sides both mosco and on corral have totally different and opposite understanding when it comes to sochi deal because a step is going to tell more about that for sure if. russia wants it to be revived every story until it was told at the bus sign in 2080 and russia accuses turkey for it following the orders of america and right now to explain that it is very difficult to soft spain a peace process inside the with the russians we are expecting a cease fire but none permanent or temporary is ceasefire will not mean a lot for the turkish officials ok cinema will bring us the very latest there from the job because of crossing thank you very much indeed let's finance that fastened she's in most school for a start proof we've heard support turkey is hoping to get out of these talks what about vladimir putin and what our goal is he going to be coming from in these discussions with a president her one. well as see them as sad something will have to come out of this meeting because this meeting has been prepared by a delegations go in back and forth between ankara and moscow for a couple of weeks

and i think that it's highly unlikely that burdwan will suddenly decide to to follow the terms of sochi these fighters in are absolutely critical to let alone for him to project his power into syria which has been a long time called. when a solution for syria is worked on in moscow pep talk is the opposite border it's a different story turkish authorities came a man has died after greek forces opened fire at my quince trying to cross into the e.u. allegations greece environment me denies and recent days turkey has opened its border to allow through tens of thousands of refugees most of whom are thought to be syria . again. europe could be looking at another my current crisis now that turkey has reopened dates buddhas with greece tens of thousands once more trying to cross into the even 5 years on from the peak of the 1st michel crisis this time there is less of a welcome video has emerged showing the greek coast guard firing on my current boats. here on with the land border there are accusations of brute force all denied by the greek authorities even germany is warning migrants not to c

that then put in i reached an agreement we signed the sochi memorandum. agreeing upon. this situation in a we agreed to alleviate tensions and we. agreed. that there will be no attacks launched in that region. starting. was may. more and more attacks started to appear and that was the reason why we believe the agreement was violated that was a violation. the responsibility lies with the regime's forces they violated the agreement 4000000 people live in that region and these 4000000 people are not terrorists but they are bar none the less we don't think this is acceptable . people refuse g.'s they are fleeing their homes because of these attacks according to the to the data from the un around 1500000 people are now right on the border with turkey. syria government wants to. wipe out the people in that region and drive refuse to territory. and we will not stand idly by. there is a lot of tension we installed our observation posts in the province of these. past we were there to control and monitor all the ceasefire. some time ago russia. and turkey. agreed. to send reinfor

turkish and russian leaders and despite the commitments that they both sides will comply with us and sochi the casualties continue for both sides both the syrian government side and turkey and the syrian rebels and civilians of course today turkish president is expected to bring a suit things on the table when discussing with his russian counterpart one of them is secured so on around 30 kilometers deep inside there where the civilians. can be in a safe a safe and sound and it can be it should be a no fly zone so that there will be no air strikes by the syrian government forces order or the russians plus of course to provide this there should be a permanent cease fire whether it's going to come out from this meeting it is still unknown it seems the russians are more willing for a temporary ceasefire but if for the turks a temporary ceasefire means just president bashar assad forces to gain back their energy and come back to the field but one thing is important to present i don't know. that turkey will not what's wrong with the world from its military force that were established by a so che

will present to put an end mosco has other conditions which are basically turkey insists that the sochi agreement as signed a few years ago shall continue as the way it is which means that the syrian government forces shall with roll back to its prior positions by the borders of the the escalation zone which is down below the vital and 4 and 5 highways and of course the russians are insisting that the sochi agreement is signed between turkey iran russia and syria shall be revised because they see protests change and the conditions on the ground have changed as well so we are waiting for james jeffrey and the delegation with him including kalak craft to arrive here in the couple of hours ok synonym. for so on the turkey syria border thank you. knights of the u.s. send the race to become the democratic party's presidential candidates with separate cheese staple would sing starts in just a few hours time 2 candidates drops out of the race have no interest joe biden senator amy called wish are and former mayor people to judge joins a rally for the former vice president their endorsement is

initially perceptive but in sochi to accept this and that with courage they're not. going to be able to give you stephen morse code. the which is over with cannot tell it's not assume by the move forward but. one does go by so many arabs who. wanted. to shock after all. encouraged it was. enough. to launch a new car war ship. but left at. that altitude is that. unfortunate incident. not just this crap. has indeed been securitisation temperature which can cool on instantly and since. very strange news. here. though she knew this case eventually. 1st thing you need this is the absolute last doctor in iraq. on your staff sort of setting it up both and they do a groom the college the. last weapon and the pretty much what did the one more hour that the new. there would dr i'm not borderline get sick done of him the chance that that was throwing jeeves and wooster would not be good because things to be some reason for example really believe you should. eat yet. we didn't you are not absolutely buried in your article is that this is where it is usually does it not municipal

