Bonuses even preferential treatment for their children as incentives to work on the coronavirus front lines and are in tailor nandan with the top stories from europe including the e. U. Takes on ai trying to resolve the real life dilemmas caused by Artificial Intelligence. And sport manchester citys chief executive heads out at the decision to ban the club from European Competition the most important thing i have to say to that is that the allegations of a natural parents arianna and says that didnt break financial rules. Hundreds of thousands of people fleeing a russian backed syrian offensive are being squeezed into ever smaller areas near turkeys border under her brendas condition. This is the latest stark assessments of what the u. N. Says is going on in northwestern syria its syria envoy and humanitarian chief have both address the u. N. Security council describing catastrophic human suffering today my 1st concern is for the syrian civilians caught in the fighting we continue to relay the urgency of their situation their desperate need for safety they feel they are not being heard i appeal of once again for full respect for International Humanitarian law and for an immediate cease fire in italy ultimately towards a nationwide cease fire i urge Key International players to continue intensify their contacts to restore calm i urge all members of this council to put their very firmly behind the search for a political way forward. Will live nighty my canner his that the United Nations fora so mike we also heard there from the russian and the turkish ambassadors its in countries where warning each other about imminent military action by the Turkish Forces yes indeed but we heard the special envoy mentioning the imminent action between Turkish Forces and russian backed Syrian Forces there has been ongoing conflict between these parties which has in turn led to an advancing off from clients through out the affected area this has caused a massive displacement of hundreds of thousands of people and continues to squeeze them into an even smaller region as a conflict is ongoing so on the face of it one immediate solution to the crisis would be some form of ceasefire between turkey on the one hand Syrian Forces backed by russia on the other but in the Security Council in the course of the morning it was made very very clear that neither was going to shift from the implacable positions. People are fleeing under horrendous conditions and many are on foot or on the backs of trucks in below freezing temperatures in the rain and in the snow then moving into increasingly crowded areas they think will be safe. But a need live nowhere is safe almost 50000 sheltering under trees or in other open spaces im getting daily reports of babies and other Young Children dying in the cold imagine the grief of a parent who escaped a war zone with their child only to watch that child freeze to death and theres the move. We dont like to see progress on the political track but to push through or impose Ready Made Solutions would violate the principles on which we all agreed and that is the future of syria should be decided by the Syrian People we will also seek to encourage all syrians to be constructive. Well certainly the situation continues to deteriorate it within the Security Council fingers pointed by the u. K. The u. S. Germany among others that russia for its ongoing support of syria in this crisis russia responded by saying that the crisis must be brought about by the Syrian People alone very clear that the Security Council remains as divided on this issue as it has been since the beginning of the conflict remembering too that russia has blocked any form of Security Council action using its veto on 14 occasions when it has come to discussions about the conflict in syria ok my can of their life friends at the u. N. In new york for no thank you well as mike mentioned the u. N. Envoy is there are warning or an imminent danger of escalation in the province the turkish president Richard Burton one says that he is ready to launch a military offensive against Syrian Government forces. Is on turkeys border with syria he sent through this report. Turkish troops in have been asked to expand their military outposts their presence here is the result of an agreement between Turkey Russia and iran 2 years ago to establish safe zones but these turkish soldiers might soon get involved in the biggest military campaign or their deployment president up by. The military operation is imminent to get. On the subject of id lip turkey has made all preparations to carry out its own operational plans as with every military operation on the subject ill say we could enter it lip suddenly one night. Undeterred by the turkish warning the syrian army stepping up its offensive government warplanes struck the town of to many in. The attacks have intensified over the last few days earlier this week president Bashar Al Assad said in a rare that his troops wont hold their campaign until it live forced into their hands talks between russia and turkey to diffuse tension have stalled each side is accusing the other of failing to implement the terms of the escalation in sure the guerrillas the key agreement on it was to separate the Syrian Armed Opposition who cooperates with turkey from the terrorists a terrorist according to the agreements regarding adlib was not be involved in a cease fire regime russia considers hay at the head of an alliance of rebel groups in it live a terrorist organization and therefore excluded from the ceasefire agreement of 2018 turkey seems to want the Syrian Government troops to go back to the areas behind the Demilitarized Zone but for president said such zones are no longer relevant since his army has advanced further into it and taken over more territory if theres no agreement by the end of this month the chances the escalation in the fighting about turn into an outright war between syria and turkey would significantly increase. The tie in Turkish Border with syria. Well its a matter of presenting syria also had an opportunity to speak at the un and he directed most of his comments towards turkey not. The governments of these countries have promoted the interference by the allies in the region in particularly the regime of murder one which violates International Laws and these governments have encouraged the turkish regime to undermine the security of my country and to launch military action these governments are trying to protect terrorists that have come to my country through turkish territory in fact. Well lets speak now with canon rahmani hes a human rights attorney and advocacy manager at the Syrian Campaign and i dont see a regime group that campaigns for a free and peaceful syria thank you so much for joining us there from irvine california a very divided u. N. Security council here do you have any confidence the toll that the solution to this crisis can be resolved politically or indeed at the u. N. 1st of all we need to be very clear about whats happening right now in this is not a conflict between turkey and russia and the assad regime this is an all out genocidal assault by the assad regime against its own people turkey has stepped in in order to protect a deescalation zone that was agreed to by russia and the assad regime they are not there to fight against those countries and the regime in its quest to retake every every bit of territory of syria even when the people have rejected the regime has bombed 71 hospitals and put them out of service in a very short amount of time because the displacement of 1000000 people this is a catastrophe of historic proportions and to answer your question i have no confidence in a political solution because for the past 9 years were coming up on the 9th anniversary the u. N. Has has urged the assad regime to accept the political solution and the assad regime and russia have pursued only d military means and has stopped at killing has killed every single civilian