not a phrase very similar to that used to buy the president an hour earlier unfortunately he would be testifying before a totally compromised kangaroo court treated president trump where republicans rights have been taken away and true facts are not allowed out for the public to see republican members of the house committees insist democrats have been selective in what evidence to make public particularly of that provided last week by u.s. representative to ukraine could focus which made clear u.s. diplomats had been discussing the preconditions for a meeting between president trump and his ukraine counterpart this has to be a fair process and when you have a press release being drafted by our democrat colleagues cheery picking text messages when the full text of ambassador bowker's testimony last week would have exonerated this president let's release it ambassador sunderland was mentioned

repeatedly in the testimony made public his text and emails indicating he was in direct communication with the white house throughout the discussions about ukraine his evidence is regarded this critical in terms of understanding the motive behind the trumpet ministrations engagement with the president of ukraine and the house committees are insistent he must testify a formal subpoena has now been issued calling on ambassador sunderland to appear with all these documents mike hanna. sirrah washington. and staying in the us the senate intelligence committee has found that russia was behind a social media this information campaign designed to influence the 2016 presidential election the committee report outlines how social media platforms were used to sow division and spread fake news to help get donald trump elected intelligence chiefs traced the accounts to the internet research agency that's

turkish heavy weapons same across the syrian border towards the town of tilapia. the mainly kurdish syrian democratic forces or s.d.s. defeated i saw here in 2050 with the help of u.s. led coalition forces. the turkish government describes the main fighting force of the s.d.f. as a terrorist organization linked to its outlawed kurdistan workers' party which has fought against the turkish government for decades p.s.t.'s control around 430 kilometers of syrian territory along the turkish border. they have fought and worked alongside the u.s. troops for years they say u.s. presidents don't trump's decision to withdraw the nearly 1000 american soldiers is a stab in the back one that gives turkey an opportunity to attack that key at how they said threats made by turkey to attack the area is not something new they have consistently done it for years we as syrian democratic forces take the

matter into account and are fully prepared to fiercely respond to any imminent attack on syrian soil. turkey's government says it wants to create what it describes as a safety zone of around 30 kilometers in the site syria so around 2000000 of the 3600000 syrian refugees in turkey can return. what you're looking at there is a turkish artillery position now locals tell us that the army came a couple of weeks ago to set that position up meanwhile across the border s.t.'s forces are saying any military operation by turkey could risk the global fight against leisel there are thousands of eisel fighters in s.t.'s jails the us president donald trump says turkey must bear complete responsibility for any eisel fight is that a scape during a military operation turkey has so far offered no clear plan about how to deal with

thousands of child are still fighters on the syrian side of the border towns like to lobby out people who have already suffered years of war are afraid and says. more in ops people will be displaced. if you ask anyone saying be a not leaving but eventually we will be displaced. the prospect of more suffering for the people of northern syria is very real the turkish army says preparations for a potential military operation are complete. that al-jazeera on the turkish syrian border. president trump is insisting that is not abandoned the kurdish fighters who've been loyal to the united states and in an apparent softening of tone he praised turkey as a trade partner and invited his counterpart on to the white house next month is our white house correspondent. what we do know is there's been a real shift in tone with regard to the u.s.

president his relationship with turkey i mean just 24 hours ago the u.s. president was promising on twitter to obliterate turkey's economy if it did anything that was not consistent with the u.s. wishes now the u.s. president on tuesday morning promising a very strong relationship with turkey saying things and reminding perhaps u.s. voters particularly that turkey is an important trading partner that there is an important value to the nato relationship that the 2 share and that there is a partnership when it comes to the collaboration of the building of the f. $35.00 fighter jet that the u.s. of course is very fond of now in the midst of all of this the u.s. president is also saying that he will not in any way abandon the kurdish fighters that the u.s. has been fighting alongside to defeat eisel in recent years but i can still tell you that the shift in syria strategy of the u.s. president that was announced late on sunday evening is not sitting well with even

members of his own republican party one of the latest senator marco rubio who has called the president's stance morally repugnant and a stain on the nation's reputation even as the president touts the benefits of the relationship with turkey in the united states there is considerable concern about turkey's actions into northern into the northeast region of syria and how that could affect the can the kurdish people particularly the kurdish fighters that have been so loyal to the united states. we've got a lot to come here in. the u.s. is iraq's prime minister to exercise maximum restraint after the death of more than a 100 people in the recent demonstrations. and south korea on high alert for a possible biological threat coming across the border from the north.

they want reforms to be implemented immediately now there's a low in the protest but how long that last really depends on the protestors and what they feel the demands of being the center iraq on al-jazeera baghdad the u.s. secretary of state might home pay who has a prime minister to exercise maximum restraint and address the protests as grievances has more now from washington. the statement about the iraqi protests from the u.s. state department is the 1st official comment from washington about these demonstrations it's a readout of the phone call which the secretary of state mike pompei o had with the iraqi prime minister and it's pretty tough in the statement pompei o apparently told the prime minister that he condemned the violence that those who may have committed human rights violations need to be helpfully accountable for their behavior and that the iraqi government needs to do much more to address the

complaints and concerns of the protesters from baghdad to nasiriya to other parts across iraq the statement says that the government needs to do a much better job of respecting people's right to protest as well as the right of the press to carry out their work and mr pompei o said that much more needs to be done to provide iraqis and especially young population more access to jobs to more reliable utilities and food and to basically make it so that it's a place where they want to continue to live and not simply see their country go the way of others that have concentrated power in the hands of a very few. in yemen there are fears that a massive pile of garbage across the capital streets could lead to another color outbreak rubbish hasn't been collected because of a severe feel shortage the health is who controls and i'll say there haven't been

