and stan grant live from doha with the news hour as you've just heard turkey's president tire heard one insists the military operation in syria will continue until his country's objectives have been achieved he was just making to his government he reiterated that he is not against the syrian people but against what he calls violent forces in the region now his comments come as u.s. vice president mike pence along with the delegation is making his way to ankara he'll be seeking an immediate cease fire as international condemnation against the offensive grows for sin and cos he is live for us in istanbul we're going to speak to her shortly in just about what what president one had to say we're going to go 1st to charles stratford in chelan on the turkish side of the border and charles we were just hearing there from president earlier one about his objectives and saying

he will not finish until he is achieved those objectives give us a sense of how that's being achieved on the ground toward extend into turkey meeting those objectives. well certainly where we're standing here branch of the town of russell ion across the border those objectives in terms of clearing out kurdish fighters that he describes as terrorist from that area seems to be proving a big challenge this being some very heavy fighting. in that town today a lot of heavy weapons we can hear being used we hear in jets overhead a lot of artillery a lot of artillery fire as well now this town has been contested since day one and repeatedly victory has been declared by both sides so obviously a huge challenge here that would suggest we understand certainly according to the military that they've made it they're claiming to have made gains pushing south

southwest from the town of tel aviv out which the force used to control over a few days ago we also on the stand again according to the military that they say that they've made small gains close to here but southwest but this town russell laine certainly as a say a lot of heavy fighting and interestedly a lot of heavy fighting very close to the border as well it's not like it's you know a mile to 2 miles 3 kilometers or so behind it's literally right on the border so it seems as if as you have foresees very much well dug in there putting up stiff resistance and charles of course there is a lot of diplomacy around this a lot of pressure mounting on tookie as well we know the vice president mike pence is heading to the region for discussions around a potential cease fire but just listening to what president one had to say and the digging in and define just talk us through some of this pressure that's building around turkey and some of the diplomacy. oh yeah there has been

a huge international outcry against and this operation. obviously the u.s. rushing sanctions slapping sanctions on ministers and ministries as you say vice president mike pence on his way heading a delegation with the secretary of state he will be included in that delegation by pompei we know according to the russians and least they're trying to talk they're talking to all sides at the moment that the syrians and the. and the u.s. doing all they can to try and avoid any kind of confrontation between at least the the syrian army and the turkish army as we heard president or the one say that he said that this is not a fight against syria he respects the territorial integrity and sovereignty of syria but he wants what he describes as these terrorist forces the kurds that work for so long with coalition forces in the battle against the law so he wants them

out and you've got to ask the question what does moscow what does president assad what are the plans that they have for the when the dust settles there's no sign yet that the kurds are in any way retreating that saying we are putting up as much of a fight as they can they see this is being their historical land and a place of their origins so it begs to question if indeed turkey does get what it wants and the s.d.f. are forced to retreat and accept that then what happens to the kurds then lots of unanswered questions militarily diplomatically politically and even with respect to the history of the people that have lived in this region for centuries many questions details thank you so much for that now at that meeting with members of these ruling party just as you saw a short time ago president richard typos are one reiterated that he made the right decision he says regarding the military offensive into northern syria.

but it will no doubt it into a key we haven't come to this point suddenly starting this operation after a struggle against the. this is being a 40 year history and also within syria has an 8 year history in the last 40 years tens of thousands of people have lost their lives and it's cost us hundreds of millions to our country country under any circumstances always delivers its responsibilities as allies but despite this our allies are saying one thing to our face and doing another thing behind our back and this is undeniably clear now despite all this turkey's attitude is always with peace and happiness let's go now to sin and cos you're going to live in istanbul as we just heard this in him that really strong law and from president he says that night oh allies are saying one thing to his face and then doing something behind his back this was a speech very much addressed to turkish people wasn't it rallying them behind this

incursion and and reminding defied. well yes his speech was mostly targeting the domestic old dusun his his party base actually but we had some international messages to do related parties 1st i have to emphasize that his message about these sanctions against the turkish officials u.s. has been threatening turkey that if turkey doesn't stop this operation turkey would be sanctioned and white house announced 2 days ago that to turkish current government officials and former government officials and parties who contributed on turkey's so called the so this stumble ization in syria would essentially that's why he said so what happens he challenged the u.s. he said what happens if i don't go to those countries or my cabinet or my family don't go to these countries what's going to happen this is politics you don't act with emotions that's what he said he he tried to give a macit to the the mastic audience that he's not afraid of and

a sanctions and it's will not affect his country but on the other hand why i could say the different things because turkish especially the turkish national currency the euro has been very fragile against the dollar for dollar last one a one year and it has shown this fragility the sensitivity during these. spats between washington and ancora going also accused around leak mainly accuse some form of for not showing the necessary support to the syrians and also for not financially contributing to this case mainly accuse everyone and he believes the western societies the e.u. and the united states into also the erotic have been biased and in a way he put out in their approach to turkey this is a legitimate fight for turkey turkey is turkey is conducting this military operation against the group that turkey calls a terrorist organization also the u.s.

