was securing syria's lost rebel held province. but we and our turkish partners have serious concerns about the deescalation zone in lieu of terrorist continue to show russian positions and syrian forces they try to attack russian bases we hope that the deescalation zone will be a refuge for the rebels and should not be a platform to make attacks we discuss joint measures to neutralize terrorist hotbeds an igloo and to normalize the situation in this region and in syria as a whole we spoke with mr erdogan about it in detail and we found understanding on how and what we can do together to resolve these issues and despite their cooperation out of the one said his forces would react against the syrian government of necessary civilian. the provocations by the regime have reached an acceptable level i would like to say it is especially by our borders our right to self-defense and this leaves us no choice we have to act to protect ourselves i

discuss this matter with my honorable friend the president and we are happy to work to cooperate within the spirit steverson has more from near moscow where the talks happened. it was an unusual venue to have this high level meeting between the turkish and the russian president at an airfield no one was treated to this extensive air show and there was a lot of further discussions about buying possible new fighter jets or any other weapons but of course the main focus of this whole important meeting was the situation in the one had already told president putin that he is fearing a humanitarian crisis and also sees this as a threat to turkish national security put in of course was expected by the want to rein in the syrian forces that have been threatening also turkish troops but there hasn't been any confirmation that that's going to happen what both leaders

have said they are going to announce or they announce new measures to neutralize these rebels but no detail about what they exactly are going to do together which was in contradiction with what happened in april when both leaders also matt discussed the same topic then the decision was made to have these joint patrols which also never materialized so russia has actually been increasingly growing impatient with what has been achieved after this meeting in sochi last year when the agreement militarized zone was agreed and also turkey had agreed to disarm the rebels and that also has now for materialized so no concessions from the part of russia here but a lot of talk about how in times the relationship between the 2 countries has become and possibly new arms sales they have been discussing the as 235 and

also the new as 257 and there seems that the turkish president was interested and keen to buy more after these controversial as 400 anti-missile defense systems which were very much deplored by nato and the 2nd batch actually has arrived in turkey today. putin a noted the and went on to welcome the creation of a so-called safe zone of control northern syria kurdish led forces have begun withdrawing fighters along the border with turkey in spite of a deal between ankara and washington the u.s. has been backing the kurdish s.d.f. turkey views the group as a terrorist organization furthered smith has more from antakya on turkey's role in syria's war ready to tie bird one's dash to moscow was partly because of the challenge that the turkish military now finds itself with it has a dozen observation posts in what are supposed to be deescalation zones in

northwestern syria or one of those is now marooned in what is now syrian regime controlled territory because it was taken back in fighting last week and the syrian regime is pushing against other areas in this deescalation zone and these observation posts risk falling back into territory under syrian control erd one wants to make sure that those turkish soldiers are not threatened a longer term challenge for the turkish president is how much longer he needs to keep or wants to keep the soldiers in those observation posts when what was a deescalation zone is now territory under syrian control similar at the same time syrian kurdish forces that they have pulled back from the turkish border up to 17 kilometers they're pulling heavy weapons and troops but only from the countryside not from the towns in the cities it's nothing close to what the turks were asking for they wanted them at least 30 kilometers away from the border but this is a u.s. brokered arrangement and it's something that for now turkey is going to have to

live with. is managing editor of the english language newspaper daily he says the positive tone of the talks is the most significant sign of progress. from the get go if i don't see royalty also we can see that the atmosphere is. significantly positive between president are a lot of president who do. you know with regards to defense. messages they have expressed or viewed by that rule. and other relations but of course we are we are aware of that disagreement between 2 you know russia when it comes to the assad regime when it comes to developments and it. however. the 2 leaders are still on the negotiation table the talks are still continuing and there's also another hearing scheduled for busy. mid september on

the on this you year issue between. i think it's still ticks away from that negativity. so yes there are this but also leaders. are willing to negotiate and willing to go over when they can actually reach common ground. i think that's. playing more to come on the news hour including grieving palestinians demand israel returns the bodies of their loved ones revealing the truth in the indian administrate kashmir journalist demand access to report on the crisis. and 2 english teens face expulsion from the football league there will be here to explain why sports.

us president donald trump says brazilian leader jailed about these complaints in full support also now has been criticized for his handling of the fires in the amazon g 7 leaders offered $20000000.00 to deal with the situation of all synonomous says such an offer is an attack on the country's sovereignty he says he'll only accept the money of french president emmanuel mccraw apologizes for his comments said the world consul our brazil's government to destroy the environment. becomes even more solvent country and when we have major events we accept international solidarity because it's a sign of friendship but above all there are 9 countries in the amazon and many other countries ask for help it's important to mobilize it quickly so that colombia believe brazil in regions that it would like to have access to this international help can have it and can reforest quickly. daniel schorr has more from part of a 0. so a defiant message emerging from president job also noddles meeting with the governors