at the sochi agreement the amenities that as a. result of all that but if we virtual it's why we still here i think because the 2 leaders are any bills so far because they are thinking of these agreements are something temporary rather than having like a final fine and settlement to this this conflict because find that settlement of this conflict acquires a lot of 2nd voices by the both sides and none of them actually is willing to do with that but my hunch is they will reach an agreement to deal because both actually they don't want to risk a confrontation direct confrontation between russia and turkey don't you have absolutely no interest in having such a confrontation as you pointed out. russia and syria's goal here is to bring everything back around syrian control i mean that's completely understandable we are at a point in syria's war where the rest of the country is basically under serious control as well so what's turkey's goal here why are they hanging on so strongly because i think they believe if the if they lose that wou

language] translator: we have been warning of a humanitarian crisis which since 2015,in idlib before the sochi agreement. and we know russia never abides by any cease fire that they sign in syria. this cease fire will end the same way every other cease fire has ended in syria, cease-fires are simply a tool used by the russians on the regime in order to reorganize the situation on the ground, change the deployment of forces, and to be able to, at a later date, resume the unimpeded bombardment of civilians. >> [speaking foreign language] translator: turkey took a bold step in intervening to stop the assault on civilians in idlib, but it is unable to enforce the civilian protection mechanism on its own. that is the words of the turkish government. that is not my analysis. turkey has asked the international community, the united states and nato, for more support to support its efforts in northwest syria, and it is something we have been asking for for many years, for a no-fly zone, and for civilian protection. [speaking foreign language] translator: in just 60 days, one million people were forced

increasingly can you direct confrontation mosco has accused of failing to abide by the astronaut and sochi agreements but by not separation makes trimix functions from the more moderate groups political analyst yousif erin believes the joint patrols can help solve the problem. all we have to realize right now is the area is home to 3 almost 4000000 people and there's about 10012000 i believe fighters that russia and the assad regime label as are designated as terrorists turkey of course designates the. group as terrorists as well now when you have 10000 fighters entrenched in an area of 3 to 4000000 people it's very very hard to extract these people without dealing damage we've seen what the americans have done in iraq oh when they tried to extract about 5010000 fighters out of that area the area was leveled massive 1000000 casualties and turkey is trying to be much more careful in removing these terrorists from this area as it's creating friction between assad and the rebel groups and the opposition joint patrols like the one turkey and russia are doing together to create this buffer zone

alleged state sponsored doping scheme they were stripped of their silver medals that they won of the sochi olympics 3 years earlier the biathletes appeal began on monday and the court of arbitration for sports in response to the claims of their lawyers the court ordered the international olympic committee to explain whose signatures are actually on the documents the court of arbitration for sport panel of arbitrators has accepted the statement about food signatures in i.o.c. documents and has ordered the international olympic committee to provide an explanation within $24.00 was the i.o.c. hasn't commented publicly on the allegation that the key signatures were forged the athletes are seeking monetary compensation for the damage to their careers their lawyer says a decision is expected in the next few weeks and that he is optimistic that they will win the case. i want to point out that the question of religion go signatures is not our only argument we always expected that our would be absolved of guilt by cia as on the basis of our the evidence that we have collected however the question r

fight and turkey and russia says that this such a great event should be in place russia believes that sochi agreement was signed in that light guys in that time of. and it has to be updated but turkey say's to such a great event shall be evoked as it was at the beginning which means receiving government forces were crawling back to $4.00 and $5.00 highways almes this happens turkey seems to be in continue to attack the syrian government forces which they have been heavily attacking since february 27th and on that day as you would remember. syria the syrian air forces that tack on the turkish soldiers cost the $33.00 soldiers lives for turkey then turkey launched this operation which the army called this spring shield operation that aims to protect the civilians inside there and so far there is no change on the ground still there is tensions there are still there are clashes after this incident by so rocket we are expecting the opposition also to make a move but of course what is binding will be the told to be an add on and put in tomorrow which is going to bring a stop or halt or maybe a mu

i think that it's higher we are likely that berta one will suddenly decide to follow the terms of sochi these fighters in influence are absolutely critical to a lot for him to protect his power into syria. which has been a long time called. stopping the spread of coronavirus and the anxiety that goes with it is proving tough for nations worldwide in the u.s. where the number of deaths has reached 11 it is claimed the expensive private health care system is making matters worse. a global threat that is putting whole societies to the test moments like this can bring out the best or worst in governments individuals and systems the corona virus has been spreading through the united states causing widespread panic and a panhandler makes homes and incompetence killed the truth is we have no real idea how many americans are infected and emerging infectious disease that is now reached outbreak proportions and likely pandemic proportions we know that there are 88 cases in the united states there are going to be hundreds by middle a week is going to be thousands by next week donald trump says tha

