an update from our correspondent on the ground and. a lot of all. a deadly gun attack targets a shiite political johnny come lately but the taliban says it's not displayed. virus european union health ministers hold. on a collective response to the outbreak. a human rights monitors says 15 people have been killed in clashes between and syrian government forces and the fight is in southern italy now this is despite a cease fire that went into 4th at midnight the ceasefire as

a result of talks between techies president. and russian president putin but the meeting in moscow in to diffuse 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 have looked 10 since 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 well. we hope this agreement will lay a foundation for the suspension of fighting in libya because we hope to end the suffering of civilians there and to avoid a greater humanitarian crisis. you don't know when you see. the northern syrian

province or the last stronghold of anti-government rebels. with deadly airstrikes 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 to 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 and earlier ceasefire 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 and the see signs here is a little vinces off the top of the agenda at a meeting of foreign ministers in creation's capital zagreb e.u. foreign ministers chief. welcomed the russian to its agreement and said the block would step op-ed for civilians in adelaide also a supported by dutch minister. for a no fly zone and that's meant to stop the syrian regime bombing civilian targets and. we needed humanitarian aid delivered to the wards. and. at that meeting of foreign ministers and it's

a good guild it seems the foreign ministers have vapid up there meeting 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 morrell just explained that every day a 100 trucks loaded with water 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 cease fire 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 guiltier 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 pharmacy 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 aid organizations united nations aid organizations that are active on the turkish side of the border aiding those refugees there's 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 charkhi 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 deal with refugees from 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 r.l. 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 like

a mosque making clear that illegal passing would create chaos and which cause more human suffering. government to sankey very much for reporting on that crisis meeting a foreign minister's e.u. foreign ministers in zagreb croatia. and for the very latest of the greek to do list. 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 the cool of border crossings sharkey'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 now but we have sources we have people who

are there people we've interviewed and they tell us that some quite dramatic scenes hopton playing out there today tear gas was apparently fired by the 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 refuse are being moved by turkish authorities do we know randi 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 off and yesterday it was some kind of a makeshift camp of about 200 refugees and migrants are from syria from of papias 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 hold or 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. let me know when you have to leave with some other stories making news around the world u.s. senator elizabeth warren has dropped out of the risk of the white house decision comes after a poor performance of the latest round of democratic primary elections her exit leaves bernie sanders and joe biden locked in a 2 way race. disgraced movie mogul harvey weinstein has been taken to new york's the tourist rikers island jury has transferred to prison comes 10 days after he was found guilty of rape and sexual assault. complained of chest pains off the verdict and was 1st taken to hospital. 2 men on

a motorcycle have blown themselves up in a suicide bombing outside the u.s. embassy in tunisia as capital tunis officials say 5 police officers were hurt it was the most serious attack in the country in months. turning out of ghana's sign at least 27 people have been shot dead and dozens injured at a political rally in the afghan capital kabul afghan high peace council chairman mohamed ghanem kylie's was speaking when gunmen opened fire efficiency all the victims were civilians and prominent politicians including chief executive of the buddha escaped unharmed it was the 1st major incident in kabul since the us signed a peace deal with the taliban last weekend. for the very latest joining me from kabul iscar is fun. any of them destroy pantywaists commemorating the death anniversary of a minority shiite leader why would such

a gathering be targeted when gatherings like this are targeted specifically because of the amount of people that are there we've seen that dozens of people have been killed and injured great and just that one gun 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 also inciting fear and the politicians who are able to escape very quickly with no harm to them so basically choosing a soft target is to get their message across and that the taliban says it was not behind this attack is there any information emerging who might have got it out. so far there is no claim of responsibility the only thing is that the taleban immediately said it wasn't them so now it's really up to once because the attack is still ongoing it will be up to basically the caldwell 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 of honest on as a country club of gardens full of people live as i saw it online bad intentions can really you know take out their their will. and make a statement through violent means and they will quickly be anybody at this point. and it's a 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. with a number of good advice infections on the rise some authorities across the ones are taking no chances a cruise ship with 3500 people on board has been ordered to stay away from the california coast until tests for corvids 19 have been carried out test kits have been on the grand princess by helicopter after a traveler from

a previous voyage died of the virus or the new cases have been confirmed on this cruise ship around 100 people have been identified for testing after suffering from flu like symptoms. but national responses to what's emerging as a global pandemic vary widely such as in europe. 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 then 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.

