Kind of a warm welcome to the touchy about turkey has intensified its offensive dubbed olive branch against Kurdish Militia in Northern Syria a mother to a group with said that these fifty four people have been killed so far on both sides the turkish army and syrian rebel fighters crossed into the kurdish enclave of offering in Northern Syria on saturday and often is controlled by the kurdish white b. G. Militia which has been a key ally of the u. S. In its fight against Islamic State the turkey sees the y. P. G. As a terrorist organization and this is the u. S. To stop backing them. Operation all of the branches anything but a peace offering the following airstrikes the Turkish Military with the support of regional allies is marching across the border into Northern Syria turkeys president has pledged an unrelenting campaign against the Syrian Kurdish y p g a militia which he considers a terrorist group. Will handle a free and theres no stepping back we have an agreement with our russian friends kind of also discuss that with the u. S. And other coalition forces. I mean its the attacks russia has pulled back its Ground Troops from the region to avoid accidental clashes experts say turkey is looking to russia for further support. This is inevitably going to mean more close cooperation with russia for turkey and. This is probably russians threatening to pull turkey. If the western alliance three think is it click the us position meanwhile remains ambiguous having backed the Kurdish Militia during the war against socalled Islamic State washington is now refraining from direct criticism while urging turkey to quote exercise restraint in its military actions the u. S. Is also that it takes turkeys legitimate security concerns seriously. The call on target to show restraint was echoed by the u. N. Security council on monday but operation all of branch continues to intensify creating yet another front in the seven year syrian civil war. The reports are coming in the general detained in turkey for this social media posts relating to the often offensive a correspondent during jones in istanbul told us what he knew about the crackdown. What we understand is in the last twenty four hours also five journalists have been detained in the Early Morning raid by the police in. India because the main kurdish city in turkey turkey what we understand is that these people belong to mainly prone kurdish media and also media critical of the government now this comes on top of the arrests of around thirty people on monday for social media posts opposing the operation because im very concerned about what is going on on social media and twitter picket particularly if they are aware that critics and potential opponents of the operation most of the news from on from the social media given the fact that the perception among many in turkey is that the Mainstream Media is broadly under the control of the presidency and the government and to underline those concerns Prime Minister been a real drum on sunday met with leading journalists of of the country mainstream journalists where it is reported he issued a fifteen point plan on how to cover the are for an operation the message ankara wants is that they want to control this message they want to prevent any possibility of dissent or protest as this operation continues to drag on and on top of that also weve heard reports of dozens of other people in istanbul and ankara have also been arrested in Early Morning raids this morning many of them are believed to be opponents of the afrin operation many linked to the programming procurator party h. T. T. P. Chorus line during jones reporting from istanbul and whitley in the studio is from the Kurdish Center for Womens Affairs welcome to you maybe i like you have contacts to people in the office in the holiday experiencing the turkish offensive i mean these people are living kind of work conditions for us so its nothing new and this topic course on the agenda for a couple of years also so it was not such something sudden that people were prepared but the people what i can say that are. Very few. People are leaving leaving the city they are staying there theyre assisting in shelters underground shelters or in their houses because they are saying that they wont. Live in a city controlled either by the turkish army or by Islamist Forces and the kurdish militant groups have supported the United States in the fight against socalled Islamic State do they feel in some sense abandoned by the washington by washington in this conflict now i mean if youre say a man and there should be Something Like a strategic relationship and the Kurdish Forces always sat there its a kind of tactical relationship for them and that for them their own strength is important so ok sure on one side because you are cooperating against a common enemy and suddenly youre in a situation where the who western states are in a way supporting the turkish offensive against the kurds but according to the statements we can say that they are ready they say we want to ask for any support we believe in our own strength and we we will defend our city until the end of the turkish government of course argues that the y. P. G. In Northern Syria is linked to the p. K. K. Which is considered a terrorist organization the good issue organization in turkey what do you make of those claims i mean sure they all saw sect or stated that they have ideological ties but at least i mean. He is not k. K. K. The Democratic Administration of come to an africa is not completely pick a case so i mean if although there are some political or ideological ties you can say its completely the same now you are in touch with the Kurdish Community in exile living here in germany what do they feel about this offensive and what kind of action are they planning i mean they started just on saturday the day the offensive started with their protest actions and in more or less all european cities where Kurdish People are organized and. Just in the kurdish or and europe but also in other parts of kurdistan and countries they are mobilizing daily they are preparing for a central demonstration already on saturday in cologne but all the people i mean there are a furious they want to have to organize and mobilize all the more critic forces to stop the turkish offensive right middle to turn the Kurdish Center for Womens Affairs thank you very much for sharing your thoughts with us on d w p q. In fact in germany clashes