new zealand prime minister jacinda ardern in sochi realised how extraordinary this is and at an unprecedentedsion to travel restrictions put in place this week. earlier in the week, all travellers were required to quarantine for 1h days. that has significantly reduced the number of visitors here, about a third as what we see normally at this time of year. australians were told not to travel abroad to any country and for those overseas to come back as soon as possible, and are now in a few hours all travellers will be banned from coming into australia apart from citizens and permanent residents and their families. this, the prime minister says, is to limit the number of people coming in from overseas. he says 80% of the cases in australia, and we have now more than 700 confirmed cases, have either been from people who have contracted the virus overseas oi’ have contracted the virus overseas or who have been in contact with someone who is contracted the virus overseas, so contracted the virus overseas, so this blanket travel ban will be in place for the months to come. we don't know for how lon

who won silver in sochi olympics in 2014 in a marathon and also won a silver in a sprint in their case of you know these allegations prove to be true well they could be reinstated their medals could be given back to them and for them it would be a personal moral victory because they have all retired at this point from professional sport like to remind to our viewers that they were disqualified by the international and become a $12017.00 on the allegations of doping which were part of the famous or rather infamous mcclaren report you know accusing russia of a state run program and things like that so they 'd were part of the whole story back then in 2017 they filed an appeal against the decision rather 2018 very early and for 2 years it's been going on particular because the court of arbitration for sport were engaged in many other cases and now the court of arbitration for sport finally got down to. reviewing the case and the lawyer of these 3 biathletes dropped an absolute bombshell suggesting that the evidence the testimony of. the whistleblower from the russian doping anti-doping la

positions of turkey and russia are quite far apart russia still accuses turkey of not complying to the sochi 2018 agreement which meant that they had to demilitarize this armed militants in that area but also turkey is accusing russia of backing syria who has attacked turkish post in that area which were the result of the starchy agreement so both positions are very far apart but what we are expecting and many people are hoping for is at least some kind of cease fire which could bring some release to the very dire humanitarian situation which is happening there right now on the ground thanks for that steadfast and there live from moscow let's get the turkish perspective now how about it joins us live from the time. tell us what is anxious position going into these talks what concessions will i'm going to be willing to make if any. will turkey kim would like to see a ceasefire implemented soon followed by the implementation of this over buffer zone to protect the borders of the turkish border along with the save zone that would pave the way for civilians to return home no it remains to be see

i've already mentioned in the program glenn he's been given that repeatedly you know meetings in in sochi and whatnot he won't take the offer and i mean is it because he doesn't know how to resolve this jihad disinfestation in that he's part and parcel all about or he can't get them to libya fast enough i mean what ends as what explains this because either he doubles down or he leaves any good politician of a major country never denies himself or herself options. he's denying themselves options go ahead and i think that's. the difficult position which is created for himself. but i do initially have some sympathy for the difficult position they are in though because they have more than 3 and a half 1000000 refugees now they're becoming more and more unpopular in the country and with a bad economy it destabilizes further so he needs in the country will take more but that of course suggests he should have taken this offer which was russia has given him and given him before now also can sympathize it's difficult to disarm the jihad is because its main influence in the it is that it's a protec

he cannot hold on to al-qaeda as hands for any longer the game is over and he had from 2018 in the sochi agreement to separate the moderates from the extremists he has not done that yet so he's failed to live up to his part it really is time to back down and back away from this terrible experiment still so many deaths there's still so much of a humanitarian problem there especially on the other side of people trying to get into the e.u. on the other side it's a whole nother ball going to talk about in a minute on the program but if you look at it politically tonight who's blink 1st. well i think i think turkey has blinked i think turkey had to blink i think that president putin understands that relations with turkey are extremely important for russia the business ties the cooperation is extremely important in russia is not about to give it up but everyone had to back down and he has backed down he threatened he would start attacking on march 1st and he hasn't had a full on attack so he has had to back down a little bit what remains to be seen is what happens to him at home after this fie

to the sochi agreement there is nothing much about the humanitarian about bettering the humanitarian conditions but however from the e.u. a top diplomats we have been hearing that cease fire was a precondition to increase in humanitarian efforts for the civilians inside and today they unicef executive director mrs 4 was here she came with a delegation she went to the buffer zone as the u.s. and more to syria james jeffrey did and she had to and she had somebody from the turkish and local officials here but as i said no one knows how long it's going to last then it is difficult for turkey to control because some of the rebel groups who are more eager compared to moderates once and for the syrian government size it is difficult for them to continue to have control over the iran backed shia if i true groups that's why there is not much hope whether the on the cease fire lasting for a long. still to come on al-jazeera we're bring you the latest on an attack in. your home any unrest could affect the taliban deal. welcome back let's look at weather conditions across asia and in northeaster

