A port says the trip the government suspend its involvement. Is set pieces that. The 4th scared a doctor talks of deplorable conditions on board a quarantine cruise ship in japan as hundreds of passengers are finally allowed off. And they say theyre on a mission from god spots theyre peddling drugs we investigate the evangelical traffickers of rio de janeiro. But we begin with syria and the crisis is being discussed at the highest levels the u. N. Envoy to syria has addressed the Security Council he says theres an imminent danger of escalation between turkish and Syrian Government forces in the russia and syria are defending the offensive and that turkeys u. N. Envoy is speaking at the Security Council lets listen in order 9000000 syrians in turkey and syria let me underline that this is more than the book blue shield the socalled. And here if we are again listening to the previous speakers delusional appreciations i will appear here again that i will not honor him with responses since i do not consider him as my legitimate counterpart his regime has blood of innocent people on its hands and lost its legitimacy long time ago his mere presence in the council is an assault to the millions of syrians who suffered countless crimes at the hands of decision mr president this tragedy will not and before the people of syria have illegitimate government that will come to power through elections to be held in accordance with 2254 and that truly represents their will and enjoys their full consent until then turkey will continue to stand by the democratic aspirations of the Syrian People and safeguard the protection of civilians in the clip and be on every passing day he put one notable Syrian People into the mercy of this murderous regime now is the time to act the International Community has the responsibility to protect thank you for. Because not all. Your leaders have declared for a statement. Represent. The book for the food didnt give you the flu or really most of the gun. Going on ok well just be listening in to the u. N. Security council they have been discussing the crisis in libya province we heard from the representative from turkey a brief remarks there but he did say underlined that the Syrian Regime has blood on its hands he objected to the presence of syrian representatives in the chamber and he said that every day that passes puts innocent civilians at risk and he urged the International Community to act lets get a sense of whats been happening at the Security Council for mike hanna he is live for us at the United Nations. Might have been hearing lots of different interventions there started with a very powerful take from gare petersen the u. N. Envoy for syria and in the time thats followed so no a lot of back and forth from the competing interest on the council just sum up for us the highlighted points of that session at the Security Council. Ill get pieces in the special envoy was briefing the council on Political Developments within syria and particularly in Northern Syria where this crisis is unfolding he spoke of how both turkish and Syrian Government forces are increasingly coming into contact the Syrian Forces backed by the russians he stated explicitly this in turn has led to a series of advancing front lines that are compounding the the fate of some 1900000 displaced people who are being squeezed into a smaller ever diminishing space by these advancing front lines as this conflict continues so what you have here is a political cause that is the ongoing conflict between turkey and the Syrian Government backed by Russian Forces along with a humanitarian consequence that is absolutely disastrous and we heard from the humanitarian chief exactly how bad it is making very clear that civilians in this ongoing conflict situation their plight is getting worse and worse and worse this is what he had to say people are fleeing under horrendous conditions many are on for it are on the backs of trucks in below freezing temperatures in the rain and in the snow theyre moving into increasingly crowded areas they think will be safe. But in italy nowhere is safe almost 50000 sheltering under trees or in other open spaces im getting daily reports of babies and other Young Children dying in the cold. Imagine the grief of a parent who escaped a war zone with their child only to watch that child freeze to death well all in the council purportedly agree that there is no military solution to this conflict that there has to be a political one but the parties are so far apart in terms of reaching any form of political solution and that you see on display within the Security Council once again deep division among members both the United Kingdom the United States and germany pointing fingers at russia accusing it of being responsible for this crisis because of its ongoing backing of the Syrian Government russia in turn responding and really its a scene that is played out in the Security Council month after month year after year while hundreds of thousands of syrian civilians continue to suffer ok mike hanna that live for us at the United Nations for now i thank you so just as that session continues here at the United Nations we are seeing the turkish ambassador responding to the points there but it has been quite quite quite a startling session weve heard that from the weve heard from various parties at lets just check back in with the discussion and see what else is being said. Oh it doesnt appear there is much more to listen to but just to give you the top once again as mike was saying. The Security Council the various parties do seem quite far apart but guerre petersen had been given his updates and saying that some 900000 civilians have been displaced since the 1st of december and the humanitarian tragedy in syria continues another thing mike had mentioned the u. N. Envoy is warning of imminent danger of escalation specifically in the province of turkish president Richard Sayah parents of one says that he is ready to launch a military offensive against Syrian Government forces has more on the situation on the ground. Turkish troops in have been asked to expand their military outposts their presence here is the result of an agreement between Turkey Russia and iran 2 years ago to establish safe zones but these turkish soldiers might soon get involved in the biggest military campaign of their deployment president up by you has warned the military operation is imminent. On the subject of id lip turkey has made all preparations to carry out its own operational plans as with every military operation on the subject ill say we could enter it lip suddenly one night. Undeterred by the turkish warning the syrian army stepping up its offensive government warplanes struck the town of to many in. The attacks have intensified over the last few days earlier this week president Bashar Al Assad said in a rare that his troops wont hold their campaign until it live forced into their hands talks between russia and turkey to defuse tension have stools each side is accusing the other of failing to implement the terms of the escalation in sure the guerrillas the key agreement on it was to separate the Syrian Armed Opposition who cooperates with turkey from the terrorists a terrorist according to the agreements regarding adlib was not be involved in a cease fire regime russia considers hay at the head of an alliance of rebel groups in it live a terrorist organization and therefore excluded from the ceasefire agreement of 2018 turkey seems to want the Syrian Government troops to go back to the areas behind the Demilitarized Zone but for president said such zones are no longer relevant since his army has advanced further into it and taken over more territory if theres no agreement by the end of this month.
