deadline looming and the e.u. and u.k. prepare to square off in brussels was will boris johnson to do next followed the e.u. summit on al-jazeera. on. this is al-jazeera. hello i'm stan grant this is the news i'll live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes. we're not looking for a mediator or anything we don't need it took is president rejects international pressure and says the offensive in syria will continue until these troops secure a safe sun along the border. talks go down to the wire trade and the irish border remain as main sticking points. shouted

down by politicians hong kong's chief executive carrie lamb is forced to delay her annual policy speech. and i'm li harding with sports the olympic marathons in tokyo are being moved to avoid the summer heat and barcelona's match with real madrid could be switched because of the protests in the city. president has promised to keep fighting in syria until all these countries goals have been based rich of tayyip erdogan is shrugging off international pressure for an immediate cease fire and the battle on the ground goes on the town of wrestle and remains the front line of the conflict there's gunfire and heavy artillery that have been heard across the city as turkish and kurdish forces battle for control diplomatic if it's to end the fighting role so intensifying u.s. vice president mike pence and secretary of state. a travelling to turkey to push

for a cease fire the u.s. delegation is due to meet the turkish president. with president trump's threat of more sanctions if they're ignored but that's unlikely to sway president over one in an urgent address to his party he said he won't be influenced by foreign threats we . should do. all the suggestions and threats we're not going to accept i think that has been clear from the stop bio attitude we want to steer organization from our borders design to the iraqi border and we establish this 35 kilometer safe zone this operation will end but up until reaching this point no power can stop us. no one has also defended the operation against critics who say civilians are in the line of fire he says turkey has never and will never commit a civilian massacre c.b.s. cut down a good mix of your designers. if you want to see civilian casualties look at the

streets of palestine when muslims are killed in the streets you want to see civilian massacres look at the terror organization who killed their women elderly children they were killed by them in the last 40 years if you want to see civilian meskins look in the mirror and look at history and look at all the blood of the innocents in your own hands tookie can never be accused meanwhile the u.n. special envoy for syria is in damascus he's calling for an immediate end to the turkish operation citing humanitarian concerts and will go to charles stratford in china and pienaar on the turkish syrian border shortly but 1st we're joined by sin i'm who is joining us out of turkey. that speech that we heard from president was very much i'm good rallying his party and rallying the people and there was a strong message of defiance wasn't there. well yes see here again

repeat the same lines actually when you listen to whole of his speech he said that this military operation is not a war this is a security measure turkey targets what it and the e.u. and the u.s. calls a terrorist organization and turkey doesn't want what they call a terrorist corridor or by its border and don as don was actually trying to make clear some of the some of the things because looking at looking at the media coverage and the internet lack of international support to a nato ally ancora is aware that they are gaining in the battlefield on the ground but they're kind of losing when it comes to international media coverage and international p.r. so i don't try to underline that his military forces are not targeting the civilians he's not bombing the severe the military is not bombing the civil areas and he compared it to the other u.s. military presence in afghanistan other places and how they targeted the civilian

areas so are going to try try to justify this operation in his own way but also one thing was important he made it clear that he doesn't want any medication from any international party to make peace with the y p g p y v or p k k however he names it he said that turkey already had an experience they try to make peace with the p.k. k. in the beginning of the 2010 but the p.k. k. violated the so this process especially the talks between the turkish intelligence and the p.k. k. leadership and also by leaking some voice recording so long was also clear on one thing he said that whoever wants to come to anchor out to talk me through stopping this war shouldn't even bother saw him. it's clear despite the lack of international support from the us from the e.u.

