one of the few you will see like this says least 20 years younger than she was yesterday just within 24 hours on al-jazeera. president on trumped threatens turkey's economy as tensions rise along the syrian border. hello i'm a star and this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up iraq's president condemns attacks on protesters and the media security forces to preserve the rights of all iraqis. nearly 100 people killed and thousands displaced as ethnic violence in eastern democratic republic of congo intensified. and not playing by

the rules why a tweet by the manager of an american basketball team has sparked a political firestorm in china. turkey's defense minister says its forces are ready to begin a military offensive into northern syria the us president has begun withdrawing troops from the region and threaten to destroy takis economy as a tax cut despite his there will be live on the takesh syrian border in just a moment but fast can be helped at reports from washington d.c. where transactions are drawing criticism from across the political divide. as u.s. troops begin pulling out of positions in northern syria their commander in chief donald trump defended his decision to withdraw now we've captured isis we've done what we've done we had 50 soldiers in the area talking about it and i said we want

to bring our soldiers back home it's been a long time it's a major shift in u.s. foreign policy one being criticized by members of the president's own republican party senator lindsey graham one of trump's biggest supporters on twitter pledged to reverse the withdrawal of the u.s. senate calling it a disaster in the making a move also backed by the top democrat in the senate and i can tell you this it is getting roland condemnation from democrats and republicans and i expect congress will take some form of action either a resolution or something even more. u.s. officials credit kurdish forces with helping take back territory from isolating northern syria but there are tensions between turkey and the kurds the turkish government considers one of its most effective fighting forces the p.k. k. to be a terrorist organization some u.s. lawmakers are threatening to sanction turkey potentially calling for its suspension

from nato if it attacks kurdish forces in northern syria but trump went even further threatening to economically obliterate turkey if the kurds are attacked i have told turkey that if they do anything outside of what we would think is you main they could suffer the wrath of a an extremely decimated economy still trump has long been vocal about his desire to get the u.s. out of what he calls america's endless wars trumps impulsive syria strategy has led to key members of his administration resigning last year his defense secretary james mattis and brett mcgurk eisel special envoy what this shows president. all of his predecessors were whether republican or democratic is only concerned about himself we have a moral responsibility to the kurds because without them we would not have

destroyed the caliphate in a statement on monday the pentagon made clear to turkey the united states does not back turkish operations in northern syria believing it will have a destabilizing effect on the region president trump campaigned in 2016 promising to withdraw the united states from foreign wars now with the 2020 u.s. election just a little more than a year away it appears potential voters not his senior advisers are the ones trying care about pleasing most kimberly help at al-jazeera the white house well let's go live now to the the syria turkey border where charles stratford is live for us and . charles as we've been hearing just there from kimberly turkey's already saying that the army is ready to launch operations at any moment are we expecting any tuchis troop movements where you are. well certainly there has been quite a lot of troop movement in this area we understand having seen pitches all of. the

heavy weapons being moved into position and we're hearing reports literally in the last hour that this seems to be. additional movement of turkish forces of turkish every weaponry into this area i'm standing in front of the town of tel aviv which was taking control of by the s.d.f. with the help of coalition forces from eisel into sal's and 15 i mean one of the 2 locations where we understand u.s. soldiers a small number of u.s. soldiers were withdrawn and withdrew a couple of days ago as we've been reporting there's a lot of tension as you can imagine and tension mounts as we get these increasing reports of a heavy weaponry build up interestingly in the last hour or so there seems to be some sort of protest that seems to be happening in tel aviv. over the

back of my left shoulder you won't be able to see it on camera but it seems that people have come out they waving white p.g.d. flags now they says this is the group that he considers to be a terrorist organization with links to the p.k. k. which is for an insurgency here into key for decades and is the reason why to he says that it has every right now to go in and launch potentially an offensive to set up what he describes as a safe zone to read this border area he says all of this organization that poses a security threat to it and to set up some sort of environment some sort of place where some of the 3600000 syrian refugees residing and he can be returned to but of course there are huge security questions regarding this plan the chief of which could be argued is the ice will separate tens of thousands of eyes. so prisoners had family members that are in prisons being held by the s.d.s.