and the e.u. calls the p.k. cares a terrorist organization. one thing is important for the last 3 days we have been discussing the military situation on the ground about the lobby out there and how the regime is underground whether the regime is going to take over this possible safe zone so many things but he said that troop is the choice i meant to establish the safe zone on this 420 kilometers borders the border in turkey south beginning from the mid to the iraqi border so he said that this is that we're not going to give up on this on this target to have the safe zone and he again repeated that u.s. president donald trump mentioned 20 miles which is 30 kilometers as a that's safe zone so it seems out on doesn't want to give up the spy it's u.s. president donald trump has been calling for possible sanctions against turkey. yes

that misused was very much one of defiance and as you say for his party by his domestic audience but the result international pressure and he's going to be sitting down with the worst president the u.s. vice president by pence in u.s. is calling for a cease fire what is going to be his message in that meeting and the message to the international community where the person is coming from. well this he had the important lines about that as well he said that we don't need you know turkey tried to make a peace process with the output could be some workers parts of p.k. k. back in early 2010 and when the turkish intelligence conduct the talks with the slogan is a ship in old slow the p.k. k. leaked the voice recordings of those messages it was a 4 to 7 minute long voice recording of the turkish officials negotiating with the p.k. k. and that was a time when this peace process was. both kurdistan workers far apart and finally at the end of 2015 beginning of 2006 in the peace process still to fail then turkey

conducted counter picket kilt racialism turkey's south this than region so he said that i'm talking from the experience no one is going to bring us bring us around the table with a terrorist organization he said no one should but it should be made thing so whoever is trying to make a call for this you can't do that where close to this and then he said that if you're not going to listen to us you don't have to come so so he was kind of you know if you're coming to ankara and talk to us you have to understand us so he was very clear about that as well said and thank you so much for those who are staying with turkey with the u.s. justice department now has filed criminal charges against a major state owned turkish bank prosecutors accuse hope bank of being at the center of the scheme which helped iran avoid sanctions they say gold was bored with iranian oil and gas profits which was then sold for cash in dubai this then i believe iran to buy goods and services because companies didn't know who the cash

originally came from terra nearly $1000000000.00 was reportedly low and good in that scheme. well for more on this now we'll bring in his ear is economics editor a lot of you to join us just before we get into the detail of what these charges are the time is really interesting isn't it because while this is about iran and breaking sanctions against iran the timing given what's happening in syria does that create a connection is part of that ongoing pressure against turkey that we're seeing right now yes so u.s. officials are quite concerned that you know people think that this has just been trumped up right now and as for this particular case but this case goes back 220162016. who was a gold trader he's a free rein in turkish origin he was arrested at miami airport on the way to disneyland with his family now at the time they they they arrested him for because they were they thought he was the center of this conspiracy to basically avoid

sanctions. but. he employed our he hired a rudy giuliani to basically see if we could get him off the charges and giuliani basically went away to see whether he could exchange a pastor which was held in the in turkey at the time in exchange for but that didn't come to fruition and then sour basically pled guilty and he helped us to basically convict another person who was an executive at how can bank and he was sentenced for 32 months and he was just released earlier this year and this of course is despite conversations that have been going on between president and one of president trouble president and one has been urging the u.s. and urging trump not to pursue this absolutely so so the fact is that you know these sanctions and the impact of of this on the turkish coming will probably be very minimal right now because turkey's been through

a lot of storms and money created by by the u.s. president last time he put in sanctions on the. country but before that we had the crisis with russia when they shot down a russian jet and so there has been a huge impact on each case and but this time they seem to be a little bit more resilience in the markets for this kind of event with same today that you know the shares but share price of. bank has come down 7 percent and has recovered slightly and we're seeing a shortage of our firm. in the international markets so this is a concerted effort by the to basically limit the damage from this particular event that's the damage economically but this is being described as one of the worst violations of iran sanctions and as this investigation between us and now these charges have been laid is there the prospect of of turkish officials high ranking to officials being implicated further in that very much could be the case because

