quakes, and the worst in turkish republics history is a lot of back room is acro msm, over the response of the government. and also why so many people died in the failings of those buildings. that's going to be a key election of only agenda, and that is why many people think earth one will be facing the toughest fight in his career. many polls put him fall behind the opposition in upon them into elections, and also possibly not connect with color. all is going to be a very close fight and will many people say is probably the most important election in turkey's history. state police, istanbul correspondent dorian johns, reporting that the credit commanders say they want to strengthen they defenses in the embattled city of buck mote. there's also doubt about the strength of attacking russian forces. the head of the wagner mercenary group has admitted his troops are running out of ammunition. the battle for buck merge is one of the fiercest of the war sofa. the fighting has been so intense embankment. one ukrainian

commander described it as utter hell. now instead of retreating, these troops will reinforce their positions and attempt to reclaim lost ground. they're determined to save the city, but the enemy is also unrelenting. my when it was for flu or the perfect vehicle for a more forces at us to justify the aim of their so called special operation. when you take a bucket you, it is important because it cuts across roadways and it's higher ground for we football pulls from its height. everything here is open for the russians. so it's important for both us and them was we, we'd learn market, please let me call it so many of them are dying, hire. i don't understand why doesn't you know, be sure that you're not russia's expected spring offensive. could hit a snag with apparent disunity in its ranks part of its quest to capture ukraine's

don bass region has been fronted by mercenaries from the wagner group who've emerged as rivals of the russian military. even though they're supposed to be partners like them or exams. resilience good, but wagner's own i yevgeny preggers in an ally of vladimir putin is now warning his fighters might not be able to hold on. because moscow has not replenished their ammunition with him. well they, you do, we, if we retreat you, then we'll go down in history forever as people who've taken the main step towards losing the war rover. so me, whoever wins control of batman will not have much of a city left. after 6 months of fighting. it's buildings are in ruins, and most of its residents have fled still as one of the oldest cities in the don bass region. it remained symbolic, although the only visible symbol right now is one of devastation. all right,

let's take a look now. some of the other news making headlines around the world. the south central and south american leaders have been meeting in april as capital quito summit ames to strengthen democracy, human rights and the rule of law in the region. the group also includes costa rica that dominican republic and panama mexican authorities have rescued more than $300.00 migrants left abandoned in a truck trailer. around a 3rd were unaccompanied children. the trailer carrying the travellers was equipped for people smuggling with fans and ventilation ports. i were unharmed. at least 15 people were killed when heavy rains triggered landslides on a remote island in indonesia. dozens more thought to be missing. rescue if it's been hindered by poor weather communications with the area also down. the united nation says the taliban statement of women and girls in afghanistan could amount to a crime against humanity. the hardliners have cut back on freedoms,

including the right to attend schools and universities. the un says the policy aimed to a race women from public life back to class after the winter break, and the chance to catch up with friends after time away. but the only sign of women at this private university in kabul is on the walls. and the post is encouraging female students to wear ahead job a remind to have life here before the taliban band, women from higher education late last year. if you are a mom, we didn't have any issue with our sisters having segregated classes from us. i'll point was that even if they had to study alone, we were happy about it. last year we were segregated and they were studying who were happy about it. there was no issue with it. that's what i mean. yeah. the ruling in december was met with protest submit wide spread global outrage. with

many of those taking to the streets. young women now being denied access, the higher education, such as music. but what my personal view is that if girls are not educated, half of the society will be paralyzed. so half of the society needs to come out of this paralysis. the more progress you have in a society, the better goals are also human or whatever they love, all like whatever they want to become in the future, they must continue and they must study in schools or at university wide from her pumpkin jo mccormick, arthur, that is why the taliban says the decision to bar women from university classrooms was made because dress codes and gender based religious restrictions were being ignored. the country is now among the most restrictive in the world for women's education, with a similar band still in place for girls at secondary school. the united nation says the direct his could create a lost generation, claiming every one has the right to an education. mary himself,

he found that the organization for policy research and development studies based in afghanistan, i asked her earlier how they help to make women's voices her. well, one of the key initiatives that we have right now is a digital platform that allows us to survey thousands of women across the country on key effect, a key issues that are affecting them and then get those outputs into the hands of policy makers about here in new york, the sidelines of the c s. w meetings, as well as another key capitals that are engaged in afghanistan, both in terms of humanitarian work. and in terms of, of discussions around political engagement. met him, you in says the taliban statement of women and girls in afghanistan might amount to a crime against humanity, a strong words, but will there be any real consequences for the telephone?

well, to be very clear, what we're seeing right now from the international community is really not a concerted effort. their traditional communities, very much divided among themselves in terms of what those key red lines are, what can or cannot be acceptable. so i don't see that there is an international consensus on consequences towards the taliban. there are about 10 countries that are officially given. the embassies of garrisons, embassies over to the tall about 2 of those members are members of the un security council being russia and china. so it's quite difficult to say, but of course, there are consequences and there should be. and some of those consequences could be the fact that right now, there are serious are 1st under play to look at the situation and not ganeth than the gender apartheid. and to be able to frame it legally as that into,

in front of the international criminal court. of course, there's also the case of international recognition to the taliban, which i don't think that that contractual community, even those who have given embassies over, will be doing anytime soon. in light of the edicts that the taliban have been issuing over time again. use the phrase concerted effort. what can the international community do? what would i consider a concerted if it look like? well, for one to come on, come onto the same page when it comes to a, what are their leverages and be, what are their red lines? and make a principled effort to stick to those what we have seen in the last year and a half is the international community continuing to lower the standards to which the taliban have to measure up to or hold. we've seen right now that the

international that the taliban have. how violated the very principles of humanitarian aid by not allowing women to work in a i n g o z as well as other agencies to deliver important aid to women and women and women. and it households now that's a violation of humanitarian principles of impartiality. yet the interaction community continues to, to provide humanitarian aid without any parameters or without any measures. so so it needs to do that needs to come on to the same page and it needs to look at the sanctions against the taliban harden. those sanctions place more. tell a band members on the travel bands that they have already in place and try to tighten up those those areas to show the pressure. but i am stuffy from the organization for policy, research and development studies. thank you so much for your time. and
