10:04 am
years alongside united states forces in the effort to defeat eisel but u.s. president donald trump is defending his decision to withdraw u.s. troops from northeastern syria allowing turkey to attack the kurdish fighters but we have the courage and we never gave the courage and commitment that we'd stay from there to 400 years of protests that they've been fighting with the turks for 300 years of people. and nobody ever committed gee if you do this we're going to do that we're going to stay with you forever nobody ever said this trump is faced bipartisan criticism in the u.s. congress about the troop pullout and his decision to drop turkey sanctions as part of the cease fire agreement that expires on tuesday. and despite anger at home and abroad trump maintains the ceasefire is holding even as turkey's president wretch of type of heir to one is vowing to continue his military campaign
10:05 am
the white house has promised to lift sanctions placed on turkey as part of its cease fire deal but trump isn't ruling out more in the future we have a power that nobody thought we had to the extent to call sections it's called paris altera of the hell of it their product coming here they said tremendous amounts of steel to the united states and other things trump also maintains his goal is to keep a 2016 campaign promise to bring troops back to the united states as defense secretary who is in the region traveling to saudi arabia late monday says some troops may remain in syria to secure oil fields well others continue fighting against eisel in iraq. the purpose of those forces a purpose of those forces working with the s.d.f. is to deny access to those oil fields by isis and others may benefit from their revenues it could be earned given the tenuous nature of the cease fire agreement with turkey democratic leaders in the us congress are promising to introduce their
10:06 am
own bipartisan sanctions against turkey to reverse what they say is a humanitarian disaster unleashed in syria by president trump kimberley health at al-jazeera the white house meanwhile the u.s. secretary of state has indicated that washington is prepared to take military action in the region if required for we see american interest at stake or fundamental norms around the world that need to be enforced will use all the powers that we have you suggested the economic powers that we've used will certainly use them we'll use our diplomatic powers as well those are our preference we prefer peace to war but in the event that kinetic action or military action is needed you should know the present trump is fully prepared to undertake that action. protesters in lebanon are standing their ground despite the government approving sweeping economic reforms but all 13 has appeared to be talking security with the police and military dispersing groups of demonstrators the prime minister saad
10:07 am
hariri announced the economic measures to diffuse the biggest demonstrations in years against the nation's leaders and activists say they won't go home until the entire cabinet steps down as it was in a lot of joins us live now from the lebanese capital saying as it seems the country is paralyzed for yet another day protesters remain on the streets roads of blogs so that's what's been happening on the ground. well what protesters want to do is to continue to pile pressure on the government to resign as you can see behind me some streets they've managed to to block the road. on major highways but the lebanese army and the security forces there are out in force and they have orders they have orders to open the roads it has been decided by the prime minister sato heidi in a phone call late yesterday with the army chief that they are going to allow the people to continue to protest and that the army will continue to protect the protesters but it seems they will only allow them to stay in certain squares they
10:08 am
will take action they will take measures when protesters try to disrupt public life there is no general strike they clearly streets are more busy it is quite difficult really for the protesters to keep up this momentum because people need to return to work the banks have been closed since friday so people are short short of cash a.t.m. machines no longer you can no longer withdraw money from a.t.m. machines some gas stations in certain areas across the country are lacking fuel because it's very difficult to move from one area to another so the army now saying that they will prove they will ensure freedom of movement for the people so but as you can see in some areas protesters are still defiant still closing closing. roads but people really praised the army late yesterday because they prevented the supporters of 2 parties a movement and has been barred from approaching this area we are in the main
10:09 am
protest site in downtown beirut so the army prevented them from reaching the site they were waving and carrying party flags really in a very provocative move so the army prevented that from happening and this is why it's just so dangerous because this is still a deeply divided country yes we talked about millions of people in the streets this is a country's population is 5000000 people but 12000000 on the streets really means that there are others who still support their party's traditional political parties and if they take to the streets to face these demonstrators then the risk of confrontation real so the army now taking control and yesterday we saw the prime minister saad hariri address the nation but in terms of the politics i mean what happens next what are the various options the some areas going forward. well the governing alliance making it very very clear we're not leaving we're not leaving power we're not handing over power to a transitional council as protesters want civil society this is a spontaneous protest movement civil society activists are telling us we're under
10:10 am
