as a result of starvation sickness violence there. sally is a survivor she a sister and brother were abandoned by their parents years ago they divorce. and left the children to fend for themselves out on land. and all. almost don't want to learn that she spends her days begging stealing playing and surviving no easy lot for them in this life. they went from home to home to live in the streets they beg for money to stay alive inside today's sick for sally bags alone for my neighbors who knew their family have taken pity on the kids and have looks out for them but it's not easy mark of us now but i wanted to take her in but she kept escaping that i sent

people to look for her but she never stays in one place long show escapes. well there. are no. sally's sister all she has left since her brother died of starvation we found the older girl at the end of this gloomy bullet riddled cargill is a room with broken windows in it leaves a young girl with only flies bloodstain mattresses for company. about a month ago sagitta who doesn't remember her age was brought in with a head injury when she fell she damaged an implant that siphons away the fluid different people tell different versions some say the full was accidental others

attempted suicide but i'll but i but if fluids keep building and there will be consequences she will lose her sight hearing and the ability to swallow much of the pressure on her bringing has grown. in hospital i don't know she'll find new cures indeed as order as we were filming a nice a shell landed just a few hundred meters away sagitta needs to get to damascus to survive but lacking identification relatives and trapped in a war zone it's difficult to see how that's possible. sagitta doesn't get many visitors but there is one vigil person who always makes a smile that. if left alone sagitta begins to scream and cry she needs people the story has

spread and good. barrett's institution is that i mischka a woman once came to the hospital and heard the screaming she followed it and found the girl since then she's been coming two or three times a day to care for her to wash or to feed her she never knew this girl bushra whose own daughter is disabled is not rich all middle class she's poor but a kind hearts goes a long long way that either that are the end of everything my friend and i can do we will do for her as well dr abdul majid of the law everything are right up to the moment when she stands up and can see that there is cause for optimism sidesteps suffering has touched a chord action is being taken to get the girls out of bed as sought but for now all they really have aside from promises p.t.

is each other or i guess the team from that is on syria. now meanwhile just forty kilometers north of barrows all the syrian army is steadily advancing against eisel they're chasing terrorists out of the city of al my indeed considered one of islamic states last stronghold in the province we can show you some video received from the front line.

where turkey has also launched a military operation against the terrorists is targeting former al nusra militants in syria's northwestern province of the move follows turkey russia and iran reaching a deescalation deal for the water nation last month. this order that you called we cancelled the server happens half moves you can know that. we have to extend her brothers now this step has been taken and it is the way we won't allow for the creation of a corridor or a lot border with syria. well ankara is now supporting the free syrian army against . terrorists in a mission that's being coordinated with moscow turkish troops are poised at the syrian border but have not yet crossed into the country where middle east specialist believes there's now a tacit agreement between ankara and damascus well the very fact that. this time around when turkish observers and troops are heading into the country and we

haven't heard from the syrian government instead this has gone into you know a further step previously when turkey when into syria for example in northern syria in general because to drive out isis or die the syrian state did not endorse the operation on the called it in a in an official statement as an aggression. now adays we've heard or previous like you know one or two weeks ago we've heard the syrian foreign minister say that this is going to be like a test for turkey so this is a step for which tells you that the cooperation between the countries has taken a step forward and apparently to what he's hoping to take it all along the way to ease the syrian crisis is out. hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets of basra logo on sunday to back spanish unity and denounce the council on governments push for independence the rally comes amid speculation that cover catalonia as president may portray in the region an independent state in the

address to the regional parliament on cheers day r.t.s. anastasio check it out is in barcelona. i. you know it's. their region. but the ninety percent of those who came out to vote in favor weaving spain goodbye in october first also expects promises to be kept for the over eight hundred people injured on the day of the referendum the question of could it also have been for nothing is now lou. it's from behind these walls of the castle on parliament that the next big steps

for the region are expected to come from catalan leader carlos putsch demond promised action towards independence within forty eight hours of official referendum results but has avoided specifics since this week all eyes will be on what happens here next. well among those who came out in support of catalonia remaining part of spain were groups the far right activists they were waving the spanish chanting slogans and also giving nazi salutes. well meanwhile the spanish prime minister has given his first major interview since the independence referendum. has vowed to take any measures necessary to prevent the region breaking away including suspending its autonomy when we gauge reaction to his comments in catalonia. we are going to prevent independence from occurring that is why i can tell you without salute frankness that it will not happen. it seems wrong to me because he thinks so but because in a democracy the president must protect the people's right to choose our goal was to

