i'm rebecca has welcome to the program government forces a launching an all out offensive against the last rebel held territory in syria and people on the ground are expecting a surge of fighting ground troops have been advancing on it live under the cover of syrian and russian airstrikes the offensive monks' an end to the 9 month safe cease fire that started last september backed by russia and turkey it's the biggest escalation of violence since the summer of last year. this footage purportedly shows the aftermath of a syrian government air raid in adlib the volunteer races to rescue injured children from the rubble observers are warning that the battle for the region could have a terrible humanitarian toll it live is the last rebel stronghold with some 3000000

people packed together in close quarters rights groups say the effects of the battle will be felt across the world. the displaced people will soon move towards other countries they have potential refugees if the status quo continues. the european union and the whole world will be suffering a new wave of refugees shots on the borders of many countries around the world they are already considered dead in italy so they have nothing to lose. you know the truce was brokered between russia and turkey to support opposing sides in the war the u.n. insists it's pushing both to that here to the ceasefire we are strongly encouraging both russia and turkey to continue working together and to make sure that disagreement is stan being implemented on the ground so this is what i am continuing to hearing but of course we need to see it as i said to be implemented.

russian and turkish leaders are scheduled to hold talks on the sidelines of the g. 20 summit at the end of june the fate of the ad lib tied to their fragile relationship. let's get more now from 2 yards and he's with the aid agency care international and joins me from gaza and in turkey just across the syrian border to we thanks for joining me what will can you tell us about the situation in live at the moment. i think it's fair to say that it's a very dramatic situation is that at the moment the last month has seen significant high levels of violence air shelling means use of barrel bombs and it is forests what the u.n. has missed the more than 270000 people on the move. we've had hope that the orphans it was of slow down as political pressure will go up for it for a political solution but that has not happened and so now we are extremely nervous that you see a lot higher numbers of displaced the north was very bored is it safe for aid

agencies like yours to work in and around it let. the short answer is no. it is probably one of the most dangerous places in the world to conduct military aid work at the moment we've seen hospitals and health facilities being directly targeted as well as indirectly affected by the markets we've seen schools being evicted we've seen water stations be affected the scene and millions is shot at it is extremely dangerous and care continue to call for all body to the conflict to respect and wish and communitarian go into do everything they can to prevent the targeting of humanitarian workers and civilians in the conflict in that report we had that n.g.o.s and warning of quote new waves of refugees fleeing from it live towards places like europe do you share that concern. thing is difficult to predict where people will hit i think it's important to remember most of all right now that syria the neighboring countries of syria right now hosting more than 5300000

refugees that they've taken a tremendous responsibility on both the lyrically and economic it of all those refugees in care we call for international community to share that responsibility we need to continue to support those countries to provide services that are important for the syrian cities but also state responsibility terms of asylum seekers and welcoming a responsible share of people needing to have protection as i said neighboring countries bearing a lot of the brunt that a turkey being one of them is taking prepared to take in more refugees we don't know i think it's important to remember that turkey is the big deals in country in the world right now in care operates in turkey we're trying to support the syrian community here as best as we can but obviously no country in the world is ready to take in the 3000000 people through being hosted living in italy so the only solution to the good situation is not the turbulence of the borders it's that the

violence is going to stop and that's a political solution to what has been a safe fire in the region for a couple of months why do you think it's falling apart now you know it's difficult to to be behind the scenes that i think it's important to remember that it is the last rebel stronghold of all known for since last year that the syrian government had intentions to take back the syrian military is no big surprise the ceasefire has been in place but it was contingent on its political process that would have produced the results those results of law come through in our senior russian syrian government putting pressure back on the kitchen table unfortunately very significant civilian consequences as was all. have some home care international thanks very much for joining me. liverpool have been crowned champions of european football after defeating tuckman hotspurs 2 nil in an english final in madrid goals from mohammed salah and evoke

