the government has got the responsibility for this explosion because of their syria policy, and again and again, due to the syrian policy. brent: so you are saying that the opposition is saying that the government of president eric on -- president erdogan is to blame. what about the pkk? reporter: they did not mention about the pkk exactly. and they are say that the

prime minister says there is an international link between the terror organizations and turkey in the center of the international league, so we are going to reach all of the service organizations. that is the point. brent: all right, thank you for the information. it has been concerned -- confirmed 28 were dead. thank you very much. and now to syria, where trucks delivering much-needed aid have reached besieged areas in the north of the country. it is relief that is desperately needed. according to the red cross, 12 million people inside syria need some form of immediate assistance, including half a million children. the five-year civil war has

displaced millions of people with man more fleeing their homes every day. currently 4.5 million syrians are sheltering in hard to reach an even besieged areas, and getting food, water, and medical supplies to them is a huge challenge, and with the economy on its knees, four out of five syrians are now living in poverty. in the effort to get aid convoys through is just the first step in efforts to end the conflict. reporter: amid the seemingly endless destruction in syria. this social media appears to show several aid trucks going to an embattled province. earlier, dozens of u.n. and syrian vehicles were packed and ready to depart for at least five locations occupied by both rebels and pro-government forces.

we have 18 trucks to one area, 21 to another, and then 32. according to the united nations, around half a million people have no access to basic supplies it 50 people were killed when several hospitals and schools were destroyed and airstrikes, and the german foreign minister is determined find a solution. "it is more evidence that we need to try anything to implement the second point of the munich agreement, in other words to reach a diffusing and easing of the conflict in the next few days to reduce violence. " the cessation of hostilities agreed by world powers last week in germany is due to come into effect on friday. however, the hour is last approaching, with fighting raging in several areas in syria.

brent: and tonight, all eyes on the woman you are about to see, germany's chancellor, angela merkel. she has once more sought to defend her immigration policy. in a speech to parliament, she spoke of the importance of finding a common european position on migration. she will be making the same speech at a conference of you leaders that kicks off tomorrow. today, she underlined that europe's very credibility is at stake. reporter: the german chancellor sees this as a pivotal point, nothing less than their ability to act in unison. she said the only way to diffuse the situation is with a common refugee policy working with turkey. "the only other option is to close the border and accept the consequences for greece and the eu as a whole."

the chancellor says they must also strengthen their maritime borders. "it is not a solution for a continent to partition its maritime borders and then say whoever is stuck on the other side is of no concern to us." the opposition says the most effective way is to stop regions. "there are many parties to the war in syria now. it is likely they are all fighting the german weapons. even if islamic state has them. that is a disgrace." the coalition partners support the policy. even if only a few eu parties are willing to play along, the senate will likely rubberstamp some measures. among them, a payment of 3 billion euros to turkey to help mitigate the causes of migration.

chancellor merkel is under pressure to return with results. brent: well, not content with waiting on a european solution, austria is forging ahead with new migration controls. he country used to support an open door policy but says it will now accept only 80 essilor applications every day. the country will also let in 3200 further migrants on a daily basis if they promise to travel on. reporter: this is the end of the line on the route where thousands of refugees usually wait to cross over into austria. on this day, there is none to be seen. the numbers have dropped, just as the eu summit in brussels is set to begin. border officials have no idea what is to become. "we cannot tell how the situation will develop in the next two weeks. we have been told to wait.

the winter weather usually plays a role." another idea is the tightening of the route. up to 13 previously unmanned border crossings in the south of the country will be staffed once again, and a fence will be erected on one pass according to the austrian interior minister. "we have to be up to anticipate a change in the migration route. that is why the government is making the necessary preparations to deal with it." this is a main entry point for freight crossing the outs. traffic could be severely constricted, and that is a nightmare for truck and rail traffic across europe. in addition to vehicle and identity inspection, austria plans to dispatch a flexible military reserve to thwart any activity at the border. brent: all right, let's bring you up-to-date with some of the other stories.
