Baba amro of alipo, this is where the syrian army have actually won another war against terrorism, as the syrian army call it, as the syrians say they will not back down until all armed groups are out of alipo, mayaser, price tv from alipo. Maya could stay away from the battlefield, he could watch from a distance, any of these bullets can put an end to his life, but discovering the truth gives people the power to take the risks. This man is the head of the Alalam News Network syria bureau, his name is hossain murtiza. He asks his cameraman not to get closer. He is worried about his safety. Hussein, like maya, is putting his life on the line to report the events closely. مايا مايا خذ شي مطرحان النار عندهم. We have been receiving threats since we began our coverage for the syrian unrest, but they will not be able to silence the truth. While covering the story in hajar alaswad, we were ambushed by an armed group who opened. This time round hussein survived. I hope nothing bad happens to him, because i know he will go to the front line. Stand by the syrian army by airing the truth. On whats going on. Syrians say this is the case of not only journalists, yet any civilian who tries to stand up against militants without the corporation of the local residence. Once again its a war and a conflict, once again fear. Once again, its maya, once again, news and reporting. Army forces are pinned down because of the snipers, no one knows where they are. Stuck in doubt between going and staying, its a hard moment to decide if one should give in to fear or seek to discover the truth, please tell us the latest on what you have, good morning, right now the explosions happen uh the information is very little about maya directly calls the network to report on the conflict in syria, the the damage is huge in on square and no further information about the victims yet uh maya can you hear me still is the uh is the situation has it calmed down or is it still taking place okay weve lost maya but were going to try to definitely uh get him back on the phone so we can find out again the. That is taking place in syria and that is there is no going back, the host thinks that the connection was interrupted due to a technical problem, but bitter incident happened Staff Headquarters and were going to try. To get my back later on يا عمي يلا يلا قتل واحدا بسرعه the Hand Movement pronounces that maya is dead, it is hard to believe, but it is true, its half pastnoon here in the iranian capital of tehran. This is press tvs world news. Our top story insurgents in the syrian capital damascus have attacked press tv staff and killed one of our reporters. Press Tv Correspondent maya naser came under attack while reporting on air just hours ago. He has been shot and killed by sniper. Press tv and alalam bureau chief hossain murtaza has. Has also been injured in the attack, the two were covering the twin blasts in damascus and the ensuing fighting. قتلوك. خافه من كلمتك بس. خافوا من الحقيقه، بس يا مايا. خافوا من الحقيقه، خافوا منك. I put myself in his parents shoes. I felt a pain in my body. The pain cant be described, the pain cant be understood. It isnt just a journalist to pays the price for telling the truth, all their family members and friends will pay the price too. I think to myself that i have also walked down this path, what if. Something happens to me, the face of my father, husband, mother and sister flash before my eyes. I recall my children, i havent been a real mother for, for moment, fear runs down my spine. Maya nasir, press tv, from damascus. Mayan naser, press tv from damascus. Myan naser, press tv from. I dont want to be selfish, but everyone has mission in life. I a reporter, and i have to be. The voice of the voiceless. Kobani is a kurdish majority city in syria near the Turkish Border. This city is besieged by daesh, and turkey does not allow supplies to reach them under the pretext that it is fighting the kurdish pkk militants. I went there to do everything i can in support of the defenseless people. The area is very unsafe and the worst things can happen at. Any moment. I cannot remain silent in the face of the oppression. The resistance of the people of kubani is outstanding. Their voices should be heard. Right across the turkish Syrian Border lies the city of kabani. The city is currently besieged by isil militants and is being constantly shelled by them. Thousands have so far fled the city and crossed the border into turkey. This is an american air strike that just hit the city of kabani. The us is supposedly targeting members of the terror group isil. Curds watching from the turkish side of the border. Say there are still thousands of civilians inside. How long can i help the voiceless in this unequal battle . To what extent should i take the risks . What is the border between fear and caution . What will happen to my children if something bad happens to me . There are thousands of questions like that in my head, but i cant find a answer to them. I wondered what id expect. From a journalist if i were in the place of those mothers and if my children did not have moment of peace because of the fear of daesh, and if their lives were in danger, shouldnt i be the voice of the