from the arab league most of the muslim countries he's eager to complete the safe zone he calls from men base to the iraqi border which stretches around 420 kilometers writer a key staff. so and thank you for that we're going to judge a child's traffic now and joe and he's on the turkish syrian border of course we heard from president to one child saying that he's not going to stop until he's achieve these objectives and he won't be talked out of that on the ground how close does he appear to be to to meeting those objectives. was certainly the view from here looking over us a line he's a long way off meeting those objectives here considering the battles here started about a week ago we've seen some intense fighting today a lot of artillery used as strikes a lot of heavy machine gunfire heard in the city you can see the smoke behind me we believe that may actually be

a gas station that may have been hit so when you consider that this city was part of the 1st phase of this operation you can see what kind of resistance the turkish forces a coming against are facing and we also understand looking at the distance between where this fighting is going on and the actual border wall itself it's very close so it suggests that not many gains have been made in russell a now the turkish military do however say that they have pushed south west of the city made gains there in the last 24 hours they're also saying that they made gains around the town of tel aviv. southwest again of the town of tel aviv which they took control over a few days ago. we understand that it's been quite quiet around that flashpoint of money which of course we know that russian sorry syrian forces took control of syrian army forces took control over yesterday we still hear that russian military

police patrolling that area making sure that there are no potential confrontations between protests his forces that we understand are around 10 to 15 kilometers north of beijing yeah the military campaign certainly would respect to russell laine all indications are that the turks are very much up against it. charles thank you for that we're going to continue this discussion now particularly around the question of diplomacy matthew bryza is a former u.s. ambassador to azerbaijan and a former white house official who joins us on skype from istanbul it's nice to have you with us just wondering as mike pence and mark pump sit to sit down with president hu one listening to president to one today saying don't bother coming here trying to talk me out of meeting these objectives i want to listen where is the scope here for some form of negotiation or breakthrough. yet thank you stan for having me. president i do want to signaling there really is no scope for

negotiation as you just mentioned and so top u.s. leaders don't take to that lightly so president trump has decided to send the highest level delegation he could possibly send for diplomatic purposes other than himself right i mean the vice president and the secretary of state it and i'm sure they're convinced of their own persuasiveness with the full force of the u.s. government behind them but i i i think that president there's no chance he's going to implement a cease fire or allow any mediation until he feels turkey has achieved had the goals that he defined which is as the reporter said creating a safe zone in northern syria the y.p. g. pushed back and then a space to which one stabilized to which refugees can return now as you saw president trump does not send his vice president and his secretary of state to walk away with nothing there is already the threat of more sanctions given the sanctions that we already have in place so where is the potential here for the deal and what

can the vice president pence and 60 pump bring to this negotiation when they sit down across the table from president to one. well number one they can bring the lack of the desire by president trump actually to go further with sanctions president trump likes president our no one president trump wants to get the u.s. troops out and he's expressed since last december his desire for turkey as a nato ally to go in and do the dirty work if you will in syria s. so that that's to president are the ones that advantage and what they can do is say look we're going to go back to president trump and we're going to talk to president trump's 3. opponents or people who are criticizing his his agreement to move u.s. troops out of turkey's way and we're going to say we negotiated hard and president carter one has assured us that his goals are the limited ones he's articulated those goals are in u.s. national interests and in that way perhaps by a bit more time for president are the ones to come clean this this limited military

operation you mentioned there that relationship between president of rwanda and president trump and there is the potential and maybe this will be part of the discussion here of course for president i don't want to go to washington in the future and to sit down with with president trump that personal relationship as someone who's been on the inside of this you've been involved in these negotiations at an ambassadorial level when you get the presidency involved and the the quality and the depth of the person the relationship itself how critical is that. well i've actually been involved in presidential meetings with then prime minister everyone in the oval office under president bush and that personal relationship of course it matters a lot in terms of building reform but after that i think most people would be surprised at how easy it is for the bureaucrats especially in the u.s. pentagon to ignore what the president the united states may have agreed with the

president or then prime minister of turkey we had that for several years where president bush had promised prime minister are to one the u.s. would ensure that northern iraq would not be used as a haven for the p.k. k. and the u.s. central command simply refused for 2 going on 3 years to implement president bush's own pledge that could happen again here but you'd rather not have you to join us on the program thank you i think you took a study to and hope bank says criminal charges against it in the u.s. a part of sanctions washington imposed on ankara for its military operation in syria prosecutors accuse how bank of being at the center of a scheme that helped iran avoid sanctions they say gold was born with iranian oil and gas profits which was then sold for tash in dubai this then enabled iran to buy goods and services because companies didn't know the cash originally time from tehran nearly 1000000000 dollars was reportedly low wanted in this game al-jazeera