any shipments of fuel or other basic necessities despite the withdrawal of their fighters from the key port of her data mohamed el reports now from. her son ali collects plastic bottles from this pile of garbage and sana'a has a lot to choose from because a shortage of fuel means the city's garbage is not being moved out to landfill else this has become the only way for others to survive. and been. we're happy that this place has become the main garbage collection center we sell plastics for 3 years dollars but it hardly covers the needs of our family. many of the city's garbage trucks are part of this deposit in the capital the man in charge of operations here says at least 2 tons of garbage are piling up every day is appealing to the international community. will consume really

300000 liters of diesel a month even in the current crisis we won't be able to deliver our services to the community if the crisis persists trucks on low the garbage him at this makeshift collection center this is our 1st initiative to cut down consumption a few. health experts are warning of a president by a mental crisis that could trigger another cholera outbreak the recent one you know that at least 3000 people. call an international health officials warn this fuel and garbage crisis could hamper their thoughts to eradicate cholera so far at least $100.00 yemenis have died from the water borne disease this year. good enough heroes are so how we get out of current fuel crisis is likely to undermine our efforts to lower the case of cholera and other epidemics the spread of garbage and sewage water of the main reasons behind the spread of such diseases

harmless to humans but the government in seoul says it's struggling to get information from pyongyang plain hey reports. south korea is on high alert for a possible threat coming across the border from north korea this time it's not a military threat but a biological one in the form of african swine fever and it may be an impossible one to defend against because of the 250 kilometer long demilitarized zone that separates the 2 countries. we can't control the spread of the virus from other countries like china airports or seaports however we have little information about north korea i mean it's a relief that there is no exchange of people or goods but even if the south becomes free of the virus we will always continue to have a big headache. the south koreans aren't sure where the virus came from but the 1st case was reported in north korea in may intelligence reports suggest it's now spread around much of the reclusive country last month south korea reported its 1st

case prompting the government to begin culling pigs on farms in the area vehicles coming in going from places where the disease has been found or being sprayed with chemicals to prevent it spreading further. proving that the virus came across the border from north korea will be difficult if not impossible obviously there is no human or vehicle traffic through this area but there is animal traffic and last week the body of a dead wild boar tested positive for the disease. elsewhere evidence of what south korea is trying to avoid china the world's largest poor producer has seen almost $200000000.00 pigs killed or culled and its production is forecast to be down by 25 percent this year the virus is now being found in around 50 countries and is wiped out more than a quarter of the world's pig population to help them fight the outbreak the south koreans have been trying to get more information from the north. unloaded and as we

have mentioned previously we have informed the north of the operator of the s f in the south and also proposed to corporate on quarantine efforts but they've had no response in the meantime there are intensifying their battle against african swine fever but they know there's nothing they can do about what's going on in north korea wayne hay al-jazeera tongue while island south korea. now the european council president warned the british prime minister said boris johnson not to play games as the deadline for bret's it inches ever closer meanwhile in the media in britain is being reported that the german chancellor angela merkel made it clear in a telephone call that a deal is overwhelmingly unlikely this is a frank exchange according to those media reports between angola merkel and boris johnson a report from lawrence the in london. by the time boris johnson's cabinets arrived

for their morning meeting westminster was awash with the news that downing street had decided to play hardball with the european union. probably they haven't even been briefed on the suggestion of the u.k. looked like readying itself to collapse the talks on a compromise deal but that does appear to be the suggestion so just with the delaying of disruptive and annoying tactics of the opposition we say on behalf of the 17400000 enough enough enough we need to leave. downing street then brief that the german chancellor had demanded that the economy of northern ireland stay in the news although it's putting the last nail in the coffin but the e.u. insisted the talks were not yet that technical talks are continuing to date so i don't see how talks could have actually been broken down if they are happening today and in the days to continue there is no denying the loss of faith the president of the european council donald tusk tweeted this boris johnson what's

at stake is not winning some stupid blame game at stake is the future of europe and the u.k. as well as the security and interests of our people you don't want to deal you don't want an extension you don't want to revoke. which is latin for where are you going. with parliament suspended from wednesday opposition parties now assume johnston will call an election next week after accepting a breakfast extension as demanded by parliament and then campaigning to leave the e.u. with no deal by getting them to then offer the extension perhaps on the 17th of october on the 18th of october when european council meets he would then be able to say to parliament and to jeremy corbyn in particular i've got beat. my general election now and i think in those circumstances jeremy called would be highly likely to say yes the blame game between london and brussels mirrors the entire debate there's precious little left except bad blood certainly the european union never really

thought that boris johnson administration was actually interested in the deal because his proposed compromise over what happens in northern ireland is so complicated and convoluted the e.u. thinks it was basically set up to fail if he's assume though that if boris johnson asks them for an extension to break seats they will grant states if only as a last chance hope that a different government might be elected in a national election which could save the u.k. and the e.u. from a no deal bricks it barnsley al-jazeera in london. all right taking over the top stories here and out as air this morning and overnight curfew has been imposed in ecuador in areas close to the government buildings this fall is thousands of protesters clashing with security forces in the capital during a sick day of demonstrations many are angry about economic reforms. in
