russia says it's setting up humanitarian corridors to let civilians out of the syrian enclave of eastern goods however it's not clear whether rebel and terrorist groups occupying the area will allow anyone to leave. after a spectacular closing ceremony to the winter olympics we speak exclusively to fifteen year old figure skating gold medalist leaders are going to be about to a world record achievement. and with asylum seekers in greece struggling to find shelter jobs some are resorting to drug dealing and prostitution in order to survive to bring a firsthand account of their stories.

giving thanks for joining us my name's neil harvey this is art and. russia says that it's setting up humanitarian corridors in the syrian enclave of eastern ghouta to let civilians out of the war ravaged area but it's not clear if rebel and terrorist groups occupying that region will let anybody out but i guess the reports . it isn't working resolution twenty four one which called for a power and syrian ceasefire without delay so far is a dud everyone is interpret it in ways that suit them radical islamist terrorists ignore it josh al islam the army of islam has not stopped shelling damascus dozens of casualties over the last few days alone the syrian army says it has the right to defend itself against extremists until the shelling ends citing

a clause that excludes terrorists from this resolution but even then if you talk to syrians there's not all that much enthusiasm for this ceasefire. this truce is similar to the others and we will see it being violated this is the same old story and we are the ones who end up being harmed don't you see the children old people women and students who should we feel sorry for for these rebels. we are tired of shelling them every day about thirty to forty shells all here so let me add that i am against the troops because it only benefits the rebels i hope that it will be over soon and that no gunmen remain there but it's not only rebels and terrorists in east ghouta it's also civilians russia has announced the establishment of humanitarian corridors by which people can leave east ghouta it

says the syrian army will abide by a limited unilateral ceasefire to allow civilians to leave if they can rebels is limiting ghouta which include al qaida have barred civilians from leaving the enclave for years according to amnesty international and others and reportedly . they are still doing so we're talking here about the same rebels who came just women on roofs as human shields against as strike so no surprise it isn't just damascus and east ghouta that are burning its afrin in northern syria to turkey which says it is exempt from the ceasefire because it is carrying out an operation fighting the y.p. jeep syrian kurds whom it calls terrorists it says it will stop its operation

when we look at the un security council resolution we see that fight against terror organizations is outside its scope therefore it will not affect turkey's ongoing operation thousands have died over the last month of turkey's incursion turkish president ever do on and said this ceasefire has failed at this point resolution twenty four zero one looks dead on arrival. spinning out of water and running to abdel bari atwan good evening to you assertive think the idea of the humanitarian corridor is going to work in eastern. first it is a new idea this humanitarian corridor so we cannot actually tell whether it will succeed or not but i believe that the armed groups inside east go-to will not allow those people to leave simply because they know they will be the next target

after that and it will deprive them from a very strong media arm because those civilians that death among the civilian actually created a sympathy all over the middle east and all over the world but you know in previous truces we used to have the opposite i mean a truce so the armed militia all the armed groups would leave and these green busses so this time we are saying to the people to the civilians to leave the places where to this is a big question are they going to be some you know if you do you can waiting for them to host them so this is really a big question we still we don't have details about what will happen if those people actually responded positively and they start to see that the war area of the fighting is to go to the other points which is really a very very important is that you know for how long this will will will will take place we know that it is five hours every day so what will happen next is it going

to be bombardment all the bombing of that but i think a lot of that is asian and is good for and for how long this bombing also will continue it is very very. premature to tell actually what will happen but i believe this is that people respond that if the civilian where i love to leave is go to or to leave the fighting areas definitely this will reduce human casualties among those people but we have to remember there are these three hundred thousand civilian and east water how can we accommodate them if at least half of them manage to leave this fighting area. russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov has as claim that there's a decision for mason campaign underway he says it's targeting the syrian government first of all it's want to hear exactly the words of love are all. fake reports are being planted in libya about chlorine allegedly used in eastern guta news outlets

are citing an anonymous source from the us let me remind you we've been warning about such great stories since yesterday and there will be more such stories from social media from the white helmets a provocative with a history of freak reports especially when it comes to chemical attacks for which there is no evidence so these provocations will continue with the single goals to blacken the syrian government back using it evolved sorts of violations and workarounds. so we've seen in the worldwide media claims of hundreds of civilian deaths some reports of chemical weapons being used what do you think what sergey lavrov has said that is the mainstream media being balanced in its coverage. actually we witness the same this to ration of the facts and what's happening in these areas before doing a little for example we actually were bombarded with a lot of reports