a region secured victory as liverpool coach ewen plump toast tasted your of him glory for the 1st time after losing the final last year. pablo foley is from data is there watching the game in madrid pavlo big game now did it live up to the hype . hi rebecca you're absolutely right it was a massive game and you can say lived up to the home to a certain degree it wasn't the most exciting champions league final although liverpool fans will probably disagree with what i have to say of course as you mention 2 goals there most sila practically within the 1st couple of minutes of the game and that was a penalty and then thanks to s.c. soco and then our own most at the end of the game only she made it to gold set to nail who are liverpool and let's not forget that they're in madrid now they will stick as madrid last time round so it's obviously a great result for them very disappointing for spurs fans but here in madrid i'm

sure it's going to be a long night of celebrations for all those liverpool fans yeah very sweet victory for liverpool in danger and sweet victory for their coach here you can call pasta losing the final last year. that's right not just last year let's not forget that this is i will call it 7th time lucky back up because he's actually made it into the final of the european cook and i won 7 occasions and finally he manages to win of course he was the coach indorsement on that liverpool so i'm sure they're going to be looking to have what material they should be making his statue of in liverpool. fans looking very excited there as he mentioned madrid going wild tonight what's plan. what's planned well this is never been to be driven it's a time that certainly knows how to party on it's a lovely warm evening here the liverpool fans have been watching the game and in

the bars scattered around the center of the confidence beginning to come out onto the streets and of course all those funds are right in the stadium will be coming back in at some point and i'm standing very close to steve ellis now this is where real madrid normally celebrate it will be interesting to see whether those liverpool fans come down here and celebrate in style like all the people here madrid know how to a city that. well used to european cup finals and of course celebrating those big european nights of football so a great result for liverpool finally at their 60 european cup congratulations to them and commiserations to wear all those spurs fans moan paolo foley alias in madrid don't cotton to holland thank you. thanks rebecca. and to the growing debate in germany over anti semitism now with 2 groups of demonstrations came face to face here in berlin today the anti israel could stay protest which opposes israeli control of jerusalem was met by hundreds of pro

israel demonstrators datable a reporter kate brady was there. the same procedure as every year since the 1980 s. al could stay has been marked in germany with an anti israel demonstration. but critics deem it as anti semitic with reports of far right extremists radical islamic groups and holocaust deniers also among the crowd participants see it differently. we're not protesting against jews or judaism but against israel and against zionism the home is here why am i here because i think it's from the palestine it's gone it's our rights to defend palestine and this is always our list and tell us you know it's about that. in response to the annual protest germany's anti semitism commission a call for all germans to take to the streets in solidarity with jews and israel some protesters jews and non jews a keeper they see as protest was made all the most significant after a reported increase in anti-semitic crimes measure them my aim is to end all this

against the jews since they are no longer targeted i think it's a disgrace for germany. we want to make a clear statement against stay every year as they march through berlin and spread their anti-semitic and empty zionist slogans. so members of the jewish community was skeptical of the pro israel protest in general supporting palestinian rights and criticizing the state of israel and holding the state of israel accountable for its actions is in no way anticipate eric and i'm actually quite offended when. people make that conflation between anti-semitism and criticism of israel. these demonstrations here in berlin i just a small part of a much wider and much more complicated discussion and debate going on in germany right now concerning the issue of anti-semitism and how it should best be tackled

not an easy task given the tangled complicated web not only of culture and religion but of history and international politics. the german aid organizations say watch says one of its ships confiscated by italian authorities has been allowed to set sail again the civilian rescue ship sea watch 3 same here in phone pictures was impounded on may 25th after it rescued dozens of migrants near the libyan coast and tried to take them to italy italy's populist interior minister mikhail salvini initially refused to let much later they were allowed to disembark at the island of lampedusa where the ship the safest. on to the u.s. where privilege will has been held for the victims of the mass shooting in the state of virginia 12 people died after a disgruntled city employee shot his coworkers in a government office 4 people were wounded and are still in hospital the suspect himself was also killed after a prolonged gun battle with police he's been described as a 40 year old engineer with the city of virginia beach as public utilities
