border refugees are ideal waiting to cross into your. i heard the news and that's why i came. i want to go to europe. on the way for over $22.00 and a half hours. we were living in istanbul we want to go to greece the international community is scrambling to respond to these developments with the fate of these refugees still unknown. let's get more on the story now we can speak to military analyst pavel felgenhauer in moscow and correspondent yulia han in istanbul good to have you both yulia let's start with you there what more can you tell us about the latest developments. well we've seen a number of clashes that between takesh and russian backed syrian regime forces in

recent weeks and it led but from what we understand this airstrike a yesterday has caused the largest death toll for turkey in a single day since it 1st intervened in syria 4 years ago now turkey has been retaliating against syrian regime positions that's according to the presidential palace in there has been a national security meeting last night chaired by present themselves this gives you an idea of just how serious of an issue this is for turkey so there are no signs of backing down here from remember the present add on has given damascus a deadline to retreat to previously agree cease fire lines in the it live by the end of the months which is today or tomorrow there has been also a phone call as we understand between present to everyone and present protein with no immediate outcome they have reportedly agreed on setting up a top level meeting sooner or later but considering the situation on the ground

right now there are no signs that bush will back down that he will retreat so it's safe to assume that we are going to see rather more confrontation than less in the coming days so the situation in puzzle let's come to you in moscow now as we just heard there has apparently been this phone call between presidents area one and putin talking about the need to normalize the situation but at the same time russia is very clearly supporting the syrian government here is also sending additional warships to the region what message is moscow sending. well the message from moscow is be the same for the last. moments maybe a bit more and this is not the course the 1st time there. was you know where on the phone. from moscow saying that they had no terrorists threat and that

egypt should be dealt with and who is a terrorist they would decide the said together with the asset government and anyway this is a sovereign syrian territory and the syrian government internet which they believe is the legal syrian government or us that is free to do what it wishes on its own territory and should not be opposed by outside turkish forces so that's a guy so it's a basically state that would draw a patently in the talks that continued for some time between our russian answer to shed spares russian rules of new maps were put forward for redrawing the soco the escalation zone to take into account the late the successes of the syrian arab army the s.s. forces so cut a much smaller the area they don't not do not control the most likely leaving

a bit at that there is border still without the mostest control but these are all those are not good enough for the turks ok so you see i want to come back to you to ask you about the hundreds of thousands of people who are on the move here not just only fleeing the fighting in italy but also those refugees who are in turkey heading towards europe what does all of this mean for them. well 1st of all the hundreds of thousands of refugees currently stuck in it live near the turkish border staying there in the overcrowded refugee camps and the very very horrible conditions that these people for the time being will remain there because it because turkey has not opened its borders for these refugees what you also mentioned are refugees that are apparently currently on the move here in turkey towards europa turkish official told reporters last night that turkey will no

longer be able to stop the 4000000 refugees residing in cite turkey already from trying to reach europe and to we are seeing the consequences of this now there are t.v. images of people gathering at takis land border with greece and bulgaria people trying to move to the greek islands in boats and these of course are pictures that will cause quite some concern in europe they might also force europe to act when it comes to bring our correspondent yulia han in istanbul and our in moscow thank you both for joining us. here in germany the health ministry has confirmed almost 60 cases of the coronavirus that is a significant jump from just 16 at the beginning of the week at least 57 countries or territories have reported cases of the virus a short while ago authorities confirmed the 1st death of a british citizen a man who had been quarantined aboard a cruise ship anchored off japan south korea has seen

gallery to the public. streets. but 1st the court of arbitration for sport has found chinese swimmer son yang guilty of a serious doping offense and that he destroyed his own blood samples in 2018 the reigning olympic champion will now be banned for 8 years for breaking anti-doping roles most likely bringing an end to the 28 year old's international career. assuming young says he's innocent and the guilty verdict handed down by the court of arbitration for sport is unfair the chinese olympic swimming champion plans to appeal the decision to quote let more people know the truth the truth is young destroyed blood samples after testing authorities visited his home in 2018 young justification for doing so was based on the fact that some of the testers did not have proper accreditation young was supported by pheno the international governing

body for swimming who agreed the test was invalid but the anti-doping agency wada disagree and claim that destruction of samples is a form of tampering the court of arbitration for sport agreed with wada benny young for the maximum 8 years the athlete fails to establish that he had a compelling just if occasion to destroy his sample collection containers it was not for the athletes to decide alone but then i don't think tests shall be invalidated shyness would mean association continue to support young in his version of events despite the guilty verdict but for now china's greatest swimmer is out for 8 years a lifespan for many athletes and his peer australia's mac horton who refused to share the podium with young at the world championships has been vindicated for the stance he took in 2019. 0 it is it's insulation but it.