and of course the s.t.'s have been so very instrumental and successful in the fight against us and very much congratulated by the u.s. so any kind of military move made by the senses you can imagine huge security ramifications well as you say it has tens of thousands of isis fighters in kurdish custody so what's going to happen to all those detained 5 says when the u.s. pulls out they said that they're going to hand them i've had a techie any indication as to how they went to manage that. there's been no response to those comments from there's been no response from the turks with respect to that certainly president trump said that yes that would be taking responsibility for any actual captives that the s.d.f. had in territory that anything anything that the turks took across the border around 8000 syrian and iraqi eisel detainee's around 2000 other foreign

myself ice's tens of thousands of family members but no real clear plan or no major announcement made by the turks as to how they are going to deal with this potential situation because of course a huge concern the european countries have dragged their feet and said that they were would be not interested in taking back our eisel members yet there's a lot of very serious on illicit questions as we move forward and as i say we're hearing increasing reports now of even more heavy weaponry being moved into position along the border stratford keeping an eye on things for us at the 3 attack you want to thank you charles. joshua landis is the director of the center for middle east studies at the university of oklahoma and he says that trump has little knowledge of what might become of texas full of kurdish forces i'm sorry if turkey you know want to as a military offensive this shows the real collapse of the foreign policy

process in the white house we've seen this before in it in korea decisions and tweets that were made about the iran situation in the gulf just a week ago people are guessing what america's going to do next and this is this is clearly not good trump wants to get america out of syria which is understandable he promised in his campaign that he would end the stupid wars in the middle east and he wants to fill some of that now that makes sense the trouble is you knows very little promise oblio about the long history between the kurds and turkey he doesn't realize how brutal the turkish army will be once it gets amongst the kurds iraq's president has condemned attacks on protest as during violent anti-government demonstrations in a t.v. address barham salih parliament to address protest as demands and called on

security forces to ensure the rights of all iraqis upper texted. yeah. i'm told i may support the formation of a committee made a professional incredible experts who have been opening the door for a constructive dialogue with the maimed powers of the especially our some of the protesters we will also work to make sure that the community will have national consensus and independence so we can identify the problem for the solution he said so we can start an effective process of reform and c.i.s. correspondent imran khan has the latest from baghdad. there's been a lot in the violent clashes between protesters and iraqi security forces here in baghdad there were 2 very small protests one taking place in southern city another in another neighborhood but this other city one is very interesting for the last few days people from so the city have been telling us that they feel like they've been under siege by the army and they say that the army has been firing indiscriminately at the protesters however and the government says that that's not

the case and what it's done is removed the army and replaced those forces with a rocky police forces federal police forces that seem to appease the protesters somewhat and they were in the kind of numbers we've seen over the last few days but it's not just here in baghdad we've also heard in the self the center of the country is very much a quite annoyed the protesters now what we're hearing in the south of the country is that young men have been stopped of the police of take a look at the mobile phones if they have pictures of the protests on their mobile phones they've been made to delete them if they have a great number of pictures and videos on the phone they've actually been taken into custody we're not hearing that from any kind of official source iraqi. police and army and the government haven't commented on that but from multiple sources in the south we are hearing that that's actually the case also what we're hearing is that the protesters may well be taking a look at what politics are going on right now and that's why there seems to be

this kind of lull in the protest movement. now weeks of violence in eastern democratic republic of congo have left at least 100 people dead and tens of thousands displaced the fighting has been happening in south kivu and military officials have told al-jazeera that more troops have been sent to the affected areas but they're dealing with fighters who are well equipped and organized catherine so i reports. we've come here with whatever little they could solve each of the some just the clothes they're wearing. has been fighting in the area that's in the eastern region of south keevil in democratic republic of congo. thousands of people mainly from the ethnic community have fled from their homes after attacks from a local militia group called by my buffalo are all dead now living rough outside this compound of a un peacekeepers base. we left on food in the village and now we're just

a bag of the my my that have done this to us. they took our cows goats and all other belongings we can't go back to the village to collect food and we're sleeping outside in the cold. this is what is left back in the villages have to fighting between 2 rival armed groups more than 9000 houses have been banned close to a 100 people killed and livestock stolen congolese military officials say they're pursuing the fight is. when i arrived in this area i met thousands running away because of the situation the 2 rival groups that are fighting from the number led to a community and a coalition of the mai-mai militia we are hoping to restore order. in another village meet some members of the my my group they say the rival militia provoked them. we did not stop the attack they did they accuse us of stealing their

animals yes we did during times of 4 like this they have also killed or a lot of. the problem within the unwilling gate is that they come to us 1st their militia group called in go mino also burn our homes and rape our women that's why our fighters are angry the security situation is still tense fighting is going on in some areas the united nations peacekeeping mission and congolese army have deployed more troops to protect civilians both militia groups are say to behave in the armed and neither is ready to back down catherine sawyer. all still ahead on al-jazeera. our ability to continue to redefine every single day what it is to be canadian what it means to be canadian canada's prime minister attempts to put scandals behind him as he fights for his political future. and you're a bit on trial columbia faces a dark past as an incremental former president faces the supreme court.

