trying to break these barriers of machismo by giving women access to myself and. the women leading the way. women make change on al-jazeera. al-jazeera. you're watching the news our life from a headquarters and. coming up in the next 60 minutes reza tell you about a one declares no world power can stop turkey's military offensive in syria defying demands for a cease fire. issues. as breck's at talks go down to the wire trade and the iris border are still the big sticking points also ahead. had told

by fellow politicians hong kong's embattled leader is forced to abandon her annual policy speech. i'm joined again with the sports olympic officials move next year's marathon from tokyo to escape the city heat. hello turkey's president has vowed to keep fighting in syria until all his country's goals have been met. as shrugging off international pressure for an immediate cease fire and the battle on the ground goes on the attack on a fast and ion is on the front line gunfire and heavy artillery have been heard right across the city as turkish and kurdish forces fight for control now diplomatic efforts are also intensifying u.s. vice president mike pence on the secretary of state michael peo will try. able to

turkey to push for a cease fire they come armed with president trumps threat of more sanctions if they're ignored but that's unlikely to sway presidents or to one in an address to his ak party he said he won't be influenced by foreign intimidation we're going to take it that it should do that. all the suggestions and threats we're not going to accept i think that has been clear from the stop by at it should we want to steer organization and move from now borders when the zone for members to the iraqi border and we establish this 35 kilometer deep safe zone this operation will end but up until reaching this point no power can stop us well 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 good service. 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 that 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 and he's calling for an immediate end to the turkish operation as a meetings been called at the u.n. to discuss syria our diplomatic editor james bass will tell us more about that shortly while our white house correspondent kelly halkett is standing by in washington 1st to ring in santa who's an attack on there that's on the turkey syria border where the defiance message is enough for murder one how's the turkish military operation playing out on the ground right now. well it hasn't been easy it's now entering its 2nd week fierce combat in the line that is a border town the kurdish led syrian democratic forces mounting

a fierce defense using tunnels using trenches so it's not an easy fight in russell laine maybe a small border town but it is key in turkey's plans to create a safe zone along the border east of the euphrates because wrestling should be part of this safe zone so fierce combat on the ground and russia russia stepping in the united states has left the area but russia making clear who is calling the shots they have deployed their military police on frontlines laying claim to a number of areas members for example a key town in the northern countryside of aleppo which turkey also wanted to capture it wanted the local syrian allies to take control of member from the syrian syrian kurdish armed group the white p.g. which makes up the backbone of the s.d.f. and now it has no longer able to advance towards the city because of the deployment of russian troops so on the ground it is facing resistance and like you mentioned diplomatic pressure the greatest crisis in decades with its nato allies the united

states are to go on telling the us no i am not interested in a ceasefire not interested in negotiating but most importantly serious different differences with russia a country that it is a partner with in syria it should be working together with syria russia making it clear it's not happy with the turkish intervention in syria it is not happy with turkey's military presence in syria all together so russia really putting a lot of pressure on turkey and erdogan yesterday calling the russian president putin putin inviting order gone but there's still we still don't know the date of that meeting ok is there no further with an update from the talks are they thank you. while speaking before you had to turkey the u.s. secretary of state my home peo has made it clear that he'll be pushing for an end to the offensive. and we have every expectation that we will meet with president or to one you know and it's and it's important when we have this conversation with him directly president felt it was important that we do this at the most senior levels

of the united states government to speak to him face to face he needs to stop and stop the incursion into syria this is a complicated matter with lots of states at play let's break this down with kimberly healthcare's joining us from washington so what are we to make of the president sending such a high level delegation to turkey kimberly. well the u.s. president is very clear that he wants to send a message and essentially that message is that the united states is looking for an immediate cease fire and a go she added settlement so this is what the hope is that this delegation expected to leave washington about 22 g.m.t. head over to meet for the u.s. secretary of state my compare saying there of what they expect to be a face to face meeting with the turkish leader is to try and achieve these goals now we should point out in just the last hour or so the u.s. president has been speaking about the situation from the oval office we expect that

the playback will be coming in soon but we are starting to get some early notes from it and the u.s. president is once again defending his decision to move aside troops in order for turkey to make its way in in terms of this military operation he's defending this decision saying if turkey goes into syria it is between turkey and syria it's not our problem meaning the united states but clearly there is a feeling that it is the united states problem or this high level delegation would not be being sent the other thing coming out of this meeting with the talian president at the oval office is this statement from u.s. president donald trump essentially saying the kurds are no angels and this is getting a lot of traction given there is a real feeling in the united states that this decision by the united states to pull back troops has betrayed the kurds the fact that the the kurds who lost 11000 people fighting alongside u.s. troops in the effort to defeat i sold that the united states has just turned its