all right over to the berlin international film festival now belinelli where our correspondents i'm in s.f. and scott roxboro are down at the red carpet with the latest for us hi guys today you saw the last screenings of films in competition tell us a bit more about that. well the 1st one we saw this morning was a radiated cambodian documentary which is a kind of abstract collage of images of war the devastation of 4 it focuses on 2 things the nazi holocaust and also the atomic bombing of hiroshima and nagasaki in japan by the u.s. military it really shows a lot of these images some of the images that you have probably already seen from the holocaust and it's overlaid with french poetry to voices that are talking about evil a very hard film to get through i might say and it's by cambodian director richie pun who himself was born in cambodia and had to flee flee the camaro rouge and go

to paris and became a filmmaker there so a very political film to start off the day with and the the other film is just as political and also just as personal it's in a rainy and film there is no evil from mohamed. and this film it's interesting because just also how it was made. has been banned from filmmaking in iran he's actually been given a one year prison sentence for suppose a crimes against the state so he had to make this film entirely in secret and he did it by making this for short films and then combine them into one into one movie and submitting all his applications to the state in secret to using other people to do it for him the film itself though is a very direct look at iran and. how it is possible to live a moral life and then more in the moral society i think it's going to have a huge impact on people when it airs tonight at the premier all right well as

bonnie now is wrapping up you've had 9 days of films and stars and parties and what have been your personal highlights. you think i have time to go to parties who have been watching films like i got a party for you go tell it on the corner i'll talk about the films that you know i for me the highlight was this film down the tosh it came out of a. very controversial which we saw together hard film to get through so i don't know if i would use the word highlight but maybe the most traumatic experience later turned into something that i'm glad i had the film comes out of a very controversial project where russian director in the occurs and off ski made a replica set of a soviet era research institute in the ukraine and hired actors to stay there for up to 3 years and play the role sometimes without the cameras rolling so watching this film was somehow between a theater play a film a reality t.v. show an experience a nightmare and i think it really achieved something that i had never seen in film before so i'm going to say that's my yeah they're very very powerful but very very

disturbing i mean just quickly the parties there was an amazing party for a british movie about a pakistani british rapper called a mogul moakley playing a panorama phenomenal night but that's not really that that artistic experience for in terms of the films that we're showing here i pick a film out of competition which really blew me away it's a documentary about a pig called good into the pig and the movie and it's an amazing feat for a documentary because although it's a wildlife documentary if you know voiceover no music just the sound of the pigs and this couple chickens and a couple of cows and you spend an hour and a half with these animals and it's phenomenal it's beautiful it's funny it's heartbreaking definitely my pick of the festival ok that one's out of competition there are 18 films in competition you guys have seen all of them which ones do you think will win the golden bear. well as i said

on the top of was my highlight i don't think it will win the golden bear i don't know we might have a jury here that's willing to go the extra step and nominate a very controversial film but i think the film that we saw today iranian film there is no evil kind of checked all the boxes very political the courage of the filmmaker to make a few. like this and still be in iran where he can't leave that mixed with just his another film that's his classic kind of storytelling almost like a greek tragedy it was powerful i think the audience really liked it if it doesn't win the golden bear might win the audience award so i'm going to go with that one you know i think that's actually really good pick but i go for another one i think you can be the 1st time in 20 years when you see an american filmmaker when here in berlin my pick will be never rarely sometimes always by allies a hit man a very sort of small delicate movie about a young girl a teenager trying to get an abortion without a parent's permission who travels over a state borders with her cousin to try and get the nomination it's sounds like it

will be politically polemic it isn't it's a very delicate story that's really quietly devastating and i think again the combination of a political subject matter a really great movie and also i think also a female director could could put this one over the top but of course we'll see tomorrow when the awards are handed out right we'll see how those picks hold up scott roxboro and i mean as if at the red carpet thank you both. now rafael's tintoretto and are some of the names associated with one of dresses best known art collections the old masters gallery but for 7 years in museums has been closed for restoration now it will reopen its doors to the public on saturday. the sistine madonna headless in a dressed in living she was part of this billboard the dresden state art collections used while their old masters picture gallery was closed for renovations . now after 7 years of reconstruction and refer bish ments it's
