clearest account yet of the u.s. president's dealings with ukraine. bent and broken pirates from the only problem and one of the most dangerous waterways in the world. russia is warning syrian kurdish fighters will be heavily defeated by turkey if they don't pull back from the border says the kurds have been betrayed by the u.s. which was encouraging them to stay and fight kurdish fighters have until tuesday to withdraw that's under a new deal between moscow and ankara and 6 days russian and syrian forces will move into a 30 kilometer zone along the turkish border took a closer look at this safe zone that ankara is trying to create it will run along an area around 30 kilometers inside syria along the turkish border and russian a turkish joint patrols are run up to 10 kilometers deep on both sides of an area that runs between. going to the border now. charles

what what is what are we hearing from the. we've heard nothing from the in reaction to this russian turkey agree $150.00 now a time here in turkey $150.00 as we understand according to this agreement russian and syrian patrols will start along the turkish border to monitor what they hope will be the withdrawal of those kurdish forces from the remaining area of the border not on the turkish control now president described this agreement as historic analysts say that it has huge potential implications for syria turkey relations for the syria peace process and effectively also. massive implications in terms of russia's power in this region how after having

seen the withdrawal of those u.s. troops last week we had a look at the events in sochi last night and this is a report. with only hours left of a u.s. brokered cease fire in syria russia stepped in president putin offered help to remove and disarm kurdish fighters at the turkish syrian border together with syrian border troops but it's delayed we share turkey's concern about the growing threats of terrorism and the growth of ethnic tensions in the region the stenches and the separatists moved in recent times where in our opinion artificially created by outsiders kurdish fighters have until tuesday evening local time to clear turkey's 30 kilometer deep so-called safe zone along the syria turkey border russian military police will then start joint patrols with turkish forces along almost the entire northeast and syrian border. what it goes on is on the by

removing threats posed by the terrorist organization this operation in syria guarantees syria's territorial integrity and political unity we never had eyes on the country's territory and sovereignty as turkey all steps we are taking in the field we have taken with sensitivity. both leaders agreed that the syrian constitutional committee should start its work on october 30th despite current actions on the ground putin insists the kurds should be part of the political solution for syria after a long discussion with her the one president putin not only managed to become the main power broker in syria but also came territory for his ally syrian president assad who now gets control back over crucial border areas. but this can only be called a russian success if they managed to remove kurdish fighters from a 30 kilometers. only then will the turkish military operation and according to the

russian foreign minister who spoke to the meeting putin also made it clear that for any future solution in syria the turkish and syrian government have to reach their own deal russia wants to revive the 1998 donna agreement between syria and turkey in which syria committed to stop supporting kurdish fighters russia was quick to fill the vacuum left by the u.s. withdrawal from northern syria but by moskos own admission achieving any kind of lasting solution will be a long and complicated process. turkey says that at this stage it will not restart its military operations russia however says that if those kurdish fighters do not withdraw within the next 150 hours from that border area then turkey has every right to restart its military operation in northern syria for the time being at least it seems those kurdish fighters have very little choice.

thank you guys defense secretary mark asked for has arrived in baghdad to discuss the deployment of u.s. troops in iraq as for says all u.s. troops leaving syria will go to western iraq and will continue to fight i saw they walk in military says the u.s. doesn't have permission to stay there the soldiers were through from northern syria just before the turkish operation and gets kurdish fighters again and has more from baghdad. there seems to be a lot of to ing and fro ing between iraq and the us as the secretary of defense mark arrives in baghdad he was in saudi arabia on wednesday he's here today he's taking meetings with the foreign minister and with the prime minister and everybody is hoping for clarity on the status of the u.s. troops what we were hearing just a couple of days ago is that the u.s. troops retreating coming back from syria would go to a base in western iraq and that's where they would be based however

a statement from the iraqi military said no that's not the case they're only allowed to transit through the country and we were hearing that they were going to go to q. weights now the problem seems to be the language that the u.s. is using it seems to have angered a lot of people in power in iraq because the u.s. has said they were treat back to base but they'll continue to mount their operations in northeast syria against isis targets from there that doesn't seem to be acceptable to the iraqis remember there are already about 5000 troops here now we are expecting a press conference in the coming hours with promised i'd love the mahdi and their secretary of defense mark s. but we're hoping for clarity on the status of these u.s. troops will they stay here in iraq and be able to mount their operations as the u.s. would like against liason targets in northeastern syria or will they have to go back to kuwait and regroup. emergency services that in the u.k.

have found 39 bodies in a container truck this is an essex southwest south east england pardon me a truck driver has been arrested following the discovery and we do have a correspondent gather more information on this is soon as we have more on this developing story we'll bring it to you egypt has accepted an offer from the u.s. to help break a deadlock with ethiopia over a multi-billion dollar dam project on the nile construction is 70 percent complete and when it's finished it will provide electricity for ethiopia but egypt is worried the project will shrink its share of the river. the 1st rush after summit is underway in the black sea resort of sochi step past it is there and this issue is something that's being dealt with there so this this tension between egypt and ethiopia over the dam it's been brewing for a while so what we can make spectrum this meeting.