voiceless . Serena, please bring us up to speed, huge humanitarian catastrophe still happening in the area and that there, why is the turkish government not opening that border to allow goods into people who need it, and another thing, the faces of displaced children and women constantly flash before my eyes, their pain is my pain, i cant leave them alone because of fear or my family, everyone has a mission that is has uh has tried to take over this town of kabani, and they also warned, they said that theyve seen these grus from sites, that theyve seen the people being decapitated and bodies just laying on the ground and little Young Children being raped and you know the elderly still stuck inside and theyre going door to door, looking for kurds, looking for christians and basically you know giving them the fourth degree and more often than not, still have family members inside, theyre saying that theres thousands of people still stuck inside and it seems that any type of you know uh hope makes them feel just a little bit better. I am trying to push open the way to help the fighters by accurate and nonstop information dissemination, so daesh cannot take over the city. If they capture kobani, theyll trigger another massacre. The capture. Of kabani means daishs power in syria and iraq will incrementally increase. Kurdish officials are warning that kabani is about to fall. That means the remaining kurds who are still trapped inside the city could face genocide. The terrorists need massive support in this war. Food, medicine, weapons, machinery and training militants require a lot of money and. Crossborder support, the main conduits that reinforced daesh have to be identified and cut off. For me, finding the logistics paths is a priority. I have done this once before in turkey. If you remember, about two years ago, i prepared heated report on the Turkish Border. The report was about sending weapons to syria for terrorists and training militas to help the militants in syria. The turkish intelligence accused me of spying. Intelligence agency has now accused our correspondent sirena shim of being a spy. Lets discuss this further with her as she joins us via skype from near kubani. Now serena, are you spy . No, not at all, and i am very surprised at this accusation. Ive even thought of actually approaching turkish intelligence and because i have nothing to hide and ive never done anything aside from my job and id like to make that apparent to them. However, i a bit worried because as you know and as as the. Viewers know that turkey has been labeled by Reporters Without Borders as the largest prison for journalists, so i a bit frightened about what they might use against me, uh, we were some of the first people on the ground, if not the first people to to get that story of those takfirian militants going in through the Turkish Border from the bebel rehanly border, being sent in uh, i got images of them in the in World Food Organization trucks, it was very apparent that they were. Took fury militants, buy their bears and buy the clothes that they wore, and they were going in there with ngo trucks and and i just find it very odd, they went to several local residents here, asked about me, the residence said, no, we know her, we have seen her before, weve seen her work, she is not a spy, and they were they were blantoned on going through with the fact that no, yes i actually am, and that they they told any people that if they see me to bring me in or to give them a phone call, so i find it odd, i dont see why why the. Are taking this action against me at this point . I think that it may be because uh some of my previous stories that ive air because now in in the area of kababani we havent been inside weve been weve been telling the story from the turkish side of the border, theres other uh International NewsNews Agencies there as well. I dont know how they tell their stories or how accurate their stories are, and if thats why they have pinpointed me in this particular incident. Oh, but i have spoken with a lawyer as a. Because if they do take me and i do want to be ready and i want to be able to you know see where we can take this case legally. This is the car in which i was with judy. Dont worry, judy is safe. It was terrible accident. Im glad judy wasnt seriously hurt. Judy irish is my relative and also the cameraman of my reports. A few days ago i told my mother that i cant keep going in this region and the threats against me have increased. I can no longer work in this region. I have planned to leave this area with a great achievement. Ilceye bagll aligor mahallesinde meydana geldi. Iddiaya gore irandan yayln yapan pres tv muhabiri serana shiim ve kameraman judyrishin icinde bulundugu kirallk otomobil beton mikseriyle carplstl. This broadcast with very very. Very sad breaking news for all of us here at press tv. Our correspondent sirena shem has been killed near the turkey syria border. Serena was killed in a reported car accident when she was returning from a report scene in the city of sourich in turkeys orfa province. She was going back to her hotel when their car collided with the heavy vehicle or for provinces near the Syrian Border. Serena shim covered