al-jazeera live from a headquarters in doha qatar heads. mothers how rowing story of how she watched myanmar soldiers throw her baby into a fire. celebrations on the streets as palestinian political rivals hamas and fatah striking a reconnaissance mission after a decade of disagreements and the u.s. is pulling out of the united nations cultural body unesco citing bias against israel which is following act of the door. thank you for joining us a turkish military convoy has entered northern syria in a new military operation these are live pictures from the turkey's. syria border

where more armored vehicles are waiting to cross turkey sending troops to syria is it live province to enforce the so-called deescalation zone there which a spot of an agreement between turkey iran and russia let's get the latest from al-jazeera. who is at the she goes to border crossing on the turkey syria border. this operation has been in preparation for some time now bring us up to speed with the latest how many turkish troops are actually cross the border and where they headed. following reports suggest that at least one hundred turkish soldiers are now in syria based in an area called. the western border of the province of dozens of the girl's. personnel carriers also crossed into the syrian territory now the the turkish military is

going to be stationed there for some time before moving into the city of part of the deescalation zone agreement that was signed between turkey russia and iran last month. it seems that the turkish army is aiming to achieve two goals here first of all they would like to block the kurdish factions particularly and they wipe e.g. from moving or expanding their territory from all the way towards number two they would like to ensure also that factions in live don't get in any fighting in the coming days and weeks with the syrian military and with the russians so to implement the deescalation zone so this is quite a significant development this is turkey's second border operation now inside syria in the lead up to this operation hashim the group. which is a former al-qaeda affiliate threatened all out war if it was

attacked as in any province so how fierce of a resistance are they going to put up how difficult an operation is going to be for tech issues and their allies. it is a delicate operation in the sense that. remains the most powerful the most. groups inside syria particularly in the northern part of the country they are the ones who control the problems the made it quite clear that. any invasion of their own land they say that they were ready to fight to the death now we don't know exactly what kind of coordination is happening as we speak between the turkish military and with. i would this is suggest that some of the. fighters were scorching the turkish military yesterday into. now the biggest challenge is going to be after them to pull out from to hand over their weapons because they insist they will continue to stay in that territory for as long as it takes until

the repel. forces from the area we know what the short term objective if you will of this operation is and that is to set up this deescalation his own province but what about the longer term goal here is turkey and russia and the other countries that agree to these the escalation zones are concerned what is the end game here. the endgame fall is definitely a settlement a final settlement of the syrian crisis fully if you remember the last few years the americas were hands on when it comes to syria they were the ones who. played a central role in trying to particular when it comes to backing the syrian opposition two thousand and fifteen. changed the ground with the russians interfering ability really and tilt of the ground in favor of what you have now is the americans have been sort of sidelined and the three countries who are likely to

shape the future of syria iran turkey and russia the deescalation agreements that we see in yesterday there was an agreement on the outskirts of the capital damascus is going to be followed by agreement in the border with jordan and also around the province of how most of homs is to. make those ceasefire agreement. conducive to some sort of final political settlement with the opposition. are they going to. remain in power these are the questions that we have to wait and see so this operation could market turning point in the syria conflict thank you very much for that. live for us the n.t. turkey syria border in other news iraq's government has denied its planning and military attack on the kurdish controlled region of the country kurdish authorities close roads overnight saying they received a warning of an imminent attack reports from northern iraq. this is the last

resin donald trump is expected to finally announce whether he will uphold the iran nuclear deal later this friday under the landmark agreement sanctions against iran were eased in exchange for curbs on its nuclear program president trump has criticized the deal and has threatened to scrap it mike hanna reports from the united nations a repudiation of the iran deal was a central promise of the trump alecto campaign and i'm disgusted i've never seen anything like it in my life and by the way be careful because we made a rare and a real power we gave a hundred and fifty billion dollars. now think of it think of the crowd almost certainly unaware that wasn't the case the sum of money released in terms of the deal was in fact iran's own funds that had been frozen by previous sanctions we didn't get anything we got nothing during his first months in office president trump had to acknowledge the fact that iran was complying with its side of the deal

