a michael look who welcome to the program. rebel forces have re ignited syria's long simmering civil war. it's largely as long as fighters have stormed into the country. second largest city from rebel strongholds in the northeast, the syrian army can see it has lost control of large parts of a level which it has held for 8 years and its forces or retreating. it's the biggest flare up in years in a civil war that has seen involvement by russia. ron, the us. tricky and israel celebrating victory. the fight is on the streets of the level that eat us after being driven out under devastating government aggression is strikes. the v joyce being with the police is a crushing defeat, depressed in the shot of us. it. 7 stopping on, step to a fight. that's why the former president half as it it's not,

i mean that dismissal the board agenda after years of being displeased from it by the assembly indiscriminate machine to davy, to turn to a level by the middle of calling you to turn to a country line. i think there's a big feeling to the atlanta, the place you have brought up. feel the surprised offensive by most people is that the trip begin been state in the northwest and profits. so for level confidence a, fight the script to really different down get student government check posts and when to to be he could assad government, which is the fact that you don't invest. yeah. has just funding with your strikes according to him, one of the thing dropped the city, an opposite of with 3 for human rights. russian is strikes, have hit a level for the 1st time in us in an effort to push back that up as food us military has set, quote them $32.00

a level aims to prepare to come to offensive against that are just around as many have lost their lives in recent government and rep and looked at the red in a want influenced by global and regional planned for almost 13 years, i start testing at ward with the opposition forces to speak to over to him. the conflict has skilled enough to meet a tough 1000000 people. some 6800000 citizens have clicked the country. and now the decent defensive has re ignited the fighting with an intensity not seen in the general is kareem algo laurie is following the story for us from cairo. i asked him why the rebel groups have decided to attack now. well 1st it says the 1st big, big military activities since the agreement of

a summer and between the turkey, russia and it on the calm down to conflict at the time it is, remains the low level of conflicted. but now of course, the change, the time listening has a lot to do was the weakening of the resumes allies. first of all, the foremost who's going to it says that we're always one of the foot troops off the us and resume. of course, no recruit to buy what happens in 11 on 2nd to russia. the 2nd are like being very busy in the ukraine. void, destroy another forces from siri, syria because of that, that search the other i like it on be the very busy business says and it's influence really weekend to in the last weeks the apply the will in level of all that lift the present us up in see in a very vulnerable position and this no,

of course, but the reference i just going to use it sounded like that. let's talk about that some more. i mean, serious military has announced a temporary troop withdrawal from 11 to 2. as we mentioned in the report, prepare a counter offensive, but at the moment, just as you're referring to, they don't appear to be particularly robust for that switch. 'em us as review is really at a low point, not only because of what i mentioned before, but also after the astounding agreement to when this became a low level of comfort and the noise to promise it's people and improvement of their lives in granted to the the economy is a disaster. never does improvement was never delivered. say she has played an important role. in addition to this, the resume, it says it positions of the resistance as well. but also the, the last week by the is really off was also weakening the reading troops to it says,

so it'd be crushed now if the regime really 10 point of a be contact tech to recycle by a level. this might very well be a singular moment corinne might this success in a level in bold, in the rebels to open more friends elsewhere in the country. i think that is really the most important question of the hour and the, the off course scenarios that the opposition might white into other areas. and one of the most likely scenarios here would be the source of the syria, the area of the data, right to the edge of the and border that is an area known for its position to the machine bit as an area with 2011. the uprising against the us entries u. s. started. if that's what happens, it will be be victorious for the regime because it will takes up to 5 on 2 totally opposite from one end of the for the 1st of all north. and the 2nd and the most

southern part of the country, that would be really troubles. so the reason how united is the opposition force leading the attack this but i think that's the most difficult question. and i see right now we have more questions than answers. part of this, the representative position is, of course, a hot court is let me move since others are or on the turkey sheer payroll at turkey is now also of course, using the chance that it all in russia all weekend to one of them. main goal is to weaken the courage, all positions there could just parts of the know the syria. and last part of the still a lot of rabbits who had to escape and the last few years from a liberal is now the returning back. people that going back like this hot breaking scenes of a son, for example, being related with his mother after so many years. so we really, it's

