a month valent to return anyone who enters the country illegally now many migrants who have attempted to reach the e.u. are camped out in the turkish border province of a d.n.a. some are still hoping to cross into greece others plan to turn back. unable to cross into the e.u. a group of refugees returns exhausted to this parking lot near the greek turkish border crossing a cars are cool and. some haven't eaten all day. they did not expect to be stuck on the turkish side of the border they brought back photos of the front here zone which journalists cannot access one afghan refugee claims the greek police fired tear gas to push them back. kids or their families were there and everyone is panicking everybody is crying in a very difficult condition there's no support for the migrants. they've made a camp fire to keep warm many here traveled from afghanistan but they don't have

protected status in turkey and are hoping to reach the e.u. as soon as possible even though there is no guarantee of asylum there either. due to be on the view i want to study i want to live in peace here i'm no better off than i was back home no matter where we go people won't let us be. during the day groups of refugees arrive by bus load to a spot just down the road. it's unclear who arranged their transport this area is supposed to be a restricted zone but no turkish border police are here to enforce it. the migrants are attempting to cross the everest river on the other side lies greece. many of those who make it across are pushed back by the greek military. the greek soldiers take everything from you and your family even your food beating people and sending us back to turkey. those who didn't make it will have to sit

tight on the border despite the cold temperatures when the sun comes up they'll try again. so what is the european union's response to all of this let's go to our correspondent arena straus is standing by for us in brussels hi marina and this is a real crisis that we're talking about and greece has said very clearly this is not our problem alone to solve this is a european problem to solve so what is the e.u. doing. frontex the european border agency actually says that's received a call from the greek government to launch very fast intervention there. frontex told to w. and also wrote on twitter that they will look into that and see how they can help crease in the shortest time possible also the higher percentage of years that bordello has called for an emergency meeting of that you foreign ministers here in brussels this is likely to happen this week already maybe even in the coming days and there will be also there also be a meeting of the e.u.

interior ministers hoping mostly with migration reno what about the fact that greece is now said it is suspending asylum applications for a month which does not conform to european union law so what is that you saying about that the thing as you couldn't possibly accept that because everyone no matter who or he or she is or who arrives at the european soil has arrived to apply here for us for asylum and this is guaranteed by you asylum law but also by that you u.n. refugee convention this would be a clear breach of the law. what about the question of how united european union member states are on migration i mean are member states willing to take in migrants . it is quite likely that many member states many member states will take a hardline approach when it comes to taking migrants we've seen that in the last couple of years and there's no reason to believe that this will now chairs and of

course this will leave the burden to e.u. member says with external borders like bull garia like it's only like greece for example the thing is to me that in the 20 of his 152016 year migration crisis the e.u. has promised to find this common solution for this my question problem this that they will find the distribution mechanism but in 4 years i haven't been able to find a solution and this is mostly due to countries like poland and hungary who are not willing to take in my claims or the e.u. has also promised to speed up asylum application process but this is also not happening as we're looking at the greek islands for example take the comp morea unless of course the situation there many describe it is a living hell and this is happening in on the soil off the european union at the moment. due to these marina strauss reporting for us thank you.

now financial markets in asia have mostly steadied out today after a week where the corona virus outbreak triggered huge losses around the world the number of new cases reported by china has dropped sharply bust the epidemic is still spreading rapidly in other countries the total number of infections around the world now exceeds 89000 people was in 3000 have died indonesia and several other countries are reporting their 1st cases officials in italy the worst hit country in europe say the number of people infected with the virus jumped by 50 percent to nearly 1700. 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. i don't look to see the mona lisa that i mean but unfortunately still it's so i believe that point that 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 it all. in recent days the us 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 a lot of them are going to one of us our people are panicked a little under stress has 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. well the european union has

been presenting its response to the coronavirus crisis and teri schultz is following that story for us in brussels hi terry good to see you there is been a press conference what has been announced the european commission very much wants to give the appearance that while they are taking the a chronic infections very seriously everything that can be under control is under control so european commission president ursula vander line was flanked by 5 commissioners from the economy from home affairs crisis response transport and health and each one of them spoke to their own particular expertise but they said that the response overall is being coordinated under 3 main pillars and one is medical one is mobility and one is the economy now it's important to point out that each member state has its own crisis response and each one of them makes their own decisions so the commission is saying hey count us a count on us for