do as little damage as possible what happened was due to stubbornness and holding a referendum when they knew it was absolutely illegal it was very irresponsible of those who made that decision but. i think the government has behaved very severely and aggressively towards a kind of legitimate and democratic demand of catalan citizens it's a battle for europe it's a battle for european values and we have to win the national populism goes against european values. european i don't think so because europe should give us more support it doesn't seem to me that there's a battle going on between his government and you who does not say anything that makes sense he does not listen he does not try to hold a dialogue and i do not understand why he is still in his post if he was receptive and humane person he would resign. well meanwhile the council of europe has called on the spanish authorities to ensure an independent investigation into all

allocations of police misconduct during the referendum but spain's interior minister immediately hit back. security forces as per instructions from the judicial powers acted prudently proportionately and appropriately to guarantee respect for the law and the protection of rights and freedoms of all citizens while the condemnation came from the council of europe a powerful human rights group but unconnected to the you meanwhile brussels has failed to call for any probe into the nearest claims of police misconduct during the voting and political commentator john white's warms continued silence from me could encourage further violence from madrid even though mr hoyer has already set a precedent when it comes to using force against cattle on separatism. it seems likely that you'll be able to do so again especially with the possible really no. statement for us is a good response to the violence and then it's later more considered statement which

is what you're going down with mr gore's position that referendum is illegal and in the declaration of independence. on the cattle on the children likewise the illegal and this is what he in because this in many ways could give license to mr hall images to unleash more violence. and more stronger methods to try and disrupt and halt and even perhaps even go to the extent of arresting the regional government led by. now us president donald trump has lumped together to have this big atmosphere is like using terror on opposite porting pyongyang it comes while the u.s. is talking both the korean crisis and threatening to scrap the iran nuclear deal. i believe they're funding north korea i believe they're trading with north korea i believe they're doing things with korea that is totally inappropriate in terms eyes iran is teaming up with another arch enemy of the united states but hey there's no

challenge that trump can't overcome i think that the president is the one that's keeping the world from chaos the truth is this coming week dahlan trump is expected to take a major step to question the game changing nuclear deal reached with tehran that's despite the fact that iran has been playing by the rules the u.n. nuclear agency the e.u. and the trumpet ministration itself have all confirmed the country is playing ball and sticking to the agreement washington has been trying for months to confuse the matter by adding a bit of double speak we agreed on the wrong is in technical compliance the deal is a nuclear deal the agreement is that even if they are in technical compliance technically it wants a violation of the nuclear rights i'm all for agreements but that was a bad one they have not lived up to the spirit of their agreement they are not living up to the spirit of their agreement but that attempt left

a couple of questions hanging in the air how do you determine if the spirit of the deal is being violated and is that reason enough to back out so unsurprisingly that approach wasn't quite cutting it and perhaps that's what trumps latest strategy involves adding another international troublemaker p.n. yang to the mix the aggressive rhetoric between north korea and the white house has put the possibility of nuclear war on everyone's minds and with no solution to that in sight we are now also facing the possible consequences of dismantling the nuclear deal with the iran on friday trump met with top military officials reportedly addressing the agreement and left everyone uncomfortable with an impromptu and rather ominous message are you. going to. the world is perplexed by what that could possibly mean but we think we have a pretty good idea storm donald is already making landfall batten down the hatches . well if donald trump does go ahead and decertified is the nuclear deal it could lead to new u.s.