degrees on wednesday the average high for october is only $23.00 so even on thursday when the temperature comes down to $26.00 it is still above average it's dry sunny as well there for you and is out a little bit cooler in brisbane on thursday 24 and we could have a few showers for you then as while plenty of rain on its way into both ends of new zealand you can see here quite a massive cloud work its way south up towards the north knows a cold day in christ church a 21 cooler on thursday and that's what is widely unsettled across both islands. after the genocide the most vulnerable. times has been lifted the. one woman uplifted many close to. resistance they still talk you see football team poem in transforming lives in her community on the pitch able

to take their children to school. but was a future gets good women make change. and again i'm just. a reminder of our top stories this hour turkey says it's all set for a possible military offensive in northeastern syria the defense ministry says artillery has been positioned on a border town a day off to u.s. forces withdrew from the area. iraq's president has condemned attacks on protesters and media during violent anti-government demonstrations more than 110 people have

been killed in iraq just over the past week and thousands have been injured. at least 100 people have been killed and thousands displaced in violence in the eastern democratic republic of congo military officials say more troops have been deployed to the region to stop rival groups from fighting there. now protesters in hong kong are expected to again defy an order banning facemasks police now say 77 people have already been arrested for violating the law carrie lam has defended the territory's ban on face masks and says that other measures to restore order remain a possibility at this point in time i still strongly feel that we should find the solutions of steps. that is also the position of the central government that hong kong should tackle the problem on her own but if the situation becomes so bad then no options good people if we want hong kong to at least to have

another chance when chinese state television has now announced it weren't any n.b.a. preseason games it's in response to a tweet by the manager of an american basketball team about those protests in hong kong houston rockets general manager daryl morey has apologized after posting an image thing fight for freedom stand with hong kong and response some chinese businesses have cut ties with the rockets from matheson has the view from beijing. the overwhelming response on chinese social media to what's been happening in the united states has predominantly being that they love the n.b.a. they love basketball but they love china more busker ball is the number one sport in china it's eclipsed even the football china back in august hosted the basketball world cup and there are 2 n.b.a. matches that are being held in china this month one of which is in shenzhen one of which is shanghai and one of them is featuring the l.a.

lakers but the industry itself in china is enormous as well kids buy basketball jerseys basketball shoes bags anything branded with the n.b.a. and anything to do with basketball one of the reasons for its popularity is actually the time difference between the united states when the games are broadcast and when the games are shown here there's about a 12 hour time difference and that means that the games are shown predominantly around lunchtimes here in china particularly on saturdays and sundays and that means that it's picked up an enormous audience because there's very little all those sports that's being shown on chinese t.v. at that time but here in china the response has been very significant but very very patriotic and very nationalistic the global times newspaper which is a state owned newspaper and supports the government has published an editorial this morning saying that china is not being sensitive on this matter it is simply that hong kong is a very serious issue and it does not want it treated lightly it does accuse the

united states of hypocrisy by saying the united states is very confident in its rights as far as freedom of speech are concerned but it seems to avoid those rights when for example it comes to talking to india and pakistan about issues with kashmir so a very significant uprising in nationalistic feeling towards china with regard to what's been going. on the united states the question is now whether or not this issue can blow over if the general manager all of the hoost in rockets decides to for example resign or is sacked or whether this could actually continue now some song electronics says its operating profit stopped by more than a hof in the fed quarter compared to a year ago analysts say the slump could be due to declining prices for its chips as well as we can demand for its mobile devices the company is expected to report its

final results later this month when he has more from seoul. these are not the final detail the figures for the quarter released by samsung electronics they will be released towards the end of the month but this is limited released as part of its regulatory filing so something it was required to do so what we see is that operating profit for the july to september quarter likely to be down 56 percent so we're looking at $6440000000.00 that is actually above what many analysts had forecast for this quarter and is actually almost 17 percent up on the previous quarter we're also coming off a 2 year boom in the memory chip market which is where some song electronics makes most of its money so why are we seeing this decline of more than 50 percent well a lot of it's being blamed on the u.s.