a mix of all this and we don't really have supervision right now. who is fighting where and especially about the question is, what is the political agenda of this read this off to this area, say liberated, of course. the 2nd question is will there's, you have enough springs to fight back. so a lot, a lot of really open questions and right. no, actually very few answers. oh, thanks. as always, the journalist covina l g a y in cairo doing to onto georgia. now we're more than a 100. demonstrators have been arrested after classes with police in the capital, the police c, tens of thousands took to the streets for a 2nd night to protest against the ruling georgian dream parties announcement that it suspending talks to join the european union. the government accused the you of disrespecting georgian values after the block cast out on last month's election

results. this was the scene in typically sees main boulevard. angry crowds face stuff against police for a 2nd and i after george's government said it was freezing talks to join the european union of the situation is quite tons. as you might see on the background, there is a riots police mobilized right next to the problem. and we can hear that some of the protesters are, some of the protesters are sorry, the parts of the police has been using the uh watch a ton on when, what's the people searching? yeah, they would leave the men square for few minutes and they come back again, which makes it quite a police to discuss the crowd. the protesters say the ruling george and dream

party is dismantling democratic rights and pulling georgia into must goes or bit. we're not fighting only a good dream when it comes in, we're finding is wasa, we're finding it is watching the voice in these countries norm as amount of resources, money and everything, which is no inactive. so that is why i do us a well they do as of the democratic world support to jim people. the protesters already have the support of george's pro western president may send me this today. i can say with confidence that the resistance movement has the guns, that it is your movement initiated by you, without any once instructions or demonic. freed less than 10 years of peaceful, constitutional resistance movement modes and attendance, philadelphia to with it. but it's not

a so he thought really clear on that show the vast majority of george and support e. u membership. george and dream also says it wants to join the blog eventually. but people here have taken to the streets because they, since their european aspirations are slipping away looking its former african colony at least 20 people were killed as heavy rains triggered land slides in a mountainous area of uganda. more than a 100, others are still missing and authorities expect the death told rise relief workers are coming through the rubble of dozens of homes. derek, my, you, you lost his entire family siblings and both bedrooms. they might have died from a devastating glance light to good bye, save green, eastern uganda. the umbrella,

despite its career disappearance, have no hope because i'm sure my family is fall. good. i'm sure. i know i'm no doing this. he's one of the many survivors who are morning loved ones. the learn slide are good on wednesday in black and blue district. the approximately 300 glo, me to east of the capital compiler as the religious months inhabited by homes and schools and most of most in deep mud b, u, k. and then government sets of citizens living and then slide regions to relocate. but the local parties say, the prime minister's office is not doing, you know, the prime minister's office was responsible for the disagreement plan. the

remaining combined though, we didn't meet ahead with the people around you know of on to update the chairs room and be have prepared our luggage to move when you'd even getting us. but i have no one so sorry. do you know the affected area? the small genius and his expedients, similar disaster in the past the rescue workers digging in search of victims. but se impossible towards an enduring did rescue ethics. to choose a reminder of our top story, this, our russia has lost its 1st year strikes and 8 years against a level in syria. after rebels took control of large parts of the city, serious military says it's forces or withdrawn. hundreds have been killed in fighting on both sides and we will end it there. but to stay with us, if you can, a stigma remains for those living with

h i v in ireland. some of them share their experiences on doc film. that's after the break. you can always stay up to date visiting our website dw, dot com, and of course, social media channels are handled is at the w news. unlike look, bye for now. the why do, how many does not get drunk? why do gravitational waves squeeze out bodies? how much do we need to put a pond? print for help find the offices, get smaller on dw science and outtake talk channel to disclose to make new or hidden information or

a fact or as a ton of people, things is basically what it means. and i want to tell you something i want to tie something. i'm in a restaurant. awful chemistry. on the last one he has to me. he walks in. he sits across from me. he says, and this is the worst thing you could ever hear from an ex, the okay. it sounds like this. maybe i'm from the country. don't say

all county and i never thought that this could happen to me. my number's all that is gonna happen. i was 25. so it was a few years ago. it was the 1st time, the 1st time being with a guy. the 1st time died ever. you know, and i was angry. i'm ok now. i was angry. yeah, everybody. oprah winfrey, that was the only time that i remember hearing about it was own oprah winfrey and maybe that's my fault. maybe i'm very sheltered, obviously for i just never taught it wasn't my reality africa, you know, i feel about signing that stuff. i've seen father having sex. i found it was all very new to me. i never was in the sign in the doctor's office or anything. i've never once even seen the sign we were at when, when we were drinking, i broke down. it broke down right in front of me. he was sobbing. he was sobbing