back on these fighters and the u.s. president sort of doubling down on that insult by saying the kurds are no angels so these are the latest david's coming to the white house as i said we expect that not only will we see that tape playback soon we also expect the u.s. president to have more to say on this when he has a joint press or with the italian president the coming hours and then later about 900 g.m.t. at. at the white house the u.s. president will be meeting with congressional leaders also not happy with his serious turkey strategy that are putting together their own legislation right now to essentially try and undo the president's moves all right so a lot going on over there a complete health care for the time being thank you for that updates let's bring in our diplomatic editor james bays joining us from the united nations and not the 1st time james that european members of the security council have requested a meeting on what's taking place in northeast syria what do we expect to happen. yes well we believe that meeting is about to get underway in the next few minutes

in fact move just show you the picture over here that is actually the doorway into the security council where the closed meeting will be taking place what they've been doing is having a meeting about western sahara that meeting we understand has just come to an end or is about to come to an end and then they're moving on to the agenda right about syria and what's going on in north east syria and we've just seen the 2 u.n. briefers come in who will be briefing the security council in that closed meeting the head of humanitarian affairs mark khalid county who's the assistant secretary general for political affairs they will be briefing the security council on the current situation we've seen a few ambassadors around here outside the meeting while they were discussing western sahara interesting citing a short time ago i saw the turkish ambassador here although he's now left the area ahead of this closed meeting which was called by european members of the security

council. since we last spoke the situation has not improved quite a country. the number of i.d.p.'s a number of people needing humanitarian aid the number of people who are fleeing this area reaches 200002 minutes here in situation just. this is very very worried we are still very concerned about the old implications of this offensive humanitarian views the a lot of people on the run. and i'm not a concern he's also about. possible resurgence the fact that apparently some prisoners have been able to escape so all this is absolutely very concerning and so that's why d.e.u. members of the council if called for this meeting to because things are really

evolving very rapidly on the ground as you know. some interesting developments just as this meeting moves behind closed doors from western sahara to syria and that's the u.s. ambassador kelly craft has actually left the area and headed away whether that's for some discussions quality with some of her colleagues and she'll be returning or whether she's not saying staying for the syria agenda isn't clear certainly when they discussed this last week she came out and made a statement at the end to reporters taking no questions what the europeans are hoping is that they can get a unified statement from the security council even if it's a pretty brief one expressing concern and i'm told that that is something they are hoping for but not necessarily expecting and if they don't get that we believe what's most likely is that we'll see the european ambassadors come to the podium here themselves and make their own statement ok james will cross to you

a little later thank you for that update from the united nations let's talk to baron he's an assistant professor of world history at the american university in iraq is joining us from ankara thanks very much for your time with us on the al-jazeera news hour let's 1st talk about the u.s. delegation that's headed to ankara in a couple of hours time there pushing for a negotiated cease fire that's what we're being told but according to what he's saying is in no mood to negotiate so to what extent do you expect to see some sort of agreement or some sort of understanding between the 2 sides when they meet. thank you for thank you very much for having me on the show i believe from the turkish perspective there are 2 things either president i do want to president trump agreed on what the nature of the turkish operation into syria would be or both men prefer sort of off the cuff rather casual conversations over more formal commitments and agreed actually that the turkish operation would turn out to be

this way but facing domestic backlash president trump decided to 2nd guess themselves and started imposing sanctions on turkey and as a result of that president had gone of course is responding to a domestic audience a domestic expectation that that he believes would would respond more positively to an operation in northern syria against y.p. g s the forces which are known to be allied with with the kurdistan workers party a group that has been fighting the turkish government since 1984. adults it's not going to be easy for president i don't want to stop the offensive when he has committed himself so much but i believe that there will be modalities and possibility of working something out with the trumpet administration given the very high level nature of the delegation that is about to arrive in.

what do you make of the international pressure that seems to be piling up on president as well as the threats of more u.s. sanctions i believe at the heart of that problem lies a very serious misunderstanding on turkey's part on the one hand because 'd because of turkey's problems with the p k k turkey's own inability to resolve its kurdish question. successive turkish governments with very different ideological 'd viewpoints and social and political bases have continued to see the p k k as an existential threat for turkey after the syrian civil war and specially with the rise of the of the p.y.t. and its armed groups the y.p. g. which evolved into the syrian democratic forces the s.d.f.