as economics editor has more. 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 unique both of those companies paid between $1000000000.00 to $1300000000.00 so the cost of what banks 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 of their find see the impact of of this on the turkish coming will probably be very minimal right now because turkey has 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 shut down their russian jets and so there has been a huge impact on each occasion but this time this is to be a little bit more resilient in the markets for this kind of event was seen today

that you know the shares the share price of. bank has come down 7 percent and has recovered slightly and we're seeing a shortage of of. the lira in the in the international markets so this is a concerted effort by the to basically limit the damage. well plenty more ahead on the news hour including torture and suicides prisons in indian administered kashmir faced multiple accusations hundreds of schools by some closure how a building collapse has sparked fear of poor construction standards in kenya and rugby fever japan's supporters scramble to get their hands on merchandise ahead of their world cup quarter final against south africa. last minute breaks that negotiations are under way after leaders from the u.k.

and european union failed to reach a resolution in lengthy late night talks now they're attempting to reach an agreement that can be discussed at a summit in brussels on thursday the e.u. negotiator miss your banias says obstacles remain between the 2 sides he says there is still potential for a deal britain surgical to leave the e.u. on october 31st u.k. breaks it minister stephen stephen barclay says the government has submitted a draft text that forms part of the deal that would be put before the e.u. we are absolutely committed to securing the deal we think that is in the interest of both sides to be comfortable with a short technical extension to get it done. i think it is important that we leave on the 31st of october. we'll speak to natasha butler in brussels shortly 1st we're going to go to paul brennan in london what's the view from london paul as these negotiations continue with the e.u.

with some sort of hope but also tempered by the reality of the obstacles that remain. well there's been intensive political haggling as well as intensive political negotiating taking place and they went late into the night on tuesday we're now into wednesday of course and they have continued the democratic unionist party very important party on the northern ireland question has been to downing street to meet with the prime minister and his officials and to talk about what the prime minister is proposing as a compromise but they came out and they didn't say anything at all to waiting reporters so to a certain extent those of us who are outside of the circle a very tight circle i might say are none the wiser as to exactly how the politicians and the diplomats are going to square this circle now that said what we have is a summit as you said on thursday which is due to take place and the reality is that

normally the diplomats and the heads of state want to know in advance what's going to be on the agenda for that without having a formal agenda agreed then it's very difficult to see a formal deal emerging and for that reason the consensus is actually appearing to coalesce around the idea that they won't get a formal deal what they will get is more likely some kind of political endorsement a kind of thumbs up to say that they're going in the right direction but to discuss this in a bit more detail with me is most who's saying now he's now a p.r. person but he was a staffer in david cameron's downing street sent a special advisor to former home secretary and the rudd so you know whitehall pretty well know what is a deadline not a deadline in this tense we were told that it wasn't done by last night's tuesday night then all bets are off yeah exactly there's a lot of creativity i think especially when you go to the wire we were also told the e.u. would never renegotiated mutual agreement and they have all they wanted to propose

it was by last night and we're still talking this morning so i think there's an element of people not wanting to be soon as the ones who are pulling the plug on anything or taking the blame. for a no deal and hence you have a few more talks and a few more kind of things happening behind the scenes but i think we need a reality check here which is there are actually 2 sets of negotiations happening one with the u.k. in the and the e.u. and one with the government and the d u p and i think there's now a sense of the e.u. u.k. negotiations have gone as far as they can go in that people want to know what the people actually agree to and what they can live with there's no point in the wider discussions happening if the u.k. team are proposing something that they can't get through parliament which is always been the issue with this the g.o.p. of course the democratic unionist party for those uninitiated effectively holds sway and is a very important well they represent northern ireland sensually and the bracks it is within the conservative party will pay heed to