uncontrollably. i've never seen a product that stops. i've never seen another car. like i said, what's wrong? what's wrong with you, my thing. and a, he just told me he just stayed kindly, unlikely were having sex with each other obviously. but he himself was out in the dark about this whole thing. i don't think he even realized how he sighed and talked to me. i want to find out what's happened there is he's also given me a story. i haven't given it to you and it's going to move through all of our buddies. okay. and we're going to share it. and in doing that, we're masking him. we're blowing his identity obviously, so nobody can really imagine team which one he's like because woman is here at the maximum. he's there the next minute. and it's kind of like the way a volume is, can move to people and well, instead of focusing on the virus, i focus on the live experience, the human detail of what happens to our so okay. i, we do a little more time. yeah. all right. 123, the

i grew up in a cancer state in dublin and we were very poor family like my mom basically raised 5 of us. i always felt like the exciter and like family. cuz i was, i was a bit more feminist one. they were into sports, i was into books, wasn't until i started developing friendship or the career people that i was going to career places that i was going to show up in phoenix. just because i was like, this is home. to say it was a new world opened up to me, it's kind of an understatement. i got to understand actually, you know, i come here and make some steps there. is that normally to be in homosexual?

but then enjoying the clearness of the credit as well. a system really fun tie him up in years of repression. there wasn't one thing that it would have changed if it might colored yours from like, you know, 18 to 21 was the height. the then i went from a very for sexual health check to find out more to tell this story, the drug of a rubbing lauder. i'm showing the i sat down and the consultant was looking at this computer for a few minutes. and then she turned to me, she said probably last time you came back here. you go to h, i v tests. and i said, yeah, the normal blogs. she said when it came back positive. no, not good. you were 21. uh yeah, i have no clue. i need

a kid to be existing norton's, i don't know if it was denial or just something that didn't impact. so it didn't happen every day, but you had to make 5 phone calls. i certainly knew the 5 and i should a 100. i didn't know anything about the driving because we never had those discussions. so i was kind of kept up at night because of my own huge ivy and diagnose as well as like if i didn't know anything they don't and i know have to be effective my immune system. so i decided to meet up with them face to face, showing being one of them just as i go get checked. although i have support there from friends and family discount. so alone, that was a shock, a lot of stuff to show that i haven't changed it again. so those 2 there for us. how are you

obviously you were making a piece of work that's not gonna pay to have a disclosure in our them today. and not something i love us just to key to the front of our minds all the time is the fact that every line on every sorry that you are going to encounter with the text. it's based on an experience. it's a true story. it actually happens. somebody, and just with regards to how we're going to work, it's totally fine with those that you don't necessarily want jump with the people and how they are in real life. that's totally okay. and when we kind of have you represent them, you know, and you'll learn from our line and for example, and it's totally okays with me that the audience are looking at a moment from the end. because i probably as a moment, i'm the man who was also negotiating a similar circumstance that we're keeping those 2 kind of balls in the air. and robbie has introduced me to a lot of the people whose stories were going to town and they would love to be able to tell those stories themselves. but unfortunately a lot of them feel as though they conduct the moment. i was wondering what to be like, do you maybe want to climb into sharing it a bit though, just not someone who was living with page id and learning today, like kind of a little bit about that stigma and white is blocking people from, you know,

telling their own stories themselves. yeah. which is huge, crushed and she never put them. ultimately. i think that so many people in orland are silent about the status because society has silenced us. and i think, you know, in this whole work that we're doing, it's and on spring to really big questions, you know, the 1st question is a, how a society side of things. how are they making us keep our secret? and the 2nd question is, why are we to hundreds of people living in this country allows the sites to say, we have to keep the secret. and so i suppose that's a good opportunity to hear from the transcripts that we have yet to hear from the women via the testimonies that they've and very generously given us. my own doctor said to me, i'd rather tell you you're hate to. i'd be positive, been diabetic because it's more manageable. i don't know how you get that message out to the general population. i know it would surprise not people. if i came in, people don't see healthy young women like me, i'm pink,

