A new president bending 15 years of left leaning governments and iran reports more deaths on the coronavirus and sees the number of infections jump to nearly 1000. Coming up in support of the corona virus continues to affect global sporting events well hear the possible Football Team from stuck in europe after being bored from returning to their families of the same sort of the virus outbreak. Turkey had warned syria to back off from its offensive to capture now its taken action to block out the threat said shot down 2 syrian warplanes early on sunday in a new escalation of military action close to its border this video emerged of one of the planes being hit the attack happened as turkeys defense minute. Announced a new military campaign had been nonchurch to drive Syrian Government troops away from the buffer zone near their shared border its all of the killing of 34 take your soldiers in airstrikes on very same as get the latest from our whos in a forest on the turkish Syrian Border its been quite an eventful day with contradictory reports early on the downing of a drone for a stand warplanes being shot tell us about whats happened today there was a busy day for the markets by confrontations in different baath boss of northwestern syria the took a smoother to be shot down to syrian fighter jets over. Continues its attacks targeting governments positions in different bars of the province but this is quite significant and we can see the past where the Turkish Military is tipping up its military insisting that. All the military action or the Operation Spring shield is part of selfdefense and retaliation for the death or 34. 00 soldiers at the same time the Turkish Military is providing significant assistance to the rebels of the move in different parts of live province but while the turkish government and the military are talking about this operation which this say will continue until the syrian army pulls behind the Demilitarized Zone or the buffer zone or the border with turkey that of course the diplomacy diplomacy is that both parties russia and turkey are trying to give diplomacy a last chance that of course the president and president Vladimir Putin will meet all the 5th of last year trying to set aside those differences about how to move forward and 1st of all implement a cease fire in lip ok thank you very much for that update hashim had been my for us in had techies border with syria barely i spoke to one who was this year is serious senior syria adviser to Samantha Power who served as the u. S. Ambassador to the United Nations under president barack obama he says turkeys escalation has only complicated the situation and syria is likely to respond. Turkey is determined to venture the killing of its 34 soldiers and i think now over 52 soldiers have perished in it live. Weve seen the Turkish Air Force particularly its fleet of drones systematically take out regime artillery pieces tanks and also personnel and it seems that they will continue until they feel that they have punished the Syrian Regime enough and dissuaded them and their allied militias from encroaching further up north and ideally retreating to. Into their side of the m 5 highway which is where that the escalation zone kind of border ended up its the really the ball is in the regime and the Russian Court how they respond to that either that the except these new terms by turkey or challenge again they feel that they are limited you know objectives have been achieved visa v. Securing their interest in syria and projecting their power they have no interest in a full out war but they also have to be careful in not getting in tangled themselves with turkey and as youve seen now they have actually been. Watching this play out they have not responded against turkey or turkish assets inside it live and thats actually angered the Syrian Regime and its allies militias including iranian backed militias if you watch the videos online so turkey does not wish a full up confrontation and its in a difficult spot now because it has broader economic and political ties with turkey ideally would have liked to see it lip fall to the regime but turkey just now made it come you know complicated the situation for them and i think russia is going to hope that this is the end of this round but knowing the Syrian Regime they continue to challenge turkey which will. You know precipitate another round of escalation. Meanwhile thousands of refugees and migrants many of whom have fled to syria fighting a continuing to gather at turkeys land border with greece the surge in numbers follows turkey decision to open its borders to europe the greek Prime Minister has called a meeting of the National Security council Greek Security forces say theyve had prevented 10000 people from entering in the past 24 hours and greek police are reporting that more than 500 refugees and migrants arrived on the greek islands closest to turkey on sunday the e. U. Border and Coast Guard Agency called frontex has already deployed hundreds of its staff to greece and area and is looking to deploy more the agency says we are monitoring the situation closely and have raised the alert level for all borders with turkey to high they also say they are monitoring the situation in cyprus they say we are in close and Constant Contact with the greek authorities regarding Additional Support we can provide in this rapidly evolving situation al jazeera natasha name is intervene on turkeys side of the border with greece she says the situation is increasingly desperate for people trying to cross the border. For about 45 minutes we could hear sound bombs just to give you some contacts this road behind me leads to the official checkpoint with greece greek police were firing tear gas at refugees and migrants at the border who were throwing stones at them theyve been caught in a no mans land able to cross the turkish official border but in between a spot unable to cross the greek border and it has been a very tense and frustrating few days for people who say turkey told us the borders are open you can leave and go to europe but they say we are cold we have no food we have no shelter and were not being allowed to leave a government spokesman has said as of a short time ago that since turkey opened its borders more than 80000 people have left turkey for europe now those numbers are being questioned by people on the ground given the great resistance theyre facing and difficulty theyre having attempting to cross the government Spokesman Says that the government has modified its policy it will no longer be preventing Syrian Refugees or any other migrants from leaving and instead it shifting its focus and its limited resources to formulating a contingency plan in the event there is an influx of Syrian Refugees from the government spokesman adding that it does not have the resources to accommodate an influx considering that it already is host to 3700000 Syrian Refugees the Spokesman Says that it is time for europe to take action it cannot handle this challenge alone are less now speak to august there is John Psaropoulos who is on the greek island polls john many refugees have been arriving over the past 2 days on less poles what are they finding when they arrive and what have they been telling you i know youve been speaking to some of them. Well todays arrivals of more