a political solution in syria which is going to be discussed in october 30 in geneva russia and turkey are eager to push up this constitutional process because it is going to be defining the future of syria or of course one of the major topics is turkey's military intervention military operation in syria against the s d f n y p t main needy a kurdish fighters group russia has been against the soap aeration traditionalist saying that it's a threat against syria's territorial integrity also though i still prisoners who were kept under their c.f. were posing a risk added on is planning to persuade putin about all of these he's going to try to make himself clear to put in that his military operation is not threatening syria's territorial integrity which they have been after for a while but of course there is one more thing to turkey wants to stop this 12th military post in that safe zone which can be

a controversial issue between the 2 leaders today meanwhile a convoy of u.s. troops has crossed into iraq from syria president trump has again defended his decision to withdraw some troops from northern syria he says he never agreed to protect syrian kurds forever can really help it reports. they fought and died for 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 for the next 400 years or protest 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 that 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 ceasefire 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 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 called tariffs altera of the whole of the 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 who may benefit from their revenues it could be earned given the tenuous nature of the cease fire agreement with turkey. democratic leaders in the u.s. congress are promising to introduce their own bipartisan sanctions against turkey to reverse what they say is a humanitarian disaster unleashed in syria by president trump kimberly help 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 where 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 or 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 protestors in lebanon are standing their ground despite the government approving sweeping economic reforms but authorities appear to be tightening security as police in the military disperse protesters trying to erect barricades so what has the latest now from beirut. the lebanese army and security forces are out in force preventing protesters from blocking roads but protesters are still defiant they want to keep piling pressure on the government to resign and now they are accusing the security forces of trying to crush their protest movement which is now on and they 6 but an agreement was reached between the governing alliance and the army late yesterday the prime minister speaking to lebanon's army chief they they agreed that they're going to allow people to remain in the streets but they should remain in certain areas in protest sites the army will take action when public life is this

rapid and in many ways the streets are quite different today they're busy people have returned to work some people are also complaining because at the end of the day if they don't go to work they won't be able to earn earn a living so the situation the feeling here is that the government is doing its best to try to fizzle out this protest movement the people here have not achieved their goal which is for the government to resign and early elections to take place and for the political elites who have been in power for decades to leave office but they're up against people who are cleaning all the power traditional political parties who still have support among the lebanese because those lebanese have been benefiting from these traditional parties who have given them jobs so. this civil society movements are under no illusion that this is going to be an easy struggle but for them they have achieved a lot people have come together they have crossed the sectarian divide rich poor

christian muslim they have stood together in the square and squares really across the country this is a new beginning there is no doubt a revolution in many ways has already happened but like i mentioned they're up against political forces who are really in control and good will not give up. power they are offering an economic package of reforms some protesters say we could give them a chance but the majority are saying no we do not trust them so it's really not clear how things are going to develop in the next few days but what is clear is that the army the government wants to take control back of the street. at least 5 civilians have been killed in yemen during an ass strike by the saudi coalition it struck a moving vehicle in district in the northwestern province of sata 2 children and 2 women are among the dead the u.n. says ending the war as soon as possible is crucial the saudi coalition that's been fighting who the rebels alongside yemen's government since 2015. taliban fighters

a lack reports from toronto. for justin trudeau it definitely could have been worse . before the campaign polls showed growing public mistrust with a man who won a resoundingly jordi just 4 years earlier. then photographs emerged that showed him wearing racist black face makeup as a young man adding to earlier scandals about ethics and accusations of broken promises in the end the canadians gave him another chance tonight canadians rejected division and negativity. they rejected cuts i know a stereotype and they voted in favor of a progressive agenda and strong archon punk climate change.

the result is disappointing for the conservative opposition leader andrew scheer who had been steadily improving his standing with the voters before the campaign he faced his own challenges on the hustings accusations of encouraging fake news and online trolling and revelations that he had dual u.s. canadian citizenship and hadn't told the voters he promised to fight on and hold mr trudeau accountable 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 but tonight conservatives have put justin trudeau on notice and mr trudeau when your government falls conservatives will be ready and we will win the. climate change policy was a strong issue in this election with the conservatives promising to scrap a carbon tax brought in by trudeau's liberals and do more for the country's oil industry but most voters disagreed and backed candidates including liberals who

promised more aggressive steps to fight global warming and the changing climate. call this if you will a strong minority government mr trudeau's opponents may have the numbers to beat him in parliament but there are unlikely to do so canadians won't have to face a fresh general election for some time to come down you like hell just 0 toronto. time for a short break here and al-jazeera when we come back for drug companies reach a multimillion dollar settlement for their role in the feeling of opioid epidemic in the u.s. . i'm the labyrinth ceremony for japan's emperor as he officially assam's the throne. how i was still hanging on to that i beat

to see the eastern side of the med it's right in that set a possibility over the next day or so but that they could plan remains a few tools west a mate just brushed off on the north america. sponsored by countdown and. protesting about how does this when they're on line will i face me. directly out of trance like it's playful or if you join us on sat this is an attack on academic freedom and on our ability to do research and teach freely they say is a dialogue myanmar is not making it very welcoming for people to come back everyone has a voice climate change is real 'd the discussion is real and i'm here to talk about the solutions on al-jazeera.

welcome back i'm on about top stories here on al-jazeera a ceasefire northeastern syria is expected to end in less than 9 hours forces about 5 days to withdraw from areas along the turkish border to stop further military action. authorities in lebanon appear to be tightening security as police on the military disperse protesters trying to erect barricades up in sporadic demonstrations despite plans for sweeping economic reforms and canada's justin trudeau secured a 2nd term as prime minister but his liberal party hasn't won enough seats for a parliamentary majority it means it will now have to rely on the support of the new democratic party 1st through legislation. they've been violent protests in bolivia the president is being accused of trying to manipulate sunday's election results so he can avoid a runoff in december as appears to have

lost some of his overwhelming support partly through what many have seen as a gradual erosion of democracy but. for many this would be the last rule is mostly young people that been protesting here into the night basically they say that what's happened in this election is a fraud and that they don't accept it that they want change. but there are already calls for a national strike a mass protests these people is just the beginning of the struggle john holdren now does it or the past chinese government is enforced a curfew for a 3rd night after another day of violence and santiago police used tear gas and water cannons to disperse thousands of protesters in the capital at least 11 people have been killed in the demonstrations which started 2 weeks ago over an increase in trying to get fares that since been scrapped one of the rubble has more now from santiago. it's still past curfew in the chilean capital and what you hear around me