a certain amount of of cordon nation but we don't make the decisions for member states they also wanted to date the figures on infections there are now 210-2100 confirmed cases across 18 member states and 30 deaths terry what is at stake here for the e.u. . economics commissioner he said the stakes are very high economically he said that early expectations that there would be a fast drop followed by a fast recovery may have been too optimistic because we certainly don't know that we've seen the end of it yet that there's any containment in sight yet b. and of course he spoke about the fact that when china is suffering something like this of course it impacts the european union and that's not the only place you have a lot of very worried citizens and each commissioner said in their own way don't panic but you have a lot of travelers who are either having their flights canceled or canceling the

flights themselves in there are a lot of questions about what kind of compensation might be might be available and it looks like this is going to be one of those sort of acts of god situations where you're not going to get compensation so there were a lot of questions at this press conference that went on almost an hour and there will be many more questions to come but the main message right now is don't panic we've got our we've got control of everything that can be under control and we're watching very carefully and there is now a new web site where people can can get all of the up to date information from the european commission correspondent terry shuls reporting there for us from brussels terry good to talk to you. let's get a read about some other stories making news around the world japan says it is working closely with the u.s. and south korea after north korea fired 2 short range missiles into its eastern sea the launches were the 1st since november and traveled a distance of around 250 kilometers south korea says it is monitoring for

additional missile tests. people to judge has ended his campaign for the u.s. democratic presidential nomination the former mayor of south bend indiana had a disappointing performance in south carolina's primary on saturday his decision comes just before super tuesday when 14 states go to the polls in a contest that could produce a clear frontrunner. or scenes of panic at a shopping mall in the philippines where a man has been shot and wounded and about 30 people taken hostage police say the gunman is a disgruntled security guard heavily armed police have entered the building near manila and they go shaders are trying to end the standoff peacefully. dozens of people have been arrested during protests in kazakhstan over the death of an anti-government activists in police custody opposition leaders called the demonstrations after do a lot of god died last month in a jail cell authorities say he suffered heart failure. now over the weekend the u.s. and the taliban signed a long ago shaded agreement to end the war in afghanistan but it's already run into

trouble afghanistan's president ghani says his government has not pledged to release thousands of taliban prisoners even though that was part of the deal. these signatures given at a historic summit in qatar as capital doha milestone on afghanistan is road to peace after almost 20 years of war. i think 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 us to decide. now when that would be better you know 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 that and other officials with 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. my demand for instance. for many afghans the hope of an end to the violence is tempered by fears for their country's future . but you don't think that you know if the us leaves afghanistan we afghans are worried about a return to the brutal situation that the taliban will start their attacks again. so we call on the taliban to sign the peace deal with the afghan government as soon as possible and i'm inside just about. women and girls especially suffered severe repression under taliban rule. kabul veterinarian tara rezaei is worried about the threat to women's progress if the group we gain strength through talks with the

government. i don't feel very optimistic because i don't know who will come to power if there is 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. 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. now is spent 7 years since the gang rape and murder of a 23 year old woman on a bus in the indian capital delhi the story made international headlines and sparked massive protests 4 men were convicted of the crime they're due to be executed in just a few hours the case led to a tightening of the country's rape laws and set off a nationwide conversation about violence against women more women are reporting assaults and fighting to improve support for victims but some are asking what about

the men did have you met a group that is trying to shift the focus. this is not a usual school day for 7th grader saying. the questions he is being asked are more open ended than usual a man should have to final say in every decision made in the house the trainer says he has to choose do you agree do you disagree or are you on the side of. the 12 year old boys run to their corners. one group says both parents should have equal say. a few other 3 of the older wiser one should hesitantly indicating the man. there are no wrong answers. the goal of the session is to provide an open platform to talk about the notions of sex and gender that these boys have grown up with topics that are rarely brought. the trainer follows up the simple question.