a great degree as to exactly how the d u p will vote before they decide for themselves how they will vote now. what about what about the deal if there's a customs border down the irish sea which is one compromise that i've heard mooted that would really go against the g.o.p.'s principles what they agree to something like that well i mean this is the key question i think that has always been something they have opposed they opposed it when it kind of came up it may be different guys in the trees i'm a deal and mind standing is that there is opposition within the b.p.t. this now as well but it's not uniform of you did not kind of ok he said said he was think the same things i think there were internal discussions happening as well but they are crucial they have 10 m.p.'s in the house of commons they are the kind of loose heart of the government keeping the government in power so their votes do matter and also as he pointed out the e r g the kind of hard to break city

a wing of the conservative party deuce take their lead from the day you piso they are looking for the d.p. to give them top cover if the d.p. can be the steel then that will unlock many bates thank you mo who say now it's been said by some within the conservative party that no deal would be better than a bad deal it almost appears as though some are prepared now to accept a bad deal rather than no deal paul thank you for that let's go to natasha butler now who's live in brussels and the task is just listening to all the other is a real is intending to pessimism in the u.k. about potential for the deal here but michel barnier has been talking about some sorts leave the room of optimism what that optimism based on and one of the the big obstacles. i mean that's a good question and i don't think anyone really knows it's just not clear exactly what the situation is what the outcome will be because pretty much from the same position that we've been in over the past few days and that is these intensive negotiations are continuing between the u.k. and the e.u.

negotiators to try and see if they can come up with some sort of revised gregg's it deal that they could then put on the table. for e.u. leaders when they gather in brussels for a summit on thursday now the idea is that that's a bit of a deadline for the u.k. that any agreement would have to be signed off at that summit but we've heard over the past few days that perhaps there could be a deal michel barnier the main e.u. breaks in the go shater as you mentioned said there's been a lot of progress there is a certain amount of hope you seem certainly quite optimistic but on the other hand he's also saying there are many difficulties and problems that need to be resolved and those are based that's basically what we're hearing from other e.u. officials of the outlines of a possible deal are there but the details are still really need to be nailed down because what we need is to turn what michel barnier is called good intentions and willingness on all sides into a real legal text of the main obstacles remain very much centered around the issue

of the border between ireland which is part of the e.u. and northern ireland which is part of the u.k. whatever happens we are expecting to perhaps hear something as the day goes along from michel barnier who will be briefing us to exactly where we're at and we know that for example many leaders including the french president emanuel marco has said whatever happens we just want to know exactly what the situation will be before this summit on thursday they don't want to turn up to a summit and the issue of whether there is a deal to talk about or not not because our fight the tension thank you as you heard attention mentioned the french president the man you are back wrong will he's also meeting german chancellor angela merkel and sit to hold talks now the issues of course runs from breaks it and syria and they're expected to be high on the agenda ahead of today's summit in brussels the leaders are meeting in southern france in toulouse where they visited the quarters of a boss to highlight european cooperation. for more on this we're going to bring in

david schaper who joins me live from toulouse and that meeting between president macron and angle merkel as they visited. what were the discussions that. well the discussion was given in a briefing from the lease a palace before it even took place but the interesting thing about this was that the 2 leaders actually got into a few the laws of the air bus and they laid the lunch table there and they were sitting down with the prentices and what cross said to the princes is that he's really come along with angela merkel to to give them confidence in their project he wanted the same sort of apprentices she apprentice scheme that the germans actually had as well but why this question of confidence in the future simply because this week the world trade organization announced that there will be

terrorists imposed upon the boss company and that will cut and blunt their competitive edge why are they doing that because they have had illegal subsidies to increase their competitive edge against the american company boeing now that also means of course of early next year the world trade organization is going to do exactly the same thing to boeing and they're going to have to have tyrus imposed by the european union on their products so essentially what we've got now is the beginning of a trade war between the united states of america and the biggest trading bloc in the world the european union and this could spread of course it could catch fire could be added to wind it could be added to cheese and then the whole tit for tat starts and we're already in the middle of a trade dispute with china so perhaps this was weighing on the minds of most of the german chancellor the french president suring that that lunch lunch inside

