because we have heard from before that he wants to finish the mission that he started with what would be the judgment that the job is done is it that that space that he wants is it being able to return the refugees is it being able to secure that area at what point does he say this job is finished. it's not going to be an easy mission anyway because the 1st stage for him is actually to push the cedar democratic forces like 50 kilometers deep into syrian territories and his 2nd stage actually is to have this saves on established and fees actually is to have more than $2000000.00 syrian refugees resettled in this and this so it's not going to be something easy because as you said i mean there are so many players that americans are changing their position and from today i mean from one day to another out the russians are there they are there the syrian regime and all these parties are actually having having a say in this whole issue so it's not going to be easy for the achieve their

objectives they would be they would be trying actually to do that but it's not going to be easy for them now and thank you so much for that analysis and as mom was speaking we're looking at live pictures coming in from a now this is one of the critical areas along that border is one of the years of course that turkey has seemed to be able to control and try to impose that zone that it wants to be posed to be able to return refugees to the area you can see smoke in the there are indications of fighting that is under way at the moment now as we've just been discussing real concern over the potential for a direct conflict between syrian government forces and turkish government forces as well and russia absolutely critical to that in its ability to keep the sides apart and be also able to negotiate that deal at the moment between the syrian government and the kurdish forces giving control of man bridge to syria those pictures there. where regime detention of. fighting underway at the mine well plenty more ahead on

any agreement must work for anyone who already of the united kingdom. full of do it european union let me add or should i time. to turn good intentions in the legal text lawrence lee is standing by for us in london we're going to speak to him shortly will 1st go to the trash about in paris and the tasha there is this expression of optimism from bonnie i but of course it is optimism that is very much couched in the reality that they still may not happen by october 31. yes michel barnier the chief negotiator is only sounding a lot more to mistake than he has in recent days or weeks and this comes after a few days of very intense negotiation between u.k.

and officials as they try to come up with a revised deal before that summit that you summit on thursday which is seen as a bit of a deadline for any sort of revised agreement for the u.k. now bonnie saying that what he's saying is a real willingness to come up with a deal but he says as you heard there in that little clip of him that those good intentions really need to be transformed into some legal text now whether or not that means it could be done in time for the summit on thursday is unclear i mean he seems to say there is a possibility because what he has said according to some you've officials is there really are 3 outcomes here either there is some form of agreement that can be signed off by the on thursday or the talks just simply break down or we start talking about a possible extension that an agreement would be ready in time for thursday but perhaps the u.k. would ask for an extension perhaps the e.u. would grant one so those are really the scenarios he's saying and we should learn

a little bit more on which one it will be by the end of tuesday because michelle bond is meant to brief e.u. foreign ministers and officials in luxembourg about exactly where he sees these negotiations going will it be ready in time for the day will we be looking at another one of these scenarios which i thank you for that we're going to go live to lawrence lee in london now for the latest from there just listening to the tension there lawrence in this retention all outcomes there all are the be in agreement to a breakdown or an extension it's been if a vast despite bars johnson still talking up the possibility of some deal or just an exit by october 31. yeah and just to pursue that the point that the tosh was making that the problem really for the u.k. side is the insistence seemingly from the europeans that the north not or she called me stays in the european union and the customs border goes down the irish sea and that's absolutely no good for sections of the conservative party or some politicians in north not and so the speculation here is well what is boris johnson do if you get through the end of this week and there is no suggestion of

a deal it'll john ryan from the school of economics to think to think for said 1st of all there is any chance of success in brussels it's going to be very difficult because we know that johnson has had a meeting last night with the g u p and they were deeply unhappy about some elements of the proposed deal and that's going to always be a drag on any completion of the deal that's happening at the moment and i think that you know we're hearing from many european union. speakers that they're not really getting anywhere fast here and they need to have these good intentions that are being expounded by the british government in a sort of legal form yeah and the legal form partly because the europeans don't really trust boris johnson very much to the west the way that they negotiate they need something down on paper that would be legally binding and you may be right to say that they would prefer to have something in writing rather than boris johnson's words and you think there's

