syria the russian military has stated that it reached a deal with rebel group jaish in islam and the jaish al islam had announced its intention to evacuate do monday which the rebel group is still holding and that they would seize control of that area but a short while after that she actually islam in fact denied those reports saying any reports stating that their group had in fact reached a deal with either the syrian government syrian pro-government forces or the russian government were. atlee falls we spoke with the spokesperson for islam by a doctor he said this our position is still clear and steadfast the rejection of forced displacement and the demographic change of the rest of eastern now this really isn't a change from what we've heard from jaisha this them the past several days while they are negotiating to try to reach a deal with the syrian government and the russian government they do not want their
8:08 pm
fighters to have to evacuate the area this is all coming at a time when there is a lot of concern of course about the humanitarian impact of what is going on it's still unclear just how many civilians may be trapped in duma how they will be able to get help and of course this comes at a time when there was another deadline given there was a deadline given by the syrian government the russian government saying that it did not come to some sort of an agreement with them by saturday evening that they would go ahead and go into that area and attack that area with full force. turkey's president has rejected france's offer to mediate between uncle and kurdish on groups in syria dismissing him and call as being absolute step this is president contradicted his own defense chiefs telling a rally in ohio the u.s. troops would pull out of syria very soon steph decker has more. the americans have long had a presence in this part of northern syria supporting the syrian democratic forces

arrestee f. in the fight against eisel but turkey views the kurdish y p g which makes up the bulk of the s.d.f. as a terrorist organization in the latest twist french president met with an s.d.s. delegation on thursday night in paris an offer to mediate which isn't going down well in ankara but there's the coloreds of it. says that he gave guarantee of support to the y.p. g that france can be mediators between turkey and the s.d.f. who gave you this judy do not engage things beyond. turkish armed forces have already taking the troll of much of the syrian province of a free in pushing out the y.p. everyone has long threatened to push further east on to members where the us has military bases and all the way to the iraqi border the americans have also been monitoring the potential front line between kurdish fighters and the turkish backed syrian rebels who are nearby to complicate matters even further the u.s. commander in chief had this to say and by the way we're not going the hell out of
8:10 pm
isis will become a syria like very soon let the other people take care of it now very soon very soon we're coming now. that boast goes against what american commanders have been saying all along that the u.s. will remain in the northeastern part of syria for now to prevent the resurgence of beisel trump port even the state department of guard and i can't comment on what the president supposedly said i haven't seen and i have to refer you back to the white house. i have not seen it myself and said it i have not seen that myself ok but you know you don't you don't necessarily comment or report on things that have been heard secondhand and i'm not going to do that that's ok that's fine so you're not aware of any policy determination to poor to pull the us out of i am not no no the u.s. presence in syria gives it a stake at the negotiating table as long as troops men tain their presence in the kurdish areas the war in syria is now entering a phase where russia turkey and iran are in the process of bartering for their strategic interests. the kurdish y p g currently controls around twenty percent of
8:11 pm
territory in syria the second highest area of land up to president bashar assad and his forces turkey wants that to change it's anyone's guess how it will play out stephanie decker al-jazeera u.s. president donald trump also told supporters at that rally in ohio that he might hold off on airing a trade deal size korea until an agreements reached with north korea denuclearization made the comment just a day after the commerce deal with seoul was agreed it would see south korea limiting still exports to the u.s. and opening its markets to the american car manufacturer us so we've redone it and that's going to level the playing field on steel and cars and trucks coming into this country. and i may hold it up till after a deal is made with north korea. does everybody understand that you know

