country is hosting 4000000 refugees 3 and a half 1000000 from syrian civil war and a half a 1000000 from conflicts from the region and it says despite hosting such a huge number of people the support it's getting from the international community has been very little and it says that he simply cannot host anymore refugees and he says those who want to leave are free to do so tell us more about the people caught up in this conflict in this international power play the migrants who are trying to cross into the who are languishing there in turkey well they are from all across the region you have people from afghanistan or iraq even from various countries across africa are part of this thousands of people that are believed now to be on the greek. and of course you have syrians as well

and this just underscores how important a country turkey is to hosting the regions are refugees and white ciena so important to controlling those people leaving the country but. it cannot host these people anymore and there are expect to be growing numbers of refugees heading towards the border as clear it's not going to change its policy and this will and concerns among the humanitarian groups of the conditions they are facing it is still winter it's freezing at night many of the people there are families who have young children even concerned about feeding these people what are they going to do for sanitation as the numbers are expected to build up in the coming days ahead. now turkey is already hosting over $3000000.00 refugees from the syrian conflict as you mentioned dorrian more on the way is any progress being made in deescalating that conflict in syria well that's the thing that turkey will be

a year polls show prime minister binyamin netanyahu and his center left challenger benny gantz running neck and neck. 2 elections held last year ended in conclusively with neither side winning enough seats to form a government. as of now who is due to stand trial later this month the receiver is of corruption scandals the w.'s tanya kramer sent us this report from israel. young student activists campaigning for the right wing likud party on a university campus in jerusalem they want to see benjamin or bibi netanyahu form the next coalition government and end the ongoing political stalemate. yes or sharply what and this is a sense that the election is about yes unknown to bibi i would like to see the election dealing more with ideological content and political messages but politics as politics carry over to their credit because they're part of pick out the elections

a rerun of benyamin netanyahu versus benny gantz and the polls are predicting almost the same outcome as the previous 2 ballots last year. there's also some election fatigue in the air in the last few days before the election the threat of the coronavirus has made more headlines in the israeli media than the upcoming vote . the main issue is that we are going without a government for a year now the country is dysfunctioning the knesset the israeli parliament is out of order nothing works and obviously people wants to put dispirited behind them and move forward to have a government that will can work for the israeli people to remain prime minister netanyahu needs to win back the so-called magician of israeli politics has made one election pledge after another yannick sation of parts of the west bank based on trump's middle east plan a new settlement housing all to cater to this hardline nationalist voter base.

his opponent benny gantz has made netanyahu has indictments and upcoming trial over corruption charges and election issue but also his center left bloc is unlikely to net as a clear. band of minutes there is no real winner here we just need bibi to leave and say thank you very much i was a great prime minister i finished my job he can reach an agreement that he will not be judged on what he has done and he can go home. so do i think metheny always the best person or if no but he is the best man for the job right now in 2020 and i voted for in the last 2 stalemate over form again i don't give voting because every vote counts every vote counts but every word counts in this repeated action and it remains to be seen whether israeli sources see a clear path to a new coalition government after the polls. this weekend u.s. and the taliban signed a long negotiated agreement to end the war in afghanistan but it's already hit

a rough patch afghanistan's president says his government has not pledged to release stuff. thousands of taliban prisoners despite that being part of the deal. these signatures given at a historic summit in qatar as capital doha are milestone on afghanistan's road to peace after almost 20 years of war. but that road was always going to be rocky under the deal the afghan government will release thousands of taliban prisoners ahead of talks between afghan factions but afghanistan's president ashraf ghani said his government never agreed to that and it wasn't for the u.s. to decide. now where that would be better you know no commitment has been made for the release of 5000 prisoners. we have repeatedly said this issue clearly with the

u.s. envoy that's out of my colleagues out and other officials with that mommy this is the legitimate right and self-determination of the people of afghanistan. a request has been made and it can be part of the negotiation but it cannot be a precondition yet the madam afghanistan's. for many afghans the hope of an end to the violence is tempered by fears for their country's future . but they don't think that you know if the u.s. leaves afghanistan we afghans are worried about a return to the brutal situation that the taliban will stop their attacks again. so we call on the taliban to sign the peace deal with the afghan government as soon as possible that i'm in talking about. women and girls especially suffered severe repression under taliban rule. kabul veterinarian ta is worried about the threat to women's progress if the group we gain strength through talks with the government.