broke out in Hanover Airport overnight during a demonstration against a military operation in syria protesters chanting Security Officials rushed in and brought the situation under control. Heavier than usual snow falls in the alps have cut off towns in Higher Elevations and increase the threat posed by avalanches thousands of a Winter Holiday makers are trapped in some of the mountain ranges most popular ski resorts are report starts in the lot near the swiss border with italy. No escaping the power of nature in these swiss alps avalanches have been falling down these mountains all around the ski resort of so that its the second time in a month heavy snow has cut off the town leaving fountains stranded this. Is not the only swiss resort where locals and tourists alike are trapped getting in and out of suntan tourney adap aussies almost impossible. More than thirty five years lives in. But i never saw so much snow like today the last the past week the police tell us that forbidden to leave the house you have to stay inside right and no root and you have we have new circulation in you where we have no gas we have no possibilities to go was the train. Traffic is closed. In the italian alps the road to chevy nia has been closed for the third time in a month its estimated that five thousand people are stuck in the ski resorts. The risk of avalanche has also affected roads around salzburg in western austria. And snow is also a big issue at the World Economic forum in davos for many its all hands on deck to ensure the meeting runs as smoothly as possible. God is with me now and as we have lots of snow in davos but the opening got went by smoothly with not in the body the stock traction there he was a bit of stars and this it got there in time with through all this snow to deliver the keynote speech at the opening meeting he tried to drum up investment in one of the worlds Fastest Growing economies quite a usually modi use a distinctive tone in his speech stressing stressing indias rich cultural and spiritual history as unique selling point for his country. This is the first time after twenty years that indias Prime Minister is attending the World Economic forum in the swiss alps and he has brought a large delegation it includes six ministers and one hundred business representatives they are all here to show that india is open for business if you want wellness along with wealth then you must come to india if your seeking wholeness in life along with help then you must come to india south are seeking peace along with push very see then beyond there is you must come to india. Out of them are going to our prosperity gets our beasts out there. Last year indias economy grew six point seven percent failing to meet Market Expectations but im melissa expect modis Economic Reforms to drive growth. Thirty hours ago first it is necessary that the big powers of the world have cooperative relations among them it is necessary that the sense of competitiveness among the major nations of the world does not become a wall between them we will have to set aside differences to face these challenges and Work Together for a larger vision. An open Global Economy that is what indian Prime Minister morty is calling for for many here this is an alternative to the America First strategy of u. S. President trump is expected later this week. Well our correspondent christopher koba is in davos of forest first of how was modis speech received that. Well the globalization or rather the attack on globalization as Narendra Modi put it Climate Change and to terrorism are of course concerns that are shared by many here in davos so his remarks fell on a fruitful ground for that matter especially when it comes to globalization and these somewhat turn around and it and the attack on it as modi named the tendencies you has been watching in the last couple of months have been an issue here in davos we remember a ping the chinese president who gave the opening speech here last year had already set up his country as the champion of globalization and free trade so this topic remains one of the most important ones among the people here in davos and for that matter are under modi has hit right on the spot here. First of modi also has stressed the spiritual side in indias call shirts a bit of a different tone compared to what we used to get from that has that struck a chord with the assembled business leaders. Well i did cause it was reason for a lot of smiles and who could argue with the mahatma right i mean you cant really argue with that with gandhi for that matter so it was cause for for chuckle and good humor here among the among the crowd in davos but we have to remember its not all just spiritual but what Narendra Modi mentioned here he was keen to stress that. India is cutting red tape is not only cutting red tape but also as he put it putting out the red carpet for more investors to come into the country that all of that on the back of the of the fact that india despite having delivered steady and strong growth still needs to grow stronger in order to accommodate the many many especially young people that live in the country that are looking for a job so Narendra Modi was keen to stress india is open to business here in davos and its participants christopher going to be reporting from davos for the whole week what can we look forward to briefly if you can. Whats going to be sort of the so it looks like weve lost the connection. But its going to go back to that tomorrow and we stay on the subject two hundred and seventeen years that is the time it will take for women to reach true equality in all walks of life across the globe thats according to projections done by the World Economic forum thats three generations and much longer than women around the world are willing to wait equality and womens rights issues feature high on the agenda there in davos to highlight the urgency to tackle the issue this years meeting is chad exclusively by women. This video also installation in davos seeks to be punk myths myths about why women dont have the same professional success as men why theyre less likely to london Managerial Position one of the common narratives that is there today is that women lack confidence women lack ambition and so the workplace is fine but the women need fixing and thats fundamentally false we believe thats a myth we believe that women dont need fixing the system needs fixing but if things continue on the same trajectory