they brought the political parties together, they made them talk, and they made them find a negotiated solution. >> it was difficult, but it is a precious achievement. i think it is an award for all the tunisian people and for the spirits of tunisia. we thought of achieving this political dialogue, and when we got these results, we were really moved. reporter: so this nobel peace prize came to reward tunisia but specifically the tunisians in civil society, the civil society that was silenced under b en ali before 2011 and that grew ever more powerful in the years after the revolution, civil society that is ever more important. reporting therefrom tunis. the president of belarus has praised his compatriot and arch critic, svetlana alexievich, who is been awarded the nobel prize

for literature. says he doesn't hold the criticism against her. long-term of the damage she was the soviet era has done and continues to do. alexievich: people come to me and say they are pleased therewith about book because it helps them better understand what is going on in russia, who these people are, why they are the way they are, why they gave up on freedom once again, why nothing is working out for them. and that is what i wanted. i wanted to explain that the romanticism we had in the 1990's when europe thought russia had opened up to the world and russia thought it would immediately become different, that those days are over now. and everyone realizes and understands that, well, there is a serious challenge facing us all now.

group.my is the i.s. bashar al-assad is the enemy of the syrian people. he is responsible for the chaos. reporter: france also accuses russia of propping up the syrian longtime ally. french authorities say up to 90% of russian airstrikes don't target the islamic state group, but syrian rebels. in these amateur videos, i witnesses say russian warplanes bombed provinces that are not controlled by i.s. -- but thate near line near one of bashar al-assad's strongholds. syrian state television has reported that government troops are gaining more ground, specifically in idlib, thanks to the russian air force. tom: it cost 500 million u.s. dollars, but nine months after

the pentagon launched its program to train thousands of syrian rebels, the initiative is being shelved. the u.s. effort has been complicated by russia's aerial bombardment in syria, which the pentagon says has been targeting all opponents of president bashar al-assad. speaking at a news conference in london, u.s. defense secretary ashton carter said various new approaches are being devised. secretary carter: with respect to the issue of training forces in syria that will take the fight to isil in a syrian territory, that is an important ingredient of our overall counter-isil strategy and the united states remains committed to that. we have been looking for several weeks at ways to improve the program. i wasn't satisfied with the early efforts in that regard. we are looking at different ways to achieve basically the same kind of strategic objective, which is the right one in which capable, motivated

forces on the ground to retake and reclaimom isil syrian territory from extremism. secretarydefense speaking there. in washington our reporter brings us this latest analysis. reporter: confusion as to the wording of this program. they are not calling it a termination, but rather, a shifting of focus, or a revamping of this program, which obviously has been moving much too slowly and not satisfying the secretary of defense, ashton .arter american officials basically not wanting to lead anybody to believe they are simply abandoning the idea of helping the so-called moderate syrian rebels, but rather, at this point they are looking at different options and models which have function, for

instance, the help that has been brought to the kurdish fighters in the north of syria, who have been helped, for instance, by aerial strikes led by the americans, and have successfully pushed back against the islamic state organization. that is one idea. another one would be distantly take a selected number of syrian rebels leaders and teach them how to coordinate airstrikes from the ground. those are the options being considered. american officials are openly, publicly exposing their frustration, if another disappointment, at the slow pace of this program, which was meant to see hundreds of millions of dollars budgeted towards training and agreement of moderate syrian rebels -- training and equipment of moderate syrian rebels. it is far from having met expectations, especially as the russians, in comparison to the russian operations, which has

been intensifying over the past few days. central european leaders are calling on brussels to do more to help with the ongoing flow of migrants. so far this year, more than half a million have crossed the mediterranean to europe. eritrean asylum-seekers have been relocated from italy to sweden, the first such instance in a new european scheme. reporter: the airport in northern sweden, the last stop that these 19 migrants, five long and 14 men, on their journey from eritrea. they've been rescued at sea over recent weeks and registered on this island before they flew to sweden from this airport in rome. the group hope to claim asylum and start a new life in the scandinavian country. >> i want to find the opportunities i do not have in eritrea and capitalize on it by studying law. >> they know they will arrive in

sweden legally on a plane without having to pay a trafficker, smuggler, and this is a very important thing for them. reporter: they are the first to benefit from the eu's relocation plan, which aims to ease the burden on southern border states could friday was a transfer the to-- a chance for the bloc show they are responding to the migrant crisis. >> now we have a very comprehensive policy on migration. we have this relocation and resettlement scheme that must be respected by everybody. reporter: what is the first arrivals touchdown, host country sweden said that it, too, was feeling the strain of migration flows. there is nothing to indicate that the number of people will diminish in the near future, and if this continues at the same pace as now, over 150,000 asylum-seekers are expected to come to sweden over the course of this year.

sweden says it is really struggling to find suitable housing for migrants and is starting to erect tents, which the government pledges will be ready and heated for winter. tom: for more, we can speak to a professor from the university of a versailles, who is a specialist on migration flows. thank you very much for speaking to us. do you think this sounds like a workable solution being proposed by the european union to resettle migrants from one country to another? >> well, for now it will be. we are talking about a limited number of migrants and refugees so i see no reason why this won't be working, especially they havehis case, expensive resettling refugees. they have been doing so for at least 20 years, the leader when it comes to resettlement. i see no reason why this video settlement would go wrong. the question is what to do with the future flows of refugees.

has designed a short-term solution that will only apply to 150,000 people, so the question is, what next? tom: well, what is the eu need to do in that case, in your view? this is tackling a very small number of people, and we're talking about hundreds of thousands of migrants. >> absolutely. that is what the eu should have been last month, set up a project in the eu, permanent mechanisms within the eu member states it clearly some even never states, especially in central europe, didn't want that, so they have gone for this short-term temporary solution, but the problem will rise again in a new flows of refugees will come to the shores of europe. sweden is one of

the countries that shoulders the largest part of the burden, along with germany, in terms of the numbers going there. are there certain countries that stand out in europe as doing next to nothing, in your view, countries that are not doing their bit to help? >> well, clearly, yeah. comes to mindthat is the united kingdom, and central and eastern european countries who have refused to take in the refugees. the question is from these countries, central and eastern is the euountries, going to send refugees to countries that don't want them? that seems difficult to envision to me. tom: thank you for speaking to us. thank you again. >> thank you. are running high in guinea as the country gears up for the presidential election, the west african nation's second ever democratic vote.
