a huge number of people the support is 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 believe 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's clear that it

cannot host these people anymore and there are expect to be growing numbers of refugees heading towards the border as makes 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 with 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 looking for it's looking for international support face military operation inside if this is main this is much more as aimed at the european union but the nato members within the european union who are

looking for to support his call for military support in tikrit appointment of anti aircraft missiles patriot missiles that is what i want to support of this military operation because it says unless that operation succeeds and makes the region of it leave stable turkey will face one and a half possibly 2000000 more refugees and i'm chris says that's not only turkey's problem that will be europe's problem dorian thank you very much correspondent dorian jones there in is some. financial markets in asia mostly studied early monday after a week in which the corona virus outbreak caused huge losses around the world the number of new cases reported by china has dropped sharply but the epidemic is still spreading rapidly in other countries the total number of infections around the world now exceeds $89000.00 people more than $3000.00 have died indonesia and several other countries reporting their 1st cases officials in italy the worst hit country in europe said the number of people infected with the virus jumped by 50

percent to nearly 700. not a tourist in sight the canals of venice without its famous. no sound of fans cheering in milan's football stadium either across italy 5 major matches have been postponed due to the corona virus. as new infections climbed dramatically in europe's worst hit country the italian government is imposing more drastic measures army checkpoints control quarantine areas in some regions and emergency aid has been promised to the sectors hardest hit by the rapid spread of the virus. in france tourists line up outside the world's most visited museum the louvre on sunday in vain they were not allowed in the building after the museum staff voted to keep its doors shut due to fears of contamination from the flow of tourists.

to look to see the mona lisa. wayne but unfortunately skills so i'm a bit disappointed there the french government has banned gatherings of more than 5000 people closing down trade fairs and large sporting events even though a half marathon in paris was officially called off hundreds of runners defied the ban and ran the full course. come off the side signed up to take part in the marathon and since i had nothing to do this morning i thought i might as well go and run it was my goal and if i can do it why not we have to stop all this paranoia with what's happening now we have to keep things in perspective it's just as well from what it says you know. in recent days the u.s. australia and thailand have reported the 1st deaths on their soil but with more than 50 deaths iran has the world's highest toll outside of china the epidemic is impacting businesses and daily life and shaking the country's already struggling

economy the motherhood of us our people are panicked a little under stress is led to a drop in sales people have also become more hygiene obsessed and buy less for. from bakeries restaurants and caterers. as markets around the globe take a hit some countries are more vulnerable than others. and our political correspondent nina following the corona virus outbreak here in germany nina coded 19 is spreading worldwide germany is also affected how is this country dealing with it well by sunday night some 130 people here in germany have been infected with the virus it's now present in 10 out of the 16 federal states that we have here in germany including the most populous one from this fadia and the capital beilin and there have been cases where when the virus was detected people were asked to stay

at home for a brief period of time schools and companies kindergartens have taken similar measures overall the response i would have to say is levelheaded there's widespread awareness but there's no panic and there is generally a sense where germans are saying if i have to stay home for a longer period of time i have to stock myself at home so there has been a report of hoarding behavior in some supermarkets and actually supermarkets here in berlin in front of reported increase in sales of between 30 and 40 percent but that's probably because germans are a nation of expect the west and hope for the best so what is the government's strategy and handling this crisis nina. there's a daily meeting of a special task force that involves the robert koch institute that is the government body that's in charge of public health and disease prevention and they give

a daily briefing to journalists a detailed briefing here in berlin and doctors receive daily updates from the health ministry so again officials have also reacted with a level headed approach and there is no panic there is also not a sense of we need to close our borders even though germany has borders with 9 other european countries so there is no pandemic plan there's no preparation to prepare for the virus as a pet pandemic seriously but of course german officials are a bit worried about a potential dip in the economy and that is being looked at very closely but again no special plan in sight as of now been to thank you very much political correspondent nina. some of the other stories making headlines around the world today dozens of people have been arrested during protests in kazakhstan over

begun in israel's 3rd alexion in less than 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 a new is due to stand trial later this month over a series of corruption scandals you don't use tanya kramer said as 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 toyshop what in your there's a sense that the election is about yes unknown to bibi i would like to see the election dealing with ideological content and political messages but politics as politics carry over today appointed because they're part of the couch 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 the enix ation 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 as a clear the no. bad enough minutes there is no real renee 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 methanol is 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 still made although form again i don't give voting because every vote counts every vote counts what every what counts in this repeat election it remains to be seen whether israelis will see a clear path to a new coalition government after the polls. this week in the u.s. and the taliban signed a long ago sheeted agreement to end the war in afghanistan but it's already had

a rough patch afghanistan's president afghan gunnies says his government has not pledged to release thousands of taliban prisoners despite that being part of the deal. these signatures given at a historic summit in qatar as capital doha milestone on afghanistan. it'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 $5000.00 prisoners more but we have repeatedly said this issue

clearly with the u.s. envoy that's out of my colleagues out and other officials 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 for that are getting the might of the muslim states. for many afghans the hope of an end to the violence is tempered by fears for their country's future. but they're doubting that you know if the us leaves afghanistan we have guns 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 talk about. women and girls especially suffered severe repression under taliban rule. kabul veterinarian toher is worried about the threat to women's progress if the group we gain strength through talks with the government

. still alive don't feel very optimistic because i don't know who will come to power if there's peace with the taliban. they're looking at their history i feel less hopeful that i'll be able to continue my work if there is peace with the taliban the war will come. 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. a short while ago i spoke to father koofi in kabul she's a former member of the afghan parliament and one of the few women who took part in the go she ations aimed at bringing it into 2 decades of conflict i asked her if she's satisfied with the outcome 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 have been in 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 try 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 there's a very important point that in the story right now president afghani says his government has not pledged to release thousands of taliban prisoners even the part of the deal that the americans apparently have made with the taliban does it put this deal in jeopardy. oh i get. this these initially was that there was less involvement from islamic republic of france thank you i think 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

a fly. so therefore i think the 1st challenge now is 5 up to 5000 taliban prisoners i take you know just because we need also to very 5 would that affect the 5000 taliban you know the ones who actually not should not go back to the battlefield should not use their you know we can say again against the got the people of afghanistan how do you body 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 are very clear i mean yes probably inside afghanistan we have different views and views are just only under islamic republic when it comes to taliban we have to really respect the laws of the 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 a denny's a lot of issues about it. that was kofi in kabul

a former member of the afghan parliament you're watching g.w. news still to come in the bundesliga barbee like saying we're going to come together to leaders via you to a point but it didn't go to play and say to. luxembourg has become the 1st country in the world to offer free public transport the aim is cut down on pollution and traffic jams but critics don't 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 euros a year paid for with tax receipts as well as the 600000 luxembourg has the hope is that more than 200000 commuters from france belgium and germany will leave their

cars at home in his divided. why should be this i have a ticket from france which costs 99 euro that i'm on and that'll be 40 euros cheaper and that's great. for. 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 district by traffic jams the grand duchy has one of the highest rates of car ownership in the world. if you can and 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