a lot of videos saying bastard human casualties. a lot of figures we don't know to be honest but definitely there is at the limited campaign to mobilize people and the public opinion actually against these kind of attacks but i noticed for example as a journalist that there is no mention at all of the victims and the other side only of the victims of the bombardment of the syrian army or the syrian warplanes but nobody mentioned all talked about you know these. katyusha missiles or that shells you know kind of shells of certain courses of the capital damascus i think the things that the situation will continue i think human are used as you know a propaganda tools and these bloody war and in syria so this will continue i don't believe it will stop but definitely with this human humanitarian corridor or

actually could use that losses and also could embarrass people who are dying about this again and i wish you know there will be another move in order to accommodate those people who managed to flee this fighting areas and who manage actually today to save their lives and their children's lives also. the british foreign secretary boris johnson has reaffirmed support for military strikes against the syrian government he said if there is incontrovertibly evidence that chemical weapons were used my question would be can you ever have a situation that is incontrovertibly in such a disaster area if we think about the last time that the syrian government was accused of using chemical weapons the experts making these claims didn't even visit the site of the attack so how can sure can anybody be of anything in this area. well actually the americans said they have heard about the use of chemical weapons

against civilian and other parts of syria and. defense secretary mike here said you know we don't have any concrete evidence that the syrian government used or the see an army use these chemical weapons and after that actually died down completely so i wouldn't be surprised if there was some sort of reports saying that the syrian army used chemical weapons in order to justify any abstract or any moves of to detail that cease fire and a single star we know that i believe that but i shall the syrian determined to put an end to these shells you know kind of shells which actually show what anger that the syrian capital damascus so i wouldn't be surprised if you know they say that the syrian army used chemical weapons and. that's to divert attention from humanitarian corridors or the air force in order to isolate. the civilians

from armed groups which are controlling or radical rumors in fact because control and if so it is expected and i believe the syrian media actually with talking for months mind that this kind of pleading could be used again. so we don't know yet and they have every there's the problem is they can fabricate this evidence like what happened before so it is very critical time i believe we have to actually care about the civilians and that we should give priority to you know save those civilians from fighting or from bombardment and i believe this move could be actually a first step for that so that that action i think so my guess is that's authorized to abdel bari add to em. on to other news tensions are rising across italy as the country proposed to vote in general elections this

weekend police have been deployed in cities throughout the country to face opposing rallies either defending or slummy center right party forces expect further protests on election day and beyond the vote is not expected to produce a clear winner surf explains the key figures on the political stage. it seems general election a show like no other starring a convict a tramp want to be a poster boy confused well let me break it down for you the office contender is the ground's old age of eighty one and has a scandalous past of ford convictions and sex scandals and he's also been the former prime minister of italy multiple times silvio berlusconi i'm still young sure i'm ready to work. well at least he's young at heart and he has plenty of supporters. i will vote for berlusconi and the rest i don't care about he gets things done. due to his conviction he can become the prime minister himself but if

his go is only part he does well he could be the man to pick the head of the cabinet go absolutely it's a coalition which spans the range of italian center right politics is thought they could gain thirty eight percent of the votes part of this coalition includes our next contender my tale salvini and his leg a party for me my. italians first. battalion first wait a second doesn't that battle cry sounds familiar america first and i'm sure there's more. myron trump is the fact that he is keeping most of the promises he made during the electoral campaign now just like trump salvini tweets about anything and everything moving on swath it contender now the young face of the anti establishment party only if. thirty one years old the leader of the five star movement is seen by some as a bit of eye candy and he makes weight promises take. we are the only political

force that in recent years has made promises to the italians and has kept faith with those promises we are the only ones to renounce the privileges of politics while other politicians continue to obtain these privileges i give up my annuity and cut my salary. is the complete opposite of the party's found and stand up comedian but they grillo his cool calm and collected and it seems to have captivated young voters i will go with tomorrow tomorrow will be a baton and point i hope that the five star movement comes to power because it understands us young people better they are more aware about technology they think about the future of us young people but they're still a huge group of those and show which way to votes on march the fourth poll suggest almost a third of eligible voters are either undecided or will abstain honestly i don't trust anyone anymore. or mean they're all the same whichever political party it is

they come here they make their promises i say this i will do that but in the end it was nothing what they might have their reasons italy has seen sixty governments and even more prime ministers since the second world war that's roughly new cabinets every fourteen months so we'll see if any of these cars can sway the voters and stay long enough to actually keep any of their promises the polls also show the center left parties including the current ruling one are likely to struggle election however sundra goes into these junior minister for european affairs under member of the ruling democratic party believes that the large amount of undecided voters means that the outcome is not set in stone. there are four million of it and yes four media every day years who say that they would go to wall to the woods of course. they have to make up their mind and that is why the opinion polls of far are not reliable because. if we depend on the movement on the

