an update from our correspondent on the ground and malta i am. just a deadly gun attack targets a shia political rally in kabul and the taliban says it's not too late to. class ahead of international women's day showing skin but not the scott we meet the russian tattoo artist helping women shake up the. surrounding domestic violence. ton of abel welcome to you i'm. a human rights month is this if people have been killed in clashes between syrian government forces and rebel fighters in southern this despite a cease fire that went into force at midnight the cease fire was the result of

talks the 2 in the turkish president. and russian president putin their meeting in moscow in to defuse the increasingly volatile situation in the region that had threatened to spill over into direct confrontation between and moscow. after 6 hours of talks and a one and putin stepped out 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. 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. you don't know when. the northern syrian province of

the last stronghold of anti-government rebels. with 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 that russia remains to make turkey change its policy away from supporting terrorists and to bring our relations. 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 it's that pattern will repeat itself in the ceasefire the province's off the top of the agenda at a meeting of foreign ministers in croatia capital zagreb you foreign affairs chief welcomed the russian to agreement and said the block with step up with civilians and. also supported by a dutch minister. for a no fly zone and that's meant to stop the syrian regime bombing civilian targets and enable needed humanitarian aid to be delivered to the. lords and. is at that meeting of foreign ministers at zagreb it seems the foreign

ministers have seen what does this say about the cease fire agreed on by. but they rarely come this decision made by russia and turkey because it provides the precondition for 8 that is going from the european union into that region into it lip where people are desperate for it foreign policy chief joseph burrell just explained that every day a 100 trucks loaded with water and with food are crossing into that mountainous region trying to reach these people and that is why in their conclusion for this crisis meeting here in zagreb they have said this ceasefire needs to be sustainable and it needs to be taken seriously not just on the ground but also in the air so that people are protected and so that that 8 can reach the people. and the new guilty and he wants more political and financial support from the aid to deal with

the refugee especially refugees from syria did not get that. the german foreign minister also made it made clear yesterday already made clear yesterday that there will be no direct payments as everyone has requested so no money going directly from the european union to the turkish state instead a lot of money is already going and will be going this year to try aid organizations united nations aid organizations that are active on the turkish side of the border aiding those refugees there is extra money potentially being put on the table by the european commission. has ruled out that more money will come from member states or from from from germany tortes turkey and then there's also the crucial issue of the political things that turkey has asked for like visa free travel for instance and they're all ministers today were clear as long as the

preconditions for political. political things like a visa free travel that could be given to turkey are not fulfilled regarding the rule of law for instance in turkey that was not on the table and you want to move the standoff is seeing at the greek to delhi griffin g.'s on the turkish side attempting to cross into the e.u. and the ministers say anything about that again amreeka here it was quite interesting to hear foreign policy chief joseph orwell sending a very stern message to refugees on the syrian side but also on the turkish side of the border saying the borders are not open off the european union you cannot cross there there will be no illegal a trash passing of the xstrata borders of the e.u. and overall all ministers here welcomed the measures that have been taken by greece to protect those borders with the german foreign minister cycle mosse making clear

that illegal passing would create chaos and which cause more human suffering. gov martin thank you very much for reporting on that emerged crisis meeting of foreign ministers e.u. foreign ministers in zagreb croatia. and for the baileys at the greek turkish. 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 chuckie's border crossing with greece remains tense 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 topped playing out there today tear gas was apparently fired by border guards to disperse approach house of migrants and refugees it's not clear whether tear gas has also been fired from the taku side 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 you know we're also hearing reports of refugees 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 a 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 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 turkish

border so as it seems the fischel is all moving people whenever they deem it necessary whenever they think it's useful this is the impression we are getting here at the border right. before the at the border thank you very much for that update from there. clearly not to afghanistan at least 27 people have been shot dead and dozens injured at a political rally in the capital kabul afghanistan as chief executive of a good leader who speaking when gunmen opened fire official seascape unharmed it is the 1st major incident in kabul since the u.s. signed a peace deal that donavon last weekend. for the very latest joining me from godless correspondent. i need them dis rally aponte was commemorating the death anniversary of a minority shiite leader why would such