china trade war. is a major supplier of components to the chinese tech company while away which is now on a u.s. trade blacklist and the trade dispute between south korea and japan is also being blamed because the japanese are place restrictions on the export of some of the key materials that are supplied to the south korean tech companies including samsung e.u. ministers are knocks them back trying to reach agreement on the share of migrants that each member state should take germany france italy and malta last month agreed to a proposal that would automatically distribute migrants rescued from the mediterranean but they need the backing of other e.u. states for the plan to wear well that meeting comes as rescuers continue their search for at least 15 people who are still missing after an overloaded migrant boat capsized near the italian island of lampedusa at least 13 women died some of them pregnant 22 people were rescued the boat had set sail from tuna z.-a nobody on

board was given life jackets more than a 1000 people have died in the mediterranean sea this year. now india says it will allow tourists back into indian administered kashmir prime minister narendra modi earliest scraps the special tama status of the state imposing a curfew in many areas modi also imposed a 2 month travel restriction to the disputed region and response to what his government described as terror threats. prime minister justin trudeau spent canada's final english language election debate fending off attacks from all sides as opposition leaders try to pick up artist today is leading in the polls but it's less popular than he was in 2015 john hendren reports from gatineau in quebec. in a battle for his political life prime minister justin trudeau absorbed withering attacks from both sides justin trudeau only pretends to stand up for canada you know he's

very good at pretending things he can't even remember how many times he put blackface on but in the only english language debate in canada's brief 40 day campaign again and again trudeau took fire 1st from the right mr trudeau you're a phony and your fraud and you do not deserve to govern this country and then from the left the problem is that you said a lot of these things in 2015 so what's it going to take now for canadians to believe that you're actually going to fall through your promises what's it going to take for you to follow through on these commitments because your words are not a good enough say thinks it's not good enough to have better rather reckon mr scheer you bought a pipeline it can't be a climate leader and spend $10.00 to $13000000000.00 more on a project that by itself blows through our carbon budget to be fair it was reminiscent of to those charismatic debut on the political scene in a celebrity boxing match as in that fight he struck back 1st to the people's party candidate who was accused of tweeting bigotry all your rowers at age 9 this is b.s.

a say publicly what mr share things privately and then directly to his closest rival conservative party leader andrew scheer who arrived to mock in chants of. that is a reference to his recently revealed dual canadian and us citizenship and your plan is to rip up the only serious plan to fight climate change than it has ever had right in 80 and i'm going to hire you as well mr xi or has vowed to in. trudeau's carbon tax which he calls too expensive polls give only. a realistic chance of winning a mandate in the october 21st election but the other candidates could become kingmakers analysts expect the liberal party to lose seats possibly even its majority and that would leave each side scrambling to form a coalition with enough votes to control parliament and the prime ministership in the end political analysts say the campaign is

a referendum on trudeau's tenure at the question is do we want to continue. with our we want to go back to the previous government no i had a. time one of the time we are really contentious field vying for position just 2 weeks from election day none of the contenders seemed to want to leave a crossword unspoken john hendren. now former colombian president alvaro uribe is expected to appear in front of the country's supreme court on tuesday on criminal charges he is accused of trying to bribe witnesses who say he was behind the creation of death squads in the 1990 s. and asunder m.p.'s he reports from. when they won the presidential election as an outsider in 2002 many believed colombia was falling apart. fights rebel group was stronger than ever by alliance in kidnappings were daily occurrences making the

statistics i think are long history with the armed conflict as inoculated us to some of the human dimensions and consequences of the conflict great people don't care if some human rights are trampled in the process doubts about a devious methods go back to the beginning of his career as he was accused of connections with drug cartels including probably the escobar and being the mastermind behind the. relation of blood tears through paramilitary groups yet despite the hundreds of investigations he has never been charged until now. he remains popular in a secretive society in this his particular him his party still his 30 percent of the vote and is an institutional fear to touch up with the president is his man secondly these investigations haven't processed until now various witnesses in paramilitary trials have been killed in investigations but for one reason or another and since leaving office he has remained popular in the vice of equally
