3:15 am
really as administration starts this is a very untested politician and he has nothing so the question does he want to spend all this time trying to deal with the peace accords or trying to make his mark as columbia's new president so at the moment if you ask experts here if you ask people in the street no one really knows the answer as to what do cable do with that fragile peace accord. we're going to weather update next here on al-jazeera then turkish soldiers begin patrols around the syrian border city part of an agreement requiring kurdish forces to leave the area the details coming up. but also a new study finds that around forty percent of the world's privately owned guns are owned by america. and that is going on in the streets. so whether sponsored

a saudi embassy coalition of fighting to retake the port city of her data from who thirty five says. turkish soldiers are patrolling the outskirts of the syrian city of man bitch as part of a deal with the us earlier this month turkey and the us agreed that kurdish y p g forces should leave the city they've controlled mandates. since driving i saw twenty sixteen with the help of u.s. support that was strongly criticized by turkey which considers the y. p.g. a terrorist group a sort of course the only reports from istanbul. this is seen as a reflection of a suck sess in diplomatic talks by the turkish authorities turks than americans have been negotiating over members for for a while and final last week top military officials that they have agreed on a roll map that y. p.g. would leave the town of memberships and course to that is certain side of the euphrates river which is a route line for turkey according to open sources there are about five to seven
3:20 am
thousand y p g fighters inside the sit inside the city of bates and there are about seventy thousand y p g fighters on that is the inside of the euphrates river so what is in turkish authorities mind is that the turkish military should get incitement it clears the town and provide stability and security to give the town back to its real owners who are out and then turkey wants to move to the instance side of members to be out. and actually called bonna to do the same plan like a member and no one knows for sure whether the you not to this will give a green light for turkey to cross to that side but turkey believes that having a six hundred kilometer border their own there is some side a few freight history where it is still a potential risk and just to remind present tied down has wall to clear his borders his country's borders from y. p.g. from syria up on to the iraqi border the u.s.

3:22 am
usually doesn't show its casualties and apparently there could be two strikes and the city government has accused the american americans of being behind these strikes the americans of course have denied responsibility for them so that picture is not clear so far and the videos that are being circulated are not seen on any of the official sites either of the militias or hezbollah or also the syrian government. all of a thousand doctors in australia cite a petition calling for refugee who's dying of lung cancer to be allowed into the country for specialist care the man known as ali is being held at an offshore detention center on the tiny pacific island now rue he wants to go to australia to be with members of his ethnic group andrew thomas reports now from bruce been. the refugee at the center of this is a sixty three year old has are a man originally from afghanistan but he tried to come to australia by boat instead under australia's government never australia policy he was deported straight to the

tiny bit of a god of the route where he's been for nearly five years he's got lung cancer he's dying everybody accepts that he wants to be brought to australia for palliative care and because he knows that members of his community are here to support him in his final days and australia's government has accepted that the medical operations on the route not adequate for his needs and they've offered to transfer him to taiwan he doesn't want to go there he says he knows nobody he fears people won't speak his language now doctors here more than a thousand of them now have signed a petition calling for him to be brought to australia i spoke to one of them about why she'd signed real want to die amongst people who speak our legs for us medical corps death happens to everyone but how you die matters in a sense this one man this one it situation has become representative of the way australia's government is treating all those with medical conditions on mannus island and in the roof and doctors in australia are putting themselves at the
3:24 am
forefront of calls for change more than one of the half million russians have signed an online petition against the government's pension reforms the proposal aims to raise the pension age from fifty five to sixty three for women and from sixty to sixty five and then the bill was submitted to parliament last thursday. challenge reports from moscow. well pension reform is something the ready made putin's various governments been putting off for years and years and years in fact in two thousand and five putin said this pension ages would never be raised while he was president currently russia's retirement ages are below sixty for men and just fifty five for women those are a legacy of the soviet years so they would come up with in one thousand nine hundred thirty two when life expectancy in the country was just thirty five for men and forty four when it's still pretty low by european standards but it has doubled
3:25 am
since those times so now there's unsustainable pressure on the state pension funds and the government obviously feels or think that now the time is rights for some reform presidential elections in march or safely out of the way but they still chose the first day of the world cup to sneak this this plan out they know that it's a very unpopular thing to do in fact in a recent poll ninety two percent of russians said they were against it the plan is for retirement ages to be raised to sixty five for men and sixty three for when for women that will be done over the next decade and a half the problem is why isn't he saying that vladimir putin is not actually involved in this pension reform is a government thing they will be watching very very closely for public reaction and if there is any sign that this is going to bring big crowds out onto the streets then perhaps they might roll some of this back civilians in the u.s. and more than forty percent of the world's guns that's according to the small arms
3:26 am
survey the swiss specced research group found that out of one billion firearms around the world eighty five percent are held by civilians militaries and laurent foresman agencies hold the rest are income from these small arms survey explains why there are so many guns in the u.s. . every country is very different and even in the united states there's a lot of variation among the fifty states in puerto rico. so you find a lot of variation habits part of what makes america so difficult is you have an awful lot of relatively normal gun owners people who own two or three guns but the surveys also show they're all an awful lot of what american statisticians call super owners people who have forty firearms or more which in the united states of course can include things like some my automatic rifles for example china and india both have relatively low levels of firearms ownership when you measure it see how
3:27 am
many guns per one hundred in comparison is that way they don't stand out at all in fact they look relatively innocuous but the sheer size of india and china mean that even when gun ownership is relatively rare the cumulative effect is enormous so you have tens of millions of firearms there because mostly it's a measure of just how big those societies are firearms aren't that expensive and it's a culture where gun ownership seems to be very important we have a broad number of estimates for yemen what everyone's agreed to is gun ownership there never was unusual and since the war broke out of course since two thousand and fourteen gun ownership has become even more commonplace there it's fair to say if you see an adult man there's a firearm very close by. place in germany have arrested the chief executive of the car maker audi is passive their investigation into emissions test cheating prosecutors believe the truth would stop may try to suppress evidence that

3:29 am
trump has repeatedly vowed to send people back to the moon for the first time since one nine hundred seventy two but our destiny beyond the earth is not only a matter of national identity but a matter of national security so important for a military so important and people don't talk about it when it comes to defending america it is not enough to merely have in american presence in space we must have american dominance in space so important frank rose served in the obama administration as deputy assistant secretary of state for space and defense policy he says the u.s. does face legitimate threats from space. russia and china are developing a number of capabilities to damage and destroy the u.s. satellites in secondly there's a feeling amongst many that the air force which is primarily focused on airplanes
3:30 am
is not focusing enough time and attention to dealing with threats in outer space so the rationale for creating a space forces there i think there are serious questions though whether a space force will solve the problem. it is good to have you with us hello adrian fit again here in doha the top stories this hour on al-jazeera despite growing condemnation u.s. president donald trump is refusing to stop separating migrant families who illegally enter the country trump says that he will not allow america to become a migrant camp and blame the opposition democrats for his policy the united states will not be a migrant camp and it will not be a refugee holding facility won't be you look at what's happening in europe you look