a gathering be targeted. when gatherings like this are targeted it specifically because of the amount of people that are there we've seen that dozens of people have been killed and injured right in just that one gun attack and you know the attack is still ongoing. and so really what this is about is about inciting fear in people it's inciting fear in the average person you know the civilians who are trying to guess when including women and children and it's also inciting fear and the politicians who are able to escape very quickly with no harm to them so basically choosing a soft target to get their message across and that diamond says it was not behind this attack is there any information emerging who might have guided dot so far there is no claim of responsibility the only thing is that the taleban immediately said it wasn't that so now it's really up to once because attack is still ongoing it will be up to basically the kabul government the united states and anyone else

who can investigate this to try and figure out who was behind it but the one thing we have to remember is that i want to stay on as a country club of gardens full of people with a as i said it on line bad intentions can really you know take out their their will and. and make a statement through violent means. they'll quickly be anybody at this point. and it if you thank you very much for bringing us up to date on this attack in kabul which as you said is ongoing and of course we'll keep an eye and get back to you when more information becomes available thank you very much for that. thank you. let's now bring up to date with some other stories making news around the world. u.s. senator elizabeth warren has dropped out of the race for the white house her decision comes after a poor performance in the latest round of democratic primary elections her exit leaves bernie sanders and joe biden locked in

a 2 way race. does crist movie mogul harvey weinstein as being taken to new york's and a 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 one was 1st taken to hospital. not a latest on the coronavirus with the total number of infections still on the rise the world health organization is warning that some countries are not taking the karuna advice seriously enough saying and warning this is not a drill in the u.s. president trump is expected to sign an 8300000000 dollar measure to help tackle the brig and that comes after health professionals warned about a lack of hospital bed israel and the 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 drip investors. national responses to what's emerging as a deal with pandemic vary widely from putting into cities under quarantine or taking simple precautions like hand washing it in so far has the 2nd highest death toll after china and that country is taking no chances. the lockdown in italy continues this school in rome is just one of tens of thousands from across the country forced to close its doors the government here taking drastic measures to contain the outbreak but if you go back in on air it was not an easy decision for the government we also waited for the opinion of the scientific committee man and we decided given that the situation is changing so quickly so to suspend all academic activities beyond the red zone until the 15th of march or.

even the capital's historic sites are lucky to see visitors as a tally and stay home and tourists stay away. anything to slow the spread of corona virus which has killed $148.00 in italy alone. but how other states on the continent are dealing with the outbreak differs considerably germany has seen a large rise in infections with hundreds of cases although a few places affected have been closed like this kindergarten near the dutch border the government is opposed to too many restrictive measures. because that all of the symptoms we've seen so far are symptoms our health system deals with every day and it begs the question which measures are appropriate and which are not just one fish . and given what we know about the virus other this point i would feel that any measure restricting cross border travel is not supported me and. european health

ministers launched crisis talks in brussels on friday they agree they have to slow the spread of coronavirus but how they go about doing that is still being worked on . the european union health ministers are holding a special session in brussels to discuss further measures to contain the coronavirus 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 india correspondent teri schultz she is in brussels 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 the 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're talking about how to coordinate and information sharing is the chief priority here

because we heard a commission official official say yesterday that there have been flaws in information sharing member states could do better in sharing with one another what it 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 mint 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 mischa's dusty 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 had counseled 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 in russia it's estimated that as many as 12000 women die every year at the hands of the bok nose and a country that has recently decriminalized some forms of domestic violence abuse is often a to boost subject that makes living with the physical scars specially difficult

views of beauty from moscow you do to 5 this report on what somebody men are doing to cope. this is no ordinary tattoo session it's called a rebirth. that's what g.d.s. calls her project she tattoos over women's 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. say 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's n e s a hard helped in her rebirth project she shows us her 1st scar what can still be

seen of it. it is a war with my husband and his friend directly into the woods they were both drunk they stab me in the throat and under my arm. 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. zinnias so 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 be they tell me the same story that pottery strong woman or on drugs many of the pot as a jobless and they drink because they have nothing else to do domestic violence is guessing was 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 anew 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 to trunk of coming to tell their stories for the 1st time in my pala the memories stay in their hearts but you contact 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 do well 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 they'll ever feel in their lives. and we reported on many other women who are breaking into iran the word through the day as we look ahead to international women's day which is on sunday. now why the
