a major offensive. and hitting it off with the locals at a venue long associated with irish nationalism on their 1st official trip to ireland britain's prince william and kate in gaul. i'm brian thomas great to have you with us for the show today germany's foreign minister is saying that turkey must comply with the terms of the 2016 migration deal that calls for a to stop migrants from crossing from its territory into the u. now this comes after turkey deployed special police to block the return of any migrants who've illegally entered the you greek police have been forcing such

migrants back into turkey after they break through that country's border defenses. faces of despair thousands of refugees have gathered on the border the focus on the turkish town of a day and many are forced to camp out in the open some of these people have been displaced by the long running conflict in syria it is in europe you can work there are jobs you get a decent salary the kids can go to school you can lead a normal human life that's all i want. or that i made it to the great side then i took my phone my money took my clothes off my beat me and sent me back to turkey this is just wrong and money get me. we want to be able to breathe freely when i was 12 years old i had to leave school my parents were killed in the war. others have come from afghanistan and pakistan they find shelter where they can

dozens crammed into this abandoned past station turkey's president has carried out his threat to open the border to europe if nature did not back his military operation in northern syria. the red crescent and red cross helping out where they can on the ground handing out food and water and providing basic shelter. yet ready to do what they needed to restore dignity which was missing in this moment if you can before the. middle of the game we are ready to do whatever is necessary to provide dignity to be. stuck. in. ankara for its part is determined that those who do make it across to greece will not be sent back into turkish territory. $40000.00 special forces officers are being deployed to the river on the border fully equipped to prevent

people being pushed back. greece is equally determined to prevent a flood of new arrivals the authorities say some 35000 migrants have tried to cross illegally into greek territory in the past week athens insists those he reaches shore oil will be deported we have team coverage of this story this morning with did you correspondent you're on the turkish side of the border and we have did abuse max sander for us he's on the greek side today to both of you what's the situation where you are this morning i mean that's how an all of a deer in a few kilometers away from turkey's border with the grease and in this area here right behind me yesterday there were about 200 people mostly families with small children from syria from

a fantasist and they were determined they told us to stay the night they were determined to stay here and wait for that chance to cross into greece but now as you can see if this area is completely empty we were surprised to see that when we arrived earlier today i've been trying to talk to some police officers here of course and not very willing to talk to his journalists but one officer told me people were being brought away from this area he said they were being sent in buses to the cooler border crossing the main border crossing between tuckey and greasy or other sources say people were being sent back to stumble in buses but that's very representative of the situation here at the border it's very difficult to understand what's happening where people are being taken but it seems this is something to actual thirty's here are trying to control a lack of clarity on the turkish side of the poor

a max what's happening where you are today. well we have a similar situation here brian there's also a lack of clarity there's a very little information that's being provided to us by the greek authorities by the greek security forces only very few hard facts come out and they are very difficult to verify now we've been told as we also heard in the report that roughly 35000 people were prevented from from entering greece it prevented by greek security forces these people can mostly from pox on earth coniston so people are countries. where in normal conditions people would or in general people would not be able to actually claim asylum in the european union so very few serious people who want to normal conditions would be able to claim asylum in the u. but as i said it's very difficult to verify these numbers there's very little information out there and this is where i'm standing right now actually here just

roughly a few 100 meters away from the border crossing this is the closest we can get to to any of the action and this is all that we actually can you can see in with us from here on the ground max we have seen the video of the of the greek police pushing migrants that they detain on greek territory back into a turkey are they still doing that as is that is what happened is happening with the turkish police once they do arrest margarines are they sending them back into turkey today and in the past few days. all the greek authorities as i said don't really comment on the situation they certainly would not admit to any illegal pushbacks but if you look at the numbers that are coming out 35000 and even more people who were prevented from entering greece at the same time only $250.00. people roughly.

