what. starts more. bang bang. bang. this is the news coming to you live from respond for millions of civilians trapped in syria's restive. russia to a ceasefire. a tense calm is being reported. displaced almost a 1000000 people over the last 3 years. also on the program thousands of refugees

at the border according to enter the european union they're running out of options to deploy special forces to prevent greek police are pushing them back into checking. and for international women's day showing skin with the scars really the russian tattoo artist helping women. and the surrounding domestic violence. good to have you with us. i tended to see the northern sit in the. it's a result of talks between texas president. and russian president. the meeting in moscow aimed to diffuse the increasingly volatile situation in the region that had threatened to spill over into direct confrontation between moscow. after 6

hours of talks and a one and putin stepped in front of the cameras to announce a security corridor or joint patrols and the all important cease fire. the 2 leaders had looked tense is the negotiations began the complex and long running conflict in syria has put turkey and russia on opposing sides but now they say they are committed to deescalation what i'm saying that you're going to we hope this agreement will lay a foundation for the suspension of fighting in libya but. we hope to end the suffering of civilians there and to avoid a greater humanitarian crisis. here in the windy city in. the northern syrian province of the last stronghold of anti-government rebels. which deadly air strikes happening almost every day in recent months syrian troops have been fighting rebels with support from russia. but the rebels are backed by

turkish soldiers the latest ceasefire deal establishes a security corridor on each side of it live strategic east west m 4 highway join turkish and russian patrols will begin on march 15th. speaking on russian television shortly after the deal was announced syrian president bashar assad played up his ties with moscow. by turkish aggression a common goal of russia remains to make turkey change its policy away from supporting terrorists and to bring our relations back to. with thousands displaced by the fighting the international community led by the e.u. is focusing on alleviating what's already a humanitarian catastrophe an earlier cease fire deal for it live quickly fell apart as turkey and russia accused each other of not sticking to the agreement the

world is now waiting to see whether that pattern will repeat itself. in the ceasefire and seriously province is also a top of the agenda at a meeting of e.u. foreign ministers including nation's capital zagreb today foreign minister. welcomed the russian to greenland and said the block would step up at the civilians . also supported accord by dutch ministers staff block for the no fly zone. and that is meant to stop the syrian regime bombing civilian targets and to provide urgently needed humanitarian aid to the. large cities are and he is in zagreb for that meeting you're going to russia and turkey could not agree on that no fly zone but for the foreign ministers meeting there in zagreb how important is the cease fire to stem the flow of refugees heading towards turkey and possibly into the e.u. . it is of course very important because it creates that necessary

buffer zone where potentially and that is why foreign ministers here said we'll have to see how the ceasefire pans out we overall welcome it but we need to see whether it is really sustainable because that would create a buffer zone where refugees could stay safe away from the violence from the syrian sites in the provinces now the no fly zone as as you have heard it is something that a number of ministers here would welcome but it is also clear that it would require a united nations resolution and for that you need russia on board and that has failed already a number of times so that is an unlikely scenario nevertheless a number of ministers have mentioned it here that it would be something that would be welcome until he wants the e.u. to offer it more political and financial support to deal with the refugees coming out of syria is that is taking lacking to get that kind of support it's often for.

let's look at the financial support for the 1st and that is where the german for foreign minister made very clear that direct payments something that had won a requested money transferred from the european union directly to the turkish state will not take place what we have and the foreign minister was very clear about that it is working very successfully is within the deal the european union made the refugee deal the european union made with turkey there is money flowing and it's flowing according to plan directly to aid organizations in turkey the question is now whether ministers will say really increase that money to give a foreign minister said maybe we can a ranch that this money flows a little more quickly than scheduled so that is an option and for the republican request we still stand in the same situation visa free travel for instance is something that is on the table within this turkey deal but it's not taking place because turkey does not feel the political requirements regarding those a rule fall so far and as long as things stay like that it there won't be

a visa free travel angle what about the standoff at the greek to. when refugees from the turkish side attempting to cross into the e.u. what's being said there about this issue are you just really in a dilemma here because they do want to end the human suffering and they do see the problem the problems of migrants who have been told the borders open and now realizing that that extra mile border is closed by greece on the other hand german foreign minister again here was clear that if we would allow as you allow a uncontrolled border crossing that could create even more chaos and what puts people in danger to so the e.u. well comes the actions that greece has taken to protect protect that extra mile border right at the fun foreign ministers a meeting in zagreb croatia thank you very much. and for the bailey's is at the

greek. she joins us from the turkish some of the border 1st of all really you standing in what's happening around you. all the situation here at the cool of border crossing truckies border crossing with the remains tens there are still thousands of people waiting that demanding passage to the european union now i have to mention that as journalists we are not getting anywhere near this border crossing near this buffer zone we are not allowed in we have to report from here about 2 kilometers away but we have sources we have people who are there people we've interviewed and they tell us that some quite dramatic scenes top them playing out there today tear gas was apparently fired by border guards to this approach house of migrants and refugees it's not clear whether tear gas has also

been fired from the taj. overall there are still families and small children i have to tell you and from what we understand their conditions are very difficult many of them have endured a week in the called without proper shelter there are being aided by some organization so they receive some food and brings but usually it's not enough for everyone. so a very tense situations still and we're also hearing reports of refuse are being moved by turkish authorities do we know already have been taken and what is behind this operation. i can give you a specific example we've been filming at one location a little further away in the town center of yesterday it was some kind of a makeshift camp of about 200 refugees and migrants are from syria from of

potus down also from some african countries these people yesterday told us that they are determined to stay to wait for greece to open the border and when we arrived at the very same location earlier this morning it was empty we then reached out to some people that we've talked to yesterday and they told us that's what they told us they are been forced into bosses by talking police and then sent to the station and then sent to istanbul where apparently many are now stranded without cash so they can't you know make their way to the talk of cities where they have originally come from last week when they moved here to wards the greek talking orders so as it seems fishel is all moving people whenever they deem it necessary whenever they think it's useful this is the impression we're getting here at the border right. for you at the border thank you very much for that update from day.