of the amazonian provinces and some of his cabinet ministers suggesting if anything that there is too much protection for this region he suggested measures will be put into place which will not allow indigenous groups to ask for any more land and suggesting that this failure to develop the amazon reviews on the region will leave brazil in poverty so although it's the rainy season now most of the fires have been brought under control the tri season inevitably will occur again next year and there are likely to be more developers coming to regions like this like on to burn the vegetation to prepare the land for cattle ranching and soya plantations they have the backing of their president they have the backing of many of the governors the message coming from the g. 7 summit in france not really being heard here is anything really i'll antagonizing president job also now at all involved in the exchange of insults with emanuel not

called on president to manual marker on the frogs to the extent he's even been insulting his wife so that's the level at which the debate has reached suggesting that the attitude by the french is colonialists is imperialist and. suggesting that brazil knows how to look after its amazon jungle doesn't want to accept the money that's been offered because he said that would come with strings attached so as i say while the smoke has abated for now we're likely to have a similar situation next year with similar pressure coming from the international community job also naro continues to be defiance. fires of him burning throughout the amazon rain forest to record levels this year 77000 flames have been recorded across brazil over the last 12 months now this map from nasa shows those burning across south america right now satellite imaging also shows the amount of carbon monoxide those fires have produced this month alone now in less than 2 weeks

they've pushed the levels as you can see by nearly 2 thirds come from outside plays a huge role in air pollution and climate change the amazon absorbs 2000000000 tons of carbon dioxide every year playing a key role in regulating the earth's climate erica baringo is senior biodiversity research associate at the university of oxford she says the wildfires in the amazon a manmade these fires are not natural they don't start because of climatic conditions fires and m. is in need of human guinea shin source so someone needs to put the fire somewhere for the fire to spread into why do you are seen by fires that are related to the forest station so of course the forests stop them then it's satellite up the few months dry and the end of the dry season you set a light for it to become at shows and that it's possible to put pressure on so what are you seeing this year the scale of the fires here is related to it for

a station that the 1st station numbers having crease of barely according to the numbers from the president's agency and that is about to paint about a high number of fires that m.s.n. alone is towards the equivalent of 100 years of c o 2 emissions from the us that's how much carbon it's locked into them is in a moment that cut it down and it couldn't fire all that carbon goes to get atmosphere either it's you to work every month oxide as you mention so of course it's going to have a huge impact in to accept a rating climate change. iran's president says his country will not hold talks in any nuclear deal with the u.s. unless all sanctions are lifted. honeys comments come a day after the u.s. president said he was open to the meeting with the iranian leader if circumstances were right trump was speaking at the g. 7 summit in france president emanuel macaws offered to facilitate talks between the 2 but rouhani insists washington must take the 1st step for talks to happen

pass. the 1st step is to remove sanctions without it this lock won't be open all sanctions against the iranian nation must be lifted they are all illegitimate and cruel if you lift the sanctions and apologize to iran then you would be a difference to ation this government is moving forward in line with this national interest we have been open to negotiation and the word agrees with this fact. has more from to head on. president rouhani has been speaking in front this morning and he took the opportunity to address some of the news coming out of the g 7 meeting that donald trump has said that he's willing to meet president rouhani if the conditions are right now what president rouhani has said is he's reiterated that ring in line that there will be no talks and negotiations as long as the u.s. sanctions are in place he said that all sanctions against iranian nation must be

lifted that illegitimate and cruel now iran has referred to the sanctions as economic terrorism. experts have been drastically reduced the banking sector has been affected and the economy has also been affected president rouhani said that he did not see any positive developments unless the united states change the wrong path it was on this is very different from what president rouhani said yesterday because what he said yesterday gave people some hope that he was willing to sit down and talk to president donald trump president rouhani said yesterday that if he had to attend a meeting with somebody some. on too forward in national cause and to alleviate the people's problems he would do that for the national interest now overnight that seems to have changed and that could be because of the supreme leader ayatollah khomeini who decides all major policy directions because in the past he has said that iran will not sit down with the united states as long as the sanctions are in place in fact he's called it double poison basically saying that you are centrally

sitting down with the very people that are making your country suffer so it looks like there has been a change overnight and iran is reiterating its positions that there are no talks no negotiations as long as the u.s. sanctions are in place. china insists there were no recent contacts between washington and beijing to talk about trade those comments came after the u.s. president said they did talk on the phone on monday donald trump predicted there would be a trade deal with china very soon both sides have increased tariffs on each other's goods in recent days has more from beijing the chinese government reiterating that has not had a direct contact with its trade delegation and that of the united states this is something that donald trump contended at the g. 7 summit meetings on monday also was reiterated again by his treasury secretary but china said no they said that late monday and also said that again on tuesday and

they also took the opportunity to tell the united states that stop taking wrong actually comes to dealing with this trade war also something coming out of the g. 7 summit reacting here in china they said that this see no british agreement from 1904 at the g 7 member said that needs to be upheld in hong kong china has said no that is an outdated document and that things have moved on from that this is something the chinese government has said in the past and also took this as an opportunity to tell the international community particular g 7 some members that this is an internal matter and essentially to butt out of china's business. united kingdom opposition leader jeremy corbett is launching an attempt to stop the country leaving the european union with no deal for more this the rest of the news from europe let's cross over now to lauren taylor in our london new center lauren thanks i mean yes gerri corben it's the left wing labor party has been having talks with fellow opposition parties and independents they've agreed to work together to