made it who slipped into greece and so you see a very very big difference in numbers here these people are according to authorities being brought to 2 different prisons there should be a trial that they should sent back or they have no right to claim asylum as greece has stopped all asylum procedures for a month at the moment but there have been allegations passed yes that's true that greece in. illegally pushed back many many migrants throughout the last few years and there are reports that this might be the case now even yulia where you are is there any indication that the turkish forces there the turkish authorities are preparing for the arrival of more refugees you've said that and we've seen the empty location behind you that the ones who are there have been moved on but is there the indication that more could be heading to the greek border area. well there is no official information on the

that we saw small groups of people still arriving yesterday they were trying to make it to the border because as. surprising as may sound some people still cling to this sliver of hope that will open this border. now what the turkish official stats here is right now is that this land border to border with remains open which essentially means that the refugee deal the 26th. with a brussels is off the table it's basically not existing anymore here but we are seeing brussels and anger and now trading blame for the situation and basically accusing each other of not upholding their respective commitments so it's going to be interesting to see how this is playing out i think it's also very closely related to the situation in syria is it look right now last night russia and turkey agreed

on a ceasefire for it it appears to be afraid joe one we have to just wait and see what's going to happen that i think these 2 situations are very closely related do you harm covering some certain some unclear developments right now on the turkish side of the border and for us on the greek side thanks so much for now to both of you as we've just heard from you know johan the migration crisis at the external borders putting the focus back on the fighting in syria the government offensive in problems has created some 1000000 new refugees and sparked fears of a direct confrontation there between russia and turkey which back and sides in the war last night those 2 countries reached an uneasy truce or syria. for 6 hours talks continued then aired on and putin stepped out in front of the

cameras to announce a security corridor or joint patrols and above all a cease fire. is sought so food is a food salute tonight at 12 am that is midnight between the 5th and 6th of march the cease fire will take effect and all steps will be taken to abide by it. the federal budget but the talks began at midday there was little left of the friendly reporter that was apparent only days before air no one and putin looked tense the situation is complicated. yet. russia and turkey are at loggerheads in the syrian province of it lip. their syrian leader assad's troops are fighting rebels with support from russia the rebels are supported by turkish troops but everyone and putin say they are committed to deescalation and. feel this

is what is really not used in the bill we hope this agreement will lay a foundation for the suspension the fighting in it live but. we hope to end the suffering of civilians there and to avoid a greater humanitarian crisis then you're here to know when the sit in. it was the outcome of hours long difficult negotiations now the ceasefire will face its big test if and how long it can hold. let's get you briefed now some of the other stories making the news today u.s. senator elizabeth warren has dropped out of the race for the white house that decision comes after a poor performance in the latest round of democratic primary elections her exit leaves senator bernie sanders and former vice president joe biden locked in a 2 way race. the disgraced movie mogul harvey weinstein has been taken to new york's notorious rikers island jail is

stations and requiring that commuters wear masks. south korea's transit networks are using strong medicine to combat the deadly coated 90 epidemic special teams are working overtime to sanitize the entirety of seoul metro with stations prepared to shut down if anyone with the coronavirus is confirmed to have been there and there's a good bit of public outreach going on as well. among the measures taken by small metro to prevent the spread of the virus are public service announcements in 4 languages promoting containment several times for our commuters are encouraged to wear their mess sanitize their hands and practice healthy safe hygiene. subway authorities have brought in extra staff to cope with decontamination efforts there keeping a watchful eye on overall working conditions. the health of our workers is

a top priority so we're making sure they weigh mosques and fairly wash their hands and in the course of their work minimize unnecessary contact with passengers of thousands of you might cause those with a cold was in the subway ridership in seoul has significantly dropped since the onset of the virus but commuters have also changed their behavior can be that long as all i find myself avoiding anyone who's coughing and doesn't have a mask on so using the subway has become a bit disturbing and i used to hold on to a handrail but not so much now it will everything's become more challenging and i think it's. the money knowledgeable tunnels that few people on the subway now which makes it more comfortable to use but i think about the people who are afraid to come out and how inconvenient that must be to be stuck and doles from manage on. the national railway has also seen its ridership and schedule drastically reduced

with the government discouraging non-essential travel hygiene is a top priority there too with co rail cleaning its trains several times a day and disinfecting stations on average twice a day. but tonight it will actually prevent the spread of the coronavirus handrails tables response rooms and other areas that come into frequent contact with passengers authority disinfected in addition. as of monday we are selling window seats 1st to keep passengers as far apart as possible. some government officials had earlier suggested locking down the city of daegu the source of the vast majority of cases now cleanliness containment and mitigation have come to define south korea's strategy against the coronavirus. let's go down to the correspondent who put that report together for us frank smith joining us from south korea's capital seoul good day to you frank so moving very quickly to contain this

