headlines international russian efforts to introduce a humanitarian corridor or in syria's eastern ghouta criticized by the u.s. with the state department making accusations similar to those during the liberation of. german chancellor angela merkel look knowledges for the very first time the existence of so-called zones in the country. the belgian government faces a backlash over plans to make it easier for the police to conduct raids on the. migrants and we speak to one woman whose home was raided.

every hour thanks for joining us here with international we have the latest world headlines. shortly after a russian sponsored humanitarian pause came into force in syria's eastern guta as the u.s. state department. and the syrian government. russia is certainly not its hearing to this cease fire they are not adhering to the cease fire because they continue to sponsor and back to shar all assad's government violence in the rubble and terrorists hell damascus escalated earlier this month with both sides accusing each other of targeting civilians the un security council unanimously adopted a month long cease fire resolution all across the country additionally russia was also sponsored a five hour daily truce to help civilians escape the fighting in eastern guta however terrorists showed the humanitarian corridor according to russia's defense

ministry which try to help to set up the route before it was attacked just minutes later not a single civilian was able to leave the enclave on tuesday and the u.s. state department accuses russia of paying too much attention to one of the last terrorist hotbeds in syria. i find it ironic when russia calls for a humanitarian road a humanitarian zone you know what humanitarian zone is it's the entirety of syria not just one little area that russia acutely tries to carve out it should be the entire country because that is what russia and those fifteen other countries agreed to in the u.n. security council resolution united states has actually made very specific failure in syria and gaining the ground there and we've lost a lot of the ability to speak about that and so now it's just become on whoever's whoever's in charge or whoever might have something into playing the blame on russia but then saying it was their fault because russia had the power they should

have known it to tell us to put its forces out or to have militants stop doing that they're basically saying that russia is now in charge of syria rather than trying to find a solution as to why this five hour or any any hour seven hour any amount of cease fire won't work this is not up to russia this is not up to any one nation it's up to all the nations that are in syria to agree to the cease fire and i think it's just unfortunate this needed. continued pattern of really almost immature and childish behavior i'd be happy you have a department that is trying to blame russia or thumb other power when they really have what their foothold in syria inability to do anything benefit the humanitarian reason or to protect people or comparisons are now being drawn between the ongoing liberation of eastern ghouta and the former militant enclave of aleppo when twenty sixteen. to taking a closer look now the tangle of violence in east ghouta is morphing into lippold two point zero watching the mainstream media's coverage is almost like traveling in

a time machine back to twenty sixteen the president and his russian the accused of unleashing all out war against the people of ghouta russia and the syrian government are launching an offensive action examining this hundreds of missiles and mortars on civilian homes and hospitals hospitals are targets in syria and the regime has been bombing them ruthlessly among all things eased goatees one of the last jihadi bastions just like aleppo it's been a long time den of the nusra front and the likes here is the terrorists flag hanging off the wall during a meeting you need to go to a few years ago and since then new strain and salaries have only been getting cozy of their militias and he's due to have a record of forcing civilians to sit tight amid the fighting and the worse it is for them the better the evidence indicates that non-state groups in eastern guta and particular gys islam are also responsible for inflating the price of food and

other basic necessities they're arbitrarily restricting the movement of civilians wishing to leave and abducting and arbitrarily detaining people. human shields is a tactic favored by all terrorists including those who were in aleppo hardly a surprise that minutes after russia and syria opened humanitarian corridors out of those paths to safety came under rebel shelling humanitarian corridors for the passage of civilians are still blocked by terrorists and being shelled militants continue to use mortars and rocket systems against residential neighborhoods including areas with humanitarian corridors in the western parts of aleppo. and just like an easter lopo there are no western reporters in rebel held go to after all with those groups you never know what you're going to get a story or a price on your head instead reporters shoes are filled by young prodigies that.

this what happens to the shame that our country seat of damascus and. for serving is girl by the thought of this regime. the white helmets and who marketing itself as a civil defense initiative their volunteers work bomb fight as diligently ensues as they have at the scene of the hardest executives. from. wherever jihadi factions first they bring their white helmets in tow is like aleppo is no exception whether it's good. or any other hotbed of violence it's almost never just black or white but sticking a good versus bad label is so much easier especially when you have some stored away

from the last time you've done of. the british foreign office invited the russian ambassador to the u.k. alexander to discuss the humanitarian situation in eastern guta he told us that finding a solution to the crisis is a joint responsibility. now did nations is waiting to send the human uteri to. but how to get it there because for example the route of mines you can to go there the terrorists holding the life of the people there not letting them out so we discuss what the british you know what the british could do in a practical terms and what kind of signals they would send to be whether it's a neutral position or whatever to the people in order to see why we need the british on board but we don't accept the statements like the russians guilty for