electorate gave you all these four million people and also there are people who are abstaining that are in our elections who are saying they would have stayed and it is the duty of all the political forces in this week to first weigh the. number possible of voters to go to the polls because these are elections they need would be very important for. for our positioning in the european union and they see that they are also very important for the possibility to relaunch their european union. winter olympics in south korea have finished with norway topping the medals table olympic athletes from russia finished thirteenth the doping scandal having prevented many versions from taking part in to trying to round up the action. well seventy medals chang is only minus twelve if you compare it to twenty

nine team russian medals and saw a cheat this is not blowing result but it still deserves a huge round of applause given that most russia stars weren't even invited here by the international olympic committee so basically it was mostly a team of olympic newbies but i'll tell you what did blow the mind of russian fans here in p.n. chang it is the first gold medal by their men's ice hockey team in twenty six years the final was really tough neck and neck till the last second with surprise silver medalist germany and the red machine was able to show who's boss on an extra time game was very tough germany didn't get to the final for no reason it's great that we won but we leveled the school and then the final point in overtime i think this goal brought joy to millions of russian fans speaking of bosses on ice owais are won two gold medals at these olympics and the first one was no less pressure

will wear men's ice skating to russian teenage girls top the podium after breaking two world records one after another within fifteen minutes but of course you can't share one gold and thanks to one extra point from the jury. a fifteen year old girl from asia became the champion and we were the first t.v. channel to talk to her after she got off the podium in an exclusive interview. before competition i fully distanced myself from the outside world i didn't mind the attention from the journalists fans and the fact that i'm participating in the olympic games for me it was the same as any other competition of course i supported the other athletes from russia. but i didn't feel this big burden of responsibility maybe that helped me because of that the book spoke with you was so calm of your

performance and everyone said that the only source single tear what did you do to say so spoil. this i'm going to new this is a hit actually there are no tears at all that i'm always like that keeping my emotions to myself but when i go home i always share all my emotions with my parents. i think when i get home i will be dancing and jumping for joy i hope by the time i get home i will realize what i have achieved. so you haven't been jumping and dancing so far when you put it to work so you can but i get i only during my routine. what about your relationship with you again you made your rivals are nice but is it true that you were actually friends with that yes absolutely we have to go to have a coffee or a chat on social media between training we always share funny videos on instagram and have a good laugh together yes and there was a mission the order that all of you said you don't notice the media attention but

we have to ask you about the american skates ashley wagner who criticize your routine saying that putting all the very complicated elements at the end is basically cheating what would you say to her. no one goes because it just it if i can say that this only encouraged me to do more and better i wanted to prove even more that what she was saying is not true but you cannot prove anything to people like her you know that i say let her compete in the olympics with my program and i'll gladly see how she'll manage to do it of course figure skating is developing really fast nowadays there's always a new generation younger than me maybe someday i might think like that too because in my group there are some girls who can do quadruple jumps but i will try as hard as i can to stay in sport as long as i can i'm already thinking about the next season is that everything is skates and all you think about but there's still. for now i cannot think about anything else i try to be as careful as i can and not make any mistakes so i can stay in skating for as long as i can. in the sport while the

against israel's decision to levy taxes on religious properties the church of the holy several career is believed to be on the site where jesus was crucified shared by the greek orthodox armenian a stylish and roman catholic church is united in fear it israel's move has details . i'm standing here in one of the most sacred sites in christianity of the church of the holy city this is a place where does believe that christ was crucified and buried and ways arrested but as you can feel the door to the church is closed following a decision by church leaders after jerusalem municipality announced it was going to start collecting tens of millions of dollars in property taxes from churches for church and property without houses of worship now this flies in the face of a generations old agreement i've been talking to pull guns here from all over most of whom of course disappointed when it is they come to visit the city of jerusalem on the holy land and they're leaving their families the pool of blood and bill for

of money to spend on hotel is transportation. and so on to leaving their jobs and their leaving their family to come to his the church and they want to put the fun the church is closed we felt bad because we came all the way from the philippines and. this is actually one of the highlights or the highlights of the. pilgrimage and we were already in front of the church when the church was closed and that's really bad we were sad because one of the main reasons coming to israel was to visit the church for us to have to find a peaceful solution says should talk about it like a human being. sit down and don't use it politically for any saying not say israel is not such a church has no body just sit down and live what religion should be it should be
