A tense calm is being reported in the region where almost a 1000000 people have been displaced as a result of the fighting between government and rebel forces. Also on the show a plea from the w. H. O. As global coronavirus cases top 100000. This is not a dream. Do this is not the time to give up. This is not a time old for excuses. This is a time for pulling out all the stops. The head of the World Health Organization implores governments to ramp up their response to cohabit 19 researchers have been racing to develop a vaccine for the virus but it may take longer than hoped. Also one of the International Womens day showing skin but scars beneath the russian tattoo artist helping women she. Because the trauma and taboo still around the domestic abuse. Its a pleasure to have you along. Tensions between greece and turkey on their shared border are rising with thousands of people left stranded between the 2 countries while greek Border Guards continue using tear gas and other measures to force migrants and refugees back to turkey but on the other side of the border turkey is also the point here gas to stop them from returning their cry has begun sending in 1000. 00 extra special forces on friday president arrogance that they had opened the gates for refugees to go quote as far as they can. Well reporters are blocked from entering the no mans land between greece and turkey which is why we dont have images of conditions there in recent days but d. W. Has received this exclusive footage that you see right here filmed for us by the people in and around the zone between the 2 borders it shows some of the thousands of people stranded there they left turkey after encore opened its border a week ago to allow refugees to make their way to greece but the greek border is officially close to them. All right joining us now from istanbul is Andrew Gardner who heads turkeys strategy and research for Amnesty International and andrew just returned from the greek a turkey border and you were so good to have you with this weve just seen some exclusive footage filmed there by the people stuck in limbo basically the conditions must be pretty grim. I mean certainly the conditions on military hardware are was very grim i spoke to families many of them with Young Children who he spends day sign time doing so we just blind kids to 2 to shouts of them from very cold and rainy conditions problems with accessing clean toilets sanitation. Problems but getting adequate food and water so we it was really desperate conditions for refugees desperate conditions that youve illustrated illustrate and that makes the next question even more poignant because why are so many people going to the border because they have no chance of entering to enter here and. Many people i spoke to. Come to the board on 3 buses that were provided for them or was already given them everything they had gave up their houses sold definition came to the border ok on the understanding or even on the promise that the borders have been opened and they would simply through. Some. Often single man attempt to make a very you know dangerous and difficult passage across the border facing up to gas as you say. You know frequently beatings from the greek Border Guards who will so stole that money and other possessions before stripping them naked and sending them back to turkey and more completely lawless. In humanitarian. Actions which which are really deeply disturbing but also very frequently explained by by people who have my journey across the border and you how does amnesty see this situation being resolved hopefully in the coming days. Well so its a very desperate situation unfortunately you know countries of the year in union. Not living up to their responsibilities on refugees nothing new certainly if youre seeing it for at least the 9 years of this clarion conflict is being going on but also you know the latest episode where you know refugees coming to the polls on false promises that the boys would be open on the night would have been hostage to a better life is certainly no solution i mean is it clear that there needs to be you know and agreement not these sort of political guy. You know finally going to be you know a realistic agreement for European Countries and other western countries to see famo refugees and currently doing andrew garner ahead of turkeys strategy and research for Amnesty International thank you. And lets turn now to the tenuous cease fire in syria is it live province which went into effect about 20 hours ago human rights monitor there says 15 people have been killed in clashes between syria and syria as Government Forces and rebel fighters in southern in the ball elsewhere the truce appears to be holding well the cease fire is the result of talks between turkish president rich uptight adeline and russian president Vladimir Putin their meeting in moscow was aimed at this fusing the increasingly volatile situation in the region with hopes of avoiding a direct confrontation between turkey and russia on syrian soil. After 6 hours of talks and a one and putin stepped out in front of the cameras to announce a security corridor or joint patrols and the all important cease fire. The 2 leaders had looked tense is the negotiations began the complex and long running conflict in syria has put turkey and russia on opposing sides but now they say they are committed to deescalation. We hope this agreement will lay a foundation for the suspension the fighting in libya. We hope to end the suffering of civilians there and to avoid a greater humanitarian crisis. In. The Northern Syrian province of idlib is the last stronghold of antigovernment rebels. With deadly air strikes happening almost every day in recent months syrian troops have been fighting rebels with support from russia. But the rebels are backed by turkish soldiers the latest ceasefire deal establishes a security corridor on each side of it live strategic east west m 4 highway joint turkish and russian patrols will begin on march 15th. Speaking on Russian Television shortly after the deal was announced syrian president Bashar Al Assad played up his ties with moscow. By turkish aggression a common goal of russia remains to make turkey change its policy away from supporting terrorists and to bring our relations. With thousands displaced by the fighting the International Community led by the e. U. Is focusing on alleviating whats already a humanitarian catastrophe. An earlier cease fire deal for adlib quickly fell apart as turkey and russia accused each other of not sticking to the agreement the world is now waiting to see whether that pattern will repeat itself. And after numerous failed ceasefire attempts throughout the years of conflict syria civilians are viewing this latest attempt at a truce with agree deal of skepticism is more now on how this recent agreement is being received a semblance of normality has returned to it live for now but a military deescalation is not an ideological one a programmable sign with the turkish flag hangs in the city center. Many locals