formally certifying so on two occasions but the us ambassador to the united nations has apparently been at the forefront of finding a way in which the president could fulfill his campaign promise coming up with the argument that iranian compliance was not the only thing that need be certified we owe it to ourselves to look at every aspect of this deal and understand that this was a flawed deal and understand that this flawed deal has negative consequences as well this argument that other factors such as u.s. national interest should be taken into account rejected by other signatories to the deal. the new agreement is about nuclear nuclear is fulfilled the agreement is the living. made clear to the fact that the u.s. cannot take unilateral action without security council consensus the deal being signed by the five permanent members along with germany known as the p five plus

one how many you cannot join with me iran has. all members of the p five plus one stand in line with iran except that one russia china three european countries the holy you and hundreds of countries they are all standing with iran perhaps the real interest of president trump is not the deal itself but the perceived political and personal need to meet one of his campaign promises if so president trump could pay a long term cost for the short term satisfaction of his right wing support base not least the dilution of trust in u.s. commitment to international agreements the fracturing of relationships with traditional allies and the possible if not probable repudiation of a security council whose authority would be disdainfully floated by a thumping member mike hanna outers era at the united nations. and the trump

administration is ending subsidies for health insurance companies for low income patients the us president signed an executive order to let small businesses ban together to buy cheaper health care plans critics are worried it will give workers fewer benefits and force insurance prices to rise donald trump is trying to undo his predecessors signature health care law known as obamacare. still ahead on al-jazeera. whose mazy gets for some top two hundred five. relief as a son and his family are freed in pakistan after being kidnapped by taliban fighters and we'll tell you why doctors are coming together to address the misuse of antibiotics. hello and welcome to international weather forecast the weather is getting quite

interesting across europe changes are afoot it's still looking pretty unsettled across northern areas and across the. center bringing cold air in the cross certainly parts of russia there with eleven years of my son in moscow but central areas looking fine and we're getting more of a southerly flow pushing up from the west and this warm air is going to continue to push northwards over the next few days so certainly fine weather across central and southern areas frontal systems pushing across northwestern parts of the u.k. specially towards the early part of next week but really read the mediterranean absolutely beautiful conditions at the moment rome they're looking at temperatures mid twenty's athens something similar on the other side the mediterranean the breezes coming in off the sea there are a few showers around the gulf of otherwise caro's looking fine weather conditions temperatures that in the upper twenty's are very pleasant indeed that way through saturday so let's head into central parts of africa and here we've got heavy showers really from congo cross towards gabon and northward towards cameroon there

are a few showers further towards the west but once you get up into mali where the conditions are largely draw and find highs of thirty eight there and bamako for southern portions of africa looking very fine high for twenty four in capetown.

you're watching al jazeera live from doha a reminder our top stories a turkish military convoy has crossed into northern syria in a new operation to enforce a so-called yes collations only needly province is part of an agreement between turkey iran and russia. iraq's government has denied it spawning a military attack on the kurdish controlled region of the country kurdish authorities closed roads overnight saying they had received a warning of a tot tensions have been rising between the two governments since a kurdish referendum on secession from iraq last month and myanmar's leader on sun some she has called for unity to resolve the crisis in a rare televised address she has been under pressure for not condemning the army's alleged abuses against the muslim minority. israel is trying to follow

the united states and pull out of the un's cultural body unesco washington says the organization needs fundamental reform and has an anti israel bias political hane has more. you could be forgiven for thinking that you nest go wouldn't be all that controversial its mission to promote peace gender equality protect important sites like the statue of liberty or the great barrier reef but this summer it also recognized the old city of hebron in the west bank as a palestinian world heritage site the u.s. says that showed a bias against israel one reason it said for its decision that issue was the same reason that the us stopped funding the agency in two thousand and eleven when the palestinian authority was made a full member it didn't pay but didn't give up its membership either so its bills kept wrecking up currently it owes us go five hundred fifty million dollars another

