A documentary about the treatment of migrants. And the dutch government to file legal action against russia over the downing of a passenger jet in east new crane 6 years ago. And im proud of how much and i have all the sporting kidding red bulls mats there step in with quickest in practice the head of sundays formula one clown in austria. So in the last half hour or so a u. N. Security council vote to extend humanitarian aid into syria has failed to pass it was vetoed by russia and china although the remaining 13 Council Member states voted in favor aid agencies have warned the decision could lead to die of consequences for millions of displaced syrians u. N. Said many of those whove been living in the northwest highly depend on it in fact describing it as a lifeline a diplomatic editor at the United Nations is james bass james we were on air for this it was one of those Virtual Security Council meetings and it was probably the shortest i have ever seen all done in 30 seconds. Very very short and very very clear you would think a Security Council meeting where the 15 members vote and its 13 to 2 thats a clear majority not at the u. N. Security council if those 2 are permanent members because they were russia and china they vetoed the latest version of a resolution to extend a into syria through syrias borders now the background to this is they used to be authorized by the u. N. Security council for borders to bring in a at the end of last year russia cast a veto on the on extending those 4 borders and in the end the rest of the Security Council had to agree to only 2 borders to bring in the a 6 months on and the same thing is really happening russia has cast a veto backed by china in fact this is the 4th vote this week as they try to come up with some new formulation that everyone can support and it means that if nothing is agreed by the end of friday that whether whether were talking about 2 Border Crossings or one Border Crossing theyll be for a time no Border Crossing because the existing authorization runs out at the end of friday that is as far as the existing resolution goes. Reaction is coming into the situation 1st from the 2 countries on the Security Council who came up with this latest version of the resolution they are belgium in germany once again the coparent holders thats belgian in germany presented a compromise proposal purely based on objective humanitarian needs on the ground this proposal has overwhelming support from Council Members over russia and china chose to veto this purely humanitarian approach not very critical you might think of russia and china thats because theyre trying to negotiate all of them behind closed doors to come up with a way forward so they dont want to. Pour fuel on the fire if you want to hear a critical comment listen to what he when rights watch said lou sharpeners the u. N. Direct. Russia and china cynically vetoed renewal of the u. N. Cross border a man they politicized humanitarian aid in syria like they accuse others of doing elsewhere it could be a virtual death sentence for many millions of syrians i think we know the russian position very clearly they want just one Border Crossing and they stress that its the sovereignty of the Syrian Government which is the government of Bashar Al Assad and most of the aid should come through damascus rather than from syrias external borders whats chinas position well i have got a statement from john june who is the Chinese Ambassador in the last few minutes hes telling us that years of illegal sanctions of wrecked havoc on syrias economic and social development exacerbated the humanitarian crisis and we can syrias capacity to respond to code 19 serious threats in this resolution they would like some sanctions relief for the assad regime and thats one thing that will make them potentially change their position is there a formula that can can bridge these difficult divides as i say the Security Council is meeting as we speak in closed session but the clock is ticking time is running out well thats what i wanted to ask you about when a mandate like this expires and as you said its the end of friday and there is no extension is that it the board has just closed and everything grants to hold. Yeah theres never a clear when theyre talking about because clearly the u. N. Security council is here in new york but its mandate is global but effectively i asked put this to the un secretarygeneral Spokes Person in his briefing couple of hours ago and he said well it ends at the end of friday and that means by the time people wake up in syria on saturday morning if there is no extension then they can be no a deliveries until the Security Council acts and the added complication to this commercial is because of covert 19 as you saw the u. N. Security Council Meets as a grand Video Conference call with all the ambassadors appearing on a grid screen well they also have different procedures for voting the old way is around a table there around the horseshoe table here in the u. N. Headquarters not very far from where i am now but thats completely empty and theyve got a provoking procedure but its quite complex and what they do is they all submit letters and theres a window for voting which is 24 hours for them to submit their letters so even if they come up with a compromise i cannot see now a way unless they all agree to shorten the voting procedure it is only a temporary procedure during the code 19 restrictions but it if they stick to that 24 hour voting procedure then its clear there will be no humanitarian aid for a large part of saturday delivered not just by the u. N. But by all its partners and worth reminding you the u. N. Figures for 4 april and may say that the u. N. Supported 1300000 people from its cross Border Operations bringing any aid in from turkey into