committee whether it be in geneva or whether it be through peace talks going forward in a sauna or sochi. there is going to be continued turkish presence there to guarantee some type of makeshift peace to keep these civilians put not continue their march north their exit is north into turkey into the waters of the towards europe so these are situations that are unacceptable right now by many other countries as well so this peace process is very important to keep going and working forward right yousif aaron political analyst thank you for your time. down to the u.s. election on tuesday south postponing that presidential primaries as a health concern and georgia and louisiana will now have to wait another 2 months to go to the polls sunday night we'll go see the 1st one on one debate for the 2 men vying for the democratic party's nomination because $1000.00 pandemic means it'll be a pretty small gathering to do that will be no live audience watching joe biden and bunny song to slug it out one of the moderators has also dropped out of the health concerns on the events being relocated noneth

government forces have to withdraw back down below and 4 and 5 highways which which were designed by sochi and as stana agreements but of course this conflict is something that's neither sides are able to get over because they are totally on the opposite pages when it comes to the ground today and and yesterday syrian president bashar assad accused turkey for the russian side sorich you sir q 4 of course following the american orders while the attitude towards the russians is kind of changing in ancora among the listen makers in the field think that it's a corporation and collaboration with the russians while the diplomatic table dictates a corporation and collaborations with the americans and when it comes to syria now turkey affects a permanent cease fire and a safe zone with no fly zone but what. will be 2 conditions. come up with a result after today's meeting if there's no answer because the russians seem not seen in the willing for a permanent ceasefire but a temporary one which is not welcomed by the turks because a temporary ceasefire is assumed to be only helping the syrian govern

have been fortunate to represent medalist, to your point, the medals, short track speedskating in s sochiht their back story on the masses people cheered for rocky not because he was the champion because he was the underdog. he got knocked down over and over, and got back up, so many ways that is what american fabric identifies with. this is another feather in the cap. but we're working an active conversations with those sponsors to run through 2021 and find creative ways to get at whreets oulylathletes out. connell: all right, we have to wrap it up doug. this is highway athletes make their money, but not this summer in tokyo. all right we wrap it up, another day, up 2000, we have seen down 2000, up 2000, so there you go. melissa: right, up,2112. david: i am david asman in for lou dobbs, lou remains in self quarantine, she i he is in good health, and joining us later. wire waiting a briefing from white house coronavirus task force, we'll take that live as it starts. president trumpside instilling hope for the american economy saying that america as a nation was not build for a shut down.

from those areas russia interfered stepped in at a deal had been put in struck a deal in sochi on the 20 the 2nd of october that paved the way to this whole notion of a buffer zone 30 kilometer deep with both countries but during those areas it was absolutely seen as a momentous. historic moment for both turkey and russia know this trying to do exactly the same thing in live however it remains to be seen whether russia is winning this particular moment to give further concessions to president. because since the start of the latest military campaign called spring shilled russia has been very equivocal of the operation saying that the turkish military has been further stoking violence and instability and it lip thank that has come about i will check back in with you when we hear more out of those talks between potion and . thank you lodges there has spoken to the president of the international federation of red cross and red crescent societies he's visiting the border between greece and turkey and he's condemned all sides for using refugees as political weapons i had the opportunity to

turkey hopes to rip decay the same deal it struck with russia on october 20 the seconds in sochi after the start of the operation peace training in and they would like to do the same thing when it comes down to it live province they would like to ensure there is a buffer zone to protect the border with turkey they would like to ensure there is a safe zone so that civilians who have been stranded who have been displaced or have been pushed out of their areas to go back and be relocated or resettled in those places and it wants some guarantees from the rushers that the syrian government won't launch any offensive to retake it live and it will stay basically behind the demilitarized zone but the but the turkish government doesn't this stand at the same time that it will be extremely difficult of this particular moment to get more concessions from the russians and i think they will try to come to a certain agreement or to some common ground about how to move forward and as we are speaking you come out of the hundreds of thousands of people stranded on the border and those who live it live

protocols that was it to the sochi agreement there is nothing much about the humanitarian about bettering the humanitarian conditions but however from the e.u. top diplomats we have been hearing that ceasefire was a precondition to increase the humanitarian efforts for the civilians inside and today they unicef executive director mrs 4 was here she came with a delegation she went to the buffer zone as the u.s. and boy to syria james jeffrey did and she had the and she had somebody from the turkish and local officials here but as i said no one knows how long it's going to last then it is difficult for turkey to control as some of the rebel groups who are more eager compared to moderates once and for the syrian government size it is difficult for them to continue to have control over the iran backed shia a fighter groups that's why there is not much hope whether that this cease fire lasting for a long. so don't call so early on that turkey syria border thank you c.n.n. the other story involving turkey is how it has deployed a 1000 police officers to its border with greece to try to halt the