it will be a long time before we achieve equality between men and women two hundred seventeen years according to calculations by the World Economic forum thats why this year seven influential women will chair the meeting in davos in zero men they each come with their own agenda but to share dream for the future my hope is that we can collectively demonstrate as already begun actually that even without testosterone we can actually produce positive Constructive Energy to deliver solutions thats my goal. Mens dominance has been a repeated source of tension in davos this year only twenty one percent of the participants are women it is a record but the organization promises this is only the start of things to come. Of this since now i think no one would argue that these are not the seven most influential people amongst those stakeholder groups at the same time we recognise that its a very powerful message and were very conscious of that its an Important Message that the new face of leadership is increasingly female. Women and our false hope this is the dawn of a new era. We have the evidence based case so World Leaders from the World Economic forum to the world bank have the evidence to show that womens participation drives economies we have more women in positions of leadership than ever in history and we have technology thats. Connecting us in ways like never before womens voices are being heard and we have the chance to reinvent the future and include women the World Economic forum has pledged to become more female whether or not that pledge bezout only time will tell. And we have the latest now on. All this talk thats right get out and the woman is that the heart of those still in jail many divisions between the countries potential governing partners are showing even as they prepare to launch formal Coalition Talks on the americas conservative blog because the social democrats to finish the talks quickly and deliver the country and new government but the left of center s. P. D. Is vod to negotiate hard to push its agenda. Snow falling outside conservative headquarters last night the kind of inclement weather that matches germanys political mood at the moment with the country waiting for government to be given the green light leaders have been hammering out a negotiation schedule behind closed doors. During sundays Party Conference the social democrats instructed their leaders to extract further concessions. Have been about a team and even we will talk again about all the issues we raised during the exploratory talks its quite clear that in the end the full Coalition Negotiations will always involve compromises that both sides will have to make senior conservatives however are signaling theres little room to maneuver especially on the s. P. D. Is demands for liberal immigration policies. This is its important for us conservatives to hold our line on migration but there cannot be more migration we need less we need stricter regulations especially in terms of family reunifications we cannot start that debate again. One of the rising stars in the s. P. D. Parliamentary leader has promised to squeeze the conservatives until in her words they squeal. Analysts believe the s. P. D. Will be a prickly partner. Opposition within the party against the coalition so in that way the social democrats will be kind of complicated within this polish government they will be not easy partner for the christian democrats to now political winter still has germany in its grip with weeks of negotiation ahead before a coalition is finally formed. This is a short while ago i spoke in detail the simon young whos at the Cd Headquarters i asked him what their focus would be in the next phase of negotiations. Can serve his need to decide if theyre willing to make any real concessions to the social democrats their potential partners in this new grand coalition who of course are very divided over the question of whether to join her in government or some within the s. P. D. Are fundamentally opposed to the idea of another grand coalition but some are just saying you know they want real concrete improvements to be written into the Coalition Agreement on things like Labor Protections on health care and on the asylum rules in particular and if they dont see that they say they wont vote in favor of it when they get the chance to do that in a few weeks time so all of Angela Merkels skills of moderation and persuasion and leading discussion are going to be called upon here over the next few weeks and someone not just the s. P. D. Theyre also divisions within the conservative a bloc how much pressure when the split on the Coalition Talks. Because there is a lot of pressure because this is about the direction that germany will take over the next four years at a crucial time for europe but within the conservative side there are many divided opinions its not just the varian conservatives who are the awkward squad many within medicals christian democrats themselves saying they dont really see the way forward here some are even saying that they think a new Coalition Government wouldnt be stable its not the right way to go they think america should lead a minority government in state so you know theres still a lot of persuasion to be done in the coming days and weeks right simon Young Political correspondent thank you very much for that assessment.

Not speed one hundred days since the beginning of the me two movement an outcry against how this meant by men in power in this short period the movement has spread around the world bringing down powerful men accused of sexually abusive behavior its impact is still being faced and here to discuss that is for you for social media this was completed first took us to how this came about so of course it began when the New York Times published a series of Sexual Harassment allegations against hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein but the hashtag really took off after american Actress Alyssa Milano tweeted this sentence it was on october fifteenth last year she wrote if youve been sexually harassed or assaulted write me to as a reply to this tweet if all women who have been sexually harassed or assaulted wrote me to as a status we might give people a sense of the magnitude of the problem and within twenty four hours me to be became a viral hash tag many women across the world are sharing their personal experiences of Sexual Violence and reportedly there were actually more than