the fuselage of the airbus. yeah and of course this meeting happening while there is so much else world around the reason the the ongoing breaks at the scuttle but also the issue in what's happening in syria these are also going to be among the discussions into. without a doubt the real discussions between the german chancellor and the french president just just starting right now near this very square where i'm standing and yes number one of course the big. the big elephant standing in the row every time these 2 leaders meet is breakthrough we don't know what's happening as natasha was saying so we'll have to wait and see what they have to say because there's no progress on that but on syria a very important point that the french foreign 'd minister has a chance to meet is his counterparts here in toulouse and he has already announced

that he'll be going to baghdad at some stage to meet with the kurdish officials and iraqi ministers to discuss the vital question of exactly what is the the state of security for the i still prisoners in the camps guarded by the kurdish troops at the moment the french foreign minister says it seems to be ok it seems to be holding together but there's also the question of the actual french and other foreign eisel fighters what's going to happen to them are they going to be tried inside iraq is there any sort of judicial structure in framework for them to be tried inside iraq or should they in the name of justice be brought back to their home countries already 8 french fighters have been sentenced to death in iraq they haven't been carried out these executions but it worries the whole of the european union on the basic fact that human values of the heart of the european

union and there is no death penalty in any of the $28.00 e.u. countries so these are vital vital matters for them to discuss and we'll see what comes out of the meeting after about 3 hours time david thank you from europe now to hong kong where the chief executive there is calling for tolerance and open mindedness off the opposition politicians shouted down her annual policy speech after 2 failed attempts and having objects right now to carry lam eventually made her dress on video instead scott high the reports from hong kong. head of chief executive kerry lammas policy address security was increased around the government complex anticipating protesters a wall was extended and more police were added. but they did not plan for disruption to come from inside the legislative council i think well i. twice lamb tried to deliver her address you know you are saying rice she was drowned out by

members of the opposition pen democracy coalition chanting and holding up signs. at one point they projected the protest movements 5 demands on the wall behind their pain so moving i will soon after the session was called off because of the disruption pro-democracy members held a news conference with a clear message all 5 months are very clear not one less. and i really urge if she can't govern hong kong and she has no the temptation to govern hong kong and she has no ability and even incapable in a ministration hong kong please that down kerry lamb was forced to put a plan b. into action having no success delivering her address here in the legislative council chambers she had to do it through a video feed the poll i read live on hong kong t.v. it was the 1st time a chief executive delivered a policy address on video and it she touched on some of the big issues the people

of hong kong have been calling for improved livelihoods and more affordable housing she also addressed the deep divide in hong kong society saying that an independent committee will be set up to look into those divisions later at a news conference lam said she tried to listen to all views something she's promised before well you. need a high in the past few months this very serious social unrest his challenge. facing the incidents of recent months i realize that being a politician i need to be always aware and understand the feelings about people and while i also understand that the intentions are good we also need to be very tolerant and open minded. lamb said that the theme of her policy address this year was treasure hong kong our home. but it's clear that there's a lot more work to be done before hong kong is a harmonious household scotland al-jazeera hong kong we're going to look at the

weather now where in europe it's trying to change too often wrong. it is trying these things never goes smoothly we have already wiped out all the thirty's there's a lot of sunshine in the east which empties not reach the city mark but normally when you do that when you try and drop temps you do it by bringing frontal systems near landing and this sort of things happen you know about 36 hours ago this was sudden france a tornado spun off a thunderstorm thunderstorm was caused by a cold front our front was there from the atlantic so quite significant damage can be done and surprised me too and i did anyway do significant damage now there's no more that in the immediate future in fact that whole frontal system has moved on to some degree but the driving force for all this is a lot further writers are just saving it to more or less the north atlantic the sea the expanse of water and the hugeness of these systems which is that sort of thing that drives the cooling weather and you can trace it all way back through these awards back towards the americas eventually but in the immediate future this low is

the dominant feature is throwing rain into western europe the baby escape into western france and it's talking code red behind that however we're not going to get that train run raj across europe at the moment we're holding on to the wall in the eastern side it's the moment spain and portugal are seeing the temperatures drop into the teens it's already happened to france and the british isles some. well still ahead on al-jazeera a united stand on impeaching the u.s. president we have the latest from the debate between donald trump's democratic rival. in sport heading for the world series leader as the action as washington bridge baseball so peace for the 1st time. to strengthen the good you have to shoulder court all the more with the come still