syria and of course the other factor in this is that thats mainly to it glib its mainly to people in opposition controlled areas and thats why you can see the accusation this is all very political ok thank you for all of that information james bays our diplomatic editor at the u. N. Meanwhile the World Health Organizations regional director for europe is visiting an area along the Turkish Border with syria but the hans collusion is overseeing the delivery of essential medicine and supplies to the civilians in northwest syria earlier he met Turkish Health officials to discuss the impact of coronavirus the 1st case of the outbreak was confirmed in the region on thursday on to other news on a ruling in turkey that will have significant cultural and diplomatic implications it surrounds this building the ideas of theory 1500 year old unesco World Heritage site in istanbul which for more than 85 years has officially been a museum but a few hours ago Turkish Court changed all of that in old the 934 degree to decree im sorry that turned it from a mosque into a museum and then almost immediately the turkish president egypt typo and signed a new decree allowing muslim worship to resume there the idea severe is important in both islam and orthodox christianity it was a church for nearly a 1000 years before becoming a mosque so heres our team across the story John Psaropoulos in athens more reaction from there because theres been a lot of opposition to this from greece but 1st simcoe seal you in a stand bull still so many people out there it underlines what a popular place it is for people to visit how is this going to change now. Well come on this place is fair for pool for both domestic tourists and for Foreign Tourists coming over as it is a museum but for the turks of course its has a different meaning because turks have been awaiting for to reopen the place for worship for the last 8 to 5 fierce thats why as the state council and mounts the decision to reopen the place to reopen i also feel dozens of people came together and as as evening came there are more and more people coming here with their families theyre chanting they are celebrating that i also feel is now back again a mosque another museum so everywhere they will be able to fray here and present our lawn is actually having a televised nation rights speech and its still on the way out but he and now says on july 24 i also feel will open its doors for the 1st worship 1st prayer for the most them in turkey he also announced that in the status is change from mission to most but it is going to be open for everyone and the fee for entrance the ticket fee is lifted so that whoever wants to visit inside iowa sophia they are free they will be free to go inside visit or if they want to worship they can do their prayers like it is and blue mosque blue mosque in the same area just a poor say a sofa and a couple of days ago to accuse for a sensual spokesperson to prime cullen actually said that it is the same with the Notre Dame Cathedral in paris so it is the same format he said but of course this spicy a public support and thats a positive reactions to the decision there are International Reactions strong will mention the reactions from greece we have real reactions from russia they are actually more the right. Sions are more reserved they said they are upset about that the situation and then we heard about some member of the Foreign Relations committee that turkish politicians have promised them that the christians will be allowed to vote of course as for prisons are done everybodys allowed but what is different is that muslims are able to pray inside again but he emphasized that this is turkish territory this is this the situation is a nationalist over and its a decision so turkey is an independent country as they took of the situation to turn it to a museum back in 1934 they are free to change a decision through a president ial decree or a cabinet there if it was the parliamentary system as before so he says no one can interfere with this this is our decision and we will be of course they they have promised that they the architecture everything is going to be preserved but there will be some preparations to make the place ready for july 24th prayer but one thing that are done on the line was important is since they the state council and also the sedition there were dozens of people here chanting saying all law is fair you know as if its they are risking truth came from by isnt seen as something so this was interesting and he said i urge my citizens not to go there create crowds not to take make show off or take pictures or try to get inside the museum because we will all have to prepare it for everyone. Until july 24th the patient and by then you can go and visit so he actually wanted to. 6 a bring down a cold on the people who have been here as i said you know as if its and he mentioned that this is this is a legal issue this is not a debate of Belief Systems or religions he also on the line that during his speech and for now. Everybodys going to wait for it the 1st spray of that is going to be happening on july 24th come up. With that update from outside the in stone bowl scene in talked about International Reaction thats get some of that with John Psaropoulos in athens not just reaction but maybe a bit of context reviews about why the greeks have opposed this in the 1st place. Well the official reaction so far has come from the Greek Culture minister. Who is calling it a bare faced challenge to the entire civilized world which recognizes the unique value and universal nature of the monument and she went further she said that its clear from this decision by the Turkish Courts that turkish justice is not independent but follows the whims of president to one and she said the nationalism displayed