twelve million facebook posts containing that hashtag me to within just a day after dot tweet so thats become huge has become a global phenomenon then absolutely amrita and we can actually take a look at the reach that the hashtag has had after he took off on october fifteenth this is what were looking at is the call the trends map and it shows all the activity. On twitter related to me too thats exactly between october fifteenth and seventeenth and you can really see how fast it spread it was really an explosion of momentum and not just in english but also in other languages and in france for example with the hashtag balanced and reveal your pig in italy where im from with the hashtag that k. Which means the time when all of these were local incarnations of me too and weve also seen the hashtag ignite the conversation in less expectable countries like china or pakistan and what impact has this conversation head well i think its fair to say that this hash tag in the history of has is the one that has had the most the biggest impact on our society and he went far beyond its any show scope of exposing sexual the prevalence of sexual abuse and in our society it has taken down some of the most powerful and prominent men in cinema media politics is Harvey Weinstein hollywood producer of course the oscar winning Actor Kevin Spacey also the famous news anchor matt lauer and here in europe its taken down a lawmakers effect as the British Defense minister secretary Michael Fallon so that on the one hand and its also been influencing policy making and to give you an example in sweden the government is now considering a law that would. Make it require will make it a requirement for people to sign a consent like an explicit consent before sex and people are also talking about whats appropriate and whats not and in some countries women have said that this was this has sparked the first conversation they ever had about sexual abuse ever physical with the some people if you dont going to believe that the movement is changing things for the better you know thats true it has also come the movement has also come under fire and just recently the prominent. Actress kathleen the nerve she was one of the of the people whove said that this Movement Movement has gone too far and she cosigned elector with another hundred french women in that letter theyve been saying that me to is basically a witch hunt against men and that actually men should feel free to make advances advances towards women to bother women in a way but she had the nerve had to apologize after that because she her comments just a wave of furious criticism so obviously the debate is not over and a lot of people feel like we have to keep talking about this thats right for the cabal you from a social media desk thank you very much for talking to us about it. And were coming our top top story the World Economic forum in davos it isnt just about putting high finance business deals into the pipeline officials also invite social entrepreneurs from around the world here is that they address the most pressing social environmental undergone mental challenges of our day w. s mother costa claridge met up with some of them. The trip from japan to the slopes of davos took in eighteen hours this is social entrepreneur maseko guru his first time at the World Economic forum the subjects hes come to talk about are far removed from the usual interests of big business. There are children who dont get to eat. Once a day of poor soup morning she having tons of food sawing away. Eating and so this is the big gap between the parts of war and another part of the door. And thats the reality happening right now this is one of the uncomfortable realities that he and a dozen other social entrepreneurs are here to discuss theyre not working to create profit but to bring about social change here from vietnam trying to develop Cost Effective devices which save the lives of children. I see my son myself see the baby dying every day and i thought i want to something such a gather would a group of friends so we. Weve. Invented the. Medical equipment the social entrepreneurs hope to open the eyes of the big players in the Business World to humanitarian ideas such as making life saving medicine affordable and many big leaders are disconnected from everyday the everyday struggles that people face and i think we create an awareness for it i think we were good at integrating. The cause and capitalism and we were sort of at the juxtaposition of that and we we can show them models that can truly work and be sustainable that perhaps said may have even considered all seen about. And theyve made the long journey to the snowy streets of davos to make sure their voices are heard. We are not perfect but we try to seek justice and try to bring balance to the world that we live in through our business skills and experience. Gurrey well spend the next four days at the World Economic forum but he feels the long trip was worth it just for the opportunity to push his vision to those who have the means to make it a reality. But our correspondent christopher cobar is in davos for us for him quest of social entrepreneur very much in focus this year tell us more. Indeed garrett its the social entrepreneurs and the Economic Development of the world in general we just heard earlier in the show the indian Prime Minister saying indias g. D. P. Now adays is six times higher than it was twenty years ago the first time an indian Prime Minister attended the World Economic forum and i want to dig into that into this development with. She is a social social entrepreneur from india your organization your n. G. O. S which i will talk about in just a second but it has been around for about twenty years almost twenty years nineteen. Taking note on what the india Prime Minister says how do you see india as development in that times. You know ill speak from the perspective of what weve been doing for the past one thousand years and that is primarily focusing on what is being discarded you know a bit and the discount really comes from people consuming more people having you know much better incomes so all of that is part of the story as well but on the other hand the story is also that there are theres a big population which is still struggling for the basic needs so what we term weve been trying to do in the last hit i can here is to sort of bridge this gap between the two ends and use the discount of the cities as a