as arab in his testimony he said you know officials high ranking officials based in iran and turkey were involved in this particular in this particular scheme now we have to remember that the united states have brought cases against 15 other european banks over the last few years and they have paid cumulative fines of $20000000000.00 the last 2 cases were standard chartered in april and you need both of those companies paid between 1000000000 to 1300000000 so the cost of what health bank will have to pay we just don't know at this present moment but seeing that you know we're talking about billions of dollars in a lot of money that could be the sum total of their find of it good to have you on the program thanks for walking us through that well last minute break that negotiations are resumed in luxembourg after leaders from the u.k. and the european union worked through the night now they're attempting to reach an agreement that can be discussed at a summit in brussels on thursday the e.u.'s britain we go to the show banias says

obstacles remain between the 2 sides but he says there's still potential for a deal brittany to leave the european union on october 31st paul brennan joins us live now from london where british politicians amazing in parliament give us the view from there about how this seeing these negotiations in the e.u. . it really depends stan on who you talk to and when i mean i spoke to a former conservative minister earlier on this morning who believed that they were edging towards a deal the u.k. and the european union and the irish agriculture minister as well this morning sort of optimistic turns in relation to a deal but other people playing down with the idea that they're going to get a deal in time to be presented to the european summit which is due to take place thursday friday that's essentially tomorrow starting because of the tight timetable of all of this and so the prospects really are up in the air it's

a very fluid situation and joining me to discuss just how difficult it is to to reach a deal is alan wager he's a researcher from the academic think tank you can a changing europe alan 1st of all explain to me the timetable explain to our viewers the timetable why it's so tight so the deadline was last night and now it's probably tonight and that's because a deal needs to be reached by that european council summit on thursday for it then to be agreed at that count summit the heads of terms of that agreement and then bought back see parliament for agreement by saturday to avoid an extension of article 50 to avoid britain staying in the european union beyond that of taber the 31st deadline so that's what's driving all the politics of the negotiations over the last few days a desire to avoid pushing that deadline back the on the table the 31st and the british politicians steve barclay he's the bracks it secretary's been giving evidence to a select committee of m.p.'s this morning and he's still insisting that britain will not stay in the european union beyond october 31st and yet he says that the

prime minister will comply with a thing called the ban act which compels the prime minister to ask the european union for an extension beyond october 31st those 2 seem contradictory and he won't explain it but i think the most important thing that he said was that the government would send out a letter to the european union if it got to the point. on saturday when no deal had been had been reached between the u.k. and the and that was acceptance that the law passed by the house of commons does have real force and that's what that's what the u.k. government is trying to avoid by trying to get this deal at the last minute and talk to me about the probably the biggest sticking issue which is the customs union where would the checks take place since the european union don't believe that they can possibly take place even away from the northern ireland ireland border and so the idea that's been floated is a customs border down the middle of the irish sea but that's something that the prime minister and the powerful d

u p party have rejected previously how thorny is that issue so the prime minister and his predecessor to reason may be do you pay have long been the pivotal m.p.'s that have kept 'd the conservative party in power have said that they wouldn't accept that regulates reboarded between northern ireland and the rest of britain and it's clear that that's going to have to be the space for a deal it is going to take place in the next few days northern automobile a different regulator respect things like collecting v 80 will be done in northern ireland and not to be checks between that is 2 different the 87 is and they'll be different regulate serie a different over time as the u.k. comes to different trade deals with the rest of the world northern ireland will become more and more distant because it would have to be in line with ireland and the rest of the european union so this is the really important sticking point in negotiations because the deep pay the unionist party would have to agree to that different regulating the space in northern ireland and over time. becoming more detached from the european and the u.k.

alan thank you indeed so as you can hear it's not just a matter of principle it's actually the practical reality of how this might work that is proving so difficult to overcome. thank you for that michael mckinley who resigned as a senior advisor to u.s. secretary of state marc composed last week is next in line to be questioned in the presidential impeachment inquiry on tuesday a senior state department official. in charge of ukraine policy testified before the committee george tenet was questioned about his knowledge of trump's if it's to have you crying investigate his political rival joe biden the democrats are accusing the trump administration of stonewalling the inquiry well the head of the house intelligence committee adam schiff says evidence of obstruction of congress continues to mount we are running into what we expected in one aspect and that is a complete effort by the administration to stonewall. today is long past due the day when the state department was subpoenaed to provide documents but