this may not bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the world 2 people have been shunted at a political rally in the afghan capital kabul of gun chief executive. speaking as the attack started officials say he escaped unharmed. it was the 1st major attack in the capital since the u.s. signed a peace deal with the. u.s. senator elizabeth warren has dropped out of the race for the white house the decision comes after a poor performance in the latest round of democratic primary elections exit leaves burning songdo. biden locked in a 2 way race. this priest movie movie harvey weinstein has been taken to new york's new tourist rikers island jail is transferred to prison comes 10 days after he was found guilty of rape and sexual assault weinstein complained of chest pains

after the verdict and was 1st taken to hospital. and out of the latest on the karuna virus with the total number of infections still on the rise the world health organization is warning that some countries are not taking the karuna virus seriously enough saying this is not a grid in the u.s. president trump is expected to sign 8300000000 dollar measure to help tackle the outbreak that comes after health professionals warned about a lack of hospital preparedness israel and palestinian authority have put the city of bethlehem under quarantine after 7 cases were confirmed and asian markets plunged on friday as fears about a world recession grip investors. european union health ministers are holding a special session in brussels to discuss further measures to contain the current virus the number of infections has been going up in europe currently more than 4000

people have been diagnosed with the virus for more let's draw in the correspondent teri schultz she is in brussels where terri the last time you health ministers met was in february there must be surely a much greater sense of urgency in their talks today. absolutely there is definitely a sense of urgency and at the same time this strong sense that they do not want people to panic and the difference between february and now is something the german health minister again spahn addressed upon his arrival he said look we were very successful in the beginning at keeping the outbreak out of europe we prevented it from coming here in any great number for a couple of weeks and that was some very important time we gained a lot of knowledge over those couple of weeks but now we have to shift our thinking into preventing further infection so that's what they're looking at now there's no longer really a lot of talk about prevention because of course we've seen so many cases here in

europe as she arrived for the meeting the e.u. health commissioner selig curiosity's said the important things we're going to talk about today are preparedness coordination and solidarity among member states so what kind of immediate measures are being considered at an e.u. level. we have to point out from the beginning that the e.u. does not have have a mandate to make decisions for member states so as in so many cases they are talking about how to coordinate and information sharing is the chief priority here because we heard a commission official story and e.u. officials say yesterday that there have been flaws in information sharing member states could do better in sharing with one another what measures they are taking what how many cases they have where these cases are concentrated but if we're talking about a practical level today they'll be discussing things like whether they can jointly purchase equant meant to share among member states that are that are hardest hit

that of course would would help with some of this these accusations of hoarding with some member states not sharing with those countries that are hit the worst they're even discussing things like bringing medical workers out of retirement or using medical students to help in the cases that are worse to you know they're they're running out of out of hospital spaces they're running out of equipment to protect these health care workers and of course if we look at a consumer level yesterday i went to a store and look for a hand sanitizer i'd already heard that it's very difficult to find but i couldn't find it anywhere in 3 different stores so these are the kind of things that start panicking the general public so today commissioner the commission's meeting is going to be very much about how to sort of settle things down how to share what resources there are among member states and how to keep people taking the measures that will keep them most safe starting we have to repeat with washing hands. now to in some countries like south korea the karuna measures don't stick really europe

see similar kind of measures to fight with 1000. i don't think that we are going to see in the near future anything like you've seen in south korea where all public places are being washed down constantly i certainly haven't seen anything like that on public transportation here in belgium but you know you have seen the scene measures like italy shutting down all its schools and universities you know that seems very dramatic here and you know when you're sitting in belgium and seeing nothing about the european institutions are taking showing an abundance of caution you know the european parliament will not be traveling to strasburg next week and holding its meeting here in brussels i was hosting a panel yesterday in which commission officials had to cancel 3 of 4 of the people who were supposed to speak canceled by the time this discussion was supposed to start so at an institutional level they are very much keeping their officials closely held and not having them go out and take any have any interaction with the

public that's not necessary so i think we'll see those measures ad hoc what's happening today is that they're trying to take a more coordinated approach across the institutions across the member states to issues in brussels thank you very much for that and this is a closer look as to how south korea is dealing with the crude avice the cases have increased to within 6 towns and the captain so transportation officials are taking extraordinary measures sending disinfectant teams onto trains into stations and requiring that commuters wear masks. so crews transit networks are using strong medicine to combat the deadly. epidemic special teams are working overtime to sanitize the entirety of small metro 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. but among the measures taken by

saul 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 win mosques and fairly wash their hands and in the course of their work minimize unnecessary contact with passengers through city michaelson was with the coast near the subway ridership in seoul has significantly drop since the onset of the virus but commuters have also changed their behavior can you 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 kind of there are few people on the subway now which makes it more comfortable to use but i think about the people who try to come out and how inconvenient that must be to be stuck and dole is from an odd town that . 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 coal rail cleaning its trains several times a day and disinfecting stations on average twice a day. but tonight it will come down to 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

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 knowledge of. genea so hard doesn't believe it's only the abusers who should be held to account she also