they could be hate or the positive for it could be literally. i mean, 6 months after i was diagnosed, i got into a bad relationship. he was really abusive. so i haven't been any one since i'm a strong person. i've always been independent. i think i felt i am so lucky. he wants to be with me even though and page i'd be positive. but now i actually feel someone shut it off me because i'm h i v positive it kills me that i can't talk that it with people. not that i want to talk better when everybody. sometimes i just wish i could tell me that because we're really close, but i know it would just break his heart so i won't ever go there. ringback i've met another woman who was the same as me tray was duty. we both to parents in rid of him, power lives. it's great. i'm always trying to show, or there are positives to this. have all these free

friends now. why never would a man a time sometimes it's just, it's very moving because she had a lot of sleep and she says it and really simple there. yeah. you know like very, really simple. like that's just a reality. like we're just i had been performing as the dry character calls data for almost 30 years. and i like to say that i'm the most beautiful woman in the world, in my price range. and that's very beta, that's kind of a side the i grew up in the air of clear pop, you know, with people like boy george and dead or alive. be shiny like 2 little queer kid like me. apart from those people. there wasn't much else on offer

in dublin, in the 1980s. the church was still very strong. when i was a kid to be homosexual with jail illegal. when i was the teenager, even when i came out with still a legal i've lost friends over the years and even more recently and g to h, i p related illness. and what i understood when i came out on the scene and started meeting and gave people who are a bit older than me was how many people they knew and how many people they had lost in 1982 aids was something you call to abroad. now you can catch it here, and the number of 8 cases is doubling every 9 to 12 months with the global academic schools on growing affective action is still being hindered and complacency about age spreading. here's some found if i ever think with them in the past to can i remember shocking television ads that were really terrifying and the messaging all

being about gay man and drug users. and those were 2 things that you just really didn't want to be today. if you play around, the stakes are too high because your gambling with age meet an age carrier. and although condoms give some protection, just one after the divorce may give you age and leads to death. leaving around is a gamble, casual sex spread aids. there was really nobody in ireland if i were having this asap, atomic, but absolutely nobody is sick. it's very strange. the only person i can actually think of is tom again to the dice. man. he was one of the few out there, clear people that i knew existence. so i was upset with him and her member as a teenager, as soon as i was kind of free to get on the bus and go to town on my own,

one of the things that i be going to do is try to find the dice, man i'm always trying to get a wink or get him to blow case at me. get some kind of special acknowledgement because i felt like, you know, he sees me like he knows about me. he was test, you know, following his passion and i'm making it work. and i think that influenced me usually everything that happens to me after that the, i think if i got a lot of images online. yeah. there's one image that i think that stands out to me more than the others just because there's a few reasons if it all white book and i think yeah, that's really powerful. chris and also that is great class cars and i'm really

interested in the plaque guys. because i think it's a great way to, you know, the old fashioned way to just get the message out there. so having that kind of the image because it's when the actual dice man shop is still open, which is where he got his name. he went down to the shop just by the people in the street, the address and everything. yeah. yeah. that, that's the street gaming. yeah. there's lots of good stuff. i love the transgressive stuff. like the mount elisa, it's amazing. i'm the show girl because they're kind of confrontational, especially in that. yeah. 1980, you know, and uh, got some pictures here and we have the files, let's say slow. okay. yeah. okay, click jessica. this is oh yeah. this is the one. and i love this whole look, i love the color, i love divide. and what i was thinking was instead of blood that we could use lipstick cases useful? i guess romantic, it's what i'm calling macro mancy. i was so in love with the dice man's to fine. yeah, i want to do something really loving. yeah. i'm this,

i have just love it is amazing for the jeff and i'm more street as a vampire. yeah. and it's magical because people are terrified and lives at the same time. the canals are the people squealing like children. yeah. it's unbelievable. and that's, i guess the but then that he talks to this older guy who's that really chimed by him. and he bought some a couple of times and make some of that. but then the last thing that old guy says is something like the be careful not to get a piece of advice. it was the it was maybe a little too late for the yeah. the i made an appointment for myself to walk on the train alone. i didn't tell anybody

of as.