the state department has thus far refused and were it not for the fact that at least some witnesses have given us documents we would not know that there is a paper record of efforts to condition this meeting and perhaps condition military support itself on these political investigations donald trump wanted. well michael isikoff is chief investigative correspondent at yahoo news and told the of russian roulette welcome to the program could be here that you did write the book russian roulette which of course dealt with the so-called russia guys and the moeller inquiry and i'm just wondering if you draw a line from that to what we're seeing here and the impact on donald trump politically does any of this ultimately touching or a fifty's political base well yes and there is a direct line from the russia story to the ukraine scandal going on right now

just go back and look at the transcript of the phone call between president trump and presidents alinsky what is the 1st matter that trump raises after he says i want you to do me a favor he wants it's a linsky to look into supposedly ukrainian interference in there with his vows of course reminds us of attempt to get people through this to get hillary clinton of course and he wants he wants the ukrainians to find the server that was used at the d.n.c. the only purpose of that is because president trump has is still unable to accept the findings of the u.s. intelligence community the u.s. law enforcement community the congress the robert muller investigation that it was the russians who hacked the d.n.c. that's why he's obsessed about this server he thinks somehow that's going to refute all the conclusions of all the agencies that have investigated when he says this is

a witch hunt this is a democrat screw people listening to him yet political bias those who are rusted on are going to vote for him mostly put him in the white house they say yes of course it is look i think the polls are going to be extremely important here as this goes forward we've already seen an increasing number of americans according to the polls who support at least that impeachment inquiry it's now over 50 percent that's a pretty substantial end. crease and it suggests that the tide is turning somewhat against the president whether it's going to be enough to sustain a impeachment and removal we'll just have to wait and see but it's clearly the evidence has been mounting here in pigeon raking the richmond removal is a hobby horse and you talk about the senate and to the right of the horse that could be a step too far but. it is what we're seeing in these hearings right now a really critical development in that it isn't democrats who are raising alarms

here it's people like fiona hill writing work to him he's russia expert it's people like john bolton national security advisor writes the form ambassador to ukraine these are people inside the tent does that shift the narrative somewhat i think somewhat if you remember that the president tried to make this about the whistleblower who's the whistleblower did he have political and political agenda but when you see this parade of witnesses fiona hill. mr kent some of the others i think that shifts it away from the whistleblower and puts it on you know career people who don't have political agendas who are working for the president like the former ambassador who was removed. our voice is now i should be hans i'm right can i just ask you just. about how this plays out with the democrats particularly as we see the debates continue and oversee this unified position on

morning to push ahead with impeachment and these investigations but what effect does it have on joe biden is this some lead in his saddle bag yeah well i think i think it is i think he you know he continues to get asked about his son's service on that board of the company barista while he was serving as the point person for the obama administration i think this clearly has. biden elizabeth warren is now almost universally seen as the front runner in the race where 6 weeks ago 2 months ago biden was so i think it's taking its toll i should just want to make one other point you know we've talked about these hearings remember so far they've all been behind closed doors and i think that that's given the republicans a talking point and at some point schiff is going to have to open up release the transcripts of those depositions and hold public hearings if he wants to make the

case if the democrats want to make the case that impeachment has to take place or pleasure to have you on the program any time. well a few moments we're going to have the weather with rob but still ahead on al-jazeera we beat a family of the center of abuse sections actions against the elderly in australia. on poll recently sweden where the indigenous sami people say that way of life is under threat not just from climate change but from the government solutions to stop it. heading for the world 'd series leader has the actual news washington reached by spalls end of season showing pics. their weekend just gone in japan as you well know was devastating when the typhoon

typhoon had his hitting now the real problem wasn't so much the wind it was always going to be the rain it is seems the amount of rain that fell zeven more were predicted in some places up to a meter and these are pictures from saturday's of course that was at its worst things are slowly improving now but for example that was a picture of the bullet train yard on saturday and this is how it's drained now to the trains have moved to clear up is still going on mechanically and manually but it's not particularly one talking about this i'm looking at what might be coming so far we've had 2 good days of dry sunny weather or about how we get to this hint of a curl of green which is the forecast the rain is on its way back in and it's going up towards tokyo the region is being generated is the cold air coming down from the north is meeting the walls in the sense we're generating our own frontal systems runs back into china admittedly china's already cool down but japan is staying on

the warm side so really it's a case of how much rain is going to be generated and it looks like it could last beyond friday and a good part of the southern half of honshu including that part already flooded. the weather sponsored by i can't out anyway. they say to really know someone you must walk a mile in their shoes. follow in their footsteps as they fall into their way in the was. 0 shares these personal journeys. inspiring stories of people persevering on their chosen path. witnessed documentaries. examining today's headlines their protests like this one that are trying to research and meet forest areas that have been already devastated setting the agenda for tomorrow's

