We are consolidating our defense lines setting up small flexible command centers most of the factions are coordinating their operations and our image to drag Government Forces into our own areas fighting has surged over the last few days president Bashar Al Assads forces have regained control of many areas in and live their advance infuriated turkey which accuses us of violating the terms of a cease fire agreement turkey signed with russia and iran 2 years ago unka has sent troops into it and expanded its military outposts despite that damascus insists its campaign wont stop turkeys growing involvement in the syrian conflict is welcomed by the rebels to see it as a local charity for cold telephones. We are still fighting to prevent assads army and the militias backing him from destroying our villages and evicting civilians the morale of our fight is high and we are all determined to defeat assad the rebels have been weakened by internal fighting and divisions the National Liberation front is one among many operating in rebel held territory but hey at the us. Is the most powerful its an alliance of many groups with a strong presence in it live the rebels have no hope of defeating assads troops who are making more gains and determined to take over the last area held by the opposition now their last chance is that turkey increases its military presence in syria stops the government offensive and imposes a ceasefire but such agreement will be decided by 3 key powers russia turkey and iran. The tie on turkeys border with syria as a 9th anniversary of the start of the revolution in libya that eventually toppled more market off the power vacuum that followed his death continues to fuel the Current Crisis but ends in the capital tripoli said they have nothing to celebrate after 10 months of constant attacks traffic met some forced from their homes and on shore they can ever come back half built a neglected for almost a decade these tiles are on feet for habitation more than a 100 families who have fled fighting on the outskirts of libyas capital shelter here and now this tiny room is where samir a heady and her 2 children have lived for the last 3 months theres no electricity or Running Water so mira says her son used to be top of his class at school but the school is closed because of the fighting.

A growing number of Asian Countries are feeling the economic pressures of the coronavirus epidemic china is rolling out tax incentives to encourage companies to reopen hong kong has pledged additional economic pressure measures that is in japan the economy is strong at its fastest pace in 5 years and there are fears of a recession after 2 straight quarters of the climb singapores Prime Minister has said a recession is also possible there analysts are predicting it could run its biggest deficit and more than a decade and in cambodia where the economy is strongly depended on beijing the government is warning of job losses wayne hay reports from phnom penh. The skyline in cambodias capital phnom penh has changed dramatically in recent years buildings went up rapidly as the money flowed in mainly from china cambodias largest investor but chinas economy is grinding to a halt making for Uncertain Times for many including the 200000 cambodians employed in the construction sector.

Singapores Prime Minister lee hsien loong says because china is a much bigger factor in the region than it used to be his countrys economy could dip into recession this year as visitor numbers drop by as much as 30 percent thailands economy was already stuttering and may also be nearing recession with growth heading for less than 2 percent and vietnams Manufacturing Sector depends on a well oiled supply chain from china in january exports fell more than 17 percent. But some experts believe the threat extends well beyond this region all countries in the world depends on what action especially in the United States in europe imported a lot from china and when china has a problem they will how inflation there the same thing so that is not for cambodia and for. Asia and but for the world the wealthy may be able to ride it out but it is perhaps tougher for those living on the edge of poverty who could easily slip backwards in the event of a regional or Global Economic shock in cambodia there are millions in that category and as corona virus spreads in china and beyond the economic contagion is also worsening when hey al jazeera phnom penh. And the Supreme Court has ruled that women in the military must be given the same Career Opportunities as men i mean female officers can apply for Permanent Commissions that open command roles but its not yet clear when they will be able to take part in active combat and or the Indian Government argued that many male soldiers would not accept female superiors judges that questioning the ability and achievements of women in the army was an insult and female officers are static about the Victorian Court as elizabeth reports from new delhi. Where at the Supreme Court when female officers are celebrating the judges decision the courts told the government that female officers should have whats called Permanent Commission that is they should be allowed to say for the same duration as they may encounter. In Defense Forces is finally come. Ecstatic about the decision its a wonderful decision its a decision thats come up and it tells everybody that. Everyone there. Are no different and the women are no different so its about equality for the Supreme Court also said that the government needs to change its mindset and thats because Permanent Commission was posited by the Delhi High Court in 2010 but challenge by the government which cited physiological features and societal norms as reasons why women couldnt have equality in the armed forces now the Supreme Court said that the governments grounds for denying Permanent Commission and for denying command positions disturbing and need to be changed they cannot be accepted female officers hope that this paves the way for them to come on positions in all branches of the indian army. A Taliban Attack on an afghan army post has killed 5 soldiers it happened in the northeast city of corn 3 soldiers were also injured in that attack Afghan DefenseOfficials Say they responded with air strikes on the taliban positions and they killed an undisclosed number of fighters.

Years ago the dreamed of a stable life where her family would have enough for their name instead she was displaced by darfur as were she and her children have left the displacement camps in western sudan and now live in a village in north darfur but she says she and her family are still suffering from the effects of the conflict going on in this place there are no schools for our kids to go to so none of them receive any kind of education there are no hospitals so we have to walk for miles or hitch a ride from cars passing by to take us to the nearest hospital even for water we have to walk out was because there is no pump in our village. The war in darfur started in 2003 when ethnic tribes in the region rebelled against the government it led to more than 300000 people being killed and over 3000000 displaced the war was labeled a demo side by the International Criminal court which issued 3 arrest warrants for the then president already.

If you can concentrate on sustainable ate across the whole package the basic things that people need you would actually give a whole community a life for now villages like continue to pay the price of the dark for people here see the hope the rebels and the new government reach a deal to end the conflict for good so that the countrys resources can be focused on building a Better Future for the people of the region aljazeera north therefore israels Prime Minister says an israeli plane has flown through sudans airspace Benjamin Netanyahu says the new route is the result of a breakthrough in relations after a surprise meeting in uganda earlier this month.

Thats been going on for years but even while on the campaign now president joe youve been so not oh said that he give the police even more of a free hand theyre all that well im going to give the police Carte Blanche to kill for what youre doing real that you made those governors been equally permissive they argue the start see its worked experts disagree thinking is doesnt reflect homicides when we look at the data and the evidence doesnt.