no illusion we're up against people who have been in power for decades people who control the security forces people who do have money but for us this is a new beginning it is a start a revolution has already happened people have come together the sectarian divide has been overcome muslims christians standing next to each other so really they feel that they have accomplished something they haven't accomplished their stated goals but they feel that this is a new beginning that they can build upon or it is in the heart of the in the lebanese capital beirut saying that thank you for that. to yemen now where at least 5 civilians were killed after an airstrike by the saudi led coalition struck a moving vehicle in kotov district that's in the northwestern province of sada 2 children and 2 women are among the dead the u.n. says ending the war as soon as possible is crucial the saudi u.a.e. led coalition has been fighting who the rebels alongside yemen's government since 2015. taliban fighters have killed at least 16 afghan police officers there talk up
10:11 am
and in the district and couldn't do this province 3 fighters were also among the dead. canada's justin trudeau has secured a 2nd term as prime minister but his liberal party hasn't gained enough seats for a poly mention majority only result so the new bills have a $156.00 seats and monday's election well short of the 170 needed it means trudeau will now have to rely on the support of the new democratic party to push through keane legislation the main opposition conservative party picked up by liberal support fell on more than 20 seats to its previous election result has more now from toronto. after an election campaign that many described as less than inspirational not positive a tall in many regards canadians have chosen justin trudeau as liberals for another term in office but it's a minority government he had a majority 4 years ago in 2015 now he'll govern with a plurality of seats in parliament he though framed it when he was speaking to his
10:12 am
supporters as a clear victory and one for forces that canadians favored over those of his conservative opponents and their sheer. tonight canadians rejected division and negativity. they rejected cuts and us territory and they voted in favor of a progressive agenda and strong action on climate change. for mr scheer's part he was disappointed obviously he was looking pretty good in the opinion polls in a dead heat but gaining on mr trudeau until recently when he was found to have dual us canadian citizenship something that didn't sit well with the voters and in the end he had to settle for 2nd in the selection after the 2015 election when justin trudeau looked on stoppable when all the pundits and experts said it was the beginning of another trudeau dynasty that he would have 8 or even 12 years in power
10:13 am
but tonight conservatives have put justin trudeau on notice and mr trudeau when your government falls. service will be ready and we will win. what's not clear is how mr trudeau is going to govern with the minority he may seek the support of other parties on an issue by issue basis or he may make informal deals with some of his opponents but there's really no appetite for another election anytime soon in this country the last campaign was negative costly and canadians probably want to see this government given a chance to govern and let the election come when it may up to 4 years from now time for a short break here not just iraq when we come back israel's prime minister fails to form a government again about what that means for the country and the elaborate ceremony for japan's ambrozy officially ascends the firm are in that state with us.
10:14 am
here's some probable good news for an old europe and not so good news for western europe just watch the satellite picture this is the train the conveyor of right it's been running for a few days but look what's happening and it's sudden flank this is a breakaway area of cloud which will eventually turn into a circulating low so all the energy will go into rain thunderstorms severe weather actually in southern france and the eastern side of spain the west and the problem of training typically but that does mean this conveyor has gone from the sun will come out over a quieter northern europe for the most part now and take you over tuesday and wednesday now and this is the development area they will be flooding in spain and france there's all this that could be some tornadoes the potential damage is there the rest of europe far in and it's still warm in the east not 30 but certainly in the twenty's well above where it should be for this time the year so that's what's
10:15 am
happening in europe but of course the western med connects to northern africa particularly to algeria and morocco the picture in morocco on tuesday is a wet one is in the atlas mountains a flash flooding seems quite likely and again although the rain does move eastwards wednesday's only a small improvement yet as sponsors look fine the coast maybe not. welcome
10:16 am
back a quick amount of our top stories here on al-jazeera a ceasefire in northeastern syria set to end less than 10 hours kurdish led forces had 5 days to withdraw from erez along the turkish border to stop further military action turkey and russia's presence on me to consult in the coming hours to discuss the situation. authorities in lebanon appear to be tightening security as police and the army disperse protesters trying to erect barricades sporadic demonstrations are continuing despite the government approving sweeping economic reforms. and kind of as justin trudeau has secured a 2nd term as prime minister but his liberal party hasn't won enough seats for
10:17 am
parliamentary majority and will now have to rely on the support of the new democratic party to push through legislation. they have been violent protests in bolivia the president is being accused of trying to manipulate sunday's election results so that he can avoid a runoff in december of a morale as appears to have a 10 percent lead over his main rival but calas mess is refusing to accept that result john holeman was at one of the protests in the past. there is a lot going around the state's been through to running street protests and police was. the russians are. they showing no do they would have pulled moralise out they put these fights in the streets or trying to disperse to take us it's being shot towards him by the police and you can see down here that they've also put some of the crews just been sick trying to stop the police from getting them off the streets now. which is saying it's