here the 1st ever russian africa forum has just been opened by president putin and his code chair who is the egyptian egyptian president al sisi and then this is of course interesting because this this dispute about the dam is a very hot topic here on the sidelines of this 2 day conference the both the leaders are here. is here the prime minister of ethiopia and of course and there is a plan to for both leaders to meet on thursday tomorrow to discuss this very heated issue as we remember tuesday we are actually said that he doesn't want to go to war over this issue but if he has to he will mobilize his whole population she has also hinted that he wants maybe to talk this issue with president putin and there are speculations that even russia will be involved as some kind of a mediator of course all the 3 men are here in sochi for the next coming days so

a lot of is possible to happen in these next 48 hours to step representatives leaders from from so many african countries are in russia what is what is russia hoping for. well this is very interesting because russia was of course very influential in africa during the time of the soviet union but that relationship very much did 2 rerated after the collapse of the suv soviet union now president putin wants to bring this relationship back to life and this. it's not only about military support because russia is one of the main weapon suppliers to african countries but it's also about minerals it's a lot about minerals it's about economic ties so to our $45.00. 35 leaders of african countries are here in sochi doing this comes all kinds of business for

russia it's important because it has a lot of wants to have a lot more influence in africa also in the united nations security council it would be useful for russia if a lot of countries are on its side so some leaked documents a couple of months ago showed that russia actually wants to have political influence over 40 nations in africa and that's something that's of course being discussed here during the forum as well. thank you very much live in sochi. the top u.s. diplomat in ukraine testified for 10 hours in the impeachment inquiry into president donald trump democrats say william taylor has provided the clearest account yet that trump pressured ukraine to investigate political rival joe biden and exchange for military aid classes a professor of global politics at university college london says taylor's testimony is devastating for president trump. in the watergate hearings in the 1970 s. there was the moment of the smoking gun which changed everything and i think that

this testimony will be seen in history as the smoking gun for trump it is absolutely clear what happened now and it's the most blatant abuse of power in modern presidential history where you have a clear quid pro quo where president trump effectively extorted a foreign government and said you can only have military assistance in the form of anti-tank missiles if you investigate my political opponents and make a public announcement of doing that it's extremely easy to understand which has a devastating political effect because voters are going to see exactly what happened and the person conveying the message is extraordinarily credible you know a former soldier a decorated diplomat somebody who has served under republican and democratic administrations and it's probably the worst day politically and legally in donald trump's presidency for the implications here so if something were bill taylor is going to be seen very well in history for speaking out the way he did i think as for the state department you know i mean if the career professionals there are

watching this closely and you see somebody like bill taylor who served his country with distinction for several decades being called a radical on elected bureaucrat by the white house i think it's going to cause more people to want to speak out to violate the state department's guidance that says they shouldn't testify before congress which they probably shouldn't be giving that order in the 1st place because congress has a legitimate investigation here and i also think it's going to cause you know potential defections from the state department people leaving if this is what it's going to be like because u.s. diplomacy is supposed to advance the national interest it is not supposed to advance the president's personal or political interests still had on al-jazeera roads are blocked across lebanon as anti-government protests continue for a 7 day. protest protests break out in bolivia after a confusing election results.

watching al-jazeera let's take a look at the top stories right now russia's kremlin says syrian kurdish fighters must pull back from the border or face further military action from turkey under a deal agreed to by president or the one and putin y.p. fighters have 150 hours to withdraw at least 30 kilometers back inside syria. egypt has accepted an offer from the u.s. to help break a deadlock with ethiopia over a multi-billion dollar dam project on the nile when it's finished it will provide electricity for ethiopia egypt as more of the project will shrink its share of the river. emergency services in the u.k. have found 39 bodies in a container truck in essex southeast england

a truck driver us been arrested following this discovery of vehicles believed to have been driven from all carry at. friends across lebanon are being blocked by anti-government protesters who are calling for political change protester now and there are 7 day and the army's attempting to reopen roads the government has vowed schools and universities will reopen but staff are threatening to strike the demonstrations are continuing despite the approval of unprecedented economic reforms as you know who has the latest from the capital beirut. if the governing coalition was hoping people will get tired or that their new economic reform package would be enough to stop this protest movement has not happened yet in fact protesters are promising. they're blocking roads not only in the lebanese capital beirut but across the country highways are blocked really trying to pile

pressure on the government paralyzing this country the lebanese army security forces they're out in force in the street but they're not using force to open the roads what they're doing is they're trying to convince protesters to make way for cars to pass in effect not disrupting public life this is something the government was hoping would happen that the protesters would stay in the square they have the right to demonstrate this is what the prime minister said but he also said that he instructed the army to make sure public life is not the stop the but like i mentioned the army is not using force we have to remember the international community has its eyes on 11 on any force used against peaceful protesters could jeopardize much needed aid $11000000000.00 of funds that the government needs to improve the economic situation so protesters keeping up the pressure they're now trying to organize themselves this was a leaderless movement and it seems they're trying to find a leader they're actually collecting names people talk to each other they came up with a manifesto

a shared plan if you like on what they want to see happen they want the government to resign a salvation government to take control of the country until early elections are held so they're not backing down they've created committees a committee to deal with the army. a committee to to be in charge of cleaning the streets for example a committee to try to reap the financial are funds in order for this protest movement to continue but at the same time while this is a leaderless movement there are some politicians in the opposition who are riding on this popular anger trying to push their own agenda there is no doubt about that and this is the real fear among people here this started as an authentic movement a real movement a hunger revolution if you like this is what many people say but that is only until it is hijacked and that is the fear people have in the. state run news agency says an israeli drone has been shot down with a hunting rifle near the border israeli military says the drone fell near a lebanese village during routine security activity they refused to comment on the

appears at the moment that the mari came from bulge area originally and entered the u.k. or into the mainland of the u.k. at the port of holyhead in north wales not at the transit point for traits and lorries coming in from northern ireland. the police are treating it as a tragic incident and a murder inquiry has begun they say it will take a lengthly process to identify the victims that talking about $38.00 adults and want teenager to cordon around the scene is expected to be in price for quite some time. and it is. the torah council is working to. mitigate the impact on surrounding businesses but everybody's thoughts will be with the relatives the bereaved relatives and with the tragic 9 people who've lost their lives in this incident.