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 in italy alone. but how other states on the continent on dealing with the outbreak differs considerably germany has seen a launch rise in infections with hundreds of cases although a few places affected have been close to like this kindergarten near the dutch border the government is opposed to too many restrictive measures. 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 fish. and given what we knew about the virus other this point i would feel that any measure restricting cross border travel is not appropriate for it's not in

the. 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. and if we now joined entity should susan bronson's until you've been watching a meeting with you health ministers to discussing measures to deal with the karuna bias what can you tell us well read of the mood in this meeting was very very serious very very concerned the world health organization who spoke at the meeting pointed out that while 90 percent of the cases worldwide are still in china the number of new cases being reported daily outside of china exceed those so we are seeing more new cases every day outside of china and those are concentrated in poor countries one of them being italy so this is obviously a very very great concern now at this stage and there has so far not been

a massive response to that to that plea countries are very concerned and hoarding their own supplies and that's something that is of great concern at a european level so from what you're seeing a certain sense of urgency what kind of concrete measures are being discussed there . well there's a wide range of measures and as you heard in that report a wide range of views as to what is effective and that's something that also needs to be coordinated some countries complained for example that italy shut all of its schools and all of its universities without warning any of its neighboring countries some countries think that that is an extreme measure and we are not seeing any sort of mass effort like that here in belgium for example where my children are in school so the approaches so far vary widely across the continent some of the things that they're talking about though because we are seeing shortages of equipment and staff are a joint procurement of the of the u. edu buying a large amount of medical supplies and then distributing it to the crisis hit areas

they're talking about possibly bringing medical staff out of retirement or using students in those areas that are lacking medical workers i mean some of these medical workers are themselves having to go home sick there's a lack of protective gear for those people working on the cases in the hospitals in the w.h.o. said very very sternly that this is of utmost importance or you're going to have medical staff actually infecting new people so there was a lot of concern about shortages about lack of redistribution of those supplies that might be available at a european level and it's important to point out that that the european union does not have the capacity to impose measures on any country they can primarily function as a coordinator and that's what we're seeing now this is certain degree of coordination from but from what you want to think this will no action cannot be taken to a wider. well not exactly and there is something that is going to happen that is happening right now and that is because italy asked for

a crisis mechanism to be invoked a couple of weeks ago so the e.u. decided to make a joint procurement of medical supplies and they will be getting bids in on monday this is for face masks for gloves for other medical devices inhalers things that can be used to prevent cases or to help those people who are already stricken with the virus and so they'll be getting busy and on monday and then the european commission will coordinate this joint purchase of medical equipment and it will then read their stir viewed it to to member states primarily italy so that unfortunately won't have to rely on solidarity from its member countries which has not been working out so well but we'll be hearing more about that the meeting has just broken up and there will be a press conference shortly so we'll be able to share more details about what exact measures might be taken over the course of the afternoon thank you very much for military shoots in brussels of course we'll get back to you when more information comes out from there thank you for now. in russia is with as many as

12000 women die every year at the hands of that bachmann's and in a country that has recently decriminalized some form of domestic violence abuse is often to boost subject and that makes living with the physical scars especially difficult d.w. has this look at what some women doing to cope. this is no ordinary tattoo session it's called a rebirth. that's what g.d.s. so hard 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 cored 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 lead 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 jenny as 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 stepped 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 night. genea 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 me they tell me the same story that pottery strong woman or on the trunks many of the plot 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 to trunk before coming to tell their stories for the 1st time in my pala the memory stand that haunts you contact to our heart 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 by the. force of 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. that are far from
