President donald trump has agreed to stop sending weapons to kurdish y p g fighters in Northern Syria the announcement follows a phone call between President Trump and turkish president rest of time on friday the white house early to say that it would make adjustments to its policy of arming its allies in syria the trouble ministration began supplying weapons to the white b. G. Earlier this year before the battle to retake im still strong hold of rocca turkey says the why p. G. Is a terrorist group. Lets get the very latest from across one of his all of binge of aid who joins us from. Near the turkish Syrian Border to tell us more about this this phone call between President Trump and one. Well what the Turkish Foreign minister said that it will be a stopping the bomb to i. P. G. And the white is not reflected in this statement from the white house where it talks about read guesting its policy do the words allies in the region that includes the way b. G. That includes the kurdish client is also the Umbrella Group is the effort its worth noting that the United States has been arming these prices since two thousand and fourteen and officially arming them directly in may when they started their battle towards rocket that is a city that was the de facto capital of iceland is now under these kurdish fighters control and turkey has long been seen that as an impediment to its better ties with the United States as this issue kept cropping up over and over again and the United States had insisted that it needed these fight is to try and defeat ice and now that they have it is now going to stop sending them youve also asked the Foreign Ministry questions about there was agreement or do it at least a discussion about taking back these weapons from these groups which to he calls terrorists but so far there has been no confirmation of that from either the turkish or the american side but this is also in the backdrop of strengthening relations between turkey and russia that you saw the turkish president in russia just a couple of days ago and in an address yesterday he said that in sochi before syria he seems hope and a future that is on the how does this withdrawal of ohms fit into the current context on the ground. This is part of the white a picture in syria where not just United States and turkey but other actors including iran and its neighboring hezbollah fighters from lebanon are at play also including iraqi militias which are also backed by iran so there is a lot of fighting that is going on the ground in syria despite the the escalation. All that has been wrecked by the russians inside syria the Syrian Government going after targets in the lead and in Hama Province where people have been telling us about the great difficulties that theyve been facing in the sixty is of the war and specially doctors every telling us that there is a systematic approach towards fighting and they are been targeting hospitals and all they can do to save lives is now dick tunnels under mountains. Summers on the operating table because his leg was injured in an airstrike but this is norton area operation theater its Hidden Underground so it can survive air raids here with hospitals im afraid when the regime targets a hospital i lost a member of my family in an airstrike. Its known as the cave hospital in Northern Syria doctors are keeping its location secret for fear of further attacks by government jets. They showed us photos after some of the hundred thirty five yr strikes targeted their Hospital Medical facilities and medical workers nowadays are far from being working in an ideal situation theyre suffering all sorts of challenges one of the main challenges has to do with witnessing not only has been ongoing for a long time but at the same time he doesnt. Doesnt stop. This is what remains of many hospitals above ground. It took months of digging five hundred square meters in the mountains to convert into frequent room workers then plaster the wall the bags at the entrance increased security. This is the doctor who began the project he was also killed in an airstrike last year and his colleagues continue to face challenges. The biggest problem is the airstrikes which target civilians this hospital is theoretically safe but we expect anything from the government and its destructive weapons making the hospital safe is just one of the many challenges most hospitals in opposition areas suffer from a lack of medicine and other vital supplies to emergency exits in case of any attack being underground brings the constant challenge of maintaining the floor so doctors and patients dont suffocate. We face difficulties such as ventilation and shortages of medical supplies after securing ourselves in a cave inside a mountain because Serious Health care system has been largely destroyed by six years of war Preventive Care units and Health Centers are non existent. Potentially fatal diseases are common because of a lack of vaccine. So make that gives you a glimpse of what is the situation inside syria dr singh they have had to employ a medieval technique to try and save themselves and their patients and we spoke to doctors about them not agreeing to give details and coordinates about there are no cations to the United States and russia because theyre afraid that they dont have the gallon can that if they provide these details to the warring sides that they will not be targeted as ahmed thanks very much indeed his own reporting there from thank you now then we want to highlight an important sixteen day campaign being launched by the United Nations is designed to bring awareness and hopefully of course an end to violence against women french president manuel macros says its one of his priorities but critics according on his government to do more to tackle Sexual Violence is in the french capital. With this demonstration in past eleven public and paris is an annual event but there is much more attention this time around because in recent months women have started to speak out after the Harvey Weinstein affair and similar scandals but also seven hundred thousand people have signed petitions in front calling on the government to take the problem of gender based violence much more seriously now on saturday president emanuel might call in a speech said that it was the number one priority of his term in office and he explained exactly why he felt so strongly about the issue listen to mom the feeling of horror and of shame resulting from the situation i must say has taken specific importance since a little more than a year ago because it is shame that we talk about when one is at the same time a man and a public decider i cannot consider that when were talking about today is something that is a boring banal and acceptable when the president did outline some of the practical measures he hopes will be introduced as early as next year one of the will be a new offense basically of street harassment something which is very common here and which people complain the police are not ready to deal with and he says that that could be punishable straight away with on the score points but many of the people on this demonstration have said theyre fairly skeptical about how much the government can actually get done. Each year for example we denounce Sexual Harassment abortion and sexism. Yes but i see. We not. Hes hes not obliged to acts were clearly here in front awareness of the problem is rising but people are now asking will the government put its money where its mouth is and really start tackling a problem that affects every part of society. Not in baba reporting that when i spoke with. Whos a uns at womens executive director and i started by asking how widespread the problem is. We are talking about one out of three women. Having experienced violence at some point in their lifetime. And we say this is underreporting in the fact that most of it happens at home. And that is where we cannot say we know what happens in every home if you children who are usually molested by family members. And able to speak for themselves so were talking about well over a million women who if you like say are walking wounded because of just living in silent. Just as you say but also in the workplace. And so in their workplace and in the conflict zone Cyber Bullying trafficking Child Marriage honor killing. We are calling this really a Public Health crisis how do you tackle such an enormous problems as well in many cases its just embedded in the culture of violence against women. Is a reflection of the underlying power relations and gender inequality in communities in nations so addressing gender inequality itself is an important intervention addressing masculinity negatively masculinity which expresses itself through violence and control is important as well we are also working now with men with boys many no authority young men ordinary men in society to address issues of culture and behavior change so that you can begin to create a society where. Men do not think it is ok to abuse women where women also do not feel that it is their feet that they will be treated as second class citizens by their partners because the majority of women who experience violence they experience it in the hands of an intimate partner so in better so close you need to make sure that once a woman is in a relationship that is not a permission for a mentor to the woman anyhow finally to what degree has the the outing of personalities like Harvey Weinstein helped you. Well the fact that high profile men are being sanctioned hopefully will begin to signal that this behavior is unacceptable it will detail other perpetrators the fact that also one men is able to lead so many women. We are hoping also will show society how prevalent is this behavior is and how also no place is safe workplace is not safe churches as you know are not safe institutions like us as United Nations are not safe this happens everywhere so we all have to be vigilant. This is such an important story that you can imagine the traffic that has been online that with me the conversation will we have a very multilingual conversation going on mainly across europe but some of the top hashtags in france today are violence against women and dont ignore it now historically the u. N. Set aside the twenty fifth of november to honor four sisters who were assassinated on this day in one nine hundred sixty for speaking out against their government and the Dominican Republic just three of the four were actually assassinated for modern women know this day is still relevant as weve heard especially in france the French Institute for demographic studies says about five hundred and eighty thousand women are victims of Sexual Violence every single year weve been speaking to many of you in france and paris actually a
