U. This comes after turkey deployed special forces to block the return of any migrants who illegally entered the u. Greek police have been forcing such migrants back into turkey after they break through the countrys border defenses. Faces of despair thousands of refugees have gathered on the border the focus on the turkish town of a day. Many are forced to camp out in the open some of these people have been displaced by the long running conflict in syria it is in europe you can work there are jobs you could a decent salary the kids can go to school you can lead a normal human life thats all i want. Or that i made it to the great side then i took my phone my money took my clothes off i beat me and sent me back to turkey this is just wrong and money. We want to be able to breathe freely when i was 12 years old i had to leave school my parents were killed in the war. Others have come from afghanistan and pakistan they find shelter where they can dozens crammed into this abandoned bus station turkeys president has carried out his threat to open the border to europe if nato did not back his military operation in northern syria. The red crescent and red cross are helping out where they can on the ground handing out food and water and providing basic shelter. Is needed to restore. This moment if you can before you get there in the middle of the game here and you can do whatever is necessary to provide dignity for the bills that the state is in. Ankara for its part is determined that those who do make it across to greece will not be sent back into turkish territory. 40000. 00 special forces officers are being deployed to the river on the border fully equipped to prevent people being pushed back. Greece is equally determined to prevent a flood of new arrivals the Authorities Say some 35000 migrants have tried to cross illegally into greek territory in the past week athens insists those who reach its soil will be deported lets get the very latest now in your hands he joins us now from the turkish side of the border today here yulia can you fill us in whats the situation at the border where you are this morning. Well the situation here appears to remain that tends now as journalists we are not allowed to get anywhere near the border or this main Border Crossing here between turkey and greece anymore police was stopping us right here about 2 kilometers away but a little earlier we managed to get a little closer with our car because we were get before we were again stopped by the here and we managed to talk to some migrants and refugees who told us that tear gas fired again we could also smell the tear gas and its right now not entirely clear if this was just being fired from the greek side towards the there are also reports that tear gas have been fired from the turkish side its not entirely clear what role Turkish Military there is playing there are some reports saying that or suggesting that of the soldiers are kind of encouraging the refugees or migrants maybe to use violence in order to demand passage to euro the people we talked to also told us they have some access to food and brings. The temperatures here are particularly difficult they have to sleep on you know plastic covers during the nice and they also told us there are still thousands waiting there waiting to cross into the European Union but as i said its very difficult to get an independent understanding of the situation from what we understand it remains tense ok its terms and also weve been reporting this morning on the groups of refugees whove been moved around the border area is there any idea as to why these groups of refugees have been moved. And where theyve gone to. Well i can tell you about i can tell you about one group weve been filming with last evening they hide to kind of build up a makeshift camp in the town off. A very near to where we are right now about 200 people many families with small children people from syria afghanistan pakistan these people told us we are determined to stay we will wait for greece to open the borders and when we arrive at the same location you today again it was suddenly empty all the people had been moved somewhere else thats our understanding because i talked to one Police Officer who told me yes we took the people in buses to this area to this main Border Crossing so it appears to fortys are somehow the scylla taking peoples move and directing whats going on here at the border and just a few moments ago you know we look at what looked like a black down bus moving just behind their border where theres a lot of activity behind you this morning. Thanks so much for being with us for now. Well the e. U. Is concerned that the fighting in syria will create new flows of refugees heading for europe and you Foreign Ministers are meeting in the croatian capital zagreb today to discuss those developments you Foreign Affairs chief yes a borrower is backing a dutch plan for a buffer zone to stop attacks on civilians in rebel held province but he says the block has no power to enforce the measure the German Foreign minister who is also supporting security guarantees for civilians in the region greeces warning minister is expected to press his counterparts for their help in coping with the latest arrival of migrants at the greek border. Our you correspondent Garrick Mathis is following that meeting of Foreign Ministers for us good morning to you georg whats the e. U. Prepared to do to help greece cope with another potential migrant crisis unfolding at this hour on its border apart from Financial Aid to help with the refugees that are already in the country brian there is now order also a force of 100 border officers from from texas the e. U. s Border Agency on their way to greece supposed to arrive next week in order to guard the potentially difficult parts of greece borders. Turkey with boats but all the ocean with personnel on the Ground Support for greece but what is really essential here is the message from Foreign Ministers in zagreb that they do support that target that greece really fends off Illegal Migrants from crossing that it is a strong hold on the xstrata borders of the e. U. And or if youre going to take a look right now at a root cause of