sanctions against tehran and there are reports they could target iran's key security force the revolutionary guard by designating it as a terror group but the forces commander has already hit back warning it will respond by equating the pentagon to still iran's president is also standing firm against the u.s. rhetoric adding that trump will be unable to reverse the nuclear agreements no matter how hard he tries. the u.s. under the nuclear deal we have achieved benefits that are irreversible nobody can roll them back and neither mr trump nor other trumps those benefits are in reverse you know mr trump is a very unpredictable person but all indications seem to show that that's what he is going to do and if he does decertify the agreement basically it will show the international community that the united states is an untrustworthy country and it's not a country that you can negotiate with and i think the same is true with any country

that wants or is even contemplating negotiating with the united states so the united states for its itself more than anyone else and if it wishes to increase sanctions on iran then i think the iranians will find their means to retaliate. the war in eastern ukraine is into its fourth year despite the conflicts now ready making world headlines people there are still struggling to meet their most basic needs the government in kiev considers the area an occupied territory and is refusing to send support such as salaries or pensions but that hasn't stopped one western citizen from reaching out to help. if. there is a monkey. here this one right. away

his scholarship would go downwards just yet it. just. may i can grant. you will on your recent documentary track a real heartbreaking in yet sad story the star of the show must go to princess masha i mean closing grounds in the let's head to go to masha and family.

think i grew up in. subsequent years. and we'll have more news out of the shop right.

what politicians do something. to put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president if you. want something i want to. let you go right to be this is what. three of the people. interested always in the white house. thank you.

welcome back at least the f.b.i. reports sparking anger off to the agency expressed concern over what it called black identity extremists the report claims that causing an increase in violence against nor enforcement officials but activists insist it's just another attempt by all saw it is to strip the black community of its right to protest. well a controversial report comes in the wake of widespread protests by black lives matter activists in st louis in the state of missouri they took to the streets last month following the acquittal of a white officer implicated in the killing of a black motorist back in twenty eleven well police arrested over three hundred protesters over the course of eighteen days in september and october but officers were accused of using violent tactics against the demonstrators.

well officer jason stokley was charged with a first degree murder and miss the officer said he saw smith holding a gun and felt he was in imminent danger but prosecutors accuse stokley of planting a gun in smith's car after he shot him. we will all i was. in the all.

war protestors have come out ever since stokley was acquitted and we spoke with one of the protest organizers who accuses the police of an almost military response. we are saying from the police force is a very militarized reaction we've been. we've been mazed we've seen quetta languishes when they block us and from us eyes into mass a wrist of one hundred to one hundred fifty people people that have not been a part of the process they just happen to be in the area and while there have been arrested they have gotten mayes they have been sitting in jail for twenty four hours and then a lot of times they get released without any charge against them so what we are saying is a police force that is governing how we express our first amendment rights and when they get tired and when they get upset they militarize it against the people.

now diplomatic relations between turkey and the us have suffered another blow ankara has cut these are services that its diplomatic facilities across america in response to washington taking the same steps allowing the detention of one of its conchubar employees recent events have forced the united states government to reassess the commitment of the government of turkey to the security of u.s. mission facilities personnel in order to minimize the number of visitors to our embassy and consulates want this suspend proceeds effective immediately we have suspended all immigrant visa services at u.s. diplomatic facilities in. well the employee in question who worked at the u.s. consulate in istanbul was arrested last week he's accused of espionage and plotting to overthrow the turkish government and proclaims he has links to exiled cleric

particular goodland who lives in the u.s. and whom the turkish authorities say was the most a mind behind last year's failed coup attempt well turkey has long been urging the u.s. to extradite the creature that washington is so far refusing to act but that's just one issue stoking tension american support for kurdish forces fighting islamic state has also angered ankara which sees both groups as terrorist organizations also during a visit to the u.s. back in may the turkish president's bodyguards were caught on camera attacking oppositional tossers. well turkish politics expert hussein baggy of the middle east technical university told us relations are likely to deteriorate further. in the history we have this type of. and the tension will increase because the american thought on the turkish side are ready if you want to fight in this case and probably in the coming days there will be some other measures from both sides

it is not a good thing for nato members is not good for a start is it and it has not yet nor. put it like this but the tendency is not very promising the more toward america will have different views not only in syria about the in others issues. well that's all for this hour for more news dot com otherwise i'll be back with the latest headlines in just over thirty minutes.

and the hour in gears here are you going to be are you going to. kill you know mr milosevic. so in other words are the. bush the glad i'm. not telling the number. of i think a country that. got up out of the. day that be important. remember the strong room of the room the truth of the. who knew. you become worthless.
