A ceasefire in syrias a look province has come into effect the breakthrough was reached after 6 hours of negotiations between russias president Vladimir Putin and turkeys leader recha type hurdle on the 2 back opposing sides in the conflict reports from moscow. It was clear from the start that this was going to be a tough meeting the partnership between put an end to one which was carefully nurtured in the past appear tense now with the turkish and Russian Military facing each other in its lip and turkish and Syrian Forces taking a high number of casualties but a direct confrontation has been averted for now with a ceasefire that clear. We dont always agree with our turkish partners on what happens in syria but every time including all moments we manage to find Common Ground on controversial issues and find an acceptable solution based on the high level of our bilateral relations thats whats happened this time that. Well negotiations in moscow were underway fighting and continued an airstrike blamed by opposition activists on russian warplanes killed 15 civilians including women and children a few hours before the landmark meeting took place. Undoubtedly a meeting on it live is of great importance in fact the situation in the region is very tense i know that the worlds eyes are on us. Early a ceasefire as brokered by russia and turkey havent held for long he has blamed Syrian Government forces backed by russia for a start of hostilities several times before but some analysts believe that put in might be less willing to back a start as strongly as he has done so far person in. Russia help to solve it lives problem as long as it didnt lead to a direct confrontation between russia and turkey or russia to a large extent has fulfilled its obligations towards assads regime so after that russia will likely try to make steps towards ankara. The test will come on march 15th when joint patrols of russian and turkish troops are planned around the m 4 highway and the buffer zone they announced in the meeting on thursday will have to materialize tense but constructive thats how president putin has described the 6 hour talks with his turkish counterpart the complex relationship between the 2 leaders is seriously being tested. And although time chins have been reduced today nobody can predict how this dangerous diplomatic game will and that plus an aljazeera moscow of a cease fire deal is being seen as a diplomatic triumph for turkeys president and offer some hope for the internally displaced families reports and and the turkey syria border until a few days ago there were huge concerns that turkey may not be able this time to get what he wants from the russians particularly about about live so the gov the cease fire to be implemented plus the safe corey doors and also resettlement of the civilians back into their ears and i think this is going to be widely seen as a major diplomatic victory for president as of a year at least for the time being because on one hand it will it means that he will have to be concerned about his soldiers deployed in the north west some province of live because with the ceasefire with the buffer zone with the Demilitarized Zone there will be no risk whatsoever for any attack targeting those positions but i think also turkey has been very concerned about the potential for a protracted conflict in it live that would pave the way for 4000000 civilians those who were displaced to cross into turkey i think now with this agreement they will be able to go back to some of the villages.

And pride joins us now from seoul surat tell us more about how south korea is responding to this real sense of indignation here in south korea taken by surprise it seems as though according to the South Koreans there was absolutely no consultation about this relations between south korea and japan are at best of times complicated they spent much of last year in a diplomatic spat that spilled over into a trade dispute and there have been recent times real efforts to try to build bridges to try to mend the damage but this threatens to derail things once more theres a real sense here in south korea that this is japan and in particular japanese Prime Minister shinzo are they playing politics he has a come under a lot of criticism for his personal handling of the corona Virus Outbreak in japan and this would seem to be of to many people here in south korea a pure deflection nothing helps you better in japan at the moment than a bit of career bashing theres a around 100. 00 countries and territories at the moment around the world have imposed some sort of restrictions or bans on travelers from south korea and south korea is obviously suffering as a result but there is a grudging acceptance that for many countries this is necessary especially developing countries no one wants to too often they cant afford to be importing an outbreak from south korea they simply dont have the medical services to handle that but thats not japan theres a feeling here that japan is a big sophisticated country it has the medical systems in place still to facilitate travel back and forth it doesnt have to impose this complete blanket ban so there is a real feeling here that this is a japanese politics at work and this was the response from south koreas Prime Minister. Yesterday the japanese government imposed a measure practically blocking the entry of all us citizens to japan we find this but he did write a bill and urged the japanese government to withdraw such an excessive and reasonable measure immediately our government will devise a proper Counter Measure against japans measures so rob how is south korea planning to sue counter what japan is doing well south Koreas National Security Council has this friday held a meeting to discuss this and has produced a very strongly worded statement saying that it is certainly looking at how to respond about what countermeasures to take talking about following the principle of reciprocity now if that sounds suspiciously like this going to be tit for tat then thats could well be what were going to see here who remains remains to be seen in the same statement the South Koreans have stress that they have been completely transparent they know that they have a National Crisis here that they are handling it with world class standards of medicine taking all of the preventive measures that they should be taking and being completely transparent in the whole process and they feel as though by comparison japan has not been not been operating at the same standards criticizing the measures that it has taken so its real basic stuff back and forth and the concern for International Community is they faced what is a Global PublicHealth Crisis is that 2 of the most important partners in handling this in trying to deal with it and try to have a unified response seem to be taking the gloves off and getting stuck into age old animosities ok rob mcbride at the latest from solved thank you.