virus can you tell us about any other precautions the government's taking well sure the big one this week was a a 10000000000 dollar package passed by the national assembly to help mitigate and contain the crisis the communications part of it is you know also really ramped up as they're encouraging people to stay indoors wash their hands for 30 seconds regularly wear their masks and avoid public yeah the rings i'm also working on another report about the behavior of paramedics so 3 is sent to 8 separate ambulances from the capitol down to debut to cope with the cluster of the outbreak there that's really the majority of the cases in south korea and the behavior of paramedics as well as change their wrapping the interior of their ambulances there and attending people you know when they call for coded attendance they're attending

the morning to time in isolating the paramedics from each other so that they can respond most quickly and effectively to kobe had calls now japan in the region is following this very closely and tokyo is set to issue travel restrictions on south koreans seoul says it will quote launch counter measures are we looking at at south korea restricting trout travel from japan as well. well i think that's really a possibility now one of the things that's happening in south korea is they're they're testing a lot of people something like 20000 people per day are being tested in that light you know indicate why we're seeing such a rise in the numbers of those affected here infected here as opposed to japan which isn't testing quite at that level the 2 countries do have it and then taken a stipulation ship going back to japan's colonize ation of so great really in the 20th century so it's not a surprise they would have these tit for tat measures but we need to recognize this

outbreak is really shared by both countries of course as well as china and frank what about preparedness in south korea do you get a sense that south korea is prepared for an outbreak on the scale that china sea well you know i'm no health expert but i think if we look at china and the scale of it there it's really an impossible task for for health officials and health care systems around the world to deal with something on this scale down in daegu as i mentioned they sent a 8 ambulances there however you know they are short of bit something like reports of 2000 shortages of beds and calling on people to stay at home unless their symptoms are are quite serious we have seen though is the government step out again with that big budget you know corporations step up with their nation celebrities with donations as well as even small ranchers offering discounts to to their

tenants in order for businesses to sort of survive as this also gets the economy here in south korea frank so most thanks so much from seoul in south korea. it's the russian hours fault that as many as $12000.00 women die every year at the hands of their partners and in a country that has recently decriminalized some forms of domestic violence abuse is often a taboo subject and that makes living with the physical scars especially difficult did abuse very rich shadow has this look at what some women are doing to cope. this is no ordinary tattoo session it's called a rebirth. that's what genia so hard calls her project she tattoos over women scars left by the abuse and domestic violence their men have inflicted on them it's

a huge problem in russia you know what should we. play physical scars last forever the women are afraid someone will see them this isn't so much about covering the scars it's about helping women leads normal lives again. flowers and butterflies instead of stab wounds and slashes victoria has been here many times she was one of the 1st women is an e.s.l. hard helped in her rebirth project she shows us her 1st scar what can still be seen of it. my husband and his friend direct me into the woods they were both drunk they stopped me in the throat and on the mount. there are no reliable statistics on the number of women who are beaten abused or killed by their partners in russia. human rights activists estimate that one in every 3 russian women experiences violence at least once in her

marriage. many stay silent afraid their partners will take revenge and because they think the state won't help them a woman from the outskirts of the central asian city of says abuse survivors aren't taken seriously when they go to the police she wants to remain anonymous. my husband was a drug addict when he was high he would attack me with a knife he'd beat me and rip out my hair while this is one of the wounds from his night if. there's any as the hard doesn't believe it's only the abusers who should be held to account she also feels russian society and the state are to blame. for the whenever the women come to me they tell me the same story that pot every

strong one or on the drunks many of the pot as a jobless and they drink because they have nothing else to do domestic violence is getting worse because no one cares about people here. many sink into a deep hole they think they can get out of without alcohol. when the rebirth tattoo project 1st started a new for 4 years ago few people knew what went on behind closed doors or how many women needed help. when 30 women from across the region turned up the 1st week. zinnias a heart recognized her calling to help them work through their trauma instead of repressing it. trunk but who are coming to tell their stories for the 1st time in my pond the memories stay in their hearts beat you content to a hot what's the saying out of sight out of mind now at least they don't have to

look at their scars every day i hope they won't dwell on them either. first har the pain these women feel while getting tattooed is all part of the support she hopes it's the last pain will ever feel in their lives. brazilian football superstar ronald denio has appeared in court in paraguay after entering the country on allegedly forged passport the former barcelona player and world cup winner was detained at his hotel wednesday along with his brother who spent years with officials in the capital also see own before being released for all details brazilian passport was confiscated by brazilian authorities back and putting a team he said to remain in power why as the investigation continues. in a sign of just how much ties of improve between the republic of ireland and the