by present day one is a poor councillor and takes his country 6 centuries back obviously this is being seen in greece as a very political move not only does it muddy the waters of the already difficult greek turkish relationship complicated by disagreements of the aegean and of a maritime jurisdictions in the Eastern Mediterranean but it also now introduces a historical element there are 2 buildings in the world of enormous emblematic importance to the greeks one stands behind me here the acropolis in athens stating 25 centuries back the other is the 15 century old a year sophia which symbolizes the. Last empire the greeks. Hold to have borne their stamp which is the them part of by century in the eastern roman empire that capital city of constantinople was lost to a turkish invasion in 1453 and a yes a few was then used as a mosque it was converted during the secular reforms of camel acid and 19 in the 1930 s. And the greeks were happy for that to stand they were happy to for that to be considered a secular monument they even actually advocated for the removal of very large medallions with quotations from the koran in order. For the church to appear more or less as it had done for 1200 years during the byzantine empire which never happened and now of course that monument is being reverted to islam and clearly theres going to be for the reaction from the greek government on this because its a deeply emotional issue for the greeks it is both political and cultural and historic so contentious isnt it thank you for that that context that jumps out of us in athens where a quarter past this news hour heres a look at whats coming up the top Infectious Disease expert in the u. S. Says he hasnt briefed President Trump in 2 months hes going to sudans pass a law which now makes female genital mutilation a crime well have reaction from the campaign ads and in sports some n. B. A. Players are heading to florida for the restart and theyre taking safety precautions to the next level. When i go back to our breaking news our top story the u. N. Security council vote which was to extend humanitarian aid into syria but which has failed to pass weve got a lead she with us now from the Syrian American medical society he is in Fresno California thanks for your time today james bays our political diplomatic editor was talking to us earlier on the the phrase he kept coming back to was how this has been politicized this should just be about whats right for people and about humanitarian issues shouldnt. Absolutely i think hard you know charity to reach out to your audience unfortunately we are seeing that you need to needs of the people inside syria are being politicized by presenting not so comprehensive solutions to the u. S. For the council and weve seen the russia of the 2 unfortunate because eventually to the collapse of the major operation if it is adopted so there should be a strong position internationally National Community support. You need to know operation is that syria all syria thats all weve heard of critical conflict at the our what you write so what happens now to we just looking at pictures aerial pictures of these camps for displaced people what happens to them i mean does this mean the border is shelter and they just simply dont know where their next meal or where water comes from. So just to summarize the situation right now and i guess youre not exempt from ne now theres a large percentage. Theres a large percentage of commuter operation thats being done under a u. N. Operation the u. N. Umbrella not only provide resources were the major operation northwest but also provide legal ground and monitoring mechanism to assure the transparency of the operation and eyes when the from any. On groups or any critical sites at this time removing that u. N. Umbrella from the major operation will compromise the safety and the ability of the. Teams to reach out to the people and that extent in you are from more than 2000000 people who will not be able to find their meal on the 2nd did that start to more than 1000000 children will have no schools to look to because the operation is not on that and theres no crease of operation there so the movement being done and good shoes are very dangerous weve seen something comparable few months ago we are the northeast operation when you are would be a corridor west laws remit in operation and the operation was transformed crossed life from damascus weve seen how significant the drug was all the major resources and the medical supplies to the north east weve seen even thinks as simple as communication where the 1st corona case by case one document in north east was not humanly catered to the hospitals the north east until 2 weeks after that this was confirmed to be positive and efficient thats the way this is one to elaborate and that was it communicated and even w 2 could not overcome the obstacles that was put forward by the officers in the mask so trying to. Get was going to say do you fear that syria and the humanitarian situation there are risks falling off the map in some way you mention covert 19 which is another concern there but coronaviruses kind of and its its been the main story for the whole world for so long and Something Like syria ends up almost getting forgotten. Actually unfortunately it was the. Nasir critic messages that the situation in syria is bitter and theres no fight all of that those messages are actually not very true people are suffering the infrastructure is this truly people are not able to earn their income or make food for themselves leave alone the medical supplies for example you know we provide the largest medical operation northwest syria more than 3 percent of it and we know that the patients are running out of medications in very short time because the supplies are not sufficient