find a way to block a no deal break sit in parliament they've also not ruled out using a confidence vote to bring down prime minister boris johnson who's committed to leaving the e.u. on october the 31st with or without a deal parliament returns from its summer break next week and commons are now contacting m.p.'s of all parties including the ruling conservatives to drum up support for britain to all $116.00 m.p.'s that voted against no deal to ask them if they would recognise the importance next week of supporting a legislative approach which would be an all party approach to ensure we don't crash with all the problems that will create. learned more from the houses of parliament. for months now the main criticism of the anti brics it pro remain in the e.u. policies has been that they spend far too much time bickering with each other and not enough time coming out with some joint position on how to oppose and if it

breaks it but eventually at this point at the end of the summer with parliament starting next week it looks as if they are trying to suggest that they got their act together and are behaving in a in the united way so gone for the time being seems to be the suggestion of holding a no confidence vote in boris johnson his government's just on the grounds that they couldn't win because there aren't enough conservatives who would support that position because it make it look like they're there they're in the pockets of jeremy colvin the labor party leader but instead what these opposition parties have now said is that they will do everything they can see to legislate against a no deal breakers and to force a delay in the process so the u.k. doesn't end up leaving on october 31st which is what boris johnson has absolutely vowed will happen and so to that end the main calendar date looks like it'll be something around september the 9th when parliament debates issues to do with northern ireland and of all governments it looks like they will try to add bits on to force that to late in the deal but it's one thing saying they will do that is

quite another actually being able to do it because as we saw earlier this year parliament voted repeatedly against no deal and yet it still remains the option because they couldn't find anything else to vote for and so the next thing all these opposition parties have to do is to think of something else that replaces a no deal brick sets which could command a majority in parliament otherwise the threat of no deal is as they would see it remains on the table and i think at this point you'd be you'd be a fool to rule out a national election because in my end up still being the only way to break the deadlock. and on the other side breaks it party leader nigel her says he is willing to work with burris johnson as long as the prime minister goes for a no deal exit otherwise ferrars is threatening to fight johnson's ruling conservative party in any future election can you trust boris johnson this is you. can you trust the conservative party. you see even without the dark side of this is the worst deal in history

italian president has started the 2nd round of consultations and party talks to form a new government after the resignation of prime is to do that because if we could go after earlier setbacks talks between the anti establishment 5 star and the center left democratic party appear to be back on track here's president donald trump has weighed into the crisis saying he hopes content will be reinstated to head any new coalition. italy's interior minister has banned another mediterranean charity ship from entering italian waters the german vessel is carrying $101.00 people who were rescued making the crossing from north africa to europe comes as at least 5 people including a child have been killed and around 40 more a missing after a boat bound for europe capsized 15 kilometers off the coast of libya united nations refugee agency says around $65.00 people have been rescued. the european

inquiry to be set up into the crisis specifically into the conduct of the police and carry lampa said time and time again that the time is not right for an independent independent inquiry while there is violence still going on on the streets she was also asked again whether she would resign and she said that a responsible chief executive at this time should continue to hold the fort. our judge in the u.s. state of oklahoma says pharmaceutical giant johnson and johnson helped fuel an opioid epidemic that killed more than $400000.00 people he's ordered the company to pay 572000000 dollars in damages over its aggressive marketing of addictive painkillers al-jazeera and the gallagher reports from norman oklahoma. oklahoma set out to take on a pharmaceutical giant and after 7 weeks of evidence judge found bachmann's ruling was blunt and found that johnson and johnson is culpable in fueling an opioid

crisis that's claimed more than 6000 lives in this state the crisis has ravaged the state of oklahoma in the s.b. and made it made immediately for this reason i'm interested in the plan there. says cost talling 572000000 102028 dollars to a media living really a nuisance the case is being seen as a landmark ruling in dealing with a health crisis that's claimed tens of thousands of lives across the u.s. the centers for disease control and prevention say that in 2017 alone close 250000 people died from opioid overdoses lawyer reggie witten was part of his legal team and lost his firstborn son to addiction i feel like i'm always looking their. protest no but i think my son austin are celebrating the day we got to get help. he says of his lawyers but johnson and johnson say they'll appeal the decision

calling it legally flawed the state's lawyers were asking for $17000000000.00 from the company but only got a fraction of that is the amount of money that johnson and johnson has been ordered to pay may not be what the state of oklahoma wanted but the message it sends is clear the judge in this case was unequivocal in blaming big pharmaceutical companies in their role in an opioid crisis has blighted the lives of so many and with fountains of other cases across the country this may set an important precedent to the pharmaceutical companies put do and tiva settle before this trial got under way with monday's ruling oklahoma now has close to a $1000000000.00 for treatment and this is being seen as a huge victory by those that work on the front lines fighting the epidemic were very very happy this is a good day for the state of oklahoma we took on a giant major pharmaceutical company in a judge in norman oklahoma said you killed people it's time to pay the case was being closely watched across the u.s.
