plans to send troops to syria's afrin where the turkish army is fighting against kurdish forces. in japan recently discovered a secret state documents on the practice of forced sterilization have prompted victims to break their silence and seek compensation i know i will suffer until the end of my life if only i should be packing time because my comment. at the international criminal court received over a million testimonies from afghans alleging war crimes perpetrated by among others the taliban islamic state the afghan military and u.s. army personnel. tuesday morning here in moscow thanks for joining us with r.t. international headlines. there are conflicting reports that a new player has joined the military operation in syria is our friend with the

turkish army is fighting kurdish forces according to some sources president assad has struck an alliance with the kurds and is sending troops to the region to support them however the kurdish y p g militia has denied this saying it's only in talks with damascus artie's model because india has details africa has turned into a bloodbath a grinding war that is claiming dozens if not hundreds of lives every day. turkish soldiers their rebel allies die in droves near a thousand dead reportedly the kurds the y. p g p k k or p y d some estimates put their losses over

a thousand in a matter of weeks the turkish operation an average isn't so much an advance as it is a meat grinder these senseless yet according to the belligerence necessary slaughter and it's hurting everyone we can cooperate with any side that lends us a helping hand in light of the barbaric crimes and the international silence there is a possible solution one that could stop this madness a man the least likely candidate of all. is that assad is clearly a terrorist and is carrying out state terrorism there is no peace in syria and it cannot be any peace with assad in power. the regime says we will hand over regions to the regions we will never run for them over that was

then before the us led anti isis coalition began butchering each other now when everyone's dying and they need him as said isn't such a bad guy anymore. if the regime is entering that cleanse the petri cane people id then there are no problems however if it comes in to defend why p.g.a. the nothing and nobody can stop us turkish soldiers in simple if asked had took over africa and africa is syrian territory he could this arm or sideline the y.p. ji and korea's enemy would be neutered and there'd be no more need to throw away turkish lives the kurds in turn would survive and africa will be turned into another crater it's the least bad solution so far the only solution to stopping this now. complicated question but

it is a very good step it's good news for us may god help them and everyone who supports but honey collette analysis we are all very happy about this decision we want this crisis to end so people can return to their homes we are waiting for the pro-government forces to help us it's early days the details are still being worked out the issue is no one trusts anyone the turks are afraid asaad will ally with the y p g the white b.g. are afraid that assad will sell them out to the turks and asaad assad probably wants both gone we spoke to journalist danny makki who thinks both sides are now looking to our side for decisive action. well it is ironic because both the kurds and the turks of a different time stated their absolute condemnation of the syrian government and their unwillingness to deal with with president assad or the government at any particular moment in time now now both of these groups are now looking at the

massacres as some sort of peacemaker in this conflict because the first factories desperation both sides cannot find an ultimate solution to this conflict which is a murder i mean the turks are losing troops and tanks on a day to day basis because in the south and no allies by any stretch of the imagination but they view that as a deal with assad would be better than making a deal on a very weak terms with the turks the second factor is the lack of the definitive role of the united states of america which is essentially thing its two main allies either in syria or next to syria fighting each other now that's the chaos so damascus has just stepped into the void now and is filling the vacuum created by this tension and this crisis. over to japan now where recently discovered a secret government documents of shed light on the practice of forced sterilization which affected thousands of people with mental or physical health issues the

procedure was carried out under the eugenics protection law and we spoke with one of the victims. has a hard time getting through the middle school. one of the teachers took me in is a casting at his house that i was constantly being used by his wife i never got sent to never got paid and never had the chance to see the official page to back my diagnosis either she hated me. my teacher took me for a magical chacon and i was taken to hospital he didn't explain anything. when i woke up i was there stephen they told me not to treat us but i remember.

last time my parents told me that i was operated on and now i cannot have a baby my father didn't agree to a pretty much forced to sign documents by like teaching and welfare reform. though i had many chances to get married when i was young but tough to the operation i found some period i'm married and divorced i'm married again my husband left me when i told him about the operation. the committee recommends to adopt specific measures aimed at finding a tims with the sisters to access an equal remedies and provide them with compensation and rehabilitative said this is. the government should make opponents pay compensation to them if i was not forced

to give the impression. i know i will suffer until the end of high and i really i could be back in time as i caught. the woman's lawyer told us the fight is far from over as he says the japanese government is turning a blind eye to the problem. well two and a half years ago i received a call from mrs zucker it was the first time i'd heard about this matter we found out that people were taken to the facilities and forcefully operated on under instructions from the government it was a whole organized system japan still has a problem with ideas and eugenics and those who claim that disabled people have no right to live some psychometrist have started speaking out about the things that they did back then instead of taking their licenses away i think it would be better to ask them to bring their confessions to light and open up the issue now that we're discovering the truth we need to make those responsible apologize their

actions and make sure the victims get compensation it's clear now that the main problem here is the japanese government continuing to ignore the problem and advice from the un. japan is not the only country that has at some point resorted to forced sterilization programs inspired by eugenics among the notable examples are germany under the nazi rule and sweden both countries have since offered compensation to the victims the. afghan citizens have submitted more than a million statements to the international criminal court alleging they were victims of war crimes the court began collecting testimonies in november last year the statements describe accounts of alleged atrocities perpetrated by not only the taliban or by islamic state but also by the afghan army and by american military forces and some of the testimonies were submitted on behalf of several people so the actual number could be higher we spoke to abdullah the founder of the afghanistan now when research and studies organisation he told us about his own

experience of war crimes through which he lost most of his family. fifty two people from my family have been killed by a warlord and we have been submitting documents to the afghan government ever since and there is no there is no justice being served dissent a group of people to go to a province and check in their situation and the warlord to give money and just get away with it in fact there are different kind of war crimes happened in afghanistan in the past sixteen seventeen years american born villagers do bomb wedding parties that's one kind of crime another type of crime afghan security forces enters villages. without any reason do you kill people without you know i didn't do fighting with the dealer against the government or dia just simple people living in the village at the end of last year the international criminal court released

a statement alleging american armed forces as well as the cia committed war crimes in afghanistan two thousand and three to two thousand and four jennifer braden who's an attorney specializing in foreign policy believes it's going to be very difficult to bring about justice. there could be many more claims that come out these claims have come out against three different factions the taliban and their hakani network in afghanistan also against afghanis government forces or of afghanistan military there and as well as u.s. military and u.s. military personnel in afghanistan now on the domestic side the united states military code has a very strict in stringent of very long lists of laws that military personnel men and women have to be subject to and they have to follow but in terms of international crimes that fall under the jurisdiction of the international criminal court then you know then the u.s. cannot be held under their jurisdiction because the united states is not

a signatory to the rome statute which created the international criminal court so in that case it would be less likely that they'd be brought to justice by member states or those that are aligned or fall under the jurisdiction of the i.c.c. . it's been one year since fatality chuckin one of russia's most prominent diplomats pasta white you served as russia's ambassador to the u.n. during one of the toughest periods in global relations the most he died on the eve of his sixty fifth birthday of the hottest. if you want to talk to my country in a commanding tone we get. our