reason it says the us is quitting at the end of twenty eighteen the question is you know do we want to pay that money and do we want to pay more money going forward when there is actually a law that says the u.n. entity that accepts palestinians as a member state can no longer receive u.s. funding so that's part of it the move has been roundly condemned by diplomats in a school is about promoting our ideals and values to culture education and science these values and ideals. very much part of france's d.n.a. but also america's d.n.a. . this is part of a growing trend of international disengagement president trump is taking the u.s. out of more than just yes go he also said the u.s. would pull out of the paris climate deal and he walked away from the trans-pacific partnership he's also threatened under the south korean trade deal the north american free trade agreement with canada and mexico and possibly the iran nuclear

deal still this is not the first time the u.s. has left us go the decision to withdraw was made by president reagan on the recommendation of the secretary of state the u.s. left in one thousand nine hundred four over what it said was a pro soviet bias but it rejoined in two thousand and two some analysts say this sends a dangerous message this to me is a bad message and it's a bad message because it says to our allies we're not going to be a leader anymore we're not going to play the kind of role we promise to play after world war two and to our would be adversaries it sends the message aha this may be an opening united states maybe in retreat and we can fill the void. the trump administration often says the campaign pledge america first doesn't mean america alone but it is looking more and more like that with each passing move away from

the world stage patty calling al-jazeera washington. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has condemned a deal between the palestinian groups and hamas saying it makes peace with his country harder to achieve. palestinians in gaza and the occupied west bank have been celebrating the agreement which was signed in cairo on thursday the rival factions had been at odds for a decade the deal pace's gaza and the west bank under the control of one government for the first time since two thousand and seven hari fawcett reports from ramallah in the occupied west bank. in a grand hall of the egyptian intelligence headquarters and hamas officially signed on to egypt's grand plan for palestinian reconciliation after a decade of division both sides expressed hope that at this time it was very good. and there has been full agreement on the concept of empowering the government and the legitimate palestinian government will return to working normally in accordance

with its prerogatives and the law. despite the fact that we have some different views different political points we have different disputes but this will never change the fact that we are brothers we are brothers in religion we are brothers in nationality we are brothers in the national interest we suffer the same we have the same future we need to find a way for a unity of our people to secure the end patients of our people this isn't the first time they've been here repeated attempts to reconcile have failed a main stumbling block the future of hamas his military wing appears for now to have been set aside. palestinian authority security services are to resume running gaza's border crossings including the vital one with egypt and other issues how to run internal security and merge two separate groups of government workers are being addressed step by step along the lines of a twenty eleven agreement also signed with great fanfare in cairo. here in ramallah the palestinian president mahmoud abbas welcomed the deal saying it accelerated

palestinian reconciliation delegation head indicated its timelines and targets would ensure that it stayed on track and of course it has egypt reeling hard down the necks of both parties in gaza so damaged by the split the economic blockade and three israeli wars people are talking cautiously in terms of hope. when we used to hear about any reconciliation efforts we would think immediately of the failure of it but we hope this time is different unity could at least solve the power crisis and bring happiness to the gazan people. we've had enough eleven years of suffering without electricity no medicine for people no travelling we want to live like other nations. so far the israeli reaction has been muted saying how mass would need to recognize israel and give up its arms but without the full bore opposition of previous reconciliation attempts an international push for

palestinian reconciliation led by the us who is much more interested in the so-called big deal between the palestinians and israelis and without palestinian reconciliation this deal might not go forward in gaza celebrations were underway not least of the prospect of an end to restrictions on salaries and electricity imposed by the palestinian authority earlier this year to put pressure on hamas but it's clear that this is the start of a process the coming weeks will feature plenty of opportunities to build mutual trust or weaken it herefore sit in the occupied west bank. the families of two people who were freed after being held captive for five years in pakistan have spoken of their relief a canadian man and his american wife were held by the taliban network they were released with their three children after a tip off from u.s. intelligence services alan fisher has a story. caitlin coleman and her canadian husband joshua boil were seized by the taliban linked to county network while hiking in afghanistan five years ago they