film i don't feel very optimistic because i don't know who will come to power if there's peace with the taliban. looking at their history i feel less hopeful that i'll be able to continue my work if there is peace with the taliban war. it's now a waiting game to see how talks between different afghan groups play out following saturday's deal. like reside people here hope they won't have to pay for peace with their freedom. earlier i spoke to kofi in kabul a former member of the afghan parliament and one of the few women who took part in the negotiations aimed at bringing an end to 2 decades of conflict i asked her she's satisfied with the outcome of the talks. well people in afghanistan including myself we are cautiously optimistic i'm saying cautiously optimistic because 1st of

all it is the beginning of an important process where the afghan islamic republic and then the taliban have to really set in few days. we're hoping as it's agreed to mention and the taliban and the united states even we have to set in few days and discuss those issues the people of afghanistan are worried about discuss about women's rights rights the future of the government where everyone will feel included and then in the meantime we we are. optimistic because this is a beginning of a big process but we are cautious because. there has not really been a major steps by taliban to both trust and to demonstrate that they are that they have changed that they will not come back as they were doing afghanistan during

996 that they are committed to the. demands of people of afghanistan. 8 and also we are cautious because that is also. not a strong. islamic republic delegation has to be really inclusive we have to start preparation for. you know kind of making of. yes i just wanted to ask you this very important point that in the story right now president for afghanis says his government has not pledged to release thousands of taliban prisoners even the that's part of the deal that the americans apparently have made with the taliban does it put this deal in jeopardy. oh i see the this these initially was that there was less involvement from islamic republic office including the government and the political community to be part of this to make sure that this step is agreed upon and then it becomes practical and it becomes you know something that could be apply. so therefore i think the 1st

challenge now is 5 up to 5000 taliban prisoners i take no just because we also have very high 5000 taliban you know the ones who actually not should not go back to the battlefield should not use their you know weakens again against the got the people of afghanistan how do you fight a fight that how do you you know kind of make that distinction to dillies the taliban that have not been really involved and major crime including suicide bombing so i think this is a challenge just because you but also politically because the last hold up on this very clear i mean yes probably inside afghanistan we have different views and because views are just only under islamic republic when it comes to taliban we have to really respect the laws of a planet on for that i think this is that this is a commitment that needs a lot of time a lot of discussion and a lot of there is a lot of issues about it ok so many issues remain of kofi member of the afghan

parliament thank you so much for talking with us this morning. you're watching t.v. news still to come more problems in the bundesliga as offensive banners in the stands another game also brings the best of sunday's on field. luxembourg has become the 1st country in the world to offer free public transport the aim is to cut down on pollution and traffic jams but critics don't know whether the transport system is up to the job. you just get on and off without buying a ticket ticket machines are being removed counters closed and inspectors given other jobs the move is expected to cost some $41000000.00 euro z yeah paid for with tax receipts as well as the 600000 luxemburg has the hope is that more than 200000

commuters from france belgium and germany will leave their cars a turbo opinion is divided. why should it be this you have a ticket from france which costs 99 euro that anon and that'll be 40 euros cheaper and that's great. the money has to come back to the states somehow so it'll be taken from somewhere else people will have to pay more tax or higher fuel duties. social and environmental factors may be driving the transport revolution but there are also practical considerations on weekdays luxemburg is tricked by traffic jams the grand duchy has one of the highest rates of car ownership in the world. because we cannot go on developing urban spaces the way we did in the last century that has put us in a tight spot urban spaces everywhere are clogged up and that includes look sumburgh . experts say free public transport is just

a start by making it more accessible make it faster and so forth on the other side we have negative incentives making driving very challenging making driving very expensive eliminating parking spots luxembourg's investing $600.00 euros per capita in rail infrastructure in germany that figure is less than 70 a rose per person. in the biggest army leipsic lost ground in the title chase after a one on. well drawled at home too by only because the lights that remain 2nd in the table but there are now 3 points behind leaders bind meaning. white sick fades believe it's their year to win the title and they were pumped up for this top of the table clash with lever cousy. chi hobbits and company had the better momentum coming in with

a 6 game winning streak plus events you can europe. for t.-mo vanno and the home sites title ambitions to remain tangible they needed maximum points especially being at home but it was leon bailey who needed for the visitors in the 29th minute laver cruises the demon mary intercepted a bad pass did the leg work and found chi habits who set up the leap from point blank range his 5th goal this season. life's it didn't need long to respond and were helped by a mary who took down vanna setting up a free kick and christopher own cuckoo didn't waste it finding patrick shakoor level to score with the beautiful header that was just out of her debts he's reached by. after the break life's it had a good look then a touch pass to cuckoo but prevents keep since not this time it prevents what could have been the game winner. with 2 minutes to go live 6 marcel sabates ahead too

much on it from outside the box missing another chance to score remain the same until the end of life 6 share the spoils with leverkusen with an evenly matched draw. meanwhile on your own balance game with sport was stalled after when young fans targeted hoffenheim owner di hall with offensive banners there was a latest in a series of weekend protests against all fans are critical of how the billionaire has circumvented rules preventing clubs falling under when surety ownership. neons christian can now was on it ahead of his 400 sprint as league appearance by lynn is hoping his experience can inspire their push for an unlikely european sports venue on when to head against the run of play and it's height fast tough by sebastian anderson bravely heading home before being cleaned out for i will spare