the has gotten in its way in order to enforce a military solution so you and now need to take action this is not the time to continue to call for a political solution this is the time for action to stop the assad regime slaughter of its own people but the u. N. I think you would agree having forward this very closely for the past 30 years has shown absolutely no way forward to deal with this crisis the you read will not step in while the reserve russian veto on the Security Council so where do you see the solution do you support the efforts of countries like turkey as they move forward or potentially prepared to step in and stand up militarily to the assets government. If the u. N. Security councils unable to uphold its duty to protect people who are being slaughtered then it is the obligation of those countries to step in and do so individually and alliances with each other what turkey is doing is one step in the right direction to deter the continued assault on innocent civilians we cannot stand by the world cannot stand by as a genocide is happening in front of our eyes a 1000000 people displaced from their homes children literally freezing in the cold because they have been pushed out of their homes by a brutal ruthless regime and russian government we should not accept that and the International Community must act if it cannot do so through the Security Council in must find other ways to do so so so it is reliance and you are seeing because as i repeat we are not seeing any tangible way forward through the Security Council the question was raised again many people calling for an end to the hostilities so countries like russia at the Security Council were saying a political solution has to be finds syria is in the midst of a civil war there will not be a political solution while this war continues given that its a civil war and given the onus well the the the strength now is on the the our side saeeds why dont the rebels just surrender why doesnt one side just call it quits and end the suffering once and for all. This is not about one side surrendering to the rebels surrendered in many parts of the country and they were all forcibly displaced in massive numbers with civilians i mean what were talking about is essentially 3000000 civilians who have such fear of the assad regime because the regime tortures and kills its own people that the unwilling to live under this regime those people are have already left their homes in other parts of the country and now they are being slaughtered in the last area which was safe until a few months ago and there is no option for these people to go back to the assad regime they will be killed under that regime and the only option for them is to continue to be safe in it live and thats where turkey and like minded allies need to step in to protect these innocent people ok Karen Rahmani thank you so much for joining us from california canon ronnie from the Syrian Campaign. Now the u. N. Says its hoping to resume talks aimed at reaching a ceasefire in libya the internationally recognized government suspended involvement in discussions in geneva after the port of tripoli was attacks at least 3 people were killed on choose they would rockets were fired by the forces of warlord holy for have to about ports is the main entry point for supplies into libya and after Us Forces Say their target was an armed step or triple his government is now insisting talks cannot continue until the world firmly responds to what it calls violations after since met with russias defense minister. She says the pair agreed that a political solution is the only option for libya where diplomatic editor james bays has more now on the u. N. Effort to keep both sides in gauged in the process. The un has been talking all day to those representatives from the g. And a we believe got some salami the u. N. Envoy has been chatting to them has been meeting but also talking to their bosses Prime Ministers iraj and others in tripoli to try and keep them engaged in this process remember that we have the u. N. Security Council Resolution at the end of last week we had a meeting in munich which had 13 Foreign Ministers representing all the Key Stakeholders and in the International Community including the key supporters of the g. N. A. S. And of general hafta and all agree there should be these talks taking place and despite that weve seen the same thing that happened back in april last year general haftar going ahead with his military action and basically destroying the peace efforts everyone has said publicly theyre committed to the u. N. Process but clearly some of the countries supporting general haftar gave him the green light in april to march on tripoli and try and take the capital and since then general have to supporters have been sending in of memes to his forces planes have been coming in from the United Arab Emirates weapons have be coming over the border from egypt and theres been support from other countries as well. Well the leader of libyas internationally recognized governments fires all seraj has visited the tripoli port that was attacked there are warnings the attack will lead likely lead to significant supply shortages for hospitals and power stations starr says hes losing patience with some in the International Community. Because this offensive has been ongoing for the past 10 months unfortunately the International Community is still trying to appease the other side and this is what gave them the ok to continue what they have been doing we do not want this war that has been brought up on us but we are fed up with the International Community and other parties.

Rapid developments in Artificial Intelligence mean its true sion in everyday life face also increasing balance in the growth of the technology in the ethics around its use their focus all of the European Union for more lets head now to Lauren Taylor in a european broadcast center. Thanks very much hal yes the e. U. Has unveiled a strategy for regulating Artificial Intelligence as it looks to forge a different approach to market leaders the u. S. And china from Smart Devices to facial recognition ai is the technology of the future and the e. U. As you get to play a central role in defining codes of conduct to safeguard peoples rights barker reports from brussels. On a tour of the future European Commission chief ursula von delay in bringing. The use at a technological crossroads he wants to protect the rights and privacy of millions of citizens but it also wants to compete with china and the u. S. Where access to peoples valuable data is more relaxed Artificial Intelligence is about big data data data and again data and we all know that the more data we have. The smarter how algorithms this is why we want to give our businesses but also our researchers and the Public Services better access to data and the data can be used to create some sort of personally identifiable information about you use personal data so that it can encompass a wide range of Different Things from very personal of history personal character things around your health your genome but also to things when combined might also give information about you in the way that you live access to peoples data is vital for Machine Learning thats a branch of Artificial Intelligence where machines talk to each other without any Human Interaction or the European Commission want to do is increase access to peoples data without compromising their rights they want to create a safe data ecosystem but that requires rules and regulations. 80 percent of all of the information this digitally stored on people in europe is held outside the e. U. In huge Storage Facilities such as this one in iceland or using base technology but in the near future much data on people their habits preferences and how they interact will be stored on smart interrelated devices from Household Appliances to medical equipment and factory machines that will be used to shape supply chains ne