reports for press tv in lebanon, iraq and ukraine. My date of death was recorded as october 19th 2014, 9 days after my birthday. Do you remember . I asked you to remember the month of october. I said it because of the day i died. October 19th. She grew up in livonia, but her career took her to the middle east where she covered the war on terror. Officials say she died in accident, but her family still has questions. Fatima, our condolences, thank you for coming on the show. Is it your view that turkish intelligence was involved in the death of your assist . I didnt think that my story would grab the attention of news agency so quickly. There has been a wave of skepticism about the accident, whether the accident was. Cause by overspeeding or a plot by security officials, what is certain is that i am no longer here to find the truth and report it to the people. The exact circumstances of serenas death are still unknown, they may never be known, and one of the concerns is that the us may not be very eager to press on with any meaningful investigation into what happened to surinashim in order not to hurt relations with turkey. Its about the journalist sirena shim who died in turkey under very suspicious. Circumstances, did her deaths raise suspicions here at the state department . Well, i think weve spoken to this in the Briefing Room several weeks ago, after after it happened, i dont have anything to add to to what the spokesperson said at the time though, but then uh she she died several days after she she claimed she had been threatened by the turkish intelligence, have you inquired about this, have you asked questions, is there really . Nothing new about this . Well, i just dont have any update to to share with you. Again, this was, this was raised shortly after her death, the spokesperson addressed it. I dont have an update to to share with you at this time. The noteworthy issue is us officials put gag on the results of the probe into the accident. Do you know why . Because even though i was an american, my crime was not working for their News Agencies. If i had worked for a us media, there would be medals and statues next to my. With titles like the defender of democracy and freedom of speech. It is hard for me to see these moments and also the pain and suffering of my loved ones. I lost my family, i lost my children, she spoke out and ultimately it cost her life, so hopefully the mass media will pick up what everybody else is being spoon fed in the lies. She gave her life to save other peoples lives. My sister is hero and it shouldnt have cost to her life to do her jobs us from uh the capital of lebanon bayboot uh to tell us more about this mariam uh obviously here uh at the headquarters of press tv everybody is uh in a very solem mood but we know that you were closer to serena than we were uh so tell us a little bit more about the bravery of uh this correspondent and of course the aftermath now. Of what youre seeing and witnessing there of where you are, of course the mood is mood of shock, heartbro, we are all heartbroken here. And when we get went to her to visit her family they are of course also uh shocked and heartbroken and they uh they just theyre waiting for few words of condolences and that that that has helped them a lot of course our visit to them and talking to them because they believe that of course pressv was sirenas second family in addition to her family and uh she she had always for been dedicated completely almost completely to press tv as a journalist she was a real professional journalist and and she was a real journalist and if she wasnt that way pres tv wouldnt have given her the positions that they gave her lately, mean in four months she was kept in various strategic areas along the region and dangerous areas as i highlighted previously for pres tv to take that decision that mean that they saw quality, they saw Amazing Things in her quality characteristics for them to actually take that kind of decision, she gave up everything, she stayed away from us all just so she can prevail truth, we miss her dearly. We want justice for her, always knew serena was going to do something amazing in this world, not amazing, always knew serena was going to change the world, but didnt know serena was going to change the world in this way, wanted serena to change the world in a different way here with us, but the world all is talking about her, it makes me so proud, and ive always been proud of serena, people now know what serenas done, but ive always known who serena is and what she could do and what she would do, thats what i told her to do, thats what i her to do, told her what to do this to go on this way. When i see my father, i remember his picture looking at me with high hopes and seeing leadership in my eyes. I tried to stop the countries in west asia like my own country lebanon from engaging in devastating proxy wars. I tried to get the message of the civilians and their pains across. I tried to shout the truth out loud. I tried to be the voice, i tried to be the voice. The voiceless, everyone is created for a purpose and has a mission. I hope i have fulfilled my mission. Have been deprived of their homeland of our homeland for sev.