turkey has insisted on the international arena that it does not consider as fundamentally different than isis this argument has not hold water in the international community basically everyone you talk to who follows the syrian civil war sees the y.p. g. forces as as the anti isis and a very effective as a very effective force that has played a critical role in defeating isis now if i said. international pressure continues to pile on ankara my question to you is is it going to have any impact on president earlier on and the trajectory of the military operation i would be lying to you if i said i knew the answer to that question but i can say this much turkish president i don't want is someone who has always acted in his best political interest and currently it is not in his best political interest to

risk further sanctions destabilize his country's economy further and then and then you know risk his own pulis domestic political standing so i do expect him to perhaps declare some sort of victory because the turkish military has made some headway in the northern syria and then start talking with turkey's western partners with the united states and the european union ok and we'll leave it there baron cohen although we thank you very much for speaking to us from ankara. the rest of the news is coming up on the al-jazeera news hour and a united stand on impeaching the u.s. president but his potential white house rivals find little other common ground we'll look at the latest that's come out of the democratic debate in sport avoiding the protests why barcelona is not the brown madrid could be moved joe has the details a little later. but

1st last minute breaks a negotiation is are continuing after leaders in the u.k. and the e.u. fail to reach a resolution in marathon late night talks so they're attempting to reach an agreement that can be rubber stamped at a summit on thursday and there appears to be a breakthrough as the e.u. council president donald tusk has just said that the basic foundations of a deal are ready and we'll know either way by late wednesday still there are warnings technical level discussions. continued. and are ongoing as we speak no docs have been constructive but still remain. significant issues today.

let's bring in that house about where she is joining us from paris from brussels excuse me this time natasha so when tusk says that the basic foundations for an agreement are ready what are we to read into that statement. well that's the question i mean donald the head of the council is saying that we might have clarity on what has come out of these negotiations between u.k. and negotiators in 7 or 8 hours so that's probably about midnight brussels time and at that point suggesting that we might know whether or not there is a revised brigs a deal ready to be considered by e.u. leaders when they arrive for their summit here in brussels on thursday now saying there are the foundations of a deal in place but exactly what that means isn't isn't clear because of course all these negotiations are behind closed doors and there are there's also speculation as to what that might mean he is saying it could be ready for thursday but on the

other hand he's also saying that briggs in negotiations are very precarious and uncertain and it could be the case then nothing is ready either and that's very much been the kind of theme during these negotiations over the last few days we keep hearing from the e.u. officials we've heard from the main breaks it negotiating michel barnier that of course he's optimistic they could reach a deal by thursday but on the other hand there are lots of problems and difficulties that still need to be resolved very much focused around this issue of the border between island part of the e.u. and northern ireland part of the u.k. there is still some issues over questions of trade and how it would work out so i think we really have to wait and see until we really have that clarity that we've been promised but it's worth remembering that over the past few days we've heard several times from e.u. officials that at some point they will be carroty at some point will be told what the outcome of these negotiations is but so far we haven't heard anything in those

those outcomes keep getting delayed ok in the taskbar thank you for the time being with an update from brussels let's bring in richard allen who's joining us from london just outside the houses of parliament so any clarity on your or. well a cabinet meeting has just broken up and so those ministers as they were leaving had questions shouted at them by reporters as they as they usually do and obviously the state of play. came from those questions about lack of response that these reporters got was that the ministers don't really know walkies in this potential deal either yet they haven't been properly brief so the u.k. ministers are in the dark about this potential deal as the rest of us we had a comment from leo varadkar of the irish t. shirts earlier on today saying i don't think it would be helpful today to say too

much about the precise state of play of the discussions or the exact time frame here which an agreement may be possible well ok with me to perhaps shine a bit of light into this miasma is jonathan list with deputy director of british influence where. we have to carry back to the basics fundamentally the irish government a fair that's a solution except we see our government it is never safe that exact school to the democratic party in northern ireland and vice versa so what is acceptable to the arch government is that there is no border infrastructure on the island of ireland i'm not means that northern ireland has to remain in the customs union indefinitely until there is some kind of alternative arrangements state will not it out that means northern ireland has to follow the east tariffs and combi part of great britain's trade deals now that would not be accessible to north knighted because they go to d.p. rather because they've been economically night states right into ireland but eventually these 2 psychologically united identified it as well and that's it they

