so what if there isn't enough money for a syria a drastic example. you have all forgetting that the it's often forgotten that the waves of refugees a few years ago were ultimately interpreted by the lack of response to appeals from the united nations to get what it in the case of syria to we had refugee camps in the country as the border syria they were the first to take and refugees we had to close schools and clinics and cut food rations because we didn't get the funding we needed to help the refugees there the. people in desperate circumstances unable to get medical care or schooling for their children unable to feed their families they have only one option to move on again and we have to put far greater focus on prevention than on that that they've been through and through phuket in for that's also the goal of u.n. secretary general antonio terrace not intervening earlier identifying crises as they emerge. so that we're not reduced to being a fire truck or an ambulance when it's already too late and it's just a this season there are many crises i

thousand this week we look at the challenges facing german women married to islamic states terrorists in syria in south africa helping to save elephants lives and protect local forests and we discover what london cab drivers are doing to improve their city's quality. for years the northern syrian city of rock was considered the stronghold of the so-called islamic state the extremists took control of the city in two thousand and thirteen then in october last year after months of bloody fighting rocco was liberated by a coalition of syrian and kurdish forces islamic state might be out but many wives and children are foreign i-s. fighters are still in rock including some from germany and they're desperate to return. all zundel wants to do is leave and take the children back home after months of boredom living in cramped conditions. they have sufficient food and drink there are even cartoons for the children to watch there are no bombs no terrorism but the thirty three year old mother. mrs life in germany she grew up in munich went to university there and had a job in two thousand and fifteen she

solve some of the issues in germany's neighborhood such as the crisis in the middle east the war in syria for instance the refugee crisis but also the situation in ukraine which still remains unresolved and also there are other big issues where at least germany believes one nation alone cannot really solve them climate change is one but there are many other issues concerning the environment or the fight against poverty in the world so these are things germany will work on but i think the real focus is trying to be a force for good also in the u.n. security council make it work bring people together and keep them talking instead of just taking their vetoes and blocking progress because of a nominee in washington thank you. we'll take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world officials in the gaza strip say three palestinians have been killed and hundreds wounded in renewed protests on israel's border israeli army has fired tear gas and life bullets in an attempt to dispel the crowds israel accuses hamas of using the process to try and breach the border while prot

so france has been leading asked in syria and so they're both for iran to leave syria and that's what they can agree on really listen listen paris thank you. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world russia's president vladimir putin has told austria's of president sebastian courts that his country is interested in repairing ties with the e.u. is the pertinent has been meeting with austrian leaders on his first foreign trip since his reelection but he also calls for europe to lift sanctions against russia . the king of jordan has appointed the country's education minister out as the new prime minister. will form a new government today after the resignation of his previous s.-a. amid massive protests the king has instructed our results to review changes to the country's tax system and issue that spot he said mass demonstrations. movie producer harvey weinstein has pleaded not guilty to charges of rape and sexual assault and if he's free into court in new york the charges involve two separate women used the first cases to come to court and scores of

the crisis europe is facing now is partly a fusil of it's apt to act early on what was happening in syria during the early days of the revolution. and also great to have with us trust him he's co-founder and director of the public policy institute and he says the migration issue has long stopped being mainly about refugees it's now a tool in the fight for political power and identity in europe a fight that has the potential to lead to an implosion of the european union. so welcome to all of you i'd like to start out by picking up on your opening statement. because in fact arrivals are very definitely lower according to the u.n. h.c.r. the high commission on refugees see arrivals in twenty seventeen we're at one hundred seventy thousand more or less that's down by half of what it was in two thousand and sixteen and by eighty three percent compared to twenty fifteen so given those numbers where is this sense of crisis coming from what's driving it thank you thank you for the question thank you for having our un in the show. i think that it comes from two thousand and fifteen basically it's

a little bit of clout of course they get to cost their votes on these big international issues from syria and yemen the wars there the global effort to combat terrorism and of course the un's big peacekeeping missions in places like south sudan mali and the democratic republic of congo so what can germany bring to that table given that the security council has been fast and united in place. well the german foreign minister is over in new york and he's been talking about exactly this issue heiko months of course. the key issue that he says the reason for voting for germany why one so many votes he says the council has become increasingly deadlocked and he says it's the job of the elected members like germany is now to build bridges between these great palace and. deadlock is this key word that comes up time and time again at the u.n. security council because when it comes to the crunch the top body in world affairs has been unable to act on global crises and this always boils down to the core interests of these veto wielding big permanent members typically the u.s. russia and china and whe

and that is an on golan heights of in part of the golan heights which is disputed between israel and syria these understandings that you mentioned this they seem quite shaky moscow the u.s. and jordan they all agreed to deescalation zone around daraa a year ago now russia is involved in these attacks again why. well the russian side of the regime we've seen russia do the same in all other deescalation zones as well i mean remember what that was a deescalation zone too when we saw the events there the way the un for day and thousands were left stranded thousands have to then date the buses to it lives of russia has been siding with the regime with the machine you see is the look the rebels there are all kind of believe there ought of of the list are which is not factually correct there are people there are rebels who are all. jihadi sort of sick but then there are those with the free syrian army and other groups who are also there and that us with russia says these are terrorists just what assad says and hence we would have them now america is forcing russia to resolve the situation because

are from these five countries syria afghanistan south sudan myanmar and somalia the agency says that resolving just one of these regional conflicts would have a major impact on the global refugee crisis well the united nations high commissioner for refugees has released its report with us here to talk about it is the u.n.h.c.r. representative in germany dominic botch thanks for being with us so the number of refugees has jumped to a new level what's behind the numbers well i'm afraid the cause is unchanged it is conflict that is civil wars it is persecution against individuals the drivers that force people to seek protection elsewhere unchanged so in a way it is almost a given fact that this number increases year on year that many of the nations that take in the refugees they're poor and they're struggling to cope even rich countries are having difficulty dealing if not in practical terms in political terms how is the what is the u.n. doing to try to promote burden sharing among these countries there is a concerted effort now to try and end hons the international solidarity that ties