is bearing children the only role of a woman. is it physically possible for women to do the work that men do. ajeet has been attending the sessions for 3 months now he says he has learned a lot about the importance of equality at home at work and in school. i want to tell my father that he should never be evolved with my mother and i can do my share of the chores at home just like my sister. got there so i was up there . this is what the center for equal to going to include the n.g. or the drunks the sessions is hoping for. that engaging boys and this each will encourage empathy and respect in the long run. i'd like to model that like today the boys are talking about the unpaid work of their mothers the need for women to participate in decision making and for men to help out at home and this is an important 1st step. change will be an uphill task while many men and women rallied

to strengthen india's laws on rape there has been a backlash by those why would that the new rules now discriminate against men these . men are being wrongfully accused under these. but it's like there's a women's commission here we need a men's commission to let the. new rules are good but they're very often misused in most cases the women take on jew advantage. in my life and the. even those who are innocent is sometimes held at fault there needs to be stronger investigations and protections for men but in. the us was them starts only. as the boys and girls keep to themselves. their notions of the other can be heavily biased. in another school the workshops are just beginning the boys

are calling out the differences between men and women men can wear what they like women must come home on time men can endure more pain women don't enter politics. between our thoughts but if the woman physically unable to do any of these things. slowly but surely the perceived differences are starting to disappear you know. you're watching news still to come on our show in the bundesliga like 6 were hoping to come to the gala to leaders byron to a point but it did not go as planned. but 1st voting is underway in israel's 3rd election within a year as the country tries to end a political impasse center left opposition leader benny gantz cast his vote in what polls show was a neck and neck race he is challenging conservative prime minister benjamin netanyahu who is due to stand trial later this month over

a series of corruption scandals the previous 2 elections were inconclusive neither side won enough seats to form a government. and let's speak now to gil hoffman he's the chief political correspondent at the jerusalem post newspaper kill thank you for joining us so what are the chances that this election will finally break israel's political deadlock. it's quite unlikely at this point benjamin netanyahu would have to pull off a very impressive victory he would have to get a majority for his right wing block excluding the people in the bloc that don't want to be the prime minister because of his corruption charges there's he's run a very smart campaign i've been following him around i've seen how his grassroots is very motivated but it's would still be extremely difficult it's remarkable that this is israel's 3rd general election in a year i mean what are voters saying are they fatigue that's entire process are they frustrated. you know i thought they were after the 1st election i

wrote on the cover of my newspaper the day of the 2nd election lowest turnout ever expected and i was wrong the turnout ended up being relatively high and waited almost 70 percent the turnout went up so while i definitely feel the fatigue of people we could end up having the same 70 percent turnout despite that because people realize that there are very important issues on the line and no matter who wins this election we're going to have a peace process right after the election efforts to solve the israeli palestinian conflict it's very serious what about the fact that the prime minister is about to stand trial on corruption charges i mean how does that affect today's vote. well there are people who would be quite humiliated to have a prime minister on trial and because of that they will be voting for him it's in the out so that will definitely be a factor in how people vote then there are people who consider the the charges

against him frivolous or a witch hunt much like the supporters of donald trump were in the united states and they will vote for him anyway and what about benny gantz his chances i mean how has what is his message been to voters. his meshes has been to voters that way you can have a former general like him keep the citizens of israel safe and secure while also being clean that it's time to after 10 years in a row 14 years in total that being prime minister to give somebody else a chance and that he's assembled the right team to be able to do it to run the country better and and to put the citizens 1st and himself. and i just want to throw this for and what happens if after this election it is inconclusive once again what happens then. the problem all along has been that the politicians have not been lying during the campaign they said i would sit with him i won't sit with her and after the campaign we thought they would break

their promises and they didn't know the hope is that they would be such outrage at the prospect of a 4th election that they would break those campaign promises that somebody would finally compromise and give it if they don't we are going to a 4th election and maybe a 5th and maybe a 27th but god forbid hoffman of the jerusalem post chief political correspondent thank you for joining us. for it's now in the bundesliga rb light sic lost ground in the title chase after a one all draw at home to buy a liver and light sequel main 2nd to in the table but they're now 3 points behind leaders. white 6 fans believe it's their year to win the title when they were pumped up for this top of the table clash with lever cousy. hobbits and company had the better momentum coming in with a 6 game winning streak plus events you can europe. for t.-mo vana and the home