a sense that some of the hardliners in the conservative policy who are actually developments it's as awesome to have a real twitch and thinking well we might need to capitulate to bits on what we're demanding because if we don't get it through at this point just might never happen until there is that view among some of them but some of them will stick by the d.p. if they are unhappy about some of the proposals because they would question whether the the union would survive and he kind of deals i think so if then he can't win any further vote through the commons what do you think happens if the after the extension how could you know this could go on but if the more extensions there are the more that we stay in the more. likelihood there could be a new referendum and there is a lot of discussion over not placed by people who are skeptical about that procedure coming to a conclusion that the parliament can't solve this the government can't solve this that people might have done of that and that would be a referendum but based on that stretches when staying in the european union or no deal it's all that one if we did get some kind of embryonic deal but you know you

have to think about it this deal is probably going to be worse than the deal for those people in mind still and so you know the logic there is not really there richo because they'd be voting for something see even worse than the ones deal john thank you very much as ever stand with with all these things to do with rex it's that that that the problem for the conservative policy is their lack of ability to define what they actually mean by breck's it's 70 and separate stations of what they think it is and based on that they can get a majority and that isn't really very many of us to think that there might be no choice but to have yet another referendum and put it back to the people is as john just been saying lawrence thank you so much for that lawrence ladies joining us live there from london well south africa's former president jacob zuma has appeared in court facing 16 charges of corruption but the case has now been adjourned until next year zuma is accused of taking $267000.00 in bribes from a french alms manufacturer the charges relate to a $2000000000.00 deal during the $990.00 s.

while zuma was deputy president he denies any wrongdoing from it and has the latest now from pietermaritzburg. outside the court with former president jacob zuma appeared on corruption charges a small but vocal group of supporters have gathered to hear zuma speak they say they're here to shame support him when he is surrounded by a number of allegations of corruption graft and money laundering people here say that he is is not guilty of any wrongdoing that's the same that he said in the months preceding this now it's likely that zumo will use the this adjournment of the court to appeal against a court judgment that said he should stand trial zuma maintains that the charges against him ability motivated all that it's not likely that they are the grounds for him to for there to be a successful prosecution and also that this case against him is prejudiced but the

court had said that these charges are true on portman's too important rather to all our little case only trapped in osama does have another month or so to make that appeal he's expected to be back in court next year towards the beginning of the year 1 until then zuma is speaking to people like this outside the court asking for their support maintaining his innocence. at least 5 people have been killed in anti government demonstrations in guinea this widespread anger at a proposed change to the constitution which would allow president alpha kondo to run for a 3rd term nicolas hike reports now from the capital. gunfire in downtown conakry. frightened residents have locked himself indoors taking cover from guinea's paramilitary forces who are shooting live rounds in the streets what was supposed to be in the nation wide protest against president alpha condé has

you're watching al-jazeera here's a reminder about top stories this hour a small you know. of syrian government soldiers is now inside the northeastern city of man because turkey says one of its soldiers was killed in an attack near the city russia says it's working to prevent any direct confrontation the u.n. human rights office is calling on turkey to conduct independent investigations in to possible war crimes related to its offensive in syria saying it's gathering information about summary executions shown in videos the humanitarian cost of turkey's military operation is already being felt unicef estimates 17000 children have been displaced in just a week of fighting tens of thousands of people fleeing the violence of needed food aid some of the people fleeing the violence are heading to iraq semi autonomous kurdish region bernard smith is there and has this exclusive report from the hook.

by tuesday morning another 270 refugees across an informal crossing from syria into iraq it brings it to less than about 500 overnight that is a trickle. could become a flood and the biggest concern they have is whether there are i saw members supporters or sympathizers among those refugees and how they can filter them out. of them just a few packs of essential all this family could carry as they ran from the fighting in northeastern syria there amongst the 1st to make it across the border into the kurdish government north of iraq. there was shelling and fighting this man says my family hasn't slept for days we've left everything behind them. almost 200 syrians were bussed into a refugee camp in a monday afternoon. the biggest concern for the kurdish authorities is who exactly is crossing the border eisel fighters or supporters mingled with the innocent