than 500 at last count and operations are still ongoing at sea as we speak was a significant ramping up compared to yesterdays numbers of 151 who arrived by sea so clearly there is a response now to the turkish governments change of policy weve spoken to some people who came here free of charge at least 2 people told me that they were approached by turkish smugglers and told boats were being prepared on the beach they could just jump in at no charge. Whereas other people who had made their deals with smugglers weeks ago obviously before the change in government policy 3 days ago paid their money normally but they too are being speeded up they were receiving Text Messages saying the time has come for you to go across now. The government has opened the borders so were going to put you in boats now so both fair paying passengers but also passengers who are being approached to travel for free and now being put in these detainees and the situation the numbers changing day by day so it still remains to be seen how far this ramping up has to go theres also been a reaction from the side of the island is here on less of us while many people here are happy to let the authorities get on with their job of search and rescue and documentation some people are not today we saw scenes of anger and confrontation at a small fishing harbor 10 kilometers north of here as local residents prevented the the refugees who had been towed to the safety of that harbor by the coast guard from disembarking going to shore we believe that those people eventually had to be towed elsewhere blockades by local residents are also preventing entry by. I also received moria camp and there are also blockades on the main roads running north and south along the island so there is clearly a determined group of local residents who want to prevent also reduces from doing what they normally do ok john thank you very much for that update John Psaropoulos live for us on les paul silence well lets speak some more about this not to Daniel Garvin whos in amman jordan hes the regional head of advocacy in the middle east for the Norwegian Refugee Council thank you very much daniel for being with us on aljazeera so we have a situation here where you have thousands of refugees stuck in no mans land between turkey and greece whose responsibility today. Well i mean our core concern is that these refugees are being. Political football. So being used to extract political concessions or so on the political. So its clear that i mean turkey has been phenomenally generous in hosting 3700000 refugees and they need the support of and so our national community. To ensure that we can continue to offer the asylum but equally you must do more for those who are sick and so National Protection should be offered a and not just states like greece which are are ordering turkey so europe needs to prepare both in terms of its funding response but also to accept more refugees to really get in from greece or resettle in from turkey so its a collective of. A collective responsibility for the refugee crisis a collective responsibility right now neither greece nor turkey are respecting these refugees rights to seek asylum you know you talk about europe needing to step up but thats not likely to happen anytime soon not in the media to any way what sort of protection or help them that that these people can hope to get. I mean i think youre right the fact is that the border is with europe at the moment and turkeys border with syria remains sealed so the. Plight of the displaced inside syria and there is almost a 1000000 displaced by the recent escalation. And millions more in turkey these are their concerns their welfare is being placed 2nd so part of this part of the answer on this yes is about funding and support to turkey in hosting those refugees but fundamentally if the International Community cannot find it within itself to protect civilians inside syria yeah to stop the terrible violence there then at the bare minimum they need to offer refugees effective protection indeed because even if turkey was to get the 5th and that its been asking for that wouldnt solve the issue what it i mean ultimately not this is this is linked to the violence and sides inside syria. The borders with turkey remain sealed so the minds of the International Community must be focused on stopping the violence against civilians inside syria as a top priority. And i mean 2nd to that there is the they have to offer safety for the if they cant stop the violence then these people needs to be offered a safe place to live Danielle Garman thank you very much for talking to go of unease with the Norwegian Refugee Council joining us there from amman in jordan thank you for your time.

It out is what the white house try to remain in a way you cant get it is the way. That it is thats a very. Popular here right now is that the president from. And he got out one of their own not invited because of the. d 8 hours rather that is thank you for the tourism ball reporting there live from the capital montevideo in other world news a day after a deal was signed between the u. S. And the taliban the u. S. Secretary of state michael bell has said he is hopeful for a start to intra afghan talks in the coming days and he goes he issues are aimed at ending americas longest war. The agreement set out the conditions that set out the space but no this deal doesnt depend upon trusting anyone it has a deep complex well thought out multi month negotiated verification complex and mechanism by which we can observe and hold every member of the agreement accountable well do that its not about trust its about what happens on the ground not only yesterday which was an important day but in the days that follow but afghanistans president has cast doubt on the upcoming power sharing talks gunny says the government did not commit to releasing 5000. 00 taliban prisoners and insists that cannot be a precondition for talks with the group a prisoner swap was part of the accord signed in ca town saturday its meant to pave the way for a long lasting peace and the withdrawal of all american and nato troops from afghanistan there about 10000 taliban prisoners being held in afghanistan the group says some of them arent actually combatants Hoda Abdelhamid is in kabul with more on what president ghani said. In less than 24 hours president he went from praising the agreement signed by the u. S. And the taliban as a stepping stone towards peace and stability in afghanistan you know saying that he refused aspects of that agreement president when he was specifically referring to prisoners that is part of that agreement about 5000 taliban held in afghan jails versus a 1000 afghans held in taliban jails well president said that its way too soon to talk about this that he was not part of that agreement and this is what he had to say. That there was a request regarding the release of taliban prisoners but it can only be part of negotiations and it cannot be preconditions for starting the intra afghan negotiations also there must be no issue of goodwill because the Afghan Nation must be assured that whoever is going to be released will not stand against it one day and he says that in the end maybe a good idea would be to put this to the Afghan People in a referendum and have them decide what this country so these are words
