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 this is 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 they cannot be any peace with assad in power as the regime says we will hand over our regions to the regions we will never hand from 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 petris cain people id then run the problem however if it comes in to defend y p g the nothing and nobody can stop us or turkish soldiers simple if as'ad took over africa and africa syrian territory he could this arm or sideline the y.p. ji ankara'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 a free 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. ji the white p.g.d. are afraid that assad will sell them out to the turks and asaad assad probably wants both gone we spoke to journalist danny markey who says surprisingly enough both sides and are looking to us for decisive action. well it is ironic because both the kurds and the turks have 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 factory's 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 a third would be better than making a deal on 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 think it's 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 and it's filling the vacuum created by this tension and this crisis. over to japan now where recently discovered secret government documents have shed light on the practice of forced

sterilization which affected thousands of people with mental or physical health issues the pursuit it was carried out under the now scrapped eugenics protection law it was adopted after the end of world war two and was in force up until nine hundred ninety six it permitted sterilization to quote preserve the purity of the japanese race victims are now seeking compensation from the state and we spoke with one of them. has a hard time getting through the middle school. one of the teachers took me in as a casting at his house that i was constantly being used by his wife i never got enough never got paid and never had the chance to see the official paper 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 drink water that's what i remember. at the time my parents told me that i was operated on and now i cannot have a baby my father didn't agree to reach us forced to sign documents by my teacher and welfare reform. bill i had many chances to get married when i was young but after the operation i felt period i married and divorced and married again my husband left me when i told him about the operation. of the committee further recommends that the state party adopt specific measures aimed at providing victims of forced sterilizations with assistance to access legal

remedies provide them with compensation and rehabilitative services. the government should make opponent pay compensation to them if i was not forced and the guy they'll break should be happy i know i will suffer until the end of my life if only i feel in time 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. 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 operators one hundred structures 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. 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 during 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 their statements describe accounts of alleged atrocities perpetrated not only by the taliban or by islamic state but also by the afghan army and by american military

forces stationed there and some of the testimonies were submitted on behalf of a number of people so the actual number of alleged crimes could be higher we spoke to a hiwatt fifty two members of whose family were killed in the conflict. in fact there are different kind of war crimes happened in afghanistan in the past sixteen seventeen years american born villages where the parties that's one kind of crime another type of crime afghan security forces into 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 in the early two thousand and jennifer breeden who's an attorney specializing in foreign policy believes it's going to be very difficult to bring

about various forms of justice. there could be many more claims that come out these claims have come out against three different factions the taliban and their how conny network in afghanistan also against afghan government forces are at the afghanistan military there and as well as u.s. military and u.s. military personnel and afghanistan's now on the domestic side the united states military code has a very strict and 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.

. a medal winning for russia is still waiting to learn his fate after becoming embroiled in a doping scandal at the winter olympics in south korea i saw that a crucial new allegedly returned to drugs solve all the tested positive for. the results of his second test are expected to be announced shortly the offaly debuted with his wife and teammate honest i see it but its goal of mixed doubles coding at this year's games last week they clinched russia's first of a big medal in the discipline after beating the norwegian pair and finishing. reportedly believes that his food or drink may have been spiked. but that was presuming you don't need to be a secret agent to give athletes a bottle with any kind of banned substance that totally unprotected just put it in a hotel room it's easy if you can see the bottle and it's like locked then it can open it you can see it was locked he open it drink it and as long as you keep an

eye on the bottle that's fine if you just like turn it around for a second don't use this bottle the substance in question is believed to boost insurance and increase recovery it was widespread in russia or and eastern europe before it was banned two years ago and the latest potential doping scandal shocked many in the coding community a sport where skill and precision come before brute strength i really don't think that in curling helping is useful i think in curling both is really important and it's like mansell and physical side so the doping is absolutely no excuse full at this aspect i don't really understand what what it would approve or what it would improve you and your game going to things that. i don't understand what it will do for you and many of russia's medal hopefuls are missing out these games as they were not clear to compete by a live picture despite having no doping history though there were no big hopes for

the olympic podium some young russian athlete still managed to knock up some decent victories in a patrol car reports. russia's top ski racers were made to sit out chang to a meeting their ski boots were big ones to step into but against the odds these judy years pulled it off all you need to know about the performance of russia's young cross-country skiing team is on this board at the house for russian fans unbelievable but almost half of the o.e. are medals so far for one by the cross-country squad now the norwegians russia's number one rivals in the sport know they'll need to keep looking over their shoulders b.o.h. america didn't use these the best. but i think the younger ones will come in next year on so who's hot on norway's heels made twenty one year old dennis speed solve

who's already won a bronze and a silver n.p.r. chang almost i feel proud for spit so off you see this young guy winning bronze here this was a great surprise for me was dedicated himself completely to the sport how is it possible not to support such passion in africa and if it was the athletes fuel or. the performance against all the odds wouldn't have been possible without. a former olympic champion now in charge of the washing cross-country skiing federation she wasn't allowed to come to korea as an official or a coach so yanis here at all the races as a thin client tears she was the one who raised the new generation of olympic medalists in skiing us just before our athletes were suspended from competition the initial plan was to get one gold medal one that's a silver and then won all those who bronze but given the fact that we came to the olympics missing eight athletes six and reach our team leaders in world skiing i

said if we only one promise it will mean there we've done better than we planned five medals and counting by the clean young determined cross-country athletes from russia. still to come here on the program not everyone is thrilled about of the high praise for the new superhero movie black panther will try to explain why after a short break. what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to be rich. to going to be for us this is what the before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters and out. there should.

seem wrong all right old fellow just don't call. me. yet to say proud just to come to educate and engage me because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
