2:03 pm
and mr erdogan this evening but both leaders came out a journalist with the outcome of thursday's crucial talks on syria and the key point is that the 2 sides came to an agreement to deescalate the syrian turkish crisis in war torn even a province and to set this in concrete put in and out of a gun signed a document detailing a cease fire on the ground in that starts from midnight march 6th here's mr erdogan. is taught at midnight beginning on the 6th of march a ceasefire will be implemented we will take all necessary steps to ensure at last our goal is to do everything possible to prevent the humanitarian situation from deteriorating in the region. so the cease fire is certainly agcy point but there were some other steps agreed upon between russia and turkey the 2 sides decided to establish a so-called safe corridor 12 kilometer wide 6 kilometers north and 6 kilometers

2:05 pm
committed to help the syrian army clear this vost northern province in syria from teri's and hold the size seem to have this common goal and move together towards it until her around a month ago the turkish leader gave up this idea and he made a u. turn calling on russia to leave syria and to leave him face to face with the regime these are he's words the situation on the ground started boiling escalation violence it became clear is something needs to be done urgently a while ago the turkish president announced a special gather rain on syria in istanbul with not only between russia and turkey but also with france and germany that what. important convinced his turkish counterpart that they do not need mediators and this is why we saw mr air then coming here to moscow cranley and having a discussion with like me putting that ceasefire community. or i
2:06 pm
don't know mcadams thanks for from o'donnell curb spokes we earlier on for ron paul institute he told me it's in the interests of both moscow and on korea to ensure that the cease fire lasts. we should all breathe a sigh of relief because truly russia and turkey were on the brink of direct conflict it was careening out of control and i think it was very wise to have called this bilateral meeting to hammer it out because there are the danger of it into war and possibly including nato was very real the whole issue of the of the war torn in the province is not that different in the war torn aleppo province which amazingly settled down once it was liberated from the from the control of jihad ists of extremists of al qaida and that's the exact same thing in the province the important thing is that the m. 4 in an m 5 highways will be open up that's important to certainly to russia into
2:07 pm
syria but let's also remember the air to want is having some problems back home there's a huge brawl in the parliament just yesterday with 2 with the parties fighting each other the opposition parties are not thrilled that everyone has essentially embedded turkish military forces with al qaida to serve as human shields to prevent the syrians from retaking their own territory he's gone way out on a ledge and i think he's finding himself at the end of his political rope perhaps well that's the syria turkey border the sort of in the course of these other problems on the other side the e.u. turkey border the greece turkey border where an estimated 25000 asylum seekers gathered since friday attempting to try to get into greece and some safety as they see it to authorities have claimed one man died there on wednesday after greek police opened fire on a group of migrants and allegation athens denies reporting from the border charlotte do bensky. in the dead of night they've set up camp these migrants who
2:08 pm
say they are from syria have succeeded where so many haven't they've crossed the border from turkey into greece. or holland but even the most basic of comforts can come at a cost on the one hand lighting a fire means want for the children on the other it means being visible to the security forces and volunteers trying to protect greece's borders. greece says it stopped thousands from entering into its borders within the last week of those who have made it through many have been arrested and they have been taken to detention facilities like this one here behind me that surround 10 miles from the frontier now you can see children playing clothes hung out to dry so despite the barbed wire and the high fences with security posts life goes on greece has just announced that
2:09 pm
it will create another center in this area to deal with any new cross from turkey the plan is to deport them as soon as possible and while e.u. chiefs have come to greece's aid saying it is acting as europe shield others are more critical of the books position this is a moment to which people is questioning guy davidi existence and the very role of the of the european union not this is we don't have to feel to run after the storm much of the people we must help the people to understand how complex is the life oakum pixie's there is the is the war there and and and showed the ability to have the political force to fix that and not calling these people and these disparate people. on because calling a greaser shield that means that these people are our weapon for the president and he says the buddha should be opened there is no. act even in
2:10 pm
the in the policies of the european union that allow the members to suspend. did the right. to request. you know kountry i know that this is a very difficult situation but democracy and the rule of law must apply more than ever in this kind of situation and my opinion is that francesco talked about dignity. the conditions on the border a not dignified he said neither was the existence of many thousands of migrants who live on a day to day basis stuck in limbo in centers like we've seen he's calling on the e.u. to sort out its issues and to find a solution to the crisis so that countries like greece no longer left shouldering the burden of migration. you can ski r.t.
2:11 pm
for lucky near the greek turkish border on thursday turkey knows he's going to send a 1000 special police officers to the border to prevent the greek side from driving those desperate asylum seekers we spoke to some of those migrants about their hazardous perilous journey they are attempting to make to try to get to some for safety. i came from of ghana stunned i arrived at the border with groups but it's closed and one can't grow also that the group security forces are dispersing migrants with tear gas. i'm from iran and i want to go to europe as you know the economic situation in our country is very bad we tried to cross the border but security forces detained us took all our belongings and beingness. we left afghanistan and came to work in turkey we left everything behind when we had to queue is opening its border but is it turns out the border is closed no one is helping us. ok away from turkey troubles where we go next we're going to the u.s. secretary of state has basically condemned

2:15 pm
so as the war in afghanistan seems to be drawing down many are optimistic about the peace deal it appears that the united states is determined to make sure that members of it. armed forces are not held accountable for any crimes they may have committed in afghanistan while the united states made it maintained its presence there for 18 years. free speech advocates have noted kingdom of concern of the sit in 2 d. platform an oxford university professor who was shuttled to speak at a woman's festival feminist historian selena told told us it came after organizers were put under pressure she says by trans activists. some members of a group called feminists fight back and some transactor best had said that they would not appear at the conference if i was there so they asked me if i would like to disinvite myself and just not come and i said no i'm not willing to do that