10:18 am
wrote the script or put the proposal up or if you are straight but don't look at it like it was this person this man is telling us that he was here earlier to take us calmly started there are some injured here in the city for the possibility now let me just quickly tell you why it is that these people have been taking to the streets there taking to the streets because the the there was an election on sunday and in the preliminary count it showed that it was going to a 2nd round of the challenger carlos mencia was going to a 2nd round with incumbent president ever moralities then that vote was cruising that focus frozen for almost 24 hours and when it come back came back online it showed the president ever marley's was almost going to win outright there was going to be no 2nd round for the protest outraged by this breakthrough things were going to a 2nd round and now they feel that has been taken away from them they say by fraud . chinese government hasn't forced a curfew for

a 3rd consecutive nights off to another day of violence in santiago police used tear gas and water cannon to disperse thousands of protesters in the capital and he said 11 people have been killed in the demonstrations which started 2 weeks ago when increase in train ticket prices about since been scrubbed. well earlier people in santiago spend hours queuing for food and fuel most schools and businesses remain closed the grocery john says more than 100 of its stores were looted at the weekend and in some cases set ablaze israel's prime minister has failed to form a government for the 2nd time this year president ruben rivlin is not expected to last netanyahu centrist rival benny gantz to put together a coalition force of has more now from west jerusalem. well after the end of the last of a series of jewish holy days and on his 70th birthday benjamin netanyahu admitted defeat in his efforts to try to form a coalition government he laid the blame for that squarely at the feet of the head of the opposition blue and white party benny gantz saying that he and his
10:20 am
colleagues had rejected all of his efforts to try to form a unity government indeed they have rejected those efforts they say because they are unwilling to sit even in a rotational arrangement as prime minister with a man who as netanyahu is is facing indictments in 3 separate corruption cases than young is accusing benny gantz of wanting to form a minority government with support from the outside from the 10 members of the joint list the mainly palestinian israeli parties who have committed their support to benny gantz is a potential prime minister the head of that joint this grouping has accused netanyahu of inciting against arabs again and he says that he hopes that will be the last time he does so as prime minister now the israeli president riven rivlin has indicated that he will give the mandate to benny gantz potentially on tuesday he would then have a $28.00 day period in which to try to form a government but his prospects either of forming a minority government or indeed of a unity government with could with the could potentially jessops jettisoning ness
10:21 am
and you know as prime as prime minister in their leader they both look extremely unlikely prospect so he may well fail as well if that happens then the mandate would go to the knesset as a whole potentially with anyone from the knesset any member of the knesset who is able to muster enough support potentially trying to form a government him or herself but that too is exceptionally unlikely and that period could well coincide with the attorney general's final decision on whether to indict nessun yahoo or not in these 3 corruption cases if there is no government formed after all of this the netanyahu could stay in office until a 3rd election in less than a year that would be potentially in march next year but there may well be a legal challenge as to whether a prime minister could continue to sit in office while being indicted and so it does seem that there is a very turbulent bumpy few weeks and months ahead in israeli politics. several cities across the 55th of its 1st post independence revolution demonstrate.

users with political messages the social media platforms as the russians tried to influence voters in swing states like florida and virginia account holders but tended to be locals and posted comments targeting both sides of the political spectrum while discussing the 2020 presidential candidates. from washington d.c. . this is all about facebook trying to get its house in order before the 2020 presidential election or at least being seen to try to get its house in order before the 2020 presidential election you remember the platform took a lot of criticism in 2016 for except ing advertising from russia directly and through proxies and many people see that that advertising was myths leading and it led to people being misinformed and in some cases was actually dangerous well they're changing the rules for some political advertising on facebook 1st of all they're going to flag up anything that is put on there by state funded media the

see that that is going to follow the example that has been set by you choose which introduced that practice recently they are also going to flag up any videos or pictures they see are false and misleading or partly misleading and this comes in response to a number of democratic presidential candidates who have been criticizing facebook quite vociferously over the last few days a lizabeth war and a front runner among them and interestingly on monday facebook also announced it had suspended a number of accounts with direct links to russia and also to iran you know there are some cynics who would suggest that the timing of this is all very convenient because mark zuckerberg is due to appear on capitol hill on wednesday he's not planned to talk about elections and political advertising instead he is going to talk about the new digital currency that facebook is intending to introduce something that could make the company a significant amount of money