this crisis the deteriorating situation in syria fighting in illinois province has created something for 6 hours talks continued then aired on in putin stepped out in front of the cameras to announce a security corridor or joint patrols and above all a cease fire. Is sought soup would assume salute tonight at 12 am that is midnight between the 5th and 6th of march the cease fire will take effect and all steps will be taken to abide by it. If in the but should the talks begin at midday there was little left of the friendly reporter that was apparent only days before air no one and putin looked tense the situation is complicated. Russia and turkey are at loggerheads in the syrian province of it live. Their syrian leader assads troops are fighting rebels with support from russia the rebels are supported by turkish troops but air go on and putin say they are committed to deescalation. What im saying what youre going up to we hope this agreement will lay a foundation for the suspension of fighting in libya. We hope to end the suffering of civilians there and to avoid a greater humanitarian crisis then you know when. It was the outcome of hours long difficult negotiations now the ceasefire will face its big test if and how long it can hold. And organise looks like a key ceasefire how important to Foreign Ministers meeting there in zagreb think this ceasefire isnt helping reduce the flow of migrants heading towards the external border. All Foreign Ministers i heard here on the 2nd day of their meeting welcomed the idea and made however clear that its of course necessary that this is a sustainable cease fire and they have to look at the details how it actually works out throughout the course of of the week and to what extent it will then deliver easing off of the humanitarian suffering you see in syria and that is why theres also Financial Aid extra 170000000 and now on the table to aids people in syria 60000000 directly in the region of egypt and the Dutch Foreign minister arrived here this morning saying that the nose of the the buffer zone is a good idea he likes the ceasefire but it will also take a no fly zone and now a number of Foreign Ministers like that idea too but of course it is something that have to be has to be channels via the United Nations you need a resolution for that and for that you need russia on board as though its a complicated scenario where the e. U. Really has no other say but put some moral pressure on the table or so my dears i like that no fly zone turkey has already been very specific it says it wants the e. U. To offer it more Political Support more Financial Support is it likely to get those things. A German Foreign minister i call mahseer and as ruled out that there will be any direct payment to turkey its a bit unclear whether a turkish aid organizations within the deal that the e. U. Has made in order to help turkey deal with some 4000000 refugees that are in the country so billions have been flowing from brussels to turkey whether more money will come that way but what is clear is that all Foreign Ministers made clear there will be no blackmail there will be no using off refugees as bargaining chips in order to force europe to spend more money some very clear signals from zagreb garrett thanks so much for that.

Its to russia now words thought that as many as 12000. 00 women die each and every year at the hands of their partners abuse is often a taboo subject in the country and that makes living with the physical scars of Domestic Violence especially difficult w. Has this look at what some women are doing to cope. This is no ordinary tattoo session its called a rebirth. Thats what genia so hard calls her project she tattoos over women scars left by the abuse and Domestic Violence their men have inflicted on them its a huge problem in russia. Ford said physical scars last forever the women are afraid someone will see them this isnt so much about covering the scars its about helping women leaves no more lives again. Flowers and butterflies instead of stab wounds and slashes victoria has been here many times she was one of the 1st women to me as a hard help in her rebirth project she shows us her 1st scar what can still be seen of it. But it is with my husband and his friend directly into the woods they were both drunk they stopped me in the throat and on the mound. There are no reliable statistics on the number of women who are beaten abused or killed by their partners in russia. Human rights activists estimate that one in every 3 russian women experiences violence at least once in her marriage. Many stay silent afraid their partners will take revenge and because they think the state wont help them a woman from the outskirts of the Central Asian city of says abuse survivors arent taken seriously when they go to the police she wants to remain anonymous. My husband was a drug addict when he was high he would attack me with a knife hed beat me and rip out my hair while this is one of the wounds from his knowledge if. Theres any as the hard doesnt believe its only the abusers who should be held to account she also feels Russian Society and the state are to blame. For the whenever the women come to me they tell me the same story that pottery strong woman or on drugs many of the pot as a jobless and they drink because they have nothing else to do Domestic Violence is getting was because no one cares about people here. Many sink into a deep hole they think they can get out of without alcohol. When the rebirth tattoo project 1st started a new for 4 years ago few people knew what went on behind closed doors or how many women needed help. When 30 women from across the region turned up the 1st week. Zinnias so hard recognized her calling to help them work through their trauma instead of repressing it. Trunk but of course coming to tell the stories for the 1st time in my pond the memories stay in their hearts beat you content to a hot whats the saying out of sight out of mind now at least they dont have to look at their scars every day i hope they wont dwell on them either. For some har the pain these women feel while getting tattooed is all part of the support she hopes its the last pain theyll ever feel in their lives.