officials cross reference names to make sure those who got on the bus at the border stayed on for the 90 minute journey here a local intelligence officer takes a photo of the tally i think it's going to be interesting to see who is coming in the next days and what the authorities will do to filter of this population coming in certainly there's going to be checks done to make sure they arrive generally and people are taking care of. everyone we spoke to share their shock at the overnight switch from living peacefully to being. little stuff america has let us down i didn't imagine that they would destroy the people in our future used to like america but now i hate it i'm here do you plan these syrians will join the already more than $1000000.00 internally displaced persons and refugees being hosted in the kurdistan region of iraq and depending on how long turkey is military

campaign goes on for the kurdistan regional government the k r g estimates that anything between 30000 up to as many as a quarter of a 1000000 syrians will flee the fighting here into the k r g. this syrian refugee camp has been here more than 7 years the tents along gone up children are growing up here people are putting down roots and now this small town is about to get bigger. burnet smith al-jazeera is refugee camp in northern iraq. rudi giuliani donor transpersonal lawyer is expected to hand over ukraine related documents to the impeachment inquiry tuesday's deadline to produce the documents also extends to vice president mike pence now on monday the inquiry heard from the white house's former russia exploded fiona hill who resigned days before trump ukraine's president to investigate joe biden and his son karen

greenberg is director of the center on national security at fordham law school she joins us from doha terence nice to have you with us rudy giuliani has been central to all of this what are you expecting when we see these documents handed over to the inquiry. well 1st of all we have to see that the documents get handed over if they do get handed over it should give us a much more information about what he actually was trying to do who else was involved in what he was trying to do who he was trying to do in and around and around and around i mean one of the things that's come out of the fiona hill testimony it's been reported is that he was conducting shadow diplomacy on behalf not of the united states but the president himself and so and and in anticipation of the coming election and so this is the kind of thing that they are hoping for in

these documents so wealthy you mention fiona hill we can also add john bolton to this of those who were concerned about what was playing out he is the only hero of course left before that phone call but she cautioned against it looking it at her testimony and why. we've been hearing thus far what is it revealing about the you know workings of the trump white house around this issue. well that's actually one of the more interesting thing that's coming out and that's that's somewhat new which is if there was a concern about a pushback particularly at some higher levels about what was going on in ukraine and this in so many stories that have come out of the white house where we've been wondering is there any kind of pushback who's pushing back how high does that push back instead we've seen resignations and silence now really actually seeing that there was an attempt to stop whatever it was that was going on and in the next coming days you're going to see

a number of people from the department of state another individual from the department of defense testify and we'll see just how deep that attempt to stuff what was going on at the hands of what looks like we gianni and see how that plays out and carries one thing for donald trump to say as he has that this is an attempted to buy the democrats that it's a democrat witch hunt but we're not talking about democrats you we're talking about people who were serving here at that time who raising these concerns but i'm just wondering how it plays out politically to donald trump's what do they see when they hear all this. well that's a very good question and i would think that some of it they are going to repeal and you see this already that they're repeating the notion of the witch hunt but talking about a witch hunt about something that went on in the past and talking about a witch hunt about something that is about to go on that's coming in the future namely the 2020 alexion is a different thing there are

a number of people in the base who may not stay on board and that so all of this is being looked at through the lens how this will play out for individual candidates in the 2020 a lecture so i think we're at a potential tipping point and it will see. the where this all winds up and where its financial backers lined up where his base in terms of population and vote lines are and where his own administration line up and if and that's what we're seeing now is everything seems a little more fragile a little more and balanced and the energy which is being pushed into this in in these hearings is quite intense and it's just one person after another done in a very clean fashion in terms of names representations and the kinds of statements that are be given out so there's a lot of amendment up momentum on the part of these 3 committees in the house and that's going to captivate the narrative for

a long time and it's and so the real question is how about play out in terms of funders for the republicans and in terms of the voters as well karen greenberg nice to have your analysis on the program thank you again for joining us. in the u.s. democrats and republicans will battle for support in the midwest which is important to winning the white house next year in 30 of the past 32 elections the candidate who won you know heigho won the presidency that includes donald trump now this is one of the state was chosen for the democrats for the candidates debate john hendren explains what's at stake. for democrats it's a showdown in the american heartland the 4th presidential debate analysts say a contest between the democratic party's extremes i believe it will be a face off as we are looking at public opinion polls we're saying they're essentially tied and it's looking more and more like a race between biden the more. on one end of the party spectrum the establishment