discussion you've been out there with the protesters on the streets where we've been telling you international filmmakers and world class journalists bring programs to inform and spot. on al-jazeera. you're watching al-jazeera here's a reminder of our top stories this hour turkey's president. insists the military operation in syria will continue until these countries objectives have been achieved speaking to his government a short time ago he reiterated that he is not against the syrian people but against

what he calls violent forces in the bridge. last minute breaks that negotiations are a dying on the way off the e.u. and you tell you politicians filed to reach a breakthrough on tuesday night they tried to reach an agreement the 10 be discussed at a summit in brussels on thursday. now returning to our. top story concern grows over eisel prisoners reportedly escaping camps in northern syria france is discussing plans to put them on trial the french foreign minister says he will discuss the legal framework with iraq to try what they consider to be extremists is joining us live from to loose and david take a serious some of those discussions of some of the sticking points particularly i think around the issues of of death penalty. yes that is the most important thing the death penalty does not exists in the european union so should it be applied and carried out against any of the the french citizens who are members of eisel who are now in the in the hands of the

kurdish kurdish troops special camps and that is the issue which you will be discussing 1st and foremost and that's a very important one there are 8 french citizens now who are being. given the death sentence they have not been carried out a tool but what should be the case what will happen should there be an international court set up to try all of the foreign fighters who fought with i sort but underneath all of that of course is the is the syrian question about how safe are these camps now of the dreamless says that he's been reassured that the the turkish campaign military campaign against the kurdish forces there is not affecting the security of the prisoners but there have been on the reports saying that many of the relatives who were held in other camps i've actually managed to

escape that is a bit of chaos and anarchy breaking out in that area and that there is indeed a great danger that the i saw if i just could make their escape jury this process so i think underneath the discussions of the death penalty in the judicial system for those who've been captured french citizens on international citizens will be that reassurance that the important number of thousands of fighters which they've managed to i saw if i didn't manage to keep in kurdish person's house save really are they i think that will be done in private the meeting will be in baghdad we don't exactly know when there will be kurdish officials there 3 and i think that privately they'll be seeking strong assurances that the security of those council will be maintained now that the franco german summit of course a lot of issues on the table the obviously among them the question of syria as well . sorry i couldn't hear that

stand my earpiece slipped a bit instead again justice just looking at the franco german summit david and the number of issues of course on the table but syria is will as part of that agenda. yes i think undoubtedly there will be an opportunity today for the the french and german foreign ministers to to discuss all of these issues there are so many stand as you said about syria yes that is a very important one it is the main focus of attention of most of the european union leaders at the moment to try to harmonize their positions on exactly what approach they should take especially on the arms and ammunition bans and exports to turkey they are coming round the european union to an overall position italy is going to actually join the embargo on arms and ammunition so they'll be trying to

actually say harmonize their position but there is so many other issues they've got to sort out and harmonization i think is the watchword for all of those one of the one of course very quickly stan is that's where the 2 leaders chance anger merkel and the french presence and then your macro meeting 1st of all and we're just hearing that the world trade organization has given clearance for terrorists to be imposed by washington on the bus because of the illegal and that illegal subsidies they've given to the industry and also the same terrorists will be imposed. from the european union on the boeing aircraft which you've also had it legal subsidies is a very very old case and that of course is disturbing the trading balance and the trade war here at the moment. david thank you for that and hong kong's chief executive kerry land has been forced to delay her annual policy speech in the

legislature. pain. that's harming so jorja uncanny family hollywood. politicians shouted her down twice as she left the china some even threw objects at a lamb is struggling to restore public order after months of antigovernment protests in a pause for months home grown people have had a very difficult time very very tough time how rather our chief executive mrs kerry lamb refuse to respond to resole of the problem our 5 months are very clear not one less and i really urge her if she can't govern hong kong and she has no determination to govern hong kong and she has no ability and even incapable in a ministry to hong kong please that down will carry lab eventually delivered her

twice so then an unprecedented move she delivered the policy address later in the day about an hour or 2 later via video link that has never happened here before then also later in the day in the afternoon she held a press conference where she admitted that she needs to do a better job as a politician to understand all sides of the story all walks of life here in hong kong and she announced that she's going to start an independent committee that will look into the divisions of the society here in hong kong that she says she needs help with and that's what she needs to better govern the territory here what was also interesting you know some of those pro-democracy politicians they were part of the legislative council meeting they reiterated their call that she needs to step down they say she has lost touch with the people of hong kong. in australia around to scrutiny for abuse and neglect of their residence and investigation found the sick and vulnerable of being sedated often without their consent and has moved.