8:13 pm
seems to be broadly tit for tat in line numbers wise with the explosions that we have heard from western countries kicking out russians over the script all of the british ambassador was told that the total number of u.k. personnel here diplomatic and consular past eventually match by the end of the month the number of russian stuff in the u.k. this is on top of the twenty three brits that had to pack their bags and leave some days ago that was of course because the u.k. had kicked out twenty three russians. what we're seeing here is this worsening of diplomatic relations tit for tat response its catalyst has been the script all affair but of course there is so much else behind all this much that's gone on over the last few years with the camp of russian campaign in syria with what's been going on in crimea and ukraine that has worsened relations between the west and
8:14 pm
russia of course blair putin and donald trump are both saying that there is room so walk back from this of course they have to say that they don't want to go marching off to war but yes we are in a severe diplomatic crisis of the moment and it doesn't seem to be getting any better right now still to come on the program. data from your facebook page is being used to try to change the way bill folks. as mexico's presidential campaign gets underway could it be third time lucky for the left wing front plana. whether set fair across much of central and southern china warm sunshine for many twenty six celsius in hong kong twenty three celsius the four shanghai wet weather

supposed to spark conversation facebook is promising to end partnerships with several datable because the help advertisers talk about target people on the social network it's trying to limit the fallout from allegations british from cambridge analytical improperly assessed data to influence the twenty sixteen us election don't know how takes a look at micro targeting and the ethical questions around the practice. legion field every single time the man who murdered joshua is an illegal alien they were asked to pave the way phil thank you to brussels political attack ads are nothing new nor is aiming there but a carefully selected audience of so-called micro targeting what is relatively news the use of personalized data by political campaigns to find out almost as much about you as you know about yourself in terms of the whole ethos of influence and persuasion you know every every every post everything that you like these are all
8:21 pm
bits of data that are going towards building a profile against people about the same knowledge of power so it's really surgically and been able to predict and influence people's behavior at the heart of the scandal involving the political consultancy cambridge analytical and its alleged use of data from fifty million facebook profiles is the charge that personal data has been used to distort and undermine the democratic process but the easiest way that you can influence someone's behavior is by can't continue to be showing them something time and time again and they become unconsciously influenced and therefore take comp attention on the new belief system the point of most political campaigns is to change beliefs and attitudes so is there anything wrong with targeting voters in this way cambridge analytical has boasted that its cutting edge micro-targeting campaign won the us election for donald trump that sparked outrage and indignation of course especially among trump's political opponents but
8:22 pm
it's worth remembering that a previous president is also believed to have won the white house thanks to online micro-targeting none other than barack obama and with considerably less outrage and indignation as a result well i think the segmentation that they are doing now which came down let's go doing now is very much the same thing that barack obama did in two thousand. and it's well it's trying to make the advertisements as relevant and personal to people and voters as possible benedict pringle is an ad executive who also runs a blog on the sometimes dirty business of political advertising he's day job and his sideline have much in common while campaign techniques become ever more precise winning elections is after all a sales job i think that the margins in the trunk election and in the press broke that referendum were so small and the number of people that were in play the
8:23 pm
persuadable voters were so few that the number of ads that were run the amount of money that was spent in targeting would have undoubtedly had an impact on the result would it change the result impossible to say well it impacted at least you know a decent chunk of the persuadable voters absolutely so micro-targeting is a winning strategy that's here to stay and the more data we put into the system about ourselves the more data is available to influence to persuade and to change the way we think jonah hill al-jazeera london. two of the candidates to be next it goes next president have launched their campaigns ahead of the elections in july and the front runner is the veteran left wing andres manuel lopez obrador he's facing some stiff competition as john holeman explains. it's going to be the biggest election in mexican history with positions up for grabs from excuse to

for a ruling party which has failed to curb corruption will deal with what is the elephant in the room for everyone and that's mexico's on going violence none of the kind that they have offered much detail on how that tackle it and will keep that focus on other things. that's bill's trouble the current administration had the same approach and today we're seeing record murder levels the candidates are on the other hand more than willing to confront this man and his plan and wolf a furious mix can publicly demands it but they're also showing some are strained in the end one of them is going to have to work with the neighbor to the north john home and al-jazeera exclusively. the battle between madrid and barcelona over catalan secession is bringing back bitter memories from the spanish civil war which ended nearly eighty years ago now for some of the relatives of those who died the wooden of that conflicts have yet to heal as david accords. in the hills above the village of us