have three children all born in captivity just last year they issued a video asking donald trump to negotiate the release donald trump and legacy of a millennium human worship in the country is that those who speak high and over this long ideals are going to simply raise our family usually because because it is correct they want money power in france you must hear very nice things before progress can be very pakistan says acting on u.s. intelligence it launched a military operation to free the captives in the border area between afghanistan and pakistan the pakistani government's cooperation is a sign that it is america's wish that to do more to provide security in the region and i want to thank the pakistani government want to thank pakistan they were very hard on this and i believe they're starting to respect the

united states again it's very important. in canada joshua boyle's pins give a brief outline of the dramatic rescue mission just described about thirty five entirely pakistani army personnel. and at the end the five people in that car captors he described this morning as having been killed and the five survive so he was quite a few sort of in his praise for the pakistan military. kuhlmann spins hooman pennsylvania a message has been to the front door welcoming the release of their daughter her husband and the three grandchildren and requesting time to process the news alan fischer i'll just you know at least fifty four people have been killed in severe flooding in northern and central vietnam more than three hundred homes have collapsed in floodwaters and landslides a typhoon hit on tuesday followed by a tropical depression and another storm is headed towards the country. now the

overuse of antibiotics has been an emerging problem in health because for years it's being addressed at a conference in berlin where doctors are discussing ways to limits a rise in bacterial resistance connected to the misuse of medicines china is one of the worst offenders of the overuse of antibiotics says david palin explains from hong kong china is the world's largest producer and consumer of antibiotics and you certainly get a sense of that in hong kong doctors here prescribe them liberally and despite being illegal you can get them over the counter without a prescription in fact we got these at a local pharmacy with no questions on there used to treat pneumonia bronchitis and skin infections among other things and you can also get stronger ones online like holliston known as the last resort drug only used when bacteria will not respond to any other antibiotics and this is why the city is known as

a breeding ground for superbug fact last year the government recorded one new superbug infection every eighteen minutes in public hospitals we must occur for use of these over the coming. weeks you know because that was one of the most common calls causing these. back to where this need to be controlled and it will be. because otherwise how about a piece of software and second it will be equally important to control it or restrict the use of antibiotics in the agricultural use and also in the farming industry china is also the world's largest user of farm antibiotics and have most of the meat and product you can on can come from across the border most people here are getting their doses of antibiotics from the food they eat and that is going to prove to be a much tougher issue to tackle as currently there are no regulations in mainland

china on the use of antibiotics and livestock and agriculture. again i'm fairly badly over the headlines on al-jazeera a turkish military convoy has crossed into northern syria and more armored vehicles are waiting to enter turkey is sending troops to the north western provinces enforce a so-called deescalation zone as part of an agreement with iran and russia it seems that the turkish army is aiming to achieve two goals here first of all they would like to block the kurdish factions particularly and they wipe e.g. from moving or expanding their territory from all the way towards number two they would like to ensure also that factions in live don't get in any fighting in the coming days and weeks with the syrian military and with the russians so to

implement the deescalation zones this is quite a significant development. kurdish forces have accused iraq o. sending its troops to two areas near kurdish controlled oilfields in kirkuk the kurdish regional security council says troops have been seen south of kirkuk city iraq's government has denied its planning a military attack on the kurdish controlled region of the country tensions have been rising since a kurdish secession referendum was held last month. myanmar's either on sun sochi has called for unity to resolve the crisis in a rare televised address she's been under pressure for not condemning the army's alleged abuse against the muslim minority in the united states the trumpet ministration is cropping subsidies to health insurance companies for low income patients the u.s. president signed an executive order to let small businesses ban together to buy cheaper health care plans critics are worried it will give workers fewer benefits

and force insurance prices to go up and the u.s. and israel are pulling out of the united nations cultural agency unesco they're accusing the organization of having an anti israel bias and say it needs to financial reform the inside story is next on al-jazeera. all jews iraq. and for you. trying to end a long standing split palestinian rival groups fatah and hamas reach a deal with previous reconciliation the terms between the move failed come this one succeeded what could it mean for the future of the peace talks with israel this is a sort of story.