the humanitarian situation we're on the scene both we're trying to do our best in order to relieve syria from the terrorists well there's been plenty of support for the syrian citizens living in eastern guta social media with journalists and commentators sharing photos from the conflict zone however not all of them appear to actually show the real picture as now reports to heartbreaking photos posted with the words this is syria except it's not actually syria one is from mosul in iraq and the other is from the israeli bombing of gaza now it's been raised in the comments that it's not actually syria but regardless this post by some guy in cleveland has tens of thousands of reach tweets we decided to find out how many people here in new york would be ready to reach wieder share this with. i don't typically use twitter but. maybe you know it just seems explained very

politically motivated without have any having any serious message behind it i definitely wouldn't i mean. just because there are horrors happening everywhere and i don't know if twitter is the proper forum for it anyway yes i would and why i'm half palestinian and this is the same thing that's going on in my country interestingly and this is mosul in iraq. and that is gaza. so it's not actually syria you know but it's. the same type of things are going on in syria it's kind of just and for me it might not be you know to a t. informative but it's getting the message across that even if these pictures are someplace else it's ok do you think that you by that i mean to some extent yes if you think that it actually it's like taking an initiative then i feel like the pictures don't really matter i think the real issue is scary and sad enough that we don't need to you know misinformed people to have real journalism to have real information and verify you know contact with this be fake news be fake i mean part

of why i don't use twitter is because of the information fabrication exists and also has it about facebook this exact reason you can't trust anything anymore and it's a sad state of the world now the saddest part is that some commenters say they don't actually care what they say people are dying in syria aren't they facts don't matter that's how things are in the post truth world caleb mop and artsy new york. the german chancellor angela merkel has acknowledged of the problem of so-called no go zones in the country for the first time during her tenure in office put her out of it takes up the story. we've seen an unexpected change of time for months when it comes to talk of no go areas in germany and a no go there should not be any no go zones there can be no places where nobody dares to go beyond the zones exist and they should be named and something must be

done about it. previously used the same injury free no go area to describe parts of the country with a high crime rate but not rate is be going up the government's own figures released earlier this year point to a ten percent rise in violent crime between twenty fifteen twenty and. sixty ninety percent of which is attributed to young male russian genes there was criticism of the last year of the way the german media covered the refugee crisis a highly respected group of researches said this it is acted as public educators and that the whole refugee crisis the arrival of hundreds of thousands of people was covered in too favorable light.

the only people who had been talking about no go areas were alternative for germany and they were bound mocked for doing so are common enough that's all guns are lying or can you as a woman walk alone on vaal show streets on a weekend evening would you dare want polls show or nearby streets and then they say and make it look like more you the aggressive ones they say bad things about the city no what we do is look at things in perspective what we do is simply address facts and facts only ladies and gentlemen. that is the thing in order to secure a ruling coalition angela merkel has been trying to win over the right wing of her concerted alliance should try to secure that fourth term chancellor she may well be

thinking that taking a step towards the social policy of alternative to germany could help get those hardliners back onside with peter all of her party. according to local media it's the big cities in germany that are the worst hit with criminals taking over entire neighborhoods it's not entirely uncommon for police to come under physical assault in such areas which are reportedly run by ethnic criminal gangs political scientist vern a putz says some neighborhoods are no longer recognizable. it's not no longer the case that every person can move freely around just as he or in particular she wants because we hear of neighborhoods insidious which look not like being in germany but like in a different country if you look at some cities like the northern part of or of door to more like parts of deuce book like parts of the lean then for some neighborhoods

it's really a problem and this truth is not right they'll come but to be frank on this point we're third same problem arising out of truck criminality but immigration is a part of the whole problematic to nominate. a number of districts of brussels have called on the belgian government to reconsider plans to grant the police greater powers to target migrants or the new bill that would make it easier to conduct raids on homes thought to house migrants who have already been ordered to leave the country however not all approve of this method artes. to one local who experienced her home being raided. when the new tourist jungle camping cali was torn apart thousands of migrants get it many came here to process it was meant to be a pit stop instead for many it's become permanent as belgians have opened their

arms and their homes to migrants though for some that's brought its own perils five o'clock in the morning i heard the door. was kind of a shocker with sleeping in so i woke up with a book and i mean flow in my body and i came down or say yes who is it it is ok but i had no idea whether i really i didn't know throughout the governor or friendly and i saw a third a man and one woman coming in the door pushing me aside going to her but asking me are you along yes i am a lot it was a case where three they went into the lobby when the the other side wanted to see if nobody was i would really have the impression i was a terrorist that something brutal happened sixteen year old mohammed migrant from sudan is the reason the police came around six months ago he was sleeping rough at brussels maximillian park if police going to my somalia you only come to catch