secretary of state. has been speaking to u.s. media that's before his trip for talks into a keep going to get more on this now from our white house correspondent kimberly halkett and what secretary had to say. yeah well there had been in a few hours ago a little bit of doubt about whether or not this u.s. delegation being dispatched by u.s. president donald trump to meet with the turkish leader whether or not that face to face meeting would take place we now know of course through communications by president to once team that that meeting is going to take place and we're getting some insight into the message now that is being sent by the united states u.s. secretary of state mike pump aoe speaking on national television here in the united states saying that not only do they still expect a face to face meeting but their goal is to try and find a resolution for the situation in syria working to make sure there is no security

vacuum now this comes on the heels of a release by the white house late last night where in fact the white house outlined the goals that it's hoping to try and accomplish essentially that they're hoping to try and achieve security in the region safety of civilians and also the detention of eisel fighters that that remains intact so as we know there is this delegation going forward it includes the vice president of the united states the u.s. secretary of state and the national security adviser robert o'brien now we know the message they're taking and the timeline we expect that after a meeting at the white house where the u.s. president will be in consultation with not only this group but also some key members from the u.s. house of representatives in the u.s. senate they are then going to make their departure from washington on route to turkey. kimberly thank you will michael mckinley who resigned as a senior advisor to u.s. secretary of state just 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 ukraine investigate his political rival joe biden democrats are accusing the trump administration of stonewalling the inquiry well the democrats who want to replace donald trump as president have mostly presented a united front calling for him to be impeached they've wrapped up their 4th debate in ohio a battleground state that's backed the winner of the presidential vote for decades they were fiery exchanges though about health care foreign policy and gun violence john hendren reports from westerville in ohio. in their 4th. debate democrats spent 3 hours in verbal combat with one another n. president donald trump. here as a new front runner senator elizabeth warren repeatedly took hits from the other candidates and she hit back 1st on her refusal to detail how she would pay for

government funded health care your signature senators to have a plan for everything except this what most americans want medicare for all who want to understand what that really means it's not a care for all who can afford it former vice president joe biden struck back against president trump and his rivals look. my son did nothing wrong i did nothing wrong i'm the only one in the state has gotten anything really big done and they returned the favor you got the disastrous war in iraq done. you got the bankruptcy bill which is hurting middle class families all over this country afterward each candidate or game face senator you were aggressive tonight how do you feel you did let people make that decision themselves that were sitting in the middle of ohio ohio a state that donald trump won and he won pennsylvania and he won michigan and he won wisconsin we need to build

a blue wall around those states win them and make him pay for it. senator harris how do you feel about the night i feel great you can feel young people are not just registering they're not just deciding that we're going to vote but on gun violence on climate on immigration on health care on any issue that matters they're leading the way right now and we're going to see that reflected in the turnout at the polls one worried that a combative campaign could leave the democratic nominee damaged again is this campaign getting uncivil bill i'm not saying that at all i'm just saying that after the nightmare we saw last time around were for a lot of reasons we went into that general election week or one of them has to be in the fact that there was not enough unity within the democratic party returning just 2 weeks after a heart attack senator bernie sanders joked at his own expense i want to start we're moving on so i'm sorry i'm feeling great but i would like to tell. i want to start by saying. from here the candidate field is unlikely to winnow down the candidates who performed well here are likely to see fund raising increase those

who didn't are likely to see it decline the remaining candidates who stay in the race will focus on the early voting states iowa new hampshire south carolina and then in november 1 year ahead of the 2020 alexion the candidates who remain will get together for the 5th democratic debate who has really stood out to. bernie sanders. by the mourner probably almost tied in terms of their performance and then i think campbell harris is trying i don't think she's going to break out of that 4th spot some who drop out during the campaign will join the cabinet of the winner so while some are running for president some who won't succeed likely already are running just to be part of the team john hendren 0 westerville ohio. more than 2 months off to new delhi revoked the autonomy of indian administered kashmir thousands of kashmir is still in jail among them