kind of a currency for the Development Work in will it india so in a way its sort of looking at what could be what is part of the problem to try and make it as a part of the solution so it is addressing inequality that comes with Economic Growth for that matter how precisely do you do that in a positive way in a way of trying to make a win win for people who are in the cities who are consuming because we do realize that there is a certain sense of wanting to achieve new things and prosperity is a good thing but the outcome the kind of fall out of that is that the consumption has led to more discard more waste more problems in the cities so we what exactly do you do with these things that they get discarded for example so we basically bring it into a huge Processing System where we take out what is absolutely useful and can be used by another person and take it to the villages of india clothes for example for to understand for example our any other thing which is in a usable condition anything that you can think of in a household which is in a usable condition to be taken that and taking into the Police Communities and saying we know that the other thing much will it is that the deliver the dignity not just in india im sure across the world in many communities in rural areas theyre very sensitive about their dignity and so we try to get to them saying can you work on some of the your own issues we dont resources and use this as a reward and actually go out of the transition trying to make an impact in india thank you so much man actually and its back to you in berlin and thank you. In davos for us. Special report from russia now with thats right thank you very much and recent months the socalled Islamic State terrorist group has lost control of most of the day played once held in syria and in iraq as defeat looms foreign fighters returning to their home countries pose a growing threat hundreds of i is fighters came from the russian republic of chechnya now heres the first of episode in a series from our Moscow Bureau chief. Be lisi the capital of georgia one of russias neighbors to the self late last year an operative of the socalled Islamic State was killed here Russian Media celebrated a victory in the war on terror. The man who was tired of attention carrying a russian passport who had been hiding in georgia previously had allegedly been home and chechnya to recruit fighters. There are roughly eight hundred tensions fighting for isis their return to their homeland is a major problem for russia and russian president Vladimir Putin has already declared victory over the islamist extremists. But you can celebrate this victory for a while but you better pray five times that while youre celebrating another terrorist attack doesnt take place. That. Name is not only the Geographical Center but also the heart of chechnya. After a debilitating what in the ninetys it was rebuilt with money from moscow. Nowadays the city seems peaceful but appearances can be deceiving. Chechnya has become a hotspot of religious fanaticism since isis began searching for new recruits here. With wiki. Would you high unemployment social discontent and soured hopes drives many in the region towards one of the most perverse forms of islam and into the hands of the jihadists but the. Jihadists are sowing on Fertile Ground in chechnya despite a near total state surveillance and to despite. Demonstrations of allegiance towards putin and the kremlin rule in the last few years whole families left for iraq and syria. They will be coming back now with their victory of isis has been declared. Here in grozny see those who are trying to return from syria and iraq back to chechnya is a threat to state security there is support for the socalled Islamic State has become a matter of profound concern for chechen leader. Of course a key step in containing militants returning home would be to prevent young people from joining the terrorist organisation in the first place despite a series of military defeats this is still recruiting fight us primarily among young people so the government is focusing on prevention in this Vocational School in girls the mothers of as militants of the young people of the dangers of jihad to recruitment their children who were around to the same age as the students when they left for syria. I love my fellow chechens in the name of allah i am a patriot but i want to warn you about what happened to me my daughter and her husband left to join isis her husband is dead and there is no trace of my daughter. Her story its home. Its the first time were talking about it so openly here at school. I dont know probably because were all afraid to talk about it. What are you afraid of that will go to sleep one night and when we wake up our brothers will have left to join isis no one can see it coming. Obvious not to know anyone who is with them now. I was with them. Everyone says youll find paradise if you go but thats not true paradise can only be where your mother lives. Thousands of chechens had a different opinion of this old paradise in acts of terror. But as their path is leading them home for. Their families the husbands and sons. Put the government do if they are terrorists and to not hers. For some analysis on this story im joined now by palming felgenhauer hes a Russian Military analyst in moscow welcome to fill us for us why so many chechens end up joining the socalled Islamic State well its not only kitchens therell be people from the north caucasus from different other tribes too over course the church and are the biggest tribe in the north caucasus and theres quite quite a number of jihad is inclined people there or at least enough to send some go russia official said that up to maybe four thousand all in all from russia so some of them are church and about others for dagestani theres a lot from dagestan there is a sense the ninetys continues a kind of who will key jihad this movement in the north caucasus and russia and Intel Services were actually. Encouraging people to leave for the middle east believing that it was better for troublemakers to go to syria and iraq and maybe get killed in action than making trouble there in russia so you are now that the russian intelligence that they you are saying that the russian intelligence agencies played a role in militants leaving the caucasus to fight in syria and other trouble spots has that door changed do you think and why were they doing this in the first place.