see the Turkish Military as the only power that can protect them from the syrian army theres deep distrust of Bashar Assads regime people in italy fear it will violate the cease fire. Was a moderate but im not at all optimistic about this agreement i dont expect anything from it these people wont respect it. Lay dont feel assured by this agreement. That doesnt inspire any hope. Besides peace hope is what they need most a political solution is not yet in sight. After thursdays cease fire agreement president assad made it clear who he thinks should take the 1st step but. The minute i would want to in the light of turkish aggression our goal together with russia is for turkey to change its policy and stop supporting terrorists so our relations can get back to normal. But normality is still a long way off for the millions displaced in Northern Syria at least they can receive aid more easily with a cease fire if it holds. Lets bring up to speed it was some of the other stories making news around the world. At least 27 people have been shot and Dozens Injured at a memorial gathering in the Afghan Capital kabul its the 1st major attack in the capital since last weekend when the u. S. And the taliban signed an agreement and toward ending the war in afghanistan while the Group Calling itself Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack. And bangladesh thousands of muslims have held a demonstration in the capital dhaka to denounce indias controversial citizenship walk that triggered deadly riots in delhi the protesters are calling on the Bangladeshi Government to cancel a plan to invite indian Prime Minister modi to a ceremony next month. Disgraced hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein has been taken to new yorks notorious Rikers Island jail is transferred to the notorious prison comes 10 days after he was found guilty of rape and Sexual Assault on the stories team complained of chest pains after the verdicts and was 1st taken to the hospital. To russia now where its thought that as many as 12000. 00 women die every year at the hands of their partners and in a country that has recently decriminalized some form of Domestic Violence abuse is often a to boot subject and that makes living with the physical scars especially difficult while the day we news has now this look at what some women are doing to cope. Here this is no ordinary tattoo session its a rebirth thats what janeane zahar calls her project she tattoos over women scars left by the abuse and Domestic Violence their partners have inflicted on them its a huge problem in russia. You know what should we would need the physical scars last forever the women are afraid someone will see them this isnt so much about covering the scars its about helping women lead normal lives again. Flowers and butterflies instead of stab wounds and slashes victoria has been here many times she was one of the 1st women jenny has a heart helped in her rebirth project she shows us her 1st scar can still be seen of it would kill and i see a lot of leaders who were left my husband and his friend direct me into the woods they were both drunk they stopped me in the throat and under my arm. 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 new foss as abuse survivors arent taken seriously when they go to the police she wants to remain anonymous. What you can 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 knife. Genya heart doesnt believe its only the abusers who should be held to account she also feels emotion society and the state are to blame. For the whenever the women come to me they tell me the same story their partner is drunk or on drugs many of their partners are jobless and they drink because they have nothing else to do. It is the Domestic Violence is getting worse because no one cares about people here. Many sink into a deep hole they think they cant get out of without alcohol and. When the rebirth tattoo project 1st started in a fall 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 jenny has a heart recognized her calling people on earth to help them work through their trauma instead of repressing it. In your trunk but who have come yet they come here to tell their stories for the last time the memories stay in their hearts you cant tattoo a heart whats the saying out of sight out of mind now at least they dont have to look at their scars every day are terrible i hope they wont dwell on them either. For the heart the pain these women feel while getting tattooed is all part of the support she hopes its the last pain theyll ever feel and their lives. Within number of corona virus infections on the rise some authorities across the world are taking no chances will accrue ship with 3500 people on board has been ordered to stay away from the Northern California coast until passengers have been tested for covert 19 well test kits meanwhile were lowered on to the grand princess by helicopter after a traveler from a previous voyage died of the virus although no cases have been confirmed on this cruise around 100 people have been identified for testing after suffering from flu like symptoms but National Responses to words emerging as a Global Pandemic vary wildly such as in europe. The lockdown in italy continues this school in rome is just one of tens of thousands from across the country forced to close its doors the government here taking drastic measures to contain the outbreak but if you go bad known as the go on that she was not an easy decision for the government we also waited for the opinion of the Scientific Committee man that is still going to be decided a given that the situation is changing so quickly so she suspend all academic activities beyond the red zone until the 15th of march so. Even the capitals Historic Sites are lucky to see visit is as a tally and stay home and tourists stay away. Anything to slow the spread of corona virus which has killed 148. 00 in italy alone. But how other states on the continent on dealing with the outbreak differs considerably germany has seen a launch rise in infections with hundreds of cases although a few places affected have been closed like this kindergarten near the dutch border the government is opposed to too many restrictive measures. Because the all of the symptoms weve seen so far are symptoms our Health System deals with every day and it begs the question which measures are appropriate and which are northeast and if. And given what we know about the virus that are disappointing i would feel that any measure restricting cross border travel is not a poor plea and fight in the stronger message European Health ministers launched crisis talks in brussels on friday they agree they have to slow the spread of coronavirus but how they go about doing that is still being worked on. I mean while the head of the World Health Organization is calling on governments to pull out all the stops to combat the corona Virus Outbreak while this after the global number of covert 19 cases soared past 100000 around the globe are scrambling to build a Robust Public Health