candidate former vice president joe biden on the other the progressive massachusetts senator and the new front runner elizabeth warren. who do you like i like biden and one because i think he'll settle things down and get things on an even keel here work with the other side get things done and i think elizabeth warren can beat him i do i think because she always is on point she has plans she has you know policy she does exist get up there and get into like argument with them but with a dozen candidates spanning the same stage it's also the largest debate yet one that offers the prospect of a breakout moment for any of them are you forgetting what you said to magically and for. me what you said just 2 minutes ago it will be the site of many firsts the 1st debate since impeachment proceedings for president trump and every candidate on the day as wants him impeached but there are many many of us up stairs right now making signs to support donald trump tomorrow for bernie sanders the 1st

debate since he was sidelined by a heart attack for joe biden the man with the most to lose the 1st debate since president trump asked ukraine to investigate him for elizabeth warren the 1st debate since surging polls have made her the front runner in this race for the democratic party picked ohio for good reason it's known as the bellwether state in 30 of the 32 past elections the candidate who won here won the presidency the latest was donald trump this time the democrats want to deny him this trendsetting state. for 2nd tier candidates this is a chance to rise to the top tier in post-debate polls it's going to narrow it's already been growing. so we'll see how many call it quits qualifying for the next round will be harder so for the other candidates failing to gain traction here could make ohio the end of the campaign trail john hendren zeroes westerville ohio

. well voting is underway in mozambique's general election that could see the governing from party extend its decades long rule the vote is taking place 2 months after the signing of a peace deal with longtime rival the opposition renumber party president felipe and you see is seeking a 2nd term but he faces a strong challenge from the now most of. the 2 sides for for 16 years in a conflict that killed nearly a 1000000 people malcolm web is going to join us live now from some much riding on this of course that that peace deal but also ongoing concerns about potential spike in violence as well. that's right where we are at a polling station in mozambique's councilman could say where people been lining up throughout the day some of them waiting for as long as 3 or 4 hours voting has been peaceful and we've seen scenes like this across most of the country except for the handful of polling stations didn't open in delgado province where the government's

fighting an insurgency the president new c. is seeking a 2nd term one of the things that was. blighted some of the members of his party in the 1st term was a $2000000000.00 loan scandal a corruption scandal which actually began under the previous president but started to unravel just within the last 5 years now with me i have a former member of parliament from the party and a lifelong 40 i'm going to come out the $2000000000.00 loans hidden loan scandal how do you think that will be affecting support in this election well it will affect 'd definitely being largest scandal. but could be worse if the president. didn't. take him to justice. will be an evolved so i think it was a very positive action by the government taking their. to justice so ringback

it was. a last big problem a lot of commentators say this time for limos facing the biggest challenge that is ever had from the opposition. and also from the m.d.m. passengers is seems his popularity seems to be growing do you think can still pull it off in this election well definitely i think. discover what besides the scandal would have the boy caught from the international community which usually supports the budget in 40 percent. of the 'd level of the scandal all the committee suspend a contribution to our budget and the government managed to go through the mandate 5 years ringback without that support and the time to function normally so this is very huge credit for the 1st time this country by all.

means thank you very much i'm going to come out former member of parliament in lifelong member of the really my party here in mozambique bank here in doha malcolm thank you for that now what's billed as the largest defense industry trade show in northeast asia has just opened in seoul south korea has announced its biggest increase in military spending for 10 years with much of the region seemingly embarked on an arms race bride has more. the latest in military hardware and the perfect stage for south korea to showcase its new big ticket items. unveiled to the public for the 1st time its new fighter the k f x its most ambitious defense project to date. and the even more sophisticated f. 35 lightning purchased from the u.s. i think we've seen a lot of interest in the f.

35 so beyond that i mean that's very good for our business of course by think it's very good for the security of the region south korea's liberal president moon j.n. is overseeing this expansion even as he pursues his policy of reconciliation with north korea which continues to develop its nuclear arsenal. this is the negative outcome of the current administration south korea has already said peace has arrived but this puts south korea in an illogical position because unless north korea denuclearize as they can't be peace on the peninsula north korea has blamed south korea's military buildup in part for its testing of more sophisticated missiles in recent months.
