of the anger around many of these passengers, we'll have to paet would it and see. >> james daggar-nickson. >> coming up, the president of syria and he's in the spotlight for the tpoft's crackdown against opposition demonstrators but a pretty important player in lebanon's politics. we'll find out why.

2:34 am
>> well, let's remember first this government was brought to power through political coup. that's what it was called months ago by hezbollah. there's a lot of relationships with the west and syria and he's a billionaire. however, him being brought to power has changed the fixture immensely. hezbollah is careful because lebanon may be in isolation. however, the question is how will the international deal with this government. and let's remember this government is also won the first congratulations from the president of syria. >> well, what is the new prime minister's relationship with assad and syria like?

2:40 am
the big deal is about. why is it so important? >> it is important because it is the major oil producing area in sudan. it is therefore disputeded by both sides with the south wanting to control abyu. but also because much of the oil in the country is routed through the north. so it is a critical part of sudan. >> how high are the stakes if they can't get over the stumbling block? >> it is absolutely critical. they have over the civil war there was conflict. the conflict as we have currently seen. and if there is no agreement then we may see a return of civil war. amnesty international is saying