response and researchers around the world have been racing to develop a vaccine but how close are they to success here is a look now at just how vaccines work. The most effective way to prevent specific infections is to harness the bodys own immune system that scenes like those used to prevent flu are made from either a weakened version of a virus or pieces of its genetic code the vaccination puts the immune system on the alert it makes antibodies that help it respond quickly to the target virus if exposure occurs under ordinary circumstances it can take up to 5 years to develop a safe and effective vaccine but in a race against the Novel Coronavirus some labs have already begun testing candidates in animal models sounds promising does that mean well be seeing one in the next few months thats been implied. Were talking about a vaccine and theyre moving along very quickly all of the pharmaceutical companies are moving along very quickly but in Vaccine Development experts say quickly is relative if everything moves as quickly as possible the soonest that it could possibly be. A half to 2 years that still might be very optimistic in the meantime could antiviral drugs and that treating those who are already infected helps the Development Curve for a new medicine is even steeper than for a vaccine that can easily take 10 years for a new pharmaceutical to gain Regulatory Approval and the industry claims it costs upwards of a 1000000000 euros around 9 out of 10 drug candidates never go into production they fail at some point during testing but theres also hope that some medicines that were originally developed to fight other diseases could be repurposed like a compound called rem does appear it was originally planned as a treatment for ebola and was tested when a major epidemic had west africa back in 2013 though it didnt prove very effective against that disease the company says it does affect corona viruses and hence could help covert 19 patients disease experts say repurposed drugs originally developed to fight malaria or hiv also show promise Clinical Trials with all these compounds are ongoing. And that was my colleague Eric Williams reporting and hes here with me in the studio from my g. W. Science department why is it taking so long to develop a vaccine well whats interesting actually is that we have a lot of fundamental knowledge about how to go about developing a vaccine from the experiences that weve had with coronaviruses before with stars in 2003 with mers in 2012 there were already programs in place theres been a lot of fundamental knowledge thats been gained about how to go about developing and but there are these bottlenecks in the process that its impossible to accelerate you cannot you just cant make them go any faster than 1st of all you have to test it in animals and its not easy to find the animals to test it and because not every animal is going to react to this corona virus in the way that we do so thats the 1st major hurdle that you have to get past then you have to test it for safety and thats a really really big step you dont want to make things worse by developing a product that is it could possibly cause major problems for people when you inject it into them so safety is very important you have to test that for months and months and months then you have to test it for whats called the thickest see if it has the means basically how effective it is actually is against the virus that there are all these things that you have to jump through and get Regulatory Approval for and in the end you still have to produce it and it takes a long time to sew actually 18 months to 24 months which is what most people are talking about is a very very ambitious goal very ambitious there are no short cuts is what im understanding from your yes and no short guys lets talk about this other medication that we just report that you just reported on how can medication it was developed to treat it will that be effective possibly. This is one of the this is one of the short cuts that they can possibly take this is this medication went into went into testing actually on the ground for ebola it didnt prove to be very effective against ebola but the its maker gillie had said that discovered retrospectively that it actually seems to have some activity when it comes to corona viruses and the reason that you want to take a substance like this is that its already jumped through many of those regulatory. Hoops and so you already know that its safe for example now you just have to check and see how effective it is against this new virus so everybody is hoping that theyll strike gold it looks like the way that it works is that effects the virus at a very fundamental basic sort of trait which is how it replicates itself and if its and those are traits that tend to stay the same across entire claves of viruses so if this is effective against or if it works against sars and works against mers the hope is that will it will also work against the Novel Coronavirus really really promising a medication that potentially but whats frightening people who i affected now would call that 90 what their fees are available for them where there are no approved medicines at this point this is what theyre trying very quickly to come up with but so if people most of the time as well the elderly who are getting who are getting the infections and and who are ending up being hospitalized theyd probably be treated to for the most part as though they were had the flu a very serious case of the flu and so theyre going to be getting fluid intake they going to be getting pain relievers that kind of thing but its also i think really important to emphasize once again you cant do it too often that really 4 out of 5 of these infections are mild or possibly even is symptomatic so only one in 5 people is actually going to end up possibly needing hospitalization dont forget that thank you for their writers it is scary time so we need that type of moderating voice and remind us of the facts thank you probably appreciate it. This is the every news these are top stories. Human rights monitors says more than a dozen people have been killed in clashes between syrian Government Forces and rebel fighters in southern and live well thats despite a tentative cease fire that went into effect at midnight following talks between turkey and russia. Theres been clashes at turkeys border with greece where thousands of migrants have been encouraged to enter the European Union tear gas has been deployed from both sides as Greek Security forces stand guard to prevent the migrants from crossing the border.

And the taliban signed an agreement aimed toward ending the war in afghanistan a Group Calling itself Islamic State says it carried out the attack. A cruise ship with 3500 people on board has been ordered to stay away from the Northern California coast until coronavirus tests have been carried out all around 100 people have been identified for testing after suffering from flu like symptoms a traveler from a previous cruise died of the fires.