want to do something they want to provide so that's the delicate balance that has to be forged the fundamentally that can be an outline of the deal but they cannot be a legal tax a deal by tomorrow at the summit and not means that we cannot have a deal from the fighting some say not me. it will have to seek an extension so you think that the time is now just too tight to get this nailed down in time to prevent that extension that boris johnson will have to write about. i just don't see how it could be any other way there are several phases to have to be done the e.u. is not going to treat this like a bill after lunch there has to be a binding international treaty and that means that all member states have to read every single word to make sure the hockey that because this house last a very long time say right now in the negotiation face we haven't even agreed to deal with all interested parties all member states british comedy the ones that sound then you start getting not codify games with the treaty and then he tossed

around again it's the time frame simple to shoot i mean poor thing to remember ace . is working to his own timetable not boris johnson timetable if they don't want to seek an extension they'll granted it but i have to do his bidding just because he said he'd rather die in a ditch the next day. so you know even if it does please the e.u. even if it does please a t.v. even if it does please the british cabinet member a strong stand still has to get a majority of m.p.'s in british parliament to give us a go around how likely is that. this really depends on the date. as i said so far it hasn't been possible to reconcile the bossy different vision say for the east side of the d.p. a c.b. by some miracle because i think it would be a miracle because somehow bridge by some fudge about consents whatever it might be i still have to get the hard line conservatives on boot many of him and not happy by as with any kind of customs arrangement or integration of the then the prophecy

i get it to the labor party because this deal as rustic quite drastically cutting provisions for workers' rights for example is a lot harder than theresa may steal the chance of more than 5 or 6 labor m.p.'s facing craig is a guy remote so that the numbers are house you know i think. thank you very much shows unless they're for a fresh perspective. right or a challenge thank you. the french president to me what i'm calling the german chancellor angela merkel are meeting in the southern france city of 2 news issues ranging from syria are expected to be on that agenda ahead of thursday's e.u. summit in brussels. visited the headquarters of arab us to highlight european cooperation bring in david chaytor he's joining us from to lose and they did visit the arab. headquarters putting on a show of unity really david why did they go to air about what's the significance of that. what is very significant because it's one of the most

successful co-operative economic projects that the e.u. has got but because of a world trade organization decision that it was essentially being subsidized illegally by the governments to give it a competitive edge against its american competitors boeing that washington is now allowed to impose tariffs on the european union this is the beginning of another trade war for washington now president trump donald trump has just said that he has urged the european union not to retaliate with tyrus but it will have to wait and see exactly what happens there because the world trade organization is also going to rule on illegal subsidies to boeing the main the main competitor for us early next year and it looks like they will

find like the airbus case that those were in place and that the e.u. could impose tariffs so i think what we're seeing is the beginning of a trade war along with we've already seen one with china. one happening with the biggest. economic trading bloc the european union with washington so this is really important it has to be a chart that everybody's going to try and stop these tariff barriers happening because this is the worst moment if you like with breaks it and the deal breaks it still in the balance that's going to have a huge economic impact already on the u.k. and on the other $27.00 members of the european union so this is a critical juncture and that's why both angela merkel and emanuel decided to have their 1st meeting their lunch in the fuselage of the us saying that this project this. will be and will have

a future at the center of europe and they're going to take no prisoners will not idea all right david thank you. much more to come on the al-jazeera news hour including hundreds of schools facing closure how a building collapse has sparked fear of poor construction standards in kenya also. on poll recently sweden where the indigenous sami people say by way of life is under threat not just from climate change but from the government solutions to stop it. and we'll hear from the south african rugby team ahead of what's being billed as a revenge match against japan and the world cup quarter finals. hello the thunderstorms that are over the lebanon and elsewhere a couple days ago are still visible in this massive cloud here most of the activity

past due the date 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 the democrats who want to replace donald trump has president found common ground in their demands for a trump to be impeached but they did baker fiercely about almost everything else they've wrapped up their 4th debate in ohio a battleground state that's backed the winner of the presidential vote for decades john hendren reports from westerville in ohio. in their 4th and final debate democrats spent 3 hours in verbal combat with one another and president donald

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 work we're moving on so i am sorry i don't feel great but i would like to tell. i want

to start by saying. from here the candidate field is likely to winnow down the candidates who performed well here are likely to see fund raising increase those who didn't are likely to see a 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. bottom mourner probably almost tied in terms of their performance and then i think campbell harris is just 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 al jazeera westerville ohio well