people they sleep they are. five o'clock that morning everybody sleep they all you will see police for want of you if you. did it for the take you would deliver. just wait there wait there used to be a deck you. because they want they want you feel very bad and they don't want anybody marketing media and so when i came i saw him such as there he was really really you know he's sixteen and he was there at least already for two weeks knows where to sleep along this path with some friends and nothing so i say ok i'm home in august last year i spent the night at maximally in park it was clear it had become a transit point that thousands had already passed through fearing that

a new callee could emerge the government began a program of raids and arrests well for now mohammed has a roof over his head it looks like the government is making a new play in a bid to evict migrants like him it's due to vote on plans to allow police to search private homes suspected of sheltering unauthorized migrants that's provoked outrage was done yet some are worried that while many migrants are in need of aid others have more sinister looted. some terrorists have used fake i.d.'s some terrorists have posed as michael and seeking asylum what concerns do you have about letting people into your home of course the risk of zero there's nothing exists so i cannot tell you that i will be one hundred

percent sure that they are not the hardest of course but the process of maker and that that taoist is so little. for a nuke hosting mohammed has so far been a routing experience for mohammed it's changed his life how different is your life now compared to what it was just a few months ago city a hundred sixty degrees plus the service and like that. everything change now i have family really family and really for me for me she do everything for me i have for i want to score. and how fit and despite his good fortune mohammed says his family back in so you don't always in his heart . so now while you are well bella they have a lot while their family and i will have a hundred luck

a little more along. the globe value not the one shot law along with and she will have. charlotte even ski party brussels. this is our to the international year when so stories continue in just a moment. join me every thursday on the alex i'm i'm sure i'll be speaking to you after the world

of politics sports business i'm sure business i'll see you then. the period of fake. engineer. in the control that they think that they. start to see this being picked up in markets like the gold market and others you know you've got to start to see it feed on itself in. yemen has become the world's worst man made humanitarian crisis that's according to the u.n. special envoy for yemen more than twenty two million people are in dire need of humanitarian aid and more than eight million continue to face food shortages according to the u.n. and much of the country's key infrastructure has also been destroyed and on top of

that the country's cultural heritage is also being lost. that the human the whole of yemen and especially its historic cities for example pseudo sauna are in the world heritage list they suffered severe damage during this aggression.

and they get these most is a historic muslim sino just with the deliberate all of human this was told that it was a real error rates and severely damaged. it's already soldiers have arrested ten people in a raid on a palestinian village among them was a teenage boy mohammad who is still recovering from a severe head injury sustained at a west bank protest two months ago and the raid was caught on video by a member of his family now the raid took place early on monday morning in the palestinian village of not be salai mohammad and his older brother were arrested

for taking part in anti israel demonstrations back in december. at the time mohammed was hospitalized with a rubber bullet injury allegedly inflicted by israeli soldiers he then underwent surgery during which part of his skull was removed and he is currently waiting for another operation after his release he told us his story and warning you may find some of the images up setting. and then when i was injured i climbed the wall thinking they were gone and as soon as i looked over i was shot right here. and then i passed out and i don't know what happened. plus. the key they arrested me for throwing stones and they hit me while they were interrogating me when i went to the interrogation place i heard people shouting and getting beaten and there were little kids there the officer started shouting at them to confess and also shouting at me. when they arrested me at my home at three

am they put handcuffs on me and my brother then they took us to their camp when we arrived we found the other four guys and then they took us to the interrogation. they started asking me why my face is like this and saying you look funny and said many things about me i told them i fell off my bicycle. what happened is that the israeli army arrested him at two am and at that and the way they arrested him was harsh he was a child who suffered an injury from the israeli soldiers and it was difficult for his parents because he was injured and being arrested was aggravating to his health condition his health condition remained the same but he was psychologically affected for child being arrested at two am and being kept in detention until two pm the next day without any food or sleep was difficult for him. this is not the first time i have a family has been in the spotlight is said to a head right there she's an activist who's in detention awaiting trial for slapping

an israeli soldier a video of that went viral with some regarding her as a symbol of palestinian resistance. a state of the art technology is helping doctors at the top of research center in moscow to treat some of the deadliest forms of cancer reducing recovery time to a fraction of what would be required in the case of conventional surgery. think. the full pancreatic humans' meant we had to cut out the pancreas and other parts of the stomach itself and then we connect the organs now we cut